Rescuers Side Mission 7: Express delivery to Anana!


PMD-Explorers Mission 7 Epilogue


Mission Complete!

"Good, there're not following us any more," Ariett said, still helping Peter walk.

They were back on their way to the entrance of the city and there was still some time before sundown, which meant that they wouldn't have to go back to Tao Village on foot.

"The Cubone got away with the money though…" Peter said disappointingly.

"Sorry, I couldn't do anything about that." Ariett knew that she wasn't responsible for that, but she still felt bad. "I feel sorry for Anana. She seems to be like in a really bad position. I managed to give her the letter though. Hopefully, it will contain some good news to her."

They remained silent for the next few minutes of walk. More and more Pokémon appeared in the streets and while some shops were closing down, others were opening their doors, for this was the city. The ever alive activities with shops open almost every hour, every day.

"Ariett?" Peter mumbled, frowning a little.

"Hmm?" the Togetic replied.

"Why did you come with me to Tao? And why did you embark on this mission?"

"I thought it was obvious. I'm trying to help you through those tough times. Marston and you don't seem to be able to live without the other. So I just felt like I should try to help you somehow, and this was the only way I knew."

"I see…. So in other words, you are taking Marston's place?"

Ariett stopped in her tracks. "Do you really believe that I'm trying to steal his place in your team?"

"That's what I'm seeing. All these efforts and appearing like that just when Marston was about to disappear, doing everything so I take this mission instead of going to look for him."

"I… I never intended to take his place! I'm worried about him as you do! The first time I saw you two together, I knew that your friendship would be an everlasting one. I decided to help you because I believe in your good intentions towards other Pokémon and feel bad when I remain so far away minding my own business. God, I even took the trouble of getting that medicine for you. But if you seriously think that I'm only trying to steal Marston's place, then say so and I'll leave."

Peter's frown didn't leave his face. He wanted to believe her, he really wanted, but something inside him blatantly refused and remained sceptical. So far, Ariett really did everything to help him, so why did this part of him reject her?

"I will take your silence as a yes, since you don't even have the guts to say it. Farewell then, Peter." Ariett removed Peter's arms from around her neck and took off, probably towards the woods.

Peter watched her go, not saying anything and the frown still on his face. He grunted and hobbled to the city's entrance where he found Barty.

"Is your partner not with you?" the Drifblim asked.

"She is not my partner," Peter said. "Take me back to Tao please."

Barty didn't reply. He simply landed to let Peter in his basket and took off, towards Tao Village.

During the whole trip, Peter remained silent and thoughtful. He didn't know if what he did was a mistake. He didn't know what he could do, or what he would do. Things were so complicated right now… and to think that he and Marston were planning to build a house once they had the means to.

He looked towards the distance, at the setting sun and at the unsettling clouds beyond Alomomola City. Those pitch black clouds flashed with white time and again. It looked like a storm was raging out there.

Over the opposite side rested a big bare land, formerly being covered with the trees from Creeping forest. Now that Jasmine was gone, would nature have enough strength to recover from the wounds inflicted by Sorbet?

Castle Draclugia stood proud and strong, as it always did, as if oblivious to all the happenings around it. Perhaps it was strong enough so that nobody from inside could be affected.

Suddenly, Peter remembered about the library the castle hosted. The library managed by Lexy and Caldera. Peter chuckled when he remembered the puzzles he had to solve for the Eevee in order to get his library card. This time though, his research will not be about the guild; it will be to find Marston.

It was decided, he would go there tomorrow to find out more about Jasmine. There should be something in the library giving him the necessary information and perhaps even, the way to find Marston.

When Peter got to Tao Village, he headed straight to the Spinda Café to have a bite or two, then went into his room once his hunger satiated.

He sat on his bed and looked at the small vial containing the medicine Ariett brought him. For a few minutes, he stared at it, the internal debate of whether he did the right thing relit.

The Pikachu heaved a long and deep sight and grabbed the vial, pouring its contents into a glass before gulping it in one shot.
Okay, that was totally not cool Peter. She's just trying to give her support sheesh! Oh well, I hope things turn out for the better somehow or another.
