A dream?

Where the hell am I? Dan said as he stood in the center of a pitch black room, that occasionally flashed a spotty red. It was periodical, every half a 2 second. But every so often, there would be no flash, a rumble. The seconds of uncomfortable black. Then everything went back to as normal as possible. It kept looping like that for what seemed like hours then, light.

Dan sat up, it seemed to have been forever since he was awake, a nurse attending to him, went to grab a doctor.

"Ugh, shit. Everything hurts." Dan whispered to himself, laying back down. His chest was in searing pain, but after a quick check, it was clear why.

A jagged line going from the top of his chest to the bottom of his ribs.

"It's gonna feel like that for awhile." The doctor said as he fidgeted with a strange machine

"When you arrived here, you heartbeat was very off-track. Going between beating fast and slow. At one point, you had technically died." The doctor said, Dan gulped, unable to say anything.

"But, we got you back on track, but, we had to put in a pacemaker. It'll help on making sure your heart doesn't go off-beat again. As well as that, your gonna need to take LOTS of different medication from now on, but that will come later.''

"But before I tell you more, I need a little information, just a formality, not like you got habit of collapsing."

The next few hours had been filled with forms and retrieving medicine, when it was all over, Dan sat with a stack of papers and medicine. He still had a couple of hours but friends and family had finally been allowed to visit, after a quick call to his family back home he texted Margo, and Indigo.

Look, guys, I don't know if you're here already, but I'm awake. Not so well. I can soon whenever but I have to be careful. You'll know why soon. I'm sorry for not telling you anything. But, you guys deserve to know after what you just saw. I'll tell you everything. I'm sorry for this. All of this.

Okay, Imma wait for Kat to post and then post later.

Pokemon: Storm

Something like this might require a visit to a hospital or not, even so. I plan to have it all done and him our in one post.

Pokemon: Storm

He's only just now passed out, so I'd say 3-5 minutes,

Pokemon: Storm

Dan sighed, he knew it was only a matter of time before they asked, but the time they asked just made him feel worse,

"So you guys just came to ask what's wrong with me? Ugh..." He said " Look its, nothing. I talked to my dad but he didn't say much. It seemed he was just as surprised as me at this."

I can't tell them anything. Nothing about my....Sickness.

"Just really bummed, Mom was disappointed and that always sucks. But ya know. That's just life, we make mistakes and forgive other. We don't give each other dirty looks because of one mistake, right?"

Too specific Dan. He thought to himself, getting more visually upset, his heart racing faster than before, remembering Twiggy.

"It's nothing, alright? Just leave it alone." He said as he stood up, something was very wrong.

Twice in one night? This is new.

"I got to go guys." He said standing, trying to wave off the searing pain in his chest. "I forgot to feed...." Dan's mind blanked, his thoughts a blur and a headache arising. "...Twiggy..." He said as he walked off his left leg almost giving out on the spot. This was worse. Worse than last time.

His breath had become short now, and his head felt lighter than a feather, and, to Dan, it was spinning around.

He managed to only get one step up the stairs in the center before his feat gave out completely.
Why didn't I just get medicine like Mom told me to, she said this would happen. Idiot.

He said, as his mind began to blur, as his consciousness faded.

"Twiggy...I'm sorry."

Dan had passed out, drenched in a sudden amount of stress. If his friends didn't act quick, Dan would be in serious trouble.

Pokemon: Storm

Dan nodded at his friends "I'll remember next time, I didn't plan it, it just happened. Anyways be glad you guys didn't go, he had me lug some gross-smelling bags."

When the two showed their new Pokémon, Dan smirked "Nice guys. Guess I have to pick up the pace with training to stay ahead both in the cool and strength factor." He said, reaching for a Poke ball that wasn't there.

"I heard evolution means your Pokémon trust you. I wonder when Grotle's gonna evolve again." He said as he thought If he ever trust me again. Dan's eyed his own shoes quickly waving off sadness, and making sure his body stays in check, he was glad his friends made the effort to talk to him tonight, but, what happened earlier could happen at any time.

On top of that, seeing Crowne cuddle up, the love the Pokémon showed its trainer had made Dan feel worse and worse, reminding him

They don't like you anymore. They don't trust you. The sadness Dan had just waved off visibly returning in force.

@prettydrops Is it my turn, or yours?

Pokemon: Storm

"Hey guys," Dan said, trying to seem as upbeat as usual. "Uhm, boring honestly. I got a badge but..." Dan dug in his bag, grabbing the badge case and showing Indy and Margo. "It was really, easy. The Exeggcute Mom gave me is really tough. Mainly stuff that paralyzes and puts pokemon to sleep, but it has something called confusion, I think, that's really good." He said, putting his badge case back, he needed to seem more normal. He didn't need his friends worrying about him, he could handle it alone.

Pokemon: Storm

Okay, Dan is meeting up with the two. I didn't really have him do much. But, just do whatever those two want to do and meet with Dan whenever. I don't want the end of my post to feel like its rushing you two.

Pokemon: Storm

Dan had tried to sleep after getting back to his room, but couldn't. He started feeling sick, as he did back in Pewter but unlike last time, he knew it wasn't because of the Mime, that was just the start. His mind flashed back to his talk with his Dad and Mom, he knew it was only a matter of time.

He struggled with his breath as his chest tightened up, it felt like someone was both squeezing and punching at the same time. It was exurciating pain, much worse than in Pewter, but it faded just as quickly.

Dan laid down, his stomach hurt now and his appetite was gone, but it was manageable.
Dan stifled his tears, not wanting to seem like a baby to the air in his room as he heard a text come into his Pokedex.

It was from Indy, some meet-up. Dan texted back Sure, he'd wanted to tell Indy and get it all out through text but he couldn't, nobody needed to know, much less his best friend.

Dan spent the rest of his afternoon looking at his Poke balls, wondering if Rat and Twiggy would ever stop looking at him like he was some sort of sadist.

When it was just about time to go and meet with his friends Dan packed everything except his Pokémon, this would be the first time in awhile that he didn't bring atleast Twiggy with him, hooked to his bag for all to see.
