Pokemon: Rise of Team Imperial(Me & Elphie)

She bit her lip, worried. Do you know where they went?

 

[Detective Calvin]

The meadow, I think. If they're not in the house, they have to be there. I'll meet you there.

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

Maya headed outside and flew to the Meadow, reveling in the feeling of air against her feathers.

 

[Detective Calvin]

Calvin was running to the meadow at full speed when a familiar voice blasted through his mind.

Mama! Daddy! Help! It's Auntie! She... she... Annie's tearful, fearful voice trailed off, and the line went blank.

Annie? What's wrong? What happened to Camille? Annie?! No reply. Maya, tell me you got that.

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

I did.

Maya flew as fast as she could.

 

[Detective Calvin]

As he ran, Calvin sent a quick text to Brianne. Trouble @ meadow. Camille. May need assistance. As he entered the clearing, he aw all the kids huddled in a circle. They all sounded frightened, and Sophie could be distinctly heard crying hysterically while Annie tried to comfort her.

Maya landed beside him and ran towards the children. At the sight of her, the children ran towards them. They loved all their caretakers, but Maya and Mina -as hybrids- were the ones they bonded with most.

 

[Detective Calvin]

As the children gathered in front of Maya, Calvin saw the source of he disturbance. Camille was lying on the lakebed, completely limp and soaking wet. "What happened?" He demanded, running over to her.

"Kevin... he knocked her into the water..." Sophie sobbed. "She went underwater, then came up like this." She floated in the air face-down and limp, imitating a drowned body.

"Fuck!" Calvin hissed, immediately starting to do CPR on her.

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

The children huddled close to Maya and she wrapped her wings around them, holding Annie and Sophie in her arms.

 

[Detective Calvin]

"Is my Mommy gonna be okay?" Sophie sobbed.

Some bushes rustled, and everybody else came barreling in, all of them in a panic.

((Cue eppic freakout from Bri?))

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

"Camille!" Brianne darted for her, almost knocking Calvin out of the way.

 

[Detective Calvin]

"Whoa!" Calvin shouted, falling back. "Yeah, knock me into the water, why don't you? That's how she ended up like that."

"She drowned?" Victoria asked.

"According to Sophie, yes." Calvin said. "Kevin knocked her in, and she floated back up face down."

"I thought she could swim?" Kalie said, trying vainly to fight back tears.

"She can. Which means something was preventing her from doing so." Calvin mused.

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

Kevin was whimpering, feeling terribly guilty, and Maya quietly comforted him.

 

[Detective Calvin]

Victoria hurried over to Camille and finished what Calvin started.

"I don't get it..." Calvin thought out loud. "I know she can swim, because we learned to swim together. Something kept her from swimming back to the surface, yet she was able to float back to the surface unhindered after she drowned..."

((Her legs cramped, but he can't figure that out.))

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

Maya bit her lip, concerned.

 

[Detective Calvin]

Calvin turned to Brianne. "Tell me you have some idea of how this happened." He practically begged, struggling to keep tears from welling up.

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

Agitated by his distress, Maya wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I know she just ate a little bit ago. Maybe she cramped."

 

[Detective Calvin]

Calvin seemed to consider this. "We can still bring her back, right?"

 

[Abstractwatercolor]

"Yes."

"Auntie," Annie knelt by Cam's side and shook her. "AAAAAuntieeee,"

 

[Detective Calvin]

Camille didn't respond. If someone were to reach into her mind, they'd get emptiness.
