It only gets Worse

Midnight:

"Takk....doom..... Bum...Puff..."

It's weird, I hear some crazy background noises. My ears seem to be not doing good as I hear ReSounds of the same noise.

I slowly open my eyes but then my body wouldn't move to my command, I feel numb, all I see is the ceiling. I tried to lift my hand and it won't budge as if it's not under my control.

"Bam...Kreek...Puff"

I hear them again, What is this sound?... It then took a struggling ten seconds to get my fingers moving, I tried to turn my head sideways to see what's happening.

I see white cotton fluff gracefully falling all-round, just like the dancing Cottonees. Then gradually my eyes become more clear and I notice what's happening,

'The fuck? what's all this cotton? Where did it come from?' I thought.

My brain still felt impassive and I tried to think it through.

"Kid Elekid.."

"Swiish... Tumm.....Bam", I hear more noises.

'Wait, Elekid!!', I thought and jolted myself from the bed.

"Ah, crap, my muscles, this fucking paralysis," I said in annoyance.

I took a detailed look around, it seemed like I was in some crazy Psychiatric hospital.

'What happened to my 5-star Apartment? ' I thought.

Cotton everywhere, broken chairs.... glass pieces near the dining area, random shattered Cupboards that are still getting punched by Elekid and finally messy clothes in random areas. The only things that were intact were light bulbs and windows.

'This was a bad idea from the start!!'

Elekid noticed the minuscule sound of the bedsheets moving and immediately stopped his Cupboard pummeling.

"Elekidd Kidd," it said and ran towards me with joy.

"No No No wait!!!! please don't touch me," I said in a panic while backing away. I can't handle one more paralysis in my current state.

I very intensely shaked my hands signalling it not to come. But who knew that Gods are playing a game on me.

I was very clear with my words, but all Elekid understood was 'Come to me, my child, give daddy a huge fat hug.'

With invisible sweat dropping from my head, I looked around and spotted my saviour. I took a huge leap in the opposite direction of Elekid's jump and grabbed the Pokeball that lay on the floor.

I don't even know how the Pokeball got there but that's not important, I turned back and returned Elekid just before its body made contact with my T-shirt.

'Phew, close call' I thought.

"Ahhh.....Crap.....Strain!! ," I said in pain clutching my back.

The fall with the addition of my body being numb might have strained my muscles.

"I couldn't have my day any worse, I don't know how Ethan is doing with his Munna," I muttered while slowly trying to get back on my bed.

"Growl.....", I suddenly heard my stomach's roar.

Great now I feel hunger. I don't even have anything to eat, maybe I should eat the mashed food of Elekid? No!! bad idea, Pokemon food is not for humans.

'I will look at the Ground floor, shops might be open,' I thought.

But before going there I need to get rid of this paralysis. The only way would be to seal the contract and get it over with.

'Elekid acknowledged me so it's safe to assume that we are partners now' I thought again reassuring and convincing myself.

I slowly took the Pokeball and gave a deep look at it. It was made of wood so it did not have a smooth surface or shiny steel-like look. There are two key differences compared with the pokeballs used in games or anime. Instead of a shining red button, these pokeballs had a mechanical 'Zip-lock' kind of enclosure. The Top had a nozzle through which the steam comes when a Pokemon is caught. The nozzle is also used to drop some blood for contract sealing.(image in comments)

Now, how do I get blood? I can't bite my finger like how Naruto does while using summoning. So I tried looking around in this mess of an apartment.

I instantly spotted the broken glass pieces near the dining area. Trying to move closer, I dragged my feet with one hand while holding the Pokeball in the other. I moved in the most awkward way possible due to the muscle strain.

After a tiresome minute of dragging, I reached my destination. I took a broken glass shard and pricked my finger. I barely felt any pain with all the shit my body is going through. I then squeezed the finger and dropped the blood right into the hole over the top of Pokeball.

Nothing happened for a second and then abruptly I felt a spark like sensation in the cerebellum part of my brain. I dropped the Pokeball and clutched my head, I don't know what was happening but I felt the tendons on each bone going through some unknown changes. Luckily I couldn't feel most of the pain due to my muscles being unresponsive.

It took nearly five minutes for everything to settle down and I felt a bit better. I could sense all parts of the body being back in control. Although I am not sure about how much of my reflexes improved, it's better than being paralysed.

I slowly got up supporting my back and took a seat in one of the intact chairs. I then took the Pokeball and released Elekid out, I only did this because I am sure Elekid can understand me now.

The moment Elekid appeared, it put its hand on its waist.

"Elekid, Eleeekidd," it said as if complaining about what happened earlier. Luckily even trainers can understand the meaning of their Pokemon's words due to the connection formed through contract.

"I am sorry about earlier but what you did to the room after I blacked out is bad, so from next time you shouldn't repeat it, ok?" I said more gently as no kid likes to be yelled at.

"Elekidddd Kid," it said in surprise.

"Yeah, don't be surprised. I know that you can understand me and I too can understand you. From here on, you will be listening to me, otherwise no milk or food for you," I said trying to keep a monotonous face.

[No No, not the milk. I really do not know why I acted like that, I just did it instinctively, But now, I am thinking more clearly than before. I promise I promise...I won't break things in our house again.] it said.

(Arthur's Pokemon's communication would be in "[ ]" these brackets)

"Growl.....", was the immediate sound I heard from Elekid's stomach after it said that.

[I am hungry!!! I did not eat anything since you slept. Now that I remember!!!! I think I was searching for food, that's why I caused this mess] it said in realization.

"Alright, I too am hungry. Just forget about the mess, earlier you only had wild instincts," I said and slowly moved towards the drawer in the kitchen.

I took out a milk pack and poured it inside the bowl for Elekid to drink. Elekid jumped up to the elevated table and lifted the bowl immediately.

"While you have your drink, I will go downstairs and check if the shops are opened, I did not have anything since the afternoon," I said while checking the wall clock which was surprisingly not broken.

The time was 3:00 AM, and I got paralyzed at 4:00 PM. That was nearly 11 hours of blackout, I am glad that Elekid was still a baby and had a very low amount of electricity inside.

[Can I come with you, I too want to see the outside, ] it said expectantly gulping the milk in full while cleaning its mouth with the paws.

I contemplated and decided that it was better to take it with me than leave here.

"I will take you out if you answer my question," I said making Elekid fold its hands and nod as if saying go ahead.

"Are you a male or a female?" I ask to which Elekid tilts its head sideways.

[What is male? and what is female?] it asked in confusion.

Yeah, that was a stupid question. It's like asking a newborn about being a boy or girl.

"Anyways, forget it. Come, let's go together but the only condition is to always behave. No running off or destroying things, if you follow these rules I will feed you with an extra milk pack after we come back," I said to which the Elekid nodded instantaneously.

"Ok, let's go," I said clutching my back and opening the main door.

'I need to get some potions to heal,' I thought.

"Wait!!! I forgot the wallet...." I said and went back in. Butler Frederick had given me my brother's savings, let's see how much is in there.

I went in and searched around for ten seconds and finally found the heavy bag inside the side compartment of my large suitcase. I then loosened the threads around the hefty money bag to see how much is inside,

The moment I peeked in, the only thought I had was 'Holy Fuck!!! isn't this a bit too much?'

There was easily around 2 million or more. Well, Frederick did say that this was the money for a green grade starter but still!!!!

I directly took around 10k and went outside, I locked my room door again and said to Elekid, "We are all set to go."

There was no response from Elekid,

"Elekid? Elekidddd, ELEKIDDDD.....," I called out loud, expecting a reply.

This is only getting worse. I swear I saw it 30 seconds ago, Elekid even promised me.

'Fuck!!!', I should have realized to not let Elekid move away from my sight. If not for this backache, I would have thought more rationally. Now I need to search for him.....

'Maybe he went downstairs!!!! I did mention that the shops are on the bottom floor.' I thought.

I then looked to my left and right but only to find empty long corridors with yellow bulbs glowing brightly. Somehow, this atmosphere seems very familiar. Now, I have some bad memories going through my head.

'No, do not think about the Conjuring series,' I said in my head. But trying to not think is the same as thinking about it. Never in my life did I think that this God damn perfect memory quirk would have disadvantages.

"Elekid??? Are you there??" I said trying to forget about secondary thoughts, I walked at a slow pace towards the stairs that lead to the ground floor. This backache of mine is not helping me much with this situation.

After a long three minutes of calling out Elekids name and comforting my back, I made it to the stairs.

"Elekid? where did you run off to. Did you get lost??" I said while holding the support handle near the stairs.

'This is not working at all.'

'Maybe I can find someone on the ground floor to ask for some help. I am sure they would know more about this place,' I thought and slowly made my way downstairs.

"Flicker... Flick..... Flicker"

Suddenly, the lights around me started flickering at a faster rate. After around 8-9 flickers, everything went dark.

'Fuck, this is Elekid's work for sure' I thought.

I sighingly made my way downstairs to find someone for help. I badly wanted a potion so that I can run around at a faster speed. As I was halfway through, gradually the temperature around me turned cold and I heard an abrupt young child-like voice that gave me chills.

"Letttttt??"

I turned my head around mechanically while clutching my fingers in tension. The only thing I could see in the dark was a shiny yellow spiral pattern and two rectangle-shaped eyes.

'Okay, I am definitely screwed!!! a ghost was the last thing I wanted to see in my situation,' I thought.

It started walking towards me while I stood there with my feet fixed to the stairs. I did not know how to handle this encounter, I can't run in my situation and there is no way I could defeat it, so the only way is to talk my way out.

This Pokemon might understand me.... 'maybe it is a Trainer's Pokemon.'

"Hi, I am Arthur, nice to meet you," I said in the dark like a fucking moron.

"Golett?? Lett Golett!!!" it said enthusiastically while reaching more closer to me.

It sounded more friendlier than expected so I calmed my nerves down.

"Are you also lost? where's your trainer?" I asked cautiously.

"Golett Golett," it said while shaking its head and hands as if indicating that it can't find him/her.

By the time it stood 10 I'm away from me, I could see its appearance completely. Golett looks like a light, blue, compact robot-like Pokémon, with yellow lights and a blue diamond with a spiral pattern on its stomach. It also has stubby rocks for feet and big, bulky arms.(image in comments)

"I too lost my Pokemon. It's a yellow Pokemon that's almost half the size of you. Have you seen it?" I ask while trying to sit down on the stairs.

"Lett? Gooooo...lett.....Golett!!!" it said confused and then nodded intensely.

"Great, can you lead me there? I will also help you find your trainer after that," I said hoping for an affirmative answer.

"Golett," it said nodding and pointing me to the ground floor.

'Okay, my guess was right!!' I thought and we started walking downstairs.

The next second I heard a deep male voice getting more audible with each tenth of a second.

"Which idiot in the First-year students is your trainer. Causing a blackout all over the dorm on the first day and now I can't even find that brat of Golett who is as curious as a Growlithe."

"Elekid Kid ELEKIDDD."

"I already told you stupid. This kind of zap is nothing to me... First, I need to recover all the damage expenditures from your trainer, including the fee for my emotional damage..." said the voice again as it came closer and closer

"Goletttt...." shouted Golett in ecstasy while recognising the voice. It immediately phased through the floor.

But before it completely phased through, the man had already arrived. He was holding one of Elekid's prongs with a single hand. Now, I could see everything around me because of the occasional lightning sparks that Elekid is emitting to escape.

The man noticed my presence and halted in his tracks. Elekid too stopped struggling after spotting me.

"This little runt is your Pokemon?" he asked with a mean intense look.
