What Am I?

More Explosions and Surprises

        Kenji lifted her up into his arms and crawled over to one of the windows. He kicked at the glass with all his might, and the glass shattered, but a couple metal bars from the Ferris Wheel had fallen in their way.

        “Damn it.” He growled.

        A low groan sounded from above them, causing Kenji to look up through the windows. The whole entire Ferris Wheel was starting to collapse.

Kenji turned back to the broken window. He could see a way to safety through the flames. The only thing that was keeping them from reaching it were the bars.

        Just when all hope seemed lost, the metal bars were flung out of the way by a purple glow, and the flames seemed to part before Kenji and Jen. Without hesitating, Kenji, with Jen still in his arms, bolted out of the basket and out of the smoke and flames. The fresh air hit him like a wall, but he didn’t stop running until his legs gave out from under him.

        Some paramedics rushed over to him, and tried to pry Jen away from him, but he only clung to her tighter. “Don’t.” He growled.

        “It’s okay, son. We’re here to help.” They said as they tried to reassure him.

        Kenji still wouldn’t let her go.

        A hand grabbed him lightly on the shoulder, and Kenji glanced over his shoulder. “Red?”

        He felt Jen stirring, but found that it was only Vulpix nuzzling her arm. The fox Pokemon must have been trying to wake her up. Jen’s Rattata and Haunter, on the other hand, looked on in worry.

        “She’s going to be alright, son. We just need to give her an I.V. and an oxygen mask. It might even help her wake up sooner.”

        Red nudged Kenji’s shoulder and nodded.

        He sighed and reluctantly allowed the paramedics to take Jen to one of their ambulance. They laid her on a gurney and placed an oxygen mask over her mouth. Some of them turned to Kenji and handed him an oxygen mask as well.

        He placed it over his mouth and breathed in deeply. The fresh air from the mask forced him to cough violently as his body began to expel the smoke that clouded his lungs. “Gawh!” He groaned.

        “Keep on using that. I know it’s uncomfortable, but you want to get as much of the smoke out of your lungs as you can.” One of the paramedics said.

        Kenji placed the mask back over his mouth and looked over at Jen. She was breathing, which was good, but she didn’t look like she was going to wake up anytime soon.

        A couple paramedics got in his way and examined Jen. “I see some blunt force trauma to the head. Major concussion. She’ll need to be taken to the emergency room immediately.”

        Red and Kenji flinched when they heard the paramedics say this.

        “Are you two related to this girl?” The paramedics asked.

        Both boys nodded.

        “Alright. Get in and we’ll take you too.”

        Red summoned his Pokemon back into their Pokeballs, while Jen’s Pokemon hopped in the ambulance beside Jen. The paramedics shut the back doors and drove off with the teens towards the hospital.

        Two hours later

        Red, Kenji, and Jen’s Pokemon were waiting outside of Jen’s room when Libby arrived at the hospital with her Pokemon.
