Piers' pov

I opened the door to my apartment. I'd returned the Noivern to its pokeball since I doubted that it would be easy to get it through the door. I had to cover the front of the pokeball so it couldn't get out and I could feel the ball shaking with it trying to get out. I made sure the other three pokemon were in the apartment before closing the door. I placed the three pokeballs that were occupied on the old coffee table and within seconds of putting its pokeball, the Noivern was out. It let out another screech to which I covered my ears to try and avoid loosing my hearing. When finished, it sniffed me again, nudging me with its muzzle while its tail brushed across the floor. It turned its head and started to look around the room, letting out quieter noises than its screeches from before. It started to explore the room, nudging into stuff. The other two pokeballs shook and an Umbreon and a Toxel came out. The Umbreon shook its head, looking around. Its golden eyes fell on me and it let out a cry of aggression, pushing its body down to the ground.
"I'm not a threat" I assure it. The Espeon comes over and licks its cheek while the Boltund barks at it, ears falling forward. The Toxel looked around the room, nose twitching. Its eyes watered and it started crying out, head raised up to the roof. I pick it up but it doesn't seem to like it because it thrashes about, kicking its small legs about in an attempt to free itself. Another scream from the Noivern followed by it grabbing onto the back of my jacket and attempting to hoist me up makes me drop the small pokemon.
"Oh shit" I hiss. Just before it hit the ground, a colourful aura surrounded it and it was gently lowered to its feet. I looked at the two psychic types, spotting the yellow fade from the Ponyta's mane and the green turn a darker shade again. The Noivern dropped me, lowering its head down to the Toxel. I got up and walked into the bedroom to check on the girl. She was still unconscious but had turned onto her side and was sleeping somewhat peacefully in the blankets. I leaned forward and placed my hand on her forehead to check for any drop in temperature. She seemed to be fine for now. A screech from the living room that nearly burst my eardrums caught my attention. It was from the living room and could only be the Noivern. I walked back into the living room where Marnie was stood in the hall that led there, the Noivern just partly blocking my view of her while letting out an Arceus tier screech once again. I covered my ears before walking over. I removed one hand, risking my eardrum while tugging on its wing to get its attention. It turned to me, bright yellow eyes almost illuminated in the darkness as it stared at me. It broke its gaze and wandered away to another area of the room. I turned to Marnie.
"Where 'ave ya been?" I asked.
"Out" she responded before her gaze locked on the Noivern.
"Where'd ya get a Noivern?" she asked.
"It ain't mine" I replied. She looked around the room, eyes trailing between all the over pokemon.
"Have ya got so desperate that yer stealin' Pokemon now?" she asks, bending down to pet the Umbreon who let out a happy chirp at the attention.
"Didn't steal 'em.  A trainer washed up on Circhester bay. Brought 'er back here" I explained.
"So you ain't stealin' Pokemon?" she asks. I sigh while Marnie rolls her eyes. Something falling to the ground caught both of our attention and we looked. The Noivern had knocked over a photo while pushing its muzzle around in a drawer, winged claw clutching onto one side of the old wood.
"Oi. Stop that" I told it. It turned around and let out another screech to which both of us covered our ears to block out the loud sound. The Noivern flapped its wings before being barked at by the Boltund. The two stared at each other before the Noivern curled up on the ground, wings held close to its body while its tail brushed across the floor.
"Never thought I'd see the day a Boltund tamed a Noivern" Marnie states, crossing her arms. I just stared at them. The Boltund barked one last time before turning to us and tilting its head.
"Good..........Boltund?" I ask. It barks happily, small sparks fluttering off its fur before vanishing seconds later. I extended one hand, walking closer. It nuzzled its head into my hand.
"Piers?" Marnie asks. I turn to look at her. She was running her hand through the Ponyta's mane.
"I think their hungry" she states. I look over the other three pokemon. The Eeveelutions were looking unhappy, ears pointed downward while the Toxel let out small cries, stomping its little feet on the ground. I walked to the kitchen and looked for any pokemon food. I found some food in one cupboard. I poured it out into 6 bowls and brought the food out two at a time. All of them were cautious to eat the food at first but when they realized it was safe to eat, they quickly scarfed it down.
"Guess they were" I sigh. The pokemon were mostly quiet after they had a meal. Some of them still fidgeted or even moved about the room but no loud screeching from the Noivern so that was better. I settled down on the couch, pulling a thin blanket over myself and closing my eyes in an attempt to fall asleep. It took awhile but I eventually drifted off to sleep.
