I awoke when I heard yelling from outside my den. I half opened my eyes, but immediately they snapped open. I coughed; my whole den was filled with smoke. Sure, I was a fire type, but I still couldn't breathe smoke. I got lower to the ground, and crawled out of my hole.
"CiCi! What's goin' on?!" I screamed at the panicking Roselia that was completely losing it about ten feet away from me.
"Fire! FIYER!!" CiCi screamed back at me while waving her roses around.
"Oh… Okay." I said, turning around to go back to bed. Then it clicked.
"Wait. FIRE?!" I said, wide eyed. CiCi gave me the 'no way' look, and then ran over to me.
I grabbed her arm (in my mouth, I don't have hands), and took one last look at my home, and ran.
"Mae, where are you going?!"
"Away! I dun wanna get fried to a crisp in a stupid fire!" I yelled.
We (I) had run to the edge of the Petalburg Woods. We had landed in some place the rare human passerby called 'Rustburo City'. I had just about passed out from exhaustion. CiCi's voice broke the silence.
"Hey Maelle, do you think we'll ever be able to go home?"
"No." I answered, slightly irritated that she had used my real name. 'Maelle' sounded to girlish and weird. 'Mae' sounded more 'touch me and I will blow your brains out' to me.
"Okay, now you're just being negative." CiCi said.
"Remember what Moe used to tell me?" I said, rolling over to face her.
"Yes… A little… Kinda… Not Really." She said, changing her answer as she thought about it.
"He said: 'Think negatively, and positive things will happen'. I've always lived by that rule."
"Moe was a good guy, I'll miss him." CiCi said, remembering the old Pelliper that occasionally visited the woods.
"Yeah…" I replied. Moe was pretty much family next to my Mom. And she was never around.
"Mae… You know, Vulpix's actually GAIN ENERGY from fire…" CiCi said.
I sat up, and gave her a death glare. "You're kidding, right?"
"Nope, you shouldn't have skipped studies."
"You know very well that ya can't make me do anything I don't want to, studies and homework included." I said, giving her a skeptical look.
"Yeah, then you scramble at the last minute to get it done." CiCi said.
"I sense a lecture coming on…"
"Exactly. You cheat off of me!" CiCi yelled.
"I do not! I just… get some help from you without you really noticing…"
"In other words, cheating." CiCi said.
I sighed. Sometimes, she should just keep her mouth shut.
"Hey! Look, a Vulpix and a Roselia!" Some female human with a
CiCi gave me a 'lets go kick butt look'. I nodded.
"Let's go!!"
