(No A/N today. I don't own Pokemon.)
Samantha felt like she was drifting through water. Pink 'clouds' surrounded her. Bright reds, greens, and purples flashed all around.
Is this a dream?
Samantha was a girl who dreamed of living, breathing, Pokemon. She could of sworn that she fell asleep a few short hours ago...
...But this didn't feel like a dream. It felt very real.
Samantha lifted her hand to run her fingers through her soft brown hair. Her other hand touched her cheek. Nope, this isn't a dream. But if not, where is she and what's going on?
Suddenly she felt a soft surface below her. A dull thump signaled that she hit the ground. Beside her, was a very large pool of water.
Samantha crawled over to the pool. The water was slightly milky, suggesting that she probably shouldn't drink it. She could still see her reflection.
Samantha stared into her own electrifying blue eyes. She liked the way that they sparkled.
Then the water milked up so that Samantha could only see her outline. As she watched the water ripple, her outline wavered. Stabs of pain hit her body, and when she blinked, her outline had changed completely.
Samantha's mouth fell open so wide she swore she could feel it brush the floor. The water cleared up, and...
"I... I look like a Snivy!" she blurted to no-one.
Then the floor opened up beneath her. She looked down.
Below her was a wide green forest, a river snaking through it.
"See ya!" Samantha the Snivy called nervously to herself. Then she fell.
Falling. Eh, what an odd feeling. Samantha felt weightless as she fell. It reminded her of her love for skydiving.
The ground was approaching fast. And with it, her death. She had to think fast.
So, when a tree came in sight, she tried to extend a vine to grab it...
...but failed.
Samantha saw the river below. The water hit her like a slap to the face. Then everything went black.
...
"Hey! Wake up! C'mon, I know this river well enough to know it doesn't kill."
The voice's words bounced around Samantha's head like a rubber ball. A flash of movement went across her blacked out vision.
Samantha's eyes flew open. Immediately, she tasted surprisingly muddy water in her mouth. Samantha flipped herself over, placed her hands on the ground and lifted herself up. Then she vomited several mouthfuls of water.
"Oh, good, you're alive. The fall or the river didn't kill you. I was convinced you were dead when I found you in the water an hour or two ago."
Samantha stopped expelling water. " How long have I been out?!" she blurted.
"Well, I was eating my lunch an hour or two ago, then you fell from the sky. You were out when I found you."
Samantha turned. The voice was coming from a handsome young Oshawott. He had a red bandana around his neck.
The Oshawott knitted his brow. "Um, is your arm alright?"
Samantha looked at her arm. It was at a funny angle and she could not feel it. As she moved it, she wailed in pain.
The Oshawott moved toward her. He gingerly picked up her arm. Samantha's eyes welled with tears.
Oshawott smiled comfortingly. "Shh. It's alright. Here; I'll take you to my house."
He stood up and picked her up. Oshawott underestimated her weight and staggered a bit, picking her up too hard.
"I'm Victor, by the way," he said.
"I'm Samantha." she whispered.
"Samantha," Victor said distantly. "I like that name. Hold your breath," he added.
Samantha sucked in a breath, before Victor surrounded them with water, Aqua Jetting his way into the forest.
The forest blurred around them. Victor looked down at Samantha, who was dozing off. Probably not a good idea. Luckily, they had arrived at Victor's house.
Victor skidded to a stop. He was at the foot of a large tree, and at the top was a huge treehouse.
Victor poked Samantha. "Hey, we're here."
The half-dead Snivy opened her eyes. "Mm, Victor. Five more minutes."
Victor rolled his eyes. "No, not if you want your arm to recover correctly. PABLO, MELODIA, COME DOWN HERE!"
Victor yelled this upward. Samantha looked up to see a large tree house. Out jumped a Piplup, waving his stubby wings to keep himself from plummeting to the ground. Which, unfortunately, he did. He landed on his rear.
"Ouch..." he muttered.
He rubbed his beak before catching sight of Samantha.
The Piplup, presumably Pablo, rushed over.
"Oh my stars, what's she done to herself?!" Pablo asked Victor.
Samantha opened her mouth to speak, but Victor cut her off.
"Skydiving accident." Victor blurted. "Her parachute didn't open, she fell in the river."
"Oh, you like skydiving?" Pablo asked Samantha. "Victor's terrified of it. I wonder how he approached you. Melodia and I love skydiving."
Something dropped on top of Pablo.
Standing on top of Pablo was a Meloetta. She had her hands on her hips while looking in every direction. "Oh, there you are, Pablo. You called?"
"Grrrr, off!" Pablo heaved upward, throwing the Meloetta - presumably Melodia - off. She sat bolt upright as she hit the ground, clearly unfazed.
Melodia stood up and caught sight of Samantha, still carried by Victor. She puffed her cheeks up.
"Victor!" she pouted. "You're cheating on me! You're carrying another girl!"
Victor's eyes widened. Almost instinctively, he dropped Samantha.
"OW!" Samantha landed on her broken arm.
Pablo rushed over. "Geez, Victor, that's SOME way to treat a lady." he said. "Are you alright?" Pablo asked Samantha.
Samantha stood up, tears in her eyes and cradled her arm. "Yeah, I think I'm all right."
"Introductions!" Victor cried. "Samantha, you already know me, but I'm Victor none-the-less." He walked over to Pablo and the two leaned on each other's shoulders.
"This is meh bro, Pablo. He's a rapper in his spare time."
Pablo donned some random shades.
"Ahaha! Pablo's in da HOUSE!" Pablo declared.
A vein popped out of Melodia's temple. "Pablo, you are SO annoying!"
Pablo took off his shades, mock tears running out of his eyes. "But I LIKE rapping!" he whined.
Melodia rolled her eyes.
Victor stopped counterbalancing Pablo, causing him to topple over.
"Best friends mess with each other!" Victor threw over his shoulder as Pablo glared at him. Victor stood beside Melodia.
"And this chick over here is my girlfriend, Melodia. Most popular and best looking girl around."
Melodia grinned. "Flattery won't get you anywhere," she dropped to Victor. "But thanks anyway."
"I'm going to grab some bandages," Pablo said. Jumping with unearthly high, he jumped into the tree house. After several banging and crashing noises, he jumped back out with gauze and bandages. He yelped as he fell on his rear again.
