Chapter 1
(Skittles' POV)
"Hello mister, are you ok?"
I heard voices but could not see, My vision was taken by darkness. I groaned softly. I was conscious but I felt like I was in a daze. My body ached all over too.
"Miu, I think he's hurt, what are we going to do?"
I heard another voice call out sounding worried. Even though my eyes were closed I could feel a slight summer breeze brush against me, as well as the warm sun beaming down on me keeping me pleasantly warm. I tried to open my eyes, but with every attempt my head but with every attempt my head started pounding, the pain was so intense I just couldn't bring myself to stir awake.
"Hey Hazel, do you still have that Sitrus berry Zion gave us?"
"Yeah, but if he's out cold he wont be able to eat it."
The two of them seemed to be talking about me, I wish I could sit up or say something but my body was to weak to move. And the headache added to the pain making things unbearable.
"no silly, the juice inside the berry holds the healing properties not the flesh"
I heard the first voice say with a slight giggle.
"Ohh, Derp" the second voice responded before I heard a tearing noise.
"Ok hold him up for me while I pour the juice down" one of the voices said. A moment later I felt someone's hands support my head and lift me up a little, the action caused my head to throb in pain. I grunted a little in pain and just wished for the headache to go away.
"Ok, be careful Hazel
"I will Miu don't worry"
I heard them say as I felt something press up to my lips and a liquid of some kind trickle down my thought. I couldn't describe the flavour of the liquid, it seemed to be a combination of every flavour I knew of, and many I didn't. either way I instinctively drunk the strange drink. Immediately the pain started to ebb away. I slowly opened my eyes, the sight that greeted me was a little odd. In front of me stood a Ralts, on one hand she was holding a yellow pair shaped berry that had darker yellow spots dotted around it, her other hand was on her hip, she was stood very casually.
"Hey, you're finally awake. About time as well" She said to me with a grin on her face,
I nodded slowly, somehow a talking Pokémon seemed a little out of place but I couldn't explain why.
"Oh he's awake? That's a relief"
Came a voice from behind me. I looked up to see a Victini smiling down at me, my head was being supported in her paws.
I slowly picked myself of the ground, much to the protest of the Flustered Victini and looked between the two girls dizzily. I asked the first question.
"Where, am i?" I asked the girls, my voice was trembling as I spoke as I was too dazed to sound better then I actually was.
The Ralts girl was the one to answer my question
"You're in a place called Prism forest, its just on the outskirts of Jewel town" she said cheerily and turned to her friend, a silent question seemed to be exchanged from the Ralts to the Victini ended with a wink which made Victini blush and look away shyly.
Ralts turned back to me grinning, which made me wonder even more what that was about.
"Anyway, my name's Hazel and miss shy pants over there is my friend Miu." She said and noted her head over to the Victini who was glaring over at Hazel with an annoyed yet embarrassed expression.
"what about you mister, you got a name?" Hazel continued and folded her paws behind her head.
I thought for a moment. "my, name…" I questioned more to myself then the two girls in front of me, who were both regarding me with curious expressions.
I closed my eyes for a moment, a memory seeming to come to me in an instant. "Skittles!" I burst out suddenly without thinking on how it sounded.
Hazel and Miu doubled over in a fit of giggles. Miu was holding her sides, tears streaming down her face.
Hazel, who was clearly laughing the hardest fell onto her back and was crying with laughter as well.
I felt my face flush a little, it was a pretty dumb name but was also kind of funny at the same time. After a few moments the girls composed themselves and faced me again.
"I-I'm sorry for laughing. It's just the way you said Skittles like that. It was just so funny" Miu apologised and bowed politely.
Hazel snickered a little, unable to recover as fast as Miu did. "Yeah, sorry for laughing, but, it is kind of an unusual name. Even for an Emolga." She said while offering me her paw as a gesture to shake.
"Emolga?" I questioned and reached for her paw
Miu tilted her head "yeah, you're an Emolga. How could you not know your own species?" she asked teasingly and gently nudged my arm.
I blinked an confusion, but it wasn't until I shook the Ralts' paw when I realised what they ment.
My paw was yellow and furry. Following my arm up I noticed a pale yellow flap of skin connecting my arm from my wrist all the way down to my ankle.
My belly had also got pale yellow fur in an oval pattern, the rest of my front and back was black. I reached up and touched my face, feeling two very small bumps on my cheeks. Looking behind me I saw a small tail that I moved to make sure it was real.
For some reason I felt that this isn't right, but I still couldn't explain why.
I turned back to the girls, who quickly turned away blushing as if they were watching me as I studied myself. Miu, predictably looking shyer then Hazel.
"umm, Skittles. Are you alright?" Miu asked shyly.
I tilted my head, unsure how to answer that question.
After a few moments of silence Hazel spoke up. "Where are you from?" she asked looking a little worried.
I shook my head. "I-I don't know, my head, it's a blank I can't remember anything"
(Normal POV)
Miu and Hazel looked at the poor Emolga with saddened expressions.
"Gee Skittles, I'm sorry" Hazel said, her chocolate coloured eyes dropping down at the ground. Even little Miu looked away in shame.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't realise you had amnesia." The Victini apologised as well, timidly tapping her foot on the floor.
Skittles smiled and walked over to the Pokémon and gave them a friendly pat on the head. "Don't worry girls its not your fault at all, you've done nothing to be sorry for." He assured them and laughed a little.
Miu and Hazel blushed and looked away, but they were smiling, glad that Skittles wasn't upset with them.
A few moments passed until Skittles spoke up again. "so where are you two from, jewel town?" he asked and folded his arms in front of him. The back of his wing flaps covering his front making him look almost completely black. Miu looked at skittles, although not in the eyes.
"Yep, we are apprentices at the exploration guild there" she finished proudly.
Skittles sweatdropped "umm, what's an exploration guild?" he asked tilting his head.
Miu and Hazel fell over anime style
"you don't know what an exploration guild is?" Hazel nearly shouted, more in surprise than any other emotion once she had stood up again.
Skittles gave her a look, reminding her that he couldn't remember what he had for breakfast this morning.
Miu cleared her throat. "um, well an exploration team if for young Pokémon, like us" she pointed at herself and Hazel "to train to become explorers. We basically go to mountains or forests and do jobs for other Pokémon or helping those in need, weather its retrieving an item someone needs or lost or saving weaker Pokémon who got lost." She explained to the Emolga who looked like he was having a bit of trouble making heads or tails of this.
"Ok… so are the two of you on a mission right now?" he asked slowly unfolding his arms.
The girls looked at each other and smiled.
"Yep, our guildmaster asked us to inspect a strange phenomenon" Miu started
Late last night we had reports of servile large thunderbolts hit an area in this forest, the unusual thing about it was the lightning was black in colour and it struck the same spot repeatedly. We think it has something to so with the natural disasters that have been affecting the world lately, so we were sent to take a look" Hazel finished
Skittles scratched the back of his head and nodded "Ok, sounds interesting" he said slowly and looked around taking a mental note of the area and picking out landmarks. "I umm, I'm not sure of the area too much, would you two mind me tagging along with you for a bit?" He asked nervously, praying they'd say yes and not leave him alone in this strange place.
Miu and Hazel exchanged glances.
"Well, we've never had a boy on our team before and, well-" Miu started
"Of course you can join us Skittles!" Hazel interrupted loudly earning a joyful smile from Skittles and a, what the hell? Look from Miu.
Hazel looked at Miu and giggled at her reaction. "Aww don't be like that Miu, having a boy on our team could be fun." She teased with a little wink causing Skittles and Miu to blush, both of them not wanting to think of what she had in mind when she said that.
Hazel suddenly wedged herself between the two of them and grabbed the startled pokemon's paws in her own and dragged them along. "C-mon slowpokes we're wasting daylight, lets get a move on!" she cheered childishly and dragged them off into the trees ahead. All the time Miu and skittles looked at each other, a mixture of amusement and excitement on their faces.
