"I'm bored," I whined to my empty room. It's been a few days since school ended and I didn't have anything to do. Lying on my bed was comfortable but boring. I got off my bed and looked around my room for something to do. I've read all the books on bookshelf multiple times. I didn't really feel like looking for a new show on Netflix either. I searched through my desk drawers and found the perfect solution.
"Pokemon? I haven't played this in a while." I said out loud to myself as I got out my 3DS. I pulled out Pokemon black, I liked the different villain plot line. And N was such a cutie.
After beating two gyms, I started to get sleepy. I made sure to save my progress and then leaned back into my pillows. It'd be great to live in the Pokemon world. Life would be so easy and fun.
"I wish I could live in the Pokemon world." I whispered to myself before falling asleep.
"Hey are you okay?" a voice asked. I groaned, who's in my room? "Can you walk?" the voice spoke again. I mumbled incoherently, still half-asleep.
I was suddenly lifted into the air and jolted awake. A tall cute boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes was carrying me, bridal style. He was wearing overalls and his general person seemed to be covered in dirt.
He suddenly made eye contact with me. "So you're awake now?" he said with a bright smile. "Umm Yeah. You can put me down now." I muttered, very embarrassed. I felt heat rising in my cheeks but forced in down. He put me down, and I looked around. It appeared we were in the woods, however there were several strange fruit trees I had never seen before.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Black. What's your name?" the boy asked.
"I'm Cassandra." I replied. "Can you tell me where I am? I'm not sure how I got here."
"Sure, you're just behind Floccesy Ranch." Black said. He voice carried a lot of volume and for a second I didn't realize the meaning behind his words.
"Wait, does that mean I'm in Unova?" I asked slowly, not quite connecting the dots yet.
"You sure are!" Black replied. "Wait, are you a Pokemon trainer?"
"No, I'm just lost," I replied, thinking fast. I somehow ended up in the Pokemon world, and in Unova. What do I do? How do I explain where I came from? And I'm going to need a place to stay, and money.
"You come stay with my Mom and me at Floccesy Ranch. If you don't have anywhere to go." Black said cheerfully. "We have plenty of space."
"Oh, thank you," I said, I don't remember the player character living in Floccesy Ranch. Also Black was in the first Pokemon black and Floccesy Ranch was in Pokemon black 2. It appeared that this world wasn't exactly like the games.
We walked through the woods together, but I was fascinated by all the Pokemon
I could see. There were Pidoves and Patrats and Lillipups all over the place. I think I even saw a Riolu! After walking for a whole, we reached a fence. We climbed over it to see Black's house. There was also a herd of Mareep and tall iris flowers swaying in the breeze.
"Wow! So this is Floccesy Ranch," I exclaimed. "It's beautiful."
"Thanks, it's been in my family for generations. " Black said, gazing proudly at his home. "I love this place, but sometimes..."
I waited for him to continue, but when it became obvious he wouldn't, I looked at him. He looked fondly at the ranch but his eyes, which were a beautiful coffee color, held a trace of melancholy.
"It's nothing important," Black said when he noticed me staring. "I should introduce you to my Mom."
"Wait, do you think she won't let me stay?" I asked, suddenly apprehensive. I don't know my way around, and I don't have anyone else to go to.
"Nah, my mom'll love you." Black said with a wink. "She wishes she had a daughter too."
I wondered why she didn't, then remembered that it seems like the father was never in any of the games except for Norman.
We walked up to the house and Black held the door open for me. I thanked him and walked inside. I put my shoes neatly to the side while Black just kicked his off.
"Hey Mom!" he yelled. "I'm home! And I brought a girl with me!"
Doesn't that sound like I'm his girlfriend, I thought. I'd love to date someone as cute as Black and he seems pretty nice, but I just met him. I hoped his mother wouldn't jump to conclusions.
"A GIRL!" a woman's voice yelled excitedly from upstairs. She came running down. She was pretty and it was obvious that Black got his eyes from his mother. Her hair was tied up in a huge bun with an orange hair tie. She was wearing jeggings, a bright tangerine colored skirt with large front pockets and a bow in the back, and a simple sky blue t-shirt.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Black's mother asked with a wink.
"No, I just found her in the backwoods," Black replied, blushing. "I offered her a place to stay. It's not a problem, is it?"
"Of course not, it'll be good to have a young girl around." Black's mother said. She was cheerful and loud, just like Black. "I'm Mrs. Floccesy, it's very nice to meet you. Your name is..?"
"Oh, I'm Cassandra," I said as I held my hand out to shake. She shook my hand firmly while smiling warmly.
"What a pretty name, and unusual too," Mrs. Floccesy said. "Where are you from?"
"Umm," I stalled. If I lied, I could get caught pretty easily. I didn't want to lie to Black and Mrs. Floccesy though. They seemed like decent people and they were being so kind to me, a complete stranger. But I couldn't just say I came from another world. Or that this world is a game where I'm from and that they're just NPCs or players in Black's case.
"It's complicated," I ended up saying, awkwardly. Wow, I just made myself ten times more suspicious.
"That's fine, your past is your past," Mrs. Floccesy said. "Now let's get you situated."
"Cool, I'm gonna go get the Mareep inside the farmhouse," Black said, as he walked out the door.
"Don't forget to bring Herdier and the Lillipups inside the house afterwards," Mrs. Floccesy called to him.
"Yeah, yeah I know Mom," Black called back over his shoulder.
"Here Cassandra, follow me upstairs." Mrs. Floccesy said. We walked upstairs and went into the first room on the left. Inside was a quaint room with a queen-sized bed, a nightstand, and a large dresser. The walls were arctic blue and the floor was a cream-colored hardwood. A large rectangular window above the bed let light filter in.
"This is the guest room," Mrs. Floccesy said. "Make yourself at home."
"Thanks for all your help," I said quickly before she could leave. "I really appreciate your kindness. If there's anything I can do to repay it I'd be happy to-"
"Nonsense," Mrs. Floccesy exclaimed, cutting me off. "As a mother, I could never leave a child alone in the woods overnight."
A child? I'm seventeen, if not an adult I'm definitely considered teenager.
"Now you should get some rest," Mrs. Floccesy said, her eyes softening. "You look exhausted. You should throw on the nightgown in the top drawer. I'll clean your clothes tomorrow and you can take a hot bath in the morning, alright?"
"Thanks for everything," I yawned. I was suddenly hit by a wave of exhaustion.. After Mrs. Floccesy left, I locked the door and changed. I crawled into bed and fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.
