[Blisseraie POV]
Where am I? Ooh.. my head… "Hey, c'mon wake up. Hellooo!" My head felt like it was going to explode. Where am I? I couldn't remember anything. I opened my eyes slowly. "Oh, good you're awake. I thought you weren't going to wake up for a sec." "Huh?" I blinked twice then regained my vision. I saw a squirtle standing before me. "Why does it look bigger than me?" I thought. "Um… can you talk?" "AHHH!" Did,… did that Squirtle just talk?! I'm going crazy. "H-how can you talk? You're a pokemon!" "Well so are you. Although, I've never seen a Charmander with hair before." "What, charmander?" I got up and saw a pond to the west of me and walked towards it. Sure enough, when I looked in, I saw me,… as a Charmander. Oddly, I had my hair. FROM WHEN I WAS A HUMAN! "HAAAAAAH! I-I'm a pokemon!" I was starting to get dizzy. "H-how… What the… Ooh ..." I fainted.
[Sam POV]
Great. She fainted. I wonder what she was doing out here alone? Well, I'm not going to get answers now. I sighed as I tried to pick up the passed-out Charmander and carry her into town. She was heavy, then again I never carried anything my size before. Something was strange about this pokemon. She didn't seem to act like one… let alone even look like one. She was really pretty though. I blushed slightly as I walked into Pokemon Square.
"Hey, Sammy! Who's that you're carrying? She from around here?" "I don't know , Snubbull. And don't call me Sammy. It makes me sound like a girl." "Geez, Bossy much?" He snuffed then walked back to the tree he was relaxing at. I wasn't really in a mood to argue with Snubbull. I was more focused on finding out who this girl was. She definitely wasn't from our these parts. Then, I heard someone say something, rather teasingly. "Hey, look. Sam's found himself a girlfriend." Blastoise. He always tried to find a way to make fun of me ever since I failed to start my own rescue team. I hated, yet admired him. He was the leader of one the most talented rescue teams in Pokemon Square. "She's not my girlfriend! I found her passed out in Tiny Woods. I don't even know her name!" I was blushing. I hated when he somehow managed to embarrass me. "Good thing she isn't awake or else this would be awkward too." I thought. "Maybe you should take her to Whiscash to find out when she wakes up… If she wakes up." "Ok." I ignored that last part and headed North to Whiscash's pond.
My arms grew tired when I finally reached Whiscash's pond. I tripped and fell forward, dropping the female Charmander. "Oh no!" "Careful child, I've got her." "Thank, God!" I thought. I sighed with relief at the fact that I didn't drop the girl. Whiscash placed her gently on the pedestal surrounded by the pond. "You carried her a long time, I presume?" "Yeah." "I'm also guessing you came to find out who she is?" "Wow. He's like a mind reader!"I thought. "Yeah,… How'd you know?" "I heard Blastoise near the pond." "Oh… you hear it all?" "All of it." I blushed with embarrassment. "I'm sorry Sam, but I've never seen or heard of her. Take her to that open home just out of town. The fire-type home. When she wakes up, bring her back here. I have questions needed to be asked." I nodded and tiredly picked the girl back up again and trudged out of town the fire-type home.
[Blisseraie POV]
My head hurt when I woke up. I had no clue what was going on and I was still dizzy. "Ooh…" When I opened my eyes I was in some home with strange fire decorations. "How did I get here when I was in some forest when I passed out?" I thought. Then, I remembered that Squirtle I met. "He must've brought me here. But why?" I stood up wearily, stepping on a tail... MY tail. "Ow!" . I remembered I was a Charmander. "Well, might as well get used to being a pokemon since I'm going to be one for a while." I sighed as I walked outside the house I was in. Suddenly, I tripped over something heavy on the ground and fell face first. "OOW!"
"OW!... Huh? …. Oh, I'm sorry!" Someone grabbed my arm to help me up. "I-I must've fallen asleep waiting for you to wake up." It was that Squirtle I met. "So he did bring me here." I thought. He was still helping me up. "I'm.. fine." He let go of my arm as I helped myself get up. "My name's Sammy, by the way, but you can call me Sam." "Blisseraie… Bliss for short." "N-nice to meet you, officially." He laughed nervously. I wasn't so comfortable around someone I didn't know so much but,… Sam was an exception since I was still so confused. "Uhm… Whiscash said he'd like to met you. Wants to ask you some questions." Oh.. kay." I followed him into a town East of the house I slept in.
[Sam POV]
I walked Bliss into town so I could take her to Whiscash. She seemed calmer than I expected, but probably because she wanted answers. I saw Blastiose standing near the walkway to Whiscash's pond. He was looking at me. "Great, just great. Bring on the embarrassment…" I thought. I sighed as I tried to speedily get through. "Wait, Sam. Don't walk so fast!" "Oh, look. Sammy-Whammy's little girlfriend finally woke up." I started to blush. "I'm NOT his girlfriend. I'm just a friend." I made a quick glance at her. She seemed so confident yet nervous about that comment while I was blushing like an idiot. "Oh, feisty. Then again, I would expect that from a Charmander." "What is that supposed to mean?" She sounded slightly offened. "Nothing…" She turned back at me. "Now where's this Whiscash who wanted to ask me questions?" "H-he's in that pond over there." I was still blushing, but it went down a bit.
[Blisseraie POV]
I was barely blushing at the sly remark from that,… Blastoise. "Honestly… pokemon are ruder than humans!" I thought. When I looked and Sam he was obviously in the same state I was in, just more embarrassed than me. My blush was gone when we reached the pond Sam was taking me to, oddly, nothing was in the pond. "Uhm,… Sam there's nothing he- GAH!"
Suddenly, a Whiscash appeared before me in the pond, making me jump back into Sam, ( I had no idea he was behind me.) I turned to apologize. "S-sorry… that just gave a s-small heart-attack.." It was true.I Did just have a small heart-attack. "It's fine. Actually, he scared me too." I turned back the Whiscash starring at me. "Hello there. I'm Whiscash. I do believe I've never seen you around. I also presume that Sam told you I had questions to ask, yes" "Yes." I was a little hesitant at answering. Talking to pokemon still freaked me out a bit. "Well, now then, what's your name dear?" "Blissaraie. Just call me Bliss though." My, such a lovely name." I smiled. "Thank you." "Ok, Bliss, where are you from. And what were you doing out in Tiny Woods?" My smiled disappeared slowly. I couldn't remember really why I was here or where I used to live. That bothered me.
"…I-I don't know… I just woke up in these so-called Tiny Woods without any memory but my name and age." "Oh my, well, what is your age?" "16." The Whiscash smiled. "Hoho! That's much of a coincidence! Sam is also 16!" I looked at Sam. "Oh, really?.. huh…" He looked confused. "What?" "Nothing, it's just… I thought you would be… I don't know, 13 or 14 by the way you act." He was blushing, I could tell. "I think I just embarrassed him.." I thought. "Oh, yes. Any one would think that about Sammy. He is quite childish at times." His face grew more red. "W-well…I-I.. uh…. I'm not childish!" Obviously he didn't know what to say. "Whatever you say, Sammy." I giggled a bit. He sighed and bowed his head down in defeat. He must've known he wouldn't win the argument.
"Back to the subject, Bliss… you may have Amnesia. It's rarely common for someone to have it, but maybe if you explore around you might start remembering things." "Ok…" The Whiscash smiled again. "I have an idea! Why don't you join a rescue team! Or, why don't you two form one! It may help your memories to travel in recue missions." I was a bit confused. "Rescue team?" "Yeah!" Sam spoke up, forgetting the acting-your-age argument. "Rescue teams are groups of pokemon that receive resquests to help others that are in danger. If you succeed in your mission, you may get rewards from the pokemon you rescue." "Well, I don't know… I don't think I'm strong enough to battle and rescue other pokemon. Mean what if I get beaten up badly?" "Well that's what you'll have me for! Partner's are supposed to help each other in battle during rescues." I still wasn't so sure about forming a rescue team. I was scared that since I didn't know Sam so much, he might not help me as often as I might need it. Sighing, I agreed with him. "Ok. I'll do it." "Alright! We got us a rescue team!" He seemed a bit over excited, but it was funny. I couldn't help but smile.
"Ok, now that we've agreed on becoming a rescue team… we need a team name." "How about Team Opposites since I'm fire-type and you water-type." "Nah, Sounds a bit weird. Team Firefighters?" "God, no!" "Why not? I think it sounds kinda cool." "It does, but doesn't seem right for us." "How about…" The debate for our team name went on for about 2 hours before we finally came to an agreement.
"I give up, I think I'm starting to have second thoughts about this whole rescue team idea now…" "I most certainly agree.." I sat down and looked at Sam. His eyes looked like the color of mist. That gave me an idea. "Team Blazing Mist…" "Huh?" I stood up triumphantly. "Team Blazing Mist! That's it! That's our team name! Team Blazing Mist!" I shouted happily. Sam smiled at me. "Hey, yeah, that sounds like a perfect name. I like it!" I put my hands on my sides, looking slightly up. I looked like an idiot, but I didn't care. "Team Blazing Mist, ready to rescue those in need of help!" I could hear Sam laughing a bit. "What's so funny?" "You sound so cheesy." I smiled and pushed his shoulder.
"Funny,…" I thought. "..how I can be so close to someone I'm so far apart from…"
