So, here it is, Chapter 2. Hope you'll like it.


Chrono dozed off and dreamt. He was in a room where he felt like home. There was a blue bed covered with a white sheet on the upper right corner. Right beside it is a study table with a few books on top. In the upper-middle part is a window with a nice view and right to it is a wardrobe. Chrono was in the lower-left corner, near to the door when it suddenly slammed opened, making him jump.

He saw a silhouette of a young boy running towards the bed. The silhouette was heard sobbing and sniffing as he covered himself with the sheet. He walked towards him when he heard his name being called from behind. It was a very calm and gentle voice. He heard the footsteps grow nearer when it passed through Chrono. The other silhouette sat down on the bed as he/she took the sheet gently to uncover the crying past Chrono.

"It wasn't your fault," when the other silhouette said these words, it hit Chrono. He started to remember some bits and pieces and the silhouette is lightening up, he can see it a bit more clearly. The silhouette was her mother.

"I'm s-sorry... mom..." the past Chrono sobbed and sniffed as he wiped his eyes with his hands. "I... never intended..." he went silent with tears rolling down his cheeks while Chrono was eager to know what happened.

Chrono's mom pat him on the head, "Chrono..." she hugged him as she also started to cry. Chrono was left dumbfounded on what he just saw. 'What happened?' is what he thought then suddenly, everything started to fade and Chrono was left in the darkness with his thoughts.

He didn't know what was happening. Why in the world was he crying? He was very deep in his mind when something poked him on his left arm. He glanced but saw nothing so he just shook his head and resumed his thoughts. He was poked again in which he reacted with a martial arts stance facing the direction he was poked at.

"I look stupid doing this," Chrono put his arms down, "after all, this is just my mi-," he paused for a bit before he facepalmed, "stupid, this is just my mind... so... if this is my mind," he raised his head and looked around, "then something must be touching me in the real world...! I need to wake up soo- hngh!" he was stopped when he felt something heavy land on his chest.

Chrono was greeted with sunshine from above and something brown...? on his chest.

"Hello." the creature waved its right paw before jumping off Chrono's chest. "Nice to meet you. My name is Hope. And question, doesn't it hurt to sleep with that bag on your back?" it poked Chrono's bag which was being flattened.

"Hmm? Well, not really," Chrono tried to get upright when his back ached sudddenly, causing him to fall, "I stand... corrected!" He finally got up with a grunt and gave the creature a thumbs up, earning him a laugh.

"Reintroducing myself, I'm Hope. Nice to meet you." Hope extended his paw with a smile.

"My name's Chrono, and likewise," Chrono shook Hope's paw. "Though I'd have liked it more if you, I dunno, didn't drop on my chest?" Chrono replied with a sarcastic voice in which the creature just laughed it off.

"By the way, this is the first time I've seen you before. What Pokemon are you and where are you from?" Hope asked at the now confused human.

"I'm not a Pokemon! I think," Chrono muttered the last two words, "and I don't remember where I'm from actually." he faked a smile as he looked at the ground.

"Oh, you're a human then." Hope smiled at Chrono, "I'm an Eevee in case you don't know." the creature started to walk around, "I've never seen a human before. Big Brother keeps saying that they're bad people but looking at you, I don't think they're bad."

"Thanks for the compliment? Well, I better-" before he was able to stand up, he saw something green come from the other side of the lake in which he was able to avoid. Another one came and hit him on the shoulder while the other wrapped itself on Chrono's waist and lifted him up in the air.

"Filthy human, how dare you trespass here," a voice is heard from the other side of the lake before Chrono was pushed back and slammed towards a nearby tree causing him to grunt. A silhoutte jumped from the other side to where Chrono was as a gust of wind appeared as it landed.

"B-Brother Leaf!" Hope was surprised by the sudden appearance of the tan-colored creature.

"Hope..." Leaf glared at his brother, "What do you think you're doing talking to a human!" he yelled in a somewhat childish manner.

"I never knew he was a human in the first place! You never gave me anything that describes a human other than them being bad!" Hope replied in a childish manner as well.

"But can't you see that he looks different from us?"

"Don't we all look different from each other?"

"Well, yeah but he's clearly very different!"

"Not in my point of view!"

The sibling quarrel carried on while Chrono is just hanging uncomfortably. He watched them with a blank face before he suddenly smiled and laughed slightly which made the two look at him confused. "I'm sorry, it's just that you two look funny fighting like that. By the way, can you put me down? Your Vine Whip is kinda killing me." Chrono nervously asked. The Leafeon had an appearance of shock before his brows crossed and growled.

"Not a chance, human! You think I'm just gonna let you go that easily?" The Leafeon's tone became serious.

"Well, couldn't hurt to try," Chrono just smiled at the creature.

"Brother Leaf, he had amnesia. He doesn't remember anything from the past based on my observations." the once childish Eevee suddenly became serious. Leaf raised an eyebrow at his own brother and slowly put Chrono down.

"If that's true, then he shouldn't have know about 'Vine Whip,'" Leaf glared at Chrono who was trying to free himself from the vines but stopped when he was glared.

"Well," Chrono scratched his cheek, "I remember some parts of my memories when you slammed me at that forest. I dunno if I should thank you or not, even. Though, they're all about Pokemons and nothing about my past," Chrono's frown made the Leafeon think he's telling the truth. "A Leafeon, correct?" He snapped his fingers and smiled.

"Well, yes." Leaf turned to his back, "As of now, I have no proof to execute you. You may roam freely in the forest." he walked away from the two towards the forest and desappeared out of sight.

"It's getting late," Hope's childish voice came back, "I know of a place where you can stay," he looked and smiled at Chrono who smiled back.

"That'd be nice," Chrono replied blankly.

Chrono followed Hope absent-mindedly. After a few minutes, they came across a huge tree. It's trunk and leaves were of emerald color. Light reflected unto it making it glitter like it was real emeralds. The sight was breathtaking as Chrono was left agaped looking at it.

"Wait here," Hope said before he dashed towards a small hole at the bottom of the tree. He came back after a while, holding what seems like a blanket full of his belongings in his mouth.

"A-Are you sure you don't mind? If I'm not mistaken, this is where you're living," Chrono hesitated on accepting Hope's offer now.

"Ih hain, hon hori (It's fine, don't worry)," the Eevee put the blanket down, "I can always go to my brother's house," he assured Chrono but Chrono still felt a bit guilty.

"But," Chrono looked at the hole, "how do I fit in there...?" he nervously asked. Hope looked at the hole, at Chrono, back at the hole, and back at Chrono.

"We still need some time to...," Hope shook his head, "I need you to go a bit far from here," he said at Chrono who was puzzled.

"Why?" Chrono asked.

"It's a secret, c'mon," Hope ushered Chrono a few distance from where they were. After a while, Chrono couldn't see the tree anymore. "Good, now stay here." Hope quickly ran back towards the direction to where the tree was. Chrono wanted to see what they're going to do but he didn't want to upset his friend.

"Friend..." Chrono muttered to himself as he looked up the orange sky. Looks like the sun is setting. About an hour later, the sun has already set and darkness filled the forest. A few moments later, things started glowing on the tree branches, slightly illuminating the forest just enough to be able to see. Chrono was closing his eyes with his back laid down on a tree and his bag beside him before he heard footsteps. He opened his eyes to see that Hope was skipping towards him. He picked up his bag, stood up, and waved it him.

"I'm sorry it took long but it's ready, let's go!" Hope waved his tail to follow and so Chrono did. Once the tree came into view, he saw that the hole nn the tree has gotten bigger, big enough for him to enter, and that vines were hanging on top of it. The vines were long enough to touch the ground and were thick enough to conceal what's inside.

"Woah," Chrono slowly neared the tree before something forcefully took his bag. He struggled to keep it by hugging it to his chest but was of no avail when the green whip took it and he saw the Leafeon and his Vine Whip carrying Chrono's bag.

"Safety purposes," Leaf pushed Chrono inside the hole in which he stumbled down inside.

"O-Oi!" Chrono stood up and and tried to get out but the vines somehow stiffened. The vines, now, were as hard as the tree.

"Just make yourself comfortable, it's not like I'm locking you in there forever. I really would like to but then my little brother wouldn't stop nagging if I do. There's a leaf near there, just press it and it'll illuminate the room. I'm going to inspect your bag and see if it's all clear, see you tomorrow," Leafeon used Quick Attack to not attack but immediately leave the area and back to his home.

"Well, see you tomorrow, Chro-chro," Hope yelled and left.

"H-Hey!? That's it, you're all just going to leave me here?" Chrono puffed his cheeks and just sighed. He looked for the leaf and pressed it, and the room really did illuminate itself. It was actually like a small house compacted in one. On the top-left corner was a wooden bed with leaves, on the top-left corner is a chair and a table with a bowl full of berries. On the lower-right was a wooden sink where a branch constantly drops a a bit of water on a wooden basin, the lower-left was just free space. Chrono was amazed on how something like this is inside a tree.

"So, I guess I'm stuck here. Not like I can go anywhere with this thing blocking the... um..." Chrono stared at the vine-covered hole for a while before saying, "I'll just call it a door. I guess that's the bedroom," he pointed at the area with the bed, "that's the... kitchen, I guess," he pointed at the area with the table and chair, "and that's the... washing area..." he pointed at the wooden sink, "and... where is the comfort room..." he said and then the room began to shake. A door (hole with vines) suddenly appeared at the top-center of the room. Chrono cautiously went and opened the door to see that it was a comfort room.

"Well... I guess that was handy..." he closed the door, "but what is that area..." he eyed the empty area of the room. It was weird how that that wasn't the place for the comfort room but then again, this day has been weird. Chrono yawned and stretched his arms before he decided to go to sleep but first, he grabbed a blue berry and took a bite of it, "Oran Berry," he muttered to himself as he continued eating the whole berry.

He jumped on his bed and laid down on it. It was surpsisingly comfortable, like a thin marshmallow. His mind dozed off on what just happened today, the memories he regained, which only comprised of Pokemon stuff and not past, and the fateful encounter with that Eevee and Leafeon. How will his adventure turn out, he wondered. His eyes were getting heavy and with a smile, he said, "This'll be a fun adventure," and slept.


Meanwhile, at Leaf's house, which was actually just near to the tree Chrono was sleeping, he was checking on the items inside Chrono's bag. "Everything seems fine, none of these are dangerous..." he opened a Pokeball and looked inside it, "nothing... none of those things..." he closed the Pokeball and put it back. He rubbed his eyes with both his paws and yawned, "I guess he's not a threat after all... I guess I should sleep now," he went towards a hole and entered it.

"Hi Brother Leaf!" Hope greeted Leaf loudly but Leaf just stood there with eyes widened.

"What... ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" he yelled at Hope who just rolled around what seems to be the Leafeon's bed.

"Well, since Chrono is using my home, I'm staying here for tonight," Hope replied.

"I thought you were at you were going to stay at one of your friend's house or something!" Leaf seemed pissed.

"I call dibs on this bed, by the way ~" Hope patted the bed he was lying on.

"Don't you ignore me!"

"Zzz... *snore*"

"What the, GET OUT OF MY BED!"
