I exhausted myself running, but I could not break for long. A short rest to catch my breath and then continue. I decided on that. After a minute, I had continued my running. I normally would not have been able to keep going this far, but fear is a great motivator. Yes, fear that the war will come back to me, trying to grasp at me again and drag me back to that abomination being called a war. After running for a while, I had a strange feeling that something was off. I tried to shake it off, but it would not go away.I had to keep moving, I didn't realise when I was thinking I stopped moving. I had shaken my head and kept running. Now that I think about it, that was when Zano had entered my life.
I didn't meet him, not yet anyway, but he first entered my life around this time. I kept running while I looked around. Something was not right, I knew it earlier, but what it was I still was not sure. I quickly saw what was wrong as Zangoose grabbed my arms and held me back and a Charmeleon was behind him. Something seemed familiar about this, but I shook it off as a story my mom read to me when I was little. The story about how a Charmander that was once human teamed up with some other Pokémon and tried to stop a war, or at least fought in it. What was it called again, Gold... Silver? I certainly remember a Scyther being involved. Parents told the story to get their kids to sleep at night. It made the kids think the war wouldn't or couldn't harm them, but that is not true. The war could have killed everyone. I was captured by those that were likely going to send me back. When I asked what it was about, they confirmed that I was going to be sent back to the battlefield. They might have though I was faking innocence. They must have also thought I was in a different regiment because as far as I know there was another battle nearby.
"NO!" I yelled. I struggled and shouted , fighting against the Zangoose. I nearly lost hope, I nearly gave up until I heard two grunts and a thud. I realised I was not being held anymore. I was freed by someone. I looked around for a second. I saw nobody, however there were a few letters on a single sheet of paper. I didn't know then, but the person gave me directions. "De ueaqd." The single note read. It looked like gibberish, but it was left by the one who saved me. It actually read "Go north" though I didn't know what it read then.
I would have to find out where I needed to go. It would take a while, I knew that as a fact even then. I would not give up until I got to thank whoever saved me. I laugh now that I think of it. If I had known what the letters meant, I would have found it much faster. It took me three days to find it, while now I can find it even if I am put on the other side of the world. I smile now that I remember how foolish I was. I smile as I didn't know what true camaraderie was. I also smile knowing that I was very lucky, extremely lucky certainly.
I still am certain about the lucky circumstance, how I was nearby one who could and would rescue me. from going to fight again. Even luckier how he gave me heavily coded directions to where I needed to go. Luckier still where I could make friends and make plans to end the war at the same time. Bizarre and lucky is a major understatement honestly. Divine interference more likely was the cause. Heh, that is surprisingly accurate actually.

Chapter 2, Pokemon is not mine, blah blah blah, Nintendo has Pokemon's copyrights, you get the picture. I don't want to clog the fiction with these boring messages. I feel I need to add it in though, for safety's sake. Read, review, blah blah blah. Raian (Pronounced Ryan) and Stilio are characters that are mine. I don't own a copyright to them, but PLEASE do not take them as your own, I will review that you are unoriginal and a big fat mean thing. Ask me if you want to put them in one of your fictions, I might say yes, depending on the fiction. It has to have semi-decent quality. It can be in a crack fic but nothing to crazy, crack with plot to be exact. I am kind enough to let you. You could also just ask me if you need some Original Character's, I can create characters easily. Ask if you want to, go for it!
