'mind speak'

Yellow's POV

Day One on Board

I woke up to something slapping my face lightly.

When my eyes were fully open, I could see Chu in Mew form, hovering in front of me. I think she had been using Double Slap on me.

I then realized I was standing up, and tied to a mast. The mast of a ship, actually. Oh, right. The pirates.

'Yellow, come on!' Chu was talking to me through her mind. She does that. 'People are coming, put this in your back pocket.'

Chu handed me a pair of small scissors, half as long as my hand. I was tied so that my arms could move just slightly, and I managed to put my scissors into my back pocket.

'I will be fine,' I spoke to Chu in my head, 'Come back in three weeks, if something goes awry, I know how to find you.'

Chu gives me one last look of regret, then flies away quickly, disappearing from sight just as a brunette girl comes from a previously unnoticed door in on section of the ship. I now see this is a pretty big ship; I am facing the back of the ship, but it is very wide, at least three meters across. Very clean too.

As the girl approaches, I see she is wearing the uniform shirt and boots, but also a bandana and a long, but thin trench coat. I notice how the bandana, coat, shirt, and boots all are whitish, with a kind of reflective quality. She also has the black silk pants.

"Hello", she says, and I recognize the voice that commanded that Meganium to vine whip me before, "You ran well yesterday."

My face must have held some kind of confusion, because she quickly said, "I mean, most of our targets either can't run very fast, just stand there and let us take them, or hide in some ridiculous spot until we find them."

"Um, thanks I guess," I said, completely bewildered as to why a pirate was congratulating me on how I got kidnapped.

"Oh, my name is Crystal!" The now dubbed Crystal said, "Don't worry, once your family pays the ransom, you'll be off of here in no time!"

"Ransom?" I asked, even more confused.

"Yeah, you know, your family pays us money, and in exchange, we give you back to them."

So pretty much, they kidnapped me, and my dad has to buy me back?

"Oh, and I was told that I can untie you now that we are away from shore," Crystal said, bringing to my attention the fact that land was a strip on the horizon.

I decide to ask a question as she was untying me, "How long was I asleep?"

"Oh, two days", Crystal said nonchalantly.

"That is one strong Sleep Powder", I wasn't even aware I said it out loud until she laughed and said, "That's my Megaree!"

As she finishes untying me, I fall to the ground, just realizing how overworked my legs were, standing up for so long without exercise.

Crystal helps me up, and begins to lead me to the door.

"One moment please", I say as I stretch, "May I please do a few exercises to get my blood flowing?" I may be a tomboy, but I was raised with manners.

"Okay", She said. I take off my socks and boots (remembering the scissors, slipping them into my boots), and begin my routine.

Okay, this is a long filler chapter, but it introduces Crystal. Um, also, I kind of want a show of reviews; does Chu stick around to watch from a distance, or reveal herself?

Thanks!
