Ok. At first this was included in the first chapter. But I figured out that it made it way too long!
Enjoy this chappy and please give your opinion. I would like that :3

Route 29 was a fairly easy road until Cherrygrove City. Both Dyllan and Pichu were rather exited to be there together. The thing that excited the young trainer the most was watching the few trainers in the area. They were new, no doubt, most of them were trying to capture their very first Pokémon like Rattata or Sentret. She hoped to watch some of them battle, but she regrettably she had no time for that.
"Let's see..." Dyllan looked up the road ahead of her. "I think we have to go up here, then turn left and it's a straight walk to Cherrygrove," she eyed the little Pichu and smiled. "I'm guessing a two hour walk."
The yellow Pokémon laughed at the girl's poor physical resistance.
The two kept walking and after a while Dyllan felt somewhat disappointed that not even one wild Pokémon had tried to approach them. She had secretly wished to use Pichu in battle. For such a little guy he sure did ok in battle. She had actually used him once last year against a young trainer who wanted to test a new Pokémon he had just captured – A Weedle if her memory wasn't mistaken.
Sure it wasn't a powerful Pokémon, but still, it lost so easily to Pichu. Dyllan knew his moves well to know what to use in battle. In fact, her specialty really was Pokémon moves. She practically knew what each and every Pokémon out there could learn and she was also well familiar with type advantages and disadvantages. But despite all this, she clearly lacked battle experience.
At some point, Pichu leaped from her shoulder to the ground and began walking ahead of her. The two were reaching a gate that lead to route 46. It was commonly heard that different type of Pokémon lived beyond that gate, Pokémon a bit harder to raise, but since many aspiring trainers liked challenges, it was a frequently visited place.
Dyllan then noticed Pichu had come to a sudden stop. He had a serious almost worried face in him, ears twitching occasionally.
Dyllan stared ahead, but saw nothing. "Why are you stopping? We still have a lot to walk."
Pichu paid her no mind, rushing to climb a nearby tree, running to one of the branches. He placed a hand above his eyes, staring into the horizon for quite a while – his ears seemed to be in alert as well. All of a sudden his complexion changed, becoming a very scared one. He jumped to the ground yelling at Dyllan and pointing ahead of them.
Dyllan looked, becoming alarmed when her feet felt the ground shaking. She became nervous, and when her eyes finally saw what Pichu had already seen – she felt her soul leaving her body.
"What is that?" she yelled. "They're huge!"
A group of Tauros ran in their direction on a rampage. They didn't seem to make any intentions to stop any time soon. Pichu began running with Dyllan following promptly behind. The Tauros were fast and they soon caught up with Dylan and Pichu. When they realized they were in the middle of the stampede; Dylan yelled at Pichu in panic.
"Pichu! Jump to my arms!"
Pichu didn't seem to have heard her and kept running. The little Pokémon then looked back, noticing that the Tauros were just above his shoulder. Scared, Pichu charged his energy and unleashed it on some of the Tauros. The Tauros stopped for a moment, trying to recompose from the shock. Pichu and Dylan took advantage of the opportunity and continued running. The Tauros stared at them and with anger and frustration; they charged after them, only this time, their intentions were really to hurt them.
Dylan didn't know where they were going, but she had to find a way out, and fast. Dylan saw that they were running on a wide field, perfect for the Tauros to get them; she yelled at Pichu to turn right to cross a small wood in order to get away from the stampede. They did so and when they got there; Dylan also noticed that it was a dead end. They were on the top of a cliff and there was no other way to get out of there. Pichu turned around, but the Tauros had found them. Pichu stepped back to Dylan's legs. Dylan knew that they were in high critical position, but a decision had to be made.
"Do we even have a chance at fighting all of them?" she asked, feeling her hearth beat heavily. "I don't know what to do..."
Pichu backed even further away when hearing her words. He did not want to fight them. He knew his limits, defeating all of the Tauros was an impossible task to ask of him. But to their further misfortune, as Pichu was backing away, he failed to notice the edge of the cliff. He slipped and fell. Dyllan let out a panicked yell, not thinking, she jumped right after Pichu, managing to reach him and protect him in her arms.
The Tauros approached the cliff hearing their screams, but after a short wile they were gone. There was no river down there, just rock hard soil. What had happened was pretty clear for the raging Pokémon. The Tauros turned around and left the place.
The cliff was very high and there was no water running in that area, only hard soil. A few meters away from the high mountain were Dylan and Pichu. Pichu was between Dylan's arms; she had tried to protect him. Their bodies were motionless and there was no sign of breath. They were dead. Her first attempt at an adventure had ended that way; she should've had predicted. After all, there had to be a reason for her parents to prevent her from having one.
Silence covered the dusty air, but a light breeze was felt. Small whirlwinds were raised out of no where, quickly picking up sand. A shadow came from between the storm. It approached Dylan and Pichu with its red shinny eyes. It was tall and revealed to be white. It examined both the Pokémon and the Human. A white light surrounded the creature and it lowered his head touching Dylan and Pichu. A flash of light covered both of them. When it was gone, so was the mysterious creature. Pichu moved his ears and slowly opened his eyes, to see Dylan in front of him. She was breathing to his relief. What a crazy human she was… Still she tried to protect him from the fall. Pichu got up and looked around him; he needed to find help quickly. He heard the sound of a motorcycle and ran to the road. He saw a woman in a blue uniform riding the bike and caught her attention. The woman stopped her bike and stared at the panicked Pichu. She decided to follow him and soon came across Dylan.
"Oh my!" She ran up to the girl. "What happened?"
The Officer picked Dyllan up and went to the bike, placing Dylan in the passenger's side. Pichu hopped up and the Officer set way for the nearest hospital. The Officer exceeded the speed limit and quickly got to the hospital of Cherrygrove taking Dylan into their good hands. At that point Dylan opened her eyes and saw Pichu on top of her; she also saw some people in white around her and then she passed out.
A younger Dylan sat in front of a television watching her favorite cartoon. But despite this, she didn't seem happy, on the contrary, she was pouting and seemed slightly angry. She watched from the corner of her eye an older teen placing things inside a large bag. She made a grumpy sound and continued watching the cartoon. The teen, a tall boy, laughed at her. He calmly approached her side, placing a comforting hand on her head. He said a few unheard words that Dyllan seemed not to like, for she ignored him and seemed even angrier. The boy sighed, rubbing her head one last time before returning to his packing duty. Dyllan once again watched him with the corner of her eye, only, there was sadness in them.
"ah!"
Dylan got up with her heart beating fast; she was sweating. After a while of trying to calm herself down; she laid down again in the white bed that she was in.
"Hate these memories..." she murmured to herself.
The young girl stared at the ceiling and with a jump got up after realizing that it wasn't the one from her house. She looked around her and saw a big window at her right. The room was simple; it had a complicated machine near her, a table on her left side and a sofa in front of her. Dylan spotted lights glowing from the window, so she got up and went to the window. It was night and she founded herself in a City. She saw some cars moving around in the pacific roads. Not many buildings in that area. After spotting some familiar things, Dylan could only conclude that she was in Cherrygrove City; there was no other city or village between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove. She remembered running with Pichu from the Tauros and that they had jumped from a cliff. Dylan looked at herself; she had her ankle wrapped up with white soft material. She knew that she had to be in a Hospital, but she couldn't quite remember how she had gotten there. She turned to her bead and spotted a yellow ball near her pillow. She smiled knowing that it was Pichu and got relieved knowing that he wasn't harmed. Dylan jumped to her bead and observed the sleepy fluffy yellow Pokémon.
It was a different Pichu from the regular ones. It had more fur and a scar across his left eye. The scar had the shape of a thunder and its fur was messy. The little Pokémon sighed and rolled around once. Dylan pulled the sheets to her and the Pokémon. She laid her head in the pillow and slept with a soft smile on her face.
yeah it's smaller than the previous one. Things will be revealed little by little :) I promise to explain the Tauros in the future!
