Hello everyone, well, I wanted to put up the second chapter, since I had it down. So here you go, I hope you enjoy. Please let me know what you think? Thank you very much.
Chapter 2: Run
I ran, and ran until I realized I had no idea where I was anymore. The territory was very unfamiliar to me. I was upset and I didn't know why my mother sent me away. But I had to listen to her, she was sad but there was nothing I could do. So I tried to calm myself down and just remember the teachings of my mom. This is when I ran into the first of my problems. I ran into a Pokemon who I just happened to step into the territory of. I tried to convince him it was a mistake and I was just passing through. But he wanted to hurt me and so I did what my mom told me and used my attacks. My attacks were so weak, not enough to do much damage, but just enough to distract the Pokemon and get away. I wasn't thinking with reasoning, all I could think of was getting away, hiding, and being safe. My mind never stopped to think just why they did what they did, thoughts just went straight to survival and that anyone in this world will want to hurt me. So for several days and nights, I would find a place that seemed safe enough and sleep there and as soon as I woke up I would be on the move again.
Finding food was rather difficult, the berries were slim picking and to the food that I did find, there were others who were bigger and stronger who violently went for the food. Water was all the more hard, since it seemed like many of the watering holes were close to dry and the ones that were even filled with some water were being guarded or protected by the strong. Anyone who dared drink was risking themselves in getting caught and attacked. Again this world I thought was so cruel. All my thoughts were becoming set in the fact that to live is to fend for yourself and no one was there to help.
I had run so far in the several days with barely any food to satisfy my hunger and water to quench my thirst. This running away proved successful one night as I was able to find a small cave. Not exactly a cave, but a small hole in the mountain that was just the right size for me to fit. A slight glimmer of hope began to well inside of me, if the hole is unoccupied then I can stay there and be safe for the while. So I slowly entered, I looked around and found it was much larger on the inside than it was on the outside. From what I could see, no signs of anything living there, no leaf beds, nothing seemed to be disturbed. This was a good sign, so I went in a little further and I heard a trickle. What was that I wondered? So I went toward the sound and there was another hole, much too small for me to pass, but my arms were the right size to fit through. Since it was so dark and I couldn't see, I placed my arm in the hole and I felt a cold sensation. I knew what that was, it was water, somehow on the other side, there was flowing water, a small waterfall maybe. This spot I deemed perfect since I was able to get a little of what I needed. Now the only thing left was for me to figure out was how to get food.
