Author's Note: Well guys i'd like to say merry christmas, but i don't know your culture. I know i said i wouldn't be adding anything until after christmas break but i have some free time and descided to make a new chapter. Now 3 thing i have to say: 1, i need a new title any ideas? 2, I'm going to try some first person in this chapter if you don't like please say so. And finally, I DON'T OWN POKEMON OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY BE COMPY RIGHTED IN THIS STORY.

Chapter 3: A New Face

Oww my head. I slowly tried to get up when a pain shoot through me. I looked down and noticed my right arm was in a sling and my upper body was covered in bandages. I looked around in the room i was in. It was small. The only really noticable things were the starnge device hanging from the ceiling and the closed mindow to my right. Okay..got to think...what happened to me.... But before i could think saw a human sleeping in a chair to my left. What the...who is this and why is he here. I closed my eyes and concentrated. His aura was a bright orange with a small tint of other colors in the center. Wait... i thought that people only had one color for there aura. Then out of nowhere, the human rose his head. "Oh you're awake," he said with a caring tone, "I'm glad you okay i thought i was to late."

To late? "Whe..Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the hearthome pokemon center," he explained, "I found you beat and broken in the woods near my school." He paused. "I couldn't just leave you so I picked you up and rushed right over here."

Wait..What? But before i could continue, a woman with pink hair and a nurse's outfit walked in. "Oh," she said with a surprised look on her face, "I glad she's awake...John since you brought her here you can take her when ever you want and don't worry about her injuries, they'll heal quickly.
"Thanks for the help." he said.

She smiled, " Don't mention it."

"Well," he said as he got up, " Do you want to go?"

I looked around again and nodded. He slowly helped me out of the bed i was in and openned the door for me. We walked down the hallway and entered and large room with benches everywhere, escalators going up, and the same nurse from before standing behind a counter. 'Okay you two, she said, "Stay safe!" She waved goodbye and so did the human next to me. Thats when i noticed it. Whats that smell...where is it coming from. I know it ha dto be a pokemon but there was no other around. As we walked out of the centre, the smell was still there. Where is it coming...from. I Looked up at the human next to me. I took a wiff and knew it was coming from him.

XxXxXxX

As we walked down the street I heard a large intake of breath next to me. I Looked at the lucario next to me which now had a questioning look on her face. "Whats wrong?" I asked.

She stared for a few more seconds before asking, "Wha...What are you?" I gulped. Oh no...this isn't good..got to think of an excuse...

"What do you mean...I'm human" i nervously said.

She glare at me. "The why do you have the sent of a pokemon?" she asked with a sturn look on here face.

"Well I...I work at the local gym...I-I'm always around pokemon." I said wiht a fake smile on my face. I Hope she buys it....

"Oh well that makes sense." she stated. That...That was to close. We continued walking for sometime until we reached the forest. She turned to me with a sad look. "I never did thank you did I?"

Oh..ya oh well no need to thank me i just hate to see a fellow pok..." I Stopped myself.

"A fellow WHAT?" she shouted. This is just great...now look at what you've done.

"A uh a...fellow person sorry i have a lot on my mind and i get confused a lot." I Lied.

"FIne... But really thank you for saving me." She said.

"No problem." I said, "But how did you end up like that?"

She froze. She just stood there with fear in her eyes. I slowly walked towards her and she just stood there. Then he paw slowly rose and was pointing behind me, I turned and saw that same kind from school. He was strolling down the sidewalk until he noticed me and the lucario. "HEY!" he screamed and ran at us holding a pokeball in hand. The lucario quickly snuck behind me and started shaking uncontrollably. 'Thats MY pokemon you have there!"

"Oh really," I said, "Well she doesn't look to happy to see you and how come i found in the forest bleeding to death."

"Well thats because she ran before i could catch her," he said, "And nows my chance." He through the pokeball into the air and a Nidoking landed on the ground. I looked behind me and saw the still shivering lucario look up to me with pleadin eyes.

I grinned and looked back at the boy and his nidoking. "I'm sorry but that not going to happen." I stated.

"Well then," he stated, " Nidoking use Giga impact!"

Oh no. The nidoking charged at full speed. I just stood there ready to take the blow when suddenly the pokemon was stopped in it's tracks. As i looked up, it had a blue aura surrounding it. The nido was thrashing trying to break free but was then smashed into the ground by and unkown force. I looked around and noticed a gardevoir across the street. "Liz!" I shouted.

She nodded and said, "Why are you always getting into trouble over pokemon John?" just as she finished the nidoking turned red as the trainer returned it and ran off. Liz slowly made her way across the street. "Well hello there you must be the one John here was protecting." She stuck out her hand to shake the lucario's, "My names Liz whats your's?"

"G-Grace...' She said nervously. She looked at the gardevoir's gesture and mimiced it. Liz grabbed her hand and slowly shook it. "T-Thank you for saving us."

"No problem..Now where would you like to go?" Liz asked. I looked at Grace and she just pointed towards a small clearing in the woods. "Okay then...Why don't we learn a bit more about each other." Grace smiled and nodded. I followed the two to the clearing and we sat down in a circle.

XxXA few hours laterXxX

After some time, Grace and Liz looked at me said at the same time, "Well how about you." I looked at them oddly. Liz new plenty about me, but i don't know if i should say anything to Grace. Everything around me started to fade the last thing i heard was Liz Saying 'JOHN!'

I was now surrounded by darkness again. The flames reappeared. "Well, this is a predicament." Said I.

"He's just nervous leave him be." Said C.

"Ya," Said H, "You know how he gets when people start asking about him."

"Guys...Can i just go back now?" I asked.

Then the darkness faded and i was looking into the sky. I got up and saw to very concerned faced staring at me. Grace was on my left and Liz on my right. "Are you alright?" Grace asked.

"He'll be fine this happens all the time." Liz stated. "He just sensitive about his past."

"Oh," Grace said with a sad tone, " I'm sorry i didn't mean-" The I cut her off.

"No no no it's alright." I stated, "I'm just tired its getting late anyway...and besides shouldn't you be heading back to the school Grace?"

She shoot up after i said that and quickly said, "Od you're right, well it was nice meeting you Grace i hope to see you again!" She ran off in the direction of the school and left me and Grace. We sat there in total silence before she talked.

"Well you have an interesting friends there." She said softly.

"Ya but i really should go.." i trailed off.

"Oh i understand, but really." The she did something unexpected, she gave me a light kiss on the cheek. " Thank you for protecting me." The she ran off into the woods leaving me with a slight blush and a head full of questions.

Well thats it. Just a few more thing before i go i know this chapter is kind of...sloppy...I'm not right in my head at the moment and i'm sorry. From now on though, the chaptes will be between 1300-3000 words or so just to help me out a bit. I will no longer be stating when John's eyes change colors either, if you want you can infer on what they are at the time by how he acts and such. I dont have anyone editing either so if there are any mistakes i'm sorry.

Once again i'm sorry for the most likely crappy and rushed chapter but i felt bad not updating at least once this week.

This is Raziel Beyon and i hope you had a wonderful holiday :)
