I'm still trying to get used to the fact that I'm with a talking Chimchar, but now I'm in a crowd of Pokemon ranging from Rattata to Starly. And, of course, they were also talking. I feel out of place, like it's my first day at a new school. I'd better keep my mouth shut about my former human life, because either:
A) They think I'm crazy and reject me
B) They think I'm a trouble-maker and never believe anything I say
"Go and look around the town while I get things ready for you. Don't worry, it's hard to get lost here." Chase told me, before going into a hut that was right next to the gate, presumably his home.
"Home..." I think to myself, remembering my family. I wonder what was happening in the human world right now. Had someone woken up to the ongoing sound of my alarm, only to find my lifeless body in bed? I try not to think about it, and start to wander further into town.
The town was surrounded by a rectangular fence that had two fences on the inside dividing it into thirds. It was built next to a cliff, and there was a mountain just on the opposite side. In the middle row was Chase's hut, along with some other houses. The further into town the huts went, the more effort was put into their structure. Along the back of town was a market, selling all sorts of items. There was even a Kecleon Mart. In the left side of town, there were some more huts and shops, no different from the rest. There weren't many buildings on the right side, and that was because of the cliff. Chase was right, it was even better than the first view.
There was an incredible view of the never-ending sea, and the glimmering woods below. The meadow seemed closer now, and I could notice a glow coming from the centre. I felt drawn to it, like the light that took me out of the darkness. I hear a voice from behind me, making me jump.
"In case you're wondering, that light in the meadow is one of the Light Sources. Lucky for us, this one is still intact. So there aren't as many outlaws. But apart from that, I told you that the view was better, didn't I?"
"Yeah... Yeah you did." I reply, looking into the horizon, thoughts of my family yet again flowing into my mind. What if I never see them again? What if they're mourning my 'death' right now? I blink back some tears, knowing that everyone I care about is sad. Knowing that I never got to say goodbye. The sun starts to set, and Chase and I return to the hut.
Chase's hut had circular outer walls, with a few pots scattered across the floor on the inside, most of the containing berries and such. There was an empty room to the right of the entrance. I guess Chase hasn't found a use for it yet. Once we enter, I see that Chase had prepared a straw bed for me next to his. We settle in as the sunlight fades to darkness. The only source of light is the ember from Chase's backside. There is an awkward silence, which Chase soon breaks.
"I've never actually seen a Pokemon like you around these parts before. Snivy aren't native in this part of the world. I wonder how you got here..."
"Well, I don't know either. And it's probably what I want to know the most right now."
"Just talking about it ain't gonna get us any answers. Let's just sleep and see what we can do about it tomorrow." Chase's flame started to get dimmer and dimmer.
"Good night, Edge." And with that, Chase went to sleep, and the flame was extinguished. I lie on my new bed, thinking about everything. But then I remember something the one of the bandits said before Chase woke me up.
"What about this necklace?" I feel around my neck, and I finally notice it.
The necklace dad gave me followed me here to the Pokemon world.
How? Surly that's not possible. As far as I know, my spirit was removed from my human form and put into the body of a Snivy. Physical objects wouldn't be able to follow me, right? Then I notice that I'm just getting more questions with no answers. I just forget about it, and drift to sleep.
I wake up later, to the sound of a loud beeping noise. My alarm. I look around, and find myself back in the familiar surroundings of my room.
It was just a dream.
