True Friends

Later that day, Krystal and Wilbur continued walking through together. "Trixie is a nice woman," said Krystal. "Yeah," said Wilbur, "She really helped us out of getting out of the forest." "Yep," said Krystal.

The two friends continued walking until they came to a large mountain range, unfamiliar to them. "Krystal," said Wilbur, "Where are we now?" "I don't know," replied Krystal, "I've never been here before. Even though I go walking during my free time." "I think we're far away from where we used to be," said Wilbur.

"Maybe we should take a look around?" suggested Krystal. "Okay," agreed Wilbur. The two friends wandered around the mountain range.

No doubt about it that they became lost again; this time, just the two of them. "Great," said Wilbur, "Now what?" "I have no idea," said Krystal. "Do we go this way or that way?" asked Wilbur, pointing to a fork in the path.

"I don't know where to go now!" Krystal answered, starting to get worried. "Why don't we go that way?" suggested Wilbur, pointing to the left path.

"Okay," Krystal replied. Soon, they walked up to a very high part of the mountains. Unfortunately, they ended up in one of the most dangerous parts of the mountains because the pathways were unstable.

And to matters worse, it was nearly sundown when Krystal and Wilbur reached this part. As a result, the bottom of the mountain range became invisible in darkness.

"I don't know what to do now," said Krystal, who was beginning to get very worried. "Don't worry," said Wilbur, "I won't let anything happen to you." "Thanks," replied Krystal, starting to feel distracted.

However, she was so distracted that she ended up walking to the weakest part of the pathway. "We have to be careful here, though," said Wilbur.

But Krystal was so worried she couldn't pay attention to what she was doing. "I don't know now!" she cried. That's when trouble happened. "Hey, Krystal!" Wilbur shouted, "Watch out!" But it was too late as Krystal stepped on a loose rock, and it broke off and she fell down the cliff.

"Oh no!" cried Wilbur, "Hold on!" He grabbed Krystal's hand as she started to fall; he ended up falling down with her. Pichu and Orville were in shock as their trainers slid down the edge of the cliff.

Luckily, there was a flat piece of rock on the cliff and they both landed on it, stunned, but two Pokemon were both relived that their trainers are safe, but the moment, they couldn't do anything about it. Krystal and Wilbur managed to recover and take a look at the situation they are in. "Are you all right?" asked Wilbur.

"Yes," said Krystal, who was still shocked. "That's a relief," said Wilbur, "We should have been careful." But as he said that, he felt a sharp pain in his left arm. "Wilbur, you're hurt!" exclaimed Krystal.

She could see that Wilbur's left arm had a long bruise. "Don't worry, it's just a bruise," said Wilbur, "But the important thing is that you're okay." "But, you're hurt!" retorted Krystal, "And we're stuck here! It's all because of me! I wasn't paying attention to this place! And now look at where we are now."

The flat piece of rock they landed on was firmly attached to the side of the cliff. It was sturdy, but they were trapped; it was a long way down to the bottom. "It's my fault," said Krystal.

"No," said Wilbur, "It's because of us. We wandered out here without knowing it. Right now, the important thing is that we have to get out of here." Luckily, their Pokemon were still up on the high cliff.

"All right," said Wilbur, "Hey, Orville!" His Pidgey flew down to Wilbur. "Get Freddie, my brother!" said Krystal, "We need his help to get out of here!"

Orville soon flew with Krystal's Pichu and went to find Freddie. Many hours passed. Krystal was doing her best to prevent Wilbur's pain from getting any worse. "Look," Krystal said to Wilbur, "I'm really sorry about all this."

"Look," said Wiblur, "Don't blame yourself. I should have stopped myself from making this choice." Krystal wanted to say something in response, but she didn't. "I think it's best if we wait now," she said at last.

"You're right," replied Wilbur, "That's enough blaming ourselves." "Yes," said Krystal. And she huddled close to Wilbur for comfort. "I'm sorry if it isn't enough," said Krystal, "But I don't want you to hurt yourself even more."

"No problem," said Wilbur, "Besides, my arm isn't hurting anymore. And I like your company." "Thanks," said Krystal, "Right now, we can only wait for help." "Agreed," said Wilbur.

It was almost 11:55, just before midnight, to be precise, when their Pokemon returned with Freddie. "Hey, sister!" he called, "What on Earth are you doing down there?"

"We both fell down here," called Krystal, "Can you help us?" "Why, yes, I can," called Freddie. He grabbed his rope with a hook and hooked it onto a big tree. Then he lowered the rope down for Krystal and Wilbur to reach it.

Wilbur managed to climb up the rope as well with the bruise on his arm. In no time at all, Krystal and Wilbur were both back up onto firm ground. "We got lost again," Krystal told his brother.

"Yes, I know, it's a good thing this Pidgey called me and brought me here," explained Freddie. "Thanks, Freddie and Wilbur," said Krystal. "Next time," said Freddie, seriously, "Pay attention to what you're doing." "Yes," answered Krystal.

"Don't worry," said Wilbur. "Ok," replied Krystal, "But don't push yourself too much now." "All right," said Wilbur, "I'm okay." However, Wilbur could still feel the pain in his left arm.

"Take it easy," said Krystal, who was still worried about Wilbur's bruise. "It will be all right," said Wilbur. "We should get home," suggested Freddie, "It's midnight now and we don't want any ghost Pokemon playing tricks on us now, do we?"

"No," Wilbur and Krystal answered together. Some time later, very, very late, indeed, Krystal, Wilbur and Freddie returned home. Krystal and Wilbur agreed that they are really true friends. But they wished to be more than that.
