Chapter 4

Misty's perspective

After running for a while Misty and to stop to catch her breath. She looked around her. She still hadn't found any other people. Well, no live ones, anyways. The dead ones weren't very helpful. The only they did was heighten Misty's fears. What were those things?

Then, Misty heard a twig crack. She whipped around to see something very strange walking out of the forest. It's head was like that of a bellsprout, except its mouth was full of teeth. It had a long root-like neck and root-like arms. It had a long tail that stood up stiff, and relatively thin legs, with big feet that had 4 claws. It's body shape was like that of an ostrich, and it was glaring at Misty with small, yellow eyes. Misty stared and slowly backed away, but the creature moved with her. It was stalking her.

"Hey!"

Misty and the creature turned to see a teenager waving his hands in the air. But he wasn't yelling at Misty. His eyes were fixed upon the creature stalking her. He looked about 17, with blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. He was tall, and he was wearing nothing but a pair of blue pajama pants, so Misty could clearly see that he was very muscular-he even had six-pack. Misty would definitely say he was hot. The creature opened its mouth and a horrible, high-pitched sound came out, like rusted metal. You know, the sound those old, rusty swingsets make when you swing on them. It ran at the boy, who ran into the jungle. Misty's eyes widened, and she ran after it.

Then, after running in the jungle for a few seconds, Misty heard a loud hissing sound, and then another roar from the creature. She slowly walked towards the sound until she saw what was making it.

The creature was being eaten by another creature which Misty immediately recognized as some sort of mutated velociraptor. It was mostly like a velociraptor, but it was yellow, with red patches on its cheeks, and ears that ended in black, just like a pikachu. It's tail also ended in a sort of lightning bolt. It had grabbed onto the other creature with its claws, and was biting furiously at it. The creature tried to fight, but it was no match. Then, Misty felt a hand on her shoulder and immediately whipped around to see the boy that had saved her standing there, smiling. She let out a sigh of relief and put her hand on her heart, which was now pounding faster than ever.

"You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Sorry," the boy said. "Were you on the boat to?"

"Yeah," Misty said. "I'm Misty. Misty Waterflower."

"I'm Harold," the boy said, holding out a hand, which Misty shook. "Harold Taylor."

Misty nodded.

"Uh, I hope you don't mind me saying," Harold said, "but, you look…great. How old are you?"

"Oh," Misty said, blushing, "uh…15."

"I'm 17," Harold said. "Two years apart. Not that much."

Misty smiled nervously. "So, uh…I guess we'd better get away before those things finish."

"Yeah." Harold walked away, deeper into the jungle, and Misty followed.

"Have you seen the weird plants on this place?"

"Yeah," Misty said. "And the creatures are really weird, too."

"Yup. That was actually the just the second time I almost got eaten."

"Me too," Misty said."

"For me it was some weird giant fish. You?"

"Huge, T-rex-like thing." Misty could hardly believe that she was having an almost casual conversation with a hot 17-year-old guy about an island they were stranded on with dinosaur-like creatures that they had never seen.

"But there's one thing I've noticed," Harold said. "They're all some kind of cross between a dinosaur and a pokémon. Like those things back there. One of them was a cross between a bellsprout and some weird dinosaur (I forget what it's called), and the other was definitely a cross between a pikachu and a velociraptor."

"Yeah," Misty said. "But how the hell did they get here?"

"Well, this island's probably never been discovered before. Or, if it was, nobody got off of it. Maybe the dinosaur's here never went extinct, and they evolved into these things."

"It's possible…" Misty said thoughtfully. Suddenly, Harold grabbed Misty's shoulder, making her jump.

"What are you-"

"Shh!" Harold put his finger to his mouth, signaling Misty to be silent. "You hear that?" He whispered.

Misty listened. Something was walking through the bushes. She could hear twigs snapping and leaves rustling. Then, Harold dived on top of her, knocking them both down. As she fell, Misty saw a orange and black blur jump where she and Harold had just been. She sat up and saw a horrible beast glaring at her and Harold, growling.

It looked like a saber-toothed tiger, but with orange and black stripes, and the same kind of light "mane" and bushy tail that an arcanine had. Harold pulled Misty up.

"Come on!" He ran and Misty ran after him. Her adrenaline was just enough to keep up with him. Harold was a fast runner. Misty heard the beast roar and run after them. She looked backwards to see that it was gaining. There was no way either of them would be able to outrun it.

Then, Misty heard another loud roar and a sort of a whimper. She glanced back and stopped. So did Harold.

The creature was no longer focused on them. It had a wooden spear in its thigh, and was now glaring and growling a freckly-faced, 14-year-old boy. He was wearing a pair of blue boxers and a grey sleeveless shirt. He had grey eyes which weren't actually filled with fear, like Misty and Harold's were. No, his eyes looked curious. In fact, he didn't seem scared at all. Then he did the most amazing thing ever.

He smiled. It was a challenging smile. He actually literally said "Come on, kitty. Come and get me."

The beast roared and ran at the kid, who actually jumped right over it. Then, once he landed, he whipped around, took the spear out, and stabbed the creature again. It let a huge roar and then, fell to the ground, dead. The kid took the spear out and turned to Harold and Misty, still smiling.

"Derek," he said, sticking out his hand. "Derek Redfield. I'm guessing you two were on the boat to?"

Misty and Harold were gaping at Derek. How could he be so confident and…happy?

"Uh...yeah." Misty said, shaking his hand. "I'm Misty Waterflower."

"And I'm Harold Taylor," Harold said, also shaking Derek's hand.

Derek looked down at the now dead beast. "Pretty cool thing. It's a shame I had to kill it."

"A shame!?!" Misty said, unable to believe this. "That thing tried to eat us!"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean he deserved to die. He's an animal. He was hungry, we were food."

"Yeah, I guess…" Misty said. She was actually now starting to see what Derek meant. And the other creatures that attacked her were probably just animals too. They didn't deserve to die either. Then, she remembered something.

"Ash!"

"I beg your pardon?" Harold and Derek said at the same time.

"My friend," Misty said, getting more scared every second. "He was on that boat to. I don't know if…"

"Is this guy your…boyfriend?" Harold and Derek said, again at the same time. Carl was smiling when he asked it. Harold…wasn't.

"No!" Misty said, blushing madly. "He's just…a really good friend!"

"You're blushing. And that's what everyone says. You wouldn't have paused if you didn't have a crush on him."

"Shut up!"

"Well," Derek said, "that doesn't matter. As for the tiger, there's no sense crying over every mistake. What's done is done. Still, it's a pretty cool island, isn't it?" He added, looking around at the trees and plants.

"Pretty cool!?!" Harold and Misty said at the same time.

"Kid, that was the third time I was almost eaten!" Harold said. "This is anything but cool!"

"Really?" Derek said. "That was my second time and I still think it's awesome! I mean, seriously, these are dinosaurs! Or…kind of. Dinosaur-pokémon thingies. Dino-mons. They're sweet! I mean, I met a T-rex! An actually Tyrannosaurus rex! Or, something like one anyways.

"Yeah, me too!" Misty said. "That was one of the things that tried to eat me!" She added, attempting to convince Derek that this place was dangerous.

"Me too!" Derek said, still smiling. So much for that approach. Then, there was a loud screech from the sky. Everyone looked up to see a creature was surely another dino-mon. It was like a pterodactyl, but brown, and the horn on the back of its head was split into five points. It also had 4 different short tails.

"Awesome!" Derek said. "It's a pterodactyl-or fearow-dactyl!"

The pterodactyl, hearing Derek, turned to look at him. Then, it started to dive down towards him.

"Uh…Derek?" Misty said nervously, seeing that Derek wasn't moving.

"Yeah?" He said, still looking up at the fearow-dactyl.

"Aren't…aren't you gonna move?"

"No way! I've always wanted to see what this was like! Though I expect it'll probably hurt the shoulders a bit…"

Misty stared in disbelief as Derek actually let the fearow-dactyl fly down and grab his shoulders with its talons.

"Don't worry!" He yelled as it flew away with him. "It only eats fish!" Misty and Harold stared as the fearow-dactyl flew up and away, Derek in its talons.

After a few seconds Harold said, "I don't know if that kid's brave or insane."

"Usually you can't have one without the other," Misty said. But then she thought of Ash. He wasn't insane at all. But he was definitely the bravest person Misty had ever met. Misty pushed Ash out of her mind-thinking of him only made her fears grow.

Harold nodded. "Well, we can't really save him. Let's go." Harold and Misty continued to walk for a few minutes. Then something fell on Misty. When she saw what it was, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Derek's perspective

"Man, this is a great view!" Derek said as he soared over the island. "I'd probably be able to see my house if I was back home. But I'm not. I'm still trying to figure out whether that's fortunate or unfortunate. What do you think?" He looked up at the fearow-dactyl. It screeched.

"I see. I guess you can't really understand me. Or if you can, you just can't speak English. I dunno. Man, this place is huge! Say, where are we going? Oh, that's right, you can't talk. Hmm…." Derek continued to look around the island. Then he saw where the fearow-dactyl was taking him.

"Hey, a nest! I guess that's the fearow part of you acting up, 'eh?"

The fearow-dactyl screeched again and flew Derek over to the huge nest, dropping him in it. He landed on his feet and started rubbing his shoulders.

"Man, I was right! That does hurt your shoulders!"

"Derek!?!"

"Hmm?" Derek turned around to see a beautiful girl with long blonde hair in a pink nightgown with bright blue eyes staring at him in shock. He smiled.

"Hey Rachel! Pretty cool place, isn't it?"

"It is you!" Rachel ran up and threw her arms around Derek, almost knocking him over. Derek hugged her back.

"Oh my God…" she breathed, still holding him close, "oh my God…Derek, I thought-I was afraid-I thought maybe-you had-you were-you had been-"

"I haven't, I'm not, I wasn't." Derek said simply, pulling out of the hug enough to see Rachel's face. She looked at him with a look he had never seen on her before. He couldn't quite figure it out.

"Derek, there's something I need to tell you," she said, looking into his eyes." Rachel hesitated for a few seconds, then put her hands on his cheeks and pulled his head towards hers. She kissed him so quickly, he hardly had half a second before their lips touched and their tongues were in each other's mouths. After a few seconds, their lips unlocked and they looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you," Rachel said quietly.

Derek raised his eyebrows. "Really?" He said sarcastically. "I thought you put your tongue in my mouth because you only thought of me as a friend!"

Rachel laughed and kissed Derek very lightly on the lips again. Then, she he looked over her shoulder to see someone else in the nest. It was a muscular man with dark skin and long, black hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and sneakers.

"Hey," he said, "I'm Frank. I'm the captain of the boat. Or…was, anyway."

Rachel turned around and blushed. She had apparently forgotten that Frank was there. Derek smiled.

"I'm Derek Redfield," Derek said.

"I know," Frank said. "Rachel here told me all about you."

Derek nodded. He turned around and saw the pterodactyl flying off over the jungle still. He chuckled. "Look at the guy! He's making a little people collection! Hey, looks like he found someone else!"

The fearow-dactyl dived down and came back up a few seconds later with someone else in its talons.

"Here he comes!" Derek said as the fearow-dactyl began to fly back towards the nest. Then, suddenly, there was a deafening roar. Then, a huge Tyranno-zard flew over and grabbed the fearow-dactyl with its teeth. The fearow-dactyl screeched and dropped whoever it was carrying.

"…and there he goes," Derek finished as the T-rex devoured the fearow-dactyl in midair. Then, it turned towards the nest and roared.

"Uh…Derek?" Rachel said as the T-rex flew towards the nest, "Derek, it's flying this way. And, if I remember correctly, T-rex's aren't exactly friendly creatures."

"You remember correctly," Derek said, turning around. "So," he added, clapping his hands together, "either of you ever climbed down a 300-foot-tall tree?"

"No," Frank and Rachel said simultaneously.

"Good," Derek said, "this'll be the first time for all of us!"
