Everyone in the Pokemon Center stared at the unconscious trainer in shock. Nurse Joy was the first to react, taking Etain with her into the ER in the Pokemon Center. Two trainers that were waiting for their own pokemon called the hospital. One of them took a rag that Nurse Joy had, and applied pressure to the wounds that Kaia had.
The female trainer looked at her travel partner, the trainer that was holding the rag to Kaia's wounds.
"What do you think could have done this?" she asked.
"I don't know," said the male trainer, "I've never seen anything like this before."
All the townspeople in Nacrene were in a buzz. Both trainer and pokemon were in the ER of the hospital and Pokemon Center respectively. What could have caused it? It looked like it could have been a Scyther swarm, but there aren't really any Scyther in Unova. Plus, normally, trainers don't survive Scyther swarms in other regions.
Some people were in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting for the doctor to come out and say what caused the wounds the trainer had. Attacks like these were the reason that the age for Pokemon Trainers in Unova was raised to fifteen instead of ten. Ten year olds were too young to go out into the world to face dangerous wild pokemon like this. Many people complained, getting the League to raise the age as a result.
The light above the doors in the operating room turned off, and the doctor walked out. People in the waiting room got closer to the door and the doctor. They were all waiting for an answer to their question: what had attacked that trainer?
The doctor sighed.
"The trainer was attacked by a group of pawniard," he said, "That's what we can tell from her injuries."
The people in the waiting room started murmuring. How could a group of pawniard be this close to a city? They weren't even supposed to be close to Nacrene at all. And if these pawniard moved from their normal hunting grounds, then what did this mean for other pokemon, especially dangerous pokemon as well as trainers on routes? Would more limits have to be placed on the age for trainers to go out? Or would it even be safe anymore?
The room grew quiet as this settled in. Two Pokemon Rangers, a boy and a girl, got up and looked at each other. They both wore their red uniforms and belts with pokeballs. If something like this was occurring more and more, there needed to be an increase of rangers on the routes, and more officials as well. Things were not looking good.
The two rangers got up and left the needed to be reported right away.
A day later, Kaia woke up to bright white lights and the smell of medicine. She tried to get up, but she found that she couldn't really move. It hurt too much to move. Kaia looked around and took in her surroundings. She was laying in a bed, and the room had two chairs in it. There was a door that looked like it led to a bathroom, and a door on the right side of the room that most likely led outside. On the left side of the room, there were some windows. On one of the walls, there was a whiteboard with notes scribbled in marker, and on the other walls, there were some paintings of flowers.
Kaia looked up at the ceiling. The reason she was feeling so much pain was because of the pawniard and bisharp attack. She got rid of some of the pawniard, and then went to fight the bisharp. She called for Etain to take it on and-Etain! Where was Etain?
Kaia shot up in the bed, wincing terribly from the pain. She had to see if Etain was okay! He couldn't have died, could he?
Kaia shook her head. Her growlithe could not be taken down so easily. There was just no way that could happen.
The trainer tried to get out of the bed when she heard a noise. The door had just opened, and a man wearing a white lab coat walked in. He stopped walking and put his hands in the pockets of his lab coat.
"Already up I see."
Kaia looked at him.
"You really shouldn't move unless you want to reopen your wounds," said the doctor, "That would make you stay here longer than you have to."
"Where am I?"
"In the hospital in Nacrene City. Now, I want you to confirm something for me."
"Where is my growlithe?"
"In the Pokemon Center; he's in treatment like you were. What kind of pokemon attacked you? Was it a group of pawniard and bisharp?"
Kaia slowly nodded, and the doctor looked grim. So it was true that a group of pawniard and bisharp attacked a trainer that probably wasn't that deep into the route. Not many of these occurrences had happened, but the number of dead trainers because of wild pokemon were growing. If this kept going, what would that mean for the region?
The doctor looked grim. This was not good news. He looked at Kaia.
"Stay in bed and get some rest."
"What about my growlithe?" asked Kaia.
The doctor left without saying anything, and closed the door behind him.
"Hey!" yelled Kaia, "I asked you a question!"
The door stayed shut, and a response did not come. Kaia groaned. Now she had nothing to do. She couldn't even reach for Fred. Forget reaching the PokeDex, she didn't even know where it was. Kaia sighed again. She put a hand on her head. Why did this have to end up happening to her? She was fine back in her own home, and now she was in hospitals after wild pokemon came after her. How much did the legendaries hate her? Especially Arceus. It was his fault she was in this mess. Kaia groaned loudly.
Fuck the legendaries.
Alrighty, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, although it is a little short. I'm not really sure how long I'll make these chapters yet, do it'll kind of depend on how I'm feeling.
But don't legendaries screw up everything? They're basically the gods in the pokemon world, and they just do whatever they want, especially in this fic. This might pick up a little more after a few more chapters, so stay tuned for that! I hope you've enjoyed, and I'll see you in the next one!
