A Whole New Journey
Chapter 6: A Dream
"Eli's" Point of View...
It's dark almost like midnight without a moon, I can't see anything. I can't hear anything, when I reach out my hands only touch darkness. Inhaling deeply I scream out into the darkness, the first name I can think of "Mawile! Are you there?!". I don't know why her name came to my mind first, I feel like there's another name I should be screaming. A name I've forgotten, as I try hard to think I hear someone call me..
"Sid, Sid?" I snapped around but all I could see was pitch black darkness. The voice was female I could tell, but who was she talking to? I'm "Eli" right? Not this Sid, as I'm about to open my mouth to call for the voice the ground below me vanishes and I fall. A painful scream echos all around me, screaming "Sid" over and over. I cover my ears as I fall but the voice only seems to grow louder til my head starts pounding, screaming back "I'm not Sid!"
The voice falls silent, and the last words I hear are "You let me die Sid". My eyes snap open as I sit up breathing heavily, my eyes quickly look all over the cave. This cave, It's Mawile's home isn't it? Where is she? As I wonder this I hear soft breathing beside me, looking down I see her. Mawile sleeping with her head on my lap, she was sitting in a small stool leaning against the bed. Her head must have fallen on me when she fell asleep, I sigh heavily and lay back down covering my face with my good forearm. My eyes shut tightly as a single tear escapes my eye and flows down my face onto the bed.
"Who was that?.." I whisper to myself, that voice sounded familiar but there was no way I knew it. Cause it kept calling for someone named Sid, that can't be me right? Right?.. Exhaustion was biting at me in the back of my mind as I could feel the darkness sweeping over me again...
"Eli's" Point of View End...
Mawile's Point of View...
He's awake again, I felt him shoot up but I couldn't bear to open my eyes. I know it's wrong and I'll have to say "Sorry" once he's feeling better but he was talking in his sleep. He called for me at first which brought a soft smile to my face but after that he started to move around in a panic maybe he had a nightmare. I couldn't hear everything he said but a girl's name kept coming up Sydney, is that his mate? No.. cause he said "Who was that?" he couldn't forget his mate right?
I sat up slowly as he fell asleep once more, who was Sydney? A friend? Sister? Mother?..Mate?.. I shook my head rapidly why does the thought of this Sydney being his mate bug me? It's annoying, that name he kept saying it more then my name.. why does it matter? We're friends aren't we? Then why do I like being so close to him? Aaugh! I jumped off the stool landing gently on the cave floor and walked outside onto the soft sand. The sun was setting now, darkness will be coming soon. Maybe I should take a walk to clear my head.
Nodding once as my maw bobs once with me I begin walking down the beach, I wasn't worried about the darkness after all I knew every corner of the island. And "Eli" is sleeping it's best he got some rest shame he doesn't know the move "Rest" like me then he'd be better in no time at all but it's best he doesn't move for awhile. As I think this I hear a voice above me "Mawile? Taking a small stroll?" I look up suddenly at the voice and sigh once.
"Oh Pelipper it's you, good evening!" I answer happily, it was one of the oldest pokemon on the island Pelipper. He was a 40 year old bird who'd often fly to the mainland to bring berries, apricorns, and many other things the island needed. He was also like the father I never had after my own parents disappeared without a trace, and even though he had his own little Wingulls to care for he took me in... "Yes, sorry I'm just lost in thought. I saved a pokemon I've never seen before he's called an "Eli"." Pelipper tilted it's head abit in confusion "Eli?" He said almost like parrot though he was the water bird pokemon, it made me giggle a bit.
"I've never heard of an Eli, maybe he was caught by a human and was given a name" Those words sent a shiver down my spine, a Exploud in the center of the island told me about "Humans" once. He said they forced Pokemon to fight eachother for sport, and even fight eachother cause they were heartless, blood thristy beasts. Worse then the baddest Mightyena, then a thought came to my mind. "Eli" sounded scared when he said this "Sydney's" name. What if she was his human trainer and forced him to fight no wonder he was having a bad dream! Without a thought I blurted out "Pelipper I think Eli had a trainer cause he said someone named Sydney in his sleep he sounded scared!"
Pelipper jumped a bit flapping his wings rapidly in surprise "Then we most protect this Eli from Sydney, they might be looking for him!" I nodded once, I then took off running in the direction of my home. But my small legs didn't carry me that fast, a sudden blur flew past me and landed infront of me. It was Pelipper "Climb on!" he said sounding eager, nodding without a second thought I hopped onto his slightly large back. He wasn't much bigger then me but he flew up without a problem heading for the cave. Don't worry Eli I won't let that evil human take you from me! My face heated up as I rapidly shook my head to clear it, I mean I won't let that human force you to fight anymore! Right?..
Mawile's Point of View End...
Pelipper's Point of View...
I flew with the young Mawile on my back, she seemed to be determined to protect this Eli. No surprise she has always been like a big sister to most pokemon on the island, that's how she's always been since her parents were captured by a trainer. She was too young to remember at the time but I was there, I wanted to help them but I had my little one's to protect as well. I was forced to just watch, the trainer didn't care about Mawile though she was too weak to capture. It was after they were captured I took her in and cared for her as my own as a last wish of her father who was my best friend back then...
Pelipper's Point of View End...
Mawile's Point of View...
As we reached the cave Pelipper landed by the entrance and I slid off running to the cave. Slidding to a stop I sighed once with relief seeing Eli was safe still, the human hadn't taken him yet. As I turned to smile at Pelipper he stood there frozen in place and shaking with concern I asked "What's wrong Pelipper?"
"M-Mawile w-what's a human doing in y-your home?"
