Chapter Seven Sapphire

"The escape"

I'm not sure what happened, but I think the Hypno used some sort of attack on me and I fell asleep. During my sleep I had terrible dreams.

When I awoke I found that my surroundings had changed. This time though I wasn't in a cage. When I tried walking I was jerked back, I yelped.

The thing on my neck was very uncomfortable. I tried gnawing at it, and scratching it off but it stayed. I decided to give up.

I looked around me, the walls were covered with metal, the ground with soft, lush grass and the celing was see-through.

After a couple of minutes of looking around, someone- a female girl- burst through the door. She quickly unchained me and carried me out of the door.

She threw a red and white ball, and a Nidoqueen popped out. Every human we came in tact with, Nidoqueen cleared the way for us.

We finally made it to the end the dark hallway. She opened another door and we were outside. The human kept running 'till we reached a pond.

"Whew. That was quite a workout, eh Nidoqueen?" she laughed

She set me on her lap and removed the thing around my neck.

"MM... Stupid Rocket," she mumbled. "Now let's see."

She inspected it for a moment and then put it in her knapsack.

"Boy, you're an unusual color; did they do this to you?"

I shook my head no.

"Ah, maybe this'll help us understand you."

She reached back into her knapsack and pulled out another of those things.

"Hold still, it's just a translator. It ain't gonna hurt you."

I held still, she put it around my neck, only this time, unlike the other one, I couldn't feel it.

"Now, tell me about you."

I blinked a couple of times before deciding what to do.

"You do know I'm a Pokemon and can't talk, right?" I gasped, I had actually spoken human speech!

She laughed, "Don't act so surprised, I said it was a translator, didn't I?"

"I didn't think these things existed," I stated.

"Well my Mother works at Pokemon Tech. That's why I have a couple of these."

"Oh, Thanks for saving me, but I need to go find my Dad," I told her.

"Whoa, whoa, you won't even let me introduce myself?"

"Fine," I gestured for her to go on.

"I'm Whitney, and you are?" she asked.

"Sapphire. I'm surprised you even asked."

"Well, I'm actually waiting for someone; you think we can stay for a while longer?"

"No." I started walking the way we came.

"You're going back there?!"

"Duh, my papa is over there. I can't just leave him there."

She sighed and gave up. "Alright, but you're not going without me!"

I agreed. We went back to Team Rocket Base.
