First the necklace, now physical wounds? This makes no sense! There is no way that could happen. This body is probably in a different galaxy for all I know, but wounds still follow me? Things aren't getting easier for me. I'm finding questions everyday and I can't get any answers for them. It's all so confusing. I sit up, and cover my eyes from the glimmering sunlight coming through the window. I wonder what time it is... The door opens, letting more of the blinding sunlight in. After getting used to it, I see Chase standing in the doorway, holding yet another sheet in his hands.

"You're finally awake! It's almost mid-day, ya know?" Mid-day? Wow. Wait a second, it was almost mid-night when I went to sleep in the human world... That must mean time is opposite here, like the other side of the world.

"W-Why didn't you wake me up then?" I ask, to see what he has to say.

"I tried to, but you wouldn't get up! I thought that you were still recovering from the battle yesterday, so I went to- Oh, right! I forgot to show you!" Chase walks up to me, and gives me the sheet. I read through, but this time, I don't know what it is. All I can tell is that it's got something to do with our Rescue team, but it doesn't say that we've been accepted.

"They want to see if we have what it takes. See that slip attached to the sheet?" I look through again, this time noticing a slip that is indeed attached to the paper.

"It's a Rescue Job offer. Once we complete it, we send the reward back to them. Once they receive it, they'll know that we can correctly preform a rescue and accept us as a Rescue Team!" This is new. In Red and Blue Rescue Team, all you had to do was send a form or something (even though you don't see it in the game, it's just what I assume) and then you could go on Rescue missions. But a trial?

"Wait, we beat Arbok and Scyther, didn't we? Surly that should be enough!" I blurt out, remembering my first battle.

"Yeah, but we have no reward to send to them. No proof, no team. It's just the way it works." I'm slightly disappointed by this, but rules are rules, I guess. I check the slip, to see what the job is.

'Please help! I was walking in the Emerald Woods, when some bandits came out of no-where and attacked me! They took my things and I can't find my way back to Starside Town! Please, whoever is reading this, come help me!
-Phanpy'

"Where are the Emerald Woods?"

"You know the forest surrounding the Light Source? That's the Emerald Woods. It's pretty big, but if Phanpy was smart, It'll be somewhere around the meadow. I just brought some supplies to take with us, so we're all set. You need to check anything before we go?" I shake my head, not knowing what I would need to check in the first place.

"All right, then. Let's go!"

The Emerald Woods was kind of what I expected.
Of, course, it was a Mystery Dungeon. But it wasn't just a narrow corridor of trees. It was like a regular forest. And there weren't any stair rising into the sky, it was just a continues path. This made sense. I can only imagine a forest with different layers going on top of each other. Like a building. This is what made the game a bit stupid. But this is no game. Also, you wouldn't be able to see other Pokémon coming from a distance. Every attack was a surprise. Sure, we've got a few scratches so far, but it's nothing like the battle with Arbok and Scyther.

"We should be getting close to the Rainbow Meadow. Hopefully Phanpy is nearby." Chase says. He sounds worried in a way. If Phanpy wasn't near the meadow, we'd have to search the entire forest to look for it. And with the size of this place, we'd be back at Starside town sometime tomorrow. I hear rustling, and spin around to see if anything is there.

"...You hear that, Chase?" I ask.

"Hear wha- Wah!" I turn round again, to see Chase surrounded by a group of Paras. They prepare a Fury Cutter.

"Get down!" I shout out to Chase as I swing my Vine Whip at the Paras. He crouches down and my attack hits the heads of all the wild Pokémon. They go sprawling to the ground. Chase gets back up and finishes some of them off with Ember, whilst I tackle the rest unconscious.

"That was close... Come on, I think I can see the Light Source up ahead!" And with that, Chase starts to run ahead. I follow after, the sunlight giving me a boost. I almost instantly overtake him and reach the meadow first. And it was amazing. There were roses, tulips, and sunflowers all lined up in a perfect circle. The flowers become richer as they go closer to the centre. And, in the middle of the beauty, was the huge ball of light. The Light Source. It must be twice the size of me. A path cuts through the meadow and leads to the Light Source, so I start to walk up to it. Halfway down, I hear Chase call out to me.

"E-Edge! What are you doing? Get back here!" What was it? Was he being attacked? I turn round once again, but Chase is just standing there, signalling for me to come back. I rush back down the path, and ask him what was wrong.

"You can't go near the Light Source! It's a village rule! You see, the meadow around the Light Source is a holy area. The villagers believe that if you get too close to it, you'll disrupt it's activity and throw to local area into havoc!" Oh... I'm glad Chase stopped me. I wouldn't want to be the source of trouble around here.

"H-Hey! Are you an Rescue Team?" I hear a voice cry out. Chase starts to look around, and sees something in the trees.

"Hey, it's Phanpy!"

Upon returning to Starside Town, Phanpy gave us the same reward that was written on the slip, and went off the it's home. Chase was literally beaming with happiness. And he should be. His dream was finally coming true. Without another word, Chase took off for the Pelipper Post Office with the reward. I then notice that the sun is setting once again. I make my way to the cliff so I can witness the marvellous sunset once more. I traverse the village, and arrive just in time. The sun starts to set behind the mountains, casting shadows upon the Emerald Woods, the Light Source illuminating the Rainbow Meadow. The last glimps of sunlight makes the ocean sparkle. And then,
darkness. I stay where I am for a few moments, looking into the Light Source. I always get a strange feeling when I look at it. And going close to it like I did during the mission made me feel wonderful. But in a strange way. I look at some of the scratches that I also obtained during the mission. I guess these were going to show through in the human world too. Then I realise something.
What happens if I die here?
Do I just wake up in the human world and I can never go back? Or do I die in both worlds? Seeing that wounds follow me from one body to the next, it might be that I die in both worlds. I'd better be careful, then. Don't want to screw everything up. My life has change pretty quickly over the past three days. I've learned to deal with pain, I made a friend, and I'm looking out for others. And for once in my life, I feel like I belong somewhere. I belong here. If the choice ever arises, I'm sure I'd stay here with Chase. I get up, and start to wonder back to the hut, with that one question stuck in my mind again...

Why was I brought here?
