I, of course, woke up to something startling. The caterpie had evolved into a metapod overnight. I morphed back to a human and heard the metapod telling me he would come. Partially because he couldn't move, and partially because we were friends now. I picked him up in my arms and looked out of the hollow to see a beautiful sunrise. Whoa, I was up early. Maybe it was because of me being a stantler overnight, and the stantler's instincts made it wake up early. But then again, it might be all pokemon because metapod was awake when I was. I grabbed my stuff: a small pouch of berries that I bought back at the mart, a spare pair of clothes that couldn't be morphed with, and a pocketknife that fell from a tree and scared the heck out of me yesterday.

We set out in high spirits, but after a while of eating berries (just me because metapod doesn't have a mouth) and going nowhere, we stopped for a break. I wanted food, but I couldn't find any berries or fruit, and I didn't dare hunt pokemon for meat. Metapod couldn't care less about my hunger right now, but my hunger was very, very painful. Eventually, I found some oran berries in a bush and settled on them. And I picked up metapod again and set out once more.

I decided to go through the forest so I could have shade, and I found a pikachu that I acquired the morph to. The pikachu didn't say anything and seemed in a hurry in roughly the same direction I was going, so I followed it. When the pikachu stopped, it was in a circle of darkened dirt, with no trees or grass around. There were other pokemon there; a gengar, medicham, and an ekans, and they were in an argument with a charmander, squirtle, and chikorita. I felt nostalgic about this. The gengar's team was the same as the "Team Meanies" from pokemon mystery dungeon red and blue, and the charmander's team was the same as the team "Go-Getters" in mystery dungeon red and blue as well. And the freaky thing is, this clear, circular area was in those games, too. And it was nowhere near the Kanto region. I was seriously lost. And neither me or metapod knew what to do when they all stopped and looked at us.
