Chapter 9
Several days followed like this:Ryan would go with Lizzy to try and find her, and at night, Kirlia would continue Lizzy's training. Then one day...
"It's time," said Kirlia one night, "For you to learn how to go into a dream on your own."
"Really?"said Lizzy, you could probably imagine that she was happy about this news after being stuck as a Vulpix for three weeks, "This is great! Now I'm one step closer to tell Ryan!"
"Tell him what?" said a voice from somewhere.
Lizzy stumbled over her paws, "Who said that?" she yelled.
A small figure walked from behind the bushes. As it stepped into the small light from the fire you could see that it was...
Pikachu, "I asked you to tell me what you wanted to tell him."
Lizzy started, "You must be hearing things! Because-"
"Don't, 'you must be hearing things' me! I think you'll expect that I can hear things very well,"snapped Pikachu
"What's...*yawn*...what's going on?" said a very tired sounding voice.
"*Sigh*, Vulpix, you can come out."said Pikachu.
The tired Vulpix stepped out of the same bushes that Pikachu stepped out of.
Kirlia said, "Well, you see..." said Kirlia, not knowing how to finish her sentence.
Lizzy sighed, "Will you believe anything that I say in the next thirty seconds and not talk back or say that I am a liar or a psycho?"
"As long as you tell us the truth," said Pikachu.
"Okay. I'm not a Pokemon. I'm a human being."
"But-" started Pikachu.
"I'm not done. Well, I was from another world. Not here, from a place called Earth. And on Earth, Pokemon was just a TV show."
"Believe it or not, I can believe that." mumbled Pikachu.
"What was that?" asked Lizzy.
"Okay. Well, you see. Ash and I know about Earth. A man somehow came here from there. It was a total accident. He met Ash and asked us where he was. Ash told him the whole story and was surprised that he didn't know about Pokemon, and then he came with us. It was sort of complicated from there on out but, he somehow got back to Earth, and he apparently wrote about us and put us into a TV show. But you might think that I'm crazy, but I think that I see him sometimes."
"That must be how he still knows so much about you!" said Lizzy.
"Not only that, but I think that we might have just found a way to get you home Lizzy," said Kirlia.
"Did you just say Lizzy? Isn't that the girl that Ryan is looking for? But then, that means, that your..."said Pikachu.
"You got it!" said Lizzy, "And I am not happy about it." Lizzy looked down and tears began to well up in her eyes. Then they started pouring out, "Mom, dad, and my annoying little brother David too! They're probably all out looking for me everywhere! I just want to see them one more time!"
"Sssssshhhhhh! Lizzy! You have to be quiet!"
Lizzy's tears started to stop flowing down as hard, then they stopped altogether.
"Everything is going to be okay," said Pikachu.
"*Sniff* You're right! Everything will be-"
Lizzy stopped in the middle of her sentence. Her eyes opened wide. Then she closed them Really tight, "Stop it! Please! Stop it! It hurts!"
"Lizzy! What's going on?"
Lizzy fell down, "Please! It hurts too much! PLEASE!"
Vulpix woke up totally now. Pikachu yelled, "LIZZY! Tell us what's going on now!"
"I don't know! Quit it! I'm begging you! Help Pikachu!"
Right then, at that very second, Lizzy had passed out.
"Pikachu! Vulpix! Grab onto me!" said Kirlia.
"Why-" started Pikachu.
"JUST DO IT!" screamed Kirlia.
Vulpix grabbed onto one shoulder and Pikachu grabbed onto the other one. Kirlia focused and they immediately traveled into Lizzy's dream.
W-what's going on? Lizzy looked down at her hands. Hands! I must be dreaming again. Lizzy looked around her. It wasn't clear like it normally was. It was totally black. Lizzy started to walk forwards. Then it happened again. Lizzy dropped to her knees.
"Whoever you are, please STOP! It hurts so much!"
Meanwhile, Pikachu, Vulpix, and Kirlia appeared out of nowhere.
"This can't be a dream, it must be a nightmare!" said Vulpix.
"OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!" yelled someone.
"That sounds like Lizzy!" yelled Pikachu. He started to sprint forwards. Kirlia and Vulpix followed him. Pikachu stopped every once and a while to figure out where she was by sound.
Eventually they found a girl clutching her hair at the sides and screaming.
Vulpix ran over to the girl and said, "Are you okay?"
Pikachu said, "Vulpix, she won't be able to understand you."
The girl said, "It hurts Vulpix!"
Pikachu and Vulpix gasped.
"It feels like it's happening all over again!"
"What's happening all over again?" Asked Pikachu.
Suddenly, the pain stopped in Lizzy's body. She figured it out, "Guys, If you see anyone come by, make sure to tell me. Vulpix, go that way. Pikachu, you go that way. And Kirlia, go that way."
Everyone ran in the direction that Lizzy said, and Lizzy stayed put. She closed her eyes. Then she opened them again. Everything looked the same. But she couldn't move an inch. She took a better look at her surroundings. There was the slightest glint of light. Then she felt a bee sting in her back.
At that very same second Pikachu turned around, "Lizzy!" He started to run towards her. Someone just injected her with a needle.
He ran towards her. Then stopped. Should I follow him, or stay with her.
"Pikachu, go."
"But-"started Pikachu.
"I said GO!"
Pikachu got this now and ran towards the strange figure who injected Lizzy.
Lizzy suddenly felt herself changing as she became Vulpix, once again.
It happened again. Lizzy sprinted to the left, where Pikachu disappeared to. She ran faster than she had ever ran as a Vulpix. There appeared to be nothing there, until she ran into something.
"OOOWWW! What the heck?"
She looked ahead of her. There was a handle for a door. She tried to reach up. But she couldn't. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
She looked lower. There was another thing sticking forwards. She put a paw to it. The paw went through. She tumbled forwards into through the wall. When she looked behind her, she could see that it was a pet door!
Okay. Now I definitely can tell that I am being slowly stripped of my humanity.
She sighed and looked forwards...
