Fenn: ...Uh...
Chapter 10: Hello?
"Josh?"
I silently looked up. Sparks was standing there, offering to help me up. I shook my head, standing up. "You were gone for more than an hour!" Sparks told me. "Everyone was really worried about you! And where's Fenn?" I shook my head. "I-I'll tell you when we get back..." "Ok. Well, let's go, then!" Spark began leading me back to the camp.
"Wait, WHAT?!"
Zor was very surprised. "You asked Fenn something and she ran off?! What did you ask her?!" "Uh... I don't remember..?" "Josh," "Yeah?" "You're a terrible lair." I sighed. "Fine. I'll tell you..."
"..."
Everyone was silent. I had started to cry again. "S-Sorry..." I said, before trying to shake it off. Then, I noticed, no, I sensed somebody behind us. They running towards us. "JUMP!" I yelled, and everyone just looked at me strangely. "I said JUMP!" I yelled, before doing so. Now, everyone else did. Guessing from the lack of sound of Pokemon crashing into Pokemon, and the amount of noise of Pokemon crashing into rock, I guessed that the other Pokemon crashed into the wall. Heh, sucks for them. When we landed on the ground, I turned towards four shadowy Pokemon. "Who are you?!"
"Prepare for trouble, you know who it is!"
"And make it double, we..."
"SHUT UP AND FIGHT!"
Sighing, I looked at the four Pokemon, charging a Thunderbolt, and then releasing it. When it hit them, the explosion caused them to go shooting into the sky. "TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAIN!" But, I didn't notice an explosive at my feet. "AUGH!" I yelled as it activated, throwing me over the walls of the small area, and over a cliff. "JOOOOSH!" I heard Spark and Zor yell.
?, 7:10 AM, Josh's POV
"Ugh..."
I tried to get up, dizzy, but ended up falling back down. "Ow..." My head was swimming. Everything started to spin. 'Fainting...' I thought, as black spots started to appear on my vision. "H-HELP ME..!" My vision was fading. I heard running, a familiar voice. "J-Josh!" I heard rummaging, probably through a bag. Then, something was... sprayed on me..? "It's a good thing you taught me how to do this." My vision started to clear and stop spinning. When it cleared, I saw... Fenn?! "Calm down." She said, rubbing my back. "It's OK." "F-Fenn? B-But... Don't you hate me..?" "Josh, you know that I never break promises." "...Y-Yeah..." Fenn NEVER broke her promises. I knew that. Naturally, she wouldn't forget the promise she made to me at Amp Plains, about three days ago. I smiled. "Thanks..." I hugged her. Smirking, she kissed me on the cheek. I blushed. Smiling, she motioned for me to follow her. I looked sideways at her, before following her.
?, F1, 7:25 AM, Josh's POV
I stared at the seemingly endless staircase before us. "A-Are you sure this is a good i-idea?" I asked Fenn. "It's the quickest way to get up there. Certainly faster than climbing up the mountain again. If I'm right, the others should already be there when we get up there." 'Something doesn't feel right...'
"AAAAAAAAHHH!"
"Whoa! Zap!"
I ran over to where I heard the scream, just in time to catch a... umm... what? That didn't happen? What? I... I was confused. "D-Did you hear that?" I asked Fenn. "Uh... no..?" I looked at her sideways. "What? H-How... Was it just in my head..?" "So, the stairs would take too long, so let's use the ladder." I stared at her. "L-Ladder..?" "Yeah? What wrong, you scared of ladders?" After she saw the look on my face, she said, "Sorry..." "It's OK. And, no, I'm not scared of ladders, I'm scared of the height I could fall from. You KNOW I'm hardly used to this body!" "Oh... Y-Yeah..." I stared at Fenn, then back at the ladder, then at Fenn again, then back at the ladder. 'Well... here goes nothing...' I first ran at the ladder and tried to garb onto the rugs, but because of my four-legged stance, my paws slipped and I fell off it. "Ow..." I whispered as I hit the ground. I immediately got back up, before trying to jump onto the ladder, and bouncing off it, ending with the same result as the last time. "Ow..." "Josh, just try to climb it normally!" Fenn pushed past me, and started to climb up the ladder. Scared, I stared to climb up again, this time trying to follow Fenn's instructions. It actually worked, and, along with me wobbling a little, I was able to climb up it. "Now, we have to make it across to that ladder!" I looked where Fenn was pointing, a ladder on the other side. There were multiple staircases between us and the ladder. I smirked. Smiling, I backflipped off the ladder, landing on the first staircase, before backflipping to the next one, thrice. I landed on the ladder. "Showoff..." Fenn said, before jumping over to me, grabbing onto the rungs under me. 'Let's go...' I started to continue. My paws slipped, and I fell. "HEEEEEELLLLPPPP!" I closed my eyes, screaming. Fenn yelped and grabbed my paw, thrusting it onto the rung under her. I opened one eye. "Thanks, Fenn." I said, placing my other paw on the rung, following Fenn.
Then

slipped...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhh..."
[Pokemon World] Fenn's Cave, 8:20 AM, Josh's POV
"Just wake up..! Please just wake up..."
I stirred, my body lightly shaking as I opened my eyes. "F-Fenn..? Why are we back..?" I looked at her, my vision stopping to spin slowly. "Josh! A-A portal appeared, back when you fell... You fell right into it, and I jumped off the ladder with you..." I stared at her. "Why, though? Aren't Sparks, Violet and Eevee going t-" Crash! I turned in the direction of the noise, before facepawing. "Speak of the devil..." Sparks, Violet, Eevee, Spark, and Zor all had gotten teleported here. "Ow... How the heck did we even get h- Where is here?!" I opened my mouth to say something, but instead got an idea. I fished around in my bag, pulling out an object, before activating a switch on the object, typing in some numbers, and walking to the back corner of the room, the device next to my ear.
