I woke up to sunlight through the door, Thank goodness, that night dragged on for way too long, I walked out, and Pikachu came up to me.
"Hey Eevee, Did you sleep well? I thought I heard something from your place, what happened?" Pikachu then asked me.
I tried to think of a good way to explain it, but all I could think about was what Eevee said before he disappeared, "Now, you cannot tell anyone about this, not even your name.", So I just said "No, I think your ears might have just been messing with you".
"Uh no, I'm pretty sure I heard what I heard, what happened?" He then asked.
Darn it, He's onto me, "I… I can explain some other time, but not right now." I said, knowing that he would forget about it.
"Fair enough, Anyways, we should prob-" He began to say, but a Butterfree suddenly approached us out of nowhere.
"Please! You must help! My poor Caterpie fell into a cavern! A huge fissure opened in the ground, and Caterpie! I tried to help him, but all of the pokemon attacked me! I can't deal with them! Please! You must hurry!" Butterfree said.
"Oh, about time you got here, took about a day of delay, you usually appear and ask for help near the time I-" Pikachu was saying, but i knew we were inching way too close to the fourth wall, so I moved my tail up to his face, in a attempt to make him stop talking, but I guess I somehow did a good job, as he stopped in the middle of his sentence.
"What Pikachu meant to say is that we'd be happy to help you!" I then said.
"Thank you so much! He fell in around the area of the Tiny Woods! I'll just stay around this area for now." Butterfree then said.
On the way there, Pikachu said "By the way, You did a pretty good job at moving your tail like that to prevent me from breaking the fourth wall any further, How did you do it so well?"
"I've… just been practicing, not sure how useful it would be, as i think the only move that would be able to utilize it is Iron Tail, And even then, I don't even know that move, and it doesn't help that it would take forever to get used to as like I said, I was once human, so it would be hard to get used to performing moves like a Pokemon." I then said.
"By the way, what Eeveelution would you be planning to evolve to? When we get to that point." Pikachu then asked
"Um… I'll… think about that." I then said. I… can't, since this is not my own body, and seeing that Eevee might not like being evolved into a Eeveelution, not to mention the fact that i might choose one that Eevee hates… I don't know…
"Fair enough, The entrance to Tiny Woods is right here anyways." Pikachu then points out.
"Whoever thought of the name "Tiny Woods" should be fired, because that already looks pretty large to me, even just from the entrance." I said. "Say, before you met me… what did you do?" I then asked
"I… I don't want to talk about it." Pikachu responded with.
"But… why?" I asked.
"I said, I don't want to talk about it." Pikachu said a bit angrily, while also looking a bit sad, like he was gonna cry. I never saw him like this, and i only had met him yesterday, I think he was thinking about his past, almost like he was… but before i could finish my thought, he interrupted me saying "Hey um, shouldn't we go in already? This chapter is already going a bit too long, and we haven't even gone in to rescue Caterpie."
"Right, sorry, I guess we got distracted" I then said, as we started to head in.
"Hey um… Pikachu… sorry if I sound awkward asking this, but… I was thinking... How are all of these fellow pokemon… be able to talk in english? I don't see how it would be possible…" I asked Pikachu after we went through the entrance.
"Well… We… aren't actually talking in the human language, we're just talking in a way pokemon normally do, and you are able to understand us as you are a Eevee right this moment. So if a human does actually come to this world while not transformed… then they would not be able to understand us." Pikachu explained.
"Oh… Well… That makes sense, I guess, I'm just still trying to get used to all of this." I then said.
"Anyways, the stairs are right here, we should probably get going… Caterpie is probably very scared." Pikachu said.
We headed down the stairs, and luckily, stairs were right after those stairs as well, soon enough, we were right at the final set of stairs. "Alright! About time, now, lets go rescue Cater-" I was saying, but a Sandslash jumped in front of us out of nowhere!
"What? A Sandslash? In Tiny Woods? That's… Impossible! And more importantly… I can't fight it off!" Pikachu panicked
"Wait, What do you mean?" I asked.
"Don't you know the type weaknesses? Ground is super effective against electric." Pikachu responded with. "And normally, Ground types usually never appear in a place like Tiny Woods!"
"Oh, I forgot! Well, we need to fig-" I was saying, but that Sandslash attacked Pikachu while his guard was down. "PIKACHU!"
"I'll be fine! I can just eat a oran berry! But you must fight him off! Use one of your moves!" Pikachu said.
"But… I don't know how to use my moves!" I said.
"Well… Just bash into him, Tackle, if you will! Just do something!" Pikachu said while panicking.
"Alright… I'll try… HIYAH!" I said, as I ran into Sandslash, I felt my tail begin to harden up, and i jumped up while spinning, and hit Sandslash by the tail, which sent Sandslash flying towards the wall. "Did I just… Iron Tail?" I said, while confused.
"Yes! You did! And you managed to defeat Sandslash!" Pikachu said excitedly.
"Well… I did… but we can't just leave him here, I know he tried to faint us, but he doesn't deserve this…" I said.
"Well… I agree, Let me check the tool box…" Pikachu said. He checked the tool box, and found an extra oran berry. "Well… I found this, I'll try giving it to him…" Pikachu then said, He held the oran berry near the Sandslash's nose, and when they sniffed it, they opened their mouth, allowing Pikachu to put it in their mouth.
"Ugh… Huh? What am I doing here?" The Sandslash said after waking up.
"You… were confused and went crazy because of one of the fissures, and attempted to faint us, you're welcome…" Pikachu said.
"Wow… Thank you… I'm sorry about that… I'll just head out now." The Sandslash replied, as he went up the stairs we came down.
"Well, Now that we have that taken care of, Let's go rescue Caterpie." I said, as we went down the stairs.
We got down to the bottom of the stairs, and found a Caterpie on the other side of this small cave. "Don't worry Caterpie! We're here to rescue you! Butterfree is waiting!" I said.
"You are? Thank you so much!" Caterpie replied, as Pikachu picked him up.
We left the dungeon, and found Butterfree still waiting at my shack. "You found him! Thank you so much! I know this isn't much, but thank you so much!" Butterfree said, while handing us 500 gold coins, and then left with Caterpie.
"That is Poke, the currency of our world." Pikachu said. "Well, we should probably get some sleep, it's already starting to get late, see ya!" Pikachu said, as he headed off to his house. I went ahead and got into bed a few minutes after he left, and fell asleep.
