"We were in a clearing near the top of them mountain. I noticed a pile of shrubbery, pulled up and arranged like a nest. I saw some bluish-green eggs inside, and they were almost as big as my head! All of a sudden, we heard some loud roaring noises. We ran for it, but when we looked back, there was nothing chasing us. I think we might have accidentally broken into a Pokémon's nest."
Natsume nodded. "That doesn't sound so unusual." Erika lowered her voice even lower and bent towards the other girl.
"It means...there's some BIG Pokémon on this island. We aren't alone...I believe those were the biggest Pokémon eggs I've ever seen in my life. We have to be careful, Natsume. We were lucky before not to have encountered anything dangerous..."
Natsume laughed airily. "Oh come on, Erika, what are you afraid of? You've got me on your side, there's no Pokémon on Earth that can beat my team."
Erika huffed. "You might talk if you were in the Elite Four, maybe. Your gym comes right after mine, you know. And if I remember correctly, Giovanni is the most powerful gym leader, not you."
The Psychic's laugher cut short. "Excuse me, but I have to put restraining collars on my Pokémon so the sissies that flock to challenge me actually stand a chance!"
Erika rolled her eyes. " Restraining collars! Ha! That's a new one!" Natsume's eyes glowed angrily. "It's true!! It keeps them permanently at level 39!"
"Well, all this arguing isn't doing anything!" cried Erika, changing the subject. "We still have no fire, and we still have monsters in the forest!"
Natsume sighed and looked at the ground. "You're right. Let's take care of the fire first, it's more urgent. I'll get my Pokémon to take shifts during the night to watch it. If anything happens up there, one of them will teleport here and alert us." She grabbed a burning stick out of the smoldering, red hot coals on the sand and looked back at Erika. "I'll go light it now, I can't teleport another person. You stay here and take care of the other Pokémon and the cave." She hesitated then closed her eyes to leave.
"Wait! Natsume...it's too dark, I think I should come. It's too dangerous there to go alone." said Erika worriedly. Natsume shook her head. "I'm a big girl now, I think I can handle it." She nodded towards the cave. "You go get some sleep. I'll be back soon."
Erika's eyes were still showing her concern. "If you aren't back in thirty minutes, I'm going after you."
Natsume shrugged. "All right, but it'll take you three times that long just to reach me on foot. But I'll back before then, so stop worrying!" And in a flash of blue light, she was gone. A few chirping noises came from the forest.
Erika sat down on the cool sand, and started counting the seconds.
Natsume nodded. "That doesn't sound so unusual." Erika lowered her voice even lower and bent towards the other girl.
