"Please…don't leave me..."
Erika nudged the sleeping girl. "Natsume, wake up!"
The psychic opened her eyes slowly. As soon as her vision came back into focus, she jumped. "Oh! E-Erika...I..you...?" The grass gym leader chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Not that I could if I wanted to. We're still stranded, if you recall." Her hair was pulled back into a small bun, and she seemed to be in high spirits as usual. She handed Natsume a coconut bowl. "Here, it's some edible fruits Gloom and I found near the edge of the forest. But we better find some other kinds of food to eat, or else…"
Natsume grumbled. "Or else we'll get sick of eating stupid plants." Erika giggled. "Actually that might also be true, but we'll also probably get a severe case of diarrhea!"
Natsume handed the bowl back to Erika. "No thank you, plant woman."
Erika pushed the bowl back. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find something else to eat, maybe we can get some more fish. And there's also several herbal remedies for diarrhea…"
"Ok, shut up about the diarrhea!" muttered Natsume. "I'm eating!"
Erika laughed again. "Bon appetite!" She got up and walked to the other side of their cave. Natsume watched her out of the corner of her eye. Erika came back, holding an bluish-green flat object. "Look what I found this morning when I was getting that fruit."
Natsume sniffed. "So? It looks like an eggshell." Erika shook her head. "It's not just any eggshell. Look at the size of this thing!! And it's just a small piece of a much bigger egg! But do you know what it means?"
"It means an omelet for lunch?"
"Oh come on, Natsume, stop being so sarcastic. Don't you remember the eggs I told you before? It means that they've hatched! Our island is now inhabited by babies of these giant Pokémon!"
Natsume finished eating and stoop up, brushing herself off as she did so. "I still don't see why this is supposed to interest me." Erika tugged the hair band out of her hair, allowing her hair to fall down freely around her face. "But...what if they aren't friendly? What if they eat...people??"
"That's crazy, no Pokémon on earth eats people. Look Erika, can you stop bothering me? I have other things to worry about right now." She started to leave, but suddenly she sensed something very disturbing. She turned around to look at Erika.
"I understand, Natsume. I bet you have to think about a lot of important things." A tear rolled down her cheek and she ran past Natsume, out of the cave. The psychic watched her with concern. "She's going into the forest again…"
A voice in her head interrupted her. "Follow her."
Alakazam nudged her with a spoon. "Go on."
"Stay out of this. You need to remember your place." She replied.
Her Pokémon lowered his head in submission. "I'm sorry, you're right."
"Damn straight. If I had any sense I'd have put a collar on you t- AAH!" she yelled as Alakazam head-butted her out of the cave.
He sighed heavily in her mind. "It's for your own good..." he said, as he put a barrier around the cave and teleported her to Erika.
Erika nudged the sleeping girl. "Natsume, wake up!"
