Chapter 3

"How can I possibly be lost?" Andraia asked, walking around in a forest.

She found nothing familiar. She felt like she had been walking in circles for hours. Metapod sat on her shoulder, cooing softly.

" I've been here hundreds of times...But I guess I've never gone to Pewter City before..." she sighed.

As she walked, she heard a distant howl. It sounded like it was in pain! She listened for the sound again. It came, much softer than before. She looked around, before deciding on a path. She took off at a fast paced walk to find the sound. To her surprise, she found a small cabin.

"Who would live here?" she asked herself.

A soft whine came from inside. Andraia stepped forward and looked in a window. Inside, she saw a woman wrapping bandages around her arms to cover the burns on them. Andraia gasped in shock. On the floor, a little ways from the woman, was a badly wounded Flareon.

"I have to do something! That Flareon is badly hurt!" she gasped, trying to come up with a plan.

After standing there for several minutes, she decided what she was going to do. She took a deep breath and walked barged into the house.

"Sorry, I'm kinda lost and I was wondering if you could give me directions." she announced.

"Go away!" the woman growled, "You're trespassing!"

"I'm sorry." Andraia apologized, " I'm just wondering where to go- What happened to your arms!"

"Nothing! Leave!" the woman commanded.

The Flareon let off a soft whine and struggled to get up. The woman growled and struck the Flareon with her arm.

"Hey!" Andraia cried, grabbing the woman's arm, "You can't do that!"

"Watch me! This mutt has been nothing, but trouble!" the woman told her, jerking her arm away.

"Beating pokemon is wrong! I'm going to take that Flareon to a Pokemon Center!" Andraia told her.

"To hell you are! She belongs to me!" the woman growled.

"She'll die if she stays with you!" Andraia retorted, feeling confident.

" Fine! You want her! You'll have to battle me for her!" the woman challenged.

Andraia's eyes widened. She had never actually battled anyone before. And she only had Metapod. Metapod cooed and hopped off Andraia's shoulder.

"Metapod?" she asked.

"Hah! Like that bug could win a battle!" the woman laughed, "Krabby, go!"

The small crab appeared in front of Metapod, who didn't look fazed. The Krabby lept into the air, heading straight for Andraia! Andraia let out a cry and brought her arms up to block the crab. But she was never hit! She opened her eyes to see that Metapod had jumped in front of her.

"Metapod!" she cried.

He had been cut open! Andraia felt tears well up in her eyes. She had just gotten him! She just couldn't lose him now! But to her surprise, a light blue Butterfree came out of the cut.

"Butterfree?" she asked, confused.

"EEEEEE." the Butterfree called, sprinkling a powder over the Krabby.

The Krabby's eyes began to droop, and soon it was asleep. The woman cried out in anger, and returned Krabby to its pokeball.

"Take Flareon and go." she growled, looking away.

"How do I get to Pewter City?" Andraia asked, placing the weak Flareon into a pokeball.

"Take the path heading straight from here." the woman said, walking away.

Andraia nodded and walked out of the house. She followed the path and reached Pewter City in no time. She walked into a Pokemon Center and handed the Flareon to the Nurse Joy that was on duty. While waiting for her pokemon to be healed, Andraia soon realized that she had no where to stay for the night!

A/N: My cousin actually wrote this chapter for me. I thought she did really well for only being 15! Chapter 4 soon to be up
