Sorry that I just keep adding stuff to this intro, but this is a Pokemon fic, um.. I guess you would have found that out sooner or later anyway, huh? Um, its also got some romance in it.. so don't say I didn't warn you. That sounds dire, doesn't it? But really, it's not. Okay,I'll shut up now. Okay, so I changed my mind..

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, of course. Um, the only part of this that was my original ideas where the people in it.. and the town. The rest of it belongs to whoever owns Pokemon. Don't sue.


Boom! The explosion was all Lilly heard to signal that something was amiss. Her immediate reaction was to gaze out of the small window about the sink in the kitchen, blinking dubiously when she saw no sign of explosion. She had just been sitting there, getting ready for work with a cup of coffee when the noise sounded.

Running out of her front door her jewel green eyes scanned the horizon in a quick sweep, immediately spotting the column of smoke that gave idea to the location of the problem. There was no moment of decision, just a straight dash for the fenced in section of her yard. Releasing a sharp whistle on the way to the fence she summoned her faithful companion, a large and stunning Rapidash.

"No time to explain, Flare," She spoke as she flipped the gate to the enclosure open and watched the fire type dash from the opening as she snapped the gate shut once more. Vaulting to the fire horses back quickly, the Rapidash stood hesitantly, unsure of Lilly's desired direction, sensing the urgency and tension in her rider.

"See the smoke, Flare? We're headed that way, and I don't think I need to tell you its serious. You heard it too, right?" Lilly smiled as much as the situation would allow and gave Flare a gentle reassuring rub along her long neck. Then they were off, dashing into the woods that surrounded her modest, two story home.

Lilly bent in close to the dashing Pokemon, quite used to this process, she had to become streamline, as not to slow the creature down. She sighed inwardly and wondered what kind of mess they would happen upon at the sight of the explosion. She left navigation completely to Flare, as she knew this land as well as Lilly did, and Lilly trusted her completely. Glancing up every few seconds to check the location of the column of smoke was all she did to keep track of their location.

Within moments her streamline friend had delivered them to their destination. The horse pulled to an uneasy stop at the sight of a small crater in the earth, apparently caused from the explosion. Lilly carefully jumped down, landing agilely on the charred grass below her. Quickly pulling her windswept red hair from her eyes and tyeing it back with a hair tie that always hung at her wrist, she began to scan the area, doing a quick damage assessment. That was when she first spotted him.

Her eyes caught on a spot of gold, then when she looked back to see what it was she realized that it was not gold, but blond. Someones hair. There was someone laying on the other side of the crater in the ground.

"Damn.. Come on Flare!" Was all she said before taking off at a run around the side of the hole in the ground, dropping to her knees at the side of the ailing human being, completely forgotten was the impeccable work suit she was wearing. It was a boy, she realized, he couldn't have been more than twenty years old. He appeared to have been knocked out by the blast. Lilly immediately felt for a pulse, then sat back for a moment in relief when she found one. It was strong and steady. Next she just had to figure out what to do with the boy. Well, her immediate reaction was to call an ambulance, but that would have to wait, as there was a more pressing problem above her.

Above her head floated a hot air balloon. As she peered at it curiously she realized that this was no recreational balloon. Someone leaned out of the dark blue basket that matched the dark blue balloon, seeming to check the damage themselves. Flare appeared at her side instantly, as if sensing the imminent threat.

"Flare.. Keep an eye on that balloon, I have to see if I can wake him up." Lilly spoke in undertones, though she knew no one as far away as the balloon could hear her. She looked back down at the boy who lay unconscious, and realized that waking him would be unnecessary. This was because his eyes were opening on his. A pair of dazed and foggy looking blue eyes peered up at her in a state of confusion.

"Don't try to ask questions, buddy."Lilly spoke quickly, silencing him before he spoke. "I need you up and on your feet, alright? Do you think that you can ride?" She gestured up to the Rapidash that he now stared at in dismay, still lying on the ground.

Then all protest to the horse died when he spotted the balloon. He seemed to come to quickly at that sight. Immediately he attempted to stand, only to fall back from the dizziness of a head rush at an attempt made too fast.

"You really don't like the people in that balloon, huh?" Lilly smiled despite the situation. With a sigh she slipped an arm under his back, helping him to his feet. "Now the hard part. You have to get up there. I can give you a boost, but the rest is up to you. Do you think you can handle it?" She laughed at the nervous once over that the boy gave Flare. " Well I guess it doesn't matter really, since you don't have a choice, unless you want to stay here with balloon dude?" With that Lilly vaulted up onto Flares back once more, extending her hand to help pull him up.

The boy looked up at the balloon and shook his head, still dizzy and a bit dazed. He reach out and clasped her hand, using her surprising strength to help him climb onto the fire horse in front of her. His eyes immediately strayed up to the balloon, grimacing slightly. "Um, miss, we better get moving, I'm sure that wasn't the only explosive he has up there."

"Right. Sorry for the extra weight, Flare, but its an emergency." And with that the Rapidash took off for home, escaping the immenent danger that was represented by the apparent enemy in the balloon.


Um.. Its me again. this is an odd place to end, I know, but I want to know what you think before I submit the next part.. Okay?
