HotXbun: I am sorry that it has been over five months since I last updated! I was working on other stories!

Welcome to day twelve of my four year anniversary extravaganza! Today is all about Pokémon!

Five chapters! Halfway to ten! A woo woo!

Ai is going to save that girl in this chapter (hence the same of it).

Chapter 5 Saving Nebby

Ai's POV

I don't know what happened. It's like something snapped in me when I saw the girl about to faint.

As if my feet had a mind of their own...I ran up to and caught her.

I put her down on the ground.

"Are you okay", I asked.

"I'm fine", the girl replied. "But please save Nebby!"

"I'm on it", I stated before getting up. "Stay here!"

With that I went onto the bridge.

It was so wobbly that it took me a whole five minutes to get to Nebby!

When I did I covered him and started waving the Spearow away.

"Shoo, shoo", I said before looking at Nebby. "It's okay Nebby. I'm here."

Then...something happened.

Nebby...shot at weird blue energy!

And when he did...the bridge broke...and we started falling!

"Ahhhhh!"

Thankfully...just before we hit the water...we were saved by another Pokémon. [My Journey Through Alola Extra: Another Pokémon?]

The other Pokémon put me on the ground.

I stared at it...then it left.

What was that?

I turned to face the girl...who grabbed Nebby out of my hands.

She hugged him close to her.

"Oh thank goodness", she said. "Don't scare me like that Nebby! You tried using your power again...didn't you? Oh Nebby. You know what happened last time you used it. You couldn't move for ages after that. I don't want to see you like that again!"

The Pokémon flinched at that...making the girl look guilty.

"I...shouldn't have said that", she stated. "I'm sorry Nebby. I know you were trying to save me that time, and I couldn't even help you in return."

Before anything else could happen...Nebby seemed to notice something.

He moved up to it.

"What", the girl said in confusion. "What is that?"

With that the girl picked the thing up.

"A sparkling stone? It feels almost warm somehow."

The girl then seemed to remember me and got up and looked at me.

"Please forgive me", she apologized. "I am so grateful to you for helping us out of that dangerous spot."

"You're welcome", I said before holding out my hand. "I'm Ai Hato. What's your name?"

The girl didn't answer. She just held out her hand.

"I think this stone belongs to you."

With that the girl gave me the stone and I put it in my bag for safe keeping.

"Please", she said. "Don't tell anyone about this. About seeing Nebby. It's...it's a secret, ok?"

"Okay", I said in confusion. "But...why do I need to keep it a secret?"

"Because", the girl started. "Nebby could be in danger if anybody found out. Some bad people want him, and I can't let them get him."

"Who wants him", I asked.

"Please", the girl pleaded. "Just don't say anything!"

"Okay", I said in defeat. "I won't tell anyone. I promise."

With that the girl sighed in relief.

"Thank you", she said.

She then faced Nebby.

"Come on", she commanded. "Into the bag Nebby."

With that Nebby did as told.

The girl started walking away...but ended up stopping and turning around.

"Um...", she started. "I'm worried we might get attacked again by some wild Pokémon, or...or something. I know it's too much for me to ask it, but...do you think you could see us back to town?"

HotXbun: So...that happened.

Challenge: Tell me who you think the girl is.

My Answer: If you've played Pokémon Sun then you'll know. If not...then I'm not telling!
