The chilled air swirled around me as I sprinted towards the road. Only fifty more feet and I'd be out of the woods; another thirty and I'd be relatively safe on the road.
The trees groaned as I dashed past them. I yelped and ducked as a branch hit my shoulder swinging unnaturally fast. The tree turned to face me and fixed it's hellish purple eyes on me as I stumbled away. I straightened myself, but when I turned to run the other spectral tree had caught up and was waiting for me. Trapped between two strange and dangerous pokemon with nowhere to run, I finally gave in and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
As I laid on the ground gasping for breath, I thought about all the plans that I had made, all the people I met. Who knew it would all end right here? Killed and forgotten in the woods by a couple of strange unknown pokemon that aren't even native to the region.
I remembered all the promises I had made to my pokemon, my parents, my friends. I'll stay safe... I won't die... I'll beat the league... We'll defeat the Champion... together...
The ghostly tree leaned over me as I was lost in my thoughts. I saw it bring its branch back and prepare to drop it on my head.
I'm sorry it had to end this way.
The ghost attacked.
