Chapter VI

Have you ever gotten that feeling where you've done something wrong or your at fault and someone finds out? That feeling of utter defeat, the sinking of the stomach, and aching of the chest? That's how I felt when I looked into the face of the Gardevoir. I held up the small case and held it up to the Gardevoir. For half a second the Gardevoir didn't seem to understand what she was seeing, then her eyes grew wide and her mouth opened to a look of disbelief and fear. Then, she screamed. I didn't think a sound could kill, but, I knew that sound spelled my demise. So, like any sane person I flipped the crate over backwards and away from the crowd and crawled away. Luckily the back of the stage was only about five feet away, however what I didn't expect however was a bright ball of light and energy that blasted me through the curtain that was the back of the stage and into the middle of a group of Pokémon. They all screamed too. I got up and ran, I didn't know where I was going, but, I knew I had to get out of dodge. I ended up running into the woods I ran until I ended up next to a lake and I collapsed onto the shore of it. Gasping for air I drank some water from the lake and lay down on my back. "So, you look tired. You should have a nap." I shot up. In the lake was a Pokémon. A Lapras was in the lake staring at me. I just sat there silently, not knowing what to say. "What," the Lapras said. "Meowth got your tongue?"

"N-no I just don't know what to say. The other Pokémon all seem scared of me," I stuttered. The Lapras seemed shocked, "you can understand me?"

"Yes?"

"That's not possible! No humans can understand Pokémon!"

"Well apparently I can."

"How?"

"That is a secret…"

"Aww, come on tell me."

"No, I can't."

"Well, I'm sure the 'Mon chasing you would be interested to know how."

"That's cold, dude."

"Maybe."

"Fine," I sighed. "I'm from another world. That's how."

The Lapras stared at me for a moment, then started laughing. It was a strange sort of laugh, he seemed to snort when he laughed and every time he did he seemed to have water blow out of his nose. Gross, I thought. "That's a good one," the Lapras said leaning down and wiping a tear out of its eye. "I'm not joking," I stated. The Lapras kinda looked serious for a moment then burst out laughing again. I just had a poker face plastered on me, "I don't have time for this." I got up and started walking away. "Hey wait," the Lapras said. I turned around. "What?"

"I was just kidding man, come back. Let start over."

I sighed and walked back over to him. "Alright fine." The Lapras smiled and said, "my name is Magno Expandit Natans. But, you can call me Mag." I just blinked and said, "really?"

"Yes, really."

"How do you…"

"Get a name like that?"

"Yes."

"It's a different language. It means great swimmer."

"Oh, cool."

"So, what's your name."

"I'm Felix, nice to meet you Mag."

Mag nodded and held out a flipper. I just looked at it, walked up the water, and shook his flipper. "Hey," Mag said. "You wanna do something cool?" I just narrowed my eyes, "yes?" Mag spun around in the water and said, "get on my back." I sort of stood their for a moment and raised an eyebrow, "ok." I hopped up onto Mags back and wrapped my arms around his long neck. Mag smiled and said, "hold on." I just squeezed and held on. Mag swam across the lake quickly, making tight turns. Mag grinned and said, "here, take a breath." I gripped tighter and took a breath as he dove under the water. He swam deeper and deeper into the lake that only got darker, around me I could see different Pokémon swimming around me. I saw a Stunfisk swim past and then a Magikarp. Mag swam deeper until he came to some sort of hole and swam into it, then he swam up and as I began to blow out bubble, my lungs screaming for air, we came up inside some sort of grotto. I coughed and breathed in wet smelling air. I jumped off Mags back and looked around, "What's this?" Mag began submerging himself again as he said, "help. If you were telling the truth that is…"

I just watched as he submerged again and turned around, "welp," I said out loud. "I'm screwed." I started walking through the cave hoping that Mag wasn't just trying to kill me by trapping me down here. Well, I thought. Time to find a way out. I walked along the small tunnel, which seemed to be lit by some kind of glowing green moss, until I walked into an opening. The cave widened into a bigger room that seemed to be lived in. There were chairs, tables, shelves, and even an old couch. The room also seemed to be lit by clumps of the bioluminescent moss compressed into balls and set strategically around the room. "What are you doing here," a voice said from behind me. I spun around and standing behind me was a Charmeleon wearing a dusty green cape and a cowboy hat. "Uh, would you believe me if I said a crazy Lapras named Mag brought me down here," I said skeptically. The Charmeleon pinched the bridge of its snout and sighed, "I knew this would happen on day. Why did he bring you down here… no, better question, how did a human get here?" I shifted my feet and said, "Well, I'm sorta not from… this world?" The Charmeleons look immediately changed, "What did you say," The Charmeleon moved closer to me, "What's your world like?"

"Well, for starters there's no Pokémon or trainers."

"Really? I met someone once from a world of solely Pokémon and no humans."

"Wait, so you've met other people from other worlds!?"

"Yes, I myself often travel, but not to other worlds… not anymore."

"Do you think you could get me home?"

"I don't know. How did you get here?"

"Oh, there was this… oh no! The tube! It's still in Oscars basement!"

"Tube?"

"There's a tube I found, that's how I got here. The tube is how ill get home. It's was just… dead. It needs to be charged."

The Charmeleon lay his hand on my shoulder, "I'll help you get home… forgive my manners I've forgone the formalities. My name is Leon… and you are?"

"Felix."
