Well, here we are again. Yet another chapter of the lives of the characters you may have come to love or hate. But either way, we are bringing it back. I've been away and uninterested in writing for far too long! And so, ladies and gentleman, give you the best chapter I've (probably) ever done! This will be my most detailed and most heartfelt chapter for a long time. Soon, we shall embark on the adventures of the Colana family and all their friends yet again. Lets do this!

Autumn: What's got you so motivated all of a sudden?

No clue! I should be asleep, but i'd rather write while I have this motivation! Besides, I already cracked my knuckles and neck. Can't go back now, not when my motivation is at its peek and I already did that.

Autumn: You and your stupid motivation. You have school in a few hours, get to sleep!

Nope! Not yet!

Autumn: …

-? POV-

Where am I? Why do I feel strange? What's my name? These were the thoughts running through my head as I sat up and rubbed my forehead, trying to ease the headache I felt. I looked around as I rubbed my forehead, looking at the sky, the trees, the land, everything. All around me I could see these weird blue berries, but they didn't look like blueberries I've seen. I could also see oversized caterpillars walking around, chicks pecking at the ground, birds sitting in trees and even walking bags of trash. What the hell was going on? This couldn't be normal… could it? That's when I felt fur on my forehead and not skin from my hand. I stopped rubbing my forehead, looking at my hand, only to realize that it wasn't a hand at all! It was a paw! What had happened to me?! Why were my hands now paws?! Looking down, I saw that my whole body had been covered in fur! Why was I covered in orangish red fur?! This wasn't how I looked before… was it? I can't remember anything… I couldn't remember my past… What was I? Why am I some sort of animal? Why is everything so weird now?

"WHAT'S HAPPENING ANYMORE?!" I cried out, feeling hopelessly lost. I had to find out what happened! There had to be an explanation! Maybe if I travel around a little, I can remember enough to figure things out. I saw a few caterpillars turn toward me, confusion clear on their faces. One of them even started to crawl over to me, making me scoot back a little in fear. I didn't know what these things were capable of, and I didn't want to find out.

"Sir? Why are you yelling? Did something happen?"

I froze as I heard it speak. How the hell could a caterpillar speak? Just what were these abominations? Could the birds speak as well? The trash bags? I was starting to get another headache from all this. There was no way this was real, I refuse to believe it! "Wh-what are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. I didn't want to let my fear show too much, but it was hard not to. These were things I've never seen before, and that frightened me more than I've felt before.

"Me? I'm a Caterpie. I don't know why a Delphox like you would be scared of me. I'm actually quite friendly, unlike my 'friends' over there under the Oran Berry trees." It said, shocking me yet again that it could understand me and answer in such a way. But what the hell is a Caterpie? What is a Delphox? I just keep getting a bigger headache and more questions than answers.

"And what's a Caterpie and Delphox? I've never heard of either of those before. And why are there walking trash bags?" I asked, wanting answers I knew would only give more questions. As long as I could figure something out, though, I'd be just fine. I just wanted answers and a way out of this.

"What do you mean? How could a Delphox not know another Pokemon? And how could you not know your own species?" The Caterpie asked, even more confused now than when it had walked over to me. I guess this wasn't normal, but I didn't even know what a Pokemon was! How was I supposed to know what I was?

"I'm not a Pokemon! I don't even know what the hell a Pokemon is! Where am I? Why am I here? HOW DO I GO BACK TO MY OLD LIFE?!" I ended up yelling, my frustration building again. There had to be an explanation to all of this, and I was determined to find it! I looked at the Caterpie only to notice it stepping back with what looked like fear in it's eyes. "S-sorry, I just don't know what's happening anymore and im confused, sad and mad." I felt like it was my fault that this little guy had gotten scared and I felt like it was only right that I try and fix it.

"It's ok, really! From the sound of it, you don't have anyone to stay with either, but I think a family friend or two might have somewhere you can stay as long as you help out around the place!" He said, shaking his head and removing the fear from his face. I had to admire this guys bravery, especially when it sounds like I could have killed him at any moment if I knew what I was doing. He was even being nice to me after I had just terrified him and didn't have any clue as to who I was. It all got to me and I broke down in tears, hugging the little guy close and muttering that I was sorry and saying thank you over and over. I had no way to thank him, but I would be damned if this little guy had to be on his own!

-time skip of one week, location: Wooden shack in Deadwood Forest-

This past week has been crazy. I've encountered ghost pokemon, more bugs, a lava slug called Magcargo, birds all over and this one pokemon that is apparently called Celebi. I was also told I should be grateful that it showed itself to me. Since I had no name, Caterpies mother, Britany, a pokemon called Butterfree, gave me the name Yuudai. Apparently it means Great Hero. I had helped out around the house, learned how to cook, do laundry and even got to know a few of the family friends, including another legendary known as Giratina. Caterpie told me that if I was lucky, his mom might be able to get Giratina, who's apparently not only a legendary, but a queen as well (the queen of the Reverse World, I was told), and my jaw dropped that I had met a queen without knowing it. She was really nice and even acted like a sort of mother toward me without even knowing who I was or knowing where I came from. I even caught her looking me over, giving a nod once she was done as if she thought of something interesting while she gave me a once over. I guess I'd find out next time they came over, which is normally on Wednesdays, apparently. Currently I was sat in the living room playing with Caterpie, watching as it created shapes with its silk and I had to guess them. It was really fun, but I got them all wrong because I didn't know any of them.

"Hey, Cat, what's keeping you from evolving? You told me sometimes it's certain conditions that can make a pokemon evolve, but I don't understand why you haven't evolved. Aren't you a high enough level?" I asked, using the nickname I had for my surrogate little brother. He had explained a lot to me, from evolution to some pokemon names to what to watch out for. Apparently I was to avoid most humans, which for me seemed a bit redundant since I was a human, only to be reminded that I was a pokemon - A Delphox if I remember what I heard that night. Apparently Caterpie was able to evolve into something called a Metapod which would eventually become a Butterfree like his mother.

As I mentioned this, he stopped mid silk pokemon showing that I must have struck a bad chord with him. I felt terrible as he started to tear up, being very uncomfortable with the topic, but not wanting to hide anything from me. "I… Dad was… he wasn't a good pokemon, and I don't want to become like him. I want to be able to be strong as I can be, but I know that there's so much more I can do if I just let go and evolve." He said, looking up at me with tears flowing down his cheeks. I felt so bad for him and furious that his father could cause something like this. I may not have known the guy, but sitting here holding Caterpie in my arms to conform him, I knew that if I ever saw his father, I wouldn't hold anything back against him.

"It's ok Cat, you're nothing like him. Believe me, even if you evolve, you won't change to be like him, not with how I know you are. You showed kindness to a stranger, something that nobody else did, even if you were scared. You're a good kid, Cat, so don't let thoughts like that hold you back, ok?" I said, trying to be comforting. I wasn't used to doing things like this, so it wasn't easy to think of the words that I should say.

He looked up at me, still sniffling while tears ran down his little cheeks. "D-do you m-mean it?" He asked, as if it was an impossibility that he could be better than his father if he evolved.

"I mean it without any doubt in my mind. You're one of the strongest kids I've ever known, so I know you can do it for sure." I said with conviction making my voice a little louder than I meant it to be. "Cat, I don't really wanna bug you about this, but do you know when Mrs. Colana will be showing up again to let me crash at their place? I know it was supposed to be soon, but I don't remember when exactly." I asked, though I might have been a little too curious, because from the way his face changed, he certainly wasn't happy that I'd be leaving him and his mom alone. We had all grown on each other, that's for sure, but I didn't want to be a burden to anyone and I knew that these two had enough on their plate without me being here to add to it.

"Oh… I think she'll be here in a few minutes. But big bro, do you have to go? Me and mom really love having you here and don't want to see you go! And between you and me, I think mom likes you. Don't tell her I said that though, she just seems a bit happier around you nowadays." He said, giving me a shock that his mom might like me. That was certainly something you didn't hear every day.

"Oh… uh… Well, I'll have to think about staying for a few minutes then if you two enjoy my company so much. If I don't stay though, I don't think you should come with me if what I heard about the Distortion World is true. I don't think a hellish place is a good one for someone like you, especially with how sweet you are and how easy it is to frighten you." I said with a teasing tone. I knew the kid was tough, a lot tougher than he shows, if I might add. If anyone could survive the Distortion World, it was him without a doubt.

As I sat there thinking, Caterpie kept making his silk pokemon, letting me have peace and quiet to focus on making a decision. On one hand, I wanted to stay because I love these two as well like I would my own family. On the other hand, I didn't want to be a burden to him or his mom, especially with their financial situation and the fact that I didn't have any sort of job. In the end, it came down to me leaving so I didn't burden them any more than I already had.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me, you two. It means so much, you have no idea. You gave me shelter when I had done nothing for you, even after scaring little Cat here when we first met because of an outburst I had shortly after waking up. I'll make sure to visit though, don't you worry! This place will always have a piece of my heart because of the two people who sheltered and fed me during the short time I knew them." I said, looking from Butterfree to Caterpie with what I hoped was a loving gaze. I knew that it was either this or risk hurting them even more by basically eating them out of house and home while I didn't have a job. I knew I wanted to at least visit though, so I could keep Caterpie company and catch up with Butterfree once in a while. I turned to Caterpie for what felt like the thousandth time today, reaching out to hug him to me. "Cat, don't you let your fears hold you back, ok? If anything, keep them in mind and use them to remember why you strive to do better and better as you continue to grow. Become a great Butterfree for your mom, ok? I'll come visit once or twice a month so I can see you and your mom to catch up on what's going on with you two. Keep your grades up, do your best to become strong to protect your mom and always try to be happy. I'll see you in a few weeks, kiddo. And Butterfree, thanks for everything. I don't think I'd have this opportunity without you." I said right before I gave her a kiss on the cheek as thanks. The blush that formed was totally worth it though, even as she slapped me for being so daring. What I didn't expect was for her to kiss me on the lips though and to whisper in my ear that she loved me and would wait for my visits. I couldn't help but hug her and tear up a bit, not wanting to leave but knowing that I had to.

"Giratina, i'm ready to go." I choked out, starting to sob now. I didn't feel ready to go, but I knew if I stayed any longer that I'd never leave. I had to do this, otherwise it'd turn out bad in the end.
