Chapter 3
It didn't take Freya long to reach the bridge leading to the cave. There, she saw a blond haired girl in a white dress and wearing a white hat looking frantic.
"Oh no! What should I do? I'm so scared I can't even move", she said as she looked for options to help the nebula creature shivering in fear of the Spearow flying above it.
"What's wrong? Maybe I can help", Freya run up to the girl. She felt bad for the girl and her odd looking Pokémon.
"Oh! Please help Nebby! Those Spearow.. I'm afraid too go out there. My legs feel like jelly right now..", the girl said as she looked on the verge of tears.
"I'll help. Just stay here. That bridge looks like it might collapse", Freya assured her and ran to the creature. She could feel the bridge away with every step she took. With a big inhale and exhale, she finally got to the Pokémon.
"Pew!", it cried and looked at Freya with a frightened look.
Freya got down on her knees and protected the poor thing with her body as a shield. She could feel the talons of the Spearow and the creaking/snapping of the bridge. That made the little nebula creature shiver even more. Freya felt the rope snap and the next second they were falling.
~~~Lillie's Pov~~~
Lillie looked shocked as she saw the girl and Nebby fall. What could she do? She just can't leave. She knew she had to save them but how? All of a sudden, she saw something glow in a yellow light. The light swooped in and saved the girl and Nebby from being drowned in the raveen below. Lillie was grateful for that.
~~~Freya's Pov~~~
With her eyes still closed, Freya expected the worse then nothing. She opened her eyes a little and saw what looked like to be a hummingbird like creature looking back at her. The creature let out a cry before flying off back into the sky.
"Oh.. Oh, thank goodness! You know what happened last time you tried to use your power, Nebby! Nebby..You couldn't move for weeks after that. Oh, I should say that... I know you were trying to save me that one time. I just feel bad I couldn't help you in return", the girl looked at Nebby with a scolding but loving look.
"Pew!", Nebby looked at its companion and focused on the shining object on the ground.
"Wha...What's that? It looks like a sparkling stone. Please forgive me. I'm grateful for your help. I never got your name though", the girl bowed to Freya.
"I'm glad I was of help. My name is Freya and I just moved here", Freya smiled and nodded. So that must have been the deity she heard about. Hala was right. It was fickle but kind to save her and Nebby.
"We should head back to Iki Town. Would you mind walking with me? I still feel nervous. And, Nebby. Get into the bag. It would be troublesome if someone saw you.", the girl said as she saw Nebby jump into her bag.
Freya followed the girl back into town. She still had a bunch of questions but she figured she would get the answers along her journey. With that in mind, she looked at the orange and pinked hued sunset with a smile.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
The boy with blond hair watched the two girls walk while he remained hidden behind the bush. He knew his mission wouldn't be easy.
"That was close. I should have protected them both. I can't let it slide since both Team Skull and that woman could have spies everywhere. Let's go, Null. We have things to do and trainers to vent our anger on", the boy said as he petted his partner and put a hand on his bang covered eye.
Whew! Three chapters! Freya still has questions though. Who does Team Skull work for? What was that Pokémon who saved her? And who is that blond haired boy? You will see in the next chapter
