There was a loud crash and the girl was startled awake. She sat up abruptly before regretting it as a sharp pain hit her chest. She groaned as a soft, frantic chirping called her attention.

'Chan! Chansey sey!' The egg-like creature was running around, almost in a panic, as it unhooked the bed she was on from the wall. It threw open the door while the girl was still stunned at the creature's agility. Then suddenly, she was moving as the creature -Chansey she grumbled to herself- started pushing her bed out of the room and down a long hall, though the hall was eerily dark.

The girl's heart thumped in her chest as her breath came in rapid, uneven takes. There was what sounded like an explosion to the right and thick, dark clouds of smoke came flooding into the dark hall.

A long, purple snake with a gold band around its throat shot from the smoke, hissing threateningly. Panicked, the girl scrambled from the bed flinching as her movement jostled her injuries. Shaking, she grabbed Chansey's stubby arm and tugged, running in the direction they had come, away from the large serpent.

Adrenaline and fear made her heart race faster as she opened a random door and shoved Chansey inside before following herself. She closed the door behind her before realizing that this room was well lit. The nurse from earlier that day, Joy, along with a black haired boy and ginger haired girl were in the room, grabbing up several red and white balls and putting them on a small machine where they all vanished.

Joy looked to the door and seemed to relax a bit, "Good Chansey. Miss, I know you're injured but would you and Chansey please grab as many pokéballs as possible and put them on the belt? We need to hurry."

Her heart still racing, the girl nodded and shakingly grabbed a couple of the balls from a shelf and placed them on the machine, trying to ignore the odd warmth she felt from them. A few minutes after she started helping, the door buckled inward before being blown off its hinges. Smoke came pouring in as two teens walked into the room. One was a girl with long, crimson hair, and the other a boy with chin length blue hair. Following behind them was the huge snake from before and a large, purple ball thing that appeared to have several craters in it as it hovered a foot or two off the ground.

The ball gave a wheezing cough while the snake hissed, "It took a while to find you," The woman huffed, blue eyes glaring at Joy, "Now, there's no need to fight. Give us the pokémon and we leave you alone."

The girl shuddered and she clutched at the small ball in her hands, having only just picked it up. It grew a little warmer in response, "Never!" She flinched, hissing under her breath as pain shot through her chest again. She looked to the dark haired boy as he stood in front of a small bed, where a battered and bruised yellow rodent lay. A rodent the girl knew the moment she laid eyes on it.

She was willing to help, as she had more than enough knowledge to do so, but she hesitated, having no experience to back it up. The dark haired boy threw a random ball in his hands after, somehow, making it grow larger. It popped open but nothing happened.

Everything was quiet, though the man and woman at the door were snickering, "Some of them are empty. This is the abandoned pokémon section and a few of them have been adopted." Joy said, her voice shaking as Chansey hugged her leg in a futile effort to calm her down.

"Could I help?" The girl asked, a shaking hand still holding tightly to a ball.

"If you know how." The ginger girl sniffed, making the girl twitch as she disliked her tone of voice.

The girl looked to the boy, scooting a little closer, "How to you make them big?" She asked.

He grinned, grabbing another ball from the shelf, "You push a button on the bottom and throw it!" He said, quite loudly. The ball he threw now released a small, brown and tan bird that panicked and flew back into its ball in a flash of red light while the man and woman laughed hysterically.

"Like a stupid little bird will stop us!" The man guffawed.

The girl turned over the ball in her hands before finding a small, almost unseen button on its bottom. She pressed it and the ball grew from the size of a marble to the size of a baseball. It also gained a bit of weight as well.

She threw it, though a bit weakly and in a burst of white light, a large, purple rodent jumped from the ball. It looked around for a moment before squeaking in fear at the large snake before it.

"You can do it!" The girl said, her voice trailing off into a squeak. The rodent looked back at her, seeming to get a little courage as it wasn't alone, "T-try a tackle!"

The rodent nodded and its body glowed a faint, white light before it charged head first into the snake, knocking it a ways back, "That was awesome!" She cheered getting a bit louder and more energetic.

The ginger girl threw a ball, this one coming from the red bag at her feet and from it came a white and orange fish with a sharp horn. It flailed uselessly on the land before the girl, Ginger, growled and recalled it.

The snake, in the distraction had coiled around the purple rodent and begun squeezing, "B-bite it!" She shouted, ingoring Ginger as she fought with the boy. The rodent, wincing from pain, opened its jaws and its sharp teeth shone black before it bit down on the snakes strong hide.

The snake seemed to shriek in pain as it released the rodent, whom gave a squeaky, 'Rat!' of delight at being released.

"I'll help." The girl looked at Joy as she stepped next to her, Chansey in tow, "Hand me that blue pokéball on the shelf." The girl nodded and grabbed it before handing it to the nurse.

The nurse threw that ball and a creature with red feet and a body covered in blue-green tentacles popped from it, "Tie them up Tangela! Vine Whip!" The creature jumped and lashed out, tentacles flying in every direction and tying up the man and woman as well as their creatures.

Meanwhile, she carefully picked up the purple rodent, rubbing its sides in a massaging motion to hopefully sooth any pain of being constricted. The rodent relaxed in her hold as she smiled at it, "Thanks for the help little fella." She mumbled, giving it a gentle hug.

A tap on her uninjured shoulder drew her attention. Joy smiled, "Rattata can stay here but the other pokémon need to be transported still." She nodded, setting down the rodent and handing Joy the ball it came in.

She tucked it in her pocket and they resumed putting balls on the machine's belt while Joy called what was most likely the police.

It had been several hours and the sun was now rising. All the balls had been sent away, save for the one the rodent came in. The man and woman who had attacked had been taken away while their pokémon were sent to a daycare for rehabilitation.

The kids and I were currently sitting in the main room while Joy looked over the cut on my leg, which had started to bleed again. The purple rodent, Rattata it had been called, was laying on my lap during this. Since everything had calmed down, I felt very tired. I vaguely heard Joy saying she'd renew the ID that had been found on me before I fell asleep. My last thought wondering what ID she'd been talking about.
