A/N: Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to myself, happy birthday to me! It's my birthday today (16/7) if you're reading it later, and as a special treat, you get two chapters at once!

Also, since I forgot the disclaimer for the last two chapters, I'll put it here 3 times lel

I don't own Pokémon

I don't own Pokémon

I don't own Pokémon

There! On to the story!

Dan's PoV

I blinked away the sleep from my eyes and immediately remembered something I had forgotten the last time I was conscious. My hands lunged for the belt usually around my waist. Nope. Nothing was there. My precious Sceptilite that Sky gave to me when I was a Grovyle had vanished. I felt like banging my head on the table till I died.

Peaches entered the ward.

"Hello, dear" she said.

"Sceptilite" I managed to whisper.

I did not for one second believe that she had it, and sure enough,

"What?" she asked.

Then I remembered that for mega evolving, you need to have a trainer. This place doesn't have a single trace of human life. I didn't give up though.

"A green stone, with a red and black stripe in the middle." I explained.

"I don't know, someone must have picked it up, you've been here a few weeks now….." she trailed off.

"What? Few weeks?" I exclaimed. I couldn't believe my hearing.

"Yes, anything could have happened by then…." she said sadly.

I tried to stand up, but Peaches stopped me and pointed to the wheelchair.

"Your legs are still broken, but you should really go the mayor and have a talk with him. We don't know where you're from, who you are, or anything about you, for that matter" she said.

"One sec," she said without waiting for a reply, and walked out of the ward.

A giant Aurorus peeked into the door and looked at me.

Without a word, the Aurorus gently lifted me up with Psychic and set me down on the wheelchair. It withdrew its head and left.

Peaches came back in.

"The wheelchairs fully mechanized" she said and proceeded to show me the controls and how to move the wheelchair.

I had never been in a wheelchair before. My legs were really important to me. Without them, a major part of me is gone. Forget my emotional memories with it, even the stats say that a Sceptile's main trait is his speed.

"This is not permanent, right?" I asked nervously.

"Of course not" she said.

"The mayor's assistant is waiting outside the hospital for you" she said.

"Thanks" I said and moved out of the ward.

I managed to find my way outside the hospital. A Glalie was outside, waiting for me.

"I'm the mayor's assistant" he declared.

"All right" I replied.

"Follow me, and try to keep up" he said.

"If only, I could walk" I thought and sighed.

Crystal's PoV

I was walking to school with Derrick, when he suddenly tripped over and fell.

I rushed over to see if anything had happened.

"Ohhhhhh" he groaned.

"Are you okay?" I asked concernedly.

"How did I even fall?" he asked me, turning over to belly side up to face me.

"You are pretty clumsy, you know" I said, shaking my head and trying to wipe the smile of my face. He tried to push me, but I jumped away. Then he said.

"Aha!" and grabbed a tiny spherical stone.

"I tripped over this small thing?!" he said in amazement.

"How did it not shatter?" I asked, now looking at the tiny glass-like looking ball.

It had a kinda light green coloration, with a red and black stripe running down the middle.

"It may be really precious!" he speculated.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt hanging on to it for now…" I said carefully.

"Ok, we don't wanna be late for school" he said and got up and started walking again.

"Right" I said and started walking as well.

Dan's PoV

The mayor's manor was huge. It was the size of the Ever Grande Pokémon League. It kinda looked like it too. I didn't realize that the Glalie had stopped, and kept moving towards the League, sorry- Manor. I suddenly bumped into something hard- and cold.

"Sorry!" I apologized before seeing who I actually hit.

"No problem, I'm Reginald, the mayor of this town" the wall of ice said.

I looked up and let an involuntary gasp- I had literally run into the mayor!

The mayor was fine with me running into him. "No problem" he said. Accidents happen all the time. He led me to his living room and plopped himself on a couch.

"So, you're name is Dan, is it?" he asked.

"Yes, sir." I said.

He turned to face me. I suppose if he had eyebrows, he would have raised one of them, but I wasn't even sure if those yellow dots are his eyes.

"Where did you come from?"

I shifted nervously.

"I mean, you were obviously Sky Dropped or something, and judging by the singed you landed, you must have fought a Charizard, or a Talonflame, or a Pokémon like that." He said.

I did not want to lie to his face.

"We-e-e-l, it's complicated" I managed to say.

I guess he thought I kept it from him, because it was my personal information or something, because he didn't press the matter.

"Okay, next question, did you come here on purpose?" he asked.

"Nope" I replied.

"Hmmmm, do you know how to get back to where you're from?" he asked hopefully.

"I'm afraid I don't," I said sadly.

"All right, you're living here then, you can study at Sleet City High, and can live in the hospital until you're discharged, Hmmmm….." he said without asking my consent.

Since I had no other choice, I did not protest.

He finally looked at me and said

"I'll make the arrangements; you can go back to the hospital now. The Glalie guided me back to the hospital, and once I reached there, I went inside my ward. I clambered back into my bed.

After some time, Peaches entered my ward.

"How'd the meeting with the mayor go?" she asked.

"Fine" I replied.

"The mayor gave me a list of things to tell you, but he didn't actually tell me anything about the meeting" she said in a worried tone.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." I said.

She read stuff about the 'school' I'm going to go to, and other stuff about hospital stay, and stay after discharge. Discharge made me think about Manectric, but I knew what she meant.

I nodded to whatever she said, and after she left, I started wondering where the heck, my Sceptilite could be and if Sky was okay.

Derrick's PoV

"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" the crowd chanted. They formed a ring around Chuck, Crystal, and me.

"Give me that shiny stone….." Chuck growled.

Looks like picking up that stone was a mistake.

"Why should I give it to you?" I said.

"You're a weakling, that's why." he said.

"Don't give it to him, otherwise he'll never stop bullying you" Crystal whispered urgently.

"LET'S SETTLE THIS WITH A BATTLE!" he roared.

No teachers were there in sight. This was after school hours. Prime bullying time.

He charged up his Focus Blast.

"OH SHIT!" I said and moved out of the way.

He came barreling in with a Rock Smash and hit me hard and sent me flying.

That was powerful. I managed to get up. I'm no easy baby to take candy from.

I barreled into him, using my momentum, then I hit him with a close range Wood Hammer.

That hurt him a lot and made him enraged.

"YOU managed to touch me?!" he asked furiously.

"Yes." I replied in a calm tone, though I wasn't feeling very calm.

He hit me with a flurry of Rock Smashes, and I keeled over and lost consciousness after I managed to hit him with a satisfying 'thud'.

The last thing I saw before the Wood Hammer recoil fully hit me was Crystal dodging Chuck's attacks and hitting him with tackles and quick attacks before fainting.

A/N: MUHAHAHAHAHAHA, just kidding guys, I'm uploading two chapters at once, remember? Anyway, Chuck is the Beartic I mentioned in the previous chapter. If there are any suggestions, feel free to review, but beware, if you say something like 'You Suck" or "Waste story" I'll PM you one word. 'Why?' Send reviews in giving me ways I can improve, and other stuff like that. So, what are you waiting for? Go to Chapter 4 already!
