"Shiloh, Shiloh wake up!" Crystal was shaking the orange Pokemon. She jerked his head again.
"Shiloh they're gonna leave without us!"
"Wha?" His eyes shot open. "Already?"
"Yeah, come on." Crystal helped her friend up. "Who knows what we'll run into today."
"Who knows," Shiloh agreed.
"I hear it's real mossy and damp up ahead.
You may want to be a little more careful,"
she told him.
Shiloh nodded and walked off with Crystal. As they ventured on the space was limited. The trees closed in around them until there was only a narrow pathway to walk through. There were lots of patches of soaking wet grass and the plants were dripping wet. Shiloh stumbled every now and then, trying to dodge the puddles. Crystal lectured him, "Move as quick as a Rapidash and as cautious as a Rattata."
"I'm trying hard enough as it is." Shiloh complained.
Crystal stopped, something didn't feel right.
She glared around, uncertain of what would happen. There was something in the air that made her shudder.
"What's the matter?" he asked quietly.
"I don't know."
Crystal tried to scent something but nothing smelled unusual. She tried to shake the feeling but it just kept coming back. It was weird,
nothing was out of the ordinary. So why did it feel like something horrible was going to happen?
Crystal padded on, she felt the ground slip out from her feet. She a didn't notice the steep drop when she walked on the mossy ground. The slant in land led to a sticky swamp. Crystal tumbled down and was left in the green goop.
"Shiloh help me!" she called to her friend.
But he didn't responded. "Help me anyone!"
Crystal pleaded. Her paws were covered with the icky mess. The water was transformed to the color red.
"No!" she yelped.
Crystal then heard a familliar voice calling out to her.
You are near, follow the scent of blood. It will lead you to your destiny.
Crystal blinked her eyes open, she was back in the same mossy area with Shiloh. She hadn't even left!
"Are you okay?" Shiloh questioned.
"Did you hear anything?"
"No, nothing," he responded.
Crystal asked, "Well, can you smell anything?"
"No, not really."
The voice said to follow the smell of blood.
Crystal scented the air, it really was bloody.
"Follow me," she instructed.
Later on the pathway became wider and the ground wasn't as wet. Sunlight peered throught the leaves of the tall trees. Ahead it looked like there was a clearing.
Crystal was stunned. It looks exactly like in my dream.
Her pace quickened, Crystal broke into a run.
We're here! she smiled.
Crystal was speechless, berries grew on every tree and bush, an exact match. Shiloh ran up beside her.
"Amazing," Shiloh gazed around the forest.
"There should be a lake around here,"
she informed him.
Crystal scampered on as she looked for the lake.
Where is it?
Yet again she found herself knee deep in water.
"Found it!" she giggled. When she looked in the center of the lake there was no island or a tree.
Crystal shook the water off her fur, accidentally getting Shiloh wet. "Sorry!" she apologized.
He wiped the water from his face and sat down.
"Do you think the others made it?"
he asked.
"Let's go look for them," she insisted.
"Okay," he sighed.
Shiloh stood up and followed Crystal across the clearing.
"Look over there." She pointed out.
Small figures romed the grassy landscape.
"That looks like them," said Shiloh.
Crystal bounded down the hill so she could get a better image. She squinted her eyes, it was them! The little Pokemon raced over.
"Tavius, Aren?" Crystal looked around.
"Over here." They sounded close.
"Where?"
"Behind you." Crystal turned around to see familiar faces. Shiloh was out of breath when he reached them.
"Hi...Tavius...Aren," he panted. "Good to...see you."
"You as well." Aren smiled.
"Have you seen any Veya berries yet?"
Crystal asked.
"Not yet, but I'm sure there around here somewhere," Tavius assured her.
Crystal looked around, there were so many berries it would be difficult to find a certain one.
"Come on Shiloh, were gonna find those berries!"
the next chappie'll be up soon. keep reveiwing :)
