Chapter 2
I started to wake up but everything was blurry, my eyes adjusted and I remembered what happened.
I looked around and saw Espeon on the ground, but…she was human! I backed away and I saw feet… my feet!
Then Espeon woke up. "Whoa, where am I?" she asks and then she saw me. "Oh my Mew!" she screamed as she looked at herself. "The curse…" she said.
"What curse" I asked looking at my body. "Well when a Pokémon leaves the island they turn into humans. That way no Pokémon would ever want to leave, I mean who would want to look like this" she said.
"I don't know. I look hideous" I complained. "I know right and it's so cold! How can they stand no fur?" she complained back. I shrugged and started look around till I released we were behind bars.
Espeon started to stare at the bars until her eyes and her red stripe in her short purple hair started glowing. The bars moved a little but not a lot.
Two men entered the room, one with a black outfit with a red R on it and another with a red hoody on, carrying a bucket. He poured what was in the bucket into a thing pigs eat from. "What is this, barf?" Espeon asked. "Food" they said as they left the room.
I sighed and stood up, I made my way over to closed door and started scratching my nails on the metal while Espeon in the middle of the room in a weird position. I looked at her, "Is everything al-" I started but a loud bang interrupted me.
It was the cage bars "There. I knew that would work" Espeon said, I looked at her in confusion. "You see that position I was in, was a meditating position. Meditite told me that if I stay like that, I could focus my power. I thought if I focused enough then I could maybe break the bars" she explained "It worked.''
I smiled; we were getting out of here! Before we left I looked around. "What are you waiting for let's go!" Espeon insisted. "I was making sure no one was coming" I said as I ran out with Espeon.
We rounded a corner and bumped into something.
Guards!
"Hey how did you get out?" one asked. "You didn't look to well- RUN!" Espeon shouted in a worried voice, I nodded and we ran.
I didn't want to go back to that cell, they treat Pokémon like crap! Like they're slaves! Espeon and I were going to get them all out, but for now we needed to run as fast as we could to safety.
As we were rounding another corner we heard a voice say. "Hey you, over here!" We stopped and headed over to the voice. The voice was actually two boys about our age. "Come with us" one said as they grabbed our arms and ran.
Then we reached light and we were outside the building, but we didn't stop running until we were in a forest where we could hide.
The two of us panted, then I looked at the building and then at the boy that just let go of my arm.
Then Espeon pulled me away where the boys couldn't hear us "What are we going to do! We can't trust them" she said. I nodded "They could just want us out here so they can slaughter us" I said "Yea or they can be people from the building trying to trick us". I look back then sighed "Let's go" as I started to walk away "Wait" Espeon said "Let's at least ask what they want with us". I looked at her in confusion as she walked up to them.
"What do you want with us" she asked and the boys looked confused "What do you mean?" one asked "We know you want something to do with us" she said "We don't want to do anything to you. We went in there to try and save the Pokémon but instead we rescued you guys." the other boy said "Anyway why were you there".
I froze and looked away "We were...captured by them because we had info they needed" Espeon said and I smiled and nodded "Anyway my name is Bryce and this is Keith" one boy said "Well my name is...um Epona. And this is... Abree" Espeon replied "Nice to meet cha" Keith said.
I nodded and looked at the building "We have to save the Pokémon" I said in a worried tone "We'll do it tomorrow night if you want to join us" Keith said and the two of us nodded "Sure!" Espeon said "For now you should come stay with us" Bryce insisted.
I looked at Espeon " We'll be safe don't worry" she whispered where the boys couldn't hear us. We looked at them and nodded then we followed them.
When we got to their house, they showed us our room. It had two beds, a dresser, and a radio. The two of jumped on our beds and before we knew it, we were asleep.
I started to wake up and noticed Absol asleep in the bed next to mine. I went over to her with sleepy eyes "Time to wake up" I said as I shook her.
She got up and moaned "Morning" " Morning" I replied "Let's go" she said as we were walking out the bedroom door an into the kitchen, where we saw the boys preparing something that smell somewhat good " What's that" I asked "Pancakes" Bryce said "What's that" I whisper to Absol and she shrugged.
Keith then put what looked like flat circles on some plates in front of us and then he put some sticky liquid on it. I took a bite of it and my eyes lit up. I started eating more and in about 5 minutes the pancake was gone.
"That was awesome" I exclaimed and Absol nodded "You guys have never tasted pancakes?" Keith asked "No. Where were from we don't get this stuff" Absol said. I nodded and took a small piece of Absol's pancake. "Hey!" she exclaimed and I shrugged "It's good you have more!" I said as I closed my eyes. The taste was so good. Absol sighed and kept eating.
"Do you guys have a place to stay" Bryce asked I got a sad look on my face as I remember what happened on the island "We...we're very far away from home ,so no" I replied "Then how about you stay with us" Bryce asked, I looked at Absol and she nodded "Sure" we said together. "Great and today were going to town. Wanna come with" Keith asked "Yea, sure" Absol replied.
As Keith, Bryce, and Absol finished there pancakes we left. Then when we were walking down the street we heard something, it sounded like fighting. As we passed by it we found out it was a Pokémon battle.
My eyes narrowed in anger, the two things I hated most were
1. Pokémon being captured
2. Pokémon being used as tools
"Come on, Epona" Absol said. I growled and used my psychic powers to make them... shut up for a little bit.
After some other shopping, the four of us went into a place called "Wal-Mart". I don't know what that means but they sell food and other useful things.
Then as we were walking down the cereal ail, Keith and Bryce bumped into someone "Hey who knew we meet you guys here" Bryce said "Abree. Epona. These are our friends Ash, and Misty"
