Chapter 2
~the next morning
"Nothing beats a good night sleep." I said happily as I stretched out.
"She left?" I heard Brendan say from inside.
I peaked in and listened in on him.
"I wonder if I scared her off, maybe she just doesn't like me, just like everyone else." He said sadly as he sat down.
"I didn't leave and i like you." I told him.
He jumped in surprise that I was still there.
"I thought you had left." He told me calmly.
"I was just sleeping out here." I told him as I crawled inside.
"Sorry for assuming that you left." He said sadly.
"It's okay." I told him as I patted him on his shoulder.
"Wanna go swimming today?" He asked me.
"Sure, where though?" I asked him.
He got up silently and walked over to the window and climbed out.
"The lake." He said as he jumped out.
I didn't have anything I could say, I was flabbergasted, I ran over to the window and looked out to see him free falling into a giant lake under the tree.
"Oh thank arceus, he won't die, hopefully." I thought hesitantly as I watched him finally hit the water.
"How did he do that so unnervingly? It's like a couple hundred feet drop!?" I said to myself amazedly.
He popped out of the surface of the lake and I could see him beckoning for me to come.
"There is no way I'm jumping." I said to myself as I climbed out the window and slowly climbed down the tree and towards the lake.
"Why didn't you jump?" He asked me as he slowly swam towards the edge of the lake.
"It's so high up. I'm not doing that." I told him sternly.
"Ok, come in." He said as he swam away from the shore.
I was a little hesitant to get in, I was curious but I was unsure if I could swim. I slowly dipped my feet in and let the rest of my body go in until my entire body was underwater. The view underwater was amazing! The water was crystal clear so you could see all the Pokemon swimming around. there were remoraids, gyarados, Azumarill, floatzel, samurott, just about every water type I could think of. One Azumarill started to swim towards Brendan and I started to get nervous, I didn't know if it would attack him and he didn't know it was coming, I popped my head out from underneath the water and yelled at him.
"Brendan! There is a Pokemon coming towards you!" I told him.
He smiled and dove under the water, I looked under too to see him looking at the Azumarill, it smiled and let him hold onto its back as it swam around.
"I guess it doesn't mean any harm." I thought to myself.
It swam towards me and I jumped out the water so I could catch my breath, the two resurfaced and laughed.
"Thank you Azumarill!" He told it happily.
"You're welcome!" I heard it say happily.
"Hey. Who are you?" The Azumarill asked me.
"Me? My name is Leafa." I told it.
"Nice to meet you Leafa, you might want to be careful around here, there is this really mean feraligatr that hunts females that come near the lake or live in it." It told me.
"Oh no! He's coming!" She said as she jumped out the water, pulling a confused Brendan out with her as she dove into the bushes with him.
"Hide!" She yelled at me.
I looked back over the lake and saw the feraligatr's fin cutting through the water and heading straight towards me.
"No use in hiding now, might as well fight." I said to myself.
"Damn him, can he ever leave!?" I heard Brendan say as he climbed out from the bushes.
"Leafa, you don't mind battling him do you?" Brendan asked me.
"I'm fine with it." I told him as I got ready.
"Here he comes!" Brendan said as he stood behind me.
The feraligatr jumped out the water and onto the bank, he looked at us and looked at the Azumarill, he then turned to me and growled.
"Just comply missy and no one gets hurt." He told us in a dark tone.
"Piss off before I hurt you." I told him as i brandished my blade like leaves on my arms.
He quickly lunged at me and I swatted him aside with my tail, he flew into a tree and was disoriented.
"Use leaf blade!" Brendan told me, I jumped at him as he was laid up against the tree and slashed at him, he was quick enough to lunge out the way and not get hit, the tree had taken the hit and was sliced in half.
I turned around to see him holding Brendan and using him as a hostage.
