Chapter 3

I had to think of something to do with it, fast. I couldn't risk my parents waking up and seeing what happened, they would freak out. I had to take the unconscious typhlosion some place that it wouldn't cause a commotion. After some desperate thinking, I decided that my room was the only place to go, it would probably buy me some time to think.

I picked up the typhlosion from under the arms and dragged it into my room. It's fur was only slightly damp from the water that had come down on it only a little while ago. The typhlosion seemed to be nowhere near the estimated weight of 175 pounds, it felt much heavier. I finally managed to get it into my room. I was unable to lift onto my bed, so I just let it lie down on the carpet.

Now was the time to come up with a plan before it would wake up. I spent some time thinking about what I should do with it. I couldn't just kick it out of the house, it would just attack someone else. I was definitely NEVER going to kill it. What would I do with it from that point.

I spent almost 30 minutes trying to come up with a plan. I went to my bed and laid down to try to calm down, I was still jittery from the fight. I couldn't think straight as it was the middle of the night.

'Aw, my head ... what happened,' a young lady's voice came out of nowhere.

I jumped out of my bed and looked around. I ran to the door and checked to see if anyone was there. No one. I turned around slowly, afraid. I looked at the typhlosion, it's head was moving slowly, as it stared around the room in a daze. It was conscious.

'Where am I?' The voice came directly from the typhlosion. Was it talking?

"Oh my god" I silently said to myself.

The typhlosion's ears shot up again, and it looked right at me. It started growling again, but I was way to surprised to be scared.

'Oh my god, it can talk' I thought to myself.

The typhlosion stopped growling immediately, as soon as I uttered the thought. 'Oh my god, he could be...' This time I was sure it came from the typhlosion. 'How in the world can he talk?'

'I wonder why it's referring to me in the third person?'

'What does he mean by it?' the typhlosion questioned.

After a brief pause we both realized the most amazing thing. We weren't talking to each other, we were thinking to each other!

'This is unbelievable, not only that were thinking to each other, but that you think in English.'

'English? What's English? I'm surprised you're talking in our language.'

'I'm doing WHAT?'

'Your speaking in typhlosion language, the language I speak in'

How was this happening, I was talking to a typhlosion. We were still at opposite sides of the room.

I thought that I should make the most of what was happening. But, perhaps, it was a better idea to start from the bottom.

'I have so many questions for you and-' I said.

'Trust me, your not the only one.' She kept an unblinking eye on me, watching my every twitch, and movement.

'Ok, you ask the first question,' I inched slowly towards my bed

'Ok, do you have a name, my name is Terra'

'Oh, yes, my name is Nicholas, you can call me Nick. My turn, where did you come from?' I took another few steps towards my bed. Terra stayed in her currant stance, ready to jump at any moment.

'I come from a country that I think you humans call Jhoto. Where am I right know?'

'Your in- WAIT there are humans where you live!'

'Ya, they're practically everywhere, I've even been attacked by humans several times before.' She sneered, at bared her teeth at those words.

I felt sympathy for her but I still had more questions. I finally had the courage to ask the question I was waiting to ask. 'So, why did you attack me?'

Her stance softened, and she drew back her stance. 'What!? I never attacked you.'

'Ya, you did, I have proof,' I opened the side of my house coat to show the very bloody bandages that I had on. Even I winced when I looked at them, but Terra... she had a look of absolute shock on her face. I sat on my bed, my side was in a lot of pain.

'Whoa! That's odd, we typhlosions never attack anyone without reason. When did this happen?' She sounded surprised, et outraged.

'Just less than an hour ago, you almost killed me.'

'What ... no ... I .. I can't remember anything, I didn't know you were- This doesn't make any sense.'

'I had to knock you unconscious, I'm so sorry,' I tried to approach her, but she immediately went back into her threatening stance. I jumped back onto the bed, and stayed as far away as I could.

'Terra, calm down... look, I have one more question. Would you know what this is?' I showed her the chip that I removed from the back of her neck. Terra jumped back in fear.

'Where did you find that?' her voice was trembling, she knew something I didn't. I suddenly sensed my advantage.

'Can you tell me what it is first'?

'Ok... one day, just like every other day, my herd was walking through the souther regions of Johto. It seemed perfectly normal, the sun was shining, and the heat was fantastic.' I saw her doze off into her imagination for a brief second, and then suddenly shake out of it.

She continued her story. 'Suddenly, Shade stopped our heard in the middle of nowhere, telling us that he heard something. For that moment he had us frozen, on the spot, waiting for something to happen. After a little while, nothing happened, so we continued moving, when out of nowhere, these humans dressed in black came towards us. One person had a strange device with a chip just like the one your holding, while the others held a different device. We were surrounded in no time, and suddenly these nets were coming out of nowhere. I was so confused, and disoriented, and I couldn't escape the nets. When our entire herd was down, they examined each and every one of us closely. After a short while, they all gathered around Shade who was thrashing and doing everything to escape. What I saw I will never forget. The one with the chip, got behind Shade, while the others crowded around. After that, I heard Shade growl and hiss, and then it stopped. The other females hadn't the slightest idea of what was going on. When the noise stopped, the humans simply walked away and left us in the nets. I took one last look at Shade, who was let go from the nets, but something seemed different. Within an instant, he flared up, and attacked all of us. During his attack on me, he scratched the nets opened, and I was free. From that point on, I ran as far away as I could. And that was the last that I ever saw of him.'

That's why Terra attacked me, the chip in her back was controlling her. I needed to find out more about the chip but now wasn't the time.

'So, where did you say you found the chip?'

I stared at Terra for a moment, I had to tell her, we could read each other's minds, even if I lied to her she would find out eventually. Also, it just didn't seem right to lie to her.

'Terra... I found the chip in your neck.'

Terra's eyes widened, and her battle stance weakened. Her eyes darted left and right trying to comprehend what I had told her. This had to be a rough experience for her.

'But... but how did you remove it?'

'I just pulled it out after you were unconscious.'

Terra took some time to contemplate what I had said. Something seemed to bother her...

She leaped up onto the bed 'So your saying that you pulled that out of me?' I nodded. 'For that, I am in dept to you, so your life is spared. I thank you greatly.'

'Your welcome, I still have a lot more questions, but I'm getting tired. I think we should rest now'

I took my house coat off and crawled under the sheets. Terra laid down on the other side of the bed. I had a lot on my mind. I thought to myself

'I can't believe she exists, I wonder if all of the other pokemon exist. I wonder what else Terra can tell me. Should I ask her about-'

'Nick, be quiet, I'm trying to sleep.'

'Oh, right... sorry.'

I smiled at her and then fell asleep.
