Chapter 6

We ran down the hill and into the city. It was everything that I could ever imagined it to be. The streets were full of people and life, just like where I used to live. But here, everyone had a pokemon for a pet. I was amazed by the amount of pokemon they had there. I was even more amazed by the fact, that not only did I here the people conversing, but I could here the thoughts of all the pokemon around me. It was kind of annoying, but I was to exhilarated to care, I was able to talk to pokemon and that's all I had in my head.

Something different I noticed though was that all people had pokemon that were less than 3 feet tall.

I noticed that people seemed quite nervous as they passed by Terra. Some were scared and others seemed amazed.

'Hmm, Terra, I haven't seen any typhlosions here yet'.

'Well, Nick, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that, under normal circumstances, we usually eat humans for breakfast'. I should of seen that coming. I had a doubt that pokemon lived off of kibbles'n bits like they did off the show.

One middle-aged man finally had the courage to kneel down and pat Terra on the head.

"How in the world did you tame it". Finally, I heard someone talk rather than voices going off in my head. Even more surprising, he spoke English.

"I found her as an orphan and raised her from there". I had to come up with something, as cheesy and unlikely as it was.

'NICK, what the hell are you talking about'? I looked at Terra, while she gave me a quizzical look. I guess I thought the answer and said the answer at the same time.

'I had to come up with something, Terra, I couldn't just say that I removed a chip from your back and you were thankful. No-one would believe me'

Terra rolled her eyes, but she didn't care she was being petted anyway. At that moment, I realized that I was supposed to be figure out what was going out, not taking a stroll through town. But first I had to find out where I was. Perhaps it would be best to find a map.

"Um, could you tell me how to get to the nearest convenience store, I'm not from around here"

The man stopped petting Terra and stood up. "Sure, it's three blocks that way", he pointed north,"than turn left at the diner, you can't miss it".

"Ok, thanks" Terra and me started walking again. I was still amazed by the diversity of pokemon they had there. People had every pokemon from abra to zubat.

As we were walking to the store, I noticed how well Terra was behaving, but something seemed to be bothering her.

'Terra, is something wrong'?

'No, I'm fine'. I didn't believe her

We walk the three blocks and arrived at the diner the man told us to turn left at. I went around the corner and looked at the direction Terra was but she wasn't at my side anymore. I looked over my shoulder to find that Terra halted in front of the diner.

I went back to find Terra mesmerized by something.

'Terra'? She didn't respond. I looked at the diner to find a few outdoor tables. At one of the tables, was a man and a woman. The woman had a salad and the man had a steak. Terra's vision was fixated on the steak. I looked closer at Terra to find that she was drooling.

'Oh my god, you must be starving', I said to Terra.

'Ya ... ya I am'.

I felt terrible that I didn't get Terra anything to eat back home, she must not of had anything to eat in the past three days as she was hunting me down. But as it was, I didn't even know what kind of money people had here, let alone, do I even have any money. I probably couldn't imagine the temptation Terra was going through, the temptation to chow down on some humans.

Terra and I continued walking until we made it to the convenience store. I was relieved to see people were walking in and out of the store with there pokemon. A town without any limits towards the pokemon, it was awesome.

We went inside and looked around the store. There were so many products that I've never heard of before. I flipped through the pamphlets to see if I could find a map. I glanced at the cashier to find he was just glaring at Terra while she looked at him.

I finally found a map of the town. The town was roughly thirty square kilometers, a small city just like the one I used to live in. I looked in the corner of the map to find the name of the town. 'Chokoto'. I didn't recognize the name of the town. But it wasn't the name of any city from the show. Even if it was, I wouldn't be able to remember. I hadn't watched the show, or played the games in a while.

Just than I felt the ground shake. I looked out the window to find people running away from something. Terra and I moved towards the door to see what was going on outside. All of a sudden, something came bursting from the wall beside me. Terra and I ran outside. I tried to see what was behind me but there was to much rubble.

"OH MY GOD, what was that". We stood in the middle of the street, waiting for the smoke to clear. Than, out of the rubble, an aggron cam running out. It was massive. From the looks of it, it probably weighed about 5 tons.

I looked into its eyes, I saw the same emptiness in the aggron's eyes as I did in Terra's when she had the chip on. That meant one thing. The aggron was chipped and it wanted to take me down.
