Chapter 7: Newcomer

Aliza's POV:

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I was screaming for my life. I fell off a cliff and I'm still falling. Then an idea popped into my head. Wait...I know bounce. I got ready to use my bounce attack. Okay bounce, don't fail me now.

I stretched my bunny feet to bounce of any upcoming rocks. I saw a big rock sticking out of the cliff.

7 medium sized rocks started falling above me, so i had to dodge the rocks first and then bounce on them to go to that big rock.

The first rock was coming, Okay, here goes nothing.

I dodge the first rock so I was above it. Then I my bunny feet to push my self higher from that rock. That wasn't that hard. Here comes the second rock. The second rock came, and again I dodged the rock so I was above it. Then, again, I bounced off of the rock. I looked up. The rocks were getting smaller, so I had to be more careful that I don't miss the rock.

The third rock came by. Again, I dodged it then I bounced off. I never bounced as high as before, I guess that came from the size of the rock.

I bounced up right below the big rock I was going for. Okay, here's my last chance, the 7th rock.
the seventh rock came falling. It was so small, it was hard to see it, but I managed to bounce off of it.
"Ow!" I screamed. I didn't really bother to care if I was hurt; I was flying up to the big rock. I grasped onto the edge of the rock.
I made it! I thought happily, Now I just need to pull myself up.

I tried and tried, but I was still hanging on the edge. I decided that I needed some help.
"Help!" I screamed, "I'm hanging on the edge of a cliff! HELP ME!"

I hope someone heard...

"CAN'T ANYONE HEAR ME!?" I screamed, "I'M HANGING FOR MY LIFE!"

I started to give up, I was about to let go and give up, until I felt a soft paw holding to me.
"I gotcha," A voice said, "Now you need to help me pull you up."
"Okay," I said relieved, "What do I do?"
"Use your feet to push yourself up from the rock."
"Okay," I said pushing my feet off of the side of the rock.

The Pokémon pulled me up from the cliff. I rolled over from the edge and closed my eyes.
"Thank you thank you thank you." I said relieved.
"Hey, don't sweat it, I'm here to help." The Pokémon said.
I opened my eyes and saw a Minccino sitting in front of me. I hugged him, "Thank you so much! You saved my life."
"I told you," He said cheerfully, "I'm to help."

There was an awkward silence between both of us.

"Hi, I'm Aliza," I said sticking my paw out to him.
The Minccino shook my paw, "Hi Aliza, I'm Neo. You're around the land border of Sinnoh and Unova region. Are you far from home?"

"No," I said a bit suspicious, "Isn't Unova over and ocean? That's why so many Pokémon here are different…"

"Um…Well…You see…" Neo was a bit nervous while saying this. I'll have to ask him about it later. "Uh, what happened to your foot?" He quickly asked, obviously trying to change the subject. I looked at my foot remembering the pain I just received from that last rock, "Well, long story short, because it's almost dark, before you found me; I was at an end of a bridge, I started to cross it to reunite with my lover when all of a sudden…" I told him the story of the bridge; how the bridge broke and how I started to fall to my death; I also told him of the attack I used to save my life. But that didn't matter…

I was dead according to Sparkz…

I started to cry into Neo's chest, "I shouldn't even look for him, for all I know he's dating that Kyila Pokémon…"

"Kyila? Who is this Pokémon?" Neo asked a bit curiosly.

I sniffed and told him about Kyila, "She's this other Buneary who had a crush on my lover, Sparkz. She used a Blurry Orb to blind Sparkz into thinking she was me…It worked."

"She sounds like a clever Pokémon," Neo said, "I may want to meet her,

"Well I don't." I said sternly while standing up.

I walked, or stumbled around the rock trying to get use to the pain in my foot. The first time I stepped on my injured foot, the pain struck my mind at an instant. It was the type of pain that wasn't that brutally painful, but that's what made it more painful. Neo stood up and held me, "Do you need help walking?" Trying to not focus on the pain I was going through, I said, "No, I'm fine."

"If you say so," Neo said walking away to a forest.

I reached my arm out to him, "Wait! Where are you going?" I called out to him. He was already gone.

Sparkz POV

The blood dripped down from my arm. The pain stung as a cactus were to stab you with it's needles staying in you peirecing your skin. It was all worth it.

"Sparkz!" Kyila shouted holding my arm covering cut trying to stop the blood, "Why would you-"

I walked away pushing her hand off, "We need to move on," I looked back at her saying, "C'mon. We need to find some place to get some food. I motioned her over,d she quickly hopped over to me and past me.

I forced a chuckle, "Heh. Kyila. Where are you going?"

She soon hopped back with some leaves and wrapped it around my arm. "At least bandage it up," she said smiling and wrapping my arm in some leaves.

"Thanks." I said smiling to her. Maybe she isn't that bad.

"Not a problem," she said smiling back, "Where are we going?"

She caught me by surprise by asking that. I didn't know what to say, "I..I don't know."

Kyila jumped in excitement, "We should get into shelter to sleep for the night. We wasted enough time grieving over her. We must survive now; I'm sure that's what she would want."

I sat and wept for a while. I finally got to my conscience, "Okay. But no funny business when I''m asleep."

She giggled taking my hand running into the forest. "Okay."

3rd Person:

Aliza limped around that same rock for an hour or so coping with the singing pain that ringed in her foot. Neo soon returned from the forest with a leaf basket with a various amount of berries. Neo sat on the rock supervising Aliza as she recovers.

After 30 minutes, Aliza finally sat down by the rock. "I'm...I'm tired...Can we rest somewhere?"

"Sure," Neo assured her, "I prepared a place for us so we can stay for the night. I came back here to pick you up."

Aliza gave off a slight blush and said, "Oh...How..sweet of you. How did you do all of that and manage to do all of that with time to spare?"

He took Aliza's paw leading her back to the shelter he prepared for them. As the two were heading towards the house. Neo started to levitate a bit, Aliza being attentive to little details said, "Neo...why are you floating?"

Neo touched the ground as soon as his sensitive ears heard what she said. "What are you talking about?"

Aliza pointed at Neo's feet, "I swear you were-" Neo kissed Aliza.

She pushed him off, "What the hell?" she exclaimed, "Why on earth would you kiss me like that?"

Neo stayed silent for a bit, "Well...Just for fun I guess." He pointed at the shelter he made. It was in a tree, with a door and two windows, "Look we're here."

Aliza being suspicious about Neo now walked to the house, "It looks exactly like home...I could stay here..."

Neo gave her a questioning look, "Didn't you want to find Sparkz though?"

"After my foot heals." Aliza ran in sitting on the couch yawning, "but for now, we need to sleep. Good night Neo and thank you for this."

Neo gave her a comforting smile as Aliza fell asleep. He looked up the stairs and headed to the room he prepared for them, but would sleep in alone.
