This next chapter was shorter than all the others, but I wanted to end it where I did because it will play into the next chapter nicely. I also hope that the next chapter will be longer.

Thanks to the following people for reviews: Music-Warrior-Nightsong and Wings that bring the fate.

Disclaimer: I does not own Pokemon. Nor Engrish. Only the computer from which I post this story.


I only heard some parts of this next bit, but I later got all of the details from someone who was there. This bit is important to her though, so she'll tell you what happened and how.


"So…" I heard a voice begin. "Is Melody your only Pokemon?" I heard the voice move his hand to gesture to the belt Alex was wearing around her waist. It only had one other Pokeball, and someone with a single Pokemon as powerful as that Eevee would more than likely have more.

"I do have one other, but she's a little shy. I only recently caught her." She reached behind her and grabbed a Pokeball from in the bag. She tossed it up. "Go Naru!"

Out of the Pokeball came a small, light blue bug reminiscent of a water skipper, with a yellow top. Myself. I looked up at Alex, trying figure out why she would bring me out, when I saw the boy she was talking to. He had on a black sleeveless-tee and had brown hair. I quickly dashed behind my trainer.

"C'mon Naru. Don't be afraid. He's a friend." Alex picked me up and set me down on her lap. She then started to pet me. I shook, and she stopped. "Sorry." She said, before looking at the boy.

"So why'd you name her Naru? Isn't that the name of a goddess from those Legend of Zelda games?"

Alex made a small noise, a noise that happens when you chuckle while smirking. "I was thinking of a name for her, and remembered one of the names of goddesses. I though it would fit, and chose it. Besides, you like your name, don't you Naru?"

I gave a small "Sir", and then started to turn. I had heard a noise from my left, and wanted to make sure that it wasn't something wanting to eat me (birds have a nasty habit of eating bugs like myself).

I saw Mel lying down on the grass, sleeping. Beside her I saw a Pokemon with a fire on its back. I was immediately curious about this. I didn't know of any Pokemon that had fire on them. Fiery hair, like a Ponyta, but not a fiery back, anyway. I wanted to go over and see what it was, try to determine whether it was dangerous.

I must have zoned out, because I heard Alex ask a question. "So, you're Pokedex just went crazy?" She started petting me again, and I shook. She looked down at me. "Sorry, Naru. I'm just used to petting Melody while I'm thinking." She then looked over at the strange creature, looked down at me, and then set me down. "Go introduce yourself. You two will make friends."

I nodded (as best as I could), and dashed over to where it was sitting. It seemed really zoned out; like it was in another world. I went up to it, and poked it with one of my skates.

It jolted, almost like I had awoken it from a bad dream, and looked around. It spotted me, and tried to get up. I saw that it must have been a baby, and sighed. Babies couldn't eat me. They could hardly suck a bottle.

It fell over, and a saw that it landed on its back. But the grass around it didn't catch fire.

"Could you help me up?" I heard it say. It didn't say it in baby gibberish, and that threw me off. I helped it get up, and it sighed. "I hate being a baby again…"

I decided to ask if I heard correctly. "Did you say 'again'?"

The other Pokemon looked at me. And stared. And suddenly I saw a boy; lying on a table, have a spasm. The heart-rate machine flat-lined, and I heard someone sob. Then I was back again.

"What was that?" I asked, knowing not why I had just seen a young human die. He just stared, and then started sobbing. I started to cry a little to as I tried to reassure him. "There, there."

He started to stop, and I decided to try again, this time phrasing it carefully. "Did you see anything?"

He nodded. "I remember that…" He seemed to be calming down, and then he jumped up. "I remember something!" He pushed a paw into the air, the way a human that just made an important discovery might have.

Then I stared at him. He just went from sobbing to excited in a second. I, on the other skate, was entirely confused. "What?" I was starting to get a little scared of him. He seemed to be having unpredictable mood swings; random zoning outs; and was definitely not a baby, no matter how young he looked.

"Sorry. I'm just so happy. I finally remember something of my past." He paused, possibly savoring the moment. "I almost forgot it all." He put a paw on the back of his head. "Even if what I remember is myself flat-lining."

There was a sudden chill in the air, and I saw him zone out. I tried to wake him by poking him again, but he didn't respond. I then tried to piece together what the Pokemon had just told me.


Yes, a Surskit named Naru. Who seems to know a lot about Human things. (Yes, a Pokemon who gets to see the human die. Not normal in these kind of situations, but I have my reasons. And I can't reason with them. They just do what they want.) Best part is: I can use the name and references because the regions are based on Japan. That and each of the games had a Nintendo system in the room you start in.

You know what goes here.
