I spent two weeks on this island, with no way of contacting my mother, because my phone was destroyed in the water, and the phones on the island cannot reach more than one mile away.
I met a person called Regina. She allowed me to stay at her house, and we became friends pretty quickly. Regina has showed me all over the town, and some parts of the island, and I became pretty familiar with some of the locals.

Regina was the daughter of the dock owner, Noah, and she often helped him to look after the place. Regina would let me know if a boat ever turned up, so I could board it. It was pretty much a waiting game now.

Today it was raining, so most people were inside.
"There's a problem down at the docks!" Regina said, as she ran down the streets. I was following her.
"What is it?"
"A Pokémon is trapped, my father can't get to it!"
"What?!"

When we arrived, I saw Noah leaning over the pier reaching for a fishing net, which was just out of his reach. Both Regina and I ran over.
"Father! Where's the Pokémon?"
"Its trapped in that net! The wind is blowing it, and there's some hungry Tentacool down there."
I noticed some faint red glowing in the water. I looked at the net, a small purple Pokémon was tangled in it, struggling. "It's too scared of me, it keeps trying to get away."
"I'll get it, hold on to me." I said. I hanged over the side of the pier, Noah and Regina held my legs so I wouldn't fall. The net was in reach, but the Pokémon kept struggling. "It's okay little guy, I wont hurt you." I said in a soft voice. It didn't seem to calm down at all.
I grabbed the net, and pulled it up, bringing the Pokémon with it. Upon closer inspection, the Pokémon looked like a male Nidoran. "I got it!" I said. "Pull me up!"
Noah and Regina pulled me up, and I sat trying to untangle the poor little guy.
"Be careful of the barbs on it's back!" Regina warned.
"I-I am." I said. It didn't help that the Nidoran was restless and wouldn't stop moving. "How did it even get stuck in a fishing net?"
"I saw it running along the pier, when it suddenly looked over the edge and fell." Noah explained.

I started to wonder why a Nidoran would be playing on a pier of all places, especially in the rain.

I snapped some of the meshing, and created a hole, but the Nidoran squirmed more, and the next wrapped around its leg tightly, which looked painful.
"Okay, your struggling isn't exactly helping.." I muttered.
"Nido!" It suddenly spiked out and stabbed my hand with the horns on its back.
"Ah!"
"Florence!" Regina pulled me away from the Nidoran. "We have to act fast, before the poison spreads too far!"
Noah tied a cloth around my arm tightly, so the poison wouldn't get through.
"W-we're gonna need to take the Nidoran to the Pokémon centre." I said.

Noah wrapped his coat around the Nidoran to shelter it, and we followed him to the Pokémon centre.

Both Nidoran and I were treated.
"You are both lucky." Nurse Joy said.
I turned to the Nidoran, it had a ring wound on its front right-hand leg. I felt sorry for the poor little guy.
"It will have to be taken back out into the wild. But I don't have the time.. would you kind people mind taking it for me?"
I nodded. "Sure!" I carefully picked up the sleeping Nidoran, and left with Regina by my side.
"Where do you think the little guy came from?" I asked.
"If he was playing on the pier, then his home shouldn't be too far away."

So we used the pier as a starting location, and went from there.

Nidoran woke up, and panicked when it saw us, so it ran off into some bushes.
I blinked. "Oh well, I guess it knows where it's going."
"Yeah, I agree. Come on, the rains starting to get heavier." Regina said, adjusting the umbrella in her hand.

We both started to run back to the town, when Regina stopped running.

"What is it?" I asked.
"Look, over there!" She pointed to the docks in the distance. "There's a boat coming! Come on!"
"Ah! We might be lucky now, Azura!" I said, carrying her in my arms as I ran to the docks.

Noah was speaking to the boat's owner as I arrived. Dozens of people came off the boat, they looked like tourists. I read the name on the side of the ship. SS Trinity.

"Excuse me, sir?"
The captain looked at me. "Hm?"
"Does this ship go to the Kanto region?"
"Woahahaha. My darlin' Trinity can travel the toughest seas out there!"
"... Even to Kanto?"
"Aye. To Kanto. Where is it you're plannin' on going?"
"Vermilion City."
"Fantastic, woahahaha. That is darlin' Trinity's next destination in fact."
"Wow! That's so convenient." I said. "Can I have a ride there?"
"O' course lassy! Climb aboard! There're plenty of spare rooms aye!"
I grinned and started walking up the ramp, passing some other tourists walking down. I waved to Regina.
"Stay safe, and good luck on your journey, Florence!" She called out.
"I will! Thanks for everything!" I called back before boarding.
