Ch. 3
There wasn't a contest being held in Floaroma Town, but Nando wanted to stay and try talking with the guy in the calm color house. One night, however, while Nando was sleeping in his room at the Pokemon Center… he woke up smelling smoke and hearing people outside shouting, "Fire! Fire!"
Nando got up and got dressed. He exited the Pokemon Center. He saw the smoke and gasped.
"Oh, no! That's the direction of that one guy's house!" Nando ran towards the smoke. The adults stopped shouting once they knew which house was on fire. They didn't care.
Nando heard something on the breeze as soon as he made it to where he could see the flames.
"Someone please help me!" shouted the voice on the breeze. "I'm still in here! Someone! Anyone! Help me, please!"
Nando gasped sharply. Being taken back to his childhood.
~flashback~
There was a room in his house Nando wasn't allowed to enter. He did hear a guitar playing from that room every now and then. He recalls seeing his parents bringing a red guitar with a gold trimming in the house and to the room he couldn't go in.
When Nando would play outside, he always felt like he was being watched from the window of that room. But once he turned around to see if anyone was there… no one was.
One day, a fire started. Burning through the whole house. Nando's parents grabbed him and got out of the house in time. But Nando heard something over the fire's roar.
"Someone help me, please! I'm still in here! Help! Mom! Dad! Anyone, please help me!"
~end flashback~
Nando shook his head to get out of the past for now.
"Please, someone!" shouted the guy in the house as he started coughing.
"Armaldo! Help me out, please!" Nando called, throwing a Pokeball in the air. His Armaldo comes out.
"Maldo," it said, facing the flames.
"Armaldo, douse the flames with water gun, please!" Nando said.
"Armaldo," Armaldo nodded as it used water gun on the fire. The fire got bigger and not smaller.
"Oh, my!" Nando ran to the front door after ripping his cape and made a mask with it so he wouldn't breathe in the smoke.
Armaldo kept up the water gun as Nando slammed into the front door. Forcing it open as the flames jumped at him. He shielded his face as his Armaldo shot a water gun at those flames.
"Ar, armaldo!" Armaldo shouted, getting in front of Nando. Water gunning the flames and slashing the wood that fell down from the ceiling.
"Thanks, my friend," Nando smiled under his mask. "Where are you?! Sir! Please say something!"
"Someone, please help me!" the guy shouted from the second floor, coughing more.
"Armaldo, upstairs!" Nando shouted over the fire as he found the stairs and ran up them. His Armaldo close to him.
Once they made it to the top floor, the flames got more intense. Armaldo huffed as it nearly fell to the floor.
"Armaldo! Thanks my friend, return!" Nando said as he returned Armaldo. He looked around as best he could for the guy. He tried hollering again.
"S-Someone… please help me!" shouted the guy. "This can't be happening again! Help!" He coughed more.
Nando followed the coughing as the ceiling came down around him. He maneuvered around them with ease.
He came to a closed closet. Still hearing the coughing. It was coming from inside the closet. Nando opened the closet doors to see a boy that looked just like him. Only with longer hair and a jacket instead of a cape. He was hugging his instrument, scared and crying.
"Let's get you out of here!" Nando shouted over the fire's roar. The boy just flew into Nando's arms still holding his guitar.
Nando's arms wrapped around the scared boy as he ran to the window. "Altaria, I need your help, my friend!" he called as Altaria came out of its Pokeball and flapped in front of the window. Nando got on his Altaria's back with the boy that looked like him.
"Fly away from the fire, please!" Nando still had to shout over the fire's roar. Altaria nodded as it flew away from the burning house.
Nando noticed some wild water Pokemon putting out the fire now. He took off the mask and tried comforting the boy he just saved.
