Chapter 3: Trouble
As we were still walking back home, I kept looking at the poor injured green fairy who was resting in my arms. I gave it some more wolf affection at the top of its head.
"We should be home by now. Just around this corner and th-" Leo stopped. "Wait."
"What's wrong?"
"Something's watching us."
"Where?" I looked around.
"Right here!" an unknown voice spoke.
We looked at the direction of where the voice was coming from and it was a human with 2 Pokémon by his side.
"That's a Houndoom and a Scyther." Donnie identified those Pokemon.
"No duh genius." Akira said.
"I've been looking for that Celebi everywhere." the human sneered.
"Celebi?" I asked myself.
"And who are you?" Akira asked the human.
"A Pokemon lover. Now hand that Celebi over like a good girl and maybe I'll let you go." the hunter said.
"Why should we give it to you? What do you want with it?"
"I'm a Pokemon hunter, freak. I make good money off of rare Pokemon. First I catch 'em, then I auction 'em off... to the highest bidders." he said with a smirk and took out a net.
"Well, you're not gonna get your hands on this Pokemon!" I growled at him and held Celebi closer to me.
"Give it to me!"
"No!"
"Guys fall back!" Leo stated.
"Never thought I'd hear you say that!" Akira said as she started running with the rest of us behind them.
As we were running, the hunter and his Pokémon were right hot on our tails. "Don't worry Celebi, we won't let him get you!" I said to it.
"Get back here freaks!" the human was right behind us with his motorcycle.
"We're in trouble now!" Mikey was panting.
"BIIIII!" Celebi cried out and then something happened. The trees were glowing blue and it made us stop in our tracks.
"Whoa..." we all skidded to a stop.
"Was this your doing Donnie?" Akira gasped at the sight of the glowing blue trees.
"Nope." he shook his head.
"I think it was... Celebi." I looked down at it.
"BIIIII!" Celebi cried out again and then it started to glow green in my arms.
"Ah!" I gasped. "Guys!"
"Aqua!" Leo came over to me and so did the others.
The next thing we've seen was Celebi glowing all green and then everything went white.
~40 years ago... in ???'s POV~
I was with my friends Brock, Misty, and my best pal Pikachu in a forest. We were looking for a certain Pokémon. As we were walking through the forest, the trees were starting to glow blue. "Whoa. What's this?"
"Maybe it's the Voice of the Forest." Misty said.
"Come on!" I ran ahead of the others. Pikachu ran with me.
"No wait!" Misty followed after me.
"Hey! Shouldn't we stand still..? Uhh, wait up!" Brock ran with me too.
As we kept running ahead, we saw a very bright light that was at the center of the forest. We gasped as we saw it and ran towards that light. As we got closer, the light vanished and there were bodies of... giant being things.
"Oh wow. What are they?" I looked.
"I don't know." Misty got closer and bent down on her knees.
"Are they okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. They're still breathing." she nodded.
"I'll go get Diana for some help." Brock said as he left back to Arborville.
"I wonder what that light was?" Misty asked me.
"I'm not sure." I looked around and then I heard a small sound coming from one of them.
"Mmm..." the white being was moving a bit.
"Hey, I think she's coming around." Misty said.
I got on my knees and watched her waking up from her slumber. "Hey, take it easy. You're gonna be okay."
~Aqua's POV~
"Mmm..." I moaned softly and hear an unfamiliar voice. It caused me to wake up to human face. "What the..?"
"Hey, are you okay?" the voice spoke out to me.
"W-Where am I..?" I rubbed my eyes to see clearly and saw a boy and a girl staring down at me. "Whoa!" I gasped and sat up quickly. "What's going on here?!"
"Hey, hey, easy! We're only trying to help!" the boy grew upset.
"Ash calm down. She just woke up." his female friend told him.
I looked down to see that my friends were unconscious. "Oh my god, Leo! Guys!" I shook them one by one. "Wake up!"
"Oh dear. What's happened?" an old lady with another girl and a boy spoke as they approached us.
"She just woke up." the boy said.
I was trying my best to calm down. But a yellow Pokemon came up to me and smelled my tail. "Oh?"
"Pika." it wagged its tail and nuzzled my tail.
I let out a sigh of relief knowing that these humans won't hurt me. I looked up to them. "Umm hi."
"Whoa, you can talk?" the boy asked me. "Who are you? And what are you?"
"Relax Ash." his friend said.
"Well, I could fill you in before my friends wake up." I said.
"Don't worry, I brought help." the dark skinned boy said.
~A while later...~
I was brought to a man made village where the humans were staying at and I was drinking a hot tea.
"I'm sorry that it's not much, but it should help." the old woman named Lady Towa said.
"It's alright Lady Towa. Thank you for your hospitality." I bowed to her as I drank my tea.
"And very respectful too." she smiled warmly.
I looked back at the kiddos that found us first. "I apologize for the inconvenient encounter. And I wanna say thank you for helping me and my friends."
"It's okay. We're just glad that you're okay." the boy with his yellow Pokemon said. "So is it okay if we ask you some questions?"
"Of course." I nodded.
From there on, I answered a lot of questions from the kids that helped me and my friends. They were no older than the age of 10, but they're pretty experienced explorers which I gave them my respect. Later on, all my friends woke up and joined us for a cup of Lady Towa's tea. As we were all talking, I realized something was missing.
I gasped. "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Lady Towa asked.
"Celebi! What happened to Celebi?!" I grew worried.
