PMD: Heroes Of Light (Book One: Rising Heroes)

Chapter One: Awakening

"Hey, please wake up," Autumn's eyes opened slowly to see a blurred face looking down at her.

She rose up from where she was lying down and blinked again and saw it was a cat-like creature she recognized it as a Litten. It wore a bright orange scarf around its neck. "Are you alright? You were unconscious when I found you".

"Where am I?" she asked and then looked around to see if there was a person nearby who spoke.

Looking around she saw not a single human. Her gaze returned to looking at the Litten.

"Hey, are you alright?" the Litten asked again.

I quickly realized he was talking to me.

"Gah! You're a talking Litten!? How can you be talking?!" Autumn said in shock and slowly backed away.

"Wait! I didn't mean to scare you," he said, making her relax just a bit, "It's just... I've never known anyone that's seen a talking Litten before".

"I know what a Litten is!" Autumn snapped and quickly regretted doing it.

"I just...I never thought they could talk...," she said trailing off.

How am I even able to talk to him? I'm a human. They can't speak to Pokemon...

"You're very strange for an Eevee. Are you sure your alright?" the Litten asked for the third time in a row. He really did care for my safety.

Autumn looked at herself in a puddle nearby and saw that he hadn't been lying, she was an Evee!

An Eevee, just like he had said. How can this be? How could this happen?

"Hey, you haven't told me what your name is. What are you called?" the Litten asked her, Autumn hesitated.

"I'm called Autumn, that's what they call me back home..." she replied and trailed off as she grew nervous again of remembering where she was now.

Maybe I should tell me later about being a human, he'll think I'm weird and won't help me out of this mess.

The Litten grinned at her. "You can call me Blaze, that's what everyone calls me". Autumn nodded

"It's a great name, did your mother give you that name?" Autumn asked.

Blaze shook his head. "I never met any of my parents, I was adopted and raised by my guild's leader, everyone calls her Snow".

"What is she like?" Autumn asked.

"It's hard to say. She's kind and wise...but sometimes she can snap. It's tough when she's like that, but she's not a bad pokemon".

Blaze's attention got sight of the sun that was about to set beyond the forest's reach. Blaze started to look worried.

"Hey...Autumn?" Blaze asked and turned back to face Autumn.

"What is it?" Autumn asked. Blaze hesitated for a moment. "Do you have a place to stay?"

Autumn shook my head. She didn't really know how far away from her home was. Or if she was an entirely different world ruled by Pokemon.

"Will you join me as a member of my team at the Edge Guild?" Blaze asked.

Autumn blinked in surprise and then became confused. "Team? The Edge Guild? What exactly do you mean by that?"

Blaze pointed towards the direction of the cliff. Close to the edge, she saw the whole forest with her own eyes.

It's so beautiful, I don't think I've ever seen a forest look this amazing before. Further away she could see a huge tree in the distance.

"If you decide to join me, it won't be long before we will be soon at the Edge Guild. That's where I was going before I stopped to see you unconscious in the meadow. The Edge Guild is where the best Pokemon teams gather to serve a leader of the guild——".
