"Sorry I was no help, you sure there's nothing else I can do?" Brendan asked as Hilbert prepared his Braviary for flight.
"Yup! Besides, I'm kinda used to not finding him Having a little tour of Hoenn with the champion was pretty nice though!" Hilbert laughed.
"It's the least I could do."
"Thank you for everything you did help me with though." Hilbert smiled. Suddenly a sharp cry pierces the air.
"I think it's coming from the river!" The two boys ran down the slope to the riverbank, where a small Zigzagoon was trapped on a rock. It cried out as it's small paws started to slip, struggling to regain footing. Brendan reached for a Pokeball as Hilbert ran past.
"NO TIME!" He dove into the water, swimming against the current to the Pokemon. He scoops it up and paddles back, letting it jump onto land. He puts his arms on the bank, resting his head on the bank. The Zigzagoon nudges him with it's head and runs off. He sighs with relief.
"Nice job! Although you didn't have to..." Brendan's voice trails off as he looks over and his eyes widen. He starts toward Hilbert, racing to get to him. "GET OU-" His voice is cut off as water breaks and a stabbing pain shoots through Hilbert's leg. He doesn't have time to see the attacker before hes pulled under, the deafening sound of the water racing past his ears drowning out all thoughts. He feels like he's spinning, but he has no idea which way is up anymore. The attack lessens and he breaks for air, but not before the pain of it surges through his leg. He thinks he sees a flash of yellow and blue before he's pulled back under. Time stops again before the grip lessens once again, sending him back up to the surface. He pulls himself ashore and looks down to the water, where he sees Brendan's Swampert wrestling with a Sharpedo, the water below them dyed with blood. He can faintly hear Brendan's voice yelling commands-Healing wish? Latias? - before everything went black.

Nate stared down at the floor. "Well, that sounds terrifying. You ok?" Hilbert laughed and nodded.
"Well, yeah! Otherwise we wouldn't be talking!"
"Well, y'know, I mean mentally 'n stuff."
Hilbert laughed to himself again. "As far as I know!"
"You seem pretty chipper for somebody who nearly died." Nate said with a smirk.
"Barely felt it!" He says, smiling. There is a knock at the door and Bianca pops her head in.
"Is he ok?" She asks. She sees him sitting up and gasps. "CHEREN, HES AWAKE!" She yells and runs in, giving him a huge bear hug. Cheren races in after her.
"Bianca! He might be hurt!"
"Cant...breathe...."
Notes:
SCHOOL, A CRASHED COMPUTER, AND WRITERS BLOCK ARE NOT GOOD THINGS TO HAVE AT THE SAME TIME.
But I got the computer thing resolved so *shrugs* that is one less excuse.
