My chest grew heavy and my palms started to condense.
"Wh-what?" I shivered as I took a step back. Kolt looked at me confused.
"It was just a little joke," he frowned. I forced a smile.
"Yeah, of course," I choked. Kolt raised on of his eye brows.
"So, Ny won the one yesterday, but Spar has what it really takes," he smiled despicably, but friendly at the same time.
"Wha-won what?" I blurted out.
"The battle?" Kolt laughed.
"I never battled before!" I shouted, frustrated and confused. His smile shortly faded then grabbed my hand and into his house. It was like mine, but filled with blue knitted blankets. "OK, what happened yesterday, Megan," he asked slowly while plunging down next to me.
I wasn't really sure what to say. I shut my eyes tight to try and remember. I finally did.
"Yeah! I was with Captin. . . and. . . we ran were in a forest following this kid and-" but just when I was getting more confident, Kolt cut me off.
"What? No! You were with me!" he shouted, shaking me. I slapped his hand silly and continued.
"No! I don't even know you! I know no one! Not my mother, Ny, the old woman, O-Ocean, my sisters! No one!" I cried. Kolt's face was swiped clean. Lifeless. Dull. Scared.
"No," he muttered. "It's. . . you," he breathed. I saw tears starting to form in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and sobbed, "Remember! Please. . ." He seemed so lonely, crushed. I wrapped my delicate hands around his body. His warmth shielded out the cold of my soul, even though the environment I was in was drench with sun. He pushed away from me, his eyes wet with sorrow.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. "I just . . . don't remember," I sighed. I didn't even know this boy, but it still hurt me to see him hurt. He rose. "Where are you going?" I asked.
"Calling the paramedics. Your hurt. Come." He grabbed a square device. It opened as a triangular 3D holograph popped up. I tried to go see, but Kolt opened a pokeball. A lucario popped out. "Spar, take her up," he said. Spar nodded and took my hand gently. He walked me up the stairs and to a room filled with the same posters as mine, but everything was a dark blue and black. Spar tucked me in the thin sheets.
"Thank you," I smiled. Spar bowed and left the room and turned off the lights. There was still a dim light coming through the window, but it was overall a dark room. I turned over and wraped myself in the sheets. I tossed and turned, but after awhile, I finally fell asleep.
I wake up in the hospital. I shoot up.
"Hello?" I squeak, "Is anyone here?" Suddenly, two young men enter the room.
"Well, Megan, your concussion is very serious," said the doctor.
"How serious?" I ask.
"You only have a few minutes with your memory. Then you will be completely wiped of it," the doctor answered.
I couldn't see it, but I'm pretty sure my jaw was hung open.
"What do you mean? I just dropped to my knees in the forest! Nothing serious happened!" I explained. They looked at me like I just said I was a criminal.
"You got lobbed in the head with a volleyball."
What? No I didn't. I was absolutely sure I just collapsed in the forest with. . . Captin. Uh oh. I DID get hit with a volleyball, and that was just a hillusionation. But Captin. . . she had to be real.
"Ok, Megan, time is almost up," the doctor said.
I was too held up to speak, or think in that matter. I started to consider which world was really real, the pokemon one or the human one. I fear I would never found out, and be stuck for eternity not knowing what is real or not.
After a few seconds, everything faded and I woke up, panting. I was still in Kolt's room. Out the window, it seemed like about 3:00. I looked forward and saw the man from the dream. Not the doctor, the man with him.
I must be either dying or going crazy.
I stared at the man a little longer, and found he jumped up in a purple spiral and appeared Ny. I blinked to make sure she it was real. It then hit me. Ny has me under her illusion.
But which world is an illusion?
