(Amaria's POV)

My fuzzy mind grasped for consciousness and I could hear muffled noises.

The noise and my mind were getting clearer and clearer and I soon realized I was being shaken violently. I pried my eye lids apart to find a child shaking my shoulder. She looked about six or seven with choppy orange hair and a small ponytail in the back. She had on a black beanie with a white Pokeball symbol on it. She had a mix of fear and concern in her blue eyes.

I sat up slowly, letting the world slow down and stop spinning.

"Are you okay?" The girl asked in a small voice. I opened my mouth to answer but instead leaned over on my huffing afterwards I could hear the girl say. "Ew…"

She handed me a tissue and I wiped my mouth. "Thanks." I mumbled.

I looked at the child and smiled. "I apologize for that, what is your name? Mine is Amaria and this is-. " My eye brows rose and I swung my head around. "Amalric? Purrloin?" I called and stood.

Ama and Purrloin stumbled out of the forest towards us. "Sorry, had to use the bathroom." He turned towards the girl. "Who's this?" I too turned and looked at her. "I dunno."

"My name is Annabel and I…I…" She ran her fingers through her bangs. "I need help. I was out here playing with my Daddy's Pikachu and we were playing tag but…" She waved her hands in circles in front of herself. "I…got lost and I can't find Pikachu. I have to be home by noon but I'm lost and it's almost noon and I can't find Pikachu!" She said frantically, gradually increasing in volume.

I placed a hand on Annabel's shoulder. "Hey, hey, calm down now. Everything will be alright; my brother and I will help you."

Annabel sniffed and wiped her shining eyes. "Okay…"

"Now where is the last place you saw Pikachu?" Amalric asked softly.

Annabel turned and begun walking across the field. "Over here, by the trees."

We followed her and searched the area for a good 15 minutes before I stumbled through some spacey hedges. On the other side was a small opening in the hill, just large enough for a fit man to get through.

"Hey guys, come here!"

Amalric and Annabel joined me along with a bored Purrloin. I ran over to the cave and stuck my ear in. I motioned for the two to keep quiet. I strained to hear something, anything in here. Then it came.

"Piikaaachuuuuu!" The sound echoed to me and I grinned. "Pikachu's in here guys!"

I entered first, Annabel next, and Amalric took up the back.

We swiftly traveled through the tunnel as it gradually got wider. It suddenly opened to a decent sized cavern. It was full of people in these weird, blue uniforms with black, white, and blue 'P's on their chests.

I stopped as they all turned towards us. Their faces didn't exactly scream welcome.

The crowd advanced on us. I turned and pushed us three back through the tunnel, but it was useless, there were more inside the tunnel. We were caught.
