The One With This Courage

The Shot

F1 POV:
I was talking with F2 about battle, type disadvantages, and new moves, and Stephen was talking with Emily about herbs and Pokémon types, when I heard something faint, like a 'pop' sound. F2 heard it too. It came from the distant town, by the Plains. The town started to light up. Vee?
Stephen and Emily didn't notice, so F2 and I made for the bridge. It was almost pitch black outside. Not even the mere glow of Cut could help.
We finally heard the Rapids of the river, and followed it to the Canyon.
We made it, but, the bridge wasn't there. We need to find it. "Go that way. I'll search this way for the bridge!" F2 said, and we set for separate ways to find it.

F2 POV:
I ran slower than usual, making sure I don't miss the bridge.
I finally got sight of a post, and a boarded line that lead to the other side of the bridge.
I was about to signal F1, when I heard a creaking of boards on the other side. Was it Vee?
"Vee, is that you?" I said.

Vee POV:
I was about to cross the bridge, when I heard;
"Vee, is that you?" From the other side. F2!
"Y-yeah, it is." I said, and I kept crossing, keeping my hand on my shoulder. It was hard to balance.
"What happened, in the town?" He asked.
I was about halfway across.
"Nothing.. bad.." I said.
"You sound exhausted! Something bad must've happened!" He said.
I was close enough to see his outline in the re-appearing moonlight.
"Well.. at least nothing bad happened.. to anything.. or to anyone else.." I said.
"What do you mean?" He asked. And I came right in front of him.
"I'm..." I trailed off. And I felt like I was covered in ice. My arm was numb, and I could see F2's face when he saw me, and my shoulder, clearly.
My legs trembled, and I finally couldn't hold myself up. My legs gave in, and I fell forward.
I could feel F2's arm catch me across my chest, and he Yelled for F1, Stephen, anyone.

Then Everything Went Black.
