I woke up, from a dream, in a weird position. I was in this cramped box, and could barely move. There was a pillow, and I saw some flowers in the corners. I banged on the top.
"Hey! Let me out!" I yelled, but no response.
I used Cut, and sliced through the edges. It still wouldn't budge.
When I pushed, something brown came in. Was it, dirt? I don't know. I decided I could-
There was a sharp pain in my arm.
That's right, the bullet.
Wait, my arm, the wound is stitched up? How? What happened while I was out?!
I pushed up more, and more dirt came in. I pushed it up enough to get a wall of dirt, and enough room for a sitting position.
I'm going to suffocate in here if I don't get out.
I started to dig.
Up is the only way I could think of going. I put the handfuls of dirt behind me, and kept going.
About six feet later, I started to feel grass.
I pushed through, and I saw moonlight. It's the middle of the night.
I pulled myself onto the surface, breathing in the fresh air.
Then I thought; everyone thinks I'm gone.
Everyone I know thinks I'm dead.
F1.
F2.
Isabella.
Stephen.
Emily.
My parents.
Maybe it's better this way-
What am I thinking?! I have to tell everyone. They must be sad.
But, my parents don't even know I'm alive. That means they'll never bother me if they can't find me.
That's right. But what about F1 and F2? I can live with it.
Ok, first, I need to get cleaned up.
There should be somewhere I can go.
I searched around, until I came across the park, until I saw a public bathroom. There was another sign next to it.
As I got closer, I heard people in the girls bathroom.
"April, gimme some soap!" I heard.
"Not until you give me a washcloth, Olivia!"
I knocked on the door.
"Hello? Come in! Your ok!" They assured me.
I came in, and there was steam everywhere, clothes were hung up, and there were multiple stalls, and multiple curtains?
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi! I'm Olivia." A girl said on the other side of a curtain.
"And im April, random stranger." She said from another curtain. She sounded sarcastic.
"I'm..." I don't want my real name to gather attention.
"I'm Sophie." I said. Really? Sophie? Well, I was under pressure. Sophie will do.
"Sophie! Will you hand me a towel please??" Olivia asked.
I grabbed a long white cloth and slipped it through the curtain.
"Thank Youu~" she said.
Is this place used to get cleaned up? If so, I'll put it to good use.
I went through one of the curtains.
There was a Shower head, some bottles, and a towel. Perfect.
I undressed.
Then I turned on the head, and used the soap to get all the dirt off myself.
Next I cleaned out my hair using the stuff in the bottles.
I rinsed everything off, and got out with the towel on.
April and Olivia were in front of a giant mirror, with towels on as well.
"Hi! You must be Sophie. Now for a formal greeting, I'm Olivia." She said, and we shook hands.
"I'm April, nice to meetcha'." April said, still messing with her hair.
I looked at their clothes, and looked at mine.
"What happened? Your clothes.." Olivia said.
I threw them away.
"What are you thinking?! Do you have an extra pair of clothes?!" April asked.
"No." I said.
They both gasped.
"Here, borrow these."
She gave me a light blue plaid shirt with rolled up sleeves, and dark pants that rolled up a bit at the end.
"So.. cute!" They both said. I blushed a little bit.
"Come on! It's morning, and the malls already open!" Olivia said, gathering her stuff, stuffing it in a bag, and dragging me outside. I covered my face from view of others, but very few people were at the park.

F1 POV:
I was running around this park, trying to forget about everything.
There were some people here. Maybe if I find a battle, it'll get all my anger out.
There was this one particular person who caught my eye.
I stopped by the bushes.
This girl was pulling her friend along, but her friend was covering her face. She seems scared about something.
Then, they entered this gigantic building. I would be scared too if I had to go in there. I'll look into that later. I have some more running to do.

Vee 'Sophie' POV:
Olivia dragged me to this store where there was clothes hanging on racks, folded nicely on shelves, and on manakins.
I found this light gray hooded jacket that could shade my face, so nobody will figure out who I really am.
I kept it with me, and found some pants, shoes, a small backpack, and other things for myself.
Olivia and April bought for me. Their so nice.
Once I had on the hood, I was barely recognizable.
"Wow, what a personality." April said.
Olivia jumped.
"Oh no, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry!"
"For what?" I asked.
"We're going on a huge journey, all across the Kalos region!" She said.
"So, we need our first Pokemon to do that." She said excitedly.
I froze.
"Journey? Where will you stop exactly?" I asked.
"At the League!" Olivia explained.
"Come on, let's go!!" Olivia said, dragging April, who was also dragging me.
"Me too? Really?" I asked.
"If you want to! We'll make all kinds of new friends!" Olivia said.
This can be my chance, for my identity not to be a problem. The world is bigger than I thought.
