The One With This Courage

Part title

Vee 'Sophie's POV:
I made it to the top of a hill, with April and her spiraled eyes.
"Can you be a bit slower? I can't match your kind of speed.." April said dizzily.
"Hey.. Guys... finally.." Olivia said
The wind started to blow, and it almost blew off the hood on my head. I quickly grabbed it. April noticed.
"I'll pull down that hood of yours if you ever do that again!" April said, still dizzy.
"I think we can rest here tonight." Olivia said.
Olivia, April, and I sent out our Pokemon to hang out, and I just went walking.
I pushed through a few bushes, and there was an overhang, overlooking the long trail and a sunset. I couldn't help but sitting on the edge.
"Hello?" I heard a little voice coming through the bushes. Then Froakie appeared.
"Oh, hi Froakie." I said.
"Hi. So this is where you went off to?" It asked. "Yeah. Want to join me?" I asked. It seemed surprised. "Can you understand me?" It asked.
"Of course! But it's our little secret, ok?" I asked, putting my finger to my lips.
"Oh, okay then." It said, and hopped over so it was next to me.
"You know, I haven't seen your face yet. If I get lost, how will I recognize you as my trainer?" It asked, and I hesitated. "You'll see my hood, and I think you'll recognize me as I almost never show my face!" I said.
"Please? I have to know!" Froakie pleaded, and shook my arm. Resist.. Resist.. I can't resist!
"Ok." I said.
I pulled off my hood, and showed my face to the world, as the dead Vee, and living as Sophie.
Some bushes shook, but, I thought it was just the wind.
I put my hood back on.
"So, who are your friends, other than Olivia and April?" It asked.
"You have a lot of questions, don't you?" I asked. Froakie nodded.
"Ok. Well, I did have two other friends. They were fast. We loved to race, until one day, there was an accident." I explained.
"What kind?" It asked eagerly.
"Well, one day I got hurt, and couldn't run. One friend was sad, and the other, well, he didn't know yet because he was on a, trip." I explained. I remember the time I hurt my foot by Team Rocket at the Pokemon center, and F1 was kidnapped. I tried to sum it up with as little violence as possible.
"Could you run after?" He asked.
"Yes, but there were more accidents as time passed." I said, scratching the back of my head.
"Wow, so many adventures." Froakie said.
"Well, I'm about to have more." I said, referring to the journey.
"By the way, what were your other friends names?" Froakie asked. I hope that's the last question.
"Umm, well, that's complicated." I said, seeing that F1 and F2 are just a letter and a number.
I heard something crack.
"Froakie, move back." I said, and it went by the bushes.
I stood up, and there was more cracking. Oh, did I mention the overlook is a cliff top?
I stood up, and there was more and more cracking and crumbling. I realized there was a crack between my feet and Froakie.
"Froakie! Go get Olivia and April. I'll be fine-" I was interrupted by an all too familiar voice.

"That's what you always say, but you always turn out getting hurt."
There was a shadow in the bushes.
"Who's there?!" I asked.
"No need to hide it, 'Sophie'." Id recognize that sarcasm anywhere.
"Sophie, who is he?" Froakie asked.
There was more cracking, then sliding, and falling.
The piece of rock I was standing on was giving out beneath me, and I was about to fall to my, second, death. But someone caught me.
I looked up, which made my hood fall backwards, and I was on the bridge of tears.

It was F1.

"Why.. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. I could tell he was on the bridge of tears also.
"F1, I.." I was literally about to cry, but, I was still hanging onto F1's hand for dear life.
Finally, F1 pulled me up, but when he did, he pulled me into a hug.
"We all thought, you were dead." He said. I could tell he was about to cry.
I put my arms around him, returning the hug.
"Who is he?" Froakie asked. Oh, right..
"Well, this is F1, he's one of my friends." I said.

Suddenly I got a very painful punch in my right shoulder.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" I asked. F1 didn't need to punch me that hard.
"For not telling anyone you weren't dead." He said. He sounded really angry.
"Wait, what?" Froakie asked. Why can't he keep any questions to himself?
"Well, my little first-stage-friend, Who you call Sophie used to be dead." He said with a smirk on his face. I know what he's doing.
He's trying to convince me to come back, but by telling the truth about me, and to make him stop, I'll make a deal to go back. It's not going to work.
I just crossed my arms and turned away.
I could tell he was pissed about that.
"Well what could I say? Waking up underground wasn't so amusing." I said. "I had to dig to the surface with everything I had. So much for being buried alive." I said. I could tell I really hit him with that.
I saw a flash, turned and saw F1 using cut. He was in battle stance. Oh it's on.
"So?" I said, and used Cut also. "Does that mean battle?"
"Wait, you guys, don't fight!" Froakie said.
"Froakie, stay out of this." I said, but when I let my guard down, F1 made his move. I quickly blocked it, and we were both standing our ground.
My feet dragged on the ground. His strength was greater than mine.
"F1, it doesn't have to be this way!" I said.
I was sweating. He was tiring me out. It's his battling style.
"Sophie! What-"
I heard April and Olivia. Froakie went to get them.
I looked over, and F1 took this as an opening. He pushed me with cut so it hit, and I got pushed back about 3 feet away.
"Hey! Stop it! Fennekin, use ember!" Olivia said. It wasn't very effective.
I looked up, and F1 was about to use Water Shuriken on it.
I got up and ran, and grabbed Fennekin just before it hit.
I had Fennekin in my lap, and my back towards it. My back felt like it was stabbed.
"Are you ok?" Fennekin asked, jumping out of my lap.
F1 was strong indeed. He must've been training.
After Fennekin jumped out of my lap, I held my stomach. It hurt so badly.
"I.." I heard F1 say.
Everyone was speechless.
It was hot, but I felt so cold.
"Vee, I-" I could hear his footsteps, but Olivia stood out for me.
"Hey! Don't think a simple apology can fix what just happened. You owe her more than that!" She yelled straight at F1's face. I could tell she was nervous.
F1 turned and ran. He'll probably tell everyone.
April and Olivia went up to me.
"Come on, there's a Pokemon Center down the trail. It's not far." Olivia said.
I took a breath. "Okay." I said.
I managed to get up, but, it was like lightning struck my back. I was gonna fall, but, April caught me by the arm.
"We'll help you." She said.
"Thanks." I said.
One arm was around April's neck, and the other around Olivia's.
They returned their Pokemon, and we set out down the trail.
