The Crosslands To The Pokemon World

Falling Into Kanto

At first, there was nothing. It was like floating but also being encased in a rock like structure, a feeling of Weightlessness, yet also feeling heavier than a lump of lead. I wasn't sure if I had my eyes open or not, but all I could see was something that is just about indescribable, it was like it was pitch black, but also a brilliant shade of white, and every colour imaginable at the exact same time. It felt both disconcerting and calming all at once. 'So... this is what death feels like huh....?' I thought to myself, silently wishing I could leave this place, and if this truly was death, and go wherever her sister had gone. "...!" I was trying to scream, do something to end this, this, this nothingness! The silence felt like it was drowning my mind, and I was unable to process my thoughts correctly, all the answers getting jumbled up in my mind, like the swirling leaves in the Autumn. the singular thought that was actually getting through to my mind was one lonely word. Though I suppose I can hardly call it a thought but the meaning behind the word changes all of that. Do you wish to know what that thought was? It was this; "SAP!" I silently scream this word, this thought, this... Sibling of mine. A loved one.

Slowly I became semi-aware of a slight chill seemed to creep across my body, and it there seemed to be a slight wind... some colours began to return, things were no longer an indistinguishable blur. Thing's seemed to be mainly blue, a little of white and grey here and there, and there seemed to be a blinding sort of light in the corner of my eye.
"ARYA!" I hear Sap scream, much to the confusion of my already muddled mind, because, as far as I am aware, I'm dead. "Sap?" I whisper, both questioning myself, and breaking down, wanting to feel her hugs again, and cling to her, like I did when I was younger, to be comforted. Breaking away from my thoughts, and my wants, and my needs, I manage, to twitch my finger, the first movement I had been able to make in what felt like an eternity, but could possibly have only been a couple of seconds. my sense of time was warped... badly. I proceeded to make attempts at twitching the rest of my fingers slowly, but surely, I managed, then I tried moving my arms, when they were assured to be okay, I went on to test the rest of my body, finding it to be functioning in the correct way. It felt weird, like how your legs feel if you've been sitting down too long, you get pins and needles and it's annoying and ahhhhh! I do not want pins and needles I am not in the mood for this! It took a further 2 or 3 minutes, but the feeling of wind has gotten stronger, but as far as I can tell, it isn't normal wind. My hair is whipping past my face, but upwards, as if I was falling, the sleeves of my hoodie, that's still tied around my waist arm whipping around wildly too. I pulled my arms to my shoulders, my bag straps still there, and I gripped them tightly, closing my eyes for a moment, fear beginning to settle in again. I hear something over the near deafening roar of the wind, a call of some kind, though I'm not entirely sure what though.
It suddenly occurs to me that I have this ability called turning the heck around, because if the wind is going upwards, then I'm probably going down-...wards..... uh oh, "SAP!" I screech, wanting my sister because I am absolutely terrified of heights. "ARYA?!" I hear her voice yell and I freeze in place for a few seconds, trying to comprehend what I just heard, whether I truly head that voice again, or was it just my mind being deceitful and my own wishful thinking. There's a short pause of silence, where I could only hear the wind whistling, whipping past my face. Of course, the drum of my heartbeat was loud too, and I just waited. Hoping. Then it happens again. That voice. It's there....and for some reason, it was that moment my mind chose to make me believe with all my heart. That. Was. My. Sister. She was near, I could hear that voice I thought I would never hear before. I was teary eyed already, but knowing that I couldn't get too distracted, too emotional, yet, given my current predicament, I snapped myself out of it. I blinked and rubbed my eyes a lot, trying to rid myself of the tears, before trying to figure out where Sap's voice came from because I really wanna know.

"Sap?! W-where are you?!" I was whipping my head around, looking wildly, trying to scan my surroundings for any sign of my sister. "Above you!" I hear her call, and I stop thrashing, and just look upwards, and see her above me, a little to the right, with her arms outstretched towards me. She was falling head first towards me and the ground, her legs bent, and shoulder's wide, trying to at least slow her descent, while also reach me as fast as she could. Something I should be doing too. "At least it seems like we're going to have a slightly softer landing!" she exclaimed, and as she saw my glance of confusion she went on to further say, "There's a lake beneath us!" With that information, my eyes widened, more fear crept into my bones and joints and I mumbled something, Sap only seeing my lips move gave me a look of 'answer or I'll tickle you'. I do not enjoy being tickled. I am answering. "T-that's uh... Lovely... Bar the fact that I CAN'T SWIM!" Realization swept across her face before she smiled, and just said (well... yelled over the wind) "Well then I'll help you!" and that settled my mind, and calmed my nerves. I gave her a quick, determined look, and then managed to flip myself in the air, crossing my arms over my face. I could now see the lake that my sister had mentioned, the trees of a surrounding forest, and a town a little ways off in the distance. 'let's... make a mental note of that...' we're almost into the foliage, I blink my eyes and try not to keep them shut in fear, and then... I hit the water... and it rushes through my ears, the wind suddenly stopping and the pressure change making my ears pop. The wind is knocked out of me, and instinctively my body breathes in, trying to get air back. All I get is a mouthful of water, and another... and another... and soon my world goes dark once more, but not before I heard the second, muffles splash.
