Bridging The Gap; The Final Records In Unova: An Autobiography

Encounters Of The Fifth & Sixth Kind

June held her Eevee in her arms, both of them screaming on their way to the nearing ground beneath them.

My arms flailed desperately as I screamed, the ground below rising to meet me.

We all were falling from the top of a high cliff, to our immediate death, June's bag falling fast beneath me, dropping down heavily along with us. June and Eevee were far below me in our fall.

I took a last glance at the river that was several feet away from us, knowing we weren't going to land in it, and I closed my eyes as I realized June and Eevee were mere inches from the ground, about to collide with it in the very next second. My mouth opened wide in a scream as I made an effort to block out the sound of them splattering. When I was out of breath from screaming, I kept my eyes shut tight, my teeth clenched shut like a bear trap, anticipating my painful landing.

There wasn't a sound to be heard.

I suddenly realized that the feeling of falling had ended. A long period of time had passed without a sound being uttered, but I was still too terrified to open my eyes. Am I dead? I wondered. Is this it? Did I die so fast, it was just painless? It's all over now? My face relaxed a little bit, but I still felt like I was hanging upside down. I counted my breaths. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. My eyes slowly opened.

The wall of the cliff we had fallen off of was in front of me, the ground beneath me just a couple of inches away from my face.

I was indeed suspended in the air, upside down. But how?

"Gary?" I heard June's voice cry.

"June!" I said as I tried to turn around, but couldn't move. "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay! Me and Eevee are fine, but what's going on?"

"I don't know," I replied, looking around.

Something tiny and gray appeared from out of nowhere, right in front of my face, staring directly at me with its eyes glowing a light blue.

The creature's sudden appearance made me cry out in surprise.

The little thing made a light sound and raised both of its hands in the air. Both hands had three dots, one the color red, the other green, and the third one was yellow. They all flashed in a strange pattern at me.

"Gary! What's wrong?" June asked. "Who's with you?"

I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't come up with any words.

The creature resembled some sort of a gray alien. It had a huge head with a deep depression on each side, a strange pattern of lines drawn on the front of it. Its body seemed to be a little bit shorter than its entire head. It floated quietly in front of me.

"What are you?" I asked the creature.

June and I were walking through the desert together.

June, me, and all of our Pokemon were eating lunch in the desert.

Cofagrigus wrapped June and I up in their bandages and pulled us down inside of their bodies.

I threw a Poke Ball at a weakened Darumaka.

Cacturne was chasing June and I through the desert.

Sigilyph fired its Hyper Beam at me right before I fell into Eevee's hole.

June leaped over the edge of the cliff to catch her Eevee.

I leaped over the edge of the cliff, holding June's bag, as Cacturne chased after me.
