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

The Final Stop In Unova

The town we had entered held a mix of different types of buildings; from houses, to business locations, to grocery stores and shops. Many of these places held one terrible thing in common: they were on fire. Some were still standing, while others were in crumpled heaps on the ground. Only a small number of buildings were intact, untouched by the attacks.

A couple of people were outside, running and screaming as smoke ascended into the night sky.

June, Robin, and I stared in shock at our surroundings, our coats hanging from our shoulders.

The ground of this town was broken apart in many spots, as if something with great power had collided with it or exploded there.

Kiwi and Kyurem had left plenty of destruction in their wake.

I looked up a stairway that led to a walkway high over this small town.

"What has Kiwi done?" June cried. "We have to help put out the fire!"

"Help?" Robin replied. "The fire department and police haven't even arrived here, yet. We'll be fighting this on our own!"

"We can't just leave this town burning!" June tried. "Maybe we can help out!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

An explosion went off from a short distance away, and the three of us screamed and backed up.

"That sounds like a really dangerous idea," Robin said. "We might end up injuring our Pokemon and ourselves!"

"Then what do we do?" June inquired.

"We need to find help! Charizard is really hurt!" I insisted. "I can't chase after Kiwi if my Charizard is out! We can't depend on just Dragonite!"

"But, we don't have time to waste on waiting for Charizard to recover, Gary," Robin told me. "I think Dame Hydraen can hold all of our weight."

I shook my head. "We'll only slow her down. But, you're right... We don't have time to waste. Even talking right now while this town is burning before us is jeopardizing lives. We have to do something!"
"But, what? Help this town, or continue after Kiwi?"

I stared at him, unsure of how to answer.

The sounds of the blades of helicopters made the three of us turn to the sky.

A pair of helicopters descended upon the town, one of them colored white and purple, the other one being white and gray. They were both from two separate news stations. The sounds from their propellers increased as they got even lower, whipping up a strong wind at us.

Hard, rapid footsteps were just barely heard, making me turn towards them.

A towering man was headed for us, dressed in an open white jacket, his white T-shirt tucked into his blue jeans. He stopped before us, scowling. "You kids are pretty stupid, you know that??" he shouted over the helicopters. "Standing in the middle of this fire like this! What's wrong with you all? Come on!" He ran past us and then looked back as we stood still, watching him.

Robin, June, and I turned to each other and then back to the man.

"Come on!" he yelled at us as he continued to run.

At once, we ran after him, following him past flaming buildings until, shortly, we turned a corner and I saw, with relief, a Pokemon Center before us!

The man ran towards the building and through the electronic front doors as they opened for him, waving his arm at us, encouraging us to follow him.

The three of us quickly entered the building after him with grateful sighs, glad to be there.

The inside of the Pokemon Center was packed with people. There was hardly any room for the three of us to move. Many people were talking urgently with one another, everyone looking up at the news that was taking place on the television hanging from the ceiling.
