Collision of the Truth

Chapter 4 - Union

When Clarissa looked up at the sky, she saw a helicopter flying out of the island, causing her to call out to Gou, Misty, and Alex.

"Oi, we have a helicopter up there, we have to go back, we can get SOS," Clarissa said to her group. When said person mentioned this, Alex calmly placed her hand on her shoulder.

"If we go back, the helicopters would be gone by now. We've ventured too far inside the forest, and we can't go back now. We'll only waste time." At the mention of this, a figure was seen by the keen eyes of Misty Waterflower, and she immediately dashed over to the figure to see if it was a Pokemon that could heal injuries or if it was a person that lived in Mistica Island since there was only a very small amount of inhabitants in the area.

It was a good thing that since Misty had a bit of training sessions with her sisters, she was able to be flexible to dodge the many trees that crowded the area. After a lot of running, she was finally able to reach the figure and grab it... its cloak?

When the figure tried to run away, that only led to the figure's identity to be revealed. A female with shoulder-length hair that flowed down, with many strands of hair poking out making it look messy, a tattered shirt with a blue sleeveless jacket, shorts that were ripped at the ends, and very dirty running shoes. If you could ask anyone, they'd say she looks like a Pokemon trainer that kept failing at all of her battles. Misty decided to make this quick, and immediately asked for her help.

"I can't help anyone, just give me back my cloak!" the female responded. Misty retracted the cloak from her reach and
gave her a deal. "I'll give it back if you help us at least!"

"Fine! Just don't let Alex see me, please..." the female responded. Of course, Misty was confused by this, but then she gave back the cloak to the female. The female immediately placed the cloak back on, making her identity invisible to the naked eye.

"Don't worry, I'll just say you're an inhabitant, alright?" Misty assured the female. The female responded with a small nod, then followed Misty back to the group- oh wait, Misty ran off so the group most likely went to look for her. She set that assumption to the back of her mind and made her way over to the area where she last saw the group at.

Since the land was a bit messed up considering the fact that it just rained yesterday, Misty could see her footprints since there were very light shoe marks on the mud-like floor. After a while, Misty made it back to the starting point. It was a good thing that Clarissa suggested that the group stayed behind since she also noticed the light footprints.

Once the group reunited, she introduced the female she came across. Well, she didn't say she was of any gender. She just pretended she knew nothing about the female she brought over and that the person wanted to help.

"My name is... Caesar Salad, from the Mistican tribe that inhabits this island..." the female lied. Well, she wasn't hungry, she just mentioned her favorite kind of food as her name. Misty silently chuckled at the memory of Brock using the same name to make a fake identity.

"Well, nice to meet you, Caesar." Clarissa greeted. Alex eyed the female as if she had a feeling that this person's presence was extremely familiar.

"Caesar Salad, eh? That sounds like a funny name to me." Gou commented. Misty nervously sweat-dropped at the mention of this, since she is the only one that knew about the truth of the female's identity. Well, more like her physical appearance, gender, and possibly her career as a former Pokemon trainer.

"Well, no time to dilly-dally, we need to know if there's a way to heal our injuries so we don't lay down all day in pain," Alex said, "So, Caesar, how are you going to help us heal our injuries so we can get off of this island?"
