Chapter 6: Accidents ....I was smothered in endless darkness as I kept running further and further, trying to get away. No matter how fast I was, it was faster. I looked behind me, but the blood red silhouette still crept closer; its twisted black smile growing bigger each second. A whisper came from behind me, "Your fault....." I shut my eyes tight and kept on running. The voice came back again, taunting me, "Your fault... Your fault...!" More and more hushed tones joined in, surrounding me as they repeated those words over and over, each time getting gradually louder. Soon my head felt like it was about to split open from the sound of t

Chapter 5: Back on Track It seemed too soon before they called my name. I dragged myself up and clenched the edge of the counter. They couldn't have fixed her that soon... which meant. . . "Aline is going to be just fine!" "W-what?! Really?" I let out a sigh of relief and smiled as the nurse nodded, handing her pokeball back. "Her wings took most of the damage, so she won't be able to fly for awhile. Other than that Aline is still fine to fight!" "I'm just glad she's okay...!" I sent Aline out of her Pokeball, making sure she was put on top of my shoulder. "You feeling better? You really had me worried there!" "Heh, I know, sorry. To

Chapter 4: Sorrow and Success I stared up at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep. It wasn't that sleeping in the pokemon center was uncomfortable, I just couldn't stop thinking about the incident with Zach. I didn't even know Pokemon could die so easily, let alone die at all. Does this mean that the entire team is constantly at a risk of death just by journeying with me? If that's the case, why would they come in the first place? Do they even know? Although a million unanswered questions raced through my mind all at once, there was one thing that I knew for sure. This was all my fault. I woke up the next morning, surprised I was able to fal

Chapter 3: Caves, Caves, and More Caves "Oh come on, we have to go through another cave?! I was hardly in the last one for two minutes and I couldn't stand it in there!" Cole groaned and crossed his arms, a sour look on his face. I wasn't too enthusiastic to go back into a cave either, but I figured this one would be a short enough walk that even a stubborn Pokemon like Cole could bear through it. But since when have I been right with my predictions on this journey so far...? Oh right, NEVER. "Well, I happen to like caves," Aline said. "Besides, we gotta get through here to go to the next town, right Margaret?" "Unfortunately, yes. And si

Chapter 2: As if it Couldn't Get Any Worse... I watched the pokeball closely as it wriggled back and forth. Once it stopped, I threw my fists up in victory. "YES! Guess who caught her first pokemon, Cole?" I bragged, putting a hand to my hip. "Not so amateur now, am I?" "Ah, big deal. Anyone can hurl one of those things at a pokemon. And just for the record, I can handle a journey just fine without a teammate. Besides, I thought you were only training me." I crossed my arms. "I'm not that stupid, you know. If we're gonna be taking on the league, we'll need a team. So whether you like it or not, you'll be having some company along the trip

Chapter 1: A Flaming Hatred I sat bored in front of my TV, watching some shiny-hunting show my friend told me about. Even though I've told him thousands of times that I didn't like these kinds of shows, he wouldn't stop bugging me about it until I saw it. When it was finally over, I was honestly surprised I hadn't fallen asleep by then. "Margaret!" My mom called me from downstairs. "Your friend Trevor is here!" I groaned, knowing that he was here to talk on and on about how cool today's episode was, even though to me it was just a bunch of people aimlessly wandering around a swamp for a mis-colored Gyarados. "Coming..." I dragged myself d
