Chapter 3 Anger and Forgiveness

Luna paced in her Cave from one side to the other. She really hoped Mew would have some good news when she gets back.

After they came out of the Portal, Luna noticed that Nils was not with them. He lost his grip on her tail as he was transformed into a Pokemon.

She still could hear his pained screams as his body changed to that of a Pokemon. But she couldn't see in what Pokemon he was transformed into.

What if he was now an Ekans? Or a Grimer? What if he turned into a little bird or bug Pokemon? He would be easy prey for every predator!

The image of him being attacked and eaten by another Pokemon make her feeling sick. Even thought she herself gets out to hunt for meat regularly.

The was a flash of a pink light behind her and she turned around to see Mew floating there. She had a worried expression on her face as she hovered a bit closer to Luna.

"Mew? What happened? Did you find him? Is Nils alright?" Luna asked in panic by the expression of Mew's face.

Mew got now a little smile on her face and started explaining: "He is alright in the moment. But I think the morning will be rather shocking for him."

Luna sighed in relief at these news. "So... what happened? Why was he separated from us doing the way?"

Mew rubbed the back of her head and said: "Well, as you two fall from the cliff, I hadn't really time to stabilize the way. We were lucky that we landed this near your den."

Luna sat there and absorbed every word from Mew.

The Pink, floating Kitty continued: "He landed in the Kalos region. Nearby Santalune City and was taken to the Pokemon Center by a Trainer."

Luna stared shocked at Mew.

"Kalos region? We are in Hoenn! How do we get him here? And what do you mean he was taken to the Pokemon Center by a Trainer? Was he captured?"

"LUNA!" Cried Mew and silenced the Ninetales. "Calm down! Yes, he is in the Kalos Region, but we can get him once I had some time to rest and regain my power. Yes, the Trainer captured him after he was injured by saving one of the Trainer's Pokemon but he is alright now."

Luna sighed in relief. At least he was in a save location. And when he is with a Trainer, he will be looked after.

"I just hope we can send him back soon. I don't think he wants to stay any longer in this world, or being a Pokemon, as he has to."

Luna noticed Mew was looking around uncomfortably.

"Mew? You can send him back and turn him into a Human again... right?" Luna asked.

"Well... the thing is... you see..." Mew stuttered.

"Wait a minute... are you telling me you can't send him back OR turn him into a Human again?"

"Umm... yes..." Said Mew sadly and looked to the ground.

"WHAT!?" Yelled Luna angry.

Mew flinched at the loud sound and Explained further: "It's because he fell in the portal before I could stabilize it. Then there is the fact he was cursed as he fell through it."

Luna was now less angry and a look of guilty come to her face.

Mew sighed, knowing well Luna would blame herself for it. But she had to still hear it.

"He was cursed to be turned into a Pokemon. A being is always 'Linked' to his original world. But as he started turning into a being from our world on the way here, he lost the connection to his world. Our world... 'adopted' him as a Pokemon. The trace to his original world is gone and even I can't open a portal without knowing which world is his."

Luna was about to speak but Mew held a paw up to stop her.

"And before you ask, I could only find you because I followed your 'trail' to his world. But since you are back here, I will not be able to find it again. And without a connection to his original being, I'm not able to just turn him back. He is now truly a Pokemon of this World."

Luna's ears lied against her head and she whimpered as tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

"It's my fault... it's all my fault..." she muttered to herself.

Mew gave Luna a hug and said: "Luna... it is not your fault. He knew the risk of what could happen as he touched your Tail and saved your life. He would feel even much worse when he had you allowed to fall. And I think he is much more able to adapt to not only his new body but to this World as well as you give him credit for."

Luna looked Mew in the eyes. The tears where still there but a little less sad.

"We should try to get some sleep. He is in the moment too far away for me to make a stable telepathically connection."

Suggested Mew. Luna nodded in agreement and laid down on the stone floor. All this stressing made her sleepy.

She curled in a comfortable position and Mew got on her back. soon, they both fall asleep.

Meanwhile: Santalune City Pokemon center

In Room 016 stirred a little green Gecko-like creature.

"Groan..."

"I must stop to fall unconscious." I thought to myself. "It' can't be healthy..."

I felt with my left hand around myself and I could feel the soft mattress under my body and the blanked that covered the top half.

As I tried to move my right hand, I could feel something warm squeezing it. I opened my eyes slowly to not be overwhelmed from the light of the sun that shines thought the window.

I looked to my left and saw Kitsune sitting beside my bed with her Head on the bed an one of her paws squeezing my hand. As I shifted a bit more her eyes fluttered open and she saw me awake.

"You are awake!" came her surprised cry and she started to hug me I groaned in pain and she immediately let go of me.

"Sorry, sorry! Does it hurt much? Do you need anything? Some water to drink?"

I got in a bit more comfortable position and saw my torso being bandaged.

I looked to Kitsune and said "No. But thanks. What happened? The last thing I remember is your Trainer coming through the bushes."

The Braixen looked a bit uncomfortable and avoided eye contact with me. Something was definitely wrong...

"Kitsune? What happened?" I asked slowly. Scared by the possible answer.

She sighed and started to explain: "After you were hit by this Toxicroak, I woke up and knocked him out. You were really bad hurt and poisoned. Calem, my trainer, came through the bushes and looked you over."

"Ok, so far I remember." I thought

"He feared you wouldn't make it to the Center in time and we didn't had any healing potions with us at the time. But then I remembered something..."

She stopped there and I could see she was scared to continue.

I put my right hand on top of her paw which still was holding my left hand. She looked me in the eyes and I assured her with a smile she can continue. She was squeezing my hand a bit tighter and continued.

"Calem had a Heal Ball. It is a..."

"A special kind of Pokeball that Heals the Pokemon when it is captured with it." I interrupted her.

She looked surprised that I know something like that. I think she didn't expected a "Wild" Pokemon to know such things.

My eyes widened as I remembered what had happen. They didn't had any Healing Items so Calem used the Heal Ball.

"He caught me with the Heal Ball..." I whispered and Kitsune cringed and again avoided my gaze. She must think I'm angry with her or something.

"Kitsune. I'm not angry with you. Or Calem. I understand there was no time to look for another Option. You and Calem saved my life. For that, I'm grateful." She looked back at me and I smiled at her.

She had tears in her eyes.

"That's not all..." she said.

I was a bit confused. "What do you mean?"

"This Heal Ball... was defect."

"Defect? What do you mean with defect? A bit more detail would be nice." I asked a bit irritated now. I hate it when someone just says two words and expect the other one to understand everything.

She cringed again and explained further.

"When a Pokemon is caught in a Pokeball, It will have some kind of 'bond' with this Ball. It is like a tugging feeling that makes you want to stay near it."

"That sounds Kinda dark." I thought. "But it would explain why Pokemon don't just run away from their Trainers."

"Normally a Trainer has the option to let his Pokemon free by releasing them from the Pokeball. But this Healing Ball doesn't have this option. Which means..."

"I'm stuck with you and Calem..." I finished for her.

"Well... at least until we can find someone who can maybe repair the Ball. But the only ones who could help are in Laverre City. There is the Pokeball Factory for the Kalos Region. When they can repair the Ball, Calem can release you."

I took a deep breath to calm myself. That's really a lot to take in. I got transported to the Pokemon World. Transformed into a Pokemon. Nearly died because of some overgrown frog and now I was captured by a Trainer. But not only any Trainer, it was the Male Protagonist of the X/Y Games... and I didn't even had Breakfast yet.

"... my life has gotten weird..." I thought after this little Recap.

The door to my room opened and the Audino from last time came in with a tablet that hopefully had my food on it.

"I see, our Patient is finally awake. Are you trying to run again?" Asked the nurse a bit harsh. maybe still annoyed that I run the first time.

Well, sorry for waking up in a unfamiliar body, unfamiliar room and all in all unfamiliar world!

I didn't say that out loud. Don't need them to think I'm crazy... well, more crazy as they probably already think I'm.

I rubbed sheepishly the back of my head and said: "Sorry for that. I was in an unfamiliar situation and didn't know how to react."

The Audinos expression softened and she come over and placed the tablet on the bed. "It's ok. I understand. But really, have you never been in a Pokemon Center before?"

I thought about that: "I don't think the games are counting..."

"No. That's my first time." I said.

"Like many other new things... how does I use the toilet now?" I thought.

The Audino removed the Top of the Tablet and there was some kind of dog bowl with brown cylindrical pellets. They looked like the stuff from the Anime. I wasn't sure If I could eat them, but I was so hungry, I didn't care. I took one of the pellets in my hand and took a bite from it.

It doesn't tasted so bad and I soon had another one in my mouth. Then another and another. As I was eating, Kitsune and the Audino talked with each other. I didn't listened to them and concentrated on the food. It tasted like meat. I would say chicken.

There were just a few pellets left as the door opened again and Calem came in. He looked at me and smiled.

"I see, our newest Team member is feeling better by now." He said.

Kitsune cringed again. Probably still thinking I was mad at her and Calem.

I sighed and looked to her. "Kitsune. It's alright. I'm not mad."

She looked to me and asked: "How can you not be mad? You can't return home until the Pokeball is repaired."

"I'm still far away from home. Hell, It is not even in this Region. I landed here by accident. And until I can find M... a friend of mine, I'm stuck in this Region. I even think it's a good thing I'm part of your team now. Saves me the trouble to survive in an unfamiliar wilderness." I chuckled a bit.

Kitsune had now a smile of her own.

"In this case, let me be the first one to say 'Welcome to the Team'." She said and streched her Hand out. I took it and shook it.

Calem watched the conversation of us and came over. He petted me on the head and said: "Welcome to the team dude. You gave us quiet the scare back in the forest."

I blushed a bit at the petting.

"Well, the nurse said you should be fine enough to walk around. I would like to take you outside with me so you can meet the rest of your fellow Team members."

He said and took me out of the bed. It felt weird being lifted like a child. He placed me on his shoulder and held one hand on my back to prevent me from falling and started walking out of the room.

"I wonder what Pokemon he has on his team. I just hope I will get along with them." I thought.
