Chapter 8: A new found friend
I was running around frantically searching for my friends.
I suddenly lost my footing and starting falling from a cliff and hit the ground hard.
"Oww...ya...that definitely hurt..." I said myself out loud.
I was about to start walking when I saw an injured Pachirisu lying on the ground tied up in a vine.
I was shocked; I ran up to the Pachirisu and used Slash to cut the vine.
"Are you ok?!" I asked it pretty much shouting.
"Look out. There are traps everywhere" he said weakly.
I took a step back rather confused.
But when I stepped back, a small layer of ground broke beneath me and I fell down.
I stood up and tried to walk away from it but I was yanked back.
My foot had landed in some kind of goop.
I tried to pull my foot out but everytime I pulled away I got yanked back.
By this time the Pachirisu had stood up.
"Sticky trap!" He yelled.
He ran over to me.
"I'll help you!" He said practically shouting.
He grabbed my paws and tried to pull me out. But it wasn't working.
"Don't worry, I'll go get help" he said as he quickly ran off.
While the Pachirisu was gone I struggled to get my foot free, but it was no use. I was soon exhausted.
Just then the Pachirisu returned.
"I'm back! And I brought help just like I said I would!" he said.
There were 7 other Pachirisus standing there.
"Now lets get you out" he said just before he grabbed my paws again.
The others lined up by behind the Pachirisu and were ready to help.
"All right brothers, Pull!" He yelled.
I felt myself moving forward, but I could also feel the goop pulling me back. But I was slowly moving forward. All of the sudden my foot was out and I flew forwards. The Pachirisus flew backwards.
I was breathing hard. I then saw all of the Pachirisus standing over me. One of them stepped forward and asked me if I was okay.
"I think I'm okay but I feel really weak" I said.
"Then why don't you come back to our house to rest? It's the least we can do after you helped me when I was in trouble" he said.
The other Pachirisus nodded in agreement.
"Uh okay. Thanks

" I said.
We walked back to the Pachirisu's house which wasn't too far away luckily.
I was laying down on a bed resting when the Pachirisu walked up to me.
"I never got to introduce myself, I'm Flash."
"Ah, my name's Alpha, pleased to meet ya" I said and put my paw out to Flash. We shook paws.
"By the way, thanks for saving me

" I said.
"No problem, you helped me so I helped you

" said Flash.
There was a short pause.
"Hey Flash, I'm just wondering. Why is it always dark in this world?" I asked.
"It's because of him..." He said.
"Who's him?" I asked Flash a little confused.
"Mewtwo...He came and took over this world and made it into a world of darkness. He's planning to conquer the other world too, so he's building an evil army of minions." said Flash.
"The other world...as in...my world?" I asked.
"Ya...Mewtwo is building his army using the pokemon he captures in his traps. That's the other reason I wanted to help you. If Mewtwo came along, and you were still stuck, he would have forced you into his evil army. I thought that you were way to nice of a pokemon to have that happen to you, so I got my brothers and we pulled you out before Mewtwo could find you" Flash said.
"Thanks Flash

" I said happily.
"Don't mention it

" Flash said and smiled.
I suddenly thought of my friends. Where were they? And were they safe?
"I have to find my friends! What if they are caught in a trap?!
I tried to stand up but I fell back down onto the bed.
"You can go look for your friends when you're strong again. But for right now you need to rest." Flash said.
As much as I didn't wanna hear it, I knew Flash was right.
Later Flash brought me a plate full of Oran berries saying that it was supper time.
I accepted the Oran berries gratefully and chowed down.
"How did you know Oran berries were my favorite?" I asked Flash with a mouthful of Oran berries.
Flash laughed and said: "I dunno, lucky guess?"
"Works for me" I replied after swallowing.
We both laughed.
I laid back on the bed, and yawned.
"I'm tired..." I said and yawned again.
"Night Flash

" I said to him right before falling asleep.
I soon began to snore lightly.
Flash smiled and said: "Night Alpha...new found friend

"
You're up Eli
