“Those are bold words for someone in deleting range!” I broke out of my chains and swung around but hit nothing.

“Monika... no...” I took her off the loose and placed her on my lap. How could I have lost her? Why? Why couldn’t it have been me?

My tears fell on her face and slowly slid down onto the ground.

Please come back!

I stroked her face. I could feel the cold with my hand.

Wait... something’s off? I can’t quite place it but something is wrong here?

Then it hit me.

I had normal hands instead of plant hands!

Why? How? What? Ahhh!

I woke up. There was a panicked Drowzee next to me. He probably used Dream Eater! I punched him in the face because he is a douchebag.

I got up and saw that I was in a pretty poorly managed room. I looked to the left and saw....?!?! A wall.

However then I looked left and saw Monika and Radio, both being haunted by Drowzee. I kicked and punched the Drowzee and then shook Monika to wake her up. Instead of anxious her face returned to neutral and she woke up.

“What happened...” I hugged her tightly.

“Thank Arceus. I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost you.” Probably be angry and sad and attack everyone in a rage for the rest of the days.

I woke up Radio. He sung Hallelujah when he woke up.

I explained what happened to them and after we recollected our thoughts, we sneaked out of the room.

It seems we were in some kind of hideout.

I made a gesture so the others knew that they should be quiet and we tiptoed from room to room searching for an exit.

After we searched through all the rooms in vain, we found a staircase. We took one step on the stairs and surprisingly.... There were more stairs, but past those stairs was a big hall with an auction taking place.

“Were they gonna sell us?” Monika whispered. “I think so.” We backed up as we saw no way out.

We walked back to the room we started in and began discussing a plan.

“Hmmm I think we should wait until they come and get us and then we break our way out!” “Seems like a great plan, Biermann!” Radio played the Final Fantasy victory tune.

We waited for our moment and when someone came into our room, we knocked them unconscious. “Okay so this one has a pen, now we just need some paper.”

“Ummm why, Monika?” “Just trust me.” She winked at me. Cute!

“This one has some toilet paper on him, is that okay?” “Yes! Now let me just...” She started writing rapidly. “Done! Now let’s go.” “But what about everyone downstairs?” “Don’t worry about them.” She walked ahead of me, twisting the pen in her hand skillfully. I followed her and to my surprise, everyone was gone.

“Where are all of them?” “Deleted.” “What?” “What?” I’m confused, but whatever, we can escape now!

“What the?” Some goons came into the room holding a cage. They spotted us and took a run from us.

“After them! They seemed to be holding a Pokémon!” We started to chase them, let’s hope we can save that Pokémon!
