Chapter 23 - The adventure begins! (2)

"Let's begin, shall we begin?" Nature states rather then asking me. Nature; who I will be calling 'N' from now on. Then proceeds to wraps their roots around my feet and works all the way up to the leaf at the top of my head. It is a powerful synthesis but not like Hikari's at all, similar yet so different, it's soothing, sure, but it's like the sap, I can't breathe and I'm being crushed under the weight of the roots. After about a minute of this I am then slowly placed down on the grass in a lying position. I was placed down as if I was a fragile piece of glass that was going to shatter at any second. "Th-Thank you.... N..." I say before I slip into unconsciousness.

The next morning...

"Hey, May, look a wild Grovyle!" A young voice said. "Where- Oh my! It's hurt let's take it back to camp!" An older yet young girl spoke in surprise. I could hear them and I tried to open my eyes, but failed, I then turned to muffled noises. "Mmmh!" I tried to say. I then successfully opened my eyes and saw them. I was freaked out completely and scurried backwards. I then remembered Kurai's training. I use telepathy to talk to them. "Who are you two?" I asked in fear. "Oh wow!" The young one said. "You can use pychic powers?!" The older one said. "Remain calm Hailey, these are mere children." Cosmic Gem instructed me. "I know." I replied as I recollected myself. "My name is May and that's my younger brother, Max." The older girl answered my unspoken question. I then stand up slowly to meet with them and nod in acknowledgement. "My name is Hailey. I was just healed and have been resting for the past day to regain my strength. This is because I have a journey ahead of me and I'm not sure how long it will take." I explained to them. "I thank you for the concern though." I said with gratitude.
