“Wake me up before you go go~”

Ugh who is playing music so loud in the morning?

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a tiny flying robot thingy heading towards me.

“Don’t leave me hanging here like a yoyo~”

The music was coming from it, on closer inspection it was a Magnemite. It looked at me and the music stopped.

“WAKE ME UP! WAKE ME UP INSIDE!”

“AHHH THAT’S SO LOUD PLEASE SPARE MY HEARERS!”

“can’t wake up, can’t wake up inside...”

He started playing more quietly.

“Thank you, what’s your name?”

“...Radio~...” he played a bit from Video killed the Radio Star.

“Nice name, do you know where I am?”

"*flute flute*”

“Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you~”

Behind me appeared a girl, who was humming a melody fitting with what Radio was playing.

“Oh my! You finally woke up!”

She hugged me tightly, but I have no idea why.

“I am so happy!” She smiled softly, kinda cute.

“Where am I? What happened?”

“You are in the Poké Poké Literature Club!”

“WHAT?! I THOUGHT IT ONLY EXISTED IN MYTHS! I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED YOU! YOU ARE MONIKA!”

“Hehe yup! You arrived near our door still in a coma 6 months ago. Radio and I have been taking care of you ever since.”

“Where are the others members? And did I have any Pokémon with me?”

“Let’s just say that they are... on a holiday! And no it was just you, with your arms in those situation btw, I didn’t hurt you!”

“Hmmm?” What did she mean? I looked at my arms and to my surprise, they were vines. Then it hit me.

“I remember what happened! I was at the Pokémon league and a strong Pokémon ripped off my arms!”

“Oh no!”

“Oh yes! I don’t know how I ended up here though. Anyway, I want to go now so I can-“

“You can’t leave me.”

“I want to stay but I need to save my Pokémon and friends!”

“You don’t need anyone but me Biermann.”

“H-how do you know my name?”

“I saw you on television at the tournament before it was blown up, that’s probably how you got here.”

“Hmm okay, well you saw my Pokémon then. I couldn’t live without them. I bet you couldn’t live without Radio here.”

“The Magnemite’s not mine, I believe it’s wild actually.”

“All I get are wild thoughts~”

“Would you please let me go? I promise I’ll be back before you know it!” I used my best puppy face.

“I’ll bring back presents?”

“Noone can leave here.”

“*maniacal laughter from Thriller*”

“However if I can come along it will be fine.”

“That’s actually a great idea! You can come along! Could I catch Radio since you haven’t so I think you don’t want it anyway?”

“Sure~”

I caught Radio and Monika and I headed out towards the closest city.

“I got this feeling, somebody’s watching me~”
