It took a while, but eventually Jordan and Israel managed to get Rald to fall asleep while they took watch.

An awkward silence hung in the air, as both countries were both embarrassed from the earlier apologizing. Jordan finally muttered, “Israel…what’s your human name?”
Israel blinked. “Pardon?”
“Well, all countries have human names, right? Like Japan is Kiku and America is Alfred. What’s yours?”

Israel scowled. “Why should I tell you? You’ll just use it against me somehow! Besides, I have no need for one, I can’t go outside without you trying to kill me-“

“Ujala.”

Israel stopped. “What was that?”

“Ujala. My human name.” Jordan frowned. “It means light of the universe.” She sighed and released her hair from the bun that was holding it back, letting the choppy brown locks reach her shoulders. “Now what’s yours? I’ve told you mine.”
Israel sighed sadly. He didn’t want to say too much about himself; Jordan could use it to her advantage. But how? his mind argued. She told you her name, now you must return the favor.  Israel grumbled.  “David. I know, real original.”
“France’s name is Francis,” the girl pointed out.

“Whatever. Now can we go to sleep? I’m tired.”
Jordan scowled. “No! Rald needs us to protect him.” She pointed to the little boy, who was peacefully curled up nearby. “He’s just a kid, a human kid at that…it’s our job to protect our citizens.”

Israel glared for a while, but then sighed sadly. “Then I suck as a nation. I failed to keep 6 million of my people safe….and so many more before that. Jordan…” the Israeli covered his face with his hands, body shaking as tears began to fall. “I…I’m scared! I have so many hating me, so many wanting me off the earth and I just don’t know what to do…” he broke off, sobbing uncontrollably.

Jordan watched, shocked. Granted, being a nation was kind of scary, but for someone who could die just by existing it was most likely worse. It was at this moment that Jordan finally felt the guilt she should have felt before. “Oh…Israel…”
She pulled the male into her arms, letting him cry onto his shoulder. “I’m so sorry…” she whispered, hugging him tightly. “I’m so sorry…”

Israel shuddered weakly, afraid. Would the young girl stab him in the back? He was at his weakest! She could most certainly injure him right this second!
Israel forcefully shoved her away, shaking. “Don’t touch me!” he cried, tears still falling. He backed away quickly, bumping into the wall. “You’ll just hurt me!”
Jordan scrambled over. “Israel, calm down-ugh for the love of-DAVID!”

Israel cried out, flailing his hands while Jordan grabbed him. “Israel!” he didn’t respond.
Taking a deep breath, Jordan forced Israel’s mouth to hers.
Israel gasped. She’s kissing me…HOLY SHIT SHE’S KISSING ME! he mentally screamed. His cheeks turned a bright red. After a minute, Jordan let the nation go.

“You calm?” she asked plainly.

Israel nodded.

“Good.”

With that, she turned away, her cheeks as red as the triangle on her flag.

It was when England hadn’t seen Anih in a while that he began to worry.
He, America, France, Russia, and Antarctica were trudging down the endless corridors, searching for the next game of hangman. But it never came. It seemed like Anih had given up on killing them.

God, I hope I didn’t jinx that. he thought.
America took notice of the Brit’s worried look, and squeezed the older man’s shoulder. “Hey.”
England blinked. “Yes?”
“Relax. It’ll be fine.”

England sighed, staring blankly at the path in front of them. “I hope so.”
Antarctica turned. “Can we stop? My legs are killing me.” She groaned, falling to the floor in an exaggerated matter.
Russia grinned and happily plopped down next to her. “I agree,” He added.
England heaved a sigh, following the other’s example.
The moment he did though, his ears picked up a low grumbling sound. It sounded quiet, but was close.

Just my bloody luck.
A young man stumbled forward. His eyes were ebony black in stark contrast to his creamy pale skin and wavy blonde hair. In his arms he carried a brutally murdered polar bear.
“Canada!?” France cried in horror. “What happened to you?”

The Canadian said nothing, only glaring at the group. His polar bear shifted to life, growling and hissing at them. He let the bear go, and all hell broke loose.
Kumajiro sprang forward, digging its claws deep into France’s skull. The man dropped dead on the spot. Canada himself charged at America.
“Canada, bro!” America screamed, attempting to run. But his nimble ‘brother’ caught him, throwing him to the ground and pulling out a knife.

”THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL BE FORGOTTEN!”

The younger brother pushed his knife deep into his twin’s chest, causing America to gasp in pain. “America!” England screamed.
Canada removed the knife and walked away, but England didn’t notice. He was too busy crying over his soon-to-be-dead brother’s body.

“E-eng-g-g-la-a-n-nd…” America croaked.
“I’m here.”
America groaned. “I’m s-sorry….the Rev…olution…” A single tear fell from the boy’s cheek.
England smiled sadly. “I know.” He whispered. "Good night, little brother."

He was gone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Rald got up, the countries were met with a strange surprise.

The boy was tinkering with three strange devices.
“What are those?” Jordan questioned.

“I dunno.” Rald shrugged. “I’ve had them for as long as I can remember. I was told to hold onto them until it was time.”
“Time? For what?”
“No clue.” He responded. “But I’m guessing they don’t really belong to me.” He stopped, as if pondering what to do next. “You want one?” he offered.

Jordan blinked. The device was red, with a cover that opened upwards to reveal a black screen. Pretty little buttons were at the bottom. “Weird.” She muttered, playing with the keypad.

“Is there any way to turn it on?” Israel poked his head in to see the item. He pressed the central blue button.
The screen glowed a pure white and turned on.
“Whoa…” Rald breathed.

The screen showed strange creatures, some reminiscent of modern beasts, others looking like absolutely nothing. “I like that one!” Israel beamed, pointing to a pink cat-like creature.
“Pansy. The orange chick is better!” Jordan teased.
“I like the tree one the best.” Rald injected.
“I wonder who this belongs to…” Rald pushed a random button.

“It’s….MINE!?” Jordan gawked.

Sure enough, a picture of Jordan appeared, only she was wearing different clothes. “ How the hell is that possible!? Wait, it’s not mine!” she stared at the screen. “What kind of name is Sapphire?” Israel pointed at the name.

“It’s your name, Jordan.”

The three whipped around to see Anih and Sura standing there. “What! How did you-wait-what do you mean my name is Sapphire? No it’s not!”
“It is.” Anih replied. “You just don’t remember.”
Rald shifted back and forth on his feet. “Then…if Jordan’s not who she thinks she is, who am I? and who is Iarael?”

“Don’t trust him! He could be lying!” Israel cried.
“Name on time so far that I’ve lied to you at.”

Israel couldn’t answer.

“Rald, your real name is Emerald, and Israel is Ruby. You are dex holders.” Sura explained.
“Dex holders?” the three echoed.
“That is a Pokédex, and you are one of the only people to have them. Please…trust us.” Anih explained.

There was a silence.

“I believe you.” Rald murmured.

There was a flash, and almost instantly, the memories of their journeys came flooding back. It was if they had been awakened.
“Welcome back, Dex holders of Hoenn.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“England please! We have to move on!” Antarctica cried, Russia watching sadly. But England wouldn’t budge.
“I just got him back…And now I’ve lost him again….”
“ENGLAND!”

SMACK

He blinked as the female slapped him across the face. “Get a hold of yourself! We need to keep going.”
England sighed one last time, before slowly standing up. “Let’s go.”
About five steps later, a familiar voice rang out. “Awww, poor Iggy~!”
It was Anih and Sura.

“YOU!”
