Prologue

Unknown POV

I fell the nostalgia wash over me as I step foot back into the canyon I had once called home, as bitter sweet as it had been. It seems so different now, yet the sting of all of the hate I'd had to endure still lingers in the back of my mind. Why had I chosen to come back here now? It was obvious. One last goodbye. I had no reason to come back, as much as a part of me wanted one.

A single tear drips from my face, actually catching me by surprise. I'm crying? What reason did I have? No longer did I feel the same anger I had felt back then, I didn't even feel all that sad. But then I soon understood, it wasn't this place I was sad about, it was the one person that lived within it. The fact that I'd never see her again. She'd been my only reason for continuing back during that time, and yet.. here I am, saying one last goodbye.

A gust of wind blew through the path I was walking along, causing my hair to blow in front of my face, blocking out my eyesight. I soon went to brush it away, though just as I did, I saw her standing in front of me.

Tall and as majestic as ever, a lycanroc stands in front of me, the low wind making its short fur look softer than it had ever been.

It's gaze is unsure, and I can't exactly blame her. "Kylos?" I soon hear her bark, and a smile formed on my lips at her question.

"Of course, you didn't forget what I looked like, did you?" Crouching down so that I was at her level, I held my arms outstretched in an attempt to break the tension.

Thankfully, she took the hint, and soon I let out an 'ugh' as the pokemon barrelled into me at high speed, nearly knocking me to the ground. My arms hug her tightly, not wanting to let go, and I soon feel her wet tongue on my face as she greets. Maybe another time I would have objected and pulled away, but if anything, I pull her in closer, wanting the moment to last forever. Wishing things could be like they always had been.

I can't remember how much time has passed, all I know is that she is the one to pull away. "Dear... Why are you here?"

The question I'd been dreading. "I'm... leaving."

A raise of an eyebrow from her left me feeling even more guilty. "Leaving? You leave all the time, so I don't understand why you're acting so differently."

"No." Standing back up to my full height, I close my eyes with a sigh. "I'm leaving Alola."

Her eyes instantly filled with shock, a quick bark escaping her mouth. "But why? You have you're friends here, don't you? Even then, you could always come back to the pack... things can be different."

I know she doesn't truly believe that, she was simply trying to give reasons for me to stay, making me feel even worse. "We both know they wouldn't be. They couldn't accept me back them, so I doubt they'd even give me a chance now. Please, mom. I need to go and find a place that feels right for me, that's why me and Lela are leaving together. We're going on a ship first thing tomorrow... And I doubt I'll ever be coming back."

"So that's why you came... To say goodbye, is it? So I don't just think you died in a ditch somewhere?" Her words are bitter, ears twitching as she starts to look away from me. A sigh later, her gaze is on me once more. "I... I understand what you have to do. I know it would be cruel to make you stay when your path leads elsewhere, I know that. But it still hurts."

I clench a fist in frustration at her words. "I just wish it didn't have to be this way, but I'll never forget you, I promise."

"I know." Is the last words I get before she turns in the opposite direction and runs, soon disappearing into the distance. I feel cold, like I part of me has just been ripped out.

Turning back the way I came, more tears start to form, but I force myself to suck it in, put on a brave face.

Did I truly want this? Maybe. I can't really understand why I want any of this, all I know is that I'd just be a danger if I stayed.

A part of me thinks back to the chain of events that lead me to this moment, and as I think, I'm actually surprised that it's only been a few months since all of this happened to me. No, this started long before that. I quickly remind myself as I walk. I guess this story is a lot longer than I remember it being.

I have time, I guess I can reminisce on it for a while.

Hello people! It's been a while, hasn't it? Not sure how many of you that read this will actually have read my previous story, but to those of you who did, hello again! ^.^ God, it's been more than a year since I wrote the final chapter of 'Someone Like Me', and I feel like I'm finally ready!

Though, this story is going to be quite different from that one. Well, mostly due to the fact that this is a Pokemon story instead of a Gravity Falls one. And the fact that no canon characters will be appearing in this fic... Well, not as of right now. There might be a cameo or two, I dunno, I haven't got it all figured out yet.

This is a story about my Pokemon OC Kylos, and his adventure throughout the Alola Region. I guess you could call this prologue more like the ending to the story then the start? I don't really know why I chose to do it this way, just role with it.

Next chapter will take place a pretty long time in the past, and should answer a few questions... or just leave you even more confused. Welp, I should be back in a few days with an update, see ya!
