Connor's P.O.V
School at it's best is boring. Sadly that's on a good day, on a bad day school can be downright miserable. Occasionally I learn something useful but most of the time I'm pretty sure I'm just sitting around frying brain cells. So to say the least I was happy, when I found out I wouldn't be going there for a while. It was all part of the big move, new house, new town, new school that I would not be attending until the fall. Most kids my age are bummed when they find out their moving, but to be honest I couldn't care less. I mean I don't really have any friends here, not that I couldn't make any just that I've never really needed any. I'm not anti-social or emo or anything, I'm just kinda used to being on my own. My parents are usually working and I don't have any siblings so I guess I got used to entertaining myself. That being said anything else I could miss we're taking with us.
One long car ride later and we had arrived. The new house wasn't anything to brag about but it wasn't bad either. At three bedrooms and a respective basement and attic it was perfect for a family our size. Still mom and dad had gone to work and being in the new house alone was giving me the creeps, so I decided to go and have a look around outside.
Our house is set against the mountains, separated only by a thin line of forest. I was actually a bit excited to begin exploring them and seeing what kind of Pokémon lived here. I'm not really a trainer myself, it never really appealed to me, but I am really interested in Pokémon, and Arceus only knows what kind of Pokémon lived in this forested mountainside.
Suicune's P.O.V
I felt the northern wind at my back as I raced along the mountainside. The evening sun felt warm on my face letting me know that summer was here. Stopping at the peak of a small arch, I gazed down into the valley. This would make a good place to rest, I had been running for many days and I felt overcome with exhaustion. As I made my way down from the mountain and into the forest, I felt the familiar detachment that came with being a Legendary. The other Pokémon regarded me with a sense of uneasiness, as if expecting me too level the forest on a whim. Little did they know that most Legendary's weren't actually like that, at least me and my brothers aren't…or at least I'm not. Admittedly I was probably the odd one out, most Legendary's didn't care much for interactions with other beings. Perhaps I was the only one who ever felt …lonely.
Shaking off the thought I made my way to the little lake at the base of the mountain. Despite being able to cleanse water of impurities upon touch, I found that that I still appreciated good spring water. This particular spring came from deep underground, flowing from a hole that it had long ago punched out of the side of the mountain. This in fact was one of my favorite places to rest, and I had made a little detour to come here.
As I drank, the cool water washed down my throat, cooling my body and quenching my thirst. Satisfied I laid down along the waters edge. Listening to the water gurgle and splash I felt my mind begin to drift off.
Connor's P.O.V
Walking beneath the trees, I felt a powerful gust roll down from the mountains. The trees swayed in the sudden breeze, making the forest come alive. As I walked I noticed that the closer to the mountains I got, the more uneasy the Pokémon seemed to get. Their odd behavior probably meant that there was something rather unfriendly in the area, and any sensible person would have turned around and gone home. Apparently I'm not a very sensible person.
It took me nearly two hours, but by the time I made it to the mountains base the sun was still high in the sky. The forest had gotten notably quieter, to the point where the only sounds to be heard was the wind rushing between the trees and the faint trickle of flowing water to my left. My mouth felt dry and my throat was parched so I decided to go in that direction.
After a few minutes the forest gave way to a small clearing. Set against the mountain wall was a small lake, fed by water that cascaded out of the mountainside. While I stood stunned by the beautiful sight, something began to stir at the waters edge. I felt my breath catch in my throat as the most beautiful and elegant Pokémon I had ever seen turned to face me. I started slightly as a voice spoke in my head. Oh, hello she said seeming more amused then alarmed at my presence. Are you lost she asked moving towards me. Instinctively I took a step back. Immediately her face fell Oh I see, you're afraid of me as well she sighed turning back towards the lake. I wasn't sure why I had taken a step back; she hadn't done anything that was threatening, or that would have merited fear. Still my heart had leaped into my throat when she had tried to approach me. But now if anything, she looked kind of lonely, sitting there staring at her own reflection in the water and thinking what were undoubtedly profound thoughts. For a moment I thought about just walking away, that would be the easiest thing to do but I didn't or more like I couldn't. For some reason I got the unshakable feeling that if I walked away now, I would regret it. So unable to leave I moved closer.
When my reflection stood next to hers in the water she looked up at me in surprise I thought you had left, aren't you afraid of me. "I was," I say looking back at her. And now? She asks. "Now I'm optimistically cautious. You're not going to eat me are you?" I laugh nervously, sitting down at the waters edge next to her. Maybe she says and it takes me moment to realize that she was joking. "So, why are you sitting here all alone?" I ask folding my legs beneath me in a more comfortable position. I'm travelling she answers vaguely. "All by yourself?" I ask and she nods her head "Don't you ever get lonely?" Sadness shows in her eyes and she looks at the ground. Right, way to kick out my own teeth. "What about family, do you have any relatives?" I ask attempting to change the subject. I have two brothers, but they travel as well so we barely see each other. I should just shut up now. We do meet up once a year though she continued that is where I am heading actually, what about you? "Na, I don't have any siblings, no cousins either, I'm the only child of two only child's" I say leaning back on my hands. Isn't that, kind of lonely? She asks. "Ya, I guess it is," I say, and I realize that it's the first time I've ever admitted it out loud. I suppose we're both a little lonely she says staring out unto the water. "Well, I don't know about you but, I feel a little less lonely now that I've met you" I say fully realizing how corny it sounds. And I you she said nodding her head gracefully. "So what's your name?" I ask I've got a pretty good idea but no harm in making sure. My name is Suicune she says lifting her head proudlywhat is yours? "Me, my names Connor, Connor Elwood at your service" I say twirling my hand in an exaggerated gesture, slightly nodding my head, since I'm already sitting down. She laughs lightly and I feel myself feel a little less nervous.
After that we talked for what seemed like only minutes but turned out to be hours. Finally the sun began to sink low and I needed to begin the trek back home. Part of my still wanted to stay but in the end rationality finally won over.
Suicune's P.O.V
Wearily I lay down on the forest floor preparing to turn in for the night. Once again I was alone, the boy named Connor had gone home when the sun had started to set. Though he was gone now I still found myself mulling over the many things we had discussed. We hadn't talked about anything of important, mostly menial things, yet somehow the conversation had managed to be something more than trivial. More importantly it had been enjoyable, and with his promise of returning tomorrow I found myself almost too eager to sleep…
Connor's P.O.V
Lying in my bed I stared up at the ceiling, thinking over the days events. I still wasn't really sure what I thought about all of it. It had been …different, but beyond that I had nothing. Every time I think about it I get this weird feeling of anxiety and excitement that wells up from nowhere. I'm not even really sure if I like the feeling or if I hate it. One thing I do know though was something was about to begin, something big, something life changing, and that feeling refused to allow me sleep…
