Legends and Suicide Forest
Hey there- What's goin' on? So yeah, random idea. Random game crossover. And random visit to the human world, to a place in Japan.
Specifically, a forest where people go to commit suicide.
I was watching some weird documentary- I have no idea why I didn't change it. But I watched, and it was basically about these places said to be cursed... And this forest, which I am calling Suicide Forest since I can't remember the actual name, was the first they talked about.
I have no idea why the thought of it lingered in my mind for a few days, but it did. And then I remembered my legend thing from another fic, and realized I wanted to somehow expand on it, as well as get Suicide Forest into the story.
I told my friend about how in the forest, sometimes it seems like people aren't really willing to kill themselves- I mean, that's what they said near the end. They also mentioned this one guy, whose body was never found, but that's beside the point.
Anyway, my friend suggested that maybe demons are to blame. Maybe little, invisible demons are whispering in the ears of innocent hikers or campers, making them feel unloved, worthless, or putting bad thoughts in their minds until they kill themselves. I liked it, not directly, but for the fic...
Ah... Yes, so basically Suicide Forest won't come in like, immediately. First, we'll be learning about that curse from my other fanfic... If you haven't seen it, then don't worry because the characters and events are hardly relevant.
I do not own PMD.
Chatot was currently in his secret study, examining a bunch of random books for something new for the prized team, Team WaterKitty, to explore or discover.
He sighed to himself. Why did he have so many different books on the same subject? He'd just found his third book on Manaphy, and he already had found about six or seven on the Time Gears.
Finally, he picked up the final book he had yet to look at. He hoped it would be something that the Skitty and Squirtle had yet to find out about- Otherwise Sally would go stir crazy from just going on rescue missions. She had a tendency to threaten him with species issues... He shivered violently.
Hmm... The Legend of Darkrai's True Existence...
Although the Darkrai incident was long past them, he knew that Sally and Squirtle still probably wondered about him from time to time. So, he opened it up. Though, it would hardly help knowing about his existence if he didn't exist anymore...
"All that you know of Darkrai, the being of shadows, may not be all true. He is a pokemon of shadow, who usually appears in dreams. However, he was not born as such. He was born to be human.
Throughout his human years, he befriended and left many pokemon- However one pokemon always was kept at his side, no matter what. This pokemon was a female Rapidash, who went by Rapid to Darkrai himself.
One day, Rapid found a Translation Stone. Because humans were unable to understand pokemon, as pokemon could humans, she gave it to Darkrai, who was thrilled. He immediately began having two-sided converations with her, but none others.
Eventually, Rapid asked him why he would not only keep her as his only pokemon- But only use the Translation Stone with her. He was obviously shocked, but soon replied that he loved her. Rapid felt the same, but sadly a such relationship between them was frowned upon and forbidden in both of their species' coultures.
Yet, they continued to see each other in secret- Until another human found out. She spread the word of what she had seen... And they were both shunned instantly. Though they refused to keep this simple reason as a reason not to love each other, and instead searched for a way to be together.
They eventually met Palkia. When they learned that he had the power to alter space, and thus make Darkrai a pokemon, they begged him to do so. However, Palkia explained that this curse would not only affect them, but the entire world.
They still asked for him to do it, thinking that he would still be the only one to change. So Palkia set the curse. But they were wrong.
Darkrai did change, yes. But so did many other humans. When they found that some humans remained, however, Palkia said that the curse afflicted humans only if their soulmates were pokemon.
Of course Rapid and Darkrai were thrilled- This only increased their love for each other.
But, when human-pokemon realized who was responsible, through Palkia himself, they decided to destroy Darkrai- Unless he told Palkia to reverse the curse.
And Darkrai refused. He and Rapid fled the land.
They were eventually caught, however. Just when Darkrai was about to be demolished...
Rapid jumped in the way of the attack, dying instantly.
Darkrai was heartbroken. He explained to the humans about what the curse exactly entailed- And the other humans' pokemon revealed that they had loved their trainers for a long time. The humans apologized profusely to Darkrai, but it wasn't enough.
He never got Palkia to remove the curse. He wanted to stay in his pokemon form, so he could still be a bit closer to Rapid. However he was never the same. He fell into darkness, and despair, becoming completely evil, and those who tried to convince him to change back to goodness would simply be shot down"
Chatot stared in shock as he read the words 'THE END'.
He never removed the curse? But... Sally...
"SQUAWK! Guildmaster, alert ALL the teams! I have an important announcement!"
