A/N: Greetings everyone, Water Labrador96 here with my first story published to Fanfiction. Feel free to read and review, I want to know if there's anything I could fix. Without further ado let's dive in.
My names Slyvia and I'm a goodra. For my whole life I've lived in the Azura Forest with my parents, younger brother a fraxture named Hank, and my best friend, a typhlosion named Tyler. Speaking of Tyler, he was currently late as we were supposed to be heading toward the Emerald Caves which sat within the near the edge of the forest. No one has ever explored them before, or at least no one that has ever returned from them. Lots of rumors exist as to why no body makes it out but I'm sure that me and Tyler could find a way out ourselves. My green eyes caught the approach of a cream and blue colored pokemon with bright red eyes. "Better late than never I suppose." I stated. "Sorry, uncle paid a visit and he started roping me into one of his famous 'when me and your father were your age' stories." he replied sheepishly. "The stories that may or may not be based on real events." "Right, but I'm here and ready to go when you are." And with that, we headed westward toward the caves.
I soon found myself glancing down at the light blue crystal that hung around my neck, a good luck charm from Hank. Like mom and dad, he was worried that me and Tyler would never come back out of the Emerald Caves, like so many that had gone before us. Truthfully, our parents didn't know that we were actually going into the caves. Hank promised not to say anything but did say that it would become necessary if we were going for an extended period of time. I of course assured him the two of us would explore the caves a bit and be back before we're too horribly missed. Plus anytime spent with Tyler alone was a bonus for me. I mently paused as I considered how happy I was to be alone with him. For the past several years since we both reached our first stage evolutions, I started to feel a different kind of love for my best friend, feelings which fully came to head apon our final evolutions. I wasn't sure if he even liked me in the same way or not but I didn't want to risk our friendship over it. I shoved the thoughts from my head, now was not the time for them.
The rest of our walk was uneventful and apon sundown we decided to stop for the night. A fire was quickly started by Tyler and we were soon roasting berries over it. Our messenger bags were loaded with as many berries, and healing poultices as we could get. As I chewed on a seared Nanab berry, I started wondering what could be within the Emerald Caves. Jewels of untold beauty? Pokemon from the prehistoric times who are still thriving underground? Or maybe some magical object that could grant ones wishes? It was all so mysterious and exciting, but at the same time I wondered what could be keeping other mons who have entered the caves from leaving? I didn't know but we were about to find out. I just hope that we'll be able to escape from the caves with our tale of adventure.
A/N: Thanks for reading and I was planning on alternating between the point of views of Slyvia and Tyler but wasn't sure of the frequency of it like should it be every chapter, switch part way through, alternate like Slyvia for one and two, Tyler for three and four and so forth. Feedback is welcome, so until next time, this is Water Labrador96 signing off.
