Chapter 1: Who is he?
"Huff…Puff…Puff…They're gaining. Got to keep running…"
"Night Shade!" A voice exclaimed as A Riolu jumped to the side to avoid sparks of black electricity as she ran through the trees.
"Why won't you just stand still?" Another voice said as she barely dodged a small wave of embers.
The Riolu kept running, she had got a pain in her side from running for so long, she just wanted to get away. She looked over her shoulder and saw a Litwick and a Gastly chasing her down.
"What where is...?" She asked herself before slamming into something in front of her.
"You think you could've escaped." The Mimikyu who she ran to taunted like a hunter who had cornered his prey.
THe riolu stayed silent as she sized him up as he taunted her. The Emanation Pokemon then took a fighting pose as she yelled "Forsight!" As her vision went a tint of light blue. "Quick Attack!" She yelled as she dashed towards the Mimikyu and tackled him but didn't hurt him. THe Mimikyu didn't react, didn't flinch, didn't take damage as the head on his makeshift Pikachu costume drooped to the side. Normally Quick Attack would be able to cause damage to anyone but with Mimikyu's ability Disguise he is able to take one attack without taking damage.
Mimikyu then tackled her to the ground, The Riolu got back on her feet but then was hit by Gastly's Night Shade, followed by Litwick's Ember. Mimikyu then tackled her hard, causing her to fall on her back as he loomed over the Riolu, she saw the small dots in the costume where his eyes were glow white as he started beating her up as a large dust cloud formed around them. The Riolu knew this move all too well, Play Rough. She remember how many times she's been on the receiving end of this attack. Mimikyu stopped beating her up after a few minutes and ended the flurry with a powerful tackle, knocking her into the base of a tree, she winced as she slid down the tree's bark.
"Yo Boss. Can I finish her off?" She heard the Gastly ask Mimikyu.
"No Gene. If we knock her out here someone will report us. Don't you remember last time?" Mimikyu responded. "And anyway it's not fun if she doesn't fight back."
"Grrrr fine Marcus." Gene whined.
"Don't worry Gene. We'll get her again soon ahuhuhuhuhu!" Litwick giggled.
"Ain't that the truth Lin." Marcus said as the three off them walked away through the trees, leaving the Riolu laying at the foot of the tree Marcus knocked her into.
She groaned as she struggled to get back on my feet, her whole body aching from the Play Rough. "Dang. He really did a number on me." The Riolu winced. "But I can't let that get me down. Maybe visiting my favourite hangout spot to rest a bit." She pressed her paw against the tree as she hoisted herself onto her feet. "Ok so the clearing is… that way, I think." She then started walking through the abundance of trees, tall grass and even some different types of flowers. She arrived at a large wide opening in the forest. There were large clusters of pink, yellow and white flowers, a small river of water that flowed along the side of the small plain of grass, here were a few large rocks scattered around this place that she used to train but her favourite thing of all in my special hangout place was the massive, old, oak tree in the middle of the clearing, it provided well shade from the sun, rustled soothingly when the wind blows across the land and looked down right beautiful in contrast with the landscape around it.
The Emanation Pokemon had walked over to the small river as she stared into my reflection, her face covered in dirt and grass from the attack from the Ghost types. "Why do they always have to push me around? They have been bullying me ever since we were younger. At first it was about how annoying and naive I was when we were younger but when I got older they then teased me about my dreams to become an explorer, it got even worse when they became a Pokémon rescue team. They started attacking me when they see me outside of town and used my as their punching bag." She could see the tears forming in her reflection's eyes. "Come on Luna. You've survived this long so why complain now?" She asked herself as she wiped away the tears and dipped her paws into the river as she rinsed her face. Luna took a small drink from the small stream of water and walked over to the large tree in the center of the small patch of paradise. One of her favourite ways to relieve stress was to sit in the shade of the trees leaves and gently watch the world go by. Luna walked over to the oak tree but was surprised at what was there. She saw a small, slate grey fox Pokémon passed out at the base of the tree.
"What? Who is this?" She asked herself as she approached slowly and observed their body, identifying them as male by the shape of their face. They looked quadrupedal with small scarlet tipped paws and a bushy tail behind him, he had large ears and a scruff of darker grey fur around his neck and a small tuft of fur tipped with the same scarlet colour as his paws on the top of his head. Was he attacked by Mimikyu and his gang? No that couldn't be possible they were chasing Luna the whole time and there is no sign of any injuries, at least external injuries.
Luna then nudged him, in hope to wake him up but he didn't even stir. She nudged him again harder this time but he still didn't move at all. "Hey. Hey come on. Wake up dude." Luna said in attempt to wake him up. "Hey! Wake up!" She started to yell. "Oh geez! Is this dude dead?" Luna asked myself as She pressed her paw on his neck. Oh thank Arceus he still had a pulse.
So he was still alive, but heavily asleep. Luna couldn't just leave him out there, the whole forest gets dangerous at night. It would be a bad idea to take him home cause Luna's mom would freak out, she always does when she sees Luna with a boy. "Hmm, there has to be a medic somewhere in town. Ah! Yes! I remember that there is a medic in the town's guild maybe she could help." Luna said as clapped her paws together. "Ok now, how am I going to move him? Maybe I could lift him but I'm not sure I can lift him while injured." She told myself before digging her paws underneath him, being surprised when she lifted him up. "Wow this dude's lighter than I thought." She said to herself as she started walking away from the forest opening.
Luna trekked through the forest carrying the fox Pokémon in her arms as many thoughts went through her mind, one of those thoughts was that Mimikyu and his gang were still in the forest but Luna pushed that thought out of her head, she need to just get to the guild as soon as she could. Soon Luna arrived back in Seafoam town. Seafoam has been Luna's home for as long as she could remember. She knew everyone well in the town and knew her way around it well. Luna entered a large gate that had 'Southern Gate' edged in it. as Luna walked down the street she lot of pokemon Whispering and pointing and the Pokémon in her arms as she walked by. To be honest Luna wouldn't blame them, she looked like a beat-up ragdoll and was holding a grey fox Pokémon who was passed out in my arms as she walked by like she was trying to not draw attention to herself. She eventually got through all the pointing and whispering exited the northern gate on the other side of the city which led to the beach where the guild stood proud. The guild was built upon a massive, sturdy slate of earth that had the appearance of an Avalugg a few miles off the coast of the beach with a bridge connecting the two, when Luna had reached the closed door of the castle-like guild she saw a sign next to the door that said 'If you have business with the guildmaster, please enter.'
Luna pushed open the door and stepped inside as she found herself in a hallway with a high ceiling that led to a circular part of the room with two doors on each side, two opposing staircases that led to a platform with a door behind it and a fountain in the middle of the room. A rich, cobalt coloured carpet shot through the room as Luna walked down the hallway. She looked up at the fountain and stared in awe of it's design, she noticed the base of the fountain was a design of a Samurott with water spouting out the top of their horn, she then noticed two small wooden peg boards at both sides of her. The one on her left had multiple small notes which she recognised as guild requests. "Huh. So this is where jobs are taken then?" She asked herself.
"Hello?" Luna heard a voice say to my left which caught her off guard making her turn around sharply. She saw a tall Pokémon who had the look of short, green hair and looked as if she was wearing a wedding dress, it was not long before Luna recognised her as a Pokémon named Gardevoir.
"Oh! Umm… Hello miss." She stammered slightly. "Do you know where I can find a doctor in the guild?" Luna asked her.
"A doctor?" She asked her with a puzzled look on her face before her eyes diverted to the Pokémon Luna had in her arms. "Hmm. Let me take a look." She said before kneeling down in front Luna and took the fox from her gently. "Hmmmm. What happened to him?" she asked.
"I honestly don't know. I found him passed out in the forest." Luna responded.
"Hmmm. Come with me." She said as she stood up and walked off as the Riolu trailed behind.
They entered the door on the left as Luna followed the Gardevoir down a few hallways until they entered a room that had multiple white coloured beds, a large wooden table against the back wall and a few chairs along the wall closest to the door, the basic look for a emergency room. The Gardevoir had laid the small Pokémon along one of bed as she took a stethoscope from the table and held it to his chest.
"Is he ok?" Was the first question that Luna had asked her.
"Yes he is completely unharmed but the same can't be said the same for you." She said gesturing to Luna's bruised, battered body. "Heal Pulse." The Gardevoir said as she cupped her hands and a calming pink aura wafted outward and covered her entire body, Luna could feel her wounds healing and soon disappeared.
"Wow…" Luna whispered. "Who are you?"
"I am named Angela my dear. I am the guild's doctor." She introduced herself before she turned back to the Pokémon on the bed. "He doesn't seem to have any sort of injury, just heavily unconscious."
"Will he be alright?" Luna asked Angela as she pressed the stethoscope to his chest again.
"He'll wake up eventually. He'll be just fine." She reassured her.
"But he won't be staying for very long." A deep voice said behind Luna. She turned around to see a large, dark blue seal Pokémon with two swords attached to his forearms and was wearing a shell as a helmet. It was the same Samurott as the one Luna saw on the fountain's design.
"Oh, Guildmaster." Angela said as she faced him.
"You." He said as his eyes diverted towards Luna, she felt his gaze cutting through her like a blade.
"Yes sir?" Luna said as confidently as she could, trying to hide her sudden fear of the Samurott.
"This Zorua. Tell me where did you find them?" He asked her.
"I found him in a clearing in the woods, I go there often and he wasn't there before." She responded with as much confidence as she could.
"This boy is a species of a Pokémon named Zorua. They are one of the trickiest of dark types along with their evolution, Zoroark." The Guildmaster told her.
"Zorua?" Luna questioned. So that was his species.
"Zorua and Zoroark are cunning species who are known for playing with minds." The Guildmaster had told her. "Most have used their abilities for crime but that isn't to say there isn't good ones out there."
"I... I don't understand mister." Luna said blankly.
The Guildmaster was off putted from her demeanour but quickly brushed it off. "My point here is that we don't know if this Zorua is good or bad."
"Oh I see now. Hopefully it's the former." Luna responded.
"Maybe, but we don't know for sure." The Guildmaster told her. "You cannot really trust these species half of the time. They are well known for deceit and trickery." The Guildmaster said. "Then again. You did try to save another's life and I commend you for that. Maybe you have potential to become an explorer."
"Yes sir! That's my dream!" Luna exclaimed, suddenly bursting with confidence. "My name is Luna and I wish to be part of this guild one day!" Luna said courageously.
The guildmaster looked baffled at Luna's sudden outburst but she felt the aura of his intimidating manner melt into a more gentle tone. " I see you are charismatic Luna." The Samurott's intimidating first impression changed to a more gentle side of him, Luna could feel it in his aura. "But I still have one question. Why did you save him? I assume any young Pokemon would be scared and run off." The Guildmaster asked her.
"Well... No matter if someone has done anything wrong in my eyes, everyone deserves to be saved, no matter how corrupt they may be." Luna said as she looked down at the floor and shuffled my feet.
"Hmmm. That is a thoughtful thing Luna." The Guildmaster said to her before he looked out one of the small windows towards the vast sea where he could see the sun on the horizon. "It is getting late. I recommend you go home. We shall take care of him here for now."
"Thank you sir. Is it alright is I visit again tomorrow?" Luna asked him with hopefulness.
"We will await your return Luna." The guildmaster said as Luna saw a small smirk on the guildmaster's face. "Thank you sir. Goodbye Angela." Luna said as she turned to Angela before leaving room and made her way out of the guild. That Zorua. His aura is…different from any Luna had felt before. She couldn't feel any evil intentions coming from him but something felt…off. "I better get home, mom's going to kill me if I miss curfew."
So…hi there. Most of you may not know this but this is a rewritten version of a soon to be deleted story of mine named PMD: Portal to Other Worlds. I stopped writing that story because of some…constructive reviews that left me hollow about my writing. They weren't bad reviews; I could tell the person was trying to help me but it just made me feel bad. So I have now rewritten it. I have or going to change plot, events that take place and even some characters whether it be just their name to their whole character. I also had Z-moves in the original story but I decided to remove them due to having nothing to do with the plot and op. Hopefully I have written this better and hopefully it's enjoyable so far. Well that's all I have to say, let the views flow in and let the negative reviews crash down on me like a tidal wave.
