A/N: Hello everyone! I haven't visited the Pokemon fanfic universe in about two years or so, but I'm back! Due to school and such matters, updates will be slow.

Full synopsis:

Reishi was your (more or less) run of the mill Noibat. She had a mother (father having passed sometime later), and an older sister and brother. Surely, after time had passed, nothing else could go wrong... Right?

Unfortunately, after her siblings are mortally wounded, things did take a turn for the worst - when she ran off, anyway. Now, alone and helpless, what can the Noibat do now? Hopefully, find something good to chow on, because she's starving.

So, without further ado, I introduce you to the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Nintendo does.


Just Wing It

Chapter 1

When it Rains, it Really Does Pour

Rain. More rain. Ever since she left home, it was always raining. It seemed to be mourning with the Noibat. Saddened by the fact her siblings are more than likely dead at this point in time. Nothing could survive a stalagtite impaling them.

Or maybe it was disappointed in her decision to run away, and Arceus was raining down his disapproval on her.

Whatever the reason, Reishi didn't care. All she knew was that she couldn't go back home. She was the maker of bad luck, the reason her father died, the reason her siblings were probably dead...

The thoughts swirled within the tiny Pokemon, eating away at her already low spirit. She sighed and waited for the weather to let up so she could find food. Luckily, this place was full of berries... And prey.

Mind you, she never knew how to hunt. She wasn't old enough to be taught how. Barely able to keep herself airborne, she was that young. But, she would have to try. At one point or another.

Her gold eyes narrowed in sadness, stomach growling. It's only been two days since she had left, and she was already starting to starve. Reishi, deep down, regretted this.

But what else could she do?

She shivered as big fat raindrops fell on her, and she curled up to conserve warmth. The rain poured down harder, and the crackle of thunder was heard in the distance. She already missed being at home with her family but she refused to ever return there. The Noibat looked up into the air, and sighed.

Looks like she would have to wait it out during the night.

Again.

A tear rolled down Reishi's face as she went into a fitful sleep.

Would this nightmare ever end?

Probably not, Reishi thought to herself.

Her hunger? Maybe it'll end when she's dead.

Because at this rate, that's the road she's heading for.


A/N: Short intro is short. However, as the story goes along, it'll explain everything - and more of an explanation as to why Reishi ran off.

Anyways, R&R please! No flaming!
