Authors notes: Hi! I'm Shadow of Raikou! I'm new to fanfiction.net. This is my first fic…so…NO FLAMERS!!! Also, Pokemon speech is in […] Ok?
I have to run. I have to get away from here. My mind was racing as I dashed out of the small, cave-like basement. It smelled like ash, dust, and ruin. This was the infamous Burned Tower of Ecruteak City. Suicune, Entei and I had been discovered by some girl with blue pigtails and a pokeball in her hand. So we had to run. Fast. And far. I dashed off into the sunset, and I looked back just once, and I saw Suicune fighting the girl's Poliwhirl. My gaze shifted to Entei who was running in the opposite direction that I was. I then looked strait ahead and ran.
Well after the sun had set, I came to a city I had never been in before. It was almost deserted, save a few small houses here and there. I looked to the north. There was a route that lead into a large field of overgrown grass, which was a perfect hiding place for me. I dashed over and discovered that there was another Pokemon hiding there. It was female, I could tell that about it right away. It spotted me, and slowly rose from the ground. Moonlight struck the yellow rings that greatly contrasted with its coat of soft, black fur. It narrowed its small, red eyes at me.
[Who are you?] It asked carefully, slinking over to me and staring me right in the eyes. It stood a few feet shorter than I, and was glaring menacingly.
[I am Raikou. The beast of thunder.] I stared at it. [What are you??]
It grinned. [I'm Ukashi, the Umbreon.] It made a sound that sounded like laughter. [I have no fancy titles.]
[Oh?] I relaxed some upon hearing this menacing creature laugh. [Well, Ukashi, what are you doing here?]
[I'm sleeping. What did it LOOK like I was doing?] It said sarcastically, but it was still smiling. Well, as much as it could anyways…
[Sorry if I interrupted.]
[No problem.] Ukashi turned around and walked gingerly back to the place where I had first spotted it. [So…what are YOU doing here?]
[Ummm…well…its kind of a long story…]
[Well, then you can come over here and tell it.] It looked me over. [You look like you could use a rest anyways.]
I nodded. [Yeah. I have been running for the past few hours.] With that, I sat down next to Ukashi, who was dozing.
[Now…] Ukashi said, turning over to face me. [Tell me what your doing here…]
I yawned and stretched, and finally I laid my head in my paws. [Well, Suicune, Entei and I lived in a basement of sorts. We had resided there for a very long time, because, well, there weren't any people there. But then, earlier today, a human girl stumbled into out secret lair, and tried, not unlike others before her, to capture us. Entei and I fled, but Suicune was attacked by the girl and her Poliwhirl. I came here to escape her and other humans, and that's when I ran into you.]
Ukashi nodded her head. [Hmm…it sounds like you need someone who is experienced at avoiding trainers. But tell me, what is your name??]
I was startled by the question. [Name…??]
She stood to her feet again. [Well, sure. Everyone around here has a name.]
I also stood. [Well, as you know, I'm not from around here.] I growled, [and by the way, I don't need any help avoiding people. I've done it for thousands of years.]
She stepped away from me. [Excuse me for trying to help. But I think you should have a name. And a good name that I'VE always liked it Kiyota.]
[Kiyota?] The strange name rolled off my tongue, and I liked the sound of it. [Fine. Kiyota it is.] But one thing remained on my mind. [Where am I?]
Ukashi chuckled again. [You are outside Mahogany town. A few more miles north and you'll be at the lake of rage.]
[Hmm…well…I think I should continue. This "Lake of Rage" sounds like a good hiding spot.] I turned to dash again.
[WAIT!] Ukashi jumped in front of me. [People go to the lake for vacation all the time! You'll be captured for sure!]
We stood there, staring at each other. All I could hear was the wind blowing across the grass, and the occasional hoot of a Noctowl. Finally, Ukashi spoke.
[I…I know a good place to hide. A place where no one goes…but you'll have to follow me.] She said mysteriously.
[Fine.] I growled at her. I was beginning to have a bad feeling about this…
