An unnatural silence befell Pinwheel forest that day, all that could be heard was the crisp snap of the leaves and twigs underfoot of the large black pokémon as he walked along the dirt path, lit up only by the sun shining through the gaps in the canopy. This Pokémon was known as Lux: A Luxray who is a fairly large, black furred pokémon measuring about 4'07" with tiny sparks radiating off his mane and piercing yellow eyes that allows it to see through walls, much like an X-ray.
"Nearly home" Lux muttered, It was fairly dark and he had been hunting since dawn, multiple Zubat were flocking in the shadows of the trees above him. He was looking forward to a nice long nap. A few minutes passed and he could hear the trickling of the spring beside his den, he caught the familiar aroma of the lavender that grew in the field nearby. Lavender always signalled that he was close to home and it always rewarded him with the same pleasant aroma it did several years ago, it also reminded him of his mother and the way she used to play in the field with him. He missed his mother as Lux did not have many friends at the time, he left them all behind when he wanted to start a new life in Pinwheel forest. In fact the last time Lux talked to someone was over 3 years ago and he had began to feel the effects of loneliness, but he had grown used to living in solitude. He had made it back to his den safely only to notice that the fire had gone out. His den was merely a dry cave decorated with various personal effects.
Lux gathered some nearby wood and began to pile it on the ashes of the recently extinguished fire. Luxray aren't known for using fire, his childhood friend: a male Quilava named, "Snap" had taught him to how to use basic fire attacks. Lux called him snap because he had a unusually short temper and would occasionally snap. With that Luxray used a small ember to bring the fire back to life. He slowly walked over to his bed and stared at it with drowsy eyes. The bed was made up of simple pillows and cushions he had found, it wasn't much, but he liked it just the way it was. Lux began to curl up by the fire and drift off to sleep...
Later that night...
A strange noise woke Lux from his slumber, he got up and went outside his cave to investigate. Lux slowly canvassed the area looking for the source of the noise. There was no-one around, "probably nothing" he thought as he stumbled back to bed... But just then "...*sniff*..." "There it was again", but this time Lux decided to investigate further. He cautiously stepped outside and looked around, again he found nothing, "I must be hearing things, there's nothi- "...*sniff*...*sob*..." his voice was cut off by the noise. By now Lux was certain he had heard something, it sounded like someone crying. He needed to get closer. Luxray followed the sound until he came to a path leading deeper into the forest. Lux knew that many dangers lurked deep in the forest, but that noise, it was torturing him, he needed to know what it was! Lux's curiosity won against his better judgement and he slowly began to make his way down the path into the deeper parts of Pinwheel forest.
Quiet whimpers could be heard within the depths of Pinwheel forest, Lux scanned the area with his piercing yellow eyes trying to find where the noise came from... But with no result, "Perhaps I should get a bit closer" Lux thought as he continued to make his way along the path in the direction the cries came from. As he slowly crept towards the source, the cries got slightly louder, not much louder, but loud enough for Lux to recognise that it was a feminine voice, a very sad feminine voice, but he did not know yet. A few minutes later Lux stepped into a small clearing...
"That noise must be coming from around here" and with that, cautiously he crept towards the centre of the clearing. It was now extremely dark out and it was getting increasingly difficult to see things. He once again looked around but there was nothing here, "...*sniff*...*sob*...w-why?" Lux's gaze immediately snapped to a tree at the far edge of the clearing... He could not see clearly, but there was definitely someone or something there. All Lux managed to make out was a somewhat shadowy figure crying under a tree. Lux knew that it would be stupid to go up immediately, as the figure might attack him, so Lux decided it would be a good idea to observe for a while and see how things turned out...
Lux found a suitable hiding spot in a nearby bush and waited, silent and stealthy... A few hours passed and Lux was still in the bush, he had lost track of time, but it was still dark so he assumed it was around 1:00am. The figure was still crying and muttering to itself, it had no idea it was being watched... A few moments later a butterfly landed on Lux's nose, causing him discomfort and the need to sneeze, he desperately tried to keep himself from sneezing as it would surely blow his cover and alert the figure. Lux managed to shake the butterfly off without making any noise, but just as he thought he got rid of his urge to sneeze... *AAACCCHHHOOOOO*
"Oops" Lux muttered under his breath, the figure had stopped crying for the minute and had got up to investigate the sneeze. Lux stayed absolutely still, hoping the cover of darkness would keep him concealed, but unfortunately the figure seemed to have good eyesight and spotted Lux a few moments later. As the figure got closer, Lux could make out more details of its body. A white, long bodied Pokémon, slender in shape. Its head was small in size and had small, triangle shaped ears. Its forehead has a purple spot adorning it as well as a yellow one on its snout, It possessed a pair of long, yellow tipped whiskers which had split ends,. Its arms were almost completely covered by a large amount of fur that was tipped in purple and split at the end. It had a long, skinny tail that, like its paw fur, is tipped purple and split at its end. Lux had never seen a pokémon like it, but he knew it was a girl.
The Pokémon now stood over Lux, staring at him with her piercing eyes. Lux was too nervous to speak, he had always been very shy. "W-who are you?" Asked the pokémon still wiping tears from her eyes. Her soft voice enveloped Lux, it reminded him about his mother when she used to sing to him when he was just a Shinx. Her voice interrupted his thoughts "What's y-your name?" Lux was now trying to gather his strength to speak to this girl, "...uh...i-i'm c-c-called Lux" He said nervously, "w-whats y-yours?" "my name is Mia" she replied, "what a-are you doing over here, were you spying on me?" Mia asked questionably. At that point Lux had no idea what to say, its true he was spying to an extent, but it wasn't intentional as he was just nervous to meet her. "n-no I w-wasn't spying on y-you I was j-just-" "just what?" Mia interrupted before he could finish. Lux stood up and took a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts, "I w-was nervous about meeting you I d-didn't know how you react to m-me" he replied, avoiding eye contact.
"w-what do you mean?" Mia asked, tilting her head slightly. "well I could hear s-someone crying from my d-den and I began looking a-around for the source, eventually I saw a figure in the distance, you. I thought you might…uh...a-attack me so I just h-hid, I wasn't s-spying honest!" Lux replied truthfully. "I see..." Mia said believing in his story. "Well, you found out what was causing the noise shouldn't you be going now?" Lux wanted to know one more thing before he went home, "what were you crying about anyway?" Lux asked curiously. "It's nothing just go." tears started to swell up in her eyes again. Lux was a bit sad to see that the first bit of company he got, shooed him away like that, but he did as he was told and began to walk slowly back to his den, but before he got on the path that led back into the heart of Pinwheel forest, he glanced back one more time at Mia who was surprisingly looking at him too, "bye!" Lux shouted, The pokémon sighed heavily, nodded and sat back under the tree where he first found her.
