I do not own Pokemon or its characters
When Darkness Falls
(Legend)
In the past it was known to both humans and Pokémon that there was an ongoing war between the darkness and the light. This war soon ended when the great, mighty god Arceus came between the enemies. He sealed the powers of the darkness and the light until they stopped the war. But legend has it that one day if the war hasn't been resolved. He would place these powers in the hands of a boy and girl. These two are the chosen ones that would hold these power and bring peace to the land.
(Dawn POV)
The shrine was close to the forest which I loved to sneak out to visit. My mom and my teacher, Maylene, always told me to never leave to explore because it was dangerous. I had just sneaked out after my class with Maylene. I walked to this place I had just found that had a pond and there were friendly Pokémon everywhere. I would always come because I hate being cooped up in the shrine all the time.
Once I asked my mom if I could go and explore the region like trainers do, but she always gave me the same lesson about how I need to be kept safe because of the light. I always gave her the same reason that I had enough training to beat anyone that came my way but she always dismissed the idea. Well I knew that today was going to be different from than any other day.
I was sitting at the ledge of the water when I noticed a pair of eyes looking at me. I was curious and scared because I had never run into someone since discovering this place. I kept cool and started looking at the water in front of me to make it seem like I didn't notice the person starting at me. I got up and dusted my capris sweatpants when all of a sudden the eyes disappeared.
I was making my way to the shrine when I suddenly saw someone's leg trying to make contact with my side so I jumped forward and rolled. I looked up to see my pink haired teacher Maylene.
"What did I tell you about not going out of the shrine and by the way nice dodge," Maylene said angrily. She looked down at me and offered a hand so I can get up.
I grabbed her hand and got up. "I hate being trapped in the shrine, why can't I be like people my age and travel the regions," I said.
"You're not exactly a normal person remember," as soon as she said. "Let's get going before your mother finds you're outside the shrine," Maylene said in a worried tone. We then started to make our way to the shrine when we heard an explosion. I looked at Maylene and she looked at me back. We ran to the shrine and hoped that nothing bad happened.
(Normal POV)
A woman with short red hair was standing in front of Johanna who was on the floor bleeding. "Where is she I know you're the one who is hiding her," the red head said in a furious tone.
"I don't know why you're looking for her, but you will never get her," Johanna said.
The redhead whistled and a Purugly appeared. "Finish her off," said the redhead and made her way to a purple haired woman. "Jupiter, she's not here we should continue our search elsewhere," the redhead said. A loud scream was heard from the inside but was soon cut off.
"Cyrus is not going to be happy about this, come on Mars we have to get out of here before someone sees us," Jupiter said with a smirk. They both got into a helicopter with Purugly trailing behind. The helicopter took off and was out of sight in seconds.
(Dawn POV)
I ran as fast as I could to the shrine. I could not believe my eyes, one side of the shrine was demolished but the other side was still intact. I heard my name being called from the inside. I made my way inside and found my mom on the floor with a puddle of blood all around her. I knelt and started to sob until a hand grabbed my leg. I looked up to see it was my mom. "Please don't leave me," I said pleading to her.
She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry honey I will always be watching over you no matter what."
"Don't say that, I want you here with me," cried to her. I took her hand and placed it on my cheek. "I'm sorry I wasn't here. If I was here none of this would have…."
"This isn't your fault. I'm glad you weren't here or they would have taken you from me. Stay with Maylene she's going to protect you from now on okay" she gave me a smile.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," she said before closing her eyes. I held her hand in mine. I felt her hand go limp and I knew she was gone. I cried and cried until Maylene came in and took notice of her body. She grabbed my shoulder and pulled out of the room.
"Dawn I know this is hard for you but we have to leave immediately" Maylene said in a worried tone, "I don't know if the people who did this might come back, so I'm taking you to the gym in Veilstone where I live."
"Okay" I said trying to calm myself down.
I packed some clothes in one of my backpacks. Stood in front of my vanity and looked at a picture on the mirror of my mother and I laughing, I grabbed it and put it in my backpack. I made my way out and I noticed Maylene was waiting for me in her car. I jumped in and we started our way to Veilstone.
