Hey everyone it's AwakenedRage with my first fan fiction lets get started.
Verlum and Rikez were happily sleeping when Rikez got up. It was about 6 in the morning and the apprentices usually get up at 7. Verlum noticed Rikez, her partner was getting up.
"What's wrong Rikez? Can't sleep?" The sleepy eevee asked
Rikez turned around quickly
"No Verlum...I have something I have to confess. Today I'm planning on heading out to Lost Village.
"Lost village? I've never heard of it" The eevee said sleepily
Rikez nodded as he closed his eyes
"Yes, i'm slowly starting to remember my past and that I have a partner. I recall what happened when we got separated. I had another vision that he would be there.
Verlum was astatic with anticipation as she could barely stop shaking
"Really! Can I come?"
Rikez sighed knowing that Verlum would surely be disappointed about his decision but decided to cut straight to the point.
" Sorry Verlum, its not that I don't want to include you. Its just that he would rather me I think it would be better if I went alone," the riolu said honestly, but in a way that wouldn't disappoint the eevee to badly.
Verlum sighed in disappointment with a sweat drop on her head, but Verlum understood that Rikez didn't want to complicate anything with his former partner.
"Sure, Rikez! I'll sleep I guess until Loudred wakes us up," the eevee said getting back in her bed.
Rikez then continued to walk out and made sure not to wake the other apprentices up. Rikez then knocked on the guild masters chamber door. Until Chatot yelled in surprise from the knock at a early time in the morning.
"Come in!" Chatot said with a squawk As Rikez then entered the room. Chatot then flapped his wings in surprise from seeing Rikez this early without been woken.
"Rikez? What are you doing up so early?" Chatot asked with the guildmaster at his side asking the same question in his head.
Rikez then took a pause that seemed to be forever to him. As he finally let out the truth.
"Well Guildmaster. I can't hide this from you any longer, I have started to recollect more and more of my past. I remember where I live and someone should probably know that I am still alive.
"How far is the location?"Chatot asked before coughing slightly.
"The location is a very long trek but I plan to go. But their is one last thing I have to request."The riolu said completing his sentence, starting to get nervous about going through with his plan forgetting to answer Chatot'squestion completely
"Well? What is the name and how far is it from the guild?"the bird pokemon asked with his arms crossed.
"It takes about a couple days to hike since you have to go past 2 mountains and a ravine."
"Squawk!? You sure you don't want to take a different route to your location? You could easily fall in the ravine if you go alone." Chatot asked concerned for Rikez knowing how sad Verlum would be if something tragic would happen to him.
After Rikez got the okay to be excused from training for a couple days Rikez headed to treasure town with 8000p to Kecleon market. Until he was eventually greeted by both Kecleon brothers with a bright look on both brothers faces
" Hi Rikez, we usually don't see you until a hour and 30 minutes from now. What's up with you, you look like your running away."
Rikez grinned a bit after the statement about him running away.
"I wouldn't be here if that was my mission. You see, I'm heading to a place that not that many have been to. I'm heading to the hidden village
Both Kecleon Brothers asked in Awe
" Hidden village? Isn't that..."
Rikez then answered both of their questions before they could finish their sentence
"Yes, its past the region border."
Both Kecleon brothers then told themselves "Past the border?" Before they had the guts to actually tell Rikez. "But... That's in Wilderness territory" The green Kecleon Brother said before being interrupted by his brother, the purple Kecleon
"Not much is known about it however your going to need to be properly equipped."
"Against what?" Rikez asked with curiosity.
"Nobody knows, whenever it strikes, it severely injures or even kills."
Rikez gulped at the statement but confirmed with Kecleon what he said
"It kills?" Rikez didn't complete his sentence but told himself that he didn't have any choice. He would have to go save his friend
"I guess I'l take 5 Oran Berries, Heal Seeds, and Reviver seeds." Rikez said handing the money to the purple kecleon.
Rikez than started to exit Treasure Town but was stopped by someone calling his name. It was the Marill and Azuril brothers.
"Rikez! Rikez! Wait! Have you seen a water-float at the beach? "
The little Azuril asked before his older brother noticed something different in Rikez.
"Hey, what's wrong? Your going somewhere, but I don't see Verlum."
Rikez sighed, as he wanted to explain this to as few people as possible. He didn't want to scare them.
"I' m going to go find a friend, at the hidden village. Now you both be good and take care!" Rikez said as he departed through the road that led to the border leaving the region
Some of Chatot and the Guildmaster talking were cut out, other than that its end of chapter.
