The Mysterious Pokémon
It was a calm summery day, not a cloud in the sky as the sun beamed down. Rolling hills of green grassy blew like a green ocean in the soft breeze. The field of grass of on the outskirts of a dark green forest and went all the way into a small village where humans lived. But in that field of almost neverending grass was a creature. It was a Pokémon! The rustling came from a mysterious blue Pokémon hiding in the tall grass. It moved quietly along the valley without snapping a twig. Suddenly it froze. It heard something.
Talking.
Someone was giving commands. It growled softly and inched closer; it peered though the tall blades of grass and saw two other Pokémon battling. One was a Ponyta and it was battling a Stantler. But they weren't the ones making noise. Someone was talking.
"Hmmmm. A Stantler. Let's see what the Pokédex says about it." The trainer said, taking out the Pokédex out of her pocket.
There was a 'beep-beep' and then the little hand-held Pokémon computer started talking. "Stantler. The big-horn Pokémon. Those who stare at its antlers will gradually lose control of their senses and be unable to stand. The curved antlers have the power to subtly change the flow of air in the area around itself and to create a strange space where reality itself becomes distorted."
"Ok Ponyta, don't look at its antlers. Now, use Fire Spin." The girl told Ponyta. She was dressed in a light green tanktop with a purple skirt overtop and blue pants. She had her light brown hair pulled back into a long ponytail with a red headband under her bangs. As she yelled out the command to her Pokémon, Ponyta listened!
The mysterious Pokémon, still hiding, thought that was just wrong. It thought that Pokémon are meant to be free and shouldn't have to listen to humans.
Ponyta used Fire Spin just as the girl told him to. Suddenly, a fire tornado formed around Stantler, closing it in. It lasted for a few seconds and then it disappeared. Stantler fell to the ground, but got up and lowered its head, ready to attack. The balls on its antlers glowed and something invisible hit Ponyta, and knocked him down to the ground.
"Ponyta!" The girl cried, running over to her fallen fire-horse companion. "Are you ok? That Stantler's Psy-Beam is very strong even after that Fire Spin you hit him with."
Since he thought the battle was over, the Stantler ran away towards the forest on the edge of the valley.
"Don't worry Ponyta, we'll get another battle with that Stantler someday." The girl smiled down at her fire horse and patted it on the head softly.
The hiding Pokémon watched the battle and when it was over, turned around and started to head in the other direction but it stepped on a twig.
Snap!
The hiding Pokémon didn't want to risk getting caught so it used Mist. Suddenly, a big patch of fog covered the valley.
The girl heard the noise and looked around. When she saw nothing, she turned her attention back to Ponyta. "Great battle, you have a good rest now." She took out a pokeball and called Ponyta back.
"Wow, it sure got foggy fast." The girl said, taking out a different Pokéball. "Go, Umbreon!" She threw the Pokéball up in the air. It opened and Umbreon appeared from it.
"Umbre, Umbre, Umbreon!" Said the moonlight Pokémon, sniffing the air.
"Ok Umbreon, it's starting to get dark. So could you use Moonlight so we could go home?"
Umbreon nodded and closed her eyes. Then the rings on her body started glowing yellow. Now that there was light to see the way home, the girl patted her Pokémon on the head and they started to walk home.
The hiding Pokémon waited until they disappeared into the forest's trees. Since the girl was gone, the Pokémon didn't mind coming out into the open. The setting sun peered through the clouds and a faint beam of light shown and lit up the valley.
The Pokémon stepped out into the open. It was a beautiful aqua colour and had white diamond-like patches on its body and legs. It had a crystal on its forehead and a long purple mane that blew in the evening breeze. It also had two steamer-like tails that flowed forwards instead of backwards.
The Pokémon lifted its head to the rising moon and let out a howl. It seemed to say "I am the forest's guardian. I am the great Suicune!"
After, it walked off in the opposite direction in which the girl headed off in.
As it walked, it thought about what it just saw. 'That girl, like every other human thinks they can control us, Pokémon. All of the other legendary Pokémon and I have to be alert and ready to flee if we see any human. Those humans will never leave us alone. No one will ever catch me or any of the others.' It stopped walking for a moment. A smile appeared on its lips. 'But if I had to battle that girl someday, it would be an interesting battle.'
And with that, it howled to the moon again, happy to be free.
