"So, you were drawn here as well..." The electric beast, having been sitting in the center of the path heading to the destroyed building the humans had once called the Brass Tower, in broad daylight, no less, started, eyes torn from the charred building to the beast behind it. The fire based sibling stood off to the side.
"I guess... I just felt... Like I needed to come here. For some reason." The first sighed, head bowed.
"It was the same for me." The second admitted. "Do you suppose...?"
"I expected I'd find you both here." A third beast joined the two, bounding out of the tree line to meet them. The three sat in silence, just watching the burned tower as if expecting something to happen.
"Entei, Suicune." The first inclined its head to each as it spoke. "Do either of you... Remember anything before Ho-Oh?" Entei gave a small shake of its head.
"It's the same for me." Suicune confirmed. "Before the memory of Ho-Oh there's nothing. Just darkness." It sighed. "And flames." Entei flinched slightly at that.
"Did we even exist before that?"
"Raikou, you always seemed to be the least likely to dwell on the past like this. What caused it?" Suicune cut the electric type off before it could continue down that line of thought.
"I... Don't know, yet I can't-"
"Splash, Smoke, hurry up!" A voice interrupted Raikou, coming from behind them. All three turned to see a young Jolteon rush into view, followed closely by a Vaporeon and a Flareon.
"Spark wait!" The Vaporeon exclaimed, rushing forward to block his path. "Kuni said we needed to stay away from the Burned Tower!" She said, none of them noticing the three Pokemon farther down the path yet.
"Miki said that as well." The Flareon confirmed, walking up behind them. "And I'm pretty sure Sayo said the same."
"She said nothing of the sort." The Jolteon sniffed. "And I want to explore. One of the trainers yesterday? Had a Koffing from the Burned Tower traveling with her. I heard some of the stories he was telling during a break between battles. It sounds fasci-"
"Your trainers are correct. The tower is dangerous." Suicune cut in, walking up to the trio. Entei followed, while Raikou only sat where it was, staring up at the tower. Even as it spoke the rumble of thunder could be heard in the distance. "You should return to them."
"I... You're..." The three of them retreated a few steps as the Jolteon stuttered.
"Suicune speaks the truth, you should return." Entei added then. The three of them nodded numbly, turning and running down the path even faster than they had come.
"Entei, Suicune?" Raikou spoke then. "I want to talk to Ho-Oh."
