-"So I told this Human that if he wanted to see if the woman loved him there would be a heavy cost to pay afterwards an-" The Goat tried to finish but I put a hand around his snout. "Shut the hell up, you've been going on for the past three weeks of all the humans you've punished and fucked with so I want just 30 minutes of silence until this headache resides then you can continue your failure of horror stories." I said then brought both hands to my temples and rubbed them, the Goat only rubbed his snout and shot me dirty looks. Before he could protest the big man stopped by. "Narcius be gone I want to have a conversation with my new pet. Hahaha" 'Universe' spoke in a teasing tone, I just rolled my eyes whilst Narcius nodded and dissipates into space, and now it's just the big man and me in my own personal portion of space.
-"So how do you enjoy Narcius's company?" I hear the old man ask, I just gave a weak laugh. "He doesn't know when to stop, my heads be budging since you've let him in here." I hear him laugh but then asked. "Are you enjoying your stay here in the Heart?"
I just shot a cold look at where I think the voice is coming from, and I hear a laugh again. "Seems like it wasn't worth the question now but I know that soon you'll find a new resolve…" so I humored him and besides he's all knowing so I guess it couldn't hurt to know a bit more about my boring future in this Black void of nothingness.
-"What do you mean? You and those Watch-you-while-you-shit-ers, said I can't ever leave here and I'm pretty sure you're right, so why would I find another resolve?" I say to where I think the Old man is, he just gives me a hearty laugh and responds. "Well now, that's in your hands my friend. I've seen all the outcomes of you being in here and I wonder which you'll pick, considering you chose wrong in the events leading to your 3rd year here, then maybe you'll stay here, leave here or die here. These choices are in your hands." With that being said I sat there with his response lingering inside my head but he cut off my trail of thought by speaking a last time for this encounter. "I do wish to continue this but it seems, Narcius has been causing trouble again, at least Akatosh is a good girl and listens to my rules." The old man said in a fatherly tone that mixed with scolding and being proud, and with that I felt his heavy presence leave my Void and I was alone again. So I pondered. 'He said I can leave here… He shouldn't have gave me a hint but I'm assuming that most other Year Walkers that got stuck here went into shock or something else and gave up… well there is no way in hell I am giving up.' So I roll onto my back and being to rethink about the Old man told me…

-'So Elder Teresa do you think he'll be fine, I saw appear out of a Void similar to the one spoken of when Palkia or Diagla would make when traveling through worlds or time… But why a human would be appearing out of Void…' I heard a female voice that sounded like wind going through a wind chime softly, but there was also another voice that sounded motherly but also with authority. 'Yes Shiro he will be fine but both his arms are shattered, even with my recovery he doesn't heal all the way. So he'll have to heal the rest up naturally which will take about a month or two depends on his vitality.' I heard the motherly speak in a soothing tone but the whole calmness of the situation was broken by a male voice. 'Eldar Teresa the Scouts have reported a group of Dark-Fire type Pokemon approaching, there are 12 Houndooms in which are being followed by 4 trainers whom are a part of the shining hunting Corporation, they're coming for Mina, Yato and Shiro! What are your plans Elder?' I heard this panic filled voice speak, all the motherly did was walk towards him and responded. 'Get the defensive garrison, ,make sure the one who only know psychic moves only hurl objects and heavy rocks, the others who know any water and other non-psychic type moves will serve as the defensive line until the scouts return then we sandwich them between two forces. Understand Rin?' I felt one presence leave but the Elder and 'Shiro' remained in the room; the Elder turned and said something. 'I know you are awake human and you might as well show it, Shiro didn't get seen by shining hunters just to have you fake a coma, Shiro you saved him, he's your responsibility and so keep a watch on him and make sure he stays laying down. He needs it.' with that being said the Elder left the building or makeshift one, I sat up and turned to see this Shiro is a blue-teal colour with amber eyes and chest-thingy. She only shifts uncomfortably under my gaze, mainly be due to the lack of emotion on it and I understand why she would be after living with those bastards for almost 3 years I don't really know how to show emotions anymore.
-"H-hey I'm Nathan Desclairs, umm and you are?" I say out loud, to 'her'? All Shiro does is smile and with a bell chime giggle. 'Yes I am a girl, but my concern is are you alright, I saw you fall from really high up. I honestly thought you we're dead but I felt your presence and pulled you out of the water, but anyways how are you feeling? Oh, and I am Shiro of Fallen Leafs.' I just sit there dumbfounded like, only because I've almost been socially deprived 3 years so I kind of didn't know what to say, my mind only started spinning and I felt as I was going to puke. Suddenly my vision went blurred and I instantly felt weak and lay back down. Shiro's face only has one that is filled with shock and rushes over to the makeshift hammocks side, she places both hand on my temples and I instantly lose the sick feeling and weakness that was enveloping me left when she made contact with my head. 'Don't push yourself, you just only yesterday did a 10.000 foot sky dive without a parachute so your whole body is extremely strained, but does that feel better?' She asks me, all I do is nod and let sleep take me away. Before I lose consciousness I feel her hands leave my temples, I hear a long sigh before I heard her leave.

-"So this is where you decided to stay hmm?" I hear the Goats voice speak to me, I just groan but soon he was getting annoyed by something I couldn't see. "HEY! Piss off I'm not invading his mind, hey. HEY! HE-" with that Goat was gone and the dark void turned to a light yellow then I see Shiro standing where Goat was standing.
-"I am so sorry for entering you mind like this but when I came to check on you before I went to sleep I saw you shaking heavily and breathing fast, so I synchronized with you to try and help." I hear speak with her mouth instead of through her using telepathy and all I can say is voice sounded like a windy breeze that whished through the trees and brought the scent of summer flours with it. I just go bright red and rub the back of my head and bring my eyes to meet hers. "Thanks for the help, hehehe." Was all I said she only nodded and floated over to me, she came until were only about a meter apart and stood there with a light smile. "No its fine, but still I shouldn't have done it unless you wanted me too." Her gills and face went a bright pink. "Synchronizing is kind of an embarrassing thing to do if-" suddenly the world started falling apart I recognized this as me awaking…

I woke up and felt pressure on my chest and one spot felt like it was getting poked more than pressured, I open my eyes and see Shiro asleep on my chest with both hands still resting on and over my temples. I turn a bright red considering this closeness to a girl and my social depravation made this almost unbearable but I was calmed down by her light small breaths and also that she looked comfortable. I just lay still and decided to get a hold on my surroundings, I am in a hallowed out tree that was about 5 foot by 6 foot and about a 6 foot ceiling. The whole thing looks like it's been carved out by hand and as I bring my attention back to the door I see some little green bowl cut head with two red horns pop around the corner of the door, I just smile and wave gently and it seems to get a bit red and scurries off. I smile and bring my head back and decided if Shiro does not wake up before ill fall back asleep, I am not moving. It's been a while since I've felt the warmth of someone else, the Watchers and old man give of some cold as fuck air when their around. Just I am about to fall asleep I hear the Elders laugh and voice. 'Oh Shiro, and you seem to be awake.' I see Shiro's Amber eyes shoot open, I only smile warmly and the Elder only brings a hand to her month with a light giggle. Shiro's gills and face go a furious red and she jumps off me and floats over to the elder who is only giggling at her. They proceed to speak in a tongue I cannot understand; I the one human who left the void alive and has the knowledge of God don't not understand this language… maybe that's why the Old man was fine with me being here.
The two finishes their conversation and Shiro remained bright red, the Elder approaches me so I sit and flop both my legs on the floor so I can actually face her.
-"So from what she told me some figure was plaguing your mind was invading your mind's space she Synchronized with you to help deal with the figure but was too tired to regain consciousness' please do not be angry with her, she only wished to help.' The Elder spoke to me and I just turn a shade of red but remained composure. "No I understand where she was coming from, and besides it good thing she sent em' away I hated that bastards voice, he can just on and on for weeks so thank you. Although I didn't mind she fell asleep on me, usually when I fell asleep I was always cold so I guess it's a good change…" I say timidly and tap my fingers together to best of my abilities with these makeshift arm braces that held both my arms. The Elder just nods and with that Shiro bows a bit to her and waves to me and leaves.
-'So about this… being, I felt him that's why I came. I've never once felt pressure like that, it went beyond Arceus. Just who was that?' upon hearing her say those words my eyes returned to the emotionless ones, not a single shine within them. I just looked at her with despair and said a warning. "Trust me, if you knew they'd probably wipe this whole place out so its best I keep what I know to myself." She just stares me down with these eyes filled with uneasiness and a tinge of fear; I just blink and realize I've been giving her the same look I'd give the Goat or Akatosh "Sorry that was my persona for dealing with what you felt, any sign of anything and they'll use it to break you down until nothing left, and I got to say I was getting pretty close of just giving up but I knew my plan to leave would work." I let out a long and deep sigh; she instantly changes her vibe and persona as well and let out some bell chime-like sigh.
-'I understand, We Gardevoir can read thoughts and emotions yet most humans don't have internal barriers as strong as yours but I could make out that you're indeed not lying to me and are being protective of complete strangers… but Nathan, how do you see us. Here the humans only see us and pets or battling partners, some make do us a part of their families but as a sister or brother, and a child. But since you've not been risen with the mind set of that, what do you think of us?' I just think and think hard, I've seen many different life forms and yet not many had this level of intelligence or reasoning, the thing that made us humans feel superior to the animals. So I guess they're like people but in a different body, similar to the Watchers I guess, not human but had a human level or great intelligence. "I guess on the same level as humans considering your ability to reason and use of thought, but maybe a bit more superior due to the lack of superiority, in turn makes humans slower to evolve and adapt but we're extremely resilient, we can survive anywhere if our will is great enough. In turn I guess I see you as individuals, because a person has many definitions, and most are related to Corporations or governmental information, Individuals can be anything with reason and the thought process." I say satisfied with my summary of my thoughts, the Elder just eyes me up and I feel a light headache but it fades away. 'You may stay here as long as you wish and are welcomed here at any time. But please do not speak of this place with other humans; we are a large safe haven for Ralts, Kirlias, Gardevoirs and Gallades. And we have something humans call 'Shinings' here which are Mina and Yato both are just freshly hatched Ralts but we have one more.' I just finish for her. "And Shiro is one as well?" I ask with a tad of insecurity with my answer, Teresa only nods. 'Yes and thank you, rest up now. Shiro should be back any time now with some food.' With that she leaves me alone in this makeshift-tree-house, I just sit saw I in the hammock and thought. There are humans here, then there are animals from what I saw but also these almost human like animals 'Pokemon' are also treated as pets but sometimes as family.
-'I hope you don't mind mainly fruits, there are a few nuts but I know if may not be much…' I hear Shiro speak to me, I pull myself out of my minds space and return to reality, I see a still somewhat flustered Shiro hold a leaf with an assortment of fruits and nuts. I give a light smile, to try and relieve some of the tension. "Thanks, so I was wondering if you knew anymore about this planet or at least the continent?" I ask with a slight bit of excitement, Shiro smiles and floats over to sit beside me. I move over to give her space to down on the hammock, as she sits she uses telekinesis to hand me the leaf with the berries and nuts.
-'Well, I know that we're in a region as humans call it, Sinnoh… Sadly all I know it the geography of the Lake Verity and surrounding areas and never have left, I was raised here and destined to be here until the end.' She said somewhat sadly but perked up. 'The reason is that since I'm shining, and don't have a trainer and I never want one. I heard stories of once they get older or not, they'll trade you off for some other Pokemon. I'd rather remain from having that so I'll remain here, I'm safe my mom died getting me here right after I hatched because she knew I'd be hunted. As we're crossing the lake a group of humans already searching for the Lake Verity tribe, they saw my mother with me in her arms and began to chase her down. Before she could finish the teleport to the tribes psychic stone, a human with a 'gun' I think humans call it that and shot here in the heart shard or sensory dorsal fin if you go by the human scientific entry about us.' She gestured here amber chest shard, I just give a light hum and start undoing my bandages. I can feel it that I got enough psychic energy to use whatever that was Elder Teresa tried using on me, since I know that my power rivals the old man's best Watcher Abraham and so I think I'll be able to fix myself up like new. I kind of hate eating like a gimp. Shiro started to protest at me taking of the bandages. 'Hey, what are you doing?! Your arms have been…' She didn't get to finish because as I took off my bandages made of sticks, some tree barks and mosses, I was able to move my arms in any direction. And with that being done I began scarfing at the food on the leaf, but stop and over some to Shiro. "Um~… you want some? Hehehe" I say sheepishly she only smiles and gave her head a shake. 'I got for you and I already ate-.' Her stomach growled at her and she only went a shade of red, I light take her arm and put 3 of the apples and a few nuts, grabbed her other arm and put three of these big blueberries* (*=Oran Berries).
-"I'm not going to eat your share of the food as well, besides it's not like I need much to eat anyways." I say somewhat sternly but with a large coat of sarcasm coating it, she only giggled, which in my opinion sounded amazing almost like a chime of church bells in the distance playing a soft tune. 'Alright you caught me, but still how are you better all the sudden?' I turned to her and see she already has inhaled two of the three blue berries and is finishing off the last.
I just chuckle and answer her question. "Well, I'll tell you, but I used the same thing Elder Teresa did to me but at a more refined level, took the basics and remade it to fit my own capabilities." I think I said that too casually because of the look Shiro is giving me. 'Humans shouldn't be able to do this like that…' I just winked and said. "Well im not your average human now am I." with that I get up and walk towards the door. "After being in a weightless void for 3 years I kind of wanna go for a walk." And with I left the makeshift shelter to get a firsthand view of my new home.
