Fate's Plan
Author: Hey, I know this seems a bit of a cut between an important chapter, but if I did that it might get a bit boring and seem like filler. Though I did put a short paragraph to make up for that. It might seem a bit of a lazy move, but I wanted to get moving on the story.
A few days past as Araen got to know Riolu more. Riolu was released from the center and the two started to become friends. Though Araen's Mom was a bit worried with Araen having a Riolu so early. Riolu never left Araen's side after that, as Riolu felt like Araen was the only one he could trust. They did many walks through the forest as it kind of was their favorite thing to let them "talk", and hang out alone. Riolu got used to Mason and Black after convincing Riolu that they wouldn't hurt him on your own. A few weeks past and Araen and Riolu seemed like really old friends. Though, that was about to change, as the two were on one of their forest walks.
While walking, Araen's phone rang. He was suspecting it to be his mom but it turned out to be Mason. "Hey Mason, what's up?"
"Dude, I found this awesome temple! You want to go explore it?"
"Mason, I'm not there with you, so how would I? Plus why there were be a temple on this island? There is nothing"
"You know the clearing with the two ponds? Go there, and I'll meet you there and show you the thing." Araen looked at Riolu in question, they were pretty close to the certain clearing and so the two ran there.
Mason was already there, sitting on a rock with his Poocheyana lying in his lap.
"Hey Araen!"
"Hey Mason, you brought Black here too."
"Yeah, so you want to sea the temple?"
"Sure, where is it?" Mason pointed in some random direction.
"Over there, its awesome! Race ya there!" Mason ran and Araen followed.
It was a pretty long race until Mason stopped in front of the entrance that was carved into the rock. There was a Lugia above the door with red jeweled eyes with its wings opened wide. "Sweet huh?" Araen looked at the Lugia, and jumped back. "What Araen? Scared of a rock?" Mason teased.
"The Lugia… it… there was…."
Mason laughed, "Yeah right, I'm going in." He started walking into the temple with Black following closely. Araen looked at Riolu who had a worried look on his face. Against his gut, Araen ran in with Riolu on his shoulder.
There was a single room with a small skylight and many hallways leading out. Mason was standing in the center looking around. "So, which hallway?" Mason asked. Riolu shivered while Black kind of scoffed at Riolu's fear. Araen looked and then saw one hallway with a red ruby on the top. "The one with the ruby?" Araen said. Mason saw it and the group walked into the hallway. The hallways were bland except for the occasional wall of writing. It seemed to go on until there was a large room leading off to the side.
"Come on, this room seems pretty cool." Mason said and dragged Araen in. The room was some shrine to what looked like Lugia. There was a gigantic stone Lugia in the middle of the room with ruby red eyes. The boys stared at the Lugia until Mason looked down and saw a crystal below the Lugia. "Finders keepers!" Mason shouted as he pushed Araen away and darted to the crystal. Araen caught himself and then darted to the crystal himself.
"I WIN!" the two said simultaneously grabbed the crystal at the same time. The two the pulled it up and the stone Lugia started to shake. The two boys backed up in fear with Mason holding the crystal. The stone Lugia cracked and fell to show black skin, it kept cracking and showing a black Lugia. When half the stone fell the black Lugia screamed and shattered the stone. It eyes remained ruby red, but now glowing. It was Shadow Lugia.
"I AM FREE!" Shadow Lugia screamed and cracked the stone walls. "THERE IS NO PRISION THAT CAN HOLD ME!" It looked down to see the two boys and Pokémon frozen in fear. "Well, I guess I should thank you two humans. I guess a reward is in order?" There was no reply. "How about I release you of being disgusting humans?"
The crystal started glowing again and the boys started to feel faint. Their Pokémon started to fade. Things were becoming blurred, all the while Shadow Lugia laughed. The boys fell to the floor with their Pokémon disappearing, and the boys were covered in then covered in darkness.
Araen opened his eyes, seeing the blue sky. "What happened?" Araen asked as he shook his head. He felt like his whole body was smashed. He pushed himself up to see where he was. He pushed himself up to see black little Riolu feet, attached to a blue Riolu body… wearing his clothes… attached to his head. He looked to see little Riolu hands attached to him, but there were fingers. He felt his face, it felt strange and unfamiliar, his ears were on top of his head and he felt things attached to the back of his head. He looked to see a pond nearby and used it to see a Riolu like face. He wasn't fully a Riolu, but neither was I human, I was something… in between.
Author's note: Yes that is what this story is about. I cannot find a simple story that doesn't mess up the entire pokemon universe and involve pokemon human hybrids or remain unfinished. It seems like I am being contradictory, but I cannot find one like that, and I thought I would be able to make a good one. I have to say I think it's succeeding, but I to be positive, I need your input on the story on if this story is failing. I also need to ask what is the technical term for pokemon human hybrids? Pokemen? Pokehumans? Pokehybrids? Pokethos (Anthropomorphic Pokemon)? Or is it something else?
