Nature

He'd always been fascinated by nature. By worlds where there was some form of organic presence in some small form. Earth was such a fascinating place. Completely full of organic life in so many forms that it was almost enough to make his head spin. And it wasn't only the people that fascinated him. He was just as intrigued by the pokémon that wandered the world as he was by the humans.

They were in the simplest words he could think of nature given form. They dominated the land, owned the air, and mastered the sea's. They mastered other things as well as the terrain they lived on. He'd seen one of the creatures breathe a stream of fire earlier while another used an unseen force to guide the flame into various shapes.

It reminded him of what his master Yoketron and any masters of Circuit-Su and Metallikato could do with ease. It was something that he himself continued to fail at. It was quite amazing that these creatures could do things that took mech's vorn's to learn how to do with what appeared to be utter ease.

And the humans were partners with these creatures or so Sari had told Bumblebee when he'd asked the child. He however doubted that all humans shared the same view as the seven year old.

It was nature after all for some to be born with kindness and some with cruelty. It was very unlikely that the humans were that different in their ways of processing things than they were. Everything that thought had it own personality and its own ways of doing things. Even Sari and her pokémon. He'd watched them quite closely the few times they had been near each other. Though more often than not neither Sari nor her pokémon were aware of his presence.

He clung to the shadows when he was in their presence, unless ordered by Optimus to stop hiding. He'd learned quite a bit about the nature of Sari and her little pink and cream companion. Sari called the little Skitty, Dizzy and the name suited her to a T. The Skitty was energetic and easily distracted by anything that moved. In fact she often chased her own tail until she couldn't stand up straight.

Despite the energetic and energy filled demeanor that she usually portrayed Dizzy had a side to her that he was sure that only he, Sari, and the unknown being Tip had seen. He watched not even a joor ago as the little cat had stalked the slowly moving dot of Sari's laser pointer with the skill of a predator.

Dizzy had gone from loud and energetic to quiet and calm in a matter of moments. She had crouched down towards the ground and locked eyes on the small red dot with an unbroken gaze. Her tail had lashed back and forth silently as she'd crept forward preparing to pounce on the unsuspecting dot.

He'd been utterly fascinated by the sudden change in how Dizzy had acted. Gone had been the silly kitty and in it's place a lithe hunter had been born. Dizzy's true nature had taken over and she was going to get what she was stalking. Prowl watched as her tail stilled and she pounced. Only for the dot to move before she could catch it, not that she truly would have been able too. The little cat had growled and turned to her trainer uttering noises that were more than annoyed.

In that few seconds the hunter was gone and the silly little cat was back. For half a moment he'd been disappointed. A part of him had been hoping that the silly act had been a façade, a mask that was hidden behind. Then of course he realized that both the hunter and the silly cat were one and the same.

The silly cat was Dizzy by nature and so was the hunter. Which one was seen simply depended on the situation at hand. Dizzy had taken her hunt for the dot seriously and so a more serous part of her nature had shown up. Even Sari, silly little thing that she was, could be serous when the occasion called for it.

In fact all creatures were the same way, except for perhaps Bumblebee. The situation at hand determined what part of their nature, of their personality shown through. And really Sari and Dizzy were so alike it was almost amusing. Both were hyper and silly and energetic. Both were young. Both were still younglings.

Some part of Prowl's very being seemed to flinch at that thought and at the memory that was for the briefest of moments far to close to the surface. An old part of his nature seemed to flare back to life. He'd once guarded younglings and sought to reach out and touch the Allspark as his master had.

He'd failed both.

But perhaps the situation on Earth could help him reach the desires results in his training. He was sure that the animals and pokémon of the world had much they could teach him. There were many ways to reach enlightenment after all. There was even the possibility of redeeming himself in some small way.

Sari was a youngling and the key she wore around her neck did hold part of the Allspark's power. It seemed only logical that he help keep her safe while they were still on Earth. She had mentioned something about training and learning to Bumblebee. Perhaps he could help her along with that in some way.

It wouldn't do to have a youngling out and about that didn't know how to defend herself. He'd have to ask Optimus about it of course and he was quite sure that he'd refuse but he wasn't technically part of Optimus's team.

And well it wouldn't be the first time one of them had disobeyed a direct order and as energetic as Sari seemed he doubted that she'd refuse his offer. Nodding to himself Prowl jumped from the tree he'd been hiding in, causing quite a few people and pokémon a good scare, and started making his way towards their sunken ship. He never noticed an the part of himself he had tried to push back earlier came towards the front. Old programming refusing to die completely especially when there was a reason for it to be active again.

Ooooooooo

I probably confused the hell out of you guys didn't I? Sorry if I did. I didn't intend for it to turn out this way but it did and I actually kinda like it. I intended for this to be Prowl pondering on the nature of pokémon and people in general but that didn't happen. Instead he ponders their nature (humans and pokémon in general) then thinks of Dizzy's nature and how alike she and sari are and for whatever reason he ends up pondering about himself. Once again not as long as I would have like but that's okay. I'm still trying to get into their heads. That and right now all their really gonna do is think. But that'll end in a few chapters when the action starts. Oh and you guys will find out who tip is next chapter.

Daughter of Sekhmet: You will get your battle scene just not in chapter one. I'm going to turn it into a separate chapter possibly from Fanzone's Pov. I asked Jojo and she approved. Oh, and so far I have no plans for legendary pokémon to appear though that can change as new chapter ideas are thought out.

SeekerMoonblade: I shall post a link to jojo profile on my account so that you can go look at her pis's.

Please drop me a review. And don't forget about the petition I asked you to sign last chapter. We are still in need of names.
