NOW ON WITH THE STORY! Nyah!
Chapter 2: A Voice in the Darkness
As I made my way down the steep cliff like slope I could hear the Treecko saying it's name over and over again impatiently as it waited for me at the bottom. Slightly irritated I inclined my head towards it slightly saying, "Well I'm sorry I'm so slow, but I'm not used to this in the slightest so you'll have to patient."
I heard it huff before quieting down. I sighed before I continued my decent. I was maybe 10 feet or less from the ground when my foot slipped and I fell the rest of the way with a yelp. I landed on something surprisingly soft and just lay there before I realized what it was. I quickly got up of the Treecko and began to apologize before I realized it had fainted from me falling on it. I sweat dropped and said, "Whoops. I don't think he is going to be getting up any time soon."
I picked him up and looked around but really only found rocks that seemed to be stained a gloomy gray color. I looked up and my mouth drooped as I looked disbelievingly at the sky. Above us were rocks that seemed to be frozen in midair. And not only that, but the sky was tinted a dark purple, like the end of the twilight before the sun fully sets leaving only blackness to be illuminated by the moon. In a way it was kind of pretty.
I shook my head to get out of my stupor and looked around again, this time more closely. I appeared to be on a cliff side that dropped off into what looked like an abyss. I fearlessly looked over the abyss and found what looked to be lights illuminating the darkness in the distance. It looked a lot like the night sky bake at home because it was more or less completely black. 'Just like my family's souls' I thought darkly.
I saw that I only had two paths to choose from and was lost for which one I should pick. But luckily the Treecko groaned announcing that it was awake. I quickly put it down so it wouldn't freak out that I was holding it. Now on its own two feet, it looked around and spotted me. It gave me a glare that honestly didn't seem that threatening, but it still made me uncomfortable. It glared at me for a minute longer before 'humphing' and turning around and began walking down the path. It made a gesture to follow in which I did without complaint. Something about this world made me uneasy though. 'I wonder why?' I asked myself sarcastically. 'Maybe it's because of all this darkness.'
'But I'm not afraid of the dark so why would this place be any different?' I reasoned. 'Well I got nothing' I sighed and followed the Treecko down the path.
~Time Skip?~ Unknown
We reached the bottom of the cliff path and found our selves at a forest completely devoid of color. The trees had no leaves on them and the trees looked like they had grown old and died. The air around it didn't necessarily feel dead though, just, nothing.
Treecko walked into the forest with me following on his tail, not literally. As we walked deeper and deeper in I began to notice that the trees had leaves, even though they were still gray. We got deeper in and it thus became much darker. I was about to tell Treecko to slow down , but when I looked down he wasn't there. I looked around quickly, wondering where he had gone only to find that he was no where in sight. That left me in a position that I did not want to be in. I was lost.
"Who are you?" My head snapped up and I looked around for the voice but did not find it's origin.
"Who are you?" It repeated, more insistently this time.
Deciding that it did not matter who knew my name I spoke up. "My name is Steven. Who are you?"
"Steven? What a funny name! My name is Celebi!" It relied in a cheerful voice. Only then did I notice that one, the voice was in my head, and two, that it sounded feminine.
"That's because I am feminine! I am a girl after all." She replied in her child like voice, giggling a bit as she once again read my mind.
"You know, I don't really appreciate you reading my mind." I retaliated. "Also what did you do with that Treecko?"
A giggle resonated through my head as she said, "Okay I'll stop reading your mind. Oh and he's hiding with me. He doesn't trust you so he brought you to me to communicate."
"Really?" I said, now interested. "So can you answer a few questions of mine? Oh, and thanks."
"Sure." She replied. "But you have to tell me why your here. After all, we have not seen any humans in a long while, well, I haven't."
"Really?" I asked genuinely surprised. "Well first off I have no idea how I ended up here. Second, I literally just woke up in his cave."
"Alright! Now ask your questions!" She said in a overly playful voice.
"Okay..." I said, sweat dropping a bit. "First, where are we?"
"Oh that's an easy one! We are in Treeshroud Forest!"
"Okay then. Next, why is everything so gray?"
"That's because the Planet's Paralysis silly! Did you lose your memory or something?"
"Maybe..." I said as I started thinking. 'I don't remember any thing about this world and probably never did seeing as my memory stops when I went to sleep last night. Was it last night? This place makes it too hard to tell. But I'm pretty sure I don't have Amnesia. Alright so what is the Planet's Paralysis?' "I think I might of lost my memory so could you tell me what the Planet's Paralysis is?"
"The Planet's Paralysis is where the planet stops functioning." She said, her voice taking on a much darker tone. "It's stuck in Time because of the collapse of the Temporal Tower. Time no longer moves here so we have a unending night. This causes many Pokémon to become dark and evil as they give into the darkness of this now frozen world. The few Pokémon that still retain there sanity search for a way to end this darkness and bring back the light the world use to have. However many of them perish at the hands of Dusknoir. Dusknoir works for Dialga who governs over Time. Sadly Dialga has been corrupted and has become Primal Dialga. Because of his corruption, he does all he can to make sure this horrid future never changes. So any who oppose his are sentenced to an immediate death."
I stood there listening to her voice drinking in the knowledge. When she finished I was horrified at what this world has become. I sat down on the frozen grass just processing it all. Then the Treecko came through the trees and patted me on the back, trying to reassure me. I smiled at him grateful for his help. I was about to say something when I began to get dizzy. I grabbed my head in an effort to stop it when my vision went completely black.
Yup I'm ending it there. I wonder if any of you know what happened to him? Well we'll soon find out So until next time. Nyah!
