I was sitting in an empty white space, the espeon in front of me, going on about honor or some shit, I wasn't really paying much attention. She stopped talking for a second and then asked, "What's your name?"
"Edward Atyr, what about you?"
"It's Lilith, now, are you ready to fight?" I reeled back in shock, this psychic was asking if I wanted to fight, and I didn't know how to use any moves.
"F-fight? I can't fight you, I'll get my ass kicked!" However, as I said this, I remembered that a glaceon could drop its body temperature, and I began to formulate a plan using that. I sighed, and closed my eyes, imagining a frozen tundra, snow flying through the air, and I felt my body temperature drop so low the moisture in the air began to freeze. I opened my eyes and said, "Sure, let's fight, I need to get some practice. I don't care if my mind turns to mush."
"Oh, don't worry, I won't do that to you, unless you want me to of course." She winked as she said this and I visibly recoiled before launching myself forward at her. As I hit her, she bit into the loose skin on the back of my neck and flipped me over, putting her front paws on me to hold me still. I closed my eyes and felt the temperature drop to that I doubt my old body would have survived, as I did this, Lilith jumped back, out of the reach of the cold. I watched as her eyes flashed blue, and I was lifted off the ground before being launched backward twenty or thirty feet. I pushed off with my hind legs, before breaking into a sprint straight towards her, and, quite predictably, she stepped to the side with ease, only to be met with a blast of cold I forced out of my body, causing a massive ring of ice to form on the ground, making Lilith slip. As she struggled to her feet I jumped towards her and pinned her with my weight. "Alright, stop, you win!" She called out, "I don't know how you figured out how to do that, as Arceus said you're from a different reality. You did good, congratulations."
"Thanks, I'm gonna go sleep for a year now, because that took way too much out of me." As I said this, the white around us faded and we were back in the throne room, Arceus chuckling.
"You're adjusting quick, and you're very resourceful, that will come in handy. Now, would you like to ask anything of me?" The Alpha Pokemon spoke in its inexplicable manner, it wasn't psychic, the voice just came out of it. I sighed and shook my head no. "Good, then, you are hereby to be recognized as my knight, go and serve the pokemon of this world." With that, I was back on Mount Coronet, standing in the same crater. I jumped over the edge, landing in the thick snow, then I heard a scream. It was high pitched, and came from directly behind me. I whipped around and saw a man with a gun, pointed directly at a small riolu. I leapt at the man, spinning mid-air and pushing off of him with my hind legs, landing with a thud I watched as he whipped around and fired at me. I pushed off the ground as hard as I could, launching straight up. As I landed I leapt forward, biting at his legs as I went between them. The man quickly attempted to kick me but I leapt up and used his leg as a step to get a higher jump, tackling him to the ground. I heard him gasp as the air was expelled from his lungs. As he attempted to push me off, I bit into his arm, then sent out a pulse of cold air, piercing his thick sleeve, and chilling him to the bone. As he swung his arm, my grip loosened and I flew through the air before slamming into a tree. I gasped for air as I struggled to get back onto my paws, hearing a crack I whipped to the right and saw the riolu laying on the ground, the man holding a knife over him. I felt my adrenaline surge and I leapt through the air, clamping my jaws on the man's neck as I twisted midair. As I landed I felt the man twitch a few times, then he was still. I let go of him and stared in horror at what I had just done, I just killed someone, and yet I didn't feel guilty. All I felt was confusion, but before I could continue pondering this I felt two arms wrap around my front leg. I glanced over and saw the riolu crying into my fur, hugging me tightly. Then it spoke, in a shaky voice,
"Th-thank you, s-sir." I just stared at the riolu, who I now knew was a girl.
"It's no big deal, I'm just doing my duty." I mumbled, looking away from her.
"W-what's your name sir?" I recoiled at her question, wondering why she wanted to know my name.
"It's uhhh… Ed, Edward Atyr." I shifted nervously away from her, as I was aware she could sense emotion.
"Thank you for saving me, could… Could I t-travel with you? Please Sir Atyr, I can fight well, that human just took me by surprise."
"S-Sir?"
AN: Yeah yeah, it's short, fuck you, I've been out of it recently. Just, leave a review or some shit like that. See you when I finally finish chapter five of A Fairy's Kiss.
