Here's introduction number two, which is in the point of view of our second main character. I bumped up the rating a bit for language. Here we meet Avon and his introduction to the story. Enjoy.


"You can't do this to me. Please, you have to stop."

"This is for your own and our own good Avon, we have to get rid of you now."

"Please, you don't have to do this."

"Hiya!"

I run as fast as I can. They don't trust me anymore. I've been with these people for many years now, and I can no longer be a part of them. The worst part is, they want to kill me.

"That asshole's getting away! Go get him!"

I knew I couldn't stay here anymore. I was no longer trusted. I fire pin missiles back as I run, hoping to slow them down. I cut a corner and quickly open a manhole. Closing it, I try and reach the dryer parts of the sewer. I guess I could just keep walking until I find another manhole. At least, that would be my plan if I hadn't encountered these Sandile. They're all really small and I have the type advantage, but there are too many of them. Maybe I should sneak past. I tip toe past the Sandile with ease, seeing as my feet are round, soft, and smooth. That wasn't so bad. Aww crap.

Of course, with this many Sandile, at least some would evolve, I guess I just met the mother. A rather protective looking Krookodile. She does not look happy. Cacturne have a way of looking scary. Seeing one walking around in the sewers isn't very appealing. Damnit.

"You have no business here. This place is for family. And friends."

"I was just leaving."

"You're not leaving without punishment. Your trespassing at this time of night is very suspicious. You're not the nicest looking either."
"Ahh... well..."

On short notice, she shot forward and shot a sand attack at me. Ooh, I can play this game too. Sand Veil lets me evade with ease during a sandstorm. So if she can use sand attack, she can probably use sandstorm. I pretend to shield my eyes and let out a small gasp. Then my plan worked completely. The Krookodile used sandstorm, and in the blink of an eye, I had the upper hand.

"Thank you miss. You had just given me the slight advantage. Now, if you excuse me, I'll be leaving. I don't want to wake your children, so I will be on my way."

I run much much faster than her and avoid every attack she throws at me. I use the storm to my advantage and create some distance between us. Now that she can't see me, I go on my way.

Then I remember, damn I'm being pursued by my old friends. Well, there's the closest manhole. I climb up and open it up. Looking around to make sure no one's watching, I start to think to myself.

This is the last time I will ever see this place.

I quickly close the manhole and stealthily sneak to the nearest harbor. There is one boat on its way to Mistral Island, a far off Island northwest of here. I still can't believe it, I'm going to leave this city. Then, I hear the horn sound, and I rush to the freight. The cool night air brushing off my bare shoulders. The night sky was always beautiful, and the skyline of the city was very impressive. And then I see it. Lake Afar. This is my last time ever seeing this lake. I remember when I brought my kids to swim there for the first time. Sadly, that's all gone now. Nobody notices me on this ship because I'm in the steerage, which, believe me, smells so bad I can't possibly describe it. My life is taking a downfall right now.

And for the first time in years, I curled up in the corner and wept.


I know this is kind of short, but these last two chapters were just character introductions. Future chapters will have much more significance and will be much longer, I promise. Also, constructive criticism is implored, so please, review and tell me things I can improve on and what seems to be wrong. Thank you for reading, by the way.
