The first part was written on my iPod so the formatting is a bit weird.
"I can answer that." An indescribably chilling yet intriguing voice said from a nearby bush. Both my head and Sierra's whipped towards the source. We couldn't see into the darkness despite the almost glaringly bright sun overhead.
"Before I reveal my identity," the voice said, "I am sorry if I partially ruined your life/picked your destiny for you. I was simply acting out a prophecy I've been waiting to complete for several millennia."
Sierra and I looked at each other uncertainly now. The way this voice spoke was starting to actually scare us.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, still not sure if I should turn and run or stay and satisfy the curiosity that would probably eat at me the rest of my life if I didn't fulfill it. The curiosity won.
"Hmmm... How to say this without making you faint or die of a heart attack..." This seriously scared me. "Ah well. I'll be blunt. You're going to be my mate. The transformation is already occurring. I wasn't actually sure if it would succeed or not but apparently it did."
I fainted when the voice turned out to be none other than Suicune. Both Sierra and I stared at the legendary. We glanced at each other, looked back at Suicune, looked at each other again, and promptly fainted. "Damn..." Suicune muttered to no one in particular.
Raikou, Suicune's older brother, stepped out of the bushes and looked between his sister and the trainer and his Pokémon she'd just made faint before stating pointlessly, "You may have been a little too blunt. I think I'll go tell dad about this now." He stated before leaving in a flash of yellow lightning to go tell their father, Arceus, about what his sister had done.
"Oh shit..." Suicune muttered to herself. She silently cursed her brother for being such a tattle tale.
I woke up staring at the sky. I'd just had the strangest dream. I'd run six miles in as many minutes and then been told by Suicune that I was being transformed into her mate. Sierra woke up while I was going over that dream in my head. It had seemed so real...
Sierra jerked upright next to me. I glanced quickly at her and then looked where she was staring. So it hadn't been such a dream after all,I thought. Suicune was looking at us with one eye closed and one eye half open. She jumped to her feet when Sierra and I stood up quickly and backed up until we hit an extremely wide tree.
"Isaac," she said, "I can explain this. Calm down."
I stood still and stared warily at her, stepping forward just enough so that Sierra could move behind me.
"Please forgive me for my bluntness earlier. I hadn't expected you to be so surprised that you would actually faint."
Despite the current situation I snorted. "That's an understatement…" I muttered.
Suicune ignored me and continued. "Several dozen millennia ago, Arceus was born. No one knows where he came from or where he is now but he was actually the creator of our world as well as all of its inhabitants; Pokémon, humans, even the legendary Pokémon like me and my brothers, Raikou and Entei. He created us all. He also gave each of the legendary Pokémon a prophecy foretelling who our mates would be. Unfortunately, a Pokémon hunter killed my mate only a few months after the prophecies were given. I didn't get close to a human for two or three millennia and, when I did, it was only to murder half the region I was in. I only finally warmed up to humans a slight amount within the last three hundred years. That warming up was because Arceus gave me a new prophecy at our millennial meeting before the one last year. At the one last year, he told me to start waiting in this area. I was going to meet my mate "within the next eighteen months. That was the meeting in the ear 2000. On a side note I will never understand humanities calendar year date."
I'd stayed silent throughout the encounter but by the end, that silence wasn't because I was moderately afraid of her. It was because I was wrapped up in her story. As she went silent, I blinked, finally freed from the surprisingly detailed summary of her life. And the honesty as far as her hate of humans had gone.
"Weren't you worried that a human would catch you?" I asked.
"Hah!" she laughed. "A human? Catch me? Even if they could –that's a huge if— Arceus created poke balls to prevent humans from capturing any of the legendary Pokémon."
"Okay…" I said, not really caring to ask another question that would only leave me more confused. Instead of continuing on the subject of her history, I changed to what was happening here and now.
"So what is supposed to happen now? You said I'm being transformed. Transformed into what exactly?"
Suicune answered, "You're being made into a Suicune. A male form I'll clarify. I'm not too sure on the details. For that we would need to go to Arceus. I plan to do that anyway but your Lucario won't be able to enter the temple. She'll need to be left somewhere. If you'd like, I can carry her back to your hometown with you running alongside me. We should be able to get there in, at most, thirty minutes at top speed."
I looked at her bemusedly. Why would she do that?I wondered to myself. I nearly jumped out of my skin when she answered my unspoken question.
"I'm doing this for both my own ends and yours. I'm tired of being alone. You are looking for an adventure and, if I'm not mistaken, revenge on Team Rocket for the death of your father. As to why I know you just asked that, we're linked telepathically." I can read your mind and you can read mine to an extent. We can't read each other's memories but we can speak over nearly unlimited distances this way.The last part she spoke telepathically to my mind.
I gulped and hoped with all my heart that she wouldn't be able to read my mind. There were some things I'd rather not have other people reading locked up in there.
She looked amused at my discomfort so I changed the subject by nudging Sierra towards Suicune. When Sierra didn't move, I actually pushed her towards Suicune until she was several feet away. Suicune crouched down and, reluctance dripping from her aura, Sierra climbed on. Suicune grinned back at Sierra and gave the Lucario just enough time to get a grip before she shot off towards Pallet town. Despite my running as fast as I could to keep up with Suicune's slightly slowed down speed, I still got to the outskirts of Pallet town several minutes after Suicune. Lucario was out cold, probably exhausted from holding back from vomiting during the unbelievably short time we made it from the outskirts of Viridian to Pallet town.
Taking to the front of your professor's laboratory and leave her there with a small note. You can explain more once this adventure is over.She said telepathically to avoid waking up Sierra.
Ok.I replied, taking Sierra from Suicune's back and going to the front door of professor Oak's laboratory. I left a small note, bluntly explaining why I'd left and that they shouldn't come looking for me. I finished with a request that she be kept safe and a promise that I would be back to take on the Pokémon gyms.
I returned to Suicune and we set off, me following her as best I could. We stopped when the sun was approaching the horizon. I didn't bother asking where we were and instead set about making camp. I was slightly surprised when Suicune asked if she could sleep in my tent with me. I asked why and she answered that I was her mate and as such should keep her warm and protect her. I didn't bring up that she was far more capable of protecting herself than I was and instead just opened the tent for her to walk in. I didn't close the door so she could get out and in more easily if she needed to.
When I climbed into my sleeping bag, I stayed there for about thirty seconds before I realized that it was boiling hot. I got out and rolled it up before laying back down. Suicune moved next to me and lay down against my stomach just as I fell asleep. I subconsciously moved my arm around her, not realizing the true meaning of that subtle action in the Pokémon world. Suicune, on the other hand, was hyper aware of the arm now petting her fur. She laid back and together we slept until nearly noon the next day, neither of us realizing the toll the run had taken on us and how it had affected their relationship. My fur was the least of my surprise when we woke up.
Bet you can't guess what's gonna happen next. Wait and see. Read and review. I'll emphasize that the second chapter ended a whole lot sooner than I wanted it to but it seemed like the perfect time to stop. Fur was a typo but I love where it's leading me... Review or PM me please! Even if it's just an idea, any reviews encourage me to right. I hate feeling like nobody likes my stories. Or the few of them that I've actually posted that is.
