Ok this chapter maybe filled with spelling errors and grammar problems. I read over it. But I do miss stuff with I'm really excited or inspired for a chapter. So if you see something wrong let me know. Otherwise I'll read over it when I'm calmer and more level minded. I hope you like it.
~Legend of the Bond~
"Professor…I have a question." Amy meekly asked Vexzle as she crept her way into his office. Vexzle was sitting at his large cherry wood desk writing something. Vexzle's office was a six foot by six foot room with bookshelves from ceiling to floor on every wall but for the east side of the room. On the east side of the room was a large window and his work desk. Most of the windows in the house were located on the east or west sides of the walls. This was because Xates like to stare into the sun as it rises and sets. Amy would sometimes catch Vexzle staring into the sunlight like he was seeing beyond the living world and into a time unknown to the rest of the world. At this moment Vexzle seemed to be staring like that into whatever he was writing.
"It's about the Pichu." there was a long pause. Amy didn't say anything in reply mostly because she was shocked that he guessed…or maybe knew that she would ask him. "You want to know if I can hear his voice. Well my little one I cannot. Only you can hear him until he remembers his promise." Vexzle's tone was one of cold metal. "So I can't free him?" Amy asked grimly. "My dear you have already freed him. Mark unconsciously chose you, Amy. There is a story to that crypt; the story about the powerful Pokémon has two sides. Come and sit on my lap Amy I'm going to tell you the story." As Amy hopped done the two short steps at the doorway and walked over to Vexzle. He leaned down and placed her on his lap.
The sun had long set but he still stared out the window like it was there. Amy loved sitting on his lap as he'd tell her stories of legends and myths. This story time was only started the night Amy was brought to Vexzle's home. In had been very late at night when the Elders' knock at the door had woken Vexzle. When he opened the door the Elders held out the crying three year old Torchic. It was only for the night, they'd come back for Amy in the morning. The Elders didn't plan on leaving Amy in his care for long, but then again they also planned to save Amy's parents and many others from the flood. But with all their might even with the help of the Rescue Teams in the area many Pokémon died that night. Amy was one of the few saved.
But while the Elders rushed into the night to help Vexzle was stuck with a screaming baby. But Vexzle didn't mind really, he knew that watching the baby Torchic was just as helpful as if he ran out into the rushing water himself. Amy just cried and cried; she wasn't hungry, she wasn't hurt, her feathers weren't wet anymore since he had dried her off the second he got her into the house. So he could think of only one thing that might be the cause of her crying. She wanted comfort; she wanted a small piece of home on this strange night in this strange Pokémon's arms. So he sat her down in his lap and told her stories all night until the sun came up the next day. All the while Amy listened and grew quite. And when they came that morning they gave Amy the bad news about her parents. When they asked Amy if she had any family she had shook her head no, but asked if she could stay in Vexzle's care. The Elders grimly looked at Vexzle, none daring to ask him to take in the orphaned Pokémon, but with a simple nod of his head the Elders signed Amy into his care. And while Amy wasn't planned for she became his most precious child.
(*All the while Vexzle is telling this story Mark in the other room is dreaming of his past. So I'll bold Vexzle's story telling and italic Mark's dream.*)
"Ok the legend is called 'Crypt of the Reborn Hero'. A long time ago there was a baby Pokémon with untold power. This baby Pokémon was a Legendary Pokémon called Unkonwka (Unknow-KA). Unknowka was the Legendary of Bond between the human world and the Pokémon world. Unknowka could not evolve on her own; in fact she needed help to evolve like no other Pokémon had ever had in the past. Most Pokémon need experience, stones, other items, trading, special events or times to evolve. But Unknowka needed pleasant human memories to evolve in times of great need."
"Mark…I won't ask you to do this for me. I can't bear for you to do this for me only because I asked. You have to decide if your memories really make you who you are, or if you make the memories what they are."
"In order for this to work Unknowka had to choose a human with kind memories. The memories had to be pure and the human had to be one of deep kindness. If the human's memories where tainted and foul. Unknowka could end up evolving into a wick Pokémon of a hateful bond, instead of the pure bond that had brought about Unknowka's birth to begin with."
"Unknowka…my memories have helped to shape my life choices up to now. But memories do not make the human who they are. Memories after all change over time, and many are forgotten and yet we keep going. We are still who we are. Sometimes the memories alone can twist our hearts into doing the wrong thing to get pay back for the hurt feelings of the past."
"Unknowka went out into the world to find a human who would willingly give up their human memories. Unknowka encountered many humans and Pokémon on her long journey but everyone seemed to want to hold onto their memories no matter how fragile their memories were. So Unknowka went home to her crypt like caves, dreading that there would be no hope for the future if she could not find a human before her long sleep.
Then one day a human wondered into the cave. Unknowka found the human wondering around the cave taking pictures of the wild Pokémon there. Oddly this human had no Pokémon, or any weapon of any kind. Yet the wild Pokémon in the caves didn't attack him. The human seemed to understand Pokémon very well; he somehow learned to talk to wild Pokémon with body language.
"I remember how all the Rhyhorns would roll over for you like tame Skittys after you showed you meant no harm to them. How you lovingly cared for their sick and young when the Pokémon of my cave started to trust you."
"This human had a dark past be he refused to let his past change who he wanted to be. So while the human had seen painful events and death in his life; his heart remained pure. And in Unknowka's mind the truly purest memories of all human's living at the time. Anyone can let bad events in their life blind them to what is right. But it takes someone very special who can look pasted all the bad events to see what life can give them if they keep a pure heart."
"Unknowka…I want to help you. I want there to be a future for everyone even if that means I'll lose my own past and future. Take my human memories and evolve."
"This human came to Unknowka and willing gave up his memories for the better of the future even at the price of his own past. And maybe even his future as well. Unknowka absorbed this human's memories, and with the memories the human's body went with it. All that remained was the human's spirit. As Unknowka evolved into Aknowha (A-know-HA) the human spirit was marked and placed into the body of a Pokémon. Aknowha laid the human Pokémon into a small tomb and protected him in a blackish time void. Aknowha then rushed off to battle an unknown evil."
"From this day on you will be marked as my Bond Holder. I must go now; I will be back for you. Understand this only when you've chosen your guide and you're human memories start to come back will you awake. And when you wake, in a short time frame the final battle will take place. I will come to you again and ask for your human memories to evolve."
"Why do you need my memories after you've evolved already Aknowha?"
"Because I will de-evolve after I battle the evil in this time frame. Meaning I will need your help to re-evolve. Some Pokémon have stones. Some have trainers that trade them. Some have battle experience. Some have special events and times. And some with special items. But I have you; I have my special Bond Holder. You are my most precious friend and greatest weapon. Please remember to be faithful to me…Mark Peterson."
"I will…Aknowha…I will remember the past so that there will be a future…"
"The Pokémon was locked away until the time of his awakening. He would awake once he chose his guide. And a long journey they will go to remember his human life. Once all the memories return to him Aknowha will come for him and absorb the pure memories again and bring an end to this unknown evil."
(*Back to normal story mode with Vexzle and Amy.*)
"Vexzle…what evil?" Amy asked. "That I don't know. I've tried to look into the past to find our enemy's Identity. But only see a black human shaped monster with 18 different colored eyes and who's screams are not like any pokemon or human know. This unknown evil is not of this world…it is from a rip in space." Vexzle replied. Amy gasped and looked up at Vexzle in horror as her mind screamed, 'THAT…THAT MONSTER IN THE CRYPT! IT WAS THE EVIL! IT WAS LOOKING FOR MARK WASN'T IT! IT'S THE EVIL AKNOWHA IS TRYING TO STOP FROM ENTERING IN OUR WORLD!' "Amy…I know you're scared but…I have to tell you this. Mark is that human. I can feel it. And you're…you're his chosen guide. Mark has picked you to come with him on this journey." Vexzle's voice pieced Amy's numb mind but due to her overpowering fear she couldn't move, think, or say anything in return.
Vexzle set Amy on his desk so that she was looking straight into his eyes as he said the next part. "Promise me one thing Amy. …Never betray your heart. Your heart belongs with Mark, you're his guide he needs you more than anyone. No matter who gets hurt, no matter what happens. Stay with Mark, your heart wants to save Mark! So promise me you won't betray your heart for anyone, not even if that promise is me!" It clicked then in Amy's mind what Vexzle meant, 'If I get hurt or killed you must chose to save Mark over me.' "No! No NO! I CAN'T DO THAT! I CAN'T MAKE THAT CHOOSE!" Amy screamed in pain. "You may not have to. I'm just readying you for that possibility. Remember what I said about running into the crypt to prove you're brave?" Amy nodded. "Well this will be you're real test of bravery. Prove you're brave by being able to face possible outcomes even If they aren't ideal. Prove you're brave by standing by your friend in hard times like this. Prove you're brave by protecting what you love and stand for. …Promise me Amy…" Vexzle's wings were now on Amy's shoulders as he pleaded with her. And with teary eyes Amy cried in a loud voice filled with pain and sorrow, "I promise Professor! I promise even if this journey rips everything and everyone away from me! I'll still standby Mark, I'll save him for the future, for you, and most of all for Mark!"
"Amy are you ok! Why are you crying?!" Mark's voice made both Vexzle and Amy jump. They both turned and saw the Pichu in the door way with no purple void around him. He was flopped on the steps in front of the door. Seemingly he had made a mad dash for the room and had tripped over his camera's shoulder strap. As the three of them stared at easy other it hit home for Mark… "I can see…I can MOVE! HOW?! WHY?!" seemingly his surprise came as fast as it went, "Amy are you ok?! I heard you wailing and crying? Are you hurt?" Mark's whole body seemed to scream panic. Amy blushed at his concern for her well-being over his own problems. Mark didn't see the blush since her cheeks and eyes were already red from crying and screaming. "I'm fine. This whole thing is just hard to swallow all at once." Amy murmured. "Yes…yes it is a lot to take in. Maybe it's time we all try to get some sleep. We can think more on this in the morning Little Ones." Vexzle cradled Amy in one wing and cradled Mark in the other wing as he carried them back to the large nest. Where all three cuddle up next to each other in hopes of sleep they all doubted would take them tonight.
