Santalune forest was vast, with tall large trees growing and healthy patches of tall grass on the forest floor. Out of the three teens that just entered the forest, Cienna was the one whom was at most awe at the forest's magnificence and beauty.
"It's-...It's so...Different..Looking at this forest through my point of view gives off a much more different experience and feeling...," he murmurs to himself softly as the three teens followed the path that was created for passing people or trainers. Cienna's yellow cat like eyes were clouded as he was mesmerized by his surroundings, both Anna and Aleksey looked at the shorter teen questionably. Anna opens her mouth to speak up, hoping to snap out the yellow eyed teen out of his hypnotized like trance but was interrupted by Shauna's high pitched and excited call. Before he knew it, Cienna lets out a startled gasp and trips on the large root of a tree, as he ungracefully fell down the steep hill behind the root, Cienna took hold of Aleksey's messenger bag(which was nearby) and dragged the glasses boy along with him.
"Hey guys~! Do you all mind if I can come along with you guys till we are outs-...where's Ciennana and Aleksey...?," Shauna asked Anna curiously causing the taller girl to blink and start to sweat profusely. The older teen began to swear nonstop and yell at the top of her lungs.
"Shi- YOU TRAITORS! You all dare to leave me all alone!,"
"U-U'm...i'm right here next to you Anna-,"
"YOU KNOW I'M DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGE CIENNA! YOU'RE DOING THIS PURPOSELY JUST SO YA CAN GET CLOSE TO YOUR FOUNTAIN!((nickname for Aleksey)),"
"..Uh...i'll just stand and wait here till you've calmed down..ahahaha...,"
"Ugh...just where did i fell...?," Cienna asked himself softly as he slowly opens his eyes, he squinted them slightly as his vision adjusts to the darkness. He groans pitifully as he shifted his aching body which laid onto the mossy ground of Santalune Forest. Craning his neck slightly, Cienna sees Aleksey sitting next to him with a pokerface, but as he looked closely, he could see Aleksey's left hand clutching onto his ankle is if it was broken.
"Guuuhh...," He groans once again and plops down his head back onto the moist ground but was then hit by a pebble which Aleksey just thrown.
"OW! hey!," Cienna bolted up, ignoring his aching body which was screaming from the sudden movement. Both teens looked at each other with an angry glare, Cienna kicks the pebble back to Aleksey and silence filled the forest again.
"...How long have i been out?,"
Not that long...you were quiet for 10 to 15 minutes..,"
"Oh...Okay,"
"Yeah,"
"..."
"..Sorry for pulling you in with me..,"
"It's fine..though..you owe me something since my ankle is broken,"
"..."
"..."
"Well shit,"
After a long one sided argument between Aleksey and Cienna((A.N: Aleksey wasn't listening while Cienna started rambling)), both teens decides to declares on a permanent truce until they were finally out of the forest. Sighing, Cienna carefully balances the still hurt Aleksey on his shoulder while the other teen tries not to wince as he occasionally added pressure on his broken ankle. However, something caught the emerald eyed teen and he slowly shook himself off of Cienna and proceeds to look much more closely.
"Hey, where the heck are you going? You're still hurt-," Cienna's mouth slowly turns into a large gape as he fearfully looks at what Aleksey found. It was a very large tree, yellow cocoon like creatures hanged onto its branches and bark while worm like creatures with a horn on their forehead slept peacefully. Aleksey was about to step forward to look more closely but was stopped by Cienna's hand which held onto his blue jacket tightly.
"D-Don't...!..Whatever you do...do not make any loud noise..!," Cienna spoke between gritted teeth as he pulls Aleksey away from the large clearing full of the creatures. Aleksey however was a bit reluctant as he was still curious of what those creature was, huffing; Aleksey took out his Pokedex and points it directly at the creatures. However, it was a big mistake for as soon as the Pokedex made a sound, the eyes of the yellow cocoons flashed red and Cienna took the chance to grab Aleksey again and proceeds to run away from the now different looking creature which looked more like a large mutant wasp with two large stingers as its hands.
"IGNORE YOUR BROKEN ANKLE AND FUCKING RUN IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE!," As Cienna yelled out his words, the Pokedex began to speak.
[[Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon. This Pokémon may appear in a swarm. Flies at violent speeds, all the while stabbing with the toxic stinger on its rear]]
Aleksey closed his lip shut as he struggles to keep up with Cienna whom was still dragging the wounded teen along with him. Both teens were slowing down slowly as Cienna winces as he felt a stinging pain on his knees.
"Ah fuck," with no choice left, Cienna pushes Aleksey into a large bush, leaving him open for the raging swarm of bee Pokémon to strike him. He closed his eyes shut and stood there awaiting for the painful contact of stingers on his skin but felt nothing, Cienna slowly opened one of his eyes and gaped widely as a Fletchling was fighting off the swarm. However, it was outnumbered and it was quickly losing to the oversized wasps.
"Ah shi- go Akatsuki! Help out Fletchling!," throwing the pokeball at the battle's direction, Aleksey emerged from the bushes with an angered look on his face but paled drastically as he watches the one sided battle, gritting his teeth, he also took out his pokeball containing Fynn.
This is going to be a long hard battle…
"H-Hah…hah…yes..!," Cienna whooped happily as he laid against the mossy ground of the forest together with Akatsuki whom was laughing right next to him. Aleksey was smiling softly as he wipes off the dirt on his cheeks; his Pokémon Fynn started to flirt with the Fletchling whom ignored it as it began to groom itself. When it was satisfied, the Fletchling chirped angrily at Fynn and flew off into the trees.
"AH! Hey! Now look what you did Fynn! I wanted to thank that Fletchling…and catch it," Both Cienna and Fynn started to brawl, earning Cienna scratches on his skin and ruffled up feathers on Fynn. Aleksey rolled his eyes at the two while Akatsuki snorted and handed Aleksey Fynn's pokeball. Aleksey blinked at the tiny frog Pokémon then chuckles softly as he earned a glare from it.
"Okay okay Akatsuki, return Fynn!," Fynn squawked in an angered manner and before it could fly away from the pokeball's direction it was already sucked up inside. Cienna was sprawled against the mossy earth while laughing psychotically in triumph, Akatsuki and Aleksey merely rolled their eyes at him.
"HAHA I WIN! Whoop!," with a quiet sound effect comic out from his lips, Cienna sat up quickly only to fall back down. Blinking nonstop, Cienna began to struggle to sit up while he was trying hard not to hyperventilate. Cienna gave up struggling as he was even unable to move his head anymore; he struggled to look at both Aleksey and Akatsuki.
"h-help..! I think something is holding m-me down..!," He was now trying not to cry as he felt the temperature around him start to cool down. Aleksey blinks and walks up to Cienna only to be forced back by an invisible energy, mists slowly rose up from ground with a high pitched and eerie giggle echoing around them. Cienna has now began to struggle more as tears started to pour down, finally, his right hand was free and he reached out at Akatsuki''s and Aleksey's direction.
"G-GHOST! HELP M-ME!," Aleksey remembered what the trainer that he had battled outside the Santalune forest have said and he jumps into action then instantly clasps Cienna's outstretched hand with his. With a grunt and a pull, Aleksey was able to pull Cienna up but he gasped softly as he too was pushed down. Seeing the two's struggle, Akatsuki croaks angrily as it looks around for the source of the unseen force.
"Phhaa….tump….Phaphapha…~," the source of the giggle was again unseen and Cienna stopped crying as he realizes something. Quickly taking out his Pokedex, he points it above him and it instantly scans the invisible creature.
[[Phantump, the Stump Pokémon. According to old tales, these Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest.]]
"It's as creepy as its entry..," Aleksey took out his pokeball and released Fynn once again, with narrowed eyes, Aleksey commands his Pokémon to use bubble constantly. Akatsuki caught on his strategy and joins in with his own bubble, both water type Pokémon took deep breaths and spat out streams of bubble which filled the whole small clearing the four were in. One bubble popped and with a tiny sound of surprise, Fynn attention was and he swoops down with his beaks ready.
"Pha!," Fynn's beak came in contact with the invisible force and when its guard was down, it accidentally revealed itself to the four. A brown stump as a head with two branches on the side of its head, black wispy body and misty red eyes caught Aleksey's attention. The Pokémon was mesmerizing and he felt the need to scoop it up and raise it, he looked at Cienna's direction and the other teen notices his expression and he nods his head as if urging Aleksey to go ahead.
"Quick Fynn! Don't let it escape by taking hold onto its branches!," Fynn swoops down once again and its sharp talons were positioned as if to perch on the poor Pokémon's head but it's talons only passed through earning a surprised look from both Aleksey and Fynn. Cienna quickly returns Akatsuki back to his pokeball as he shouts at Aleksey's direction.
"Phantump is a ghost and grass type Pokémon!, Since it's a ghost type, normal type attacks or actions would only pass through it! Stick with either bubble or peck to weaken it!," Aleksey nodded in appreciation at Cienna's direction and shouts out another command to Fynn.
"Use peck nonstop to weaken it Fynn! Stop when I give the signal!," Fynn then landed on the ground and hopped quickly to Phantump's direction and began to relentlessly attack the Stump Pokémon with its beak. Having enough, Phantump sent a nasty glare at Fynn's direction and two will o the wisps surrounded the ghost type which surrounded Fynn. Fynn was now distracted and its eyes began to spin and spin until it wobbled in both dizziness and confusion, Aleksey bit his lip as Fynn tripped on a pebble while Cienna facepalms at their bad luck.
"Ugh…if only we have persim berry or something…!,"
"Well we don't whatever that is…but..it's already weakened enough to be caught hm?," Aleksey took out one of the pokeballs that Serena gave out from earlier whilst he remembered her words of advice for everyone. While Aleksey was aiming his pokeball, Cienna's attention was directed at Phantump whom struggled to take out something from its stump, he gasped when he saw that it was an oran berry.
Shit…this lil guy got Harvest..!
"Quick Aleksey throw it before it eats the berry!," Aleksey jumps in surprise from Cienna's urgent yell but quickly regains his composure, it's now or never. Aleksey took a stance that the PE teacher had taught him and his classmates when it was baseball season and with a throw, the pokeball hits Phantump with great accuracy. The pokeball rocked back and forth nonstop and with a small ding! Phantump was caught; Aleksey, Fynn and Cienna were gaping widely at the now still Pokémon. Before one of the three teens could make a sound, the sound of a branch breaking broke the silence.
"You…two…you dare leave me and hog all the fun! You bastards!," Anna emerged from the trees an instantly tackled the both panicking males while Shauna popped out after her and she laughs sheepishly as she watches Anna wrestle the two boys. Fynn however ignored the three after it recovered from its confusion and instantly hops to the pokeballs direction and stood right next to it; with a small tilt on its head, Fynn pressed the small white button with its trusted beak and the pokeball popped open.
"Phantaa!," when Phantump was out, it instantly raced to hide in the bushes only to be stopped when Fynn grabbed hold of its wisp like body with its beak. Phantump cries out as if begging in forgiveness, this caught all four teens' attention and Shauna cooed sweetly while Anna's eyes sparkled.
"Fynn! That's no way to treat your new teammate!," Fynn was taken aback by Aleksey's scolding and instantly let goes of Phantump and flew up to Aleksey and began to savagely peck its trainer, when it was satisfied it flew further up to a branch. Cienna sweatdrops as Fynn huffed irritation and it looked down with a look that screamed 'ungrateful trainer!'.
"Wait wait! You mean you caught it! Are you serious!? B-but...I still don't have my Pokémon yet..!," Both Cienna and Shauna comforted the mock crying Anna while Aleksey rolled his eyes as it approached the still cautious Phantump. Aleksey slowly crouches down and reaches his hand out while he gives Phantump a comforting look.
"You must be lost…would you like for me to guide you out..?," Phantump looked at the outstretched hand and then at Aleksey, it contemplated for a while until it slowly floated to the hand and allowed its cold stubby hands to touch with Aleksey's warm fingers. Phantump has decided, it'll follow this trainer to allow itself to reunite with the warm sunlight that it has longed to find for thousands of years.
"It's decided then...I shall name you Dieu,"
MON DIEU!
Dieu—it means God in French, lol Aleksey is so creative –rolls eyes-
Welp we're almost close to Santalune City!
Any Reviews? I'd like it if it were critics
And Dieu was originally planned to be more insane than creepy…but..i guess this works out –shrugs- I'll leave that personality for another Pokémon.
In the upcoming chaps, Cienna will meet his opposite..his official rival and a stalker photographer that seemed to know almost everything about them((and no it's not the gym leader))
