Okay, just to make things clear (mostly for me...) Crition is basically a kid in this fanfic and all her forms are going to be a bit older than her and have different personalities...also this is going to be a trilogy...
Today we train!
Perched high up in the canopy of trees amongst the lush green emerald leaves was me, eyes closed and listening intently to the many whispering voices of the passing wind, hoping for one of them to give away Keldeo's location amongst the tall valley of grass surrounding the crystal clear lake. With great ease stood on the branch from where I rested on and surveyed the grassy valley, my eyes focusing mostly at the rim of the lake where a suspicious shadow hid. Quickly I made my descent downward from branch to branch, making sure that not a single one swayed underneath my weight as I swiftly made my way down to the tall grass. The size of the grass hid me from sight as I crawled towards Keldeo at the edge of the lake, and constantly rotating my sensors as I grew near my opponent who was foolishly unaware of my presence.
With every second that ticked by I grew more closer towards Keldeo, up until I was barely a few inches behind him...then...I advanced upon him with one soundless leap!

Her scent was easy to detect since she smelled greatly of human and a bit of...blood? Apparently her old wounds were beginning to reopen...guess we'll have to pick up more herbs after training, but first I have to wait for the right moment to move from her 'surprise' attack.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As I advanced my mouth opened ever so wider until a formless force from within my vibrating throat began to move up, then did I released the most powerful and ear deafening roar I ever could master on too the unsuspecting Keldeo. With the use of my attack I noticed that all time began to slow down, the grass bowing down, Keldeo using his hydro pump, and the grey clouds rolling in. Then, in that instant a small tear began to open right in front of me, and reveal a small glimpse of a strange creature that with just its blood red eyes and lifeless expression sent large shivers down my spin. It's face nothing but a shadow protected by slick yellow armor, and eyes red with blood with a lifeless look in the center glared straight at me, then with an ear piercing cry disappeared along with the tear. Suddenly I felt time beginning to revert back too its original course and unexpectedly fell on top of Keldeo, causing both of us to yelp in surprise.

"Cobalion told you to wait until your wounds fully healed" He scolded from one of the herbal bushes
I responded with a glare as I sat down on a large smooth rock nearby "As I recall, it was you who was too eager to wait and train me" my voice stern with truth
He stiffened a bit but soon relaxed as he lifted his head from the bushes with a mouth full of healing herds, and faced me with a determined glint in his eyes "Well I can't help but be excited to be the first to train you" he chuckled "Besides, I wanted to show you something special after training"
I tilted my head slightly in confusion "Show me what special?"
He gave a childish grin "You'll see" and with that ran off deep into the forest
Quickly I stood up from the smooth rock and ran off after him, jumping over low hanging branches as I followed him deeper into the forest.

"Over here!" I called out, my voice cracking in excitement as I lead her inside the old abandoned mining shack
Quickly lying down next to one of wide windows motioned her with my hoof to lie down next to me, and she did but it took her a few moments to get into a comfortable position given her slightly short legs...it was sort of funny...but I held back a few laughs and a chuckle.
"So is this what you wanted to show me?" she asked, trying to look past the thick mists of fog
A chuckle escaped my mouth but thought nothing of it "No, just turn your head to the right" another chuckle escaped as she turned her head to the right, and saw her ruby red eyes widen in utter amazement while her mouth formed a toothy smile
"Sooooo" I grinned "What do you think?"
"Its like one of those castles from fairytales, but made out of ice..." I caught sight of a glint in her eyes, but soon found myself confused at her comment
"Wait, how do you know about fairytales?" I thought clones didn't know anything about the outside world...apperantly I was wrong...
With a slight grimace "My creators..." then began to face downwards, shuffling around the ash looking gravel around
I instantly felt guilty about brining up a sensitive subject and quickly tried to think of a new one, but found one to no avail until I took a second glance at Full Court.
Lowering my head to her level gently nudged her "Do you know who lives there?" I asked her which seemed to have grabbed her attention
"No" her face tilted in slight confusion "Who?"
Turning my head left and right placed a hoof around her and moved her closer to me, whispering all into her ears "I'm not suppose to tell you this until later in your training but a legendary Pokémon known as Kyurem lives inside that castle of ice...and someday, once you've unlocked your sword your going too have to battle him"
Her reaction to the news was quite different from what I had imagined, and her question a bit surprising.
"Does he ever get lonely?" she asked, eyes glazed over as she looked up at me
I took a quick glance at Full Court then turned my attention to her, not sure how to respond to the question since it never occurred to me that Kyurem would be the kind to feel lonely...he lives in an abandoned mine within a mountain crater for crying out loud...but then again he is a Pokémon just like me, and with emotions to...still...
"I...don't really know..." was my only answer
I saw she was staring at the building as I said this "Oh..."
When I took one last glance at Full Court I was shocked to see the sun had set...I'm going to be in so much trouble when we get back...quickly I picked up Crition by the scruff of her neck and placed her on my back before I began to gallop down the ash like road.
"Where are we going?"
"Home before we're even more late"

That night, while nestled deeply into Terrakion's side...which was surprisingly soft...I turned to the blissful night sky that held those beautiful twinkling stars, and pondered about that Kyurem Pokémon Keldeo told me about earlier, and wondered if he ever did get lonely, siting all alone in that giant castle of ice. Probably...I also wondered if anyone has ever tried in befriending him...probably not, given how Keldeo had described him too me...he sounded more of a monster than a Pokémon, but then again I've never met him so I probably shouldn't judge just by his description...
So with great care I slowly stood up and began to walk into the forest, clearly knowing the way to Full Court.
Wonder who that mysterious Pokémon was back there during training...
