Curse of the Black Rose

Chapter 7

Mystery, tension and Eterna Forest!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon and most of these characters


It was late in the night and the group decided to rest at the end of Route 205.

May feeling really tired, quickly fell into another nightmare.

"That's it, May!" Drew shouted. "I'm tired of dealing with you!"

"Drew..." May whimpered. "Don't leave me!"

"My decision is final! Now leave me alone!" Drew hissed. He turned and started to walk away.

"Drew!" May cried, running after him. Even running at full speed, she wasn't able to catch up with him. "Drew! Come back!"

"May!" a voice called, shaking her. "Wake up, May!"

May opened her eyes to see Drew look down at her. Letting out a sigh of relief, she hugged Drew.

"A nightmare?" Drew asked, rubbing her back. May nodded.

"You were leaving me," May whispered.

"I won't leave you, don't worry," Drew reassured.

"Has anyone seen Vi?" Jack asked, looking around. "She doesn't disappear without telling anyone."

Everyone shrugged. Suddenly, May realized something.

"OMG! I've been traveling with Drew in the Pokemon World for over a year!" May exclaimed happily. Kiara looked at her confused. May launched into her "magic mirror" incident from over a year ago.

"You're not from this world?" Yusei asked. "I'm shocked. I didn't know until you said so now."

Akako looked up from his spot to see, Violet walking towards them.

"Looks like someone's back," he announced.

Jack walked over to Violet, "Where did you go? Something wrong?"

"I'm sorry I worried you," Violet apologized. Her eyes scanned the area.

"We should probably get going now. Eterna Forest is pretty big," Jack brushed off. He looked at Violet, she shook her head and started to walk.

"Welcome to Eterna Forest," Kiara read the sign.

Violet closed her eyes, leaning against tree. Eyes flying open, she picked a wild Buneary gently petting it.

"I need to go ahead," Vi quickly stated. "I'll see you all later!" She looked at Jack. "I'll tell you tonight."

Whispering something to Buneary's ear, it bounced off. Vi jogging after it.

"I'm going to follow her." Akako declared. Ichigo started to protest but was interrupted. "I still don't trust her."

He took off towards the direction Vi was last seen.

"Well, Akako is right in a way," Ichigo thought out loud. "Violet seems different."

"Was that even her Buneary?" Yusei asked.

"Nope," Jack replied.

"Then how was she able to get it to help her?" Kiara pondered.

"She has her way with Pokemon," Jack replied proudly. Drifting into thought.

"I see..." Drew mumbled.

"Hey Jack?" May interupted his thoughts. "Could you tell us more about Vi?"

Jack shook his head. "I'm sorry. That's not my story to tell. She'll explain it all some day."

"Oh, okay..."

Violet stopped, Buneary paused looking around, waiting. Violet turned around to see Akako.

"You should leave," she sighed. "They'll find out I looking for them with you following."

"They?" Akako asked. "What are you talking about?"

"I'll tell you once I figure everything out." Violet explained, voice softening. "As for why I won't battle you, you'll find out at the same time. Now leave, pleased."

Akako turned to start leaving, "Fine." He quickly disappeared into the forest.

Violet continues following Buneary. After a few more minutes of walking, it stopped with a happy bounce.

"Thank you," Vi petted the Buneary, handing it a Oran Berry. It bounced off, satisfied it was helped.

Vi crouched in the bushes, peeking out at the scene. Her eyes widen, absorbing everything she heard and saw.

"No way..."


Wondering what Vi saw? Well, you'll see soon.

I think I'm turning this into a mystery story...

So anyone slowly piecing together the puzzle? Slowly figuring out my story?

It's not that simple! XD

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
