"Duck! Follow me!" I yelled.
"Attention! Umbreon has died!" My watch said.
"Espeon keep up!" I yelled behind me.
We continued running through the dead forest, trying to dodge attacks. But moments later, Espeon was ripped in half.
"Attention! Espeon has died!" My watch said again.
"This isn't going well!" I thought.
I continued sprinting, ripping my skin apart from the sharp glass poking out of the walls. As the metal footsteps ran after me, I didn't even get the item, and it already threw a boss at us. I ended up running out of the arena, making us fail.
"Left arena. Trail failed!" The watch announced.
I was automatically healed, as I fell to the ground. And my team was waiting for me. Umbreon walked up to me.
"Hey, we can do it next time. Always need to fail at lease once. Let's get some food and try again." He said.
I nodded slowly, and got up. Following them to the city. As we walked in the city, I saw that random legendary trail goer.
"Guess like you failed. Not a big surprised… Now will you let me in?" He said.
"Fine, yes… If you really want to help us… Then you can join..." I replied.
"Cool, now let's go after getting some supplies..." He replied.
After eating, and gathering all we needed, we headed back to the trail room. And the skeleton appeared in front of us.
"Oh, the legendary?! Now you three can learn from him. So, are you ready to face the trail of broken memories?" It said.
"Yes, we're ready..." I said, and we were transported.
We stood in front of the shard maze, and this legendary trail goer looked at us.
"Okay, now follow my lead..." He said.
And with that, we entered the death maze. And this legendary lead us through the maze, and moments later, we reached the required item. Picking it up, he then sprinted, and we followed. Hearing the massive slam of the boss. But somehow, we made it out within 30 seconds. And I was surprised.
"And that's how it's done..." He said.
Tossing me the item, I then heard the guardian.
"The legendary can teach you things… The power is yours..."
And with that, I quickly scattered to the scroll. The scroll wrapped me around a misty purple. And moments later, I woke up with a question mark on my arm. Four out of eight, guess I'll get this done fairly quick. But being on a time limit, I guess I gotta be quick. And this legendary walked up to us.
"Now, if you want to get the power… For whatever reason… I'll be your companion till that..." He said.
"First… What are you?" I asked.
"Heh, guess I should show myself to you…" He said, lifting off his mask.
And I stood in front of a, Minccino.
"Never really show myself… But yes, I'm also the first one to gather every power. Oh, I think around three years ago..." He said.
"Whoa, first one? How?" I asked.
"To be honest, I went in alone. And completed every single one." He replied.
"That's impossible!" Umbreon exclaimed.
"Nah, it's not. Just gotta get on your toes… And I can do just that." He said.
After talking a bit, I wanted to head to the next trail. But Minccino denied. Saying we should always take at lease a day off. For every trail. But I couldn't waste time, and I told him my issue. But he seemed to still reject, and said I still had time. And I was still resisting, but gave up. And so we went to a nearby park in the city.
Umbreon and Espeon were talking to someone on the phone, and I was wondering who. So I walked up to them.
"Uh, who are you talking to? That Riolu?" I asked.
"No, our friend Braixen… Oh! That reminds me, I think you dropped this..." Espeon said, handing me a small box.
"A… Small box?" I thought.
I thanked her, and walked off. Wondering where this box came from. Sitting down next to a tree, I opened it. Expecting nothing, but when I did. I noticed the gently placed of an obsidian gem. My mind went into question, I never seem this type of gem. And is only found near the core of the earth. And a fortune in stores. Used to make extremely powerful tools, house components and even electronics. I walked back up to her.
"Where did you find this?" I asked.
"Dunno, I just found it besides you when you passed out… Thought it was yours." She said.
Not wanting to make a long conversion, I just said.
"Uh, yeah this is mine… Must've fell out of my pocket… Thanks..."
And I walked off. It was strange seeing an obsidian gem. But I didn't think much of it. Maybe it was a reward for completing the fourth trail. But it still made me feel strange, I didn't see anything like this. Even when I awoke. But not thinking much more, I stuffed it in my pocket, and enjoyed the sun.
The next day came pretty quickly, I woke up feeling half cold and half hot. As I was sleeping in a tent. Slowly unzipping my sleeping bag, I noticed Umbreon and Espeon sleeping next to me still. Looking at my watch, it was only five in the morning. And feeling a powerful urge to pee. Thinking that's why I woke up, I quickly unzipped the tent and went out. And the sudden amazing breeze hit me.
I made my way near the forested area, to do my thing. And once I finished, I was heading back. But stopped, as I had that feeling of being watched. I slowed my walk, and started looking around. The sun barely peeking over the mountains.
"If anything was watching me, hopefully they didn't see me pee..." I tried lightening my mood.
Not seeing anything, I thought it was my mind. Darkness always makes my mind create things. But not thinking more of it, I quietly crawled back into the tent. In about four hours, we'll be going to the next trail. And this time, we'll speed through it. With Minccino. And hopefully that's true.
I fell asleep, thinking about that Litten, and what he was doing now...
