After we met Giroro, he introduced us to his wife and daughter, Vic. The Torchic baby was adorable, a new life to give his up. She hiccupped and smiled cutely at us, not being able to speak or walk yet. Hinote 'Awed' at her and easily picked her up, as she was a much bigger Torchic.
"Mind her head," Giroro said, holding her head. I smiled at the hazel eyes that stared at me. And then, the crying started and she had to leave.
"This is your room," Giroro said, taking us to a spacious room. There were two beds made of straw, an table with apples, and a window peering to the cliff. While we were underground from the inner part of the land, the outside of the cliff looked to the water, that went all the way to places Giroro told us about like Treasure Town, in the Shinnoh region. But, no more Pokemon came to the Sinistra region as the area was surrounded by The One's minions.
That night, I fell asleep with Hinote on our separate straw beds. The dream formed again, where I saw that familiar Gardevoir. She smiled, and chanted a song. A memory triggered.
"Sleep, Little One. Let your spirit shine. Sleep, Little One. Let your heart be mine… Let your dreams flow out. Just go to sleep and try to remember who you are. If you do you will go far…" she sang.
I was running in the blue fields of what seemed to be Hoenn. How did I remember that, I do not know. But I did remember that. A faceless boy with white hair ran next to me, with a towering water type that I could not seem to remember. He placed himself down in the field of flowers and I did the same. Then, he handed me a white flower and I looked at him, his face becoming more defined. I stared into his crystal blue eyes and saw his mouth move.
"I wish we could stay this way forever. So young and care free," he said.
"Me too, *****" I replied, trying to remember his name. We laughed and he looked at me.
"I love you, *****," he said. Then…
I woke up as the memory ended and looked to the white moon. The moon towered over me and shone on us both through the open window. I heard Hinote mutter something, and as much as I tried, could not go back to sleep. Just who was I? Why was I turned into a Pokemon? Did I have a family and friends? What was my role in this world?
"Hmm, don't eat me… I'm not tasty…" Hinote muttered, sweating in her sleep. She woke up, breathing hard and panting.
"Oh my god! I just had the worse nightmare! The One was about to eat me!" she practically squealed. Wait, did she know what The One looked like?
"How did he look?" I asked.
"Tall, a centipede like body and black bat wings. He also 6 short thick legs and gold claws. He had red spikes on his wings too." she said, shuddering. Ok, she did not know what The One looked like… For it was official no Pokemon looked like that.
"Are you kids okay?" Giroro asked, entering, "I heard screaming."
"Hinote just had a nightmare of what she thinks for The One to look like," I replied. He chuckled and said, "The One gives many of us nightmares. Now, I suggest you two get some sleep. We have a raid ahead of us tomorrow."
The next morning, we were paired with Jet again. I didn't mind him as I did the other Guild members. Probably because he was so much like me that I could tolerate him. Anyways, we made our way to the Steam Cave and began battling.
Steam Cave B2
We entered a room and saw many Pokemon falling from the ceiling. Instantly, we turned back, having the Pokemon begin to stalk us. We ventured outwards and made our way to the stairs… When another giant amount of Pokemon fell out of the ceiling.
"Wah! Another Monster House!" Jet yelled, as we ran up the stairs.
Steam Cave B4
We walked upwards to the next set of stairs, when we saw a giant market place. There were many Reviver Seeds, Max Elixirs, and even Apples. Realizing that we had not had enough to but a seed… We decided to steal.
"STOP THIEF!" The Kecleon said, as they… Well fell from the ceiling and ambushed us. We luckily were at the stairs and ran up… Only to notice one of them followed us to the next floor.
"Shit, shit, shit!" I cursed, pushing it off the stairs. It fell and they stopped stalking us.
Steam Cave B10
We finally made it to the last staircase… Where a Kanghaskhan rock stood. We saved our adventure and proceeded.
Steam Cave Pillar
We finally made it to the end. And there stood a yellow pixie.
"I am Uxie, Guardian of Memories. And I will not let you leave this place alive."
