I'm sorry I didn't release a chapter yesterday but I was very tired and had other stuff to work on, though it turned out that it didn't matter I tried anyways
Last time Darrian managed to get all of Oddball's Pokémon and he went to Hawaii to try to discover more about what happened to Moon
Lycanroc were a tough pokemon, if something was happening to them then trouble must be brewing. I was here to help Colt, but maybe his turning into a pokemon was because of what is happening to the Lycanrocs. I called out Colt from his pokeball. "Colt" he growled at me when I said this, it was similar to when I used to refer to him as a Lycanroc, "Moon do you think you can find another lycanroc" I asked the Pokémon. His ears perked up when I asked this, he began to sniff the air, it only took a brief moment before he ran off.
It was hard to keep up with Moon, he was incredibly fast as a pokemon, and I was not in the best shape to run. After what seemed like an eternity of running Moon slowed down and eventually came to a stop, when I caught up with him I soon found what he was after. "Hotdogs, really" I asked him, "grrrar rah rah" he replied, I didn't know what it meant but I could only guess he said "Shut up, I'm hungry. " After this happened I decided it was pointless, I called snow out of her pokeball and asked her to try to find the scent of any other Lycanrocs. She yipped in delight and sniffed Moon before she went to sniff the air.
She turned around and looked at me before she yipped and started running. I grabbed the Lycanroc by the paw and dragged it with me, a decision I would soon regret. The Lycanroc yipped with surprise as it dropped what little remained of its hotdog after I started dragging it behind. The white furred eevee led us into a patch of woods as it continued to run. Following the small fox was difficult since it was much smaller and did not have to worry about running into branches.
We all eventually came to a stop, I turned to look at the Pokémon I had dragged behind me. I was faced with a very agitated looking Lycanroc that had twigs and leaves through its fur. I didn't have Red to protect me this time as the Pokémon jumped on top of me, Moon slashed at my right eye, it was close enough to leave a gash but weak enough that I did not lose vision in that eye. There was no doubt my new wound would leave a scar, my vision was half red as blood got in my eye. Moon went to attack again but was soon stopped by Snow, after I watched Moon push Red to the side not long ago to get to me and Mari I was surprised when he backed down from the small white fox.
The wolf pokemon got off of my chest and I was able to get up off of the ground. My only guess to why Moon listened to Snow was the fact that Snow had seniority over Moon, Moon must have seemed like an older sister to Moon now. At that moment both pokemon froze, their ears perked up and I could tell they both knew something was nearby. They turned towards each other and nodded in a silent agreement. Moon then used stealth rock to surround the space around us and Snow used dazzling gleam, both for reasons unknown to me.
At that moment two Lycanroc stumbled out of the bushes trying to cover their eyes. One of them were easily recognized by me as the midday form of Lycanroc, the other I had never seen before, it's fur was orange, like a sunset. It looked mainly like the midday form but had features that reminded me a bit of Moon, the midnight form. They both rubbed their eyes with their paws and growled at us. Then they both stopped growling as something caught their gaze, I tried to follow their line of sight and it seemed like they were looking at Moon.
Both Lycanroc walked up to Moon and sniffed him, they then gave a shocked look and started walking away, they gestured for us to follow them. I did do to the fact I was trying to learn more about Lycanroc anyways. The two Lycanroc led us to a small clearing in the woods, it was a natural spring. The small spring was surrounded by berry trees and there was a cliff with a waterfall flowing into the spring. The cliff was only about 20 feet high so it was a small waterfall. The first thing I noticed about the clearing, however, was the fact that it was populated by Rockruffs, the three Lycanroc I was with were the only ones there.
As the two Lycanroc I was unfamiliar with led us towards the waterfall I could tell that Moon was getting anxious as most of the Rockruffs would stop what they were doing to look at him, of course he made the best of the situation and growled at a few to scare them off. The two Lycanroc led us behind the waterfall, I could see that they, along with moon, were hesitant in walking through the water. I understood that their strange behavior was most likely due to the fact that they were rock type pokemon.
After entering the room behind the waterfall the orange Lycanroc started to paw at the ground, an action I did not understand until I saw it was a message, "Why does the one of midnight act like a beast" the Lycanroc asked, "What do you mean" I asked, "He was once human as well, was he not" the Lycanroc asked me. That is when I realized that each of the Lycanroc in this cave with me each used to be human. "He was… Broken" I told the Lycanrocs half heartedly. The midday form then stepped up to write next, "The water of the spring will heal his shattered mind" the Pokémon told me
Well that is it for this chapter, I hope you all enjoyed it. Starting in the next. Chapter I plan on switching the pov back to Colt's
