Chapter 11: Give all my secrets away….
-Kate's POV-
"Excuse me? Are you perhaps Xatu?"Ashlee asked the frozen Pokémon on the cliff.
There was no reply.
"Hello? Excuse me? Mr. Bird Pokémon? Can you hear me?" She waved a paw in front of the frozen pokemon's eyes.
Still, no reply.
"Well, Kate? What am I suppose to do now?" Ashlee asked with a troubled look on her face.
I shrugged. "Tickle him?"
"Well, I guess its worth shot."She seemed a little disappointed by my answer.
We finally reached the Hill of the Ancients, where Xatu was suppose to be. Maybe Alakazam was wrong and gave us the wrong place, cause this Pokémon was not wanting to be respondent. But he did say Xatu was the Pokémon that stared into the sun all day… So….
Ashlee began tickling the Pokémon with her vines.
No reply.
She tickled it more. "Tickle, tickle, tickle."
Still, no reply.
"TICKLE! TICKLE! TICKLE! TICKLE!"
There was a muffled laugh. And then all of a sudden the pokemon busted out laughing.
Ashlee backed away. "At least he finally laughed….."
The Pokémon let out a weird cry and said. "The sinking of the sun…."
It turned to us. "Indeed, I am Xatu. You two had figured out my true identity. You two are not an ordinary sort." He looked at us, each in turn and seemed to stare at me for a long while.
"Guessed your identity?" Ashlee looked confused. "That's a little, out there. "
"….No, I can tell you this much." Xatu stared at me while he talked. "You there. You are no ordinary Pokémon. You are….human, yes?"
He caught us all off guard.
"How did you know?" Ashlee exclaimed.
Xatu turned away. "All day I stare into the sun, unblinking. It gives me sight for all things."
He turned back to us and looked at the two of us in turn. "The past and the future too."
"Xatu, I want to introduce you to my friend Kate, here." Ashlee began. "My friend, woke up one day as a Pokémon. Without any memories of being a human. Xatu please tell us. Why is my Kate like this? Why can't she remember anything? Why is she here?"
"The calamities of nature, there have been many in recent times. They occur because of the unbalance of the world." He was sort of calm, but just a hint of fear. "And you becoming a Pokémon. They are tied together. Inseparably so…."
"Wait a second!" Ashlee exclaimed. "You're trying to say that Kate becoming a Pokémon and the natural calamities … are related?"
Wait a second! I have nothing to do with those calamities, or do I? I can't remember….
"What does Kate have to do anything with the natural calamities that have been occurring?" She asked.
"….." Xatu stayed silent.
"What is it?" Ashlee became frantic. "What are you not telling us?!"
"There are….bigger concerns….." He looked away from both of our gazes. "I am afraid."
We both stayed silent, waiting for him to continue.
"The world's balance…It must be restored. OR the unthinkable shall be upon us….."
"What?!" Ashlee looked shocked. "The world…. The unthinkable is upon us?!"
"Every moment of the day I see it, and shudder. The same future…..There is no sign of changing it….. I dread seeing it. Because there is no hope to stop it…."
"Xx-Xatu?" Ashlee's voice hinted fear.
"I fear it… The world's end…"
"The world's end?"
Meanwhile…
-Gengar's POV-
I watched from behind a rock. Hidden away from sight…..
I couldn't believe this! Kate was actually a human? That will certainly be a story to tell… And this will surely be useful when the time comes. This is perfect revenge for there interference.
I walked away without them even noticing.
The Next morning…
-Kate-
I woke up, no dreams. It has certainly been a long time since I had a dream…..
I walked out of my home and there stood Ashlee.
"Good morning Kate!" She beamed. "Lets keep on doing a good job…." Ashlee seemed different today.
"Actually Kate?" She looked at me with concerned in her eyes. "Can I ask you something?"
I nodded.
"What do you think about what Xatu said yesterday? Did it bother you?"
What did think? I am not really sure. Yeah, it kind of scares me that I may have to do with the natural calmatives lately…. The yeah it did kind of bother me….. I mean who wouldn't? But if I told Ashlee, she might worry about me. And I don't want her too. It bad enough I have torely on her at times. I didn't want her worrying about my mess.
I shook my head.
"What! It doesn't make you concerned? Kate! Please, don't be joking! This is a serious matter. The world might end! And how you became a Pokémon, Kate…..They are suppose to be related!"
She became frantic and worried, but soon clamed down a bit. "Oh, I get it. I wasn't thinking straight. You should be more worried than me. You're in the middle of this. Of course you're worried. I'm sorry Kate. I should have realized that sooner."
Ashlee let out a sigh and continued. "Xatu said that the world will be ruined If nothing is done…. I want to do something! But there's something I don't understand. So uh, the world's balance. Do you know what it is Kate?"
Well no, I didn't.
I shook my head.
"Oh, I see." Ashlee replied sadly. "But oh well. I guess we'll just have to do what we can….One mission at a time. "
