Chapter 11

Playful Swablu

General P.O.V.

At the cliffs, Luna was laying down on the grass as the wind blew threw her fur. She listened to all the sounds around her with a smile on her face. She then got up and watched the ocean waves in the distant and the Pokemon flying in the was views like this that made her love this world and shows just how precious the world truly is. She would fight to her last breath to protect the beauty of this world.

She walked away into the forest with a content smile on her face. She already had made plans to go on a walk with Saki. Once she got over her mother's death, she turned into a very happy and adventurous Pokemon. Luna felt like she found a kindred spirit with their love for exploring. They would usually spend their day exploring different places around the island.

Luna looked ahead to see Saki waiting for her by the clearing. She smiled when Luna came to her and both began walking through the forest.

"You look happy this afternoon" Saki commented with a smile.

It was true. Luna did seem to have a happy glow about her.

"I talked to one of my friends in charge of a part of my training" Luna explained.

"It seems that she's taught me all she can and has said when I feel ready to train under her teacher to master the training I can."

Saki smiled softly.

"That's great news, Luna" Saki spoke happily.

"I'm so happy for you."

Saki knew that someone was training Luna with something, but when she asked she said that it was something she wasn't ready to talk about. All she mentioned was that this Pokemon was helping her to control her special powers and that she could only teach her how to maintain control. Her master was the one who could teach her to fully master it.

Saki understood that there were some things that Luna was ready to talk about, so she never pressed the issue. However, she told Luna that she could come to her when she was ready for her to know what she was keeping to herself.

"I know, I'm happy about it too" Luna answered.

"I'm just nervous about meeting the one who taught her. Talk about having a lot of pressure, but I'm sure that I'll be able to manage if I have enough courage to meet them myself."

Saki nodded.

Then they heard a soft song playing through the forest. It wasn't enough to put us to sleep. It sounded more like whoever was singing just wanted to play. They eventually came to a clearing to see a young female Swablu flying around the trees with a playful look in her eyes.

She took notice of them and began flying around in circles around them in happiness.

"Hello!" The Swablu called happily.

"It's nice to meet new Pokemon. Yep. Very nice, very nice."

She finally landed in front of them with a bright smile.

"My name is Mana" The Swablu spoke happily.

"Being playful is my nature."

They both smiled at her energy.

"My name is Luna"Luna answered and then motioned to Saki.

"And this my friend Saki. It's very nice to meet you Mana."

Mana took a look at both at them before she smiled.

"You both will have important roles in the future" Mana spoke seriously.

"One will leave this world with another to protect the light. The other will stay for when she returns with the other and another to help her in her quest. To restore light to the world."

Luna looked at her curiously.

"What do you mean by that?" Luna asked.

Mana sighed.

"I have a gift of prophecy" Mana explained.

"Sometimes when I look into someone's eyes, I can see a prophecy about their future. It doesn't happen very often, but it can be helpful if they are curious about what the future holds for them. You have an especially hard journey ahead of you, Luna. Of course, I guess having a small human heritage may be part of the reason. However, you shouldn't think of it as a weakness. Think of it as a strength that only you and your father possess."

Luna and Saki looked at her shocked.

"How did you know about my heritage?" Luna asked.

Mana smiled.

"My gift of prophecy told me about your heritage" Mana explained.

"That what others may view as your weakest link will actually turn into your greatest strength."

Mana then spread her wings.

"If you need someone to talk to, you can always find me here" Mana spoke softly.

"All you need to do is call me."

Then Mana took off back into the trees. Luna and Saki continued on their way home.

Luna didn't know it then, but Mana's words that day were important for the future. A clue to what would soon unfold. How that will happen though, only time will tell.
