Disclaimer: I own nothing but San and the plot.
A/N: I'm planning to have San build up a proper pokemon team besides just Roserade and Ditto. If anyone has any requests for a partner please let me know in a review or pm.
San's POV:
I walked around the forest with my two partners, exploring the place. This forest was deeper and had a much more maze like quality than the previous one, but I'd come from the reverse world so I didn't think navigating this place would be a problem. I stopped as I recognising the sound of river water. I ran towards the river and gave my hair a much needed wash. I went downstream when I was finished and looked at myself. Without the dirt my hair was much better. It was auburn mixed with slight brown from my childhood. My eyes remained the same; ice blue though colder than they had been. I jumped into a tree and jumped from branch to branch, going between the floating rocks in the reverse world had improved my jumping ability. I stopped in my tracks as I heard voices, human voices. I narrowed my eyes and ran with Roserade and Ditto towards the sound. I jumped to the ground and kept myself hidden between two close trees. I saw about three or four girls and two boys. They had stopped to get their bearings. I knew immediatly that they were lost. I scoffed and turned to walk away, " hey! Is that a person?" I turned when I heard one of the girls speak. They must have saw me when I left the shadows. I watched them without speaking. One of the girls stepped forward, " you wouldn't happen to know the way out would you? or at least know if there's any rare pokemon in here?" she asked nervously. I narrowed my eyes, " why should I tell you?" I asked. The girl seemed surprised. It strangely reminded me of something, but I couldn't think what. The girl then narrowed her eyes also and was about to snap but one of the boys stopped her and said, " you don't have to, but we'd be really grateful." I sighed and rolled my eyes then nodded. The girl and boy that spoke looked at me as if trying to remember something, " what's your name?" the girl asked. I'd turned and started to lead them but I looked back at her when she spoke, " why would you want to know that?" I hissed, she rolled her eyes, " don't be so suspisious, I just want to know your name." I thought it over then decided she could do me know harm, " it's San." I said. She clicked her fingers in recognition as the boy and the other girls widened their eyes. " I knew it! Don't you remember us San?" She asked, " should I?" I replied, " you went to the pokemon academy a few years back. You knew us there." the boy said. I narrowed my eyes in thought, trying to remember. The girl sighed in irritation as I shruggled to recall it, " I'm Jodie, these are my friends." She said as she gestured to the other girls. I bared my teeth as it all came back to me, " you had your so called friends gang up on me in that field!" I snarled. Jodie looked nervous as if it hadn't occured to her I would react badly. Roserade and Ditto mimicked my emotions. " uh Jodie, maybe you shouldn't have reminded her." the boy said fearfully as I made a low growl in my throat, copied from what I heard Giratina do over the years. " and who are you?" I hissed to him. " I'm Felix. Do you remember?" He asked me. I did remember, but I didn't befriend humans anymore. I turned my icy gaze to Jodie, " give me one good reason not to return the favor for what you did to me." She took a step back in fear, " hold on a minute. Why don't you have a pokemon battle instead? If San wins we'll leave her alone, if Jodie wins San can show us the exit." One of the girls spoke up. Jodie smirked, I mirrored her expression. " Roserade!" I called forward my first partner. " ah. The pokemon you stole from the academy." Jodie sneered. " stop stalling." I replied. She scowled and grabbed a pokeball. Me and Roserade both watched, unimpressed as she threw the pokeball up, realising it's captive. " A Quilava? no problem." I snorted. Jodie sneered at me again. A bad move for someone needing my help, " don't be so cocky, we have a type advantage." She laughed. I scoffed, " Roserade, show them how wrong they are." Roserade smirked, ready to go. " you can make the first move." Jodie said. Her first mistake. A shiny stone wasn't the only thing Giratina brought for Roserade. Most of her attacks were learned by Tm. " Roserade! Magical leaf!" I called, " Dodge!" Jodie ordered her pokemon. Quilava jumped, but it was hit by the attack, " Jodie! Magical leaf doesn't miss!" Felix called to her. She ground her teeth at the embarressment, then called, " Quilava, finish this quickly with Flamethrower!" Both me and Roserade smirked. " Dance!" I watched the confusion on all their face's until Roserade twirled effortlessly around the flamethrower. She even gave a small pose when she stopped. Jodie muttered an insult under her breath, then ordered a quick attack. Roserade let herself get hit, she flipped back and used magical leaf again. Quilava cried out as it was hit, " use dig!" Jodie called, I waited until Quilava dug a hole then said, " send your magical leaf into the hole!" I watched as Roserade obeyed me. I waited until Quilava came back out. Roserade jumped then twirled as she dodged Quilava's dig attack. " this is getting boring. Use shadow ball." I said dismissively. Quilava tried to dodge, but didn't have the energy. Roserade used repeated Shadow balls until Quilava could barely move then I smirked, " finish this off with hyper beam." Jodie gasped as she watched her starter pokemon faint with the srength of Roserade's hyper beam. Roserade jumped back to my side, " your side of the bargin." I told them. They looked disappointed, as if I would've changed my mind. I tilted my head as I heard the howls of Raikou, calling me. Without a backwards glance I ran off with my partners. They whispered among themselves, remembering the fact that the three legendary beasts were my parents. They ran after me, but I knew if I tried I could easily lose them. I slowed down and stopped in a clearing, " you called?" I asked them, " San. We got some food for you." Entei said. I knelt down beside Suicune and started eating hungrily. I looked up when I heard a twig snap. I wiped my mouth and stood up, narrowing my eyes. The beasts growled as soon as they smelled humans. As soon as the humans came into view my parents bared their teeth angrily as they recognised Jodie. They hadn't forgotten what she'd done to me.
" please San. Can't you just show us how to get out of here? Then you'll never have to see us again." Felix asked. Somehow I didn't like hearing that from him. I was happy enough not seeing Jodie and her friends again, but somehow Felix was different from them. I pushed those feelings down, just like Giratina taught me. I gave a brisk nod, " Roserade, Ditto. You guys stay here. I'll be back soon." I told them then walked past the humans. Felix walked beside me, but the others stayed back. Good. " so... um, what happened when you left school? I mean what did you do?" Felix asked. " wandered aimlessly for three days then went to the hall of origens and got sent to the reverse world to live with Giratina." I replied boredly, " what's the reverse world? who's Giratina?" Felix asked. I thought about the answer, " the reverse world is a small alternate world to this one, but it's not like here." I descriped to him what the reverse world was actually like then told him about Giratina. " wow. And no-one could find you for six years? you were all alone?" His tone was concerned. I snorted and rolled my eyes. " you act as if your worried about me. Don't." He went silent after that. A few minutes passed and I stopped, " just through there is the way out." I said. Felix looked at me, " your pokemon are strong San. Have you ever thought about going on a pokemon journey?" he asked. My eyes widened as I remembered what Arceus said about me leaving, I felt a need to travel the world. But I refused to leave my parents. I told Felix the truth, " I've thought about it, but I can't leave my parents." He looked disappointed, but left with the others. I jumped onto a branch and watched them go, having a strange, fluttery, regretful feeling.
