Hey, look! I am still alive.
Jokes aside, I had stopped writing this story for two reasons. One is that I have met a writer's block, second I my depression had reached its peak during the days I was off. I don't know if anyone is still interested in this story of mine, but I am finally back at writing it for those who really care, like the friend who supported me during my recovery.
I hope I still have my writing style.
After finally recovering from the teleport, Lu looked at the building close to him, the hospital. His head was still hurt for being a psychic type that's in the middle of a crowd for the first time. It almost made him vomit again, but he managed to contain it inside and look around.
His heart started to beat painfully as he grabbed his chest. He could feel him, the one he only met only in dreams so far. He was close. After little time his heartbeats returned to normal and Lu released the breath he did not know he was holding.
"Matheus… His name is Matheus. Wasn't it?" Lu asked himself before entering the place.
It was his first time outside his family's grounds and things were quite… different. The first thing different was the large number of people waiting at the reception. He could feel sadness and worry from these Pokemon. Ill children and seniors, the place was nothing more than dread.
He shakes his head and decides to just go ahead and look for the one from his dreams, while keeping in mind to ask more about the people to his brothers.
He used his powers to see if he could sense the location of Matheus. Doing so, he noticed two anomalies. One weak and other agitated. The agitated soon leaves the weaker one, now leaving it alone. 'The weaker one…' Lu thought. Then he started to climb the stairs until he reached the third floor and saw him… the person he had met in his dreams.
"H-Hello..." Lu said shyly to the first new person he have met in years. "My names is Lu... I know it may sounds weird, but I think I have seen you in my dreams."
Matheus looked confused at the blond male for a moment before asking. "Dreams? What do you mean by that?"
"Well…" Lu started to think about what he was supposed to say. "I don't know how to explain." But given the circumstances, he just decided to give up one thinking of a proper explanation. "The thing is… I saw you in my dreams. Many times. I usually get inside other people's dream when I go asleep, but most of the time I do so, I see myself of someone's dream where you are in it. Oh, an explanation managed to come out without even trying."
The human was now looking at Lu with even more confusion. "First Pokemon, now this…" He murmured to himself and then says. "You dream other people's dreams, right?" He asks receiving a mood from Lu. "Okay, so… does that means you're a Psychic type?"
"Oh yeah. I'm a Psychic… but I don't really know what I am. All that I know about myself is my type." The blond male told to the human.
"Little by little I am starting to understand this place, but certain things are still weird to me. Like, that explosion and how I am openly talking to a complete stranger who just said he met me in his dreams."
"Hey- Actually, you do have a point."
"But I guess this is for the best." Matheus said and stood up. "At least in this place I can at least try new things with a new leaf, instead of committing errors."
"Committing errors?" Lu asked noticing the sudden change of mood from the teenager. Something snapped inside the Psychic type's mind. It was the anomaly of Matheus getting more intense.
"I mean. My last actions before waking in this hospital were… were… what were they?" Matheus starts question himself as Lu felt the anomaly getting weaker again.
Sighing with relief, Lu stood up and put a hand on the human's shoulder. "I guess you really are confused. Just take things easy, okay?"
Matheus looked at the blond male and smiled a little. "It actually feels comforting being next to you Lu."
Lu looked at the human after hearing that and say. "To be honest, it really does feel good and calm."
"Thanks, Lu***." Matheus says immediately shocking Lu with surprise. "Did I say something wrong Lu?"
"No, I…" Lu then shakes his head. "Just be safe, okay? We will see each other again." The strange teenager then waved and almost walked away had he not almost bumped on someone much larger than him right after he turned around.
The tall Lucario crossed his arms while glaring at the guy who were talking with the human for a considerable amount of time. Never before have Lu seen someone so terrifying in any of his days. "So… Matheus, have your parents never told you not to talk with strangers?" Luke asks.
"I have talked with you just now. Why would talk with him be worst?" Matheus joked making Luke look at him with surprise. "I had to say something after you decided to just ignore my existence while we were talking."
"Trust me Matheus, there is no way I will ever ignore that you exist." Luke told closing his gray first. "In any case, I have my reasons to believe that any stranger trying to talk with you so openly much likely is no good." He then walked over to the human and stood between Matheus and Lu.
"You do have a point. Yeah…" Matheus agreed, then looked at Lu. "But still, thank you for talking with me. I think I am more used with this life now."
"Oh. Well… Hope we can talk with each other again." Lu waved once again and left the other two.
"That guy was weird." Luke said with crossed arms. "Wonder what that guy is. Probably a shiny, but shiny of what? Anyway, Let's look for my father and leave this place." He then grabbed Matheus' hand to aid the human to walk.
Late that night, Lu managed to walk back to the mansion. The only ones who had noticed his disappearance were the Galvantula and the Dartrix, they had decided to stay quiet about Lu's escape because they knew Lu would get a severe punishment if they did so. After knowing about Lu's new move, Nathaniel suggested Lu to either don't use it too much, or erase it. Their father wouldn't like to know Lu has the power to leave the place any time he wanted.
Lu also told them about the two boys he met, but left the parts about the anomalies aside. Matheus seemed kind and Lu didn't wish for him to meet an unhappy destiny.
After all, it was the wish of the one who dreamed about the boy.
Evolution/Metamorphosis - part 5
"So you asks for salvation from your cursed future?" Heatran asked to the small group of Riolu survivors, who confirmed his question and pleaded for him to help. "Very well, I shall help you all using the metal you brought." He says taking the ore of the Riolu at the middle of the circle with a single hand. "Never before have I been asked for something like this. I just used to be Arceus' blacksmith." He started to use his strength and heat to crush and melt the ore and so grabbed the chest of that same Riolu.
The melted metal was not dripping from his hands, instead it was being directly transferred into the aura user. He quickly finished the transfer and took few steps back. "How do you feel?"
"I don't know." The Riolu told grabbing his chest. "But I want to trust you, Sir Heatran."
"Keep your hopes up. This metal shall become a part of your skeleton at the moment you evolve. But how it will affect it, only after evolving we will know. Until then, I recommend the remaining of you to wait. Have this one survived after evolving, come here. Have he not, then just pray to have a good reincarnation in your next life."
Sometimes I think this bonus story focus too much on the Riolu kind. I will probably collect all the parts later and post it as a single chapter so you can read it completely without looking around for the other parts.
Also, I would like to thanks the few of you who have waited patiently for this chapter. I will try my best now.
(Editor's Comment: Story was great and is really getting intense and mysterious. Loving it.)
