Edison stumbled out of the infirmary. Leaning heavily on the corridor wall. Taking in a deep breath he shuddered at the thought of Being on the receiving end of the Audino's wrath.
Dismissing the thought as quickly as it came, he began to make his way out the guild, He didn't want the Audino turning to him next after all. Besides it was getting late, he should be getting back to the house, his father didn't like if he missed curfew.
Exiting the guild Edison began down the familiar old worn road back to his father's house.
Back in the infirmary room a dazed Riolu began to stir. Slowly The Riolu sat up, stretcher moaning as she did. Looking around at the vacant room she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
"Where am I" she thought
Looking around she spotted various medical supplies littering the benches and desks that adorned the dull room. Many of which had already been used, undoubtedly on her. Blood stained her fur from long lost wounds. While fresh scars formed on her tender flesh.
Deciding to make a move she swung her legs to the edge of the stretcher and planted them firmly onto the cold tile floor.
Standing up she was hit by a strong wave of nausea.
Fighting back the bile that threatened the back of her throat. She quietly made her way to the entrance. Pressing an ear up to the wooden door she listened for any movement. Hearing nothing, she slowly opened the door and took a cautious step out of the cold sterile room and into a long hallway. Looking to her right was the end of the hallway, marked by the large ornate door. To her left was what looked like the main guild area. Lining the hall were many doors presumably branching off into other departments, or perhaps private dorms. Taking a deep shaky breath She quietly paced to the Exit of the hall conveniently marked by a glowing green "EXIT" sign above the door.
"There's too many doors in this place" The Riolu retorted.
Placing a paw on the door knob turning it slowly.
Only for it to be forcefully swung open hitting the Riolu in the face.
Clutching her muzzle, she stumbled back tripping on her tail and falling to the ground.
"Ouch" she mumbled.
"Hey! Watch where your standing!"
"Huh-?"
Standing in the doorway were four long legs, heels covered in green fur. Two red petals resembling a Scaff hung to its neck while two white antler like appendages were tapered to its head.
"What are you looking at Runt?"
Breaking out of her trauma induced daze she lifted herself off the floor, ignoring the Shaymin and trying to manoeuvre around the Pokémon blocking the doorway.
Stepping Infront of the fleeing Riolu Shaymin blocked her advance.
"HEY, I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!"
Seeming to notice the commotion a few guild members started turning heads at the noise.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?"
"No" Riolu responded
"What?"
"No, I don't know who you are." Riolu deadpanned.
"HOW CAN A RUNT LIKE YOU NOT KNOW OF ME! FUSHA THE GREAT! HAHA!"
Using the belated opportunity Riolu snuck between the door and the oblivious Pokémon, getting a few meters away before he noticed she was gone.
"AHHH! DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM GREATNESS YOU DUMBASS!"
Riolu continued to walk.
"This is making too much of a scene for my liking. I need to leave this place… Wherever this "Place" is." Riolu thought
"YOU KNOW WHAT! ILL BEST YOU IN COMBAT THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE GREATNESS OF FUSHA! HAHA"
"HERE I COME RUNT! YOU BETTER HOPE I TAKE PITTY ON YO-ACK"
A dull thud was heard as the Shaymin collapsed to the floor unconscious.
Standing behind the unconscious lump on the floor was a hefty Machamp. Many Scars clothed his bare chest. An eye patch hung loosely around his neck while a red bandanna loosely wrapped around one of his four arms.
"Heh sorry about Fusha here, he can be a real pain." The Machamp chuckled.
"He thinks he's some bigshot because he's a "mythical species" Machamp said, air quotes and all.
"Besides that, the names Kariku, been with this troublemaker ever since we were youngsters. Although he still acts like a child sometimes."
"We just have each other now" Kariku finished
"But enough about us. What's your name?"
Riolu paused for a moment.
"What IS my name?" She repeated
"I… Don't remember." The Riolu retorted
Riolu looked up to the Machamp. A Neutral static expression on his face.
"Intriguing." He replyied
"Oh, I know! Ill introduce you to a friend of mine, he'll be sure to help you and your situation"
"Uhh I really must be goin-"
"Nonsense! Come with me young one"
Not seeing any escape from Kakiru's Offer the Riolu begrudgingly agrees
Following closely behind the aged Machamp.
"You look like shit by the way."
"I know."
Arriving at the end of the hall Machamp and Riolu stood Infront of a large mahogany door. Calling it a door was an understatement. Various scenes of battles won, and lives lost were carved into the door. Near the handles however was some symbol. A six-pronged gear carved into the rich mahogany. Now where had she seen that before?
Her thoughts were cut short when Kakiru decided to speak up knocking on the door as he did so.
"Oii Lyn? You in their Dude?"
Silence
Sighing Kakiru Pushed open the door revealing a sleeping Lucario.
Papers still stacked high above his head while Paperwork littered the ground around him. A grey filing cabinet had been pulled to his Large Mahogany desk draws still open anticipating work to be filed while the labyrinth of papers guarded him in his slumber.
"So, is your friend here? I can't see anything over all this paper." Riolu exclaimed
Taking in a deep breath Kakiru sighed.
"Yeah, he's here alright."
With the practiced grace of a toddler Kakiru walks through the Maze of paper, knocking a few stacks on the ground as he does so.
"Is he always shrouded by paperwork?"
"No, not until recently"
Reaching the sleeping Lucario the Machamp decided to grab him by the shoulders, picking him off the desk and dropping him to the ground.
Springing to Life the Lucario jumped to his feet.
"Hu-wha?! Oh, it's you" He exclaimed locking eyes with the Riolu
"You look like shit"
Sorry For the absence. Between School and the holidays *Cough* and Pokémon legends. I have been very busy. Anyway I'm going to try set a upload schedule :) I'm going to try for a chapter every two weeks but if that doesn't happen you should get a chapter a month at the minimum. I'm hoping by doing this I can slowly work up to longer chapters, as i feel they are too short as of now. On a story perspective i have Roughly planed the coming events so writing should take less time. As Always Have a Great Morning Day or Evening :) and stay safe from the Rona. Until next time! ;)
(Fusha was derived from Fushigi or Pokémon fushigi no danjon Witch is the Japanese name for Pokémon Mystery same can be said for Kakiru as the Japanese name for machamp is Kairiky カイリキー)
