[] now means pokemon speech.
Midnight awoke as dawn was breaking on the horizon. Despite sleeping on the ground, spending most of yesterday running, and being in a new, unknown body, she felt happy and well rested.
She had just had the strangest dream…
Running…others with me…winged ones above, four legged beside me…a voice, a voice in my head…which is stronger, they fight, want to prove, can't stop fighting…
Shaking the dream out of here head, she started thinking .What should I do know? She thought to herself. I guess I should go try to find some other legendary pokemon. Now that I am a pokemon, maybe I'll have better luck then a human would. They should be able to answer my questions, and will no doubt be able to change me back to a normal person.
With that in mind, she walked off.
Passing a bunch of pidgey, she heard one say, it's voice filled with awe, [That looks like the legendary wolf of the night! It was killed long ago, how can it be here?]
I can…understand pokemon now? But…I couldn't do that yesterday…Midnight felt confused.
Midnight walked over to the pidgey, who seemed to tremble. The others flew away, scared. [Do you know what my name is?] she asked, curious.
[N-no, I-I just heard of you-my father, h-he told me about y-you] it stammered.
[What did he tell you?]
[He-he said that you-you were the goddess of the night, and the legendary birds considered you as one of them as well. But-but he said that you were dead, that the slavers killed you.]
[The…slavers?]
[The-the humons, the slavers call themselves hu-mons.]
[What!] said Midnight, shocked. The pidgey sensed her sudden agitation and decided to get away before the midnight goddess killed it. It didn't know what it had said, but the wolf was upset by it. One did not anger goddesses lightly. And this one was dead…
[I wonder why it was so scared?] said Midnight to herself as the pidgey flew away like it was being chased by a huge noctowl. [And it called humans…slavers.]
Sighing, she traveled on. The pokemon who saw her fled like they had seen a ghost. To them, they had. The pokemon's ancestors had heard of her death. It was not a legend. She had died, and now she was back.
Midday was approaching. It got hot, and Midnight had been traveling fast. She lay down in the shade of a large tree. It felt so good, to just stretch out on the ground and let the heat roll off her body. Suddenly, her keen ears picked up the sound of someone coming. They were human. She knew this instinctively, by the sounds they made. They moved clumsily through the area. Her immediate thought was to flee, but her instincts were dulled by the heat and comfort of lying there, and her mind told her she had nothing to fear. She was a human, after all. She would just explain her situation to the person. Besides, the legendary pokemon were said to be almost impossible to catch. As long as they didn't have a masterball, she had nothing to fear from a person. And what trainer would have a masterball?
She lay there, and presently a boy came along.
"Wow, that must be what Prof. Hemlock was talking about!" he said happily. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his new masterball.
"Masterball, go!" he yelled, throwing to ball at her.
The ball hit her, and she was sucked in. Screaming and struggling, she tried to escape, although her mind told her it was futile. No pokemon could escape a masterball!
She heard a dull ting.
No! I won't be caught! I won't be trapped! her mind screamed as she redoubled her efforts to escape. Although a tiny part of her wondered where the thoughts were coming from-after all, when he released her she could just explain and have him let he go, it was completely ignored as she writhed within the ball, terrified at being trapped.
I have to get out!
The ball burst open.
"What in the world…?" said the boy as he caught the masterball.
Midnight knew she should run, but she was so tired…The effort of escaping from the masterball had left her with barely enough energy to stand. The unknown boy threw the masterball again, and she was trapped.
Cliffhanger endings are so annoying, aren't they? Sorry, but I'm not finished on what happens next.
Does everyone get what has happened so far?
