After few moments of panicking Akari stopped and took a deep breath. "Ok just think about this for a moment Akari." She muttered as she tried to collect her thoughts. "A powerful being that brought you to your parents and apparently knows more about your past asks for you go to another country to help people get along with Pokemon, and you agreed with him...or at least it sounded like at he..." she said rambling a bit before shaking her head to refocus. "And you did all this without discussing it with mom or dad."
Her eyes traveled down to the basket of Oran berries. "I guess it's good I got so many but why did he tell me to practice my throwing arm?" She thought out loud as she picked up one of the berries and began to toss it into the air. She did this a few times before checking it for any damage. "I never realized how sturdy these are..." she mumbled as she inspected the fruit before putting it back.
Slowly she made her way back home with her baskets of berries, each step felt a little harder as the stress and guilt started to grow inside of her. Sweat formed on her brown despite the cool temperature. She feels her stomach churn as her home draws ever closer.
"It's okay...all you have to do is tell them you accepted a mission from some sort of glowing thing that will take you far from home in exchange for information about your past. No big deal. " She muttered as she neared the door to her house.
She adjusted the baskets on her arms and reached out to slide the door open. "Mom, Dad, I'm home." She called nervously as she walked inside, closing the door behind her.
Just as she took her saddles off her mother peeked her head around the corner. "Welcome home dear, did you run into any trouble getting the berries?" She asked in a concerned tone.
Akari shook her head as she held up the baskets of berries. "No trouble at all mom plus you know I can take care of myself." She replied with a smile.
Her mom smiled softly and shook her head. "I still worry nonetheless, it's part of being a mother." She said as she took the baskets from her daughter. "Come dinner's almost ready and I am sure you are hungry.
Akari nodded as she followed her mom to the dinning room where her father was already seated. As they entered the room he raised his head and smiled.
"Akari welcome home, you had us worried young lady." He said in a stern yet caring tone of voice. "If you took any longer I might have had to try to form a search party for you."
Akari smiled at her dad and hugged him. "I'm fine dad, nothing you have to worry about." She said despite the pit in her stomach growing. "I know the forest around here and there is nothing to worry about."
Her father stared at her for a moment but returned her hug just the same. "Ok, but I do want to know what delayed you coming home." He replied. As he let go of her.
Akari nodded and took her seat at the table. After taking a deep breath she started her story. "Well I started getting the fruit like you asked and collected them all when I decent to take a short break before heading home." She said as she told her story.
"When I saw how late it was getting I started on my way back when this golden Pokemon I had never seen before appeared." Her parents gasped and looked at her worried.
"I know, I was shocked too, I was even more shocked when it spoke to me, it told me that it was the one who brought me to you and knew who my real parents were. That it is basically a god and it had a quest for me. In three days time it would come back and take me to another land to help humans and Pokemon get along with one another and in return it would tell me about my past and my real parents."
Her parents stare at her in shock and disbelief as she finishes her story but after a few moments of silence they compose themselves. "I take it you told this creature no?" Her father asked curiously.
Akari blinked, shuffled nervously and glanced away from her parents causing them to gasp in shock. "You told it yes!?" Her mom shouted as she stood up in surprise. "What were you thinking? Do you have any idea how dangerous this creature could be, let alone its mission for you?" She asked as she continued to panic.
"I wanted to know the truth, it told me it found me alone before bringing me to you two, so... I have to know why they left me..." Akari shouted back before her voice trailed out.
Her Mom and Dad glanced at each other before turning back to their daughter. "I understand why now, you want closure Akari." Her Father said calmly. "But that does not mean I agree with you going on such a dangerous quest, we don't even know if it is telling you the truth."
Akari nodded sadly and remained quiet in contemplation, her eyes darted back and forth on the ground as she thought over her options. Was the creature she met telling the truth? Did it know her past or was it lying to her?
Slowly her eyes hardened and she lifted her head up to look up at her parents. "You're right that I don't know how dangerous the mission is or if it is telling the truth, but I have to know... even if it is just a small chance to know why I want to know, no.. I NEED to know why they left me."
Her parents look at her, surprised at this new found determination. "Even if the answer you find gives you nothing but pain? Her mother asked in a worried tone.
Akari nodded and glanced down at the ground. "Even if the answer hurts then at least I finally know." she replied. "Then I will return home to my parents, my real parents no matter what I have found out." She added with a smile as she looked up at the two.
Her parents stare at her with a look of shock which slowly evolved into one of love as her mother hugged her, her father joined shortly after. After a minute her father finally replied. "Akari, you do know we can't just say yes, we need some time to think about this." He said with a stern look on his face.
Akari opened her mouth to protest but then closed it and nodded in understanding. "I guess that makes sense." She muttered in reply. As she leaned into her mother.
"You'll understand one day if you have children of your own." Her mother commented in a teasing tone as she hugged her daughter. "For now why don't you rest before dinner and we can talk about it more tomorrow."
Akari nodded and made her way toward her room. Once inside she took off her back and hat, setting them down next to her bed before laying down. "Maybe I should have waited to tell them.. or not at all." She muttered but quickly shook her head. "No, that would just make them worry even more, at least this way there is a chance I can leave with their permission."
With a sigh she started to go through her day pack and take out her belongings. As she did she found some of the extra Oran berries she had grabbed. She stared at them for a moment before picking one of them up. "Well it can't hurt to follow its advice while I wait." She said as she toss the berry up in the air and caught it as it fell.
She spent a few minutes tossing the berry up in the air when her mothers voice finally called "Akari, it's time for Dinner."
She made her way back to the dinning table to find both of her parents already seated and with a look of concern on their faces but they did not speak up about what she ran into the woods. The rest of the evening was quiet for the family of three if not stressful before they all called it a good night.
The next morning at breakfast Akari noticed her parents seemed quite tired but silently took her seat at the table. Before long her mother spoke up.
"Honey, your father and I discussed it and we decided that... we will let you go on this journey." She said, sounding somewhat defeated.
"It was not an easy decision to make, after all the world is a vast, dangerous place." Her father said, speaking up. "But even if we did forbid it I have a feeling you would still leave us, it's just too important to you."
Akari glanced down and nodded shyly at the table. "Thank you for understanding, Mom, Dad. And I promise to come back as soon as I can." She replied in a quiet tone of voice as before glancing up at her parents.
"We don't care how soon you come dear as long as you come back safe and sound." Her mom said with a smile, her dad nodding in agreement and the three of them started to eat breakfast.
The next two days Akari prepared for her trip getting a travel pack ready as well as practicing her throwing arm as she was told. Her mom helped her get clothes for different weather and showed her how to pack effectively while her dad went over everything he knew about the woods to try and help her.
Finally the third and final day had arrived and she just finished packing. She had two small travel packs that she filled with the basics, food, water, clothes, and form of shelter.
She was all set to go and was just in the forest behind their house continuing to practice her throwing arm as a voice called out to her.
"Honey, are you all set to go?" Her mother asked as she approached a concerned expression on her face as she neared. Her father was with her as well and his expression mirrored her mother's.
Akari nodded at her parents. "Yes mom, I am all packed and ready to go. She replied, patting the two packs on her hips. "Thank you for showing me how to pack stuff."
Her mother smiled and gently embraced her. "I will miss you, everyday you are gone your father and I will pray for your safety." She said in an unsteady tone as tears started to fall.
Akari smiled softly and returned the hug. "Thank you Mom, dad. I will miss you." She replied as she also started to cry. "But I promise to come back, safe and sound."
Her father joined the hug with a smile on his face. "We will hold you to that promise Akari." He replied in a sad but loving tone of voice.
Suddenly a bright light appeared and a familiar creature was hovering not too far from the three of them. "Ah i seeth thou art almost eft Akari, i shall giveth a few m're moments to sayeth goodbye bef're t is timeth to wend."
Akari nodded and glanced back at her parents. "Well...looks like it's time." She said with a sad smile on her face. "Take care and I will be back."
Her parents returned her smile and hugged her tightly before letting her go. Slowly she walked over to the glowing creature and nodded to it. "I am ready."
The creature stared at her for a few moments before it nodded back. "V'ry well alloweth's beginneth thy journey. And if 't be true thou art ev'r in needeth turneth to thy pendent 'twill guideth thee"
There was a flash of light and she felt herself falling and hitting the ground before it all turned black.
Her eyes opened and she saw a man dressed quite oddly, near him were three Pokemon she had never seen before and she knew her journey had truly begun.
Finally I finished the chapter sorry for the long wait but I finally got it done. Last chance to submit ideas you want to add to Akari's team via the template below. Once again I am not sure if I will do the actual story of the game or skip it and do a summery and go to the rest of the fic I might leave it up to you guys and gals due to how mixed I am on it feel free to comment in reviews if you have a opinion.
Next will either be the Fairy tail fanfic or the Neptunia one not sure which probably the fairy tail one since that is the one I am in the mood for right now
