Man, I'm sorry for the really short first chapter. I've been busy …
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
Ch.2-"Where am I? WHAT am I?"
My eyes snapped open and my head jerked up, my body still stiff and paralyzed. I looked around and discovered that I was lying on the soft, fertile ground of the Abundant Shrine. The grass and tress rustled and moaned a breezy greeting. I groaned and shifted my furry body. Wait….furry? My eyes immediately shot to my body, and there it was. There was a dark brown little stomach, fluffy blue tail, and black mane.
"Are you okay?" said a male voice. My eyes searched around the grassy field, but I only spotted a Ninetales staring at me. 'No way had that Ninetales just spoken….' I thought.
"You're very odd…." Its mouth moved…forming slow words….
"YOU CAN TALK!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and forced every muscle in my body to move and I jump far away from the….abnormal …Pokemon.
"Of course I can." He sat on its hind legs and watched me freak out.
"But….you're a Pokemon…and Pokemon DON'T TALK!" The Ninetales stared at me like I had two heads.
"You're a Pokemon, as well. We don't find Zorua's like you around here."I started to trot around me, examining my features. 'I-I'm a Zorua?' I thought. I indeed was a Zorua, but what's up with the odd coloration?
"Wait a minute…..my own Pokemon? Where are they?" I started walking around, trying to catch a glimpse of my Poke balls. They were nowhere to be seen.
"Your own Pokemon?" Ninetales asked.
"I'm a human!" I turned back to the Pokemon.
"A human?" Ninetales tilted his head.
"Yes. I was out in a storm, and I saw this Pokemon. It had purple fire on its back and these menacing red eyes. Oh, and sharp teeth and claws. It roared real loud!" I barred my teeth and made the loudest little roar I could make.
A dark shadow suddenly loomed in Ninetales eyes and he was silent.
"That Pokemon you met," he said in an alarmingly low and solemn voice," is a very dangerous Pokemon from ancient legends. You're very lucky to have escaped alive." A cold shudder tickled my spine. Suddenly, a Vulpix leapt out of the grass and came running over to us, panicking.
"Mister Ninetales, there's trouble near the shrine! Please hurry!" The Vulpix said frantically as she glanced at the direction toward the shrine.
"Trouble?" Ninetales followed the Vulpix and I went after them, not wanting to be alone. As we neared the shrine, I could hear screams and loud booms.
We arrived and everything was in ruins. Trees were burnt and charred, as well as the grass. Massive cracks and dents littered the ground. The smell of smoke attacked our noses. Clusters of Pokemon laid there, wounded.
"AHAHAHA! Is that all you can do?" bellowed a loud voice. We all looked up and there hovering in the air was a Hydreigon. He shot a strong ray of energy from his mouth and craned his neck. The beam blew away and torn anything in its line of fire. It struck a boulder and the debris was scattered all over.
"Hey…wait a minute…" I squinted at the Hydreigon. There, I saw a prominent scar across his left eye, a familiar sight. Suddenly, I remembered.
"Hades!" I gasped in astonishment. Hearing his name, Hades turned to me with venomous red eyes.
"How to you know my name?" he asked, his loud voice boomed. I saw Ninetales look at me at of the corner of my eye.
"It's me, Rebecca!" I called up to him. His eyes flooded with confusion.
"Rebecca is a human! Not a Pokemon!" he roared.
"It IS me, Hades! I remember when you were just a small Deino. You would always throw a tantrum if I didn't let you run around and chew other people's belongings. You were really stubborn back then." Hades looked taken aback and pondered for a moment. After a few seconds, he flew down in front of us.
"If it really is you, how did you become a Pokemon?" Hades asked in a now low, respectful voice as he looked down at me.
"I was coming here and on the way I ran into this really dangerous Pokemon and somehow it transformed me into a Zorua. By the way, have you seen the others?" I explained to him
"Apparently, I haven't. Hopefully they are nearby. "Hades lowered his neck down to my height, gesturing me to climb onto his back to search the area. I did so and watched Ninetales and Vulpix stare at us.
"We're very sorry for all the damage. I wish we could stay and help….fix the place up. Thank you for your kindness, Ninetales." I smiled and Hades flapped his six wings.
"Stay safe. " Ninetales smiled back and Hades flapped his wings with one more final thrust and we soared into the morning sky.
Well happy birthday to you, reader! You've just finished reading Ch.2! The next chapter will take some time to write and I might not get the time to even start with it, so please, bear with me and hold onto your patience.
