The Journey Through Coronet, To the Town of History We Go!

It was around three in the afternoon when Kurai and Ash came to the entrance of Mt. Coronet. "Well here we are…" Kurai said. "Yep…let's go!" Ash said as he started walking into the cave. Pikachu did his usual pika pika. "Enthusiastic one aren't you, Ash…" Kurai sighed and followed Ash. As they proceeded into the cave, the sound of water droplets hitting the stony ground echoed throughout the cave. Other than that, it was eerily quiet. Pokémon feet scampered around them. Their own footsteps echoed as well. Kurai looked around, observing every single nook and cranny he could lay his eyes on. Ash looked at him curiously. "Hey what are you-" Ash yelled as he tripped over something. He face planted into the ground as Pikachu jumped off and nudged him. Kurai looked over and laughed quietly. Ash sat up quickly quite enraged, "What the heck?" Ash grunted and looked around for what he had tripped on, while Kurai looked as well. It was a little sleeping Snorunt. It had just awoken from its sleep and it slowly realized that it was surrounded by Ash, Kurai and Pikachu. It was frightened and backed up against a wall. Ash walked over to it and in fear it hit him with an Ice Beam. Ash froze and fell to the ground while Pikachu got into a fighting position and electricity charged in his cheeks. Kurai put his hand out signaling for Pikachu to not do anything. Kurai walked over to the terrified Snorunt and kept some distance. He knelt down began to observe it. In the meantime Pikachu tried to unfreeze Ash. "It's hurt." Kurai pointed to multiple cuts and bruises. Pikachu shocked the ice that had frozen Ash and it shattered. Ash shot up and gasped for air. Kurai laughed again and looked back at the quivering Snorunt. "Hmm…I got it." Ash looked at Kurai, who proceeded to pull out a full restore and slowly crawled to Snorunt. In his kindest, subtlest voice he said, "Come here, I'll help you." The Snorunt looked at him, terrified. "I'll get rid of those bruises for you." The Snorunt tried to back up more as Kurai inched closer. Ash watched silently, Pikachu observed and analyzed them. "I'm a friend, I promise." Kurai smiled in a prince like manner. The Snorunt looked at him for about a minute and then eased up. "There we go." Kurai said softly. He lightly held the Pokémon in his left hand, and sprayed the cuts with his right. Snorunt cringed for a moment. Ash looked lost and just stared blankly. Kurai smiled reassuringly at the Snorunt. After finishing, he set the Snorunt down and it just stared at him. He could tell what was going through its head. He then pulled out his pokedex and scanned it. "…Everything seems normal; all things are where it should be for its level." Kurai then looked at Ash. "You've been awfully quiet, Ash."I just…watched. you just changed into an entirely different person. You usually have that dark, frightening vibe about you."
"We've just met and you think you know me so well?" Kurai's tone changed back into a dark one. Pikachu did his Pika Pika and Ash hesitated to nod. Kurai laughed softly. "No one knows really knows me, except for one person." He whispered. "She probably doesn't even remember me though." He smiled under a shadow that his hair made. "Snorunt was abandon just like me, weren't you, Snowrunt?"
How do you explain the bruises?" Ash asked.
"Probably lost a battle against a strong Pokémon, or it could've been abuse…" Snorunt tugged on his pants, as if he shouldn't continue on. He looked back down at it as it looked up at him in a cute sense. His smile faded and he stood up straight and begun to walk. Ash slowly turned and watched him and then realized he was being left behind.

"H-hey wait up!" Ash got up quickly and ran after Kurai.
"No…" Kurai started to walk faster.
"But what about the Snorunt?" Ash yelled. The Snorunt was actually pursuing them, hiding behind rocks oh so stealthily. It tripped and smacked into the ground. Ash turned and looked and so did Kurai. There was a silence, and then Kurai walked over to it, picked it up and hugged it. Ash looked at him with a slightly evil grin, thinking of all the blackmail opportunities. He looked down at it as it looked up. He hugged it tighter, not wanting to let go of it and it clung to his chest. Ash laughed a bit. Kurai quickly looked back at him. His eyes seemed to suck the light out of room, and Ash felt his soul go with it. Ash quickly shut up. Snorunt poked his chin. "Hm?" Kurai looked back down and it smiled cutely. "Awww…" Kurai snuggled the little Snorunt like it was a teddy bear. Ash returned to grinning evilly. Kurai then realized what was going on and bailed from it. He let go of the Snorunt, cleared his throat, and pushed up his glasses and did a bunch of random stuff to shrug off the feeling. Ash had that "Yea…I saw that Heheh" look. Snorunt smiled cutely again and Kurai just wanted to go "AWWWWWWWWWWWWW" but resisted. "You know you should catch it since it seems to like you so much" Ash suggested and smiled.
Mhm…" Kurai put the Snorunt on his head and stood up slowly. He then reached into his bag and pulled out his pokeball making kit and started to walk. Ash turned slowly again and watched him walk again before he realized he was being left behind, again. "Hey, come on man, wait up!" A half hour passed and they reached the end of the cave. Kurai had just finished putting the finishing touches on Snorunt's pokeball. It was designed to look like a Snorunt; he also put a special carving on it. The carving itself was abstract, but look liked it depicted a bond of some sort. As they walked out the cave the wind blew softly. Kurai stopped and took the Snorunt off of his head, and set it down on the ground as he held the pokeball. "Um…are you ready?" He asked the Snorunt. It nodded slightly. Ash watched silently. "Alrighty then." Kurai tossed the pokeball at the Snorunt. The Snorunt smacked it away. "W-what?" Kurai and Ash said at the same time. The Snorunt giggled in an "I'm just kiddin'" way. It then walked over happily to the pokeball and pushed the button, then beamed in. Kurai laughed weakly and Ash sweat dropped. The ball shook slightly and soon stopped. Kurai picked up the ball and smiled in the same prince like manner as before. A girl walked up to us and Ash smiled. She wore what seemed to be a green cape/ toga. "Hey Gardenia! Long time no see!" Ash waved to the girl. She waved back and smiled. "Heeeeey!" Kurai was utterly lost. Ash looked at Kurai as Gardenia got closer. "I'm utterly lost, Ash. Who is she?" Kurai asked.
"She's this city's gym leader." He said.
"Oh, interesting." Gardenia got closer and was soon in front of us.
Hi! I'm Gardenia!" She greeted Kurai.
"Hello…My name is Kurai." Kurai said.
"That's a cool name!" She looked at Ash. "Looking for a rematch?"
"No, no" Ash said. "But what about him?" He looked at Kurai.
Kurai had a blank expression in his eyes. Gardenia tilted her head and was suddenly all "up in his grill". "Soooo you wanna battle me do ya?" She asked.
"Uh…um…I think so?" Kurai said unsurely.
"Good! I'll be waiting in my gym!" She ran off anticipated for this battle. Ash smiled slightly.
"Hey Gardenia! It is kind of late so…" Gardenia stopped dead in her tracks and slowed down to a walk. She said nothing and kept walking.
"Uhhh…" Kurai said.
"She just like she always was." Ash stated.

"Eh…okay."

There was a silence for a moment, "So where should we sleep?" Kurai asked.
"The Pokémon Center always has rooms available." Ash stated.
"Oh cool…" Kurai said.
They walked to the Pokémon Center and got two separate rooms. It was around midnight and they said their goodnights to each other and walked into their rooms. Kurai lay on the floor and stared at the ceiling. Snorunt and Duskull popped out of their pokeball's. He smiled at them as Snorunt cuddled under his arm and Duskull phased through the wall. Kurai hugged Snorunt lightly and started to feel tired. He yawned and closed his eyes, slowly falling to sleep…

Heeeeeelllloooo readers~ Ish meh the writer…:D hmmmm…this is gonna be an interval/intermission for chapter that I have no idea when to end! So um…how ya been…? Kurai is a strange one yea? He's based off of myself, actually. A Tsundere or rather an Oranyan would be a proper term…hmmm…I dunno what to write...ah! Let us take a slight glimpse into Kurai's past shall we~?

Kurai awoke in a dark world. Purple mist surrounded him. "Hello?" Kurai called out. There was no answer just a deathly silence. He walked and walked aimlessly for about an hour or so. Dark images surround him then. He could faintly make out the pictures. Like watching a first-person movie in Sepia, he could just watch as he saw parts of his past. A young girl about the age of 10 walked up to him, and held out her hand. It took five seconds for him to reach out and grab her hand. The image faded as soon as he did. "hn…" Kurai was saddend, and then another image came up. It was the same girl around the age of 14 now. She was giving him a necklace with a single black pearl as a pendant. The girl smiled as she seemed to put it around his neck. She then seemed to hug him and turn around. Kurai, rather the younger Kurai chased after her as she walked to the edge of Celestic Town. He put his hand out but his voice was unheard.
The image faded and a dark figure stood before him. There was a blue glow around the head area. The figure stood silent and Kurai stared. "What's a Pokémon like you doing here?" It was a Darkrai, but it wasn't a nightmare Kurai was in either. The Darkrai was silent and then it put its hand out. A hole formed below Kurai. "Hey waaaaaaaiiit!" he shouted as he fell. He fell and fell. He closed his eyes trying to wake up. He opened the still falling. Out of the darkness, were stars. He looked around and was suddenly in a starlit sky. He looked down and saw Celestic Town. He just watched it. Then suddenly it was set ablaze. "No…no!" Kurai dived through the air and headed straight for Celestic Town. As he tried to grab onto something it vanished and so did the town. He hit the ground lightly. A shadow then hugged him from behind. There was a type of fuzz on the back of his neck. The figure seemed to wear a coat. It slowly went to his ear and whispered something. Kurai's eye widened and was suddenly put back into reality. His vision blurred as he woke up. Nurse Joy, Ash, Snowrunt and Duskull were all looking at him. "You were tossing and turning in your sleep" Nurse Joy said.
"Yea are you alright?" Ash asked. Duskull just floated.
"Snow…Snowrunt" Snowrunt said.
"I-I'm fine." Kurai said softly. "I just had a nightmare so don't worry."
"Oh…well, I should get started on making breakfast, then." Nurse Joy said.
"Alright, breakfast sounds awesome!" Ash smiled and stood up.
They both left the room and I didn't say another word. Snowrunt nudged Kurai and then went back in its pokeball after Kurai said nothing. Duskull also went back in his pokeball. Kurai sat up and put his right hand on his eye. "C…yndi…"
