I walk at a fast pace and I have thoughts running through my head as I am walking. My thoughts have a habit of getting the better of me and it's making me very nervous. I remember Mewtwo's words, and I definitely remember how it told us that this task would be difficult. I am aware that my thoughts may not be right, because although I lost a few battles in the past it doesn't mean that we can't get this job done. I lost battles as I was trying to become an aura master, but it happened I achieved my goal and I accomplished what I needed to accomplish. So I see that the path ahead of us is leading into another forest, but I'm guessing that this forest isn't cursed like the other one was. I want some sincere and definite answers, but I don't know if that would happen or not. If Mewtwo really is a being that knows all, then why would it be afraid to tell us everything? It doesn't add up or make sense, but I can't think about any of this now. I feel myself running out of breath, and I decide to stop walking for a little bit. Jenna turns to me and stops walking as well.
"Luke, why did you stop? We have to get out of here, and start our journey." I look at her with a confused look and then respond.
"Jenna, why are we running from the problem? It doesn't make sense, we can't be afraid of what is happening here. We need to stop running from the problem and face it right here and now!" I say enthusiastically. Jenna's mouth gapes open as I say this, and she looks at me for a few moments without saying anything. Once she is ready to speak, she looks and sounds angry and agitated.
"Luke, why are you questioning me? I know that none of this makes sense at all, but we need to avoid it for as long as we can!"
"But Jenna, we can avoid it but eventually when the entire world falls under this curse what will we do then? We can't have this curse spread, so we need to stop it at the root of the problem. Are you following me or not?" I say trying to sound stern but not rude. I feel myself feeling scared as I wait for her answer. She is looking at me, but I cannot tell what she is thinking and I wish I did so that I would be able to expect what she would say to me. When she speaks, she sounds angrier than before, and this really hurts me.
"Luke, I can't believe what I am hearing from you! I understand what you are saying but if you have any better ideas of what we should do or how we do it, I'd like to hear it. If you are questioning me, then I don't need to be accompanying you on this journey at all! Is that what you really want?" I stop breathing as soon as I hear this, because it really scares me to death. I stare at her, and then look down. I fight the tears for as long as I can, and then when they begin to fall, I look up at her and say,
"Jenna, I am so sorry if I came across as rude. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or make you think that I don't want you to come with me. I definitely want you to come with me, I don't know what I would do if you weren't here with me. Jenna, you are my life and you are so wonderful. I don't know what my life would be like without you. I need you, and I hope you understand what I am saying." Jenna smiles at me after she has thought about what I just said, and then she nuzzles my stomach again.
"Luke, I am sorry too. I got carried away when I said all that and I didn't mean any of it. I hope you can forgive me, and that we can continue. So what do you think we should do?" I shake my head to indicate that I am confused as well.
"I don't know. I guess we need to figure that out as well." My voice trembles because I am still hurt by what she has said. However, I need to focus on what we need to do now. She already apologized, and I know that our anger or emotions can sometimes get the better of us.
"You ready to keep going?" Jenna asks softly. Her voice sounds apologetic now, and the way that she spoke made her voice sound so beautiful and attractive. I look up at her, and then turn around. I see that the grass is quickly dying and turning brown, and the trees from the forest are lying on the ground. I look up at the sky, and see that the sun is still shining it's brilliant rays down on the world, and it's a beautiful sight. I hear Jenna breathing next to me, and she immediately touches my arm gently. I spin on my heels at full speed, and then see that she is looking at me, and then at the grass and the slowly dying earth.
"This is really bad," I say softly. Jenna touches me again gently, and I feel like I am becoming happier by the moment. Jenna is smiling at me, with her brilliant red eyes glowing. I know that I am making her smile, but I know that she will want me to keep moving.
"What are you doing, Luke?" Jenna asks me. "We should keep going." I nod my head, and feel like I cannot move. I don't know what is going on, but for some reason I feel like I am paralyzed by the sight in front of me. Alarms are ringing in my head, and I am thinking many thoughts at once. How are we going to stop this curse? Why am I feeling like nothing can be done? Why can't I move? What is going on? Jenna walks in a circle, and then I see that she is looking at me with a confused look. "Luke?" I try to turn my head, but find that I cannot because I am busy staring at what the curse has done to the earth. Suddenly, Jenna runs in front of me, and then her eyes start glowing. I don't know what she is doing, until I realize that she is using protect on me. I see that the white orb is surrounding me and her, and then she says to me, "This should protect us from the curse for at least a little while. Why aren't you moving by the way?" She looks at me with confusion, and then I say,
"I don't know. I'm trying to move but can't. What is this?" Jenna looks at me with a confused look for a few moments, and then she looks over at the land. She looks horrified by something when she looks over there, and suddenly, I feel like I am no longer paralyzed. I try to move, and am able to move. "Thanks Jenna." I thanked Jenna because I think her protect helped me to stop being immobilized by the curse. That is really scary to think that the curse can immobilize pokemon and prevent them from moving. However, I look at Jenna and see that she is too distracted to say "You're welcome" but I know that something is really bothering her so I turn and see that the house where my owners live, it's set on fire. My mouth falls open, and I feel a feeling of horror rising up inside me. Oh no! Are my owners okay? Jenna looks at me, and then says,
"Luke, we have to do something!" Her voice sounds cracked, like she is about to cry and I can understand why. I know exactly what to do in this situation, and I close my eyes in an attempt to call Mewtwo through my thoughts.
