He has left Ten Carat Hill! What will happen next?!
The Key to the Voices:
"Hello? Are you there?" - This is normal speaking.
"Hello? Are you there?" - This is telepathy, or known as speaking with the mind.
Hello? Are you there? - This is just a character's own thoughts. No one else can hear them, unless they have telepathy.
He had no idea where to begin.
Walking along the shores of Melemele Sea, Decidueye was thinking about what to do next. He knew every mile of Melemele Island, but didn't know where to start. Decidueye sighed and sat in the sand. He saw his reflection in the water, and noticed some things that he couldn't notice before.
He knew he had ruffled black hair, but there was one strand of white hair that stuck up from his head. He could see his eyes, yellow in color with a red pupil. Not very human like, but what could he do? He can't change anything about himself. He touched the water with his new hand. If felt different, being a human. But for some reason he got used to it very quickly.
"WHOA look at the damage on those trees there!" he heard a voice say. Looking out of the corner of his eye he saw a man in a white lab coat and no shirt on. He had a white cap and green sunglasses on his head. "Yikes. Good thing they didn't fall on my home though, yeah? Lucky me." The man was walking around a building, which Decidueye assumed was his house, and scanning the area for damage. The beach and Route 1 was pretty trashed after what happened last night, trees were snapped in half, the beach was covered in trash, and there were a lot of mud puddles on the ground. The man noticed Decidueye staring at him and smiled. "Hey there!" he said, waving at Decidueye. His eyes widened and looked away. He heard footsteps getting louder and louder. Suddenly, the man was right behind Decidueye and looked down at him. "Hello! What are you doing here?"
Decidueye quickly got up from his sitting position and looked at the man. He did NOT want any social interaction right now. "Hey, no need to get up y'know," the man said in an upbeat voice while smiling. "Well, I haven't seen you around here."
Decidueye just stood there.
The man looked confused for a second. But then he went back to his usual smiling and said, "Hey, I understand. You don't need to speak to a stranger like me! And to fill this social gap between us, my name is Professor Kukui." He held out his hand.
This is one of those 'handshakes' that I've seen other humans do when they greet one another, Decidueye thought. It would be rude to not shake his hand, so Decidueye reached out and grabbed his hand. The man now known as Kukui shook it slightly up and down, then let go. "Cool, now we are on good terms with one another, yeah? So, what's your name?"
A name? I don't have any other names besides 'Decidueye.' And I don't think a human should have a Pokémon name. I'll have to think of a name later. Maybe Arceus can give me one. Decidueye, lost in thought, completely forgot about the man standing in front of him. "Hey, you still with me cousin?" Decidueye snapped out of it and had a confused look on his face.
Cousin?
Why did this man, Kukui, call him his cousin? They were definitely not related in any way, shape, or form, considering the fact that Decidueye is not an actual human to begin with. Kukui looked at Decidueye trying to figure out his silence. "Can you speak?" he asked.
Decidueye nodded.
"Hm. So you just don't speak to others?"
Another nod.
"Oh, well… that's completely fine with me! I'm not judging, you can do whatever you want!" Kukui laughed. "I know a guy who does the same thing! Nothing to be embarrassed about, okay? I'll just ask yes or no questions." Kukui asked Decidueye, "So, are you from here?"
Nod.
"So you live around here?"
Nod.
"Okay… um… where do you live? Oh, wait. That's not a yes or no question… um… this is harder than I thought," Kukui said laughing again. This guy was just a bundle of joy. "Can you show me where you live? Like, can you point?"
Decidueye pointed at the cave over by Ten Carat Hill.
"So you live… in Ten Carat Hill? Really?"
Nod.
"Uh… that's pretty cool, I didn't know anyone lived there. That just means you have nerves harder than a Metapod using Harden!" Kukui smiled even bigger and then looked at Decidueye in the eyes for the first time and actually took a really good look at them. "Whoa, that's pretty weird. Are you okay? Are you sick?"
Decidueye made a facial expression that asked him why.
"You have… yellow eyes. And red. Yellow and red eyes, I don't think that's normal… here, come back to my home, or lab. Whatever you want to call it is fine. I want to check to see if you are sick in any way…" Kukui motioned for him to follow him back to his home. He started walking over, and Decidueye slowly followed this man. Why am I doing this? I should be looking for a signal that could tell me where Team Laser is. But Decidueye pushed the thought aside and continued to follow behind this Pokémon Professor.
