Me: Well. I'm tired as hell but I need to start this now.
Leon: I trust you to portray me correctly?
Amber: Not with me around.
Me: Amber, I believe you should be leaving now.
Amber: Whats gonna make me?
Me: The secret I found in your diary. :D
Amber: WHAT! Don't you fucking dare, I'm leaving ok!
Me: Well that's done with, I do not own Pokemon, just these characters.
Chapter 4: Leon
(Leon's POV)
The walk home was uninteresting, but the rest of the day was quite fun... Something I rarely get to have with all the day to day training, its for the best though, if my mother is correct then I have to take part in a very dangerous task at some point in the future, when exactly we don't know.
I move closer towards my home, my parents are very strict about my training but gave me 2 days off for an unknown reason, I cannot even remember the last time I got some free time. It could be my mother, her predictions are extreamly accurate, maybe she knew I would rescue Summer, it makes sense now that I think about it, well I'm home now.
My home very much like Jets is outside the village. Its in a cave that goes underground. I enter my home, the first room is a massive arena area with training tools organised everywhere, my father runs a gym here for others to train at.
"Hello father" I say.
"Welcome back son. Your free time is over tomorrow so I hope you spent it well, your up at 6 AM for warm ups" My father says.
Maybe I should elaborate. My father is a Lucario and an extreamly strong one at that, being pretty much the strongest in the village besides Blade. His name is Reece and he trains me on a day to day basis in physical and aura training. My mother on the other hand is a Gardevoir called Kari, she runs the medical center in the village and is the strongest psychic in the village and the best healer, she also trains my mentally and emotionally. With all the training I have been through, I can easily fight on par with most of the adults of the village.
"Yes father, I shall take my leave and rest up until tomorrow." I say politely.
"Ok then son... Hmm... Something is brewing, something big is going to happen soon"
"I shall keep my guard up then"
"Your father is right though, you need to prepare for what ever is happening, my predictions have never been false before, so there isn't much chance they are this time. What ever is going to happen will involve you and some others as well." My mother says just returning.
"Do you know who it will affect?"
"No, while my predictions are accurate, they are very vague but I have a feeling it could involve that girl you brought back, its best if we keep an eye on her." My mother states
"That being said, where is she?" My father questions.
"She is staying with Jet until she is capable of looking after herself, from what I have seen, she has a severe case of amnesia, suffering from nightmares worse then what Gengars could make and she seems to be very timid, physical appearance of a normal Snivy, age 16-18, maybe older." I say
"That should be enough information for now, you should get some sleep." My father says
"Yes father. Goodnight mother, father.
I start walking towards a door on the other side of the room, upon entering I reach my bedroom, its very small and all it has is my bed and a chest for my belongings, I get into my bed, its very comfy, training may be hard but my parents are always supportive and kind, helping me through what ever I struggle with, I begin to drift off into a deep sleep...
...
...
"Its time for mental training son" My mother says.
Through the night while sleeping I practice honing my psychic powers and creating Protective barriers, I also expand my psychic powers to see whats around me, even while sleeping I can defend myself. We train all through the night while my body rests and then the time comes.
"Well its time for you to get up"
"Yes mother"
I move myself back into my physical body and wake up, I head towards the arena and see my father, his expresion is different though.
"Welcome son, I'm pleased to say that you are ready, both me and your mother have decided it would be best for you to go on a journey around the world to find out what it is you want to do in life, because as of today you are 18, happy birthday" He says smiling.
I had completely forgotten about my birthday, and now I have been told I can go on a journey.
"This is so unexpected, but if its what you believe to be best for me, I shall set out once I have fully prepared everything" I say, I spot my mother leaving their bedroom.
"Well then son, I hope you have a good journey, not only that but why not see if anyone wishes to go with you. Having friends around to help you is always a good idea." My mother says.
"I shall think about it. I had better prepare for this journey then"
"Go pack any personal possessions you may wish to take with you. If you wish you can stay until you are ready and don't forget to say bye to any of your friends before you leave" My father says.
I leave the room to pack my personal belongings, I get a small knapsack out and put my Mothers pendant and my Fathers dagger, I was given these once I was 10. After packing them I return to the arena room to see my father with a bag.
"This holds any food you may need, it seems you want to leave straight away, well we aren't going to stop you, go grab your destiny with your own hands so, we will support any decision you make."
"Thank you. Goodbye father... Goodbye mother..." I say slightly saddened.
"Don't hold such a sad face, this is an opportunity very few get to experience in this dangerous world" My father says.
"I understand father, I shall make you both proud though I may not see you again for some years" I say.
"Don't worry, see you later son" They both say together.
I leave the house slightly surprised by what had just happened, but they were correct in me saying goodbye to my friends, though Jet is really the only friend I have, he always made friends with the outsiders like me and Amber and always seemed so cheerful.
I head towards Jets home but on the way I see him running towards me with panic in his eyes.
"HELP! LEON HELP! ITS SUMMER!" He yells.
The moment I hear him I rush off, we both run towards his home as fast as possible, Jet was impressive, he isn't only keeping up with me he is moving faster, with all the training I went through not many people can keep up with me. We reach Jets house quickly and we enter, I see summer on the couch with a dark presence surrounding her.
"What is this..." I say confused.
"I don't know! She was like this when I got up! Nothing will wake her!" He shouts.
I move forward and look into her dreams. It's a very similar to the one she had at the hospital, I try to change the dream using my psychic powers yet they don't seem to be having an effect.
"If my psychic powers are not working then... Jet! A dark type is causing this. Unlike ghost and psychic they can't manage psychic abilities over large distances. I will help Summer, you find them." I shout.
I know of Jets ability unlike most people, though he doesn't want anyone to know about it just yet. I go over to summer and focus my aura, while dark types are pretty much immune to psychic powers, they can't handle aura very well, I use my aura to make a protective barrier around of Summer.
"ARRRRRRRRRRR!" I hear a pained scream. The dark presence disappears.
I go outside to see Jet holding a razor shell around Gingers throat.
"Ok Jet, I think this is enough... Now then Ginger, I hope you can explain yourself" I say sternly.
"Leave me alone, I have nothing to say to the like of you!" She says both angry and scared
"Well then, being a dark type I am unable to read your mind but I am very capable of using aura to see if you are lying or not, if you answer 3 of these questions incorrectly I will let Jet run loose. Now then, why were you doing this" I say. At this point Ginger looked defeated.
"I-It wasn't me directly... I was payed to bring this stone close to the Snivy by a Hypno" She says holding a black stone in her mouth.
"A dusk stone." I say, I take the stone off her and crush it.
"Now then you may go but if you ever attempt anything like this again, I'm sure Jets more then happy to stop you" I say looking at Jet, He looks more furious then a raging Amber.
Ginger runs off without looking back.
"I swear if she does anything like this once more I will destroy her!" Jet yells.
"Well Jet, now that I am here, I need to talk to you about something. I am leaving on a journey round the country." I say.
"Really? Lucky you! I never get to do anything fun, I just gather berries for the village." He says cheerfully.
At this point I see Summer leave the house looking terrified.
"Nightmares once again. I assume." I tell her
"Ho-How di-did you know?" She stutters
"Well me and Jet stopped them, it seems they are caused by a dark type, though instead of getting close they get others to bring Dusk Stones near to you and focuses their power through them. Or so I have gathered from what I have seen." I say after some thought.
"Thank you" She shouts nearly in tears.
"Well this brings me to my next question, Summer, you are being targeted by someone psychologically, so it may be in your best interest to join me on my journey, I should be capable of stopping any nightmares from reaching you." I say.
"Bu-But" She stutters.
"Wait? Your going on a journey?! Take me with you please! Its so boring here, I only ever talk to Amber and you." Jet shouts.
This surprised me somewhat, Jet begging me to take him with me was something I was not expecting, but its neither a bad thing "Your free to come with me Jet, but you had better bring Amber along, without you around she could possibly kill someone." I say carefully.
"HAHAHAHA! Finally I get to do something with my shit life!" Jet shouts into the air.
"And you ain't leaving me behind Jet." Amber says entering the clearing
"Well then, now that this has been sorted out, I now realize the best way to start this journey is to go to the Luna Tower." I state
"Are you fucking kidding me? That's insanely far away Leon!" Amber shouts
"Yes I do realize this but unless you have enough money to buy a Lunar Wing and then have the knowledge to tell between fake and real then be my guest" I say
"Why do we need a Lunar Wing anyway?" Jet asks confused
"A Lunar Wing stops the holder suffering from nightmares. It would be more reliable then me blocking them out as the Lunar Wing comes from Cresselia, a very powerful psychic." I state
"Really? Th-Thank you guys for helping me" Summer says smiling.
"Its no problem, now then, how about we gather our things?" I say
After that everyone nods and goes of in different directions, Jet and Summer enter Jets house, Amber heads back to the village and I myself head to the river to relax, this is going to be a long journey, I could use a quick brake. I sigh and take a nap.
Me: I am sorry if the chapter seems rushed, I just really needed to get it out there.
Leon: I am quite please by what you have done, considering the lack of sleep you have been getting.
Amber: True, staying up for 40 hours is painful. I know cause I've done the same before.
Me: Nice one Amber, Well then, with the addition of a map the story is coming along nicely and (Spoiler Alert... Ok most people have left) This is gonna be the map the group are using. It was drawn by Jet just so ya know.
Jet: Hey you can't do that!
Me: Well tough luck, Amber would kill me and Leon would make it look better, not to mention Summer knows nothing of the continent, you're the final person.
Jet: Fine...
Me: Well then, see ya soon fans.
