Anyways START READING

Midnight's POV:

I groaned and stirred in my unconscious state.

What happened?

Memories of previous events flooded me. Images of a Braixen and fire flashed in my mind. For a second I was a bit confused, than I completely remembered the whole scene that occurred before I blacked out.

I remembered being attacked by a stray braixen that somehow managed to wander into my hidden cove. The braixen had thought I had tried to ambush her so she hit me with her Flamethrower attack. Yet here I am still alive.

My eves slowly drifted open as I was beginning to consciousness. At first things were merely a blur and nothing was visible. I blinked a couple of times and was able to regain a sharp sight. My golden eyes searched the area around me. I seemed to be on my makeshift bed of leaves. Skid marks in the dirt were visible that lead from a burnt area and traveled over to me. The Braixen may have dragged me over to here.

I glanced over at the site of where I was hit with the flamethrower. Even from here I could see and sense major damage. I could just smell the smoky scent mingling with the usual fresh aroma of the forest. I could also see the attack had affected a fair portion of my secret grove home. The ground that had been hit with the most direct damage was burnt and black. The surrounding grass was singed and burnt to ashes. The remaining clutters of grass that survived were tinged a dark gray at the tip. It would take months for the vegetation to renew in that small area.

My thoughts turned back to the pokemon who had caused this damage. That mysterious Braixen sure was a brutal attacker. A fierce move like that must have been practiced. It's damage sure proved that to me.

Realization hit me.

Wait where is that Braixen? What if something happened? Did she take something? Would she come back to finish me off?

Yet that seemed unlikely. If she wanted to finish me, she would have done it back then when I had fainted. And who would kill off a random stranger who did nothing wrong?

I shook my head and decided I should go look for the Braixen instead, and question her to discover the answers I seek.

As I slowly and cautiously stood up, I felt little pain. I did experience some dull pain from certain heavy burn marks, but the Flamethrower seemed to have not cause any major, long lasting damage or permanant on me. Yet by the way the fire had scorched the vegetation, I would have expected to feel very hurt and injured.

I pushed the mystery aside and finally pushed up and got into a normal standing position. I tried to walk off my pile of leaves, yet I tripped when something clinging to my leg yanked me down. I fell, completely shocked, and took some impact as I slammed into the hard, sturdy ground. I groaned and pulled myself up again, while spitting out clumps of grass. I managed to struggle my now even more injured Umbreon body up and spit out the sharp taste of the green plant. What was that? I jerked my head around and tried to see what had tugged me down.

A wooden stake had been drilled deeply into the floor. Expertise must have been needed to drill a log of wood so deep, yet the owner seemed to have done it. However, the random scraps of dirt and flattened grass around the wood told the owner was struggling to put it in the ground.

Yet how did it make me trip?

My eyes trailed up the wooden stake and I finally saw it, a rope. A sturdy rope was tied to my leg and the stake. That had caused me to trip.

Wait, I'm tied up, and stuck!

My ears shot up in alarm. I glanced around in alert, trying to spot the pokemon who had caused this. Panic overwhelmed me.

I had never felt so vulnerable before. Without the usual freedom of running and dodging, I felt like a defenseless and helpless piece of prey, just waiting in the wide open for a predator to find me and take me as it's victim.

Only one pokemon has been here recently. I concluded it had to be that Braixen.

I dipped my snout down at the wood stake and cautiously sniffed it. A scent of a fire type covered the wood. That confirmed my suspicions.

Was it recent though?

I sniffed the wood again. It was definitely strong and the scent laid there like a thick and heavy coat. So it definitely happened not so long ago, in fact, the Braixen was probably here now.

I lifted my head high up in the sky and howled at the top of my lungs.

"Let me go Braixen! I know you're there! Let me go!"

I lowered my head down and waited for a reply. I scanned my surroundings once more and hoped to spot the fire pokemon. After a moment of silence, the Braixen still didn't reveal itself.

Perhaps I was wrong, maybe it had already left.

I growled in frustration.

That Pokemon probably tied me up and escaped, thinking that I would wake up and run after it! And I would never chase off an innocent pokemon! I'm not a thug.

My muzzle reached towards the string of rope. I opened my mouth and gripped the thick rope with my teeth and threw my head back and tugged.

This rope is thick! I'm barely ripping this rope!

I tried to pull back harder, when suddenly, a feminine voice called out.

"STOP!"

The voice boomed loudly, and instantly caught my attention. I loosened my jaw and released the rope. I then rotated my head towards the source of the voice.

Out stepped a braixen, specifically the Braixen from before. The Braixen was definitely female from the looks of it. Yet, she was a girl that showed a fierceness and toughness. Her amber and sharp eyes glinted a dangerous light, and she pulled back her lips, showing her rows of tiny, yet pointed teeth and made a low growl. She once again had her battle staff out, ready to show no hint of mercy and blast me again.

"What are you trying to do? Are you attempting to ambush me again? Well, I'll hit you once more!" The Braixen snarled. The Braixen cautiously approached me, with her staff aimed out towards me, ready to fire at will when needed.

I tried to step forward, but she thrust her wooden stick at my face quickly and nearly hit me. The wood staff was dangerously close, and it intimidated me.

I did the only thing my instincts told me; I extended my paw into the air out and knocked the staff that to that ground. The wooden stick hit the grass with a soft thump. The Braixen widened her eyes it shock, then she glared back at me, her eyes piercing at me menacingly.

"What was that for?!" Braixen yowled, pushing me down.

I scrambled back up, taken by surprise from her sudden action. I dusted off some of the debris of the dirt that clung to my fur. I looked up at the Braixen and nearly angrily spat back, but I hesitated.

Fighting won't get me anywhere, she will see me as more of a threat. Besides, I guess I shouldn't be surprised for her hostile behavior, I knocked down her staff and she thought I an enemy.

I forced my anger to boil down and gave her a friendly smile, showing I met no harm.

The fire type gave a puzzled look from the strange peaceful gesture. She tilted her head to the side, utterly confused on why I was acting so friendly. After a brief moment, she started to growl and she went back to staring at me with deadly eyes. Her ears also flattened, suggesting she saw me as the threat.

"Why are you smiling at me? Are you trying to deceive me to letting you go?" She barked, "Well it won't work! I'm smarter than that! Don't think I'm an idiot!"

She then took a step back and plucked her staff from the ground. She threw her arm back and aimed the wooden stick at me, ready to attack.

This Braixen is psycho! Why is she always coming to such quick conclusions?

I couldn't stand this. All of these wild assumptions she is making are just insane... she struck my last nerve!

I bared my fangs and growled. Pressure rose up in me as I prepared to counter her.

Yet somewhere inside my head, I knew I shouldn't attack. She gets angry so easily, and I really don't want to face that destructive flamethrower when I was in such a weak and cripple condition. No matter how many unusual and bizarre threats this creative Braixen makes, I shouldn't get worked up and angry.

I once again tried to calm down. My muscles relaxed and I gave a shaky sigh.

I better seize the moment and start talking before she starts yelling again.

"Look," I explained to her, "I'm not here to attack. This is my home, and I was startled when I saw you here. I wasn't going to ambush you."

I finished explaining and looked up at her. She stayed silent, still unsure about the situation. She looked at me, searching for any signs that I had been lying. After a moment, she raised her staff high in the air.

I gasped in shock and braced myself for her barrage of accusations and burning embers. I closed my eyes shut and felt myself shrink as low as possible to escape her attack. My heart rate quickened and my muscles tensed with anticipation for the upcoming gruesome outcome.

NO! This isn't what I wanted to happen! How unreasonable can she get?! What is with all her suspicions?

To my surprise, instead of hitting me, she dropped the wood staff to the floor. I opened my eyes and saw that she no longer looked angry. All her hostile behavior washed away like a wave sweeping sand on a beach. I thanked Arceus for her peaceful response and sighed, completely relieved.

Then, I glanced up at her expectantly, waiting for her reply.

"Well, I'm sorry. You could have told me earlier, I'm a very reasonable pokemon." She replied in a low and calm tone.

"That's ridiculous! She's nothing near reasonable," I muttered under my breath at a volume that was was barely audible, "A true reasonable pokemon would have listened before accusing someone of ambush and blasting them to a crisp."

"What was that?!" The Braixen shot at me, her eyes blazing with hatred.

"Nothing at all!" I exclaimed.

"Good," the Braixen replied in a dull tone that didn't give away her true emotions.

That was a close call!

There was a pause. And we looked at each other with our eyes locked.

"So who are you exactly? What is your name?" The Braixen finally said, breaking the dead silence.

"Midnight, and you are?" I asked.

She narrowed her eyes and growled at the mention of her name. Then she softened her expression and gave a depressing face, in contrast to the angry frown I was used to seeing.

Oh no, did I say something wrong? Was this a touchy subject for her?

I sucked in a shot of air through my teeth, feeling bad that I may have hurt her mentally.

"Are you okay?" I asked while sending her a sympathetic look.

The Braixen snapped out of her depressed state and glanced up, her eyes still locked on something far away that I couldn't see. Her mind seemed to be in another universe. "No I'm fine... my name is Tulip."

She faltered when she mentioned the name 'Tulip' like it had some type tragic or major back story to it.

I looked at her with a curious and questioning face, wondering what tale laid behind her name, Tulip. Tulip, what is wrong with that name...I know a tulip is like a flower. What's so bad about a tulip. I continued dissecting the origin of the name searching for any signs that it may be a bad name, but to no avail. I pondered a bit longer until Tulip snapped out of her absentminded state and asked, "You're wondering why I look so depressed about my name aren't you?"

I widened my eyes in surprise. How did she know?

"Yes." I replied.

Tulip gave a shaky sigh. "I wouldn't be surprised...many pokemon wonder how my name's can have such a big impact. It all started on a long summer day..."

Flashback:

The sun was beating down on the forest, it's rays shined most intensely on a dry area that had leafless trees. These trees had their leaves scorched and scraped away because of the drought that had passed by throughout the land. The water had been sucked away and the sun continues to heat up this area of bare trees. Pokemon in this barren area had scattered away, abandoning home to seek a home with more water to quench their thirst. However, one couple stayed. They refused to leave this placed they had forever called home. This loving couple consisted of a fennekin and shinx. The fennekin just had given birth to a new child, that was still concealed in an egg shell. Yet because the young mother was already thirsty and exhausted, she died from all the effort required to give birth. The Shinx, completely devastated from the last breath his lover released, watched her still body helplessly. It was such a tragic scene. The Shinx had buried the limp body near the entrance of the couple's den and paid his last respects. The next day, the Shinx realized that a young baby would never survive in such a scorching and barren wasteland and so, he set off with the egg to find a new home. Finally the electric type had reached a vast valley, dotted with fresh springs and clumps of vivid colored flowers. The Shinx settled in to a vacant den that had vegetation blooming just outside. He took balls of soft moss and placed it on the den's floor for bedding. He even discovered a gushing spring flowing right near the den. Yet despite of the arrival to his new promising home, the Shinx still felt very devastated from his great loss. He could never look at the egg with a look of pure joy as it was the cause of his dear Fennekin's death. When the time came for the bright egg to hatch, the Shinx watched with a dull expression on his face, like he didn't care at all. The egg cracked and shook with great force and soon, a young fennekin cub popped out. It's young fuzzy body shivered and it softly whined for food. It was a breathtaking and adorable sight! Yet the Shinx still hadn't smile, the price for the cub to be alive today was just too much. He felt too much pain inside. He didn't even bother to give the cub a name.

A few months later, the fennekin was old enough to explore the expansive world that awaited outside. She rolled out of her den and stumbled and tripped from the bumpy and uneven ground. She was so used to the smooth stone floor of her den that she couldn't keep her balance! But her awkward walking didn't stop her, and so she raced off in search of new playmates. She discovered a group of friendly pokemon, all willing to play with her.

More months passed and soon the young pokemon were eager to start battling, yet something troubled the Fennekin. She discovered she only knew 2 moves! These moves were flamethrower and psychic, which may seem impressive, but the fact is they weren't. Though they were powerful moves, she couldn't tame the power and she only shot out weak embers and psychic power.

Time passed by and soon, all her friends were nearing evolution! However, the Fennekin was still having trouble struggling to battle with only 2 moves. Her friends had already learned a wide variety of attacks and the poor Fennekin couldn't even attempt to compete with them. They were too powerful. Soon, her friends started to tease her for her lack of power and soon they gave her the name Tulip, because she had no name before. The name Tulip may not seem insulting but it was. When her friends said the name Tulip, they would emphasize on the "Tu" like the number 2, signifying her ability to only learn 2 moves. This hurt the Fennekin and she asked her father for support. Instead, ignorant her father didn't see how the name Tulip was a problem so he decided to officially bestow the name Tulip to the Fennekin. Tulip was devastated and soon the bullying grew worse and worse. Yet no matter how many times she tried to shake the name off, the name stuck to her like glue. Tulip was offended by all the teasing and all the weakness she had because of her limited movepool. So, she decided to make use of the 2 moves she did have and train the 2 moves to the best of her ability. She was determined to have the strongest flamethrower and the most effective psychic attack the world has seen. She trained and trained and soon she became a fierce battler, despite her limited attacks. She soon evolved and she was ready to challenge others. She fought pokemon after pokemon and became victorious. Her opponents have said they had never seen such strong power. This is because all of Tulip's training, effort, and powerful motives had paid off. She had finally become a worthy competitor in battle. Sadly, Tulip didn't completely forget her past. And now all the bullying and terrible experiences stick to her name, Tulip.

End of Flashback.

I was speechless after Tulip finished her tragic background story. My jaw dropped from the utter horror of the story. Pokemon can be really cruel when it comes to bullying. I related Tulip's story to my past experiences. We both have so-called "friends" that turned their backs on us. I felt a pang of empathy as I remembered the pain I felt when Blaze had turned into my enemy.

"I'm sorry for you...Tulip" I said, with a voice full of pity.

Tulip shot me a sudden angry glace, "I don't need your sympathy! The past is the past and I'm stronger now!"

Tulip's amber eyes blazed with fiery determination. She seemed to feel accomplished that her effort had paid off.

"Her moves were a lot more powerful now and I know because I have seen the results." I thought, remembering the flaming encounter I had with Tulip.

"Hey, how did you reach my secret home anyway?" I asked trying to stray the topic from the saddening story.

The Braixen smiled with delight and quickly rose from her dark memories. Her stress and heartache seemed to sweep away as quickly as they came. What a sudden mood change!

"Psychic! I parted the thick bushes with it! And I used Psychic to tie you with that rope..." Tulip said with a voice full of pride. Then she snapped her fingers and craned her head downwards to look at the rope. "Ah yes! I should probably untie that..."

She took her fallen staff and twirled it in a circular motion. A pink aura coated the wooden stick and danced happily like fire. Then Tulip thrust her arm out and used Psychic on the rope. The rope slowly uncurled itself and loosened up a bit. I could fell the tight grip from the rope fall away and soon the rope lay still on the floor.

I wiggled my stiff leg and felt blissful to be free at last! My paws itched with excitement and I felt the will to exercise them. I burst out into a run and raced around the clearing, happy to feel the wind brushing my fur. After being still for so long, it felt good to stretch.

I slowed my pace and forced my hyperactive energy to dissolve. Then I looked back again at Tulip.

"I'm sorry again for the terrible understanding! I would like to make it up to you for invading your home and attacking you!" Tulip said.

I bit my lip. I don't need anything...

"No thank you, It's okay if you thought I was trying to hurt you as you always have had experiences with mean pokemon in the past. You've got nothing to owe me! You can just go along your life without the guilt of attacking me." I reasoned with her.

"Are you saying this just because you don't want my help?! And because you think I'm useless and will mess up everything? Do you think I would do things poorly if I helped you?! Or are you saying this because you hate me and want to get rid of me?" She exclaimed.

Here comes that craziness and hot temper again. I groaned in my head a bit, but I couldn't help but be amused by Tulip's personality.
"Are you always like this?" I questioned her.

Tulip tilted her head in confusion and gave me a perplexed look. "Always like what?"

She then continued to keep staring at me with a blank expression.

How does she not notice her wild outbursts? Does she honestly have no clue?

"Never mind," I said, not wanting to explain about her sudden anger and quick conclusive thinking, "Now how about helping me? Since you seem so willing to prove that you can help me?"

Tulip nodded and gave a slight thin smile. "Okay, just wait a second..."

She turned around and vanished through the thick bunch of bushes that guarded my home. I could hear the leaves rustle as she desperately tried to push her way through the growth of vegetation. After a while of struggling, she managed to make it...halfway through the bushes that is. All of a sudden, Tulip let out a yowl of pain.

Panic set in and instinctively dashed towards the yell to help. Had she been attacked? Strange things do happen in the depths of the forest far from the town. I halted when I reached the bushes. I can't bust through these thick bushes!

I did the only thing I could to assist her in the situation.

"Is anything wrong?" I cried out. I let my cry echo through the forest, and soon I heard a response.

"I was hit! Somebody stabbed me with a sharp and stinging attack!" Tulip shrieked. Her voice was full of fear and pain.

I had to help.

I lowered myself and held my legs back and readied to leap into action. I made a massive leap into the air and soared like a grand flying type. Before I dived into the undergrowth, Tulip called out, "Oops! Silly me...the sharp attack was actually thorns in these bushes! Not a pokemon!"

What? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I thrashed in the air and slammed head first into the bushes. The bushes may have prevented me from hitting the ground, but a series of thorns poked at me and clung on to me. This is very uncomfortable... I veered my eyes around and could only see blurs of green. How can I get out of this? I tried using Teleport to get out, but I failed miserably as the thorns distracted and disturbed my concentration. I'll have to do this the old fashioned way. I pushed with all my might and pulled back and broke free from the bushes. As soon as I was free, I gasped for a fresh breath of clear air. A new layer of scratches had been added to skin and I could feel some of them opened up and oozing with blood.

In the corner of my eye, I could see Tulip free and out of the bushes. She looked no better than I, with wild untamed fur, twigs latched into her hairs here and there and visible scratches.

"Sorry again! I should have known it was the thorns...and I should have used Psychic to part the bushes to avoid this unnecessary mess." She apologized.

I only let out a soft growl and paced over to her. I noticed I was limping, as not to put pressure on one of my paws that had a deep cut. Wait... The wound I got from the branch when running to the beach with Rose must have reopened with the help of the thorns! I groaned in frustration. What is with this chain of bad misfortune?

"Are you okay?" Tulip asked, casting me a worried glance.

"Fine." I spat with a bitter tone. I then realized I had replied to her with a harsh tone. "I'm sorry, that didn-"

"Save your apology! I was just asking if you were alright! What's with you? You get all worked up for nothing!" Tulip spat back, with an equally bitter tone. She was red with anger and I could feel waves of heat hit me as fire stirred in Tulip's body. Her emotions must drive her power...

"So what did you need on the other side of the bushes?" I asked trying to change the mood.

There was no use in trying harder to apologize. It'll only drive her rage further.

"I wanted to show you this!" Tulip held up a strange spherical object. It was tinted a light blue and it seemed like there was movement inside of it. Blue lights playfully danced inside the orb and swirled like the stars in a galaxy. I looked deeper into the strange object, completely entranced by the colorful show taking place inside.

"What is it exactly?" I breathed, still staring at the mystifying blue sphere.

"This here is a special orb I found that predicts the future! It doesn't reveal too much, but it still has lots of amazing features and value." Tulip said in a smug tone and with a glint of pride in her eyes. She then yanked the orb away from my view. "However, you can't use it!" Tulip gave a big smirk and instantly twirled around with her back facing me. "Bye now...jerk!" She said with a bitter tone. "Teleport!"

She then snapped her fingers and materialized away in a flash of bright white. Soon the light faded and I was all alone.

"Finally...what a relief, she's gone! I didn't want to see any stupid prediction anyways!" I muttered under my breath.

I then looked back up at the sky. The sun was just rising sending up streaks of red that pushed away the black of the night. The stars also started to disappear and dissolve away. The break of dawn looked beautiful, but then I stifled a long yawn and exhaustion instantly washed over me. It's morning and I feel so tired... Even though I got some rest when I passed out from that flamethrower, I must be tired from all that quarreling with Braixen and the injuries I got fighting my way out of that bush! Even if it's morning, I should get some sleep! I then stalked off towards my bed and crashed onto the comfortable pile of leaves. I curled up into a tight ball of fur and started to relax. I listened to the voices of the waking forest and my eyelids starting to grow heavy. All I could do now was focus on the peace and let myself drift way into relaxation. I swiveled my head around to take one last look at my home to make sure it was safe. Nothing seemed out of place. That's good.

But something caught my eye. Right at the place where Tulip teleported away, was a blue circle of light. The orb! I shot up and dashed towards it, ignoring the message my body was sending me to go to sleep. I blinked a couple of times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating because of exhaustion. It was still there. Tulip must have dropped it when teleporting away on accident! But I couldn't do anything about it now. Besides, I don't even like her! Why should I care if she left her prized possession!

I stared back at the orb and curiosity poked at me. It can't hurt to see what it can do... I nudged it with my paws and awaited for something paranormal to happen. Nothing happened. What a worthless piece of trash! I should have never believed Tulip when she said it "predicted the future"! I snarled and angrily kicked the orb high into the air. The blue orb scaled higher and higher up until it paused and gravity took over and brought it down. The sphere spiraled down to the ground and hit the earth. Instantly, the orb shined a bright red in contrast to the calming blue. I gasped in shock and stumbled back in fear. The orb continued to glow a crimson color that reminded me of blood. What's happening? The orb shook and made an eerie wailing sound. I covered my ears to block out the disturbing sound but to no avail. Instead, the creepy sound grew louder and I could almost feel my eardrums about to burst. I cried out in agony. I can't take it! "Shut up!" I yowled loudly, hoping the orb would stop. It just continued to wail. It was like the orb was depressed and it was crying because it was sad. "Please stop! Okay! I believe you can tell the future! Just give me a prediction and stop wailing!" I desperately yelled out of pain. Suddenly, the wailing died down and soon it completely stopped. Thank goodness. I was finally able to take a breath. What exactly was that?

"Blood...blood...blood will come in your near future Midnight," an ominous voice spoke.

I froze in fear. Who said that? I rotated my head around but could not find the speaker hiding anywhere. It must be the orb! I turned my sight over to the scarlet orb and saw wisps of red smoke coming from it. A creepy ancient text was visible in these puffs of smoke. Though I have never learned any ancient language, I could somehow read this one. The words read..."blood...blood...blood will come in your near future Midnight."

That's what the voice had said!

"There will be pain to you and others Midnight! Especially to someone you love..." The ominous voice spoke again. More ancient text appeared in the smoke and it again matched what the voice had said. It must be linked...so the voice is the orb speaking!

"Your true love hurt...someone young will die." The orb called out.

True love? I don't love anybody! And death? What does this all mean?

I let all these spooky messages settle in, but I couldn't make any sense of it.

"Well what does this all mean?" I called out, "And how do I prevent this?"

The orb started to speak, "Come close...and I will tell you."

I crouched down and leaned in closer to the red orb, and eagerly waited for the answer. But before the orb could speak, a figure flashed in between me and the orb. I glanced up and saw a tall braixen towering above me. Tulip!

The fire type said nothing as she snatched the orb away and vanished into thin air.

No... I must find out what's in store for me in the future! I must figure out the meaning behind this mysterious omen of death and blood! But I can't, Tulip hates me! I have to push these thoughts aside.

I laid down on the grass and squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to forget these dark prophecies. I tried to focus on the Pidgey tweeting in the distance and the rustling grass as it swayed in the wind. However, it seems like the events the orb foretold have been engraved deeply into my head already.

I muttered a silent prayer to Arceus, wishing for peace and happiness.

Words echoed in my mind,"Blood...blood...blood...someone young will die."

...

UGH DONE! There! FINALLY! IT TOOK 4EVER TO POST ANOTHER CHAPTER! I deeply apologize...I've been busy.
