Ehhhhhhhh?Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? THIS IS TOO
MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE!!!!!!!!
Okay, I didn't count how many word were in that last one- drinks a huge gulp of water- but whatev. Did you know that I sprained my wrist 30 min. before writing this? Just goes to show, perserverance is good, and Ice Cold Gel really works, eh?
Solar Eclipses are cool! hic
I'd hic like to apolagise hic before- hic hand for anythin weerd that hap-hic pens to hic
Hinareeeeeeee. Yay
My dress flowed behind me as we came to the town they called 'Canalave'.
"Iku so!" cried Agnome. (Let's go!)
I nodded, stopping so that Agnome could lead the way. We walked, and smiled at the passing people. Some of them even smiled back. Eventually we came to a ferry. There was a man there waiting for us.
"Hello. Would you like to board a ferry to Iron Island, my lady?" he asked.
Oh, man. All the boys I'd passed so far had stopped to look. I snuck a look to Agnome. Hew nodded.
"Yes please," I told him.
So we got on the boat, waited a fairly long time, and after a tiring wait, we arrived at an island.
"Iron Island, miss," said the man.
"Thank you," I said. Then I excused myself and the others, and got off the ship. As soon as I did, I got my hat on.
Then Agnome led me, Emrit and Yuxie to a rock.
"Why are we here?" I asked.
"Um, er well ya know how we asked you to change our names?" said Agnome. "Well, the reason why is because a few hours from now, a group of trainers will pass by. We need you to listen in on their talk because we can't. And don't ask questions until the end."
"But-" I said.
"Eh! I said no questions."
"But-"
"Eh!"
I put a pouting face on, then crossed my arms.
"Wait a minute," mumbled Agnome. He rummaged in his bag and came out with a red, yellow, and green cloak.
"Boy, you sure do like colors. I'm more of a white-and-green person, though," I told him, taking the cloak and putting it on. I felt a wave of cold pass over me.
I looked to my right to see if they were wearing cloaks too. Yep. Emrit smiled and brought a pink box out of her cloak (I noticed that Agnome was wearing blue, me red, yellow and green, Emrit pink and Yuxie yellow. Go figure) and motioned for me to sit down besides her. I shrugged and walked over to her. She opened the box to reveal a Cup Noodle and three rice balls. I gasped and took the Cup Noodle. She took a water bottle from her cloak (Also pink, geez!) and gave it to me as she picked up a rice ball. I opened the pack slowly, poured the water in and sniffed it.
"Do you have any chopsticks?" I asked her.
"Uh..... do you like pink?" she asked, taking a narrow box from her cloak.
"Just gimme!" I cried, snatching the box, opening it, taking the chopsticks inside, and starting to eat my cup noodle.
She eats like a rhydon, thought Emrit.
Erm..... right..... thought Agnome.
She's still pretty, thought Yuxie.
"Uh, is there a garbage around here?" I asked. They all leaned over my bowl. I laughed nervously.
"All done already?" said Emrit, laying down.
"Yep," I told her. I shrugged and put the cup besides me.
Time to catch some Z's, too, I thought. I yawned and looked at Emrit. She was already fast asleep. I stretched my arms and laid down on a smooth rock. I closed my eyes. I stretched again and turned on my side.
This time there was no dreams. Except this tiny bit with me and Y..... but anyways. Other than that there was nothing.
"Morning! Wake up, sleepyhead!"
I sat up, my eyes not adjusting quickly to the change in light. I shook my head, getting used to the light quicker. I looked up to see who woke me up. It was a grinning Yuxie. I stared at him and got up, still in my cloak.
"What did you do that for!" I yelled.
Yuxie backed away a couple paces, then smiled sheepishly. I decided to let it go and try and find Emrit instead. Yawning, I looked for the signature pink hair. Instead, I found a small group of people. Could these be the trainers? Okay, well anyways, you know how your moms tell you 'never eavesdrop'? Well, screw that. I focused on listening.
".... going crazy," said a boy with black hair.
"Ah, that's what me and Lucario are trying to find out," said a man. He was also in blue. He was also wearing... my symbol? My cloak swirled around me, seemingly responding to my mood. I hid behind a rock to hear the rest of the conversation.
"But then how come Lucario's not going crazy?" asked a girl with blue hair.
"Lucario's covering itself with its aura," replied the man.
Aura? What the hell is this?
"So that's why it's not getting affected like all the other steel-type pokemon?" asked another man, this time with cropped brown hair.
"Yep," replied the blue man.
Po.... kay.... mon? Huh?
Suddenly words came to mind, though I didn't know what they meant:
Darkrai, Grovyle, Cresselia, Shaymin, Tropius, Piplup, Mesprit....
"Let's rest here for a bit," said the brown-hair man.
They all sighed and let their bodies go slack.
This is my chance to get in their conversation! I thought.
I ran behind the cover of the rocks and buttoned up my cloak so that they couldn't see my dress. They might suspect something. Then I walked past them casually. Who knew all those years in Drama class (Which I HATED) would finally pay off. They noticed me there and one of the boys said, "Oh?"
I turned my head innocently, looking at the group, then smiled sheepishly like Yuxie and said, "Oh. Sorry. I didn't know anyone else was here. I was trying to get away from the rampaging Pokay..mon." That last bit was a little slurred.
"Oh, then feel free to join us!" said the girl.
"But how are we supposed to be sure that it's safe?" I asked her.
"Lucario's checking the area with its aura," she explained, pointing to a blue and black creature.
Oh no, not again!! I have to control myself and act natural. Act like I'm used to it.
"Okay," I said, sitting as far as possible from it as, well, possible. "So," I said. "Introductions?"
"Well, you know Lucario, and I'm Dawn," said the girl.
"I'm Ash Ketchum, and I'm training to become the world' greatest Pokemon Master!" said the boy.
"I'm Brock, and I'd like to take you out!" cried the man with cropped hair. Dawn bonked him on the head, and that seemed to shut him up.
"I'm Riley. I'm here investigating Iron Island," he told me.
"I'm Hinari-Haru, and, well, I just came here because... um.... my friends told me I could see some cool Pokemon here," I said.
"Well, they weren't very smart. There's been news of rampaging pokemon since last week," Riley said, eyeing my cloak. "Say, where'd you get that cloak?"
"I got it from my mom," I lied smoothly. "She got it from her mom who got it from her mom who got it from her fifth cousin twice removed.... complicated thing."
"I see... so where're ya from?" asked Ash.
"Tell him you're from Hoenn," whispered a voice from behind me.
Yuxie? I thought.
"I'm from Hoenn," I said. Ash nodded.
"Hey, ya wanna hear a story?" asked Brock.
"Sure!" I said enthusiastically. What could hurt with a story?
He coughed, took a deep breath, and started to speak.
"Legend tells that once, the god of Pokemon had a friend.
An Aura Guardian, the only female Aura Guardian in the world.
Together, they made Sinnoh, shaped it, and made it lush....
...until one day, the Aura Guardian disappeared to another world.
Maddened by its sadness, the god went on a rampage until one trainer,
who could communicate with the hearts of pokemon, summoned Dialga,
Palkia, and Giratina and defeated the god, sealing it forever....
But the trainer was not evil. He didn't kill the miserable beast;
he put it into an endless sleep lest the Guardian come back once more.
That legend has been passed down generation through generation."
When he had finished, my vision went fuzzy. I saw doubles of everything and my knees buckled.
I swayed a bit, then I blacked out.
The vision
I opened my eyes. I was in a barren place, all rocky and dry. I saw two figures in the distance. I walked closer, then screamed. It was me, walking with the creature from Tokyo!
Amazingly, I looked happy. It looked happy too. My eyes widened. I walked closer.
".... This place is so barren. How about we make it green so all the pokemon can play in the grass?" said ?me.
'Hmm... good idea,' said the creature.
It raised its head and a wave came from it. Wherever the wave touched, it became green and sprouted flowers. I gasped. It was so beautiful. I came closer, just to make sure that it was safe. I focused on
?Myself.
It was me, all right. Even the signature dress and my long hair.
"Hm. We should get back to Spear Pillar. Giratina will be wondering where you are," said ?me.
The creature's circles went pink, then back to green.
'Don't do that again. Let's go.'
It stomped its foot and ?me and the creature disappeared.
I felt woozy again. My vision went blurry, and I fell backwards, knocked out.
Present time (Oh yes!)
"Haaaru? Haaaaaaaru-sama? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaru-sama?"
Where's my hat?
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaru-sam- oh hey, she's awake."
Who's he? Why is he calling me Haru-sama??
"Testing, one, two, three testing!"
Just one more minute, dad....
"I say Haru, You say Hinari. Haru!"
"Hinari," I responded weakly.
"Haru!"
"Hinari...." I mumbled.
"Oh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
HARU HINARI!
Absorbant and yellow and porous is she!
HARU HINA-"
"Hey, I'm not yellow! Or absorbant! Or porous (Whatever that means). And I don'tlive in a pineapple under the sea (I'm allergic to pineapples anyways)!" I cried, stretching.
I rubbed my eyes. was standing over me with a grin. I sat up.
"Wipe that grin off yo face sholdjyah and get to work!" I said, imitating General Meenie from Naru's favorite T.V. Show, 'Toddler Bootcamp'.
He laughed and went into a navy position. "Yes ma'am!" he cried, walking away.
Agnome and the others sat down besides me.
"I believe we owe you one explanation," he said.
"Hell yeah."
