Ryan sighed in relief as he finally reached it. the center of the forest. It had taken the child 2 days to traverse the vastness that was the forest. All the while, hiding from pokemon and humans had known how hard it was going to be from the start, but that didn't stop him. Now that he was finally here, he set the riolu down and gazed around. The area was beautiful, a natural wonder. The central space was occupied by a vast lake that seemed to stretch towards the horizon. In the center of the lake was a gigantic tree, one that seemed to touch heaven itself.
In the area surrounding the lake was a dark, dense forest. It was the perfect place to protect his new friend. The forest had a vast amount of wild berries, as well as strong wild pokemon. That is what usually prevented most trainers from going there, but for some reason, they just seemed to either ignore him and her, and just let them pass or they helped them through obstacles, making their journey easier. Although he found their behavior odd, especially when an Ursaring cut down a section of vines that had been blocking their path, Ryan wasn't complaining. After all, it was only thanks to them that he and Riolu had made it this far.
After taking a moment to take in the sight, he gently set Riolu down, and went to work finding everything they would need to make a camp. He gathered dead branches, dead grasses, and berries first. They were all relatively easy to find, and it didn't take him long before he had a fire going. This made him proud, as he stared at it for a few moments. This was his first actual fire that wasn't artificially made. As he beemed with pride, he looked back towards his unconscious companion. She seemed to have noticed the fire and began to stir. As she stirred, she began to aggravate some of the wound she had just patched up. Ryan saw this and quickly ran over. He sighed when he realized the wound wasn't reopened, just aggravated enough to allow a small amount of blood to leak through. With a sigh of relief, he went to work finding objects to make a small lean-to, not knowing how long he and she would be there.
A few hours, and uncanny pokemon incidents later, he had a small, shabby looking building built "Well it's not much, but it'll do" he said It was built mostly of freshly cut trees, cut down not by him, but by a band of 'rampaging' Ursaring that had just happened to pass by him. They were then pushed by a group of Rhydon who just happen to see them as obstacles in their territory, and just happened to put them in just the right place for him to be able to use them as walls. After the pokemon helped with the three walls, he then took to the task of collecting more dead sticks, larger ones than before. After about an hour of working, he had enough to cover the trees and make a roof. After placing them on the roof, he gathered mud from the lake, and used it as something like cement, or plaster, placing it in between cracks so the main building wouldn't fall apart.
By the time the building was complete, the sun had just set, and he was exhausted. He gently dragged riolu by the fire and cuddled up with her, keeping her under his blanket so she wouldn't be cold. He then watched her, laying right next to her he smiled. He then pecked her on the snout, he could swear he saw a smile on her face as he quickly fell to sleep.
The next morning Ryan woke up to a mist surrounding him and Riolu. It was a thick mist, but for some reason, it didn't seem to phase him as he stood up "Weird" he said to himself, looking at the forest before returning his gaze to the lake. There he saw what was the source of the mist. A shadowy figure, small and thin, flew through the air around the lake. At first glance, he couldn't tell what it was, but as it continued with it's midair acrobatics, it moved closer to him. Once it was in view, he saw a pink cat-like pokemon with a large, long tail and a large nose. He had heard stories of pokemon like it, but he was sure they were myth "Could it be?" he asked himself "Mew?". As if hearing it's name, it looked at him and a moment later, flew away, carrying it's mist with it. Once the mist was gone, Ryan looked over to the riolu, as if he had enough talking to himself "That was weird, wasn't it" he said as he turned. Just then, he was hit with a strong, sound punch square to his gut. In front of his aching, withering body, was the Riolu he had been caring for, now awake, and angry.
Hey all, well here is that next page i promised. I know the appearance of a legend is a bit corny, but hey, it fit didn't. Riolu is now awake, i wonder what she will do with Ryan, the human that has been protecting her. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Until next time. Adios Amigos!
