Note: Yes! I fixed the format! I guess I'll try to do the same with my other fix when I get the time to do so... Other than that, please enjoy...
Rose's POV:
I sat down on a rock to take a rest. I was practically sweating after having trudged through several miles.
The voice said that it would lead me to Star Cave. The voice soon allowed another pink haze to lead. What I didn't know is that this 'Star Cave' isn't exactly someplace near.
"Can't I please take a break? My feet are hurting!" I complained, hoping that the voice would reply.
The voice just sighed.
"Fine, just hurry up! I can't take this much pain any longer!" the voice panted.
"Whoah! You okay there? What happened to you anyway?" I asked.
"Someone... or something broke into my cave and did this to me!" the voice panted.
"Did what?" I asked.
"I'm not even sure myself! All I know is that I feel cold and painful now," the voice replied back.
I stood back up.
"I thought you were gonna take a break?" the voice asked.
"I decided that if someone's life is at risk here, I shouldn't be wasting time... I'd rather not waste time and hurry over to Star Cave," I replied, feeling weird with what I had said.
"Wait! This is the first time I heard you being kind and all," the voice gratefully told me.
"K-kind? No! I'm doing this for myself!" I yelled through gritted teeth, "I-I know that saving you will just give me more experience and make me stronger!"
"Oh really? Then why are you helping someone that you don't even know?" the voice giggled.
"Do you want me to help you or not?" I growled.
"Hey, hey! Don't be like that! It's not bad to be nice to others," the voice chimed.
"Listen, I'm a thief! An outlaw! I do things for my own personal gain!" I clarified.
"Really? Because that sounds like a huge excuse to hide that you really do care and stuff like that!" the voice teased.
"Believe in what you will, I have to get going," I quickly dismissed as I continued walking.
The rest of the trail was rocky and it was quite ill-suited for my skinny legs. I pushed on though, ignoring the pain.
I stopped at a clearing to take a break, drinking water from a nearby spring.
"Look up ahead! It's just there near the crevice!" the voice suddenly interjected, making me choke on the water I was drinking.
"You know, you should give a warning the next time you're about to just send some telepathic message to my mind..." I coughed.
I looked up and saw what the voice was talking about. Well hidden by some rocks was a small cave opening.
"Hmm... So I take it that I have to go in?" I asked.
"Well... Yeah... It's a Mystery Dungeon so you should be prepared... I'm trapped here at the deepest floor," the voice explained.
"Ok then, maybe there'll be some loot in there for me," I mumbled as I entered the cave.
The cave was somewhat beautiful, having rocky walls which edged into crystal formations.
Even though there was a light and airy appearance, I couldn't help but feel that there was something dark about the place... I merely dismissed it as my mind's way of thinking though...
Another strange thing is that I didn't run into a single enemy... I knew dungeons like these were supposed to be full of Pokémon due to having enough food and shelter to support it all, but there was none that I had seen so far.
They must be sleeping, I tried to assure myself, though I couldn't help but think they could be possibly scared of something.
Being a Psychic-Type, I could sense things others could not. There was something ominous about this dungeon that I sensed. I felt a huge amount of energy radiating from deeper inside the dungeon.
I ignored my premonitions and still pressed on. I plunged deeper into the cave and noticed one thing: I noticed that it was turning colder.
Although I've never been to Star Cave before, something told me that it did not have that kind of cold atmosphere before. Maybe that could have been the reason there were no enemies present.
"I don't like where this is going..." I muttered.
The voice remained silent. No response could be heard. It was like there was some Psychic barrier present that had cut off my only means of communication with the stranger that I was tasked with rescuing.
As I went deeper, I also began to feel shivers run down my spine. There was definitely something abnormal about the cave... An eerie atmosphere soon crept in as a fog became present.
I'm embarrassed to say that for once... I actually felt scared out there... I pushed on though, remembering my promise.
After some time, I finally managed to find the stairs to the deepest floor... With the fog covering the floor, I had found it by accidentally tripping in it.
I walked down slowly, seeing that the stairs were coated in ice. As I entered the final room, a gust of icy wind greeted me.
The room had a bluish tint to it as ice crystals jutted out from the walls and ceiling. At the center of the room were some rocks floating in mid-air frozen in ice, as if a landslide had occurred but something froze it in the process... I didn't know if my eyes deceived me, but I saw a yellowish glint in the middle of the frozen landslide.
I stepped forward to inspect it, but when I took one step, a miniature blizzard blowed by, blocking the opening I had come in from with a mystical bluish flame.
When the blizzard subsided, I could see a whitish figure standing, or floating I should say, on the other side of the room just across me.
I took a step forward, and so did the figure. I continued walking until I recognized the figure to be a Froslass. There was still something... off about her though.
Using my Psychic powers, I could sense a great deal of negative energy coming from her. Her face was absent of emotion, like it was a soulless body.
She then looked straight at me with her piercing eyes and unleashed a shrill, high-pitched cry. I just stood there, paralyzed by such a scream.
"OP... PO... NENT!" she moaned, as if she had difficulty speaking, "DE... FEAT... OP... PO... NENT!"
She immediately launched an Ice Beam my way after speaking.
"Wha-" I exclaimed as I dodged, "A fight, eh? Fine, I guess I have to defeat you then..."
She didn't reply to what I had said. Her hollow face, devoid of emotion, didn't seem to comprehend what I had said... The Froslass wasn't... normal...
She launched a Shadow Ball at me, which hurled a lot. She was clearly a strong opponent.
I struck back with Psychic, knocking her backwards... However, she merely brushed it off and retaliated with Blizzard.
I barely dodged the attack and retaliated with Psychic. She took more damage this time, probably because Psychic sometimes tears away at your defenses for non-physical attacks.
"Eat that!" I grinned.
I regret doing that because that kind of made her decide to use a move that I've never seen before... But it was a move that I've heard of in that legend...
"SHADOW... RUSH..." she pronounced with difficulty as she charged at me, delivering a painful blow to me as well as herself.
I've never felt such pain before... But I was more horrified of what the Froslass had said. The attack's name sounded familiar... And I knew where I had heard that before... But I silently prayed that I was mistaken...
Seeing no other way out, I took out a Sleep Seed and stuffed it down her throat. This made her fall asleep, at which I madly used Psychic several times at her.
When she woke up, she became unstable... Probably Hyper Mode, but I refused to acknowledge it because I wanted to believe that I knew nothing of that kind of curse. She randomly launched attacks everywhere, even attacking herself.
"Help me! It hurts!" she screamed before she continued to chant about defeating an opponent.
I quickly swallowed a Violent Seed and ended the battle with a strong Psychic at her.
"Sorry," I mouthed as she fainted.
After she fell to the ground, the bluish tint to the room began to fade. All the ice began to fade away, including the one that had froze the landslide, causing it to continue falling.
I screamed as I knew it was over, but before any rock could hit me, I felt my body compress into thin space in the process of teleportation.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself at the entrance with the body of the fainted Froslass... A small, yellow-headed creature soon materialized in front of me after a second that I had arrived at the entrance. I recognized it to be the yellowish thing in the center of the landslide.
"Thanks for saving me!" it said with a childish grin.
"Whoah! Aren't you that voice that keeps on popping in on my head?" I sarcastically asked.
"Well... Yeah... I have a name, y'know... You can probably call me Jirachi," he smugly said.
"Wait... You don't mean... You're THE Jirachi? The legendary wish maker?" I gasped.
"Why yes... Yes I am..." he replied as if he was used to this.
I shrugged off my surprised expression... Something happened down there and I had a right to know about it.
"Well, Jirachi... What happened down there?" I asked, glancing at the fainted Froslass.
Jirachi's expression turned darker.
Jirachi began to explain, "This Froslass here... She's not a normal Froslass, see... She's actually a-"
"Shadow Pokémon," I completed Jirachi's sentence, hoping that he would merely laugh at it and say that it was just a children's story.
Jirachi became surprised with what I had said...
"My, you're correct..." he continued, "Shadow Pokémon are not just a myth... It's just that it happened on another world... This Froslass here... She didn't ask for this to befall her.. I'll make sure she is properly cared for..."
"The question is... How did she get to this world?" I asked.
Jirachi froze.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you... No, it is too early for you to learn about this..." Jirachi solemnly replied.
"Fine then," I answered, understanding the grave tone Jirachi utilized.
"Either way," Jirachi continued, his tone gradually changing to a more lighter one, "I must thank you for saving me... I don't know how I could thank you, though... Oh, I know... I guess I'll just grant you one wish!"
"You honestly don't want to know my wish!" I sinisterly grinned.
"Try me," Jirachi smugly replied.
I smiled, "I wish to purge this world of impurities! In other words, I want you to end it!"
"Is that really what you want?" Jirachi asked, not surprised by my wish.
Jirachi proceeded to show me visions of my experiences. I saw my life, abandoned as a Ralts. Then, I remembered my time as a Kirlia. And then my evolution to a Gardevoir. The last scene, however, greatly surprised me.
The last scene was a black and white scene of... myself... But the thing was... I was smiling. On my arm, I carried a young Ralts and a Kirlia was standing on the ground, smiling... Curiously peering at the Ralts I carried in my arms. The most strangest thing was that after gazing at the Ralts, I hugged a silhouette beside me, who hugged me back.
I opened my eyes, breathing heavily.
"What was that?" I asked Jirachi.
"Oh, the last one? I'm sorry, I can never see the last vision I give because it reflects what one secretly desires the most," Jirachi answered, "So, you sure with your wish?"
I thought for a while before answering. Who was that? I was happy? I could not comprehend what I was doing anymore.
"N-no," I replied unsurely.
"I knew it... There's something else that I could sense in you... You DO have a heart, you just don't believe it yourself," Jirachi calmly stated.
Could everything that I had been doing all this time... Could they not have been to achieve my desires? I knew I wanted revenge on the world's inequality... But I wasn't sure now if I really desired that.
"Jirachi," I answered, knowing that my only chance to achieve the goal of dealing out punishment to the world could possibly be lost, "I've made my choice."
"What is it?" Jirachi asked.
"I..." I hesitated, "I wish to know what is it I really want. I really want to know if the path that I had chosen... If it was something that I'd never desired from the start."
"Okay then," Jirachi answered as he closed his eyes. The three plaster-like things on his head began to glow.
His expressionless face soon changed into a mischievous smile as he opened his eyes.
"I see... That's quite a beautiful and sincere thing that you desire there," Jirachi smiled, giggling to himself.
"Well, are you going to tell me or what?" I asked.
"This is all I can show you," Jirachi told me as he pointed to my chest.
I looked down on my chest and touched it, feeling my heart respond to what Jirachi had said. Could the thing that I had desired be that? No! It can't be!
"What?" I gasped.
"Do you really want me to spell it out for you? Let your emotions out! And your path will become clear to you!" Jirachi scolded.
I looked down... Was I really following my dreams when I set out to get revenge on the world?
"Rose, I know you're confused... But I can see that your destiny is tied to your desires, only if you choose to follow your heart," Jirachi told me.
"Follow my heart?" I asked.
"Yes, do what you think is right... And the path will unveil itself to you... That vision I gave you is just a hazy manifestation of your dream... You'll need to see it with both your eyes to realize what you want," Jirachi explained.
I sighed... Maybe it was gonna take some time for me to realize.
"Thanks then, I guess I'll be going now..." I answered.
"Oh," Jirachi mischievously grinned, "You better! There's a whole mob of angry villagers heading this way now!"
"What? Y-you!" I angrily yelled, "Why didn't you tell me sooner..?"
"Hey! I can't see visions that quickly..." Jirachi shot back as I ran away.
"Remember, follow your heart!" I heard him say as his voice faded as I distanced myself running.
I would soon find out that what Jirachi had said was true. It would all start with a very important event in my life... It would start with my capture... Yes, my capture... I find myself grateful to be arrested... Grateful because it would finally make me aware of the thing that I desired was right in front of me all along!
