Selia looked around the room. It was in near darkness, with only faint amounts of moonlight keeping her from being completely blind. What she could see of the room was what any stereotypical haunted house would seem like. The few pieces of the furniture were covered in a dusty sheets. The walls were chipped and peeling. There were lack of signs of any insects living there, not even a spider web.
Selia felt a chill run down her back. It felt like eyes were glaring at her all around. She tried to ask who is there but only managed to choke out a pathetic squeal. She felt hazy as she left the living room. The air felt heavy and was pungent with the smell of smoke. She fell on her hands and knees and took long deep breaths. She felt a panic wash over her causing her body to stiffen and shudder. With each breath she took the air felt more vile and toxic as it entered her lungs. Her head was throbbing as she fruitlessly held it to ease the pain. It felt like hours before all the pain stopped and she slowly stood back up and coughed. After taking a rest she continued through the house where she came across a hallway. The hallway had a Chandure chandelier and five doors. Dust was visible in the air and somehow made it even more ominous. She walked down the hall and opened the first door to her left. Inside was just a simple bathroom. She walked in and inspected it. There was nothing odd about it in the slightest. She walked back into the hallway and shut the door behind her. Selia then opened the door across from the bathroom. The room was a simple guest bedroom with a few trinkets. The furniture of course had sheets over them. She inspected it for twelve minutes and found nothing of interest.
Selia exited the guest bedroom and made her way to the next door. She opened the door to find an empty room. She shut the door and went to a door next to the empty room and opened it. It was empty except for a box in the corner. She walked slowly to the box and bent on her knee. She looked it over to see it was a plain wood box with two black spirals on each side. She went to open it but right when she touched it everything around her distorted. She quickly sprang up then everything came into focus. It was wind that she noticed first. Cold wind that caused her to hug herself for warmth. The next thing she noticed was that the world around her had a blue tint and was barren. It was all rocky and empty. She turned around and was met with a cliffside. She screamed quickly and took a step back. If she had been any more careless she would've fallen. She peeked over the edge. Down she saw jagged rocks and blue flames licking the bottom of the cliff. She wanted to get away from there but for some reason the cliff seemed welcoming and familiar. She started to move closer to it. Her body acting on its own. She was nearing the far edge of the cliff side, the highest part. She tried pulling back but her body wouldn't let her. She was closer and closer and closer until she screamed as loud as she could just an inch from the edge. She stopped walking. Selia had shut her eyes but now opened them. She was back in the empty room.
She shook her head and then exited. Taking deep breaths to calm down. She didn't know whether to simply leave or continue. She sighed. Might as well continue. Selia slowly and carefully walked to the final room. Her hand grasped the knob and turned it quickly opening the door into the room. Inside Rel was sitting in the middle of the room,"Hiya Selia!"
Selia walked to himcautiously. Studying every faint breath and slight move he made. Rel gestured for her to sit infront of him. She hesitated for a while until Rel managed to coax her to sit down. Rel created two cups and a teapot from nowhere and poured them both some tea.
"Who are you." Selia said with some hostility in her voice.
"What ever do ya mean Selia?" Rel said innocently as he took a swig of his tea.
Selia glared at him,"You know what I mean! A boy doesn't just die and come back years later expecting a warm welcome! How do you even know me anyways?"
Rel smiled and popped his back,"We'veknown eachother a while, sadly I seem to be the only one to remember."
"What are you talking about!I've never even heard of you until now!" Seila yelled.
"I'm a Dark and Ice type trainer, I have beaten the Unova, Hoenn, and Kalos leagues, and I'm dead." Rel said as he set his cup down.
"What?" Selia just stared at Rel in slight yet understandable suspicion.
"Got killed by a pissed off Charizard went straight to the afterlife. That is where I found you." Rel said ans he poured himself another glass.
"Damn it just say the truth already!"
"What? It's true. You killed yourself dear. Jumped down into the watery depths straight off a cliff." Rel took a drink of his tea as his sneasal rubbed against his arm."You were quite disturbed. Too be fair though you had just died. So you were reasonably disturbed, but more then most their."
"I don't believe you." Selia said harshly.
"Understandable. I guess those nightmares you have are nothing either." Rel poked her nose.
"How do you know ab-" Rel cut her off.
"They want you back. You were mistakenly reincarnated. They want you to do it again."
"Do what again!"
"What else?" Rel made a person on his hand using his fingers and made it junp off."Same way you got there in the first place."
Selia looked down,"Hey ya survived this long haven't you? I'd call that an accomplishment in its-"
"Shut up!" Selia shouted causing R to fall silent."I don't want tp die! I love my life! I love my friends! I'm about to go and achieve my dream of becoming a Pokemon Master! There's no way in he I'll just giveit all up! Not now!."
"They'll follow you." Rel stated.
"Let them I don't care!" Selia retorted.
Rel sighed,"Go this adventure then, I just came to warn you. And see her again, but she doesn't like me."
"What will you do then?" Selia asked taking a sip of her tea for the first time.
"Train, stuff, train some more. Look after the town while you're off."
"Wait you're alive?"
"Reincarnated." Rel held up a finger.
"Oh." Selia sighed and stood up while dusting herself off."Tomorrow I'm leaving for the next town over. I'll come say goodbye if you want."
Rel shook his head,"Nah. This'll do."
Selia left the house leaving Rel to his thoughts. Rel leaned back on the ground and stretched out his body. He was wondering on if he should start making predictions on how long she'll last with death itself after her. Rel shook his head. That's a bit wrong to go betting on something like that. Rel cleaned the space and recalled Sneasal before drifting off into a blissful sleep.
Meanwhile Selia had snuck into her room and was sprawled out on her bed whilst staring at her ceiling. Remembering everything that had just happened earlier. Inside she wished she would've pushed him to tell her more, but at the same time she didn't want to know. It was something that made her feel intrigue while at the same time she felt dread. Images of a cliff and terrible monsters had been flooding her mind lately. Selia sighed and pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
