"I heard there is some awesome treasure here!"
Two young boys walked down the snowy path. One of them had blonde yellow hair as the other had green, a neon green that was almost blinding. They were the basic naughty boys, just out for adventures and nothing much else. "Come on come on! Hurry up, someone else might snatch it!"
His blonde friend panted and tried to catch up with him. As the two boys ran, the one with the green hair, smirked deviously, he wore a light blue jacket and black pants with snow boots, his blonde friend wore a pale pink overcoat with khaki pants. As the two run, somewhere hidden in the trees was two shadows.
["How indecent."]
["Ahah, I hear ya."]
Sheer the Skarmory, The Sky Guardian of the White Forest.
Snowin the Snorlax, The King of the White Forest.
["I assume you boys can handle this?"]
["We rather fish out the lurkers."]
Snowflake the Glaceon, The Roaming Guardian of the White Forest.
Lace the Froslass, The Queen of the White Forest.
["I should alert the Princess…"]
["Oh you don't have too, I'm sure they aren't a problem~"]
Glacier the Lapras, The Distance Watcher Guardian of the White Forest.
A Marill, The Princess' Personal Guardian of the White Forest.
This was their daily routine, watch for any trespassers and kick them out, sometimes they have fun and let them wander in the waste land, this is how they were normally split up, this is what they normally did. ["Hey Sheer."]
The Skarmory looked up at the Snorlax, he smirk as he saw the sly look on the bear's face. ["So we get to do that again huh~"] Skarmory nodded and flew up as Snorlax summoned water around his paw. After a moment, Snorlax bang his fist down, making the water shoot up and swirl around the two running boys. Skarmory shifted wings, making him sharply fly down, and used Blizzard.
The two boys screamed to suddenly see an ice wall be created. ["Trapped like mice~"] Skarmory hissed at them two, Snorlax started to come over, revealing himself to the shocked Trainers. The bird noticed one of them reaching for their pokeballs. ["Ah ah ah~"] with a swing of his wing, Air Cutter cracked the balls, making it impossible to open them.
"Stupid wild pokemons!"
The green haired male growled at the two. Snorlax walked over to them, lifting his paw. Skarmory chuckled, hoping closer mockingly. ["Can I take one for a ride?"]
Snorlax grinned. ["Need you ask?"]
Skarmory smirked and hopped up, taking the green haired male by the shoulders and lifting him up. "Uwaah! What are you doing!?" the blonde boy widen his eyes with shock. Though he had his own problems to deal with once the Snorlax pounded his fist against the ground, causing the fire blast to surround the blonde "AAAA!" he screamed and shut his eyes.
Skarmoy was having a field day with his victim. The green haired teen tried to get off, yet Skarmory didn't grant the wish. ["You indecent humans are not welcome!"] Snorlax grabbed the blonde boy, Skarmory swiftly added speed to his flight. The two boys screamed as they realized they were going to be tossed off the mountain. ["Filthy trespassers!"]
Once the two boys were tossed, Snorlax created an ice slope, leading to the lake below. What happens after wasn't their business. Snorlax chuckled and bump his fist against Skarmory. ["It's always fun with you around."] the big bear like pokemon laughed and kept walking back to the forest. Skarmory was a bit pride of the compliment and flew gently next to his best friend.
["Papa! Papa Papa! That was amazing!"] a smaller version of Snorlax dashed to his father. A Munchlax. Snorlax laughed and brought his son into a warm embrace. Skarmory could only awkwardly smile at the sight. He didn't understand the warm of a family or love for that matter. Though their years together, Skarmory was always close with Snowin. He was the only one who accepted him on the spot. ["I want to fight just like you papa!"]
Snowin smiled at his son. ["One day, with more training you'll get even stronger then me!"]
I highly doubt that. Skarmory kept the thought in his mind. Knowing the giant bear would pound on him for taking his son's hope away. ["You really think so papa?"]
["With more training, I'm sure of it."] Snowin resumed his walking, holding his son in his arms. It's funny how he says that as if he means it. Skarmory wasn't aware of the fact that his best friend really did mean it.
["Hey Sheer,"] Skarmory made a head gesture to show he was listening. ["When are you going to give me little nephews and nieces?"]
At this comment Sheer stumbled in the air and chocked on his breath. His steel armor felt more heated especially below his eyes. ["What?!"]
["Oh come on, under all that steel is a heart right?"] Snowin followed the trail that was left by the others. They were going to report to the Princess like always when chasing off another human who dose not belong here.
Sheer scoffed at this and didn't reply, hoping the topic would get buried in the silence. However it was only made worse. ["Is uncle Sheer and Auntie Snowflake going to give me a cousin yet?"]
The steel bird came to a sudden halt. ["PFT- WHAT?!"]
Snowin picked up his pace, leaving behind Sheer a few feets. ["Ah, he will soon once he recognizes his feelings. Until then shhh."]
Skarmory suddenly felt embarrassed, warmth awkwardly spreading throughout his body. ["WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING YOUR KID!?"] Sheer gritted his beak and catch up quickly, glaring at his friend. Snowin completely ditched his embarrassed and continued as if nothing happened. ["Tch."] Sheer was now irritated.
It was true, he and Snowflake were somewhat close. It was more of rivalry type of friendship.
["Mind you narrator. It's more of a blind love."] Snowin gave devious eyes towards the steel bird. ["Especially by this blind fool."]
["What?! What are you talking about and to who!?"]
["Nothing."]
Eventually the two made it to the Main Cave. Once they entered Snowin put his son down and told him to wait outside. Being young and not fully a Guardian, he wasn't allowed to go in the cave just yet. This however didn't stop the Princess from making trips just to see the young Munchlax. The two walked deep into the cave. When they saw Glacier standing guard they came to a stop. ["We came to report."]
The Lapras slide on the icy ground, getting in front of them. ["Did you rid them?"]
Skarmory was now on his feets, his claws scratching the ice. ["Who do you think we are? Of course we did."]
["Very good."] Lapras nodded to them and turned around. ["You two can leave now."]
Sheer and Snowin shared the same pissed and disappointed look. They only sighed and turned around. "Snowin." the two stopped from the familiar voice. When they turned around they saw the Princess covered in lace. Maril was at her feets, holding her legs. They both bowed in their own ways at the sight of the Princess. "Snowin. I have a favor to ask of you." her voice was kind and gentle.
Her hands was locked with each other, eyes closed and smiling. Snowin turned to Sheer. ["Watch over my son for the day."]
Sheer was sneakily as possible turned his eye with shocked eyes. ["What? Why me?"]
["Just do it!"] SNowin hissed and quickly walked away towards the Princess. Sheer groaned and face palm with his wing. He grumpily stormed out of the cave. When he was out, Snowflake and Berries, Snowin's son, were talking with each other. ["Oh?"] Snowflake got up from the ice as she was laying down.
Sheer remembered what the two were talking about before. Even if he did so called 'liked' Snowflake, it would be impossible for them to actually do anything. Being the blunt bird he was he decided to ask straight out. ["Do you think I like you?"]
Though his choice was words made it sound more of an insult. Being the male he was, he didn't notice it. Snowflake only stared at him. She wasn't sure how to take his question, offending or as a plain question. She scoffed at him and laughed, her little fangs showing off. ["Why don't you answer that yourself."] she turned around, her tail waving in the air sassily.
Berries giggled at the sight and waved Snowflake good bye. Skarmory groaned at the lack of answer and looked at the younger pokemon he was sent to watch over. ["Well, your dad is busy for the moment. So I'll have to wa-"]
["YAY! LET'S PLAY!"]
["Wha-HEY, GET BACK HERE!"] Sheer widen his eyes at how surprisingly fast the Munchlax was. He was already in the forest and heading somewhere. Skarmory sweat dropped and spread his wings to follow in after him. The Munchlax noticed the steel bird coming after him and giggled. Going through his fur, the Munchlax tossed up a tomato berry.
Unfortunately for Sheer, it landed right on his face. ["ACK, IT STINGS!"] he stopped his flying to try and shake off the spicy berry creeping inside his eyes. Snowflake was laying lazily on a tree nearby, watching the scene. She the Glaceon giggled at the sight. She quickly jumped to the next branch. ["Metal brain."]
Sheer growled and swiftly tried to catch up to the Munchlax. He was now directly above the youngling. He was about to dive and grab him, he hadn't noticed they were out of the forest already. The furry pokemon laughed and grabbed another berry from his fur. He tossed to towards Skarmory with all his power, jumping up for a better aim. ["ACK! WHY YOU INDECENT LITTLE THING!"]
The steel bird was tossed back a bit, he roughly landed on his claws. ["Damnit.."] he tried to regain balance, everything was happening much to fast. When he open his eyes he saw Berries failing to regain balance at the edge of the mountain. ["What the-"]
He couldn't finish his sentence. He felt the air being cut off from him. ["WAAH!"] Berries had fell over the high mountain. Snowflake gasp along with Sheer. They both dashed, Snowflake ran through the mountain, being a good distance from them. Sheer widen his eyes and opened his wings to fly down the mountain.
His best friend's son was falling and trying to reach out for something. Sheer closed his wings, giving him more speed to fly down. Snowflake made it to the open field, she quickly made her way to the edge of the mountain where Berries had fallen. The two were now at the mid point. Skarmory was close to getting him, he stretched out his wing for Berries to grab. The younger pokemon reached out, just before they can grasp each other. The mist had suddenly surrounded them.
All sight was lost of each other. ["NO! DAMNIT!"] however, for Snowflake she can clearly see where Berries was falling and see where Sheer was flying. There was about a six feet difference between them. What are you doing Sheer!?
The only thing one the steel bird's brain was to bring Berries back safe. He assumed he was heading in the right line of direction, flying down at his speed made it impossible for him to realize that he was getting farther from where Berries was falling. He only noticed until his wing roughly rammed into the rocky edges. ["AAARGH!"]
He was thrown off balance, his right wing burned and cracked, making him flip the air and fall as well. Damnit…! Open!
Sheer gritted his beak, the speed of his fall made it harder to open his broken wing. He faintly heard Berries scream, he knew they were dawning dangerously close to the ground. Snowin flashed by his mind. That was enough to give him the endurance he needed to open his wing. ["AARRGHH AAHH!"]
["SHEERRR!"] Hearing his pain of agony, Snowflake desperately called out for him. They were two far deep in the mist, she had lost sight of both of them now. ["SHEEERRRR!"]
["RRAAR!"] Sheer swiftly spread his wings, making him just barely stop himself from falling. His claws were now touching the ground, Berries was no where to be found. He felt relieved that now he can catch the young pokemon before his death fall. He looked up above him, expecting the Munchlax to be in sight.
CRACK!
The mist faded. After the loud sound of bones cracking. Skarmory widen his eyes and could no longer hear anything else. Snowflake flinched and turned her head to the side. Shutting his eyes and whimpered. Sheer didn't move an single centimeter. His steel armor suddenly felt cold. Lonely, hallow. He trembled, fear and the small blizzard getting to him. His beak let his shaky breaths escape.
He didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to think it was true. His body turned slower then Slowpoke's yawn. His pupils dilated, his eyes were ready to pop from their sockets. He saw a small lump- no. he saw several small lumps. Pieces of what used to be a Munchlax. The impact from the fall completely shattered Berries' bones. And dice up his body.
Blood was splatter everywhere. Berries' insides were now all over the icy floors. ["N…. Be… wha…"]
Thud.
This completely shattered Sheer whole. Not only was Snowflake was witness. But now that he looked straight, the Princess and Snowin were frozen in shock at the sight. What happened after that were just flashes in Sheer's mind. Snowin was on the ground, holding the bits of pieces reaming of his son. The Princess was frozen in shock. She was looking at her hands with fear. Snowflake had jumped down from the mountain and landed safely. Maril was looking away, trying to ignore the scene. The sight of the bloody mashed up pieces of the pokemon was horrifying. It was 'Indecent'.
Sheer felt nauseas, everything was happening so fast it was hard to process it all. His vision swayed, his body went lump. He recalled vomiting from the sight. The growing guilt. After that day, after he failed and practically murder his son. Snowin was replaced with Ursaring. Anytime Snowin and Sheer encounter, the giant pokemon would try to murder his ex-best friend. Sheer had became more cocky and cold towards others. Hiding his personality under a pile of Pride. And forever willowing in regret.
Sorry for the latenss and stuff, I was dong other things ^^;
