The journey
By Belletiger
Chapter 3- Loss

It has been 3 months since Blue met his new friends Sora the mamepato and Gary the Kojofu. Blue likes Sora; beside she being very kind, she also likes to share her barriers with them. Gary was also cool, as long he was not challenging him all day. Really, another day they had a brawling contest which they had their mothers to interfere and grounded them for accidentally destroying Ishizumai's house.

In the next morning, Blue and Gary used some vines and twigs to make a rod to fishing some food while Sora was training with her parents to fly better and to be prepared for the great immigration since the winter was almost coming and the leaves of the threes are already falling and having a brownish color, substituting the green color.

Blue yawed. It was not of the boredom from the finishing, a couple of days ago he was having odd dreams, he could hear voices but he could not see who belonged to those voices but somehow he was familiar to them. The only ones who knew about his dreams were Sora and Gary. Blue didn't tell his dreams to his mother because he didn't want to worry her.

"Still having those dreams?" Gary asked to his friend.

"yeah…." Blue yawed "I dunno why I keep those weird dreams. I heard voices but I can't see who those voices belong to."'

"Why don't you see Flora? She might help you with those dreams." Gary said to his rival.

"The dream eater? Nah, no thanks. I don't want she telling to my mother or someone else."

Flora was a munna that lives at the Lost forest. She likes to help pokemon who have sleeping problems, especially with nightmares. But Blue's case is not really nightmares. The blue dog pokemon decided to change the subject.

"So, what are you going to do for the winter, Gary?" Blue asked " This is will be our first winter and I know Sora will be very fair away with her parents and the other bird pokemon from the forest. We won't see her until the spring."

"Dude, I will not see you either until the spring." Gary said as Blue blinked confused " My mother and I will hibernate and we will only wake up when the springs comes out. "

"Wait! Are you telling me I will be alone for all winter?" Blue was totally shocked. How come Gary only tells him now?

"Sorry Blue," Gary said with an apologize look "But in the winter it will be only you and your mother."

Blue sighted, he can't believe he will be alone in his first winter. Then he and Gary pulled their road at same time, only to find out they had just fished a pair of old boots.

Some weeks later, the snow already had fall, covering Lost forest in white. Sora and her group already left to sinnoh to pass the winter there while Gary and his mother ready fell asleep in heir den. Zoroark used her mane to keep Blue warm. Like every winter, finding food was hard and Zoroark had to look all forest some frozen berries and some pokemon to hunt to feed themselves. Zoroark and Blue were eating a mirihog that Zoroark hunted. Then, Zoroark felt a presence, they were not alone.

"Momma?" Blue noticed his mother odd behavior.

Zoroark had no time as she took her pup in her arms and jumped away as darts hit the ground where they were a second ago. Zoroark growled as two human ; a male and a female wearing an odd uniform.

"So the rumors were really right." the male said, "there's a really zoroark with a riolu"

"You can have zoroark, I will have that riolu."

Zoroark growled as she run off with Blue in her wamrs. The dark fox pokemon could hear the howlings of a pack of murando. This was real bad; while she could fool the humans with her illusions, she can't fool a pack of murando because they can still smell her scent. Zoroark found a hole in a top of a tree, most likely made by a bird pokemon. She climbed the tree and she noticed no one was inside of the hole. She sighted in relief; it was one of the few times that Zorark was thankful for the birds immigrate to Sinnoh for winter. The hollow was big enough to Blue to be hidden.

"Blue, stay here." Zoroark said as she putted Blue inside of the hole.

"But Momma, what about you?" Blue asked, worried about his mother safety.

"Don't worry about me, Blue." Zoroark said softly "please, stay quiet and do not get out for any reason until I return."

"But momma…" stared Blue as Zoroark softly petted his head.

"I'm sorry, Blue…"

Blue's eyes widen horrified when he remembered the last dream he had. The dream had a lot of blood and he could see a bloody hand petting a strange yellow mouse with red checks, saying almost the same thing that his mother just said. Before Blue could say anything else, Zoroark hits his head, making him falling unconscious.

Blue groaned in pain as he rubbed his head, right in the spot where his mother had hit him. He tried to remember why his mother had hit him. He gasped in horror when he remembered the human and the pack of murando following them,

"Momma!"

Blue quickly got out from the hole. He forgot he was in the top of a tree, for walking so fast he slipped and fell in the ground. Luckily the snow had softened his fall. But that didn't matter for Blue now. His main concern was his mother. He stared to look for his mother, calling for her several times around the forest but without any success.

But he didn't give up, even with the snow already starting falling. He was freezing, scared and alone. He was sobbing and asking where his mother was. Then, he gasped in surprised when he saw a big figure before him. It was stag-like quadruped Pokémon, aqua-blue in coloration. Its yellow horns somewhat resemble thunderbolts. Its snout is a little lighter blue than its fur. Blue recognized the pokemon before him, it was Cobalon; one of the legendary fighting pokemon. He was just like how his mother had described him. But what he was doing there?

"You mother can't be with you anymore." The legendary pokemon said.

Blue eyes widen in horror. No, that can't be true, his mother couldn't be gone. He fell in his kneed as he stared to sob. He was now alone without his mother.

"You mother asked me to take care of you if something happens to her." Colabon said to the small pokemon.

Blue didn't look like he heard the pokemon. Colabon cant blame him; losing his mother in such young age was very hard.

"Come young one. I will take you to your new home."

Blue didn't say anything, only nodded to the legendary pokemon as he started to follow him. Blue looked behind for a last time his home forest, it would take a while until would be able to return. Blue gritted his teeth; he would never forgive the human for taking his mother away from him.
