A young 14 years old girl was groaning as she was checking her map, looking for a way out of the forest. She was there for about 3 dammed days! She wanted to challenge the gym leader of Sannyou City before her childhood friends Bel and Cheren do it.

"Oshawott?"

A white blue otter creature was on the girl's shoulder, looking at the map on the girl's hand.

"I know, Oshawott. We're been here in this forest for 3 days. I guess I can't read maps well as I thought. We might ask for directions."

The girl laughed very embarrassed as her starter pokemon just dropped her head in shame. Really, sometimes her trainer can be hopeless. She still wondered how she ended up with a trainer with a bad sense of direction.

"Are you two lost?"

The girl and the pokemon yelped as they quickly turned around. They saw a young boy, almost in the same as the girl. He had a black hair tied in a tiny ponytail, he was wearing a blue jacket, light yellow shirt , blue pants and black boots. But what did caught the girl's attention on this boy was he had red eyes.

"Don't scare us like this! You almost gave us a heart attack!" the girl shouted at the boy.

"Osha osha!" Oshawott snapped along with her trainer

The boy just chucked as he puts his hand in a defensive sign to the angry girl and her pokemon. Then, their stomachs growled. The girl's check become red as she scratched the back in her head very embarrassed.

The girl was cooking something while Oshawott was eating some pokemon food. The boy was sitting in a big rock near a river, in a meditation pose. The girl looked at her pokemon before turning off the fire.

"Oshawott, can you call the boy for me, please? The food is ready." The girl said, smiling to her pokemon.

Oshawott smiled as she nodded to her trainer. She went to the river to call out for the boy. Then the pokemon blinked confused. While she could see it was a human boy sitting on the rock, but the reflection in the water was showing something else. Before Oshawott could do anything, the boy looked at the pokemon , smiling as he made a sign to be quiet. The boy went to the table where the girl was serving their food.

"Ah, by the way, I never told you my name. My name is Clara White." The girl said, introducing herself to the boy. "What yours?"

"My name is Blue." Said the boy smiling.

After their meal, Blue was showing to Clara the way to the of Sannyou City. Clara noticed her pokemon's behavior was a little odd. She wondered what happened to her pokemon to act like this. The trio finally got out of the forest as they could see of Sannyou City at the horizon. The girl never was so happy to see the sight of the city. The girl and her oshawott ran towards to the city but they noticed Blue was not following them.

"Blue? You will not coming?" Clara asked.

"No."Blue said as she shocked his head. "I have other stuff to do. I may see you around."

With this, Blue turned around and went to the other direction. Clara and her pokemon blinked confused before they went to their way to Sannyou City. Oshawott looked at the boy for a last time before they walked off to their own ways. She knew Blue is not what he seems.

At pokemon center, Clara had met her friend Bel in there. Bel was very eager when Clara mentioned about a mysterious boy who helped her in the forest. Like any girl, Bel soon asked to her friend if the mysterious boy was a cutie. While their trainers were talking, Oshawott and Tepig were eating their pokemon food while they were talking about the mysterious boy at the forest.

"(Wait! Are you saying that boy is not a human?)" Tepig asked to Oshawott, surprised.

The sea otter pokemon nodded to him.

"(Yeah. I could see he was a human boy but his reflection….. it showed something different.)"

Tepid thought for a moment; in the way Oshawott was describing the boy and the odd reflection, the fire pig pokemon deduced that what Oshawott saw was a zoroark in disguise. Oshawott blinked as Tepig explained that Zoroarks are masters of illusion and they can easily fool human and pokemon alike. Oshawott nodded ; what Tepig makes absolute sense , the boy might be a zoroark, but, she was sure the relection showed a blue pokemon. Zoroak was a black pokemon. Before Oshawott could say something else, they heard Clara yelped.

"No way! You can't force me into this!" Clara said as she crossed her arms to Bel.

"Please Clara! You're the only one I can trust into this!"Bel said to Clara

"When I say no, it's no!"

"I hate you Bel." Clara muttered darkly to her childhood friend

Clara wondered how Bel's puppy's eyes can convince her to do anything that Bel wants. Luckily their pokemon are inside of their own pokeball. They were right now at the abandoned Site of Dreams facility. They heard about there was a munna and Bel wanted to capture it. Of course, she din't wanted to the facility by herself and asking Clara to come along with her.

"Come back you stupid thing!"

The girls startled as they heard an angry male voice. They went to where the voice came from. They gasped when they saw two men wearing a white and blue oufit with a hood, something similar to the mediaval knights used to wear. They could see a they trying to caputure a wounded and terrified little munna. Clara couldn't stand to see the poor thing being scared and she knew those people are no good.

"Hey! Leave this munna alone!" shouted Clara, coming out from the hiding place.

The two men turned around and they saw Clara glaring at them. They smirked, they knew that girl was just a rookie trainer and dealing with her would be easy. Bel went to Clara's side to help her to deal with those meanings. Before they could get their pokemon out of their pokeballs, they heard a strange noise as everything went dark. They didn't know what was happening in there. Suddenly before them showed up a giant pale-green, snake-like Pokémon. Clara recognized the pokemon right away; it was a Jalorda the final evolved form of Snivy. Jalorda hissed angry at the humans. The giant Jalorda put enough force to tacked the two evil men straight upward. The evil men screams echoed out as he was sent flying straight into the skies as they disappeared through the stratosphere, a star twinkled at the area they vanished. Jarlorda glared at Clara and Bel and hissed angrily at them. What the girls do? They simplify fainted.

"Mun munna ? "

Clara groaned as she saw Munna was floating beside her. She quickly got up as she looked around for any sign of those evil man or that giant jarloda either. She noticed she was in a room of the pokemon center with Bel lying.

"Ah, you're awake."

Clara saw Nurse Joy coming in the room. Joy explained that she found them outside of the pokemon center with Munna. Clara noticed that Munna's wound were healed as Joy said as soon Munna was healed, she never left her side. Clara was surprised that Munna leber left her side as she hugged the small psych pokeon.

"you wanna come with me, Munna?"

"Munna munna!"said the small pokemon happily.

Clara smiled as she took her pokeball and puts Munna inside of it. She was happy that Munna was in her team, but something was bothering her; if that giant Jalorda was real or not.

At the Site of Dreams facility a musharna was looking at the direction of the city. She was happy that her child was ok and she found a wonderful human to be her trainer.

"I still don't know why you let her go with that human, Flora." A voice said behind of musharna. "I thought you just wanted let your child go to the human nurse for healing and not following that human girl."

"(That was her wish, and I will respect her decision. Beside you said her aura was not evil)" Musharna said she turned around. "( you've changed since the last time.)"

Before her there was a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon. Its forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there's a third spike on its chest. The creature also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. Also, the pokemon stands on the balls of its feet, rather than on its entire foot. The pokemon was lucario the aura pokemon.

"It's been 4 seasons. Its natural I evolve after all this time, Flora." The lucario said to musharna.

"(That's not what I mean, Blue. Your personality also has changed.)"

Flora was a Munna was she met Blue when he was a little riolu at Lost Forest. After Blue was living with the legendary pokemon Colabon, she went to different ways. She evolved to Musharna and she met another male of her kind and they had an offspring.

"( I didn't know you could also use illusions like Zoroak did, Blue. You really are your mother's child.)"

Blue smirked as he said that creating illusions are not hard. He figured out a way to use to use his aura to create Illusions just like her mother did. But his illusions are not as perfect as his mother since he can't fool mirrors or any reflecting surface that show his true form.

"After learning illusion technique, I learned how to speak human speech and then that way…" then Blue's started to change as he become the same human boy that helped Clara and her Oshawott at the forest. "…I can walk among with humans without worrying to be caught since my kind is extremely rare here."

"(Do you still have those dreams, Blue?)" Musharna asked to Blue

Blue become quiet. His strange dreams got worse after he started to live with Colabon. His dreams now were showing human people and pokemon that he had never seen before. And for some reason he kept dreaming about this small yellow creature most of the time.

"Yes, but it's not because of them I am here. " Blue said, smiling to the murshana. "I just need a little favor from you."

"(Oh, and what would that be?)"

"Can you teleport me back to Lost Forest? I want see my friends there."

To be continue.
