Chapter Nine

I see You

The little Pocket Monster was sitting outside alone; the costume that his friend made many years ago was raggedy, he was in the need of a new one but he was happy to be alone in the abandoned supermarket that was in the ruins of Wailua.

He arrived there almost 20 years later, he was trying to find solace on the world that was ravaged by the war, he wasn't harboring any hate anymore towards Pikachu or humanity, he just wanted to be at peace. What he didn't knew it was that he was being followed by a young girl who had her hair dyed purple, she was curious as she never saw a Monster like that before.

He tried to ignore her, but he noticed that she found him hiding there in the supermarket and she wasn't scared of him. He wanted to go close but he was scared that he could kill her just by his pressure or her trying to peak under the blankets.

She was quite small, probably not as tall as a 10-year-old, she was also wearing a rag instead of a dress; he noticed that she was also homeless as him and she probably was mostly trying to find food on the desolated area, but he wasn't sure. He thought to maybe kill her if she became a problem.

The little girl was happy to see the supermarket, she hasn't eaten anything for at least a week and reaching that point of the island was a bliss for her. He on the other hand wasn't too happy as he was feeling threaten by an intruder.

When she entered the supermarket, she saw a lot of canned food and drinking water, she was extremely happy and went running to drink something, but days without proper eating she ended up going to the restroom with some minor diarrhea.

He was observing her from the distance, it was the moment when she left the restroom that he decided to spook her. He knew his body below the decoy would be too much too handle, and she probably would run away or die in the process. He crawled in between the small spaces of the shelves, until he was close enough.

"Do you see me?!" He screamed.

"Of course, I do friend, I see the harbingers of dead and you are one of them"

"You, see me!"

She stood up from the floor and went close to him with a smile.

"Friend, I do not fear dead as I saw it, and I embrace it"

Mimikyu was completely stunned because he never met anyone who wasn't scared of him, not even that little kid. He pulled his claws below his decoy, he wanted to kill her, he had that urge but as soon he was getting close she stood up from eating and went directly to him.

"My name is Acerola, I became a Trial Captain not long ago, and I been looking for a friend who will help me"

"Friend?"

"A friend like you, who will help the trial goers to become stronger, you see there aren't any ghost totem Pocket Monsters, I want to bring desolation in their hearts so they can get stronger"
