Chapter Thirteen
Acerola
She saw her parents been consumed by a ghost made of sand, the name of that monster was Sandygast and it was a fearful creature who could replicate the lifeforms that consumed and mimic the voices of the ones he killed. It became a moment in her youth that made her fear the ocean but let her to a long lifetime fascination with the dead.
The invasion on what was known as Hawaii was quicker than any other place, it took less than three days to destroy the archipelago and to decimate the community from the thousands to the hundreds. She saw the destruction and she fall in love with the departed, she felt comfort in the blood of the people who died in front of her, the people who were killed by the Tapus.
The powerful deities of the Pokémon that once they aligned with the humans in search of refuge on the island but at the end, they were manipulated from the dead army of Mewtwo. The end of the world was just gorgeous to not admire it, to see beauty in the destruction of the land while walking on a path full of dead.
She reached the Ruins of the Abundance, where she smelled the dead once more, Tapu Bulu was covered in blood; she wasn't even in fear, she was more curious than anything else, she wanted to know what happened? Why he suddenly decided to kill everyone at Tapu Village and left her as the only survivor?
She walked slowly, as the Tapu lay on his altar, as she was near she could hear the Tapu's breathing, it was heavy, it was powerful, a monster that was alive. Bulu was in a trance, he didn't know what happened, but she knew, she wanted to go there to for answers but it was her who would answer his questions.
"I forgive you"
Grunts.
"Why do you kill everyone, except me?"
Grunts and heavy breathing.
"I know you have the answer"
The Tapu stood up and levitated to Acerola, he was moving slowly as he was in pain, then he put his left hoof on her head.
She saw what happened, she started to cry, she realized that Bulu had no control over his actions same as the other Tapus, they just were puppets of that strange Pokemon who looked human but could control them with a simple thought. She was amazed by such much power as she saw the Tapus as the strongest beings of the region.
"I understand, it just happened" she said that as she hugged Tapu Bulu.
