Sinar's past [1/2]

(many) Years ago ( before Chapter 1 )

It was night, I was on the steep side of the hill in the middle of a snowstorm, snow around me was lit up in red by serenely flowing narrow streams of lava. The only sound here were my footsteps in the ankle deep snow, the whizz of the wind and snowflakes falling to the hot red streams. Even as a glaceon this weather wasn't comfortable for me, the heat emitted by the lava was making me feel fatigued and weak, I felt as if it was trying to melt me even if as ice-type I wasn't made of ice.

I was trying to keep my distance from them but that wasn't possible all the time. I was heading to the east, or I thought I was, I couldn't see through the flying snow around me. My path was blocked by one of the hot streams, I sped up and jumped across it. For a second I thought that I was burned because of heat close to the stream but I landed safely and laid in the snow in the attempt to cool down the temperature of my body.

Fire, such a useless and annoying thing.

When I felt better I got up, I felt that snowflakes become bigger hitting me from the left. I needed to hide or I would be buried under the snow. Intense snowfall extinguished the lava's heat and made it darker and more consistent, better for me but I quickly found myself stuck in the deep snow with only my head above. It was far above zero so snow wasn't sticky and I could plow onward but I didn't see where I was going.

I had been keeping my mouth open to breathe, but now I needed to close it so that I didn't eat the snow. Then I stepped on something hot, probably frozen stream of lava. I jumped backwards in pain but I slipped on my back-legs by the white ground and I toppled to the side. I felt that I was slipping down of the mountain side, I turned my stomach to the cliff and revealed my claws in the attempt to stop myself.

But claws, very useful in gripping ice, were useless in loose snow and I only dangerously sped up going down. There was nothing stable to catch. Then I lost ground under me and now I was quickly falling down with the cloud of snow around me. I hit something hard and bumped from it only to hit another thing again and again until I met, even if snow cushioned some of my speed, hard but stable ground dipping in the snow again. When I was sure that for now, I was safe, I tried to stand up but my body answered with pain, which didn't allow me to move.

Maybe it's not that bad being under the pile of snow.

Anyway, I didn't even feel the coldness so I could think about it as a blanket for a while. Through the thick snow surface, I could hear rhythmic pitapat of the blizzard.

What is wrong with the weather?

First, an inactive volcano decided to explode, covering the sky in black fumes and destroying the valley from which I was running. And now it was snowing more intense than in last winter even though it was late summer.

Time seemed to go unnaturally slow while I rested my head on my fore-paws covered in snow. But I needed to wait for the pain to fade away so I waited.

I tried to move again, I still felt some pain but that wasn't that bad, I started to dig up myself from the snow. Soon I was standing next to the hole in which I was second ago. I couldn't see the stars but it stopped snowing. I looked around, I was at the foot of the mountain, everything was covered in white but judging from the shape of terrain I was on the opposite side of the mountain that I planned to be.

I saw that the side of the hill was too steep to climb, I needed to go around. Remembering that there was a way through the mountain on the south which I could use as a shortcut, I decided to go in that direction.

Walking in fresh snow wasn't an easy thing, I was sinking in it. Halfway along the shortcut, I found a frozen river which flowed down the mountain and towards the valley. Walking on the ice only slightly covered by snow was much easier. Standing on the river I felt a weak vibration, that meant that under the ice, the river was still flowing. Going in the opposite to river's flow direction I started going around the mountain.

The shortcut was a narrow gully with high walls of snow and ice upon both sides. I didn't like how it looked, it seemed that no one was around. But ice type pokemon are usually very good at hiding in the snow because some of them just looked like part of an environment, and were known for a very cold temperament.

But I didn't come here to run away at the sight of the path. I made a few steps forward and entered the canyon, stopping for a while to carefully listen to my surroundings.

But nothing happened so, now more confident, I walked along the path. Soon walls and ground became smooth and clear ice in which I could see my reflection. I noticed that I had some marks in a darker blue than the rest of my body, these were my places where my ability was still working trying to heal my bruises from my fall, but the rest of my appearance was as normal as glaceon could be. Only my eyes were a little different from typical dark blue colour but that wasn't that noticeable

Then I noticed that the part of the wall was made of much less glassy ice and had three deep cracks next to each other. I got closer to get a better look. It was cold, like ice, but crack had something dark inside. I noticed something weird on the wall next to the crack.

The wall seemed to open its eyes and was staring at me and I was staring at them. I blinked and blinked again but I still could see the pair of big yellow eyes on the wall.

What the f...

I didn't end my thought when wall exhaled a strange, deep and long sound and started to stand up, shaking the ground and breaking ice close to it. I retreated a few steps back, no longer sure what I was looking at.

The wall rose and fell to the side but rose again and this time on four cylindrical legs, now I could see triangle head with the same yellow eyes on which I saw on the wall. The creature was in shape of unsculpted ice-cube and was so damn huge. I felt that I'm losing my ground with every its step.

Then I remind how I heard about living giant ice stones which lived in cold places and mountains, namely: avalugg. Was it possible that I found something that rare?

"Who is there?!" its voice was harsh, sinister but resounding, like if he was talking from underground. From its voice, I could judge that creature wasn't very enlightened. It seemed that his brain froze because of all this ice around. "Show yourself!"

I wasn't sure what should I do, I was standing before it, astonished by its size. If I start to run and it decides to chase me, we could bring earthquake. But could something like that run?

"Oh! Here you are!" screamed the avalugg when he finally looked down, straight at me. "What are you doing here, snowflake!?" the mountain of ice screamed at me and because of his breath, I took one more step back.

"Um, I passing through... here," I made move with my paw as path was leading before avalugg destroyed part of this when he tried to stand up "Ice-cube," I added, I wasn't sure if it was some avalugg's slang to name a stranger by something connected to the cold and not even care.

I didn't want to make him upset just because of my bad behaviour. But I immediately didn't like him when I heard the name: snowflake. Which glaceon would have a name like that? It also so connected to the type which seemed to be weird to have a name connected to type.

"Then why you named me Snowid?" asked the glaceon part of me.

"Shhh, you know that don't mean 'snow'." I hissed.

"To who you are talking!?" screamed the avalugg noticing my short conversation with myself.

"To no one, I just..."

"Liar! I heard! How many of you are here!?" It was becoming dangerous for me, what could I do versus walking ice.

"No! It's only me, me and no more." I tried to calm him.

"Only you and you?" said avalugg not that sure anymore but quickly added "Haa! That means that there is two of you! Where is the second one!?" Screamed the avalugg again stepping one step forward making me sat down but I quickly stood up.

I mentally face-pawed when I heard his unlogical train of thought. I couldn't just ask Snowid to leave me for a second and stood next to me.

"Psst, I'm not real," Snowid reminds me.

"Shut up, I know that." But honestly, I forgot about it again.

"No one of you will pass through here!" said avalugg making another step forward, I made five backwards to keep distance. "And because you have lied no one will leave!" Now it was really dangerous for me, the avalugg was making step after step, visibly speeding up, and I was making steps backwards until I couldn't make it any faster and I turned to run.

"Come back here! Fight!" screamed the monster behind me. Why didn't anyone say to me that this thing can move so quickly? He was looking as if he was just walking but his one step was like ten mines so he easily kept behind me, shakes of the ground made it hard to keep balance and also making new cracks in the ice.

Beautiful day, firstly at morning Moltres, hit like a meteor in volcano making it eruption and now I was chasing by giant incredible stupid ice-cube. Could it get any worse?

I saw the entrance which I earlier used but it wasn't one. At the entrance was a second avalugg, facing opposite to my direction. I looked behind, the first avalugg was still chasing me and was closer and closer with every second. I didn't want to become wet blob so I decided to risk and I hid claws which were the only thing which was keeping me from sliding. I immediately lay flat on my stomach and hid under the legs of the second avalugg. Lying I saw the two colossi collide with each other falling to the ground shaking it.

"Bab!" screamed standing up this one who was chasing me, "You blocked my path!"

"Noo!" answered him, this one named Bab. "You ran into my standing place!" Also standing up and facing nameless avalugg.

"I was chasing a pack of eeveelutions and you helped them escape!" said angrily avalugg named by me 'ice-cube', and used small blizzard on Bab's face.

"You couldn't chase them because no one entered here, I'm guarding the entrance," answered with stronger blizzard Bab.

No wasting any more time or wondering how I didn't notice Bab at first place I snuck around them and ran through the path which was now full of holes made by heavy legs of avalugg.

While I was running I heard loud thuds and cracks, the avaluggs probably went into a riot. That should give me some time to pass their territory. When I was passing the place where the wall stopped be a wall, I noticed that now it was the entrance to a large icy clearing where were running or lying small round creature also made of ice. I didn't stop to look more carefully but then ice under me cracked open and I only let a sigh when I started falling down second time today.

How unlucky am I today?

Luckily it wasn't that high like earlier, unluckily I landed straight on my face. "MMM!" I quashed scream of pain in my mouth and grit my teeth, I was in a cave made of ice, a loud noise could make it collapse. I rubbed my nose which started to be covered by dark fumes.

What would I do without this ability?

"You would have probably died long ago," answered me Kilian the umbreon.

"Probably," I agreed, looking around the irregular floor and curved walls, which met at the ceiling to become a roof full of sharp spikes, everything made from rock solid ice. Well, if here could live creatures made of ice then it should be very cold. In the form of glaceon it was hard to say how cold it actually was. It was just 'fine' until it was below zero.

I knew that glaceons could live in hottest temperature but I didn't know how they feel because then I was losing this form.

I noticed four exits from the cave.

Great, this is some fucking labyrinth!

Every exit looked similar: a low tunnel with a blind corner. I walked to one of it and sniffed. The air wasn't fresh but it didn't stink. I tested every other exit but everywhere I could smell the same mouldy air. This could mean that there is no end to these tunnels, and I am very far from the real exit.

I looked up at the hole through which I fell. I could even try climbing through it if I wasn't be a quadruped. I chose the tunnel at the left for absolutely no reason. The tunnel turned left and got tighter but there was still some space between me and both walls. As I was walking on the irregular ground, which required some agility to step on, I started wondering what was exactly happening around.

First, some firebird which others called Moltres hit in the mountain which unfortunately appeared to be long-inactive volcano making it erupt, burning the great valley of greenery forcing me to escape to the mountains where I met mighty blizzard and a giant evil ice-cube.

Then suddenly the tight tunnel ended and I entered a much bigger one, I again had to choose a direction: right or left. I also noticed two paths of prints, it was regular pointed small holes in ice similar to holes my glaceon's claws made to grip onto the slippery ice. But no creature could have such a strange claw pattern, and it was stinking in the odour of artificial gum.

Of course, only humans were missing here.

But that actually saved me from wandering, if a human walked here before, then the path they took had to be an exit. Following the human tracks, I turned to the right. The floor here was much smoother than before and covered slightly by snow, I noticed a few items which proved that there were prints of humans: like broke icicles which someone found necessary to touch, weird forms made in the snow or engraved in walls. As I stepped, the ground became dirtier and finally become yellow-brown sand. I exited the tunnel I found myself at the edge of the thick forest with ground overgrown by ferns, smartweed, poppy and other kinds of weeds. It was much hotter here so I quickly lost my ice-type and changed to leafeon. I saw that mountains were now far behind me with black clouds above them. I smiled, maybe I was at last lucky that I fall to this cave, I would probably still wandering somewhere in a blizzard and that I walked under it.

I sighed and stretched as if I just woke up, I was again on track to wandering through the world. As long as there is somewhere to go there is no reason to worry. I hadn't planned any specific way to go, so I simply went straight ahead. The forest was a mixture of trees, big sharp rocks and thick bushes, I could hear humming stream of water in the distance.

When I ventured deeper into the forest I heard shouts and sounds not typical to the forest. I followed the source of the sound, crawling through the high weeds, hiding in bushes and looking what was ahead. A few meters from me was a pair of humans one male and another female. The male had short dark hair wear unbuttoned imitation leather biker jacket and blue pants, the female had a light t-shirt, colourful winter coat in her hands and the similar pair of pants, both of them had stuffed backpacks. Before them was running and jumping on male's commands quadruped fox-like pokemon with red-brown fur, pointed ears and six orange curled tails. From the slim figure, I judged that the vulpix was female. I saw them having fun with each other. But for me, it was a sad sight: a pokemon who was raised by humans, never tried living on her own, and was seeing someone's commands as "fun" because she was trained to see them in that way.

There was no future for pokemon like her, they were no more than an addition to the human, and sent into the wild they would die quickly not being able to find food or a safe place to sleep.

I wasn't even sure if they have still their own will if they were doing everything that humans told them to do, depending on one routine.

Eat, sleep, fight, repeat.

I never saw a vulpix before but this one looked young; yet with eyes of experienced pokemon. She was tired of following human's orders but she kept a smile on her face.

I left them going backwards through the same way which I came but be a mistake I stepped on a dry twig, even if the forest wasn't silent the sound of broken twig was unnaturally loud.

I heard the command to use some attack, guessing that I would be a target I lied flat on the ground and after the second air above me was on fire. Bushes before me were burned exposing me to the sight of humans.

"Hi," I said, which to humans would be heard like 'Leaf'. I turned to run.

"I will catch him!" I heard a confident, gentle but mature voice of vulpix. I wasn't afraid of being captured, but I didn't want to fight the fire-fox.

I ran to the direction from where I earlier could hear the flow of water. After few turns, I was before stream which wasn't broad but I couldn't make him in one jump, I landed close to the opposite bank and exited the water before I could change to vaporeon.

If I couldn't make it in one jump than smaller vulpix also couldn't, and she wouldn't risk being soaked or I thought she wouldn't. When I wasn't visible from the stream bank I slowed down to a walk.

I decided that it was a good time to rest. I stayed awake the last day and night, I also didn't want to sleep at night and it was noon now. But when I finally found a branch big enough to be comfortable for me and hidden deep in foliage I heard a splash of the water.

Did this vulpix really try to catch me?

The answer came when from above I saw the soaked and tired vulpix slowly going through the bushes. She was dragging her six wet tails behind her, which were covered with small leaves and twigs. She looked as if she ran a marathon, plowing through every possible plant on her way until stream stopped her. She made few more steps forward before she collapsed, exhausted.

I knew that training in Distortion World left me in much better shape than other pokemon. But that wasn't that far of a distance to run to become exhausted like that. Then again, what could I expect from someone who was running only on a flat battle arena, humans roads and maybe occasionally grassy clearings. The forest here was on undulating terrain and full of medium sized plants. I noticed that my 'hunter' fall asleep under the tree on which I was.

Seeing that I sighed, my first day were hard for me in this world, I needed to learn how to be 'wild' but I already knew how to hunt and keep myself safe. Falling asleep in the middle of the forest uncovered wasn't a bright idea, not every wild pokemon I meet would kill randomly sleeping vulpix. But she didn't even check if it was someone's territory. What if it was, for example, my ground, and seeing someone here could make me upset enough to hurt it. She didn't even notice me on the tree under which she fell asleep!

So hopeless.

"But maybe she can change? Just with a little help," Myron suggested in pleading tone.

"Are you expecting me to take care of her?" I asked, couldn't believe in that idea.

"Maybe not taking care of her, just to show her the world from another point of view than she sees it now, we were in similar situation, not with humans but with Giratina," Myron explained.

"Even if I would try, she came to catch me, it can be hard to convince her," I said turning to my back staring at the sky.

"Kill her and there won't be a problem," said the electric side of me but as usually was ignored.

Maybe her human will come and take her?

I waited long but he didn't come, it was getting late and I didn't even hear talking voices which usually accompanied a group of human. I looked down on still unconscious pokemon.

"I'm not taking care of her, I'm just... making sure that she won't die this night," I said silently to myself, getting down from the tree.

I walked to vulpix and gently inserted leaf-like tail under her body. My tail wasn't strong enough to lift her but I could drag her on it.

It was impossible to return to the tree crown with her, I needed to find some other hidden place. Walking through the forest just before nightfall, I found a deep niche in the land, covered by fallen rotten tree. I put her at the back of the niche.

Being leafeon I had a weak connection to the plants, but I was able to sense some fruits. I couldn't eat them but maybe the vulpix would when she woke up. It wasn't far, just a few meters at left from the temporary den. I gathered a few small round fruits on my tail, but when I was walking back I lost them when my form changed to umbreon, whose tail wasn't flat and broad, which was useless for my purpose. If I focused I could stay in leafeon form because I didn't lose contact with plants in the forest. Dark energy was just stronger and without control was dominating others.

I made a pile from the fruits on the ground and left them as I hadn't any option to transport them without covering them in saliva. I crawled on the fallen tree before the niche and lied on it. Because I missed my earlier planned nap I was sleepy, but I knew that because of glowing rings I was very visible in the darkness, so I tried to stay awake.

The night was calm, I noticed few other dark-types, mostly flying ones and maybe saw a ghost-type but I wasn't sure about it. Nothing was ever sure with ghosts. Temperature lowered a lot, a shiver went through my body when the night wind penetrated my fur coat. I didn't like a temperature like that one, too warm to change to glaceon, too cold for every other possible form. I felt that it is warm coming from the niche. I stood up and I entered the den. The source of the warmth was fox-like pokemon. I admitted that she was useful even sleeping. I curled not too close but also not too far from her, facing the broad entrance.

I wasn't sure if I fell asleep for a moment but I noticed that it started getting lighter. I stood up and returned to the same spot on which I was before I felt coldness.

The morning was refreshing, a still cold breeze blew from the stream's direction contrasting the warm rays of the rising orange sun. I wasn't able to rest enough in this or last night and now I felt the result of being two days without sleep.

I didn't even start showing her 'true' life and I already was tired because of that, why am I even doing that?

"Because it reminds you of yourself," Myron hurried with an answer.

"Is that the only reason?" I asked trying to stop yawning, I didn't expect any answer. If I already started helping I would try to continue doing that. I hadn't any plans for now just to go ahead until I find something interesting on the road but I could also try to adapt her to wilderness.

To feel more awake, I ran across some higher undergrowth, which was wet because of dew. Close contact with plants made my change to leafeon faster and water made me feel fresher. I went to the vulpix's place and found her still sleeping.

"Hey, wake up," I said loudly, her ears tricked signalising that she heard but she didn't move. I move closer and said again. "Hey, it's morning already." I poked her with a paw.

"Put me into a ball if we need to move already," she answered still being in the dream world and curling even tighter.

"There are no balls in the wilderness," I said little puzzled. Did she really prefer those small prisons to just waking up?

"Wilderness?" she said immediately fully awake, she looked nervously around ending at me. "Didn't I catch you?"

"No, it seems that I caught you," I said when she was standing up. "What is your name anyway?"

"Vulpix, but what you mean that you caught me? Wild pokemon can't catch other pokemon," she said and noticed how dirty she was, winced she started pulling out small twigs and leaves from her tails.

"I mean that I brought you here but this is your species name, I asked for your real name. For example, mine is..." I thought about it for few second "...Myron" I finally said.

"Why me?" asked surprised Myron.

"That was all your idea," I answered him shortly.

"What was my idea?" Vulpix asked, I forgot that she was listening.

"How you could forget? She is just standing before you," Kilian said in a bored tone but I ignored him focusing on the pokemon before me.

"Ehm, nothing. So what was your name?" I questioned her again.

"I already said it, my name is Vulpix, I was named as that by my master but what am I doing here?" Raised by humans, she didn't even have her own name, no personality, no will, just a body following orders.

"Well, you were following me but I easily outran you, when I was about to take a nap I saw you: dirty and tired. You fell asleep under the tree where I was, which wasn't such a smart idea, maybe not everyone will kill you instantly... "-like me during my hunting trip-"... but you didn't even check your surroundings."

The loud growl of a stomach answered me but that wasn't mine. I looked at the Vulpix but she looked away embarrassed.

"I..., I need to return to my human, I'm hungry," she said. "Could you tell me which way I can find him?"

"No, I didn't see him since you were with him but there is no need to have a human to eat something," I said and looked in the way where I dropped fruits, checking that they were still there. "There are some fruits over there, I wanted to gather them but I dropped them because ... em," I didn't want to say that I just changed to umbreon for a while and trying to explain my biology but it seemed that Vulpix didn't even pay attention what I was saying after she heard 'fruits' so I let it go. She walked to the small lying balls and examined them.

"What are those?" She asked curiously.

What are these fruits, I didn't know if I answer wrong she could become suspicious why leafeon don't know some plants which with he could have some connection and should know names of round popular everywhere growing fruits.

"Maybe currants?" suggested Myron also unsure.

"Currants," I repeated quickly.

She looked at the fruits one more time. I waited in suspense for her verdict. It appeared that fact of fruits lying on the ground didn't bother her, she started to eat. She ate every 'currant' and turned to me.

"I never saw currants like these but I guess that leafeon couldn't make mistake in naming the fruit," She said, I wasn't sure if I could sigh with relief just yet.

"I just picked whatever I found," I said.

"Oh! You remind me, I was about to catch you!" she said pushing away the problem with fruits naming. Vulpix made some distance between us and made a pose. I guessed that she wanted a fight but the pose was more like for some presentation than a fight, which with her cleaner than before but still, dirty appearance looked rather weird.

"Are you really want to fight me? You slept half of a day just after running after me," I said very unsure about this idea, she couldn't be a challenge. She was still obeying orders. "You don't need fulfilling other's orders, didn't you ever thought about... living on your own?"

She stared at me uncomprehendingly.

"But I'm living on my own and don't be such sure about your win. I'm a trained pokemon, I can win with every wild one and I will prove my usefulness to my master after I beat you. Don't you feel a little lucky? Your life is about to change for the better." For the better? How could her sad limited life be better than my freedom.

"So you are living on her own? What was last thing what you did on your own then?" I wanted to know which 'on her own' she meant.

"I'm fighting on my own," she answered quickly.

"Controlled by a human," I added to show her that wasn't completely 'on her own'. She grimaced but didn't undeniable.

"I am umm... eating..."

"What human will serve you," I cut her off.

"I will beat you anyway! And save you from the wilderness," she said, visibly irritated, charging up some fire attack and unleashing it. I moved from fire's way, this attack was extremely slow, I didn't even need to jump or did anything fast. Seeing no effect of her attack, she repeated it but the result wasn't different.

"Your flames are looking fine but you are posing and attacking like if it was some presentation. It is not how a real fight should look like," I announced after another attempt to catch me on fire. "Maybe try from a closer range? That would be easier for you to aim."

"Do you really gave advice to your opponent?" Kilian asked seriously.

"Oh, come on. She isn't danger, the way she fights is quite funny," I answered calming him.

Vulpix looked at me weirdly as if I was crazy or something.

"Am I funny?! I will show you that I'm serious!" she squealed and ran to me. When she was close she exhaled a stream of flames, just I said her to do. Now I needed to use some of my agility to duck but still, I was unharmed.

"See? Much better if you would be raised in the wild you would get that idea 'by yourself'," I said hard accenting 'by yourself'. My comments were getting her angry but she didn't answer this time covering her whole body in flames and running to me again. I turned and jumped up the nearby tree, digging claws in the tree's bark I climbed quickly onto some lower branch. Seeing that I was out of her range she stopped and look up at me.

"Get down from there!" she screamed angrily.

"New situation and you don't know what you should do, where is your own invention? Can you do something without command?" I was rude but maybe she would see her mistake.

"You are talking to me about a true fight but you are only running from my attacks. Are you suggesting that being wild means being a coward?" She said with fire escaping her mouth. I decided that lesson should end. I didn't want to make her hate me and it seemed that she had enough.

I jumped from the tree to the ground close to Vulpix flank and quickly spun slapping her by the flat side of leaf tail making her fly to the ground. I waited until she got up before I ran to her, she let another stream of fire but easily dodged it and slapped her again. Using the flat side of the tail couldn't make any injury but must have stung a lot. She got up again and rubbed where she got hit.

"Are you fighting until you faint?" I asked and she nodded, all her confidence and posing were gone now.

I moved again and she again tried a counter with fire which I dodged by changing my running direction a little. I started spinning again to hit but I noticed that she closed her eyes, she was waiting for a final hit, trained to stay in place until someone told her to move. I stopped my tail close before her head and I only gently touched her cheek with my tail.

"You can't do anything without someone telling you to do, can't you? I have my own invention, that's why I won. Return to your human if you don't have your own, weakling." It was only a battle but I doubted that in other situations she would be more self-reliant. I returned to the same tree which I used during the fight because I found it comfortable back then. When Vulpix noticed that hit didn't come she opened her eyes and looked quite surprised.

"I was beaten by the wild pokemon," she said very quietly, her pride was gone. I probably wasn't addressee of these words. "After all that training, just because I hadn't a command?" She slowly lied on her stomach where she was standing.

"Myron, how is it, living in the wilderness?" I heard her asking after a while, louder than before but still silent and unsure.

"You usually stay in a pack of your kind, unless you are of a loner species. When you want to eat you eat when you want to sleep you sleep, everything depends on your idea of how you want to live," I answered her didn't looking on her or lifting my head.

"And you live like that? If yes then why you could beat me so easily, I was trained for a fight."

Because I am not born in the wild and was raised like you, for one purpose.

"I'm going through the world looking at things which I find interesting and often get into trouble..."-because of my nature..."I am not sure if this is luck since this made my journey more interesting or I'm just unlucky since sometimes it can be dangerous."

"Do you think that pokemon who never was wild and only sporadically visited places like that can learn how to become 'wild'?" she asked with hope.

"I think that a pokemon needs to be sure of its decision and be able to change, but yes it is possible," I replied. I was an example. She didn't say anything more, it seems this conversation had ended.

"I think that was a little too harsh," said Myron after a while of lying on a branch.

"It was fine, it depends on how she thinks about what you said," Zenon the vaporeon rejected.

"If she sees her limits pointed out she would be able to change," said Kilian.

"But if not, she will just return to some human and act as nothing happened," continued Flareon.

"I think she's already decided," said Lasota the espeon.

I looked down to find creature which I didn't saw before. Under the tree was on four slender legs standing pokemon covered in luxurious yellow-white and orange on the ends of the nine long tails, fur.

"I'm not sure if it is a name but in the past, someone named me...," former vulpix said in new astonishing voice "... Naert."
