The Legend of the Ninetales, Hecate

Amaris woke up and saw Robin and Irwin walking to the base.

Robin said, "Hey Amaris, we have to ask someone about a rumor being leaked."

The trio ran over to the town square and they saw Carlos talking with a bellsprout named Felix.

Felix asked, "Is it possible for the legend of the Ninetales Hecate is true?"

Carlos answered, "I doubt it. No one has ever seen Hecate."

Robin decided to butt in for curiosity's sake as he asked, "Who's Hecate?"

Carlos answered, "Listen, if you want to hear the full story of the legend I advise you visit Jonah the wishcash."

Irwin asked, "Where's he at?"

Amaris saw the sign and she answered, "Its north from here. Let's go."

Our trio walked into a stone paved road and in the pond was a dark blue, catfish-like Pokémon with a yellow underbelly. He had light blue lips that had short, thin whiskers growing from the lower lips. Long, yellow barbels grew from his cheeks, and there was a yellow marking on his forehead that resembled a W. His name was Jonah. He was considered one of the wisest elders in the town.

Jonah saw the trio and he asked, "What brings you here?"

Irwin answered, "We want to hear about the Ninetales Legend."

Jonah responded, "You came to the right place."

Jonah narrated, "There once lived a Pokémon that was a nine tailed fox named Hecate. Now, Hecate had many tails, all of them imbued with psychic powers. It was said that anyone so foolish as to touch one of her tails would be cursed for a thousand years. But there was someone so foolish as to grab one of the tails. It was a human."

Irwin asked, "What happens to that human?"

Jonah answered, "As one might expect, the human that grabbed the tail was subjected to a thousand-year curse. However, just when the curse was cast, a gardevoir named Glynda shielded the human, and sacrificed herself to absorb the curse."

Robin asked, "What happened to the human?"

Jonah answered, "You need to wait until I finish this story. Taking pity on Glynda, Hecate asked the human this..."Do you wish to save Glynda?" she asked...But the human had already abandoned Glynda and fled."

Irwin muttered, "Crickey…."

Jonah continued, "Hecate became disillusioned with the human. She made this prediction, "That human will one day be reborn as a Pokémon...And when the human becomes a Pokémon...The world's balance will be upset..."

Amaris felt a sense of concern and fear as she heard those words.

Irwin asked, "Why would Glynda shield that coward?"

Jonah answered, "She was partners with the human."

Robin cried, "Look at the sun, it's time to go."

Gideon watched from behind and started smiling in joy.

Amaris cried, "Robin, I know what you're thinking. I'll tell you what I'll cancel some of the missions and you can talk to your parents about it."

Robin said, "I'm sorry."

Amaris retorted, "Don't apologize Robin. I understand how you feel."

Later that night, Amaris started to have a dream, but it was different she saw a Pokémon that was bipedal, humanoid appearance the body resembled a flowing gown. Most of her body was white, but her hair, arms, and the underside of her gown were green. Her hair curled over her face and down the sides of her head. Behind her red eyes were short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It was Glynda the gardevoir from the story.

Amaris asked, "Are you Glynda?"

The gardevoir answered, "Yes and I am…."

Amaris cried, "Wait! Don't leave."

She woke up and she saw Robin and Irwin who were panicking, "AMARIS! WAKE UP!"

Amaris asked, "What's wrong?"

Irwin answered, "Gideon's in town. He's called every Pokémon."
