Amari could barely keep himself relaxed the entire day since he woke up from that odd dream.

He fidgeted with his fingers constantly, trying to distract himself from the growing anxiety in his core.

What did Giratina want with him of all people?

Why did he ask him such a sensitive question that he still didn't have an answer to?

Of course, it was only a matter of time before someone noticed.


'Amari?' A soft, female voice ringed in his head.

He turned around, seeing Newtwo staring at him with a concerned frown.

'Are you alright?' She asked, sitting next to him.

"I..." Amari went to lie, but hesitated.

Was he really going to lie again, just to get in trouble?

Not like he could, she was a psychic Pokémon, after all.

He sighed.

"...No, I'm not...far from it, actually..." He said, squeezing his fists. "I...had another weird dream last night." He admitted.

Newtwo's brows furrowed.

'Did you meet Arceus again...?' She asked.

"No...some other being called 'Giratina'." Amari said, his eyes widening as he looked at Newtwo again.

Her expression dropped in horror, like as if she had seen a ghost.

To make it worse, the others overheard his words as well.

'I'm sorry, you met WHO now?' Mew said, her eyes widened in shock.

Mewtwo's reaction wasn't any better, anger and worry also plaguing his features.

Amari sweatdropped, looking away.

"I-Is that a problem...?" Amari asked.

'Child. Explain. NOW.' Mewtwo said, his voice warranting rage.

Amari froze in fear, panic settling in.

If these three Pokémon, who were also legendries, saw him as a big deal, then it was definitely a problem.

He suddenly felt a paw on his lap, looking down to see his Eevee.

"Eevee..."Tera said, a worried expression on her face as she stared at her trainer.

Amari took a deep, shaky breath, as he explained what had happened.


'So he just wanted to know about your relationship with Arceus?' Newtwo asked.

"Y-Yeah...it was a hard question, and a weird one, to be honest..." Amari said admittedly. "It's just...all my life I've never really had a good relationship with, well...anybody." He continued, frowning. "I've always been...alone."

The three psionic felines frowned in understanding.

They had their own problems regarding social relationships, especially when it came to humans.

'You have us.'Mew said, floating in front of the boy's face, a determined look on hers.

"Yeah, I know that...but it's still weird even then." Amari said. "I've only known you guys for a few months, and with the way we interact...our relationship is more friends than anything." He explained. "Now that I have people I can call well...'family'...it feels weird doing so."

'Well, that makes the four of us.'Newtwo spoke up, getting Amari's attention.

"What do you mean...?" Amari asked.

'We have our own problems with socializing, child.'Mewtwo said, huffing as he looked away, almost as if he was...embarrassed?

'Indeed; Even as playful as I am, I don't really interact with a lot of Pokémon, as they usually avoid me...and I don't like interacting with humans all that much unless they intrigue me.'Mew said. 'Kinda like you, hehe.' She joked, as the human and the other three Pokémon all sweatdropped.

...

"...Getting back on topic, what can I do about...well...them?" Amari asked, referring to Arceus and Giratina.

'There's not much we CAN do, sadly...as powerful as we are being psychic-types, we can't predict the future.' Newtwo said.

'The best thing we can do is prepare for the worst, and hope for the best, as useless as that advice sounds...'Mewtwo added.

Amari looked down, upset at their answers.

He expected that they would probably say that, but that didn't mean it wouldn't hurt to hear it anyway.

"I'm...gonna go outside for a while...get some fresh air..." Amari said, standing up as he walked outside the house, his Eevee following closely behind.

'Yeah, that sounds good...don't try to think to much about this, okay?'Newtwo said, a hint of concern in her tone.

Amari didn't respond, as he continued walking.

...

'I hope he's okay...'Mew said, frowning.

'We can only wait; At this rate, Arceus knows what will be in store for him in the future...'Mewtwo said, his arms crossed.


Amari laid against a tree, sighing deeply as he put his hands on his face.

It's just one thing after another...

I'm so tired of this...

"Tired, kid?" A random, male voice said near Amari.

Amari snapped his head over to where the voice came from, his eyes meeting up with a man who wore a white belt with a collar shirt underneath a black top.

At the center...was a red 'R' logo.

Amari froze in fear, unable to move.

He tried to run, but he was quickly snatched by the man, too weak to break out from his grasp.

"Now, now...the less you squirm, the easier this'll be."

"Grrr..." Loud growling was heard from behind the man, as he looked to see Tera, Amari's Eevee.

"Ah, forgot about you..." The man said, quickly evading the small Pokémon's attacks, as it was quicky caught by a net.

It tried to bark and scream, clawing at the net, before being injected by a syringe, knocking it out cold.

Amari teared up as he saw the poor thing slowly lose consciousness, tears welling in his eyes.

Unfortunately, it was cut short as he was also injected with the same needle.

"Aw, don't cry...it'll only get worse from here." The grunt said, laughing as Amari fell unconscious.

The guard raised a speaker up to his mouth, turning it on.

"Sir, I've acquired the child."

"Good...bring him here before anyone notices." An eerily gentle, male voice replied.

"What about the Eevee?" The grunt asked.

"Hm, from what I remember the boy's father told me it was oddly colored...perhaps it could be useful in our collection." The male voice said.

"Copy that, I'll bring it over." The grunt said as he put Amari into a bag, walking away from the house.


Amari has a heartfelt talk with the Psychics...then gets kidnapped.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Another one done, this one took me a little longer to get out.

Working on the next chapter as we speak, I'll try to get it released as soon as possible!
