Night had since fallen as I sat alone on the roof and stared out into the darkness beyond in the forest. I had managed to sneak away from Jennifer so she I am not treated like a toy. The moon phase was a new moon and I felt weak. Or maybe I just don’t have any energy? It’s a weird feeling and I don’t like it.
Susan explained more about Johnathan who, apparently, is Jennifer and Oliver’s biological great grandfather. He was an explorer and champion pokemon trainer who achieved many things such as earning the trust of several legendary pokemon who all would, if Susan is to be believed, fight for him. And even though the concept of using legendary pokemon to battle was just a part of the games in my old life, it seems that is extremely rare in the actual version of this game. Legendary pokemon, are not, to be fucked with. At least what I am told when I asked only to get some confused stares, but Susan and Jennifer answered regardless.
As it turns out, that large storm that caused us to fall into the cave that led to the ruins, was caused by Lugia who is still running rampant, seemingly searching for something or someone. And it wasn’t even doing anything other than flying around and yet it caused that storm! Apparently, besides recent events, the last legendary to go on a rampage was zygarde due to team Flares actions. The order pokemon levelled several cities and took a combined effort of dozens of gym leaders and skilled trainers to calm it down. And it was in its 50% form!
The recent attack on Santalune City was a massive coordinate strike by various splinter groups of the various once powerful criminal empires. The concerning thing about it was all the cities had one thing in common. They were all related to the location of a legendary pokemon. Out of all the attacks, only three somewhat succeeded. Santlune was the first where they managed to awaken Yveltal. The second was the Village of Dragons in unnova where Reshiram dwelled and the legendary was hurt by a powerful and lucky shot but nothing else occurred as the assault was beaten. The final legendary was Viridian city in Kanto where mew was captured but was freed.
Many people where harmed and some where killed. Hundreds of buildings have been damaged or destroyed. And for what? These assaults achieved nothing but senseless violence and destruction. And who is behind it all? And why was such a public show of force like this even necessary? I don’t even know why I am thinking about this so much. I shouldn’t get involved in all this bullshit. But if I am going by my luck, I am going to get dragged back into at some point. Or something else is going to go horribly wrong.
What’s next, a asteroid is gonna crash somewhere and deoxys going to show up and ask for my help! I quietly yell. Through the canopy of leaves, a orange line starts going across the night sky away from me back toward Santalune City. WELL FUCK YOU TO. I yell into the night sky as I jump of the roof.

I land on all fours before something hits my side and knocks me down. I look to see Asra darting off into the forest looking back at me with a smile before all her rings fade to black and she darts of into the forest.
Oh it is on. I say with a smile and competitive spirit as I dash after her.

Okay! I hear Asra yell as I had her pinned after the play fight we had. You win!
I smile as I let her get up only for her to shove me down and pin me there. She smiled as she stood victoriously atop me. Well played. I respond as she lets me up.
“Well that was fun to watch.” Sounds out the voice of a child. Both me and Asra went into a defensive stance as we searched our surroundings. “There is no need for that.” I hear called in the voice of a young girl and turn my head to see in the forest a young child who I can best describe as pink. The maybe seven year old girl had pink shirt, shorts, shoes, hat. Her hair was brown while her skin had a pinkish tint while her eyes were both bright pink. I felt my stance lessen at the sight before I got even more worried as to why there is a child in the middle of the forest.
I started scanning the surroundings more while Asra kept an eye on the girl.
“There is no need for all that caution little umbreons.” The girl said with a calming smile. “I mean I probably be more cautious considering I almost got captured a few days which was really scary.” The girl says with child like innocence. “Luckily lots of people came to help me!”
I stare at the girl with suspicion as I listen for any sounds that could indicate something was wrong. But nothing. It was just the normal sounds of the forest, despite how wrong it felt being here.
“Anyway, I just came to help out a friend. Well, he is kind of a friend. I mean he did a lot of bad things the others won’t tell me about but I can only guess he is a bad guy. But he is really nice!” She yells as she jumps up. But she doesn’t descend. Rather, she just floats there. “What’s with the look?” She asks innocently as she flips upside down.
You’re floating! Asra blurts out and clearly is just as surprised as I am.
“So, lots of other pokemon can do it.” She retorts and her tone sounded like an annoyed child.
Wait, what do you mean other pokemon? I ask as the pink girl flips in the air.
“Well I’m bored so.” She exclaims as she raises her hand and clicks her fingers. “Have fun!”
The feeling of dread was overwhelming as the ground below both me and Asra vanished into what looked like the void. I tried to jump but the void below me just caused the ground to not exist and the both of us fell. As I fell, one thought came to mind.
Why does bad stuff keep happening to me?
