Twins of Unova

*Chapter 32: Skyarrow🎶

Skyarrow bridge was elegant and bright in color. It was the only bridge that had a walking path above the main road where the roads were traveling back and forth. I walked ahead to admire the view of the ocean while Nate was following me from behind.

"We are so high up!" I raised my arms in the air, feeling the air on the walking bridge we were on.

"Be careful. This place is narrow. Though there are fences to keep you from falling, I don't want you to go off on your own" Nate said.

"Don't worry! I'm not going to do anything dumb-" I was interrupted by his weird cry like he's seen a ghost or something "What?" He was staring at something beside me, which was nothing there, with a freaked out expression and quickly pointed at nothing "What did you see?" I asked, walking up to him.

"T-There was..." I looked back at where he was looking at "Ghost..? She was just next to you!"

"A ghost?"

"Y-Yeah! She sort of looked like the one from your strange house..." I held my chin and looked around my surroundings, thinking of something "I'm telling the truth!"

"Oh! Don't worry, I believe you. This place just brings back memories" he calmed down and listened to me "I came on here when I was walking back to my mothers house..." I frowned, remembering walking here as a little girl all alone, crying "When my father left... I had to leave my house after the police took care of him. They first came to take him to prep him and bury him. I went with them, then they dropped me back home. They offered to take my mother's house, but I denied and lied, saying I was going to be picked up. I walked on my own at 7 years old. People watched me crying while walking from city to town to route, offering assistance, but I didn't take it. I came home pretending father just left on business, but that was all a lie"

"I'm sorry you had to go through that... I bet visiting your dad again was painful" I smiled.

"Actually... It was comforting. I admit, I did cry when I felt the guilt build up. The shame I held when I knew I couldn't save him. But aside from that, I never believe those who had passed have left us. When I was little, I use to be able to see ghost" he flinched "but that ability disappeared after father died. That's why I believe you when you say you saw a ghost. I wish I got the chance to talk to him like I've done before everything. Seeing ghost may explain why I was terrified of strangers, but things just change... I'd love to see father and Melanie again" I sighed "but it's okay. I'm just happy my family knows the truth and are all together now"

"That's good... I hope you can continue being happy" I smiled and continued on walking the bridge until we made it to the route. The route was quiet and had a few buildings within it, but only by a bit. Oricorio suddenly went crazy and cried out as an alert. Feeling a presence coming my way, I dodged an attack from the Swords of justice.

"Not again" I sighed, tired of this sudden appearance like last time.

"What the fuck?!" Nate shouted, grabbing my hand to make a run for it "Now all of them are here?!" We ran a good distance before Nate stopped to face the three running after us "I'm not going to keep doing this. Let's go, Samurott, Braviary! Gigalith!" He sent out his Pokémon to battle against three legendary Pokémon! He's out of his mind!

"You're seriously going to fight against legendary Pokémon?!"

"Yes! If it means they will leave you alone, I'll fight until you're protected" I frowned, feeling my heart beating hard and fast. He always says things that make me melt...

"Nate..." I sniffled, holding in my emotions "You're so good to me... Why do you make this hard for me..." I watched him fighting hard with his Pokémon to keep Cobalion and Terrakion in check while Virizion kept its eyes on me.
