Deceitful: A Pokemon Transformation

Chapter 22: The One at Fault

"Damian! Oh my Arceus I can't believe we finally found you!" Uxie's voice could be heard almost yelling.

I wiped my eyes of the tears with my right arm.

"Uxie?" I asked almost ecstatically.

"Yeah! Oh my gosh Azelf, Mesprit, go tell everyone we found him!"

I sighed.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked.

I took a deep breath, "Everything's wrong, Uxie. I mean... I... I can't be a human ever again."

"Well how d'ya know that?"

"Well... I just... I'm not proud of it but... I attacked a Team Plasma camp, beat down every human and Pokemon there. When I was done, I asked one of the Pokemon if the process is reversible. I... He said no... And now I'm wondering what the point of fighting even is anymore. I feel like if I just turn myself in now, they'll leave everyone alone..."

"Don't say that, Damian! Maybe there isn't a way back, but think of what you'd be doing if you turned yourself in. They won't release Blaziken, first of all. You're family will never see you again! All of that fighting would be for nothing! Absolutely nothing! Now, I'm sending Absol to get you. Maybe he can talk to you more about it."

"Wait, Uxie! I... I have a friend. I just... I don't know if I can leave right now."

"A friend...? Look Damian, the fact is, you can't survive out there alone. With or without your friend you need to be here--"

I stamped my foot into the ground.

"You don't get it though, Uxie! This is the first time I've had a close friend. This is the first time I've actually enjoyed myself through all of this. Buniot is cool and--"

"Damian?"

"We like the same music--"

"Damian?"

"And we just..."

"Damian!"

I shut my mouth.

"You lost your best friend, and I get that you feel you need to fill that gap that's missing in your life. Things are tough, but you have to stay strong, Damian. You're letting all of this take you over completely and... You said you attacked a Team Plasma camp right? If you were here or living in the Frosty Forest with Absol still, you wouldn't have done that," lectured Uxie.

"Uxie, you just don't get it. I feel... Free. I know it sounds stupid, but it's true. I'm sick of being isolated from the outside world and being afraid all the time. Now before, I never could've said that. I didn't have a choice to leave. But now that I have training, a fighting chance, I can be free to an extent. I felt like I was in prison all the time. I haven't been outside for months for crying out loud. I know you're concerned about my safety, but you need to hear me out on this one. Just let me have some freedom... Please..."

She went silent for a moment.

"Damian... I trust you enough to say I know you can survive out there. You have a friend, and that's great. Now, I'm not going to stop you from making your own choices, even though I disagree with it, but just know that when the time comes, let me know when you wanna come back okay? And not just that, I'll be watching you and so will my sisters. If you need anything let us know."

I nodded and grinned in satisfaction.

"Thanks Uxie..."

"Not a problem... Ohh..." As Uxie ended her statement her voice became incredibly distraught.

"What is it?" I asked, a bit on edge now.

"Umm... I almost forgot and I don't know how but... Umm... Ohh boy..."
