Together

Chapter Sixteen

"Now, I want you to listen to me, and again don't tell anyone of our encounter. If anything just tell them you learned this all on your own without guidance. The Squad has some...interesting history with us. We'd rather not say what it is, however the squad will be after us if anything." Tudi explained.

Fae nodded her head, knowing full well these could be a couple of villains. However, even she knew villains could become good. Or at least help like they were helping her with her move.

She owed at least this secret to them for their kindness in showing her the move. She shivered a bit. Although be a bit extreme with how they teach it, they still managed to get me to figure out how to use it. I still need practice with it, however, but I am glad not all villains are as ruthless and adamant towards catching me as that Luxray seems to be.

"Okay, I'll keep your appearance a secret. I have a feeling the squad won't like it if I learned this move from you." She barked with loyalty.

Tisa and Tudi appreciated the gesture. "Okay then. Because if you were to tell anyone I would have had to kill you. Anyways, something you might want to know is your brother has many enemies."

Fae tipped her head. He seemed like such a good Pokémon. Why would such an oddball like her brother have enemies? He told her he didn't have any.

"You mean like the Luxray?" She asked them. This confused them.

Tudi chuckled. "Them too, I suppose, however I was talking about the villains he's 'accidentally' put a stop to. There's a couple you should probably keep an eye out for. Like us. Well, sort of, but we don't really focus on that dumbo anyways."

"Hey! Eon isn't a dumbo! That's mean!" She protested as the Sandslash's eyes glowed menacingly. He approached her slowly. "It's mean, but it's the truth. In my book he's done more stupid things than helpful things. You've only seen his more wise side. I suppose it's an act he's putting up for who knows why, however, he's still a stupid Pokémon. He thought the starter squad of all Pokémon could teach you with their weak and pathetic ways of training? No wonder why a good portion of them are dying and the towns folk are questioning their faith in them."

Is it really that dumb of an idea to have some skilled Pokémon train me? It must have been dumb luck then that you were able to be the ones to teach me this move.

Fae glanced towards the door. Tudi noticed.

He sighs. "Listen, uhh, weirdo Vee. There's many villains out there. Villains much worse than us. You got to be careful. Eon has some powerful enemies."

Fae noticed the Sandslash flinching, slight hatred in his eyes. He shook his head as if to rid himself of something.

"Powerful?" She questioned him. Does he mean dangerous?

"Yes. Has he ever told you about the story of how Arceus almost fell?" The Sanslash asked her. She nodded. "Of course! He just told me about it not long ago. He told me some villains band together and attempt to take out the powerful alpha Pokémon." She shuddered.

Tudi flinched again.

"Yes, that's correct. One of those Pokémon is a Darkrai." Tudi explained to her. Her jaw dropped open. "You mean the Pokémon of myths that is told to give nightmares? That Darkrai?" She questions in shock and slight fear.

Was a Darkrai really going to destroy Arceus? How many Pokémon have come close to destroying such an alpha? Such power almost seemed unfathomable. It was a scary thought. An alpha Pokémon coming close many more times than it should to being destroyed or defeated. Why would it be such a deity if it could be wreaked by a Darkrai? Someone so below it. It was truly unknown how such a process could even happen.
