The Thousand year curse of a Ninetails

The Town Festival

"Tell me again grandpa!" A little boy said in excitement.
"Oh alright. It was a long time ago. A young boy was playing in the forest with his two other friends, when playing in this forest they stumbled upon a cave. The first boy was scared but the other two weren't. They decided to dare the first boy to go in and see what was there. After a few minuets of pushing he went in and saw the protector of the town Nine--"
"Ninetails right grandpa?!" The little boy shouted with glee.
"Yes it was Ninetails. But not just any regular Ninetails this one was a shiny Ninetails. The boy went back and told his friends what he saw. The boy knew that his friends was scared so they dared him to touch the Ninetail's tail. In legends it was said that if you touch a Ninetails tail that you will be cursed for a thousand years. But they didn't believe that. Once the boy agreed to touch its tail he went into the cave. But hours and hours passed and the boy never returned. Some think that the boy was reborn as a Pokemon and lives in this very town."
"Really?
"Yes really. But nobody has any proof so it's only a story."
"You should have told the story at the festival today grandpa."
"Let's have someone else have a turn this year."
"Alright. I'm gonna go to the festival now. Bye grandpa."
"Bye JR."
The young boy left the house and headed down the road to the town festival. It was a festival about the legendary creature Ninetails. It was known for its power and strength and its thousand year curse legend. But the creature was so rare nobody's ever see one before, so nobody knows if it's true or not. JR was always determined to find a Ninetails since the day he heard the legends. JR was always told that the towns protector has never shown its face to anyone but that never stopped the boy.

JR was running down the street when he tripped and fell hitting his head on the ground. he didn't know how but he looked around and saw himself in the forest.
"Grandpa. Mama. Help me" JR said sadly crying in fear and pain. He slowly got up and started to walk in the direction in which he thought was home
"Do not fret dear child. I shall guide you back to the town." a mysterious voice said. It echoed in the forest so it was impossible to trace the source.
"You will?" JR dries his tears
"Yes dear child but at a cost."
"What is it?"
"If I show you myself you must promise to not tell anyone dear child."
"Okay....." once the boy agreed. Then a beautiful shiny Ninetails walked out to the boy.
"Hello JR"
"A Ninetails! I knew you existed!"
"I thank you for visiting my shrine. Hardly anyone dose these days. But let's get you home JR" Ninetails said and started to walk with JR through the thick foggy forest.
" What's your name Ninetails?" JR asked.
"I've always been called Ninetails. Nothing else. A name dose sound nice though."
"How about Clover?"
"Alright my name is Clover"
"Do you always watch over the village?"
"Yes JR. I always watch from a distance to make sure your all okay."
"Um..........Clover?" JR said in a very nervous tone
"What is it JR?"
"Is the thousand year curse real?"
"Yes it is. I used to watch over everyone Inside the village but once the curse was passed onto a young child I left and now watch from the forest for everyone's safety."
"Oh. What is the curse?" The Ninetails disappeared in the fogginess of the woods.
JR stood back in the town.
"Was it all a dream?" JR didn't know and decided to not worry about it because it was the Ninetails festival and regardless of if she was real or fake, he celebrated his new friend Clover, for getting him out of the forest.
