Bitter~Sweet 2 Ula'ula Mischief

Epilogue 1: Defiance

We didn't have anywhere to go. Life is funny like that. Magnezone was not budging, probably some form of loyalty, and respect for a Tapu.

We couldn't escape, and we couldn't fight back on such a small platform to be standing on in the middle of the air, above the ocean, and yet rather than curl up into a ball, and surrender, I felt anger instead. That's the only explanation I could think of that possessed me to do what I did.

- What are you going to do? - %% You really don't know? I'm surprised. Well initially I was going to take you back half an hour ago, but as you can see from my...improper state, my hands are kind of tied. %%

p^^ Yeah, what on earth happened to you? I never seen a Tapu so beat up before. ^^p

%% Unfortunately I'm forbidden to divulge that information to you guys specifically. It was one the conditions for losing the duel. %%

@~ One of the conditions? ~@ %% Oh no, not you again. I thought I made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with you. Why are you traveling with them now. %% 

@~ I take offense to that, and also I figured 2 pure grass type pokemon might run into some trouble, so I tagged along to help them out. ~@ (Mimikyu...) - Hmff..I'm not as helpless as I look. - What are you, a Tsundere?

%% Anyway, as much as I enjoy this entertainment, I need to get back to my cave soon to regrow my wing scales, and heal up.  So are you going to take my blessing, or not? %%

Wha? Blessing? ( Is this some kind of trick? ) I thought to myself. %% No trick, welllll... other than you being tied to me, and Akala Island, but...%% I refuse! Tapu Lele paused. %% Excuse me? %% I sat up straighter. 

You heard me. I refuse your blessing. %% I don't think you understand what you're saying there Alex. Nobody refuses my blessing. You're a totem pokemon now right? You're leaking a lot of Z-energy right? Energy that tends to attract those ultra beast. %%

( Tch, talking to me like I'm stupid.) %% It's cause you are stupid! My blessing is what protects the totem pokemon from being attacked from Ultra beast on My island! What don't you get!? %%

That I have to devote my life to you! I'm not a pokemon Lele, I'm not bound to your rules! Lele rolls her eyes. %% This again? First you run away, and than you come back thinking you know how the world works. News flash! Jirachi is still sleeping, No scientist on this earth would ever work towards making a pokemon human, and no magic from any witch would ever permanently transform you. %%

- That's why we are going to see Tapu Fini! She'll have the answer, and she'll be the one to help us. All you ever done, was give us half answers, and telling us to give up. -

%% Pfff hahahahahaha Fini? Really? You think she'll help you? A pokemon that claims to still be human? I have news for you then. Tapu Fini hates humans. Hahahahahahaha %%

What!? I look around, and see everyone's mouths drop too. %% It was a long time ago, but she got sick of seeing bad humans try to steal her precious pure water. Ironic how those bad experiences tainted her view.

She does know a lot about the old days. Even more than me to be honest, but the thought of her helping you? Heheheh...I guess I don't have to worry after all. ( I win in the end. )

You'll come back to me, once you realize that this game you've been playing was for nothing. %%

How about you read my mind than? %% What are you... %% What's the matter? You already read my mind several times earlier, and I know you're curious on what we've been up to. Remember how you said you were keeping tabs on us when we first met?
