Chapter 36: Unaware of Guilt

Chapter 36: Unaware of Guilt

"Braaaaiiii..." On top of her flygon, a woman looked down on the falling breviary that she was just able to beat.

But despite her victory, she didn't allow herself a moment of peace, as she petted her pokemon to command him to fly once more toward the center of the island. Her flygon immediately followed the order, but in a much slower speed than she was used from him, but she didn't find it weird, as he must probably be hurt by the recent assault, the proof were the multiple wounds on its body.

At least it was able to protect her, as the only thing damaged from her was her long green ponytail, something she didn't waste any time by tying them together again.

As she was doing that, she couldn't help herself by thinking back on the strength of this random wild pokemon. "...how was anybody able to survive on this island without being killed? Even an archon would have trouble surviving here..." She silently murmured as she still looked back with fear in her voice, as only one wild pokemon was strong enough to force her to fight with all of her might, yet she was sure that this pokemon wasn't even near the strongest on this island...if even his pack.

But at least she felt that the more she approached the giant mountain in the center of the island, the safer she would be from these attacks. And she was right, as the rest of her travel happened without any issue.

Also, the moment she approached the mountain, she was able to see some human infrastructure, such as stairs, but even more importantly, an enormous post stood halfway from the mountain.

"...well I guess that's where I'm supposed to go...but it's strange, usually Geeta would be more precise with her direction..." she murmured, as she gave the order to her flygon to scale up the mountain.

She noticed some pokemon installed along the mountain, but most of them looked pathetically weak, so she paid them no mind..

"How far up is this mountain? It's almost as big as...oh, wait, I see the t..." Any words that were going to be thrown out of her mouth were immediately shut down as she was forced to contemplate the sight before her.

"Wha...by the distortion...what is that?" She was so focused on the Zenith Academy, which looked more like a giant castle of pristine white, that she didn't even notice two guards approaching her.

"Who are you, and why are you here?!" The flygon rider woke up from her surprise and looked down at them just to see two guards that weren't even worth describing.

The only thing somewhat remarkable about them was their outfit, which largely looked similar to the school uniform, except they only had golden lines on their upper body, and the logo was plastered right at the center of their chest.

Another thing worth noticing were their strength, but not in a good way, as she was mostly surprised how weak they felt, sincerely, she even wondered what they were supposed to guard when even some of the pokemon she saw when she flied up the mountain looked as strong as them, let not even talk about the braviary.

'Well I suppose that most truly strong guards are long dead now...because of this stupid war...' She pushed a sigh of sadness before descending from her pokemon and landed right in front of them.

They immediately tensed up when she landed in front of them, one was already prepared to call for reinforcement, while the other one was ready to give up his life just to hold her back for a single moment. None of them even envisaged the thought that they could beat her, as someone with a flygon strong enough to pass through Danu wasn't someone to be trifled with.

She evidently noticed their fear, but she didn't mind too much, as she took out of her pocket a piece of paper and handed it over to them.

"This is a letter coming from Geeta Violeta requesting my presence inside this establishment." Both guards only looked at the paper the same way a magicarp would look...well how it would look at anything really. "Will you take it?" She said with a little frustration inside her voice, which made the guard wake up from their surprise and immediately took the paper with them, while the other immediately calling for an escort.
