Unpredictable (Pokémon Fanfic)

2.3

So, because it's been so long, let's have a little review now shall we (You can skip this if you remember the story):

(Unstable)— Sienna, granddaughter of the Snowbelle gym leader Wulfric, sets out on a journey of revenge against the family that wronged her. She meets a group of five (Russet, Cerise, Malicai, Peridot, and Jasper) who are trainers on their own journey. Each of the group members catches an Eevee. Sienna names hers Averie. Sienna kills one, Malachi, in reflection cave after feeling threatened, the others are unaware of this. Sienna meets up with her cousin Akia who takes her to visit the Laverre gym leader.

A few days pass, and it is reported that Malachi has been found dead. After his funeral, the group goes to Snowbelle City where Sienna meets her brother Sage, who she hasn't seen in years. After Cerise beats Wulfric in a gym battle, Wulfric confronts Sienna, alone. Feeling that her trainer was being threatened, Averie attacks Wulfric, fatally injuring him. After another confrontation, this time between Sienna and her brother, the group, now accompanied by Sage, reaches the Pokémon League. Because of a plan concocted by Akia, Sienna tells Russet that she is a suspect in Wulfric's murder, nut doesn't tell him it was her who killed Wulfric. Akia and Sienna then fell to the Johto region.

(Unpredictable)— Akia has become a gym leader with Sienna serving as her assistant under the pseudonyms Faerdae and Stephanie. Because of Wulfric's death, there has been a lot of political unrest in Kalos, with two major groups fighting for power, the KIC and Razor Corps (Also known as Flash Corps). Sienna is sent on a mission to locate two operatives that may have been sent to Johto by the KIC accompanied by Peridot who moved back to Johto following the events of Unstable. After finding out via the news Sage has been injured back in Kalos, Sienna and Peridot meet up with the KIC operatives, who turn out to be Jasper and a girl named Lisian. After telling the two about Lance's plan, Sienna goes back to Goldenrod where she is attacked by to Razor Corps Operatives.

And that's where we begin! (I probably could've shortened this but whatever. I don't know how to summarize stuff.)

I don't know where I am. That's my only thought now is that I don't know where I am. Not that my lungs are in so much pain they feel close to bursting. Not that my arms and legs are so sore I can't move them. Not that I my eyes fill so heavy I can't even move them. No, the only thought I care about is that I don't know where I am.

Minutes pass or maybe hours. I realize that I'm lying down. I want to question it but I can't even catch my breath enough to ponder the idea. I'm trying to focus on breathing. In. Out. In. Out. It hurts. It feels like I'm breathing in acid. Why am I in so much pain? Why can't I move?

Where am I?

I manage to open my eyes a little. Where ever I am, the lights are dim. I can't make out much; everything is blurry and dull. How disorienting. I don't like not knowing where I am. It makes me feel vulnerable, like at any second I'll be under attack. Attack.

The word sends a jolt through my body. I go rigid, still unable to move my limbs but tenser than before. My heart beats painfully, as if every pump is a struggle. I can hear the blood coursing in my ears. I was under attack, and now I'm here. Someone was trying to hurt me and now I don't know where I am. I blink to clear the bleariness from my eyes. My head swivels slowly, the motion sending a brief wave of nausea through me, as my vision gets slowly sharper.

I think I'm in a hospital. With my head turned I see a large window. Outside the low light of sunset shines in, bathing the room in a cool orange glow. The walls are a sterile white with would light colored wood trim adorning the corners. I move my head to face forward. For a second, my heart skips a beat.

There are two figures. I don't recognize them immediately. Well one is a Pokémon so maybe that contributes, but the other is human, their face obscured by thin charcoal hair that fades to bright pink at the tip. They sit across the room from me, legs tossed over the arm of the chair they are in. The Pokémon, an Espeon, shifts in the person's lap and turns to face me. Ah! The Espeon's facial fur is a shade darker than the rest of its body. Averie. She's calm so I garner that I'm safe. The human turns to face me, hair falling to frame their face. Akia. The look she gives me is one of amusement.

"You are a real piece of work, aren't you?" She smiles, but as always with Akia, it comes off as insincere. She twists herself to sit in the chair properly and leans in toward me, causing Averie to jump off of her lap onto the floor.. She doesn't say any more, only cocks an eyebrow as if expecting an answer.

I try my best to sit up, but my muscles are too weak. I resign myself to just lift my head to see her better. "I don't understand what you mean. Where am I?"

She shakes her head, her hollow smile still plastered on her face. "Look, you do realize we came here to get away from people thinking you're crazy—"

"I'm not crazy," I interrupt her. She holds her hands up to placate me.

"I know, I know. I know that you aren't and I'm not saying that you are." She lets out a sigh. "You can't be freaking out like that, Si-Si. Lance is already suspicious of us and you almost killed a girl today."

What? Maybe that's why I feel so weak. But why am I in the hospital? Did she manage to hurt me as well? I voice my concerns to Akia.

"You're suffering from exhaustion, I know that much. And you managed to get a concussion and sprain a few joints but other than that you are fine. Your 'opponent' on the other hand." She chuckles a little. Why is she acting so weird? What is going on in her head? "She's not doing too well. I don't know if you know this, but knives are not a part of a fair fight."

I stare at her. It feels like I should remember what happened, her words tugging at spots in my brain. I frown, concentrating, but frustratingly enough the memory seems just out of my grasp, like a dream you can't quite recall the details of. I yawn. The effort of talking and thinking has taken a lot out of me.

"Don't fall back asleep just yet," Akia says standing up. "I gotta go tell the doctors you woke up." She looks down to Averie. "Look out for her alright." Then she exits the room, leaving just me and my Pokemon.

Averie trots over to me, looking awkward as she does so. She's still getting use to evolving I see. Her body is much larger than it once was. She stands on her hind legs and places her paws on the edge of the bed I'm in. I look at her light violet eyes. I must admit, it's a little unnerving. They are no longer as expressive and innocent as they once were. Now they give off this all-knowing aura, as if she is reading your every thought. I can't say her being here doesn't ease my tensions a bit though, even if her change is still jarring to me.

She hops onto the bed and cuddles up next to my side, sliding under my hand. I can feel the fine furs on her body shifting, as if searching for something. It's comforting. Her body is relaxed, but alert as if guarding me but also trying to set me at ease. Despite what Akia told me, I begin to relax and feel myself drifting to sleep.

Then Averie tenses. The hairs on her body shoot up turn rigid. Her tail goes still. I don't do anything. I can't. I clench my hands and try to steady my breathing. The door handle clicks. Averie begins shifting her position. The door opens... It's Lance. I breathe a little and expect Averie to relax as well.

Strangely enough, she doesn't.

Look at me! Keeping promises and stuff!

I hope you enjoyed and like I said, if you remember two chapters, one involving Sienna with a headache and the other about Peridot, then forget them. I didn't like them.

Anyways, thanks for reading. If you have any questions, spot any errors, or have any suggestions, be sure to tell me. I try my best to respond.

But yeah, that's it. Again, thanks and I'll see you next Saturday. Bye!
