Pokémon Red (Book 2)

The Legend

Eusine's POV

I slowly walked to the Brass Tower, now known as the Burnt Tower. I've been waiting for this for years now and finally I had tracked him down.

The sky was in it's darkest shade. Star lit the sky appearing like tiny snow-flakes, yet they seemed to be still, like a photograph. I smiled, feeling the wind blow my hair. I looked at the constellations, who'd witnessed centuries and millennia just the same, now watched over this tiny moment.

The moment wasn't really tiny, not for me. I clenched my fists and I felt the tears of happiness in my eyes.

Flashback

I was in my childhood home, playing  with my two sisters in the backyard. I was having a fun time. Skipping, sliding, running, those were the days.

"Diana and Rose, I need your help for a moment." Said Mom, calling both of them inside.

I felt a bad, as I wanted to play with them and I knew my mom, she'd not be leaving them 'in a moment'. I sat on the swing, waiting for both of them. When grandfather walked to me.

He was way too old to be even walking and honestly really old to walk and sit on a swing next to me.

"You're having the best time of your life, Eusine." He said, looking at the house.

I stared at his face as he continued speaking.

"My father used to tell me a story, and now I'll tell you this." He said, still looking at our house. "It is said, long time back in the Johto Region, when the Brass Tower burned, when the Ecruteak City was ruled by King Yaku. His guard dogs died in the fire. But the dogs served their master with loyalty, whereas their master left them in the tower to protect himself. Then only, the mythical bird named Ho-oh appeared from the sun and reincarnated the three dogs as the three legendary beasts called Entei, Raikou and Suicune."

I loved the story. I looked at my grandfather in wonder. Suddenly, I felt a sudden increase in the wind.

I looked around, then towards the Cerulean Cape, where I saw a mysterious blue Pokemon, standing at its four legs and surrounded by an aura.

I stood up. "Grandpa, look." I pointed at the Pokemon. It had disappeared. Grandpa smiled and stood up. He walked to the door and stopped.

"Sometimes they appear when you talk about them." He giggled and walked inside.

I stared at the Cerulean Cape.

Flashback over

Here I was, after twenty years, standing right in front of the Burnt Tower, in search of the legendary beast - Suicune, that I saw all those years back.

I opened my hands and stretched them and walked inside.

Eevee's POV

I was sick of being inside the Pokeball. I know it's a big fourth dimensional environment inside here with fresh air but I want to see the real world, let me out Red. The worst thing about this was a floating screen always followed me around in which I could see what was happening outside. I guess there was some sort of camera on the button of the Pokeball.
