guardian ➸ ash ketchum

F O U R

THE EEVEE EVOLUTION POKÉMON,

used her psychic powers to open up another set of gigantic boulders. They walked into the most beautiful sight they've ever seen.

there was a giant fire like bird emitting what seems to be like a spiral of fire around a girl who was dancing ecstatically without a worry in the world.

it ended way to quickly though, because the Salamence had cried out his name.

the fire stopped, the girl looked at Moltres confused on why he stopped before he used his beak to turn the girls head towards Salamence.

she noticed the Salamence before she even noticed the people following behind, "Salamence! Oh my Sal are you okay what happened?!"

Salamence cried its name a couple times, his trainer immediately getting what he was saying.

"a landslide?! oh Sal I'm so sorry this is my fault if I hadn't let you go alone you wouldn't be in this m-"his trainer was cut off with Salamence shaking his head rapidly as if telling her to not take the blame.

Luna grabbed an Oran Berry and fed her distraught Pokémon, she was gonna put Salamence into his Pokéball and take him to the Pokémon Center but Espeon jumped on top of Sals head, bowing her head down in shame as she cried her name as well," eh?! you brought people here?!"

Luna quickly went around her Pokémon to see him. it was that boy Ash and his friends.

"uh hello we were the ones who found your Salamence." the blonde boy answered while sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

they were shocked when she bent down on one knee and put her head down, "thank you for helping my Pokémon they are my family, i owe you greatly."

"it was no problem but if I may ask, it says here on my map that there's not even supposed to be a cave here?" Professor asked.

"and what kind of Pokémon is that behind you?" The small blonde child asked.

"yes about that well i-" Luna looked back at the Moltres questionably, who nodded in response which meant he trusted this group of people.

they say Pokémon can sense a bad persons aura, so Luna trusted her Pokémon tremendously.

"you may have heard about legendary Pokémon, the most elite and one of a kind Pokémon's? well this here is Moltres, he is one of them."

they all gaped when the firebird raised his head, having to look up at him cause he was so tall.

"my name is Lunar but please call me Luna, i am what you would say the chosen one or the guardian of the legendary Pokémon."

"you're the guardian!!?" they all yelled in unison, shocked that someone so tiny can be so powerful. they've all heard the myths but they never thought it was real.

"indeed, i was also raised by Pokémon and this cave is hidden by Espeon with her psychic abilities."

"raised by Pokémon? well then how'd you learn to speak?" the blonde boy asked confused.

"i wish i knew myself, it just came to me." Luna responds.

"so you never had the chance to be a normal kid? you spent your whole life protecting these Pokémon?" the small blonde asked unaware of how rude it sounded, which visibly saddened the hazel-eyed trainer.

"Bonnie! that was rude of you, please apologize!" The blonde boy next to her said, which made Bonnie pout.

"oh no, no need to be sorry it's ok Bonnie was it?" Bonnie nodded, "i owe my life to these Pokémon, they are my family and if anything they protect me." Luna giggled looking up at Moltres.

Bonnie gaped at the trainer, her words touched Bonnie that she got down on two knees as if begging and said," wow you're so strong and caring please take care of my brother Clemont!!"

"eh?!?!? Bonnie I've told you to stop doing that!!"  Clemont said, a mechanical arm coming from his backpack grabbed her.

"would you- would you like to travel with us? we can experience the regions all together!" Ash spoke, surprising the girl in front of them.

why would they want her to travel with them? with someone they just met? he had to be quite insane to trust people so easily

Luna was completely flabbergasted, not knowing what to say.

"its okay if you don't we'd totally understand!" Clemont added on, noticing her behavior.

"i'd love too I've never been able but im afraid i cannot- i just have to stay and prot-" Luna was cut off when she felt Moltres push her toward the group.

she stumbled over falling on something soft, or rather - someone.

"eep- i- im sorry! i didn-" she got cut off again when he laughed and shook his head, " i think Moltres agrees with us!" Ash spoke as Luna stood up giving Moltres a playful glare for that little stunt he pulled.

she looked at the group, they all had no hesitation to welcome her with open arms, it reminded her of her Pokémon. the ones who saved her.

she looked back up at Moltres, who nodded in response. he was telling her to go be a normal kid and that they'll all be fine. Moltres truly believed she deserved this.

Lunas eyes brimmed with tears and hugged the closest thing to her, which was Ash but the others soon joined in.

"ill take you under my wing since youll need to have a guardian to get a Pokédex and enter leagues if you want." The Professor said, making Luna cry even more as she hugged the Professor tightly.

"we can compete in leagues together and become Pokémon Masters!! I mean if you want!" Ash yells, happy that he made a new friend.

in this moment, Luna couldn't have been any happier.
