Alright For Tonight (Luna x Reader)

You laid down in the sand as it burned your flesh. You had no idea how you got here and you had every intent to leave. You tried to get up, but the sand kept grasping at you. Eventually, you looked up and could see a palm tree. This palm tree began to lower its trunk and leer at you. Its fruits soon changed to giant heads, all opening their mouths as fangs began to show.

"Exeggutor..." They hummed as one of the heads began to reach closer and closer to you, ready to eat.

-_-_-_-

"AAAAAAH!" You woke up out of your bed, heart racing. This was the second night you had that monster haunt your dreams. You got out of bed almost instantly and got out of your house via an open window. It had been three days since you moved to the Alola Region. Your dad insisted that you would get used to it, but quite frankly, you thought you'll never love your new home.

You ran to the beach and stood out, feet in the wet sand as the water occasionally touched them. You could see just in the distance a blur of a tall building, though its distinct shape helped you recognize it as Prism Tower, the landmark of your old home region: Kalos. You judged the distance.

It was definitely reachable. You stepped into the water. Despite the heat of the region, the water was surprisingly arctic levels of cold. As soon as you went knee-deep, you ran out and panted. You looked back to the water. You remembered the friends you made.

Trevor.

Tierno.

Shauna.

But most important of all.

You remembered Serena. You remembered the last moment you had with her before you moved. You loved her, but you could never tell her straight up. You gripped your fists. You were not going to let any exterior force separate you from her. You were not going to let some water separate you from Kalos.

You got into the water again. This time you shrugged off the cold as hit washed over your body. After the initial shock, it began to feel like normal, warm temperature water. You knew the basics of swimming, not enough to be an athlete, but just enough to swim competently.

Or so you thought.

As you made a good foot into the swim, waves began to form up and knock you back to the shore. You tried and tried to swim, but the waves kept bringing you back. You'd bring out your Pokemon to help you surf, but then you remembered your dad's' weird insistence to dump them with Professor Sycamore.

Enraged, you made a ball of sand as big as a fist and flung it into the water. You then sank to your knees and began to silently weep. Though something helped break your despair.

A girl's laughter.

"Those waves... They're pretty hard to outmaneuver." You turned to see a girl, about your age, with black hair, blue eyes, a simple yellow floral shirt, green shorts, and wore a red cap that looked almost like a chicken head. Perched on her shoulder was a spherical owl. You recognized this owl as one of the three starters you were offered. You refused to pick a starter, though. Nothing would replace your Greninja. In fact, thinking about that and the girl rubbing in your failures made you look to the waves and cry a bit more.

"Gumshoos..." You then saw a mongoose with a blonde hairdo walk up to you, then you look around you before marking an X just by your leg.

"Ah! Good work, Gumshoos!" The girl went over to the X. "Hey, can you move for a sec?" She asked you. You sighed and got up. As you walked away from the X, she told her Gumshoos to dig into the X. It began to dig until it noticed some chalk white sand. This was weird because most of the sand in this area was more of a grayish white. This sand obviously stood out. What made it stand out more was a red shovel. It didn't even look like it was there for a while.
