Pokemon: Shadow Hunter (Story 2)

Chapter 12: Father

Angel's Pov

Many emotions have overcome Blade's heart like a wild ride in such a short time, with a sudden sense of fear, guilt, relief and sadness. I worried of what his heart was doing with everything happening all at once.

I do not know how or why he suddenly thought of his sister. I may not know him well enough to know how often he thinks of her in his own time, but I am glad I was able to provide some relief to his heart to make him feel better.

He was able to sleep during the night while I stayed up to look out the window to watch the full moon "Blade would be upset if he saw that I was awake" I told Shuppet looking outside with me "My sleep schedule had developed more sleep since I came to this world, but I cannot sleep now" I frowned, thinking back on the nightmare I saw before I woke up covered in sweat.

"Shuppet... Do you think father is using me?" Shuppet looked at me as I thought back at what the wisps were telling me in my nightmare "I cannot remember the last time I had a nightmare" I held my head "they told me that father took me away from my family... It would make sense if I had a family that looked like me. Why was I the only human in the Distortion world? How did I end up there in the first place?"

"Shu..." Shuppet frowned at me.

"I cannot know unless I ask father myself. To think I never questioned my existence until I met Flora. She was the reason why I longed for her world and made me wonder why I could not go with her when she left" I went over to grab my bag and jacket and look at Blade still sleeping "I need to go for a walk to think things through. Shall we?" Shuppet cheered and followed me out the door.

I walked around the quiet city with a few streetlights shining my way and sat down on a bench to look up at the moon again. I held onto my Griseous Orb and sighed "I miss you father... I have so many questions I never got the chance to ask you"

"Shu..." Shuppet frowned and floated away. I went to follow it and saw a tiny house with a glass through the door, containing books.

"This is adorable! Am I free to take some?" I looked around the little house to make sure "It's in a public setting... It would have been nice to ask Blade what this is" I took out a few books to read the titles "How to train a Dragon-type, The boy who cried Zorua, College Algebra Exam Prep, Nutrition and Wellness, Between the two Princes of Unova, D-I-Y projects, and D-I-Y soaps... what is a D-I-Y?" I asked.

"Shu?" Shuppet was just as confused as me. I looked inside the door to read a sign.

"If you like more free books, visit the library on Tangela Street... Shuppet, they really are free! Should we take them? I want to read while on the road! I do not want to slow Blade down when I want to go to a library every time we arrive at a new place" Shuppet nodded and assisted me to hold them in my arms "I cannot wait to find more of these little houses" I smiled excitedly.

"Shu..." Shuppet and I sensed a few corrupted hearts beating hard from sudden energy. We turned when we heard some guys laughing amongst themselves before they found their way to me.

"Oh, what's a cute little lady in little shorts doing out here in the cold?" One of the men out of four stared at my bare legs. I wanted to leave as soon as possible from the rental room, so I did not have time to put on my pants and walked out in my pajama shorts that Blade commented were too small and I should be careful with anyone who might stare at me, but they were the ones Bianca gave me. I could tell just by looking at these men staring at them that they were feeling a way I was horrified of.

"Shuppet... Help me out here" as much as I did not want to battle, it was my best option to protect myself since I did not put on my running shoes.

I waited for Shuppet to get in front of me, but it wasn't around "Shuppet?" I squealed when my wrist was grabbed harshly, causing me to drop the books out my arms.
