Living in the forest wasn’t THAT bad.

Sustenance like food and drink were free, and so was companionship. Everyday, you spent time with the Pokémon that stepped up to be your parental figures.

And for that, you learnt to understood Pokémon, and had normal everyday conversations with them. Like, how’s the weather and all that.

However, this simple and blissful life is soon blown to bits when a man from the outside world arrives with cruel intentions. Spotting you in the distance, he smiled.

“And what do we have here? A defenceless little child… how quaint.” Ghetsis spoke. The sight of a newcomer alerted the Darmanitan, who brought you behind its arm protectively. Leavanny was more than ready to slice him into sashimi, and so was Zorua.

‘Who’s this schmuck?’ Zorua’s words may have sounded like gibberish to Ghetsis (or pretty much anyone in general), but not to you.

‘Don’t know, but he smells like danger.’ Darmanitan said back.
