EPISODE 44: The Ideal vision!

Pokemon have feelings. They're like humans, their feelings can be hurt, their feelings can be crushed. Once a feeling is crushed, broken, crumbled into pieces, it can alter one's personality, value, or characteristic. Petilil, Camellia's shy Pokemon was left by her former trainer. Her trainer said that he'll return to get Petilil back, but his trainer never returned. This lowered Petilil's confidence, this is what made Petilil shy.

It was time to move to along route eight, the first route leading to Photia-heart city. But this time, it's different, Petilil will join Camellia in her journey to become a Pokemon professor. Petilil may seem shy at first, but surely one day, when the bonds of both trainer and Pokemon collide, their values and characteristics combine as one.

It was the peak of the day, around one o'clock in the afternoon, when we all decided to take an afternoon nap. It was hot and sunny at that time, so it was a perfect time to boost some energy. Riolu, Zorua, Scyther, were all sleeping beside me. They love sleeping by my side. There's one problem though, my snore annoys them to pieces, and for today's chapter, Zorua was the victim.

Zzz... Zzzz... I slept humbly in my tent together with Riolu, Scyther, and Zorua. My snore got louder and annoying but it didn't affect Riolu and Scyther.

Zzz... Zzz... I continued to sleep peacefully. Zorua on the other hand, was getting annoyed as it was getting uncomfortable.

"Hmph, Kalem's snore is so annoying," Zorua uttered in his mind as she yawned and stretched. She went out of the tent to feel some air.

She saw Petilil walking around the grass looking bored. So, as a friend, Zorua came to comfort Petilil and play with her.

"Hey Petilil, can't sleep?" Zorua queried.

Petilil hid behind the bushes, looking shy and scared. Although she met Zorua, Petilil didn't feel comfortable.

"Hey Petilil, you don't have to be scared. We're friends right? Remember me? Zorua?"

"Oh, Zorua... Ar... Are you going to hurt me? Did I do something wrong?" Petilil felt cautious.

"I'm not bad silly! I love to play, wanna play tag?" Zorua queried.

"Tag? Wh... What's a tag?" Petilil asked.

"You know, you have to run then I have to chase you! It's a fun game." Zorua smiled.

"I'll pass for now..."

"I know! Why don't we go to a patch of flowers?" Zorua suggested.

"Flowers? I love flowers, but where are we going to find a patch of flowers?" Petilil asked as she came out of her hiding spot.

"Then, since everyone is asleep, let's go to the forest and find some flowers," Zorua suggested.

"But what if we get lost? What if we get hurt? Who's going to save us?" Petilil overthought.

"Stop overthinking and follow me, we'll be back before they know it!" Zorua smiled.

Petilil agreed as both of them went to the forest to find some beautiful flowers. Petilil loves flowers of any kind! May it be Dandelion or even a Tulip! Petilil adores flowers.

"Hey Zorua, I think we're lost..." Petilil began to worry as she hid behind Zorua.

"No need to worry! I know the way back." Zorua answered with confidence.

"Y... Are you sure? I want to go back to Camellia." Petilil cried in fear.

"Don't cry, you're too scared! This is the wilderness! A lot of Pokemons, a lot of trees, and a lot of flowers." Zorua described.

"Fine... I trust you, just don't lead us to danger." Petilil begged.

"I laugh at the face of danger! Ha Ha Ha!" Zorua teased.

"I hate danger, it keeps me sad, alone, scared, frightened..."

"Are you always this sensitive? Stop forcing yourself to cry." Zorua teased.

"I'm not crying, I'm sobbing... that's all." Petilil uttered softly.

"Sobbing and crying are just the same."

Zorua and Petilil saw a huge flower field! As they saw the field, they jumped right into it! The flower field made the ground colorful and neat. It was like a rainbow formed in the grass.

"Flowers are so bouncy..." Petilil uttered with a shy voice.

"I know right! That's why I love flowers."

Petilil sniffed a sunflower as the aroma enters her nostrils. Zorua in the meantime, ran across the flowers and started to sprint with joy. As Zorua was running, something strange called her name.

"Zorua... Zorua..." It was the voice, the voice that only Zorua could hear. Zorua got surprised, she wasn't able to stop right away. As a result she bumped her head on a tree.

"Zorua, are you hurt?" Petilil ran towards Zorua looking worried sick!

"I... I'm ok, I just heard something that's all." Zorua explained as the voice called her again. "Zorua... Zorua...."

"Hey Zorua, you seem to be bothered by something, are you sure everything is alright?"

"Umm, yeah Petilil! I'm fine, you go play in the flowers I have to do something." Zorua excused.

"Just don't go too far, don't even think of leaving me here alone."

"Got it!" Zorua uttered as she walked around in circles beside a tree.

"It's you again? Seriously?"

"Zorua... Zorua..." the voice uttered softly.

"I'm here! What do you want? You want me to go inside your nightmare again?" Zorua teased.

"Enter... Enter Zorua, it is time for the third golden ring."

Zorua did what the voice said, she fell asleep and entered the mind of the nightmare beast.

Once Zorua woke up in the mind of the voice, she saw four golden rings circling her.

"The plan is on track... The third golden ring must be visioned unto them..."

"Your timing is impeccable! Me and Petilil were playing until you showed up!"

"The prophecy is about to unfold..."

"Stop talking about the prophecy! You've told me a billion times what the prophecy is! I've been doing my job properly." Zorua exaggerated.

"Just get to the point and give me the vision!"

"Things must be rushed... They must sprout into the brains and hearts of those who seek and those who are willing." The voice echoed.

"For crying out loud, please give me the ring already! Petilil is probably crying in fear."

"Here is the third golden ring. Once you reach your resting area, show the golden ring immediately to the chosen ones. No one else must see it, only the two of them can." the voice instructed as the third ring descended slowly.

Zorua woke up with the vision on her necklace, she saw Petilil staring at her.

"You've slept for like one hour," Petilil uttered.

"One hour!? We must return back to the resting camp!" Zorua instructed as both of them ran very fast.

"Why are you running?" Petilil queried in confusion.

"I must do something and I'm running late!" Zorua explained.

"What kind of something?" Petilil inquired.

"Just hurry Petilil!"

As soon as they arrived back at the camp, Zorua pulled my leg and woke me up with her barks.

"I'm up Zorua! Stop pulling me." I shouted in surprise.

Zorua ran to Glade's tent and did the same thing. She pulled Glade and barked at him.

Me and Glade rushed outside of our tents quickly, we thought that there was an emergency or somethin'

"OUCH!?" Both of us cried in pain as I and Glade accidentally bumped into each other, just like how we met in the orphan.

The both of us looked at Zorua, it was trying to tell us to follow her, so that's what we did.

"Hey Zorua! Where are you trying to lead us?" I queried.

Out of nowhere Zorua disappeared and we lost track of her.

"Zorua? Zorua?" I shouted, I started to panic. Me and Glade got lost in the forest, and now I have to find Zorua. Zorua was hiding behind a tree as she unleashed the third vision.

A golden ring flew above our heads, it got bigger and bigger. "Kalem, it's one of those rings!"

"You're right Glade, do you think its planning to show us something again?"

"I'm not sure let's see what this ring has to offer."

The golden ring started to display footage.

It was at the time the lab was smoking, I could see the smoke the fire raging. Everything was burning but we saw a long bridge that connected the East Wing and the North Wing of the lab.

Then we saw a tall man, he had scars on his face and a black coat. He was wearing some sort of armor which kept him safe from burning. He was walking slowly but steadily on the bridge.

Two Pokemons landed from the sky. They were walking towards the man with a cape.

"Gen45B and Gen46A! It's so nice to see you." the man with scars greeted.

"What do you want?" Gen45B asked.

"I want you to sign a contract." the man with scars uttered villainously.

"What kind of contract?" Gen46A asked.

"A cooperation, you'll work for me... and in return, I'll make you stronger, I'll make you powerful!"

"We don't want power, what we seek, you cannot answer." Gen45B quoted.

"I'll answer anything... I am the future of this region! The new ruler, the new king. Pokemons like you live to serve humanity."

"That's where you're wrong, Pokemons work with... and not for your selfish deeds," Gen46A uttered.

"I am giving you one last chance, cooperate with me or die!"

"You'll be the one to die!" Gen46A uttered.

The man ran towards them in fear, he was holding some sort of Pokeball that I haven't seen before. He was about to catch the Pokemon, but Gen45B held his neck.

The Pokemon tightened its grip across the man's neck.

"You don't deserve to live... Pokemons were here before your species arrived!"

"The both of you could have been the most powerful Pokemons in the universe. You could have the power of the gods!" the man uttered as the Pokemon threw him off the bridge.

The man fell into the raging flames while the two Pokemons blasted to the sky. The vision ended there, and the golden ring shrank and disappeared.

"Those Pokemons, they were the ones who destroyed the lab," Glade uttered with shock.

"That was our parent's idea right? They made the Pokemon for the purpose of defeating a certain enemy." I uttered.

"Could that man with scars be a certain enemy that was showed to us in previous visions?" Glade wondered.

"You might be right, but we need proof, strong proof. We must head to the cavern and seek for our parents quickly. Then we can ask them about all these gobbledygook." I suggested.

The vision was ideal since the certain enemy was defeated, I think. There's still no proof about the man, about him being the enemy. Who was the man with scars anyway?

Zorua showed up out of nowhere, she led us back to our camp.

"Zorua, don't do such a thing again!" I scolded as we returned back to the camp. Zorua was starting to look suspicious. Every time she played with me and Glade, that's when the ring showed up. Still, there was no certainty, the visions were lacking information. The only way to solve this puzzle is by finding my parents in the cavern of the deep. If anyone has answers, it'll surely be them as the journey continues.
