Hello! If you perhaps manage to stumble upon this by accident or just sheer randomness, then let me welcome you to my first attempt at a one-shot. It's set in the sevii islands, which has now been overun with an army of shadow pokemon. This isn't particually long so if you don't like that, I bid thee farewell. Anyways, Enjoy!
Time was running out. Go, go. I pushed my body to its very limits to secure I arrived at my destination. Below me, the grass was cascading into elegant swirls thwarting me from keeping track of the ground troops. Peach petals from nearby flowers ascended upwards through the speed I had created, darting themselves at me. They didn’t come close.
Instead the flow of air created an impenetrable shield, whipping the petals into the rays of the illustrious sun, swaying and twirling before resting on the blades of the scorched grass. Torrents of shimmering water geysered from the calm streams, bouncing effortlessly of the craggy rocks. The sound of flapping wings reached my ears.
Instinctively I dived into the depths of the waters, my reflection being cast throughout. At first my vision was disoriented, sharp daggers of ice pounding against my skin. My legs cried of relief as I released them from their crammed position. Salt and rushing waves swept passed my face, robbing me of the view above. Normal ripples in the water were magnified to increasing magnitudes of power. The lake shook in fear, trembling from the sound waves produced.
Almost immediately, my body was stunned by the barrage of pressure inflicted on my fur. A dizzy feeling took control, seizing my psychic power and disabling them. Bubbles came floating out of my mouth. The frigid ice rendered my wings useless. It was as if the creek were a monster that hated me and would never let me go.
I was slammed into rocks and swept me on before I could get hold of the cold, smooth surfaces. And in a few minutes, I was going to be too weak to keep her head above water. My brain turned numb from the increasing pain of the glacial spears. My time would be at an end if I didn’t emerge from this icy torment. My brain was suffocating, unable to function. I could not draw breath, every part of me being compressed almost pass my endurance.
I thought my demise was near; I might die under this merciless prison before the invisible bands restraining me seemed to burst open, finding myself in cool sparkling sands, breathing in lungfuls of fresh, salty air. The blinding, white sand stretched for what seemed like forever. Silver spheres illuminated themselves, flashing wildly. A beam of satin white blasted through the sky, breaking the clumps of clouds gathered. A light, chilly breeze ruffled my fur.
Before me stood a capacious temple. Its golden brown texture was disintegrating under the immense force of the universal power concealed inside. A radiant purple glow basked the island, trapping me in its enigmatical prison.
An angelic feeling cleansed my insides of any worries. As if my horizons had expanded almost to infinity in an instant. As if I’d discovered a new dimension. As if there were no limits or obstacles. I felt… free. As if on cue, rainbow beams locked together in an effort to shatter this heavenly state. Glints of purity floated elegantly towards me, leaving an icy fury on my dew.
Enraged, I let my inner emotions rise to the surface, letting loose a blinding sphere of glistening light from my body. The past scenery had returned, the mysterious realm gone. Two Dewgong lay in a peaceful state, wispy shadows gliding along the breeze of the air.
These two had obviously been contaminated by my foes. My luster purge had released the spirits that gripped their souls. I knew they were near, locking on to my co-ordinates. I was nearly at my goal, close to ending this war. Without thought I sped inside the temple.
That same feeling was in here, peeking and spying whoever intruded these holy grounds. A portal was in the middle, sucking in the withered sands. My heart skipped, fear taking over. I had to make the ultimate sacrifice for the welfare of my people. “ENXO FALGO!”
The ancient carvings on the wall sprang to life, homing in on my life readings. Even though they had no faces, I could tell they were burdened with sadness. I could not read them, for they were in a foreign language.
Slowly, they gathered. The hole expanded, feeding these creatures with unparallel power. Circling me, a blue glow emitted from their bodies. The process was working. I could only hope their leader was being purged at this very moment. Their velocity increased, creating a barrier of wind to trap me. My life was ebbing away. I could not take this world anymore, and the black enigmas unleashed their full fury upon my body. My last thought was of my sister, but she could cope. I shut his eyes, waiting for them to consume him. Death would be my escape.
