Return To The Camp , Memories

Laila and her Pokémon along with the new addition Marshadow rested in the Hidden Space for a few hours. Then they started to pack things and return to the camp, so they collected the berries they gathered and started to get ready to set off.

Laila POV: -

Just as I start to return, I turn to the huge Spiritomb.

"Hey!! Spiritomb." I call him.

"Spirtomb" The voice echoes in the hidden space.

"I'd like you to meet my Spiritomb and guide it in any way you like in the areas it lacks like attack, defense or moves. Can you help me to train my Spiritomb?" I ask the Ancient giant Spiritomb.

The Spiritomb hovers in the air for a few seconds before agreeing to my request.

"Really !!!! you agree. Thanks, Spiritomb." Happy that it agreed, I take out my Spiritomb poke ball and release him.

"Come on out Spiritomb!!!" From my poke ball my Spiritomb. It looks around and greets me, then suddenly it freezes seeing the giant Spiritomb.

"No need to be afraid Spiritomb, here is your senior and help you to improve your skills, so be good and learn from him okay? I'll come and pick you up at the end of the month, alright." I tell my Pokémon, but it is still freezing up looking at the giant Pokémon in front of him.

I suddenly start to feel sorry for him, as I can see the giant Pokémon is secretly trying to plot something scary for mine. But I steel my mind, it is for making him strong, so he must face some hardships. So, I do a silent prayer for my Pokémon.

"Okay Spiritomb, do your best I'm rooting for you. I know you can live through it. So, bye." With that I quickly make my escape with Marshadow leading the way.

As we exit the Hidden Space a loud cry resounds throughout the forest.

"Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiitooooooooooooooomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Without looking back, we quickly navigate through the forest to reach the camp.

--

After half an hour we reach the camp site, and I see all my young Pokémon do some sparing.

Currently Murkrow and Vullaby are sparing in an aerial battle, both of them are quite tired and preparing their final attack Murkrow is preparing a huge Dark Ball and Vullaby is preparing Dark pulse.

Both of them release the attacks at the same time, then a huge explosion takes place and smoke covers the camp. As the smoke clears both of the Pokémon appear to all Pokémon and Vullaby starts to fall from the sky slowly. Before it crashes into the ground it run and catch Vullaby.

"Great battle Vullaby, now rest." I speak gently towards it, and Vullaby falls asleep quickly in her arms.

"Good all of you are working hard while I was away and not slaking of. As it is almost dinner time you all can take a break, we brought berries, so come on all of you recover your energy and take good rest."

"Tomorrow we all will be taking an intense training course" I speak to all my Pokémon softly and praise them for their hark work in guarding the camp while I was away.

As I tell them where we went, I introduce Marshadow to them.

"Okay everyone, we have a new family member come all of you say hello to him." As I say I show Marshadow to them.

"Okay this is Marshadow a Mythical Pokémon, come all of you say hello to him don't be shy." I encourage them and they slowly start to warm up and start playing with him and looking at him as no one ever say a Pokémon like him.

*You do not have to do this I could have stayed in your shadow* Marshadow speaks to me via Telepathy.

"You need to warm up to young Pokémon first and, everyone needs a family to support themselves in the world. You had Spiritomb as your friend for thousands of years, but other Pokémon respect you but not as a family member but as a Guardian and Leader. So, I want you to start forming new relations, so you won't be lonely anymore." I say to him with emotion as I know the feeling of loneliness.

*Fine, I will give it a try. * Marshadow says with a slight pause and starts to speak with the other young Pokémon in the camp.

"I'll introduce you to my other Pokémon when we leave the camp, as they all live int he houses with grandpa back in the town." I inform Marshadow.

*Hmmm, I will follow you in whatever you want. So, we will do as you say. * Marshadow replies.

"Oh! and also since you have followed me from the beginning you should have been acquainted with my monster of a Pokémon, haven't you?" I ask him a serious question.

*Yes! we have met. He was the first one to discover me, but I told him to keep silent and told him that I will reveal myself to you when the time comes. After that he was silent for few seconds before warning me that if I harm you, he will end me and disappeared. * It told me the details with slight fear in its eyes.

Falling quiet, I still remember the first day we met. That Pokémon was badly injured, he attacked everything that moved even I was injured but I persisted and calmed it down, by helping it cure its injuries and make it come back to health. The injuries it suffered were quite heavy, since then we have been together and travelled all the regions and faced many tribulations together. Reminiscing, suddenly Marshadow calls me loudly.

*LAILA!!!*

"AAAaaaaa " I suddenly wake up from my memory.

*You were spacing out* he tells me.

"Oh! that I was just remembering a few things. Also sorry on behalf of him, he just does not trust others very much and even grandpa doesn't know about him. You know in fact no one knows about him other than you and me that I have him. But he went back to his home to settle a few things. He told me that he will finish them and come back soon, but I do not know when." I tell him this information.

*I-It's okay no need. he is very strong in fact the second strongest Pokémon I have ever seen in my long life. * he tells me still in some what a scared tone.

"Oh!!!!!! you have seen a strong Pokémon other than my monster, who is that Pokémon?" I ask him slightly intrigued.

*He is -----*
