Interesting

Sky was running towards the direction of the Alamos Town in full speed. He saw it. He definitely saw it. And he was sure that it was definitely not happy to see him.

In just a minute, Sky was able to reach a small garden in the Alamos Town. It was there. Floating, waiting for him.

"Why were you spying on me with hostility?"

Sky asked it.

"You knew about it. Didn't you? That's why you ran away just before the incident. How did you know? Why did you not tell me then?"

"You were sleeping on my bed that I can just wake you up and tell you?"

"You could have-"

"Don't make things complicated and I knew that the incident was going to be solved anyway and all the people would have a happy ending... probably. So I went away."

"If you knew that the incident was going to have a happy ending, why didn't you stay then?"

"Oi, I am not here to play KBC with you. I didn't want to be in the trouble so I went away. Happy."

"My town was nearly destroyed, nearly destroyed you know. If you had told me, then I would have tried to do something before the incident."

"That's just you trying to escape reality. Even if I have told you everything, nothing would have changed. Your town wasn't responsible for the incident. It just got caught up in the aftermath of another separate incident and you can't change that... Plus I have also lost many things, atleast you have a town left, rejoice for this much."

"You are a mismatch of various intents that finally got balance."

"You are the product of an unrequited love that will never be yours."

"Don't cross your boundaries!"

"Aren't we insulting each other(?) because the previous taunt felt like an insult to me."

"That's a fact, you really had mismatched intent in you, a weird intent that made your intentions divided, your memories separated and your will hollow."

"That's a fact too. Your love can never be fulfilled as the person had already separated from the world, divided into life and death and all those cool sounding stuff."

"I told you to not cross your boundaries!!"

"You are doing the same. I don't want to hear about that. It brings bad memories."

"Then just say so."

"I did try to indirectly hint you."

"You humans never say things directly."

"I thought an old fossil like you would be able to understand the hidden meanings."

"You are a weird human."

"You are a weird Pokemon."

"What happened to your Darkrai? It didn't come inside the Town when it sensed me."

"He didn't want to come inside you may–"

*Whoosh*

"Do all Legendaries have short temper, don't just fire a hyper beam just because you like it."

"You are the reason for it and tell me the actual reason why Darkrai isn't with you?"

"He isn't mine. Once was... now isn't. I freed it when he wanted to leave me. Two weeks ago. So less time had passed since then!"

"Why are you asking me that?"

"Just got a little surprised for I thought a lot of time has passed yet not even a month passed since I started my dream."

"Time is relative to everyone. For some a year is a lot while for some, decades don't feel that much."

"Yeah, yeah, my Devdas Einstein, you will definitely win the Nobel poetry prize."

"Now you are insulting me."

"I just wanted to ask, you didn't understand the indirect hint at the beginning then how did you get the dirty joke of min–"

*SWOOSH*

"What are you planning to do?"

"Don't just suddenly attack and act like nothing happened."

"Your voice and intent doesn't seem surprised though. You already know that I will attack on those things yet you ask."

"You already knew that I know that you will attack me yet you attacked."

"Knowing the future doesn't mean that you can change it."

"That's why I said that me telling you about the incident would have changed nothing. Nothing at all."

"You... got me there. What is your name?"

"You already know."

"I want to hear it from you."

"What are you? Some maiden in love? Ohh, I forgot, you actually are~ don't attack, My name is Sky. My actual name is Jerome. I took the name of the person that I really admire as my new name. What's yours?"

"I don't have a name as all those that existed before just called me Darkrai."

"Then I will call you Kurogiri or Kaalia is also a good one, you are also tall, Kaalia fits you."

"Don't make fun of me."

"Then I will call you Raven. Taken from the Ravenholdt manner."

"Are you listening to me?"

"You want to leave here right."

"... How do you know?"

"I had a captain who was really perceptive even though he did not have any mercy or emotions. He once said this sentence to all of us. Each of us had our stories and all of us were saved by him in one manner or another. It was his most used line that he used when he recruited us. Your case is similar to a person I know. Really similar, so I thought that you were thinking of that."

"That doesn't make that much sense."

"Well, people like you... doesn't go to others even when you need help or want their company. You don't open up to others but when you took the first step, it becomes hard to stop just there. You want to go ahead, to reach the end, to experience the inexperienced. People like you, all they need is just a single push and then you tread on your own path, regardless of good or bad, evil or justice, you don't care."

'That's how people either become druggers or something else, something good or something evil. For a person like that things just need to be done once, be it taking drugs or killing or rape, it becomes harder to control the urge for the second time from then. The harder someone tries to control it, the more enticing it seems. That's how seriel killers and Psychopaths came to be. You don't need a criminal history to become one. You never do.'

"Yeah I do want to leave here."

"Why?"

"This place has new guardians now."

"They could never be as good as you."

"They are not alone though. They have friends and comrades that will always aid them."

"Friends and comrades are the synonyms of the same word. But you trust humans that much."

"Humans have gained my trust and just because there are a few bad people doesn't mean that the whole humanity is bad. Even among us, there exists Pokemons that doesn't like humans or hates humans to the bones. Those factors doesn't depend on the thinking of an individual, and those too will change someday."

"You are pretty sure for a Pokemon that never left this city."

"I have spent a lot of my time here and I know that things are changing, what we consider as bad will cease to exist someday and something else... someone else would have taken its place. The fight between good and evil will continue for ages to behold."

"Is that a Star Wars reference that you are giving me? That big eyed fish women said the same thing."

"You say the most of the weirdest things you know."

"Ha ha ha I am built different."

"So you were spying on me because you wanted to come with me?"

"As a companion, I do. As a pokemon, I don't."

"Why?"

"You should know it from other humans."

"Ohh, trying the mystery route huh. Well then I am also happy to welcome you as I really need all the help that I can muster, plus you are far stronger than the Darkrai that I know."

"That kid is just a few decades old. Probably no more than 50 years whereas I am more than a hundred years old. I will of course be stronger than him."

"Why me? Have you not seen that kid with the Pikachu, doesn't he seem like a good companion than me."

"He is. Not just him, there are many more of trainers that are more better than you."

"Then why?"

"He is too pure. Cresselia may be extremely fond of him but I will just cause trouble for him. I am a nightmare Pokemon and living with me can cause a change in heart."

"That still doesn't answer my question though."

"Only those that had strong enough will or had experienced can be freed from the effects. That kid with the Pikachu is still too young. In five or ten years, he would be a nice companion but now, he isn't."

"Your words just depressed me you know. Even though I am not feeling it now."

"You are weird, you have already died, your mentality should be twisted yet you are fine. Something must have protected you. For now, you are the perfect host to have plus I will return here in a few years."

"Well Alamos Town is a good place to live the rest of my life. I can even buy a lot of unused land for my future generations."

"You really are a weird human."

"Nah. I just a home to return to, not some four walls house but a home. A place that I can call my home."

"You really are a weird person. And don't you dare catch me in a Pokeball."

"I am not that stupid and if you want your freedom then you can have it. I can't and won't be able to restrain or restrict you in any way."

"So I will be staying in your shadow for the meantime then. I will come out when I want to though."

"Yeah, you can do whatever you want but food and other things is my responsibility."

"What would you gain from that?"

"Trust me, you will take your back."

"We will see."

Darkrai or Raven looked at the garden for one last time.

He went inside the shadow of Sky.

"Another protective measure added."

"I can hear you just fine."

"Yeah, you can and please take care of me partner."

"..."

Sky whispered and went towards his Pokemons.
