(Very XD)
Skye waved farewell to Bri and turned away, heading in the opposite direction. Then he paused and repacked his backpack, placing Pala inside. He put the top over hear head, causing her to peek her head out in confusion and stare as she was lifted up. Now Skye started to jog. His eyes glowed with excitement. "Looks like you're ready Skye," Rama stated happily. "Ready to find answers."
"Mm," Skye agreed. He knew plenty about Pokemon, from books, experience, and lessons. But there was always more that could be learned, understood, unlocked even. The stories that were left in places, in people. He wanted to know them, to find them and then make his own story. It was an odd goal but to him, the journey was fun. And the knowledge gained... was better than money.
Besides, beating trainers earned cash.
The area around the abandoned building was quiet, people were clearly afraid to make noise. Or even Pokemon were afraid, who knew?
Skye released Ellie, who surprisingly did not fly off the handle excitedly. Even she knew to be careful during this time, especially with the Soothe Bell on. Pala was looking around curiously, too interested to make noise. Skye sighed to himself. "Leh-het's geh-het stuh-started. Or-Origin Finding." The Pokemon nodded and Skye observed the decrepit building. Psychic and Ghost types are likely drawn here by the spirits that likely stay here... could somebody or many people have died here? Or is this just a place that feels safe? Dark types are mostly feared or looked down upon in some cases. So this place would seem like a haven.
Shrugging to himself, he entered the building. Whatever it took, he would get a lot of information and some strength. He wondered if a Pokemon would be involved too. He coughed a few moments after his Pokemon. The air was dusty and slightly wet. "Have to feel bad for old buildings," Ellie remarked dispassionately.
"Eh-heh, it suits us just fine!" A Zorua was padding along the hallway, the normally red parts of its fur blue. She saw Rama and grinned.
"Hey, we're identical," they said together and laughed. Skye smiled at this. They came closer
THe Zorua sat back, pawing one ear. "What's with all the humans here today?" she muttered. "Couple of kids have been here already, a couple the other day. The two today though, man one of them was stupid, had to be carried out all bleeding and stuff..."
"Thuh-hat kih-hid," Skye remembered seeing them rush past. Zorua shrugged.
"Eh, he's probably still alive. He left blood on the carpet though," the Dark-type added, pointing at the dried stains. Ellie winced and Skye nodded.
"Whuh-hy are you heh-here?" Skye asked suddenly, feeling suspicious.
Zorua shrugged. "I'm bored. People don't talk to me because I'm a different color and stuff. I gotta fight all the time so... it's cool not too, I guess...." Her eyes narrowed. "Hey will you try that?"
"No way," rama replied playfully. "One of me's enough." Ellie snickered. Zorua relaxed.
"Okay then, we shall be awesome buddies then... or something." Skye laughed. It would be worth visiting here again to meet this Pokemon again. They were still walkin when Skye suddenly paused. Something was tingling against his chest. The boy looked down and picked up his pendant, the gem in the gold having a small, pale blue light around it. "What's with the light show?" Zorua asked.
SKye shrugged. "Ih-hit's neh-never done thih-thih-this."
"Well it is a protective charm," Ellie commented, sniffing around. "Maybe it's finding something we haven't yet."
"Probably is," the Zorua remarked. "Come on, let's get moving. You guys will need to be in a safe spot until nightfall."
"Why then?" Ellie asked as they followed the shiny Pokemon down the halls.
She just grinned. "Everything starts up at night. Few Pokemon are out now. And when it's dark out... she roams the halls."
"Shuh-he?" SKye repeated.
Zorua shrugged. "A little dead girl. Supposedly when she visited this island with her father, she was killed by a rampaging Pokemon. This dorm was built over the place where she died. Don't know why she's here," the Pokemon commented, entering a room and shutting the door after them. "Don't really care. But she enjoys scaring people along with the Pokemon she met. Something called...Rotom I think."
"How will we be safe in here anyway?" Rama muttered, looking around. Zorua pointed toward a Chingling and an Abra, the latter of which was sleeping.
"Chingling's my buddy. She doesn't like violence so it's fine." Skye wasn't so sure about that but the Zorua wouldn't offer anything else. He needed a rest anyway. It wouldn't do to have another incident mid-mission. So he sat down and let Ellie take guard. She seemed up for it.
(Rotom is not a legendary. I doubt he'll appear anyhow, unless Jack wants it to.
