Winding Woods (1)

After my conversation with Arceus ended, I woke up only to see a pokemon with purple face, blue eyes and four disks shaped hairstyle at each side of its head staring at my face. It was a pokemon called Gothitelle, a psychic type pokemon whose immense psychic power can distort the space around it , showing visions of distant stars and past events. It can predict the future from the placement and movement of stars.

I quickly snapped out at my thought when it suddenly disappear and come back not long after carrying a bottle of something that looked like a milk with it. It then gave the bottle to me and gestured for me to drink it. 

Growl…

Suddenly my stomach growled. Only now that I realize, I haven't eaten anything at all. I then grabbed the bottle and drank it. Delicious. Not long after the bottle became empty. Gothitelle then picked the bottle from my hand, with a face that looked satisfied and disappeared again.

After it disappeared, I examined my surroundings. It seems after I fell asleep, I was brought to some kind of room. Inside this room there's only a bed and a set of chair and table. Oh, there's also a potted flower on top of the table. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but the smell coming from it is calming. It has a soft aroma that permeates the room but not too strong to bother me.

Suddenly, the door opened and from outside came a bipedal foxlike Pokemon with gray fur and a large, red, voluminous mane with black tips, tied into a ponytail. It has a black ruff on its upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which its arms extend.It also has red claws on its hands and feet, It was nonother than the Illusion Fox Pokémon Zoroark.

As it approached my direction, it started to speak.

"Is it the kid who caused the commotion among the Pokémon?" Zoroark said as he approaches. 

"You look so small, how did you come here? I heard you were found near the river and there's a basket nearby, so were you being abandoned by your parents? Poor you, but don't worry since she said she will take care of you from now on" Zoroark then placed its paw at the baby head and started to pat him. 

"Don't worry, If I were to encounter your parent who abandon in the future, I will make sure to give them your revenge. Having said that I don't think you know what I said, but what I want to say is don't think too much and just grow up and be healthy that's all" Having enough of patting, it left.

Then one week passed in a blink of an eyes. During this time, I managed to gather some information from the conversation of Pokémon. 

First is my current location, according to them I was in the deepest part of a forest called Winding Woods, this place is far away from the human settlement and was surrounded by a barrier that created a separate space and prevent someone from outside to come. There's also an illusion casted by the Zoroark Clan so that people didn't reach the deepest part of forest. That's why my appearance caused commotion among the forest residents.

Second is the identity of Gothitelle and Zoroark , the Pokémon that I meet on my first day here. Apparently, that Gothitelle was being called the elder in here. She was the one who maintained the barrier here. Also, according to the younger pokemons who come here, she was also the strongest pokemon in here, excluding the legendary and mystic pokemon.

There's also Zoroark, despite his appearance he is also an important figure who controlled the surrounding illusion inside the whole forest. Beside them, there are several other strong pokemon who live in this forest.

Third is this house, from what they said the building was made around a thousand years ago. The entire house was casted with an auto-cleaning and auto-repair spell by the previous owner, I wonder if the previous owner also remember their past memories like me, since I don't remember the pokemon world have something like spell and magic. The one I remember are only psychic and aura.

Whatever the case is, right now I need to grow up quickly and become stronger again, while also gathering more information. Since I know that while they were friendly, who know what happen in the future. I still need to rely on my own strength in order to survive in this world full of creatures who can easily create fire and thunder out of nothing.
