Legend [OPEN]

[Cyri Hydriai]

I took a deep breath and sat up straight. I didn't really like going into public like this, but Arceus loved it. Besides, I was getting pretty bored up at the pokemon league. There was never anything to do up there but wait for someone to get past the elite four, and barely anyone ever did. Every once in a while, someone did manage to get past, but most of those people got by with luck, not skill, and were way to easy to beat. The only people I enjoy battling are the gym leaders, the elite four, and the old champion. They offer an actual challenge, everyone else is way to weak. I hoped to find a good trainer somewhere around here; someone I could mentor, but whoever it was had to be a good , both at battles and at ethics. I wasn't about to mentor some douchebag who was no good at training pokemon.

Arceus began to to walk through the streets, and people began to notice. I blushed and hugged myself tighter to her back, trying to make myself seem smaller and less noticeable. Arceus always loved it when I rode on her back. I believe she thinks that I need to get out more often. I usually just stayed at the Pokemon League and the Elite Battle House battling the elite four and the gym leaders and playing with my pokemon. Arceus stood up a little straighter as people started to point her out. I smiled, she loved to keep up her image, and I know that Arceus doesn't really have a gender, but I like to think of her as a girl, she just seemed like a girl to me, just like I thought of with Celebi.

I smiled again as people began to pull out their cameras, it's not everyday that people see an Arceus walking through their streets, so I didn't really blame them. If I saw an Arceus when I still lived in Novia City, I probably would have taken a picture. But I still didn't really like the attention. Having pretty bad Anthrophobia and being the Champion isn't really a very good mix, but I manage. I know this might sound strange, but I just like to pretend that everyone has no thoughts or feelings. They're just things that act a certain way or do a certain thing when you do something. I really only think this way when there's a lot of people around and I start to feel uncomfortable, but when it's one on one I find that it's better to acknowledge that they have feelings instead of pretending that they don't.

I hugged Arceus even tighter as people start to crowd around them. I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath, she really hadn't been out in a while. Arceus looked back at me, obviously very concerned. "No, no I'm all right." I mumbled, although I really wasn't, and I'm pretty sure she sensed my lie. She glared at the crowd and reared up on her hind legs, roaring angrily. The people around her gasped, and backed away, and someone scream. I laughed and patted Arceus on her back, loosening her grip. "Thanks." I said, hugging her once and sitting up straight again. She turned her head back around to look at me and made a strange purring sound in her throat. I recognize that sound. That sound rarely comes from an Arceus, and it means more then most people can ever imagine, and they only say it to one person in their entire life. It basically much means "I love you." I hugged her again, and this time I didn't let go. This is why I love my pokemon.

I sipped my water bottle gently, the cool water running down my throat giving me shivers. Today was really hot, not just, oh my, I should wear sunblock. but like, Holy cheese, I'm staying inside today. But no, I had different ideas for how to spend my day. I was a regular trainer with one Pokemon. Hiro was the bright, little, flaming mouse on my shoulder, he licked the top of the bottle and lapped gently at the cold water inside. I laughed lightly ignoring the discomfort of the people around us. I couldn't see what was wrong, it was hot sure, but no fuss for me. Suddenly, Hiro's back lit up in a fiery display of flames, the cyndaquil growled as it stared off at something in the distance. I followed his blank gaze with my own purple eyes to see a white Pokemon towering above the buildings a bit ahead.
"Holy Arceus!" I gasped, holding my palm against my lips. And that was exactly what it was, a blue arceus stood before a crowd of people.
My cyndaquil growled slightly before leaping from my back and running into the sea of people. "HIRO!" I called after him taking off after my friend.
Hiro was like my brother, even if he was a Pokemon I couldn't let anything happen to him. Blood ties were an odd thing, they weren't acquired just through birth rights, but they were built too.
I ran at an equal speed to Hiro and wove through the crowd as I attempted to catch him.
I barely noticed as we both seemed to draw closer to the beast ahead of us. "Hiro?" I asked my purple eyes filling with concern as I watched for his navy blue body, that was when I saw him. He sat with his head up right in front of the arceus' front legs, and then it rose onto it's back legs as it reared in annoyance from the pressing crowd. I gasped watching with fear as my cyndaquil was about to be killed. I dove in after him, wrapping him in an embrace and rolling out of dangers grasp.
I sat with him on my stomach, he seemed scared, as was I. I was suddenly filled with a strong rage as I heard the soft sobbing of a child and the shrieks of a spooked woman.
It filled me with even more as I saw a black haired girl laid nonchalantly on top of the white beast. I growled, Hiro joining in with his own snarl. I ran after them, Hiro in tow as I shouted at her with all the flames of my temper. The cyndaquil's back lit up in a fury of flames, he growled and snarled with his own rage.
"Are you an idiot?! We could have been KILLED! What's wrong with you?!" I yelled.

[Cyri Hydriai]

I opened my eyes, someone hadn't run away, and they were talking. I looked down at them. It was a girl, and a little Cynaquil that I assumed belonged to her. She seemed angry and maybe a little scared, and she was sweating like crazy. I was a little confused to why everyone seemed so hot today, it didn't seem very warm out here to her, in fact, it seemed a little cold. She looked up at the sky, the sun was out and shining brightly, I could almost see heat wave radiating off of it. Of course, that's when I remembered I had an ice Arceus. I mentally facepalmed my stupidity. Of course Arceus was keeping me cool, she always did.

I looked back down at the girl. She was obviously angry, I didn't really know why. I slid down Arceus' back to face the girl. She was a little taller then her, and a little older, but she didn't really mind; she was used to people being that way. I held up my hand to shield the sun from my eyes. It really was bright out today. I couldn't believe I didn't realize what Arceus was doing before, but it's hard to notice something like that while flying, and I guess i was a little distracted when we started walking.

I leaned back against Arceus, who was glaring at the girl and her Cynaquil. I narrowed my eyes, kind of confused by what she said. "Killed? How could we have killed anyone? Arceus was just trying to scared people away, she wouldn't kill anyone. I think if anyone was under her when she came back down she would have known and would have avoided crushing them. She would never kill anybody, not even on accident." I patted her side affectionately. "Are you a trainer, by the way?" I asked, "Because he really seems to like you." I said, pointing to her Cynaquil. This just might be the trainer I was looking for. She seemed pretty new at it, since her Cynaquil was only level ten, and she really seemed to care about her pokemon. I might just be able to teach her something, as long as she didn't mind me being younger then her.

I rolled my eyes, what a bunch of bologna. 8 wasn't as concerned for myself or Hiro as much as the other citizens, they had been pretty spooked. I glanced at my partner who seemed to think the same of the situation. I looked up, the temper slightly simmering, "That's beside the point. You can't just waltz into a crowded street. Even if 'she' wouldn't hurt anyone, doesn't mean they won't get scared, someone will start to panic and eventually, a human stampede, it isn't unusual really." My purple eyes glanced back at the toddler who held tight to his mother's dress, tears brimming his eyes. "You have to be considerate of other people."
I may have seemed like a lit stick of dynamite, but I am not a bully. I try to put the feelings of the weak before the strong. I guess I coukd relate to being in that kind of situation. My eyes narrowed slightly as she seemed to take an interest in Hiro, I might not put it past her to try something.
Are you a trainer? Because he really seems to like you.
I did a sort of double-take and looked at her with a strange expression, "Well, yeah. I mean, me and Hiro have been together for a good 5, 6 years." She said putting my hand gently on his head.

I laughed at the girl's anger. I surprised myself for being so calm, but I could see what the girl was getting at. I may have seemed kind of inconsiderate to scare a bunch of people, but it was for my, and maybe their, who good. I was about to have a panic attack before, and when that happens sometimes I can go a little....crazy. I don't really want to get into details, but let's just say the last time that happened I broke several peoples' bones. Arceus seemed to calm down a little when I asked the girl about her pokemon, I think she understood my intentions.

"Look, it was for their own good, they could have gotten really hurt if they stayed around me any longer, I'm not very good around people, and I didn't really expect to have such a bad reaction to that many people. I almost had a panic attack, and I don't react to my panic attacks like most people so." She sighed, "The only reason I came in here with Arceus is because I was looking for someone, someone like you." She looked at her Cynaquil and then back at her. "So, first off, what's your name?" she asked. Again, she was surprised at how calm she felt towards the girl, and she still felt a little edgy with all the people around, but they weren't so close to her now, and that made it better.

[Terra Mccord]

I sighed, I didn't like giving up, but if it was to end glad pointless argument then so be it. "Fine, whatever, you could have at least went into the backroads to avoid detection, I thought you'd be smart enough to know that." I said shrugging. I glanced back at the her skeptically. "Your looking for someone?" It had taken me a bit, but I finally figured this girl was the champion. I didn't think anything highly of her, champion or not, she had gotten on my nerves. Hiro was still bristling but at least the growling had stopped finally.
I clicked my tongue, a signal for Hiro to jump into my arms, in which he did. My purple eyes focused more on the arceus, it was an ice type, a good one at that too. "So what kind of stuff do you need me for?" Asking what I did was not asignal that I would agree to what she had to say. I was only curious, who wouldn't be?

[Cyri Hydriai]

I sighed, I honestly didn't think that I would attract that much attention, and I didn't think I would react that badly either. But I decided to let it go, at least for now. If I really did end up teaching this girl - who I still didn't know the name of, which kind of annoyed me - then I would probably be able to explain it to her in time. I really didn't know if she would agree though, she didn't seem to like me very much, well, she didn't like me very much right now

"Yeah, I'm looking for someone to...teach." I said, blushing and looking at my feet. I don't know why it embarrassed me to say that, but I often get embarrassed in front of people for stupid reasons. It was just part of my Anthrophobia. "And I think you might be a good student." I blushed even brighter, "I mean, it seems like you love your pokemon and you take good care of him, and vice versa. I don't know if you want to learn how to battle pokemon, because it doesn't seem like you battle much because your pokemon isn't a very high level, but if you do I-I think I can teach you." I looked up at her for a few seconds while saying this and looked back down, it annoyed me so much that I was embarrassed by saying something as simple and straightforward as that, but I did.

[Terra Mccord]

I looked sceptically at her, "Just because he's a low level, doesn't mean we haven't perfected techniques." I said with a huff. Hiro's blaze simmered down to nothing, as did my attitude. "You want to teach me. Well I guess I could. I'm Terra, you?" I replied holding out my hand as if on agreement. Hiro left my arms and went to investigate further around the Arceus, sniffing here a.d there before looking at me for approval. I almost considered using legendary cheating really, an Arceus no less. But I my kept my voice inside, it would get me in trouble most likely.
I was going to be mentored by the champion now, was that cheating? Weren't trainers supposed to meet pokemon on their own? We were to learn from our mistakes and train our pokemon on our own accords. I hoped she wouldn't be following me around, breathing down my neck while I battle a different trainer. I shuddered mentally.

[Cyri Hydriai]

I closed my eyes and crossed my arms across my chest. I was starting to have trouble breathing. "Um, hold on a second." Arceus was starting to look worried. I took a few deep breathes. Sometimes this kind of think happened when I talked to people. I just start hyperventilating for no particular reason. I hated it, but at least it gave me an excuse to spend more time with my pokemon.

"Sorry, I'm Cyri." said, smiling sheepishly. "Well, I know this might sound kind of weird because my pokemon are such a high level, but can we have a pokemon battle. I just want to see how your pokemon attacks." I looked up at Arceus, who nodded at me. She understood not to fight back, this little pokemon should barely be able to do any damage anyway. "Or we could go find a low level pokemon out in the wild, but it might take a while to get to pokemon the same level as yours, and there's always the risk of those corrupted pokemon."

[Terra Mccord]

I smirked slightly to myself, well, at least they would be able to do junk and not just talk about strategy, action was much more suited for me. I clicked my tongue once more and Hiro came to stay by my side, "We can have it right here, there's no real danger right? We can have it somewhere I know." I explained walking off towards the east side of town. It was much more secluded and they wouldn't attract any unwanted attention. Terra wanted to at least get them all out of site.
I glanced backwards as Hiro took the lead; he knew where to go; I looked to see the crowd and their sad eyes. I hoped they knew better than to follow.
I ran on ahead through the streets of the small Village until the bridge was the only thing standing between them and the East side. I nodded to Cyri and ran after my cyndaquil who was already halfway across.

Over the bridge, I saw the grassy clearing that stood as the 'battle field'. Small smells filled my nostrils, I could smell meats and soft drinks, the sweeter scents of honey and baking bread. I knew there was a small food stand near by, Hiro smelled it too and looked at me with those eyes of his. I shook my head, a mental note saying to go there later.
I walked over to the opposite side of the field and looked back to Cyri, "Ready when you are." I said nodding to Hiro who got into an aggressive stance, flames dancing no his back.
