"hey Sapphire I feel bad asking this" I say "hey go at it" she says "would you mind if we... Go to Mossdeep city? If you don't want to if you're still stressed" I say "no it's fine we can but how do we get there there's no exit besides the one to Fortree" she seems confused "surf" I say "oh right" she remembers we walk to the beach I send out Sealeo May sends out Sawmpert we start to make our way there we get pretty far when "hey you there" we stop when a team Aqua grunt comes up to us on a Sharpedo "you're gonna join team Aqua" he says "no thank you" I politely decline "it wasn't a question" he says "Sharpedo crunch" it bites Sealeo fainting it and rides off I return Sealeo "just great" I start to swim towards Mossdeep May surfs over to me "Ruby you can't just swim to Mossdeep there's like an hour till you get there you won't have enough energy" she says "well I can't use Sealeo" I say she reaches her hand down "get on" I grab it and she helps me on Swampert I'm hardly on it though "um Sapphire I can't really stay on well do you mind if I?" I wrap my arms around her "eep!" She goes "Ru-Ru-Ruby what are you?" she asks "do you mind?" I ask "n-n-no I d-d-don't" she says "okay good" I say we make it there after an hour I jump off "well I know what I'm about to do" I start to run towards the gym "Ruby wait up" May says I make it into the gym and do the puzzle they have there "I would like to have a battle" I say "before we start would you like to invite someone to battle along side you?" One of them asks "actually yeah one sec" I get to the entrance and open the door "how fast did yo-" I pull her by the hand into the gym "Ruby what are you doing?" She asks "I want you to battle the gym leaders with me" I say as we make it to where the gym leaders are "o-okay" she says nervous we start the battle one of them sends out a Lunatone the other sends out Solrock "Metang" I send it out "um Vibrava" she sends her out "bulldoze" May says it hits Lunatone for decent damage "meteor mash" it hits the Lunatone fainting it "awww" one of them say returning Lunatone "psychic" it hits Vibrava for good damage "bulldoze" she command "meteor mash" I command they both hit one after another it faints "our... Teamwork" they say "well we award you with the mind badge" they hand both me and May a badge we walk out I send out Metang "good job buddy" I say petting him when suddenly he turns fully light blue I jump back "wait you're evolving" I say it turns into a large dark blue metal Pokémon with four legs that have three spikes on the bottom of each leg red eyes and a large gray X on it's face "Metagross" it cries "YEAH! You evolved that's great" I cheer someone lands "well I see you got a Metagross and I see you have a mega bracelet there are you planning on taking on the Pokémon league?" It's Steven "um yeah I was planning on taking on the league" I say "well I hope to have a battle with you..."
"Ruby Ruby Kogane"
"well I'd like to give you something Ruby" he hands me a mega stone "that's the Metagrossite" he flies off "huh Metagrossite here" I have Metagross hold it "hm I'm correct the only Pokémon I have that can mega evolve are Blaziken and Metagross" I say but I have no idea what Sealeo and Shelgon evolve into or even if they evolve "hey I'm going to do some training Sapphire you should do something to calm down so you don't get sick again" I suggest "okay later Ruby" she says I go to the beach and do some training I battle when "woah Sealeo what's going on?" I ask it changes into a bigger Walrus Pokémon with white fur on the under it's nose and going down the back a bit long white tusks and yellow eyes "Walrein!" It cries aloud "oh right I forgot Sapphire told me you'd evolve later on" I say petting the fur on it's back "rein" it nuzzles me "hey stop that it tickles haha" I say it keeps it up for a bit we go back to training I'm training Shelgon when it turns light blue "well that's two" I laugh it changes into a large light blue dragon Pokémon with red wings a gray under body and a blue tail "Salamence" it cries I hear someone "bravo bravo" I look behind me to see a girl in a black shirt gray cape gray sandals gray shorts and a mega evolution anklet I think with black hair and red eyes she starts grabbing me and raising my arms and looking at me all around "hm not much psychical potential but good at battling" she says "hey!" I snap back "well I'd like to bestow you to become the new Lorekeeper" she says "wha- what Lorekeeper I don't know what that is" she points at her Whismur "that was the previous Lorekeeper" she says "what I'm not turning into a Pokémon... Actually I'll be the Lorekeeper" I say "okay great"
"now as my first act as the Lorekeeper... I'm making you the Lorekeeper"
"what but"
"I ain't doing this you do it I'm becoming the champion" I walk away and go back to my room my current levels are everyone at fifty and Blaziken at fifty-two "hey Sapphire I'm back" I say putting my bag on the chair "oh hi Ruby anything interesting happen?" She asks wearing a white sleeveless shirt and blue pajama pants "well Sealeo and Shelgon evolved into Walrein and Salamence also some girl just started looking at my body and tried to make me her new Lorekeeper whatever that means I accepted-" May cuts me off "no!" She cries "then gave the job back to her... Wait why do you care so much?" I ask "um I uh hey look at that" she points at the window to show me two Taillow asleep right next to each other "aww that's adorable" I say smiling "wait there was something ther-... Right of course" she says "uh okay" I say awkwardly I sit down on her bed to talk "so what did you do?" I ask "oh nothing just kinda sat here and read some articles" she says "what were the articles about?" I ask again "how to ask someone o- uh research breakthroughs" she says "okay then" I say I lay down "hey Ruby I need to tell you something" she says "yeah sure what's on your mind?" I ask "so I uh I... I don't want to help with research"
"what do you want to do then?"
"Well that's why I wanted to talk to you about this you're the one who made me realize what I want to do"
"oh I'm glad you found out what you want to do what is it?"
"Battling"
"batting?"
"Yeah I want to battle and thank you for making me realize that this is what I want"
"hey no problem" I hear her mumble something I can't really tell but it sounds like "well one of the things I want"
"hm what was that?"
"Oh nothing"
"uh okay but what do you want to achieve?"
"I don't know haha"
"hey I get it you don't have to know"
"there's only one problem"
"what is it?"
"I can't"
"what you can't why?"
"I don't have the courage"
"courage to?"
"I DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO TELL MY DAD RUBY"
"hey it's okay" she lays down to her face in the pillow "NO IT WON'T BE 'OKAY' RUBY IMAGINE WHEN HIS ONLY DAUGHTER WHO'S BEEN HELPING HIM WITH HIS RESEARCH FOR YEARS SAYS THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE SO THINK ABOUT THAT" she shouts "I'm sorry that I said that Ruby I'm just nervous" she says I pull her into a hug "it's okay it'll be okay I'm sure he'll accept that you want to become a trainer instead of a researcher" I comfort her "you're to nice for me" she says "heh ditto" I laugh "so you feeling better?" I ask "yeah thanks" she says I let go "surprise" I pull her into a hug again "Ruby let go of me" I shake my head "nope" I laugh "Ruby"
"nope"
"let go"
"I already said no and I'm not changing that answer" she sighs "fine" she moves down a bit and gets closer really close her head is right on my chest "Sapphire what are you-" she's asleep "night Sapphire" I hate doing this I hate having to call her Sapphire everywhere we can't even call each other by our own names anywhere outside nope someone might be there room nope might have camera it's so annoying I fall asleep just trying to get stop thinking about it I hear something "hey Brendan HEY" I jump a bit there's no one there "there ain't anyone around you" the voice says when I realize it's in my head "there you go took you long enough to figure that one out" it says "what is it?" I ask thinking I sound silly no I do sound silly "I can't believe you like her she'd never like you like anyone would fall for you you look ridiculous don't even talk to her she's to good for you whether you're Ruby or Brendan you'll never be enough for her and I'm sure for any other girl" the voice insults me "that's not true" I respond calmly "yes it is"
"nope"
"she'll die in days"
"how?" I ask not believing that voice "I'll take over your body and kill her"
"and just how are you supposed to take over my body?"
"I can"
"I'd like to see you try"
"I'll take you over and wake her up right now"
"do it coward" in a matter of seconds I blink in and out of reality when I return May's awake "why'd you wake me up Ruby?" She asks "I'm sorry just go back to sleep okay" I say she falls asleep almost instantly "okay okay you've convinced me what do I have to do to make sure you don't take her out?" I ask "run"
"run?"
"Leave and never get near her if you do I'll take you over and kill her"
"WHO ARE YOU WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME AND HER"
"I don't have to tell you who I am and my motives"
"I WANT TO KNOW"
"eh eh eh don't get to cranky with me or I might have to choke her"
"I DEMAND TO KNOW!"
"To bad run" I stand up and sigh "I can't believe I have to leave her well might as well" I lean over and kiss her on the forehead I leave a note saying "I had to leave don't look for me don't get near me" I walk out in the dead of night and sleep on the back of the island "are you ever gonna tell me who you are?" I ask "I will tell you now I am
