A New Path

First topic message reminder :

Starfire sat in the edge of the pond, granted they did call this area the Small Pond. Looking at her reflection, she thought about her life when she was small. It seemed almost like a bad dream, but it was real. 

Starfire was only a young Vulpix playing in a meadow, chasing a Beautyfly. Her parents, a pair of Ninetails, were watching from a hill as she was playing. All three failed to notice a looming shadow watching them.




Starfire felt something hit her from behind her and she fell into darkness before she hit the ground.


Smelling smoke, the young Pokemon quickly got to her feet and saw a horrific sight. The entire meadow was charred black, except for the patch of grass that she was on. "Mommy, Daddy!?" she called. Looking around, the baby looked for her parents. When she made it to the top of the hill she gasped and ran to her parents bodies, lying in a pool of their own blood. "MOMMY, DADDY!!!!!!" she shouted, running to them. 


She cried over their bodies and felt something standing over her. Slowly turning her head, with tears streaming down her face and saw a pair of eyes leering down at her. 


That was the last thing that she could remember. Starfire opened her eyes and sniffled, missing her parents. "Why did I survive?" she asked herself. "Why was I left alive?!" she shouted in anger at the sky.

Nate shrugged slightly, keeping up with Starfire as the two walked. The Pikachu listened to what she had to say about her reasons, nodding his head.
"I've been there, done that. I used to do nothing but travel around, head to new places, explore around. But sometimes it gets a bit lonely, I suppose. It's always nice to know you've got somewhere you can go back to, with friends you can see again." He commented, smiling softly.

Starfire thought about what Nate was saying. He was right, but she was determined to find this Pokemon. That Pokemon took her family and her home. She had left the place she used to call home to try to find the Pokemon. If only she could remember what kind of Pokemon it was.

The wind blew softly through the trees carrying a few leaves along with it. Looking up Starfire could see pink berries on a few of the trees.

"Here we are." she said looking at the Pikachu.
