The Red-Ringed Umbreon part 2
#3 of TR-RU Past 1
Guess What! I got halfway done with this story, then my laptop's battery explodes (I'm not kidding it looks like a bag of popcorn after it comes out of the microwave). So, after a couple of hasty decisions, I put it off. I borrowed my cousin's computer to upload this, and after this, i'm going to get a new battery. Hope you enjoy!

Part 2: Prophetic Justice
We had been walking for an hour in the hot sun when I ask, "Where are going, exactly?"
The Treecko stops in his tracks, like he just realized that too, "I guess we're heading to the Tree of Wisdom," Before I could ask, he continues, "It will tell us where to go."
Fotia kept near me a lot, I didn't notice it a lot earlier, but now she's glancing over to me every 5 seconds, "Is there something fascinating about me?"
"No..." She blushes a little, "but there is a scar on your back."
I look up at her, "Really?"
"Yeah, It's a ring with a cross inside of it."
I freeze, 'It can't be...' I run for a lake, trying to see the scar, then I see it. It wasn't a scar, it was a burn mark.

Michael was leaning over a dead Raticate, with a soldering iron, "and this is what you've been doing all day?"
He looks at me, "Yeah, try it,"
I hesitantly grab it and carve a perfect circle on the middle of his back. Then putting a cross inside of the circle. Out of the center of the cross comes a trickle of blood. That's when we both realized that it wasn't dead.

I take my head out of the water, gasping for air; This certainly isn't a dream.
I fall back onto the grass, looking up at the two, "You okay?" Fotia asks as I get back onto my paws.
"Yeah," I keep walking, "Eventually."

We finally reach the place they called Noctaline. It was amazing to see a place like this. After a few questions, we were directed to a hollowed-out tree. It was supposed to bring about knowledge to the asker. Fysi asked which way they should go, he got "The path that has been neglected by others, on this path, you will find a bounty for kings," Fotia asked about her love life, "You will find one who you like but will be too afraid to do anything. Just go for it!"
That's when I got my turn, "What's my purpose?"
There is a silence from the tree, then, "Seek comfort in the road you have. You shall know, but not at the time at hand..."
I stare into the emptiness of the tree, "Well, that tells me nothing," and we all walk away from the "Mystic" tree.

Apparently, a weed covered nature trail counts as a "Neglected path." But anyway, we travel down the road when it becomes too dark to walk safely. I place down the sticks from my mouth, and Fotia hits it with a solid ember. We start to sit around the newly created fire, when a low growl comes from all of our stomachs. I volunteer to get some berries, "Let's see," I say out loud after an hour of searching, "What type of berries did Fotia like again?"
I look at a pile of assorted berries, some I didn't know existed, "What's this?" The voice spooked me, but I calmed down after I see Fotia behind me.
My voice cracks, "WHY..." I clear my throat, "You scared me!"
"I'm sorry Mavros," She says as she looks over all the different berries, "Hey look, a Cornn Berry!" she picks up a little yellow berry that was surrounded by red pedals, "They say that if two people share it, that they will fall in love..." she sighs then blushes, "But it's just a myth anyways."
"Cool," I say as I start to move the large pile onto a larger leaf, "Sorry if you two don't like the taste of some of these berries, I don't even know what half of these are anyway!"
We get close to the cave when Fotia goes back for some thing, "You dropped one," She comes back with a black berry with white question marks on it, "I think it looks like an Enigma Berry. This is one of the most coveted berries because of its "mystical" ability to help Pokémon grow faster. Yet another myth about the power of berries."
"Sounds like what my Mom always said." we both walk back to the cave wit our bounty.
