Preview Time!
I was writing a chapter for a story in progress, but when I finished this part, I felt that people needed to see it. This should be appearing in about 10 days. So sit back, possibly grab a tissue box, and Happy Reading!
"Come on, Seth! You need to hurry!", Andrea said. "Hey, you need to wait up! You know this Route better than I do!", I told her. She had lived on Route 108 all her life, and knew how to get around it a lot better than I did. Being a Jolteon also made her naturally fast. We climbed up to the entrance to Meteor Falls and sat there, talking and laughing. "Ouch, that's gotta hurt, turning into a Jolteon by tripping over a Thunderstone." "Well, it's not as bad as being a 13-year old Riolu." "Hey, when you live in my family, happiness is a limited resource." My family was poor and constantly mad, and Andrea was my only refuge from it. "Well, when you're in my family, you are blessed if you don't become an Espeon and get yelled at for it." "So, have you ever wanted to become an Espeon?" "Not really. I mean, they look cool, and Magic Bounce is cool, but I always just wanted to stay as an Eevee." "But hey, now you can yell at me for being slow!" "I guess that's true!" She scooted next to me. "So, you mind if I suggest something crazy?" "No, I'm not fighting another Vespiquen! I still have a bump from the last time." "Good idea! We can do that later, after we run around inside Meteor Falls for a bit!" "But what about all those Dragon-Types? We won't have any protection against them!" "Right now we don't, but I know a way." "Oh, really? How?", I said in a sarcastic voice. "This.", Andrea said before kissing me on the mouth. We passionately kissed each other, and while we did, a strange power started to fill me, starting in my heart, before spreading through my entire body. I could feel myself growing stronger, taller, with spikes coming out of my chest and hands. When we were finished, she smiled and said "Now I have a Steel/Fighting type to protect me." I ran to the nearest body of water and checked my reflection, and where I expected a Riolu, I saw a Lucario staring back at me. I turned towards Andrea, ran towards her, and hugged her as hard as I could. "Andrea, this is the greatest day ever!" "Not yet, cause we still have to go in. You ready?" "Oh, no, please, ladies first!" "Well, okay!" She dashed in, and I followed her. We were in awe with how it looked. A grand waterfall and beautiful rock formations greeted our entry. Unfortunately, so did a Gengar that we knew meant trouble. "So, what do we have here? A naive, thrill-seeking Jolteon, and a cowardly, newly evolved Lucario. How precious!" He attempted a Shadow Punch, but Andrea pushed me out of the way and took the hit instead. She was sent flying into the wall, and as I was trying to help her, a Lucario ambushed me and choked me out.
I woke up in the back room of Meteor Falls. Andrea and I were tied up, and the Lucario was watching us. "Why, hello. Welcome to Meteor Falls, make yourselves at home." "Why are you keeping us here?" "Why, it's only a gesture of hospitality! You wouldn't like it if you were back on Route 108!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Hmm, a new Lucario. Here, I'll show you." He placed his hand upon my head, and I saw a horrifying sight. In the time we had been knocked out, the houses along Route 108 were burning, with no sign of stopping. He released his hand, and I fell, gasping for air. "No, how did that happen?" "Oh, just a little thing that I call fate, my boy." "And what's that?", Andrea asked, now finally awake. "You see, the events that have transpired today, such as your play date, your evolution, and your capture, were all decided from the beginning of time. All these events were bound to happen at one point, and nothing that you can do will change them." He went on to give this long speech about how our roles and our actions are truly not our own, how time is like a river, that even if it's path is changed, it will always reach the same destination, and about how Andrea was supposed to die soon, but I barely listened to it. Eventually, he left the room to attend to other matters. "Seth, help me. Use the spike on the back of your hand to break my ropes.", Andrea said. I did, and she rushed out of the room to Route 108. Frantically, I tried to tap into the Aura and stop her. "Andrea? Andrea! Do you copy?" "Yes, I do, how are you doing this?" "I think it's something called an Aura, but that's not the point. You can't go out there! You heard that Lucario, you're going to die!" "That may be true, but I need to save my family!" "Andrea no! Andrea, don't go!", I yelled as she ran out the exit. I searched frantically for other uses of Aura, and I found that I could tell what she was feeling with it. She was running into her house, trying to grab as many of her family members as she could. As she was getting her mother out the door, however, the doorframe collapsed, leaving Andrea trapped inside. "Andrea! You need to find another way out!" "There's no time, Seth. You were right, and I'm sorry. Just promise me this - go kick a Vespiquen's butt for me." "No, Andrea, no! Jump through a window! Make an exit! Don't just lay on the ground! No! Andrea!" "Just remember Seth, I will always love you...", Andrea said, as her Aura faded. No. No! NO! This can't be happening!" "I'm sorry, Seth, but no one can change the course of fate. This event was scripted long ago, and you couldn't stop it. Face it, Seth. Andrea's gone."
"ANDREAAAAAA!"
