Chapter 7: What do you know about me?
FERALI's POV
As I awaken I was greeted by the morning sun. I took a deep breath of the morning air and could not remember how I could have awakened to a wonderful feeling. I setup and wanted say good morning, but the room was empty I looked down to find that I was sleeping inside Krystal's bed. My head started to hurt so I hop down, and then made my way to the bathroom and turned on the shower; the restroom began to steam up. I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection, after about five minutes of looking at the Pokémon in the mirror I saw a man walking in behind it. The man stood about six feet, a bit lighter skin complexion than Krystal had, he wore this weird skin tight white and blue suit, and he the same kind of eyes that I have in this Feraligatr form.
He looked at me pass my reflection and gave a wicked smile. I immediately turned around swiping anything that was behind me, but nothing was there. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes turning back to the mirror then opening them, only to see the mysterious man now in the place of my reflection. He began to start laughing very loudly.
"Shut up." I said as the man continued.
"Shut up!" I yelled then striking the mirror with my claws shattering the glass.
Now with glass all over the floor I walked back to the shower and closed my eyes as I entered the tub. Thinking to myself taking the events of what just happened within the last three days, trying to see if I could remember anything, but nothing...
"Dammit!" I said to myself. Thinking, 'who the hell was that guy and why the fuck can't I remember anything?' I thought as my mind started running a million miles a second, at least the water was starting to bring me some kind of calm. I sat down inside the tub for another five minutes and let the water run over me with my now blank state of mind. I turned the water off, and then pulled myself out of the tub.
Once out I looked over to the mess I made and quickly walked over to it to begin picking up the pieces of the glass. I wanted to know more about myself and my current situation, but I remained calm 'I'll have all those answers soon I just know it.' I thought as I was picking up the pieces of the mirror.
My stomach started to growl more, and my mouth began to drool. I wiped my face and looked around something smelled really good, so I finished picking up all the pieces to mirrors and tossed them inside the trash.
I wondered back into the main room, with my eyes closed and began sniffing around the scent was so intoxicating it was beginning to take control of me. When I opened my eyes there stood Krystal and with a large plate of food, that my nose was now buried into now.
She was wearing her Black shirt that she bought, and now sporting a blue back pack that I didn't recognize. She continued to walk over to the table with my face still inside the food and dropped it.
"Well I was going to surprise you for when you woke up, but go ahead and make a pig out of yourself!" She said in a moody tone.
"Well excuse me princess energy I can't store fat like you can and live-..." was all I could get out as metal clock shattered over my forehead. So I turned around and dismissed the pain, continuing my feast.
Once I was done I looked over to Krystal who was just staring at me with a curious look on her face.
"What, never seen a man eat before?" I said as I let out a burp, and then giggled.
She shook her head slightly and said, "No, you disgusting pig. Just weird to see how someone could eat so much." Then picked up a remote and aimed it towards the television on the wall, turning it on and flicking through the channels as if she had nothing better to do.
Now it was me who was watching her, she looked to me and said, "What haven't seen a girl look at television before." She said with a frown on her face.
I looked to her and said, "No, but I haven't seen a girl molest an Absol before. Speaking of which where the thunder happy devil is?"
She stood up and reached into her back pocket pulling out a poke ball and tossed it into the air. The beam of light showed as Absol appeared in a confused state at first but after examining her surroundings she just sat down looking at me.
I waved over to her with a happy smile on my face I wanted to talk with her more privately though. So I stood and asked her, "Hiya Snowflake how are you?"
She looked up at me and said, "Fine I guess now that I'm out of that poke ball and away from that crazy psychic of a woman." She now had a smile on her face as she approached me. "I have to say it feels good not being heard by human ears again and I can talk to another Pokémon you know?" She said then looking back to Krystal.
I looked at Krystal as well to see that she wasn't paying any mind to us but more on the TV. I took a deep sigh and looked back to Sasha "So are you hungry?" I asked curiously.
She shook her head and said, "Nah Krystal and I got something to eat earlier, plus from the looks of it look like you have nothing else to offer." She said with a giggle, and then a pillow hit her across the head. We both looked up; it was Krystal with a dull facial expression staring at the two of us.
"You two love birds quit talking about me and get ready your training will begin soon." She said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh my, is my partner jealous of the new arrival on the team?" I said with a goofy expression.
She blushed then looked to the side rolling her eyes. "Well our new arrival will have to pass the test before she can come with us, but we have a week to sort things out and to test her." She while standing and holding her hand out to Sasha.
Sasha looked at her confused, then looked back to me "Hey is she gonna do something weird to me? Because I think the other women could be better."
I smiled to her and said, "Nah but I hope you can fight better than you did with me. Krystal here is on a whole different level than I am..."
"You're damn right I am!" Krystal said to me butting in on our conversation.
She then smiled turning off the TV, and then taking a nice long stretch on her tip-toes. She pulled out Sasha's Poke ball and said, "Sorry Sasha but Ferali is the only person who can walk with me. Well atleast until you pass the test that is." She said while winking at her then recalling her into her ball.
I noticed the face Sasha made before the beam touched her, it was a worried 'what the hell is about to happen face.' I giggled as she went inside.
I stood up out of my seat and made my way towards front door where Krystal was standing. I stopped in front of her and said, "Thanks for last night....but Krystal if I'm about to hurt something I want you to stop me not encourage my crazy behavior, even if that means killing me I don't think I could live with myself if I hurt/kill someone." I said to her in a serious tone.
She looked at me with a glimmer in eye and said, "Ferali...to be honest with you I don't think I could stop you if you were to lose control like that.
"What are you talking about you can easily take me out before I do harm to anyone." I said to her as I grew more concerned.
"No you idiot!" She said as she grabbed the bottom of her shirt and looked down. "I can't fight to kill anyone that care for, I just can't do it!" She said as tears started to fall to the floor.
I wanted to do something, I wanted to tell her that she doesn't have to, but something inside me kept poking at me wanting me to release the rage from within. I didn't understand where it was coming from but I wanted it to come to an end even if it meant death. Though I knew I couldn't burden Krystal with the responsibility of doing anything like that. And from what she's crying about it seems that she's been through this hardache once before and didn't want to relive it.
"Ok Krystal you win....yet again....it seems that's another thing I can't beat you in." I said as I inched towards her.
"What's that?" She said as looked up drying her face.
"Argue." I answered back to her, as I pulled her into a hug and held her for about five minutes. She didn't fight back or fuss about it she just remained opened armed and her face buried deeply inside my chest. I looked down at her curly hair then patted her on the back to let her know to let go, but it just felt so familiar....
"Don't think you trying to butter me up is going to save you from the hard training I have in store for you and that Absol. I want her to get used to tough training and battling, also stop the chatter between you two." She said opening the door to the hallway.
"What kind of chatter you mean?" I asked like a child, and then giggled.
She opened the door and we both stepped out of the hallway and she said, "You know what I mean all that Pokémon chatter that I don't understand."
We both started to make our way down the hallway I looked straight as I began to say, "I know what you mean, but I think I may Sasha from my past life."
She looked at me weirdly and said, "Really, do you know how?"
We made our way to the end of the hall way and stopped just before went down the stairs Krystal held her right arm out in front of me, which cause me to halt. She then looked up at me hinting the jester for me to answer her previous question.
I sighed then looked up at the room and said, "I'm really not sure to be honest so I'm going to ask her a few questions about her past, maybe she'll help me understand what to do. Then again she could know nothing about me, but right now I'm just going to have to go with my gut feeling."
Krystal then lowered her arm and nodded to me and proceeded to head down the stairs. I soon followed behind her hoping for the best as we made our way down.
Once we reached the bottom of the steps, I looked up at the clock by the receptionist it was going on two p.m. I shrugged at the time and continued behind Krystal, then stopped at the front door to and got her attention.
"Please take it easier on her than you do me for today so I talk to her please." I said to her in a begging tone.
"Alright fine, but only if you train twice as hard then!" She said snapping back at me.
I nodded to her as she flicked her hair and made her way out of the door. I closed my eyes as I followed her and let out a deep sigh, she gazed back at me exhaling and smiled as continued walking.
About twenty minutes passed before made it out of the city and made it into the entrance of the woods, Krystal dug into her back pack and pulled out Sasha's ball and tossed it into the air. The Absol appeared sort of confused, but came to a calm as she saw us. She nodded then began walking towards us she looked to me then back to Krystal.
"I wonder what happened to that girl from yesterday." I said now looking at the spot that she was last seen by my eyes, before I ran away.
"I'm not sure; when I went to go find you I took Sasha and got lost in the woods for two hours. So she could have gotten away in that time." Krystal said to me then looking at Sasha.
"Ok Sasha let's find a suitable place for us to train in peace, perhaps near some water so our water giant can keep going." She said to her while winking to her.
The Absol looked at Krystal and nodded to her. Sniffing around she began to dash off and we followed her, she then stop sniffing and kept her head up as she ran.
About another twenty minutes passed before we arrived to our destination. We were at the lake that I Ran away to last night, I looked around then began to stretch for the upcoming training. I walked up to the water then looked down into it to see my reflection once again.
"Ferali, you'll sit this fight out, Sasha and I will go for the first round then we'll have a rematch." She said with a serious tone.
I looked back to her and nodded, "Don't over work yourself I don't want to fight you to weaken."
"Look who's talking, go collect your thoughts on how to beg for your life once I'm done with you." She said with a smile on her face then turning her attention to Sasha.
I waved off the comment and looked back at the water into my reflection there I saw the man again who was just looking at me. I started making motions with my body and he mimicked them perfectly, I kept going till he stopped then looked at me seriously. I stopped and looked back at him, to hear a mumble that he was making. He kept repeating it louder and louder till I finally understood what he was saying.
"You...failure...you...failed...you...killer...you...destroyer...I'll never forgive you!" the man said with great anger in his eyes.
"What are you talk about failure and killer what do you know about me?" I asked him with a concerned tone.
"You can never change what you done you killer! You'll burn for what you've done!" The man began to start laughing loudly.
I became enraged with anger, clinched my fist very tightly, and punched the image as hard as I could. I closed my eyes to drown out the noise of Krystal and Sasha training to see if I could force myself to remember anything. Something was off I couldn't hear any water splashes from when I hit it, so I opened my and what I saw made them open even wider.
It was a wall of ice, wondering where it came from I look at my right fist there was a blue glow coming off it. It felt cold, but tolerable for me to keep it up. I thought to myself 'Is this what Krystal meant by freezing something?' I smiled shaking my hand turning it off then using my claws to cut through the thin sheet of ice.
I turned back to see Krystal looking at me with a smile on her face, and Sasha lying on the ground about two yards away from her. She had an angry expression on her face, but why was she so angry I thought she'd be a lot calmer about losing a battle and her life wasn't at stake.
"What did you do to her? She looks very angry." I questioned Krystal.
She was panting when walked over to me and said, "She isn't used to losing...and neither am I that's why I don't!" she yelled loud enough for the Absol to hear her.
"Did something happen between you two while I wasn't looking for...the last ten minutes?" I said questioning Krystal again.
"She isn't an average Pokémon that's for sure." She was holding her knees when spoke.
"Oh wow the mighty Krystal fighting type having problems with the newcomer Sasha Dark type" I said laughing to myself, only to find myself on the other end of a small fist to the snout.
Now with tissue in my nose I said, "She really doesn't seem that tough after all I fought her with no problems and was on the winning end."
"Ferali what are you talking about she hit you with a Thunderbolt and you went out. I saw your eyes roll into the back of your head, and then you use that ice attack to hold her down while you try to kill her. You don't remember?" She asked me coming to sit at the lake by me and staring out at it.
"Umm... not really only thing I could remember was me trying to bite her head off." I said squinting my eyes in deep thought looking at the ground.
"So what happened in the fight that I missed, I wasn't really paying any mind because I was learning a move by mistake." I said with a giggle.
"I notice good work on that by the way." She said trying to sound supporting.
"Anyway it started like I start most of all my fights with me charging in quickly to intimidate my opponent, but she seemed unfazed by it and launched a black blob at me. I deflected it with my hand but it burned badly." She said showing me her hand I sprinkled some water on her hand to comfort her, this caused her to blush.
She continued by saying, "I ignored the pain and went in for a spinning back kick, that's when she crouched lower and stuck her horn out. I curved my foot outward to counter her horn, and hitting the tip of it with the bottom of my heel. With that knocked her head for a loop she jumped back launching more of those shadowy attacks."
"Their called Shadow balls you beast of a human!" Sasha said with a bit of annoyance and embarrassment in her voice. Even though Krystal could not understand her, I just shook my head at the outburst.
"Let me tell you it's been awhile since I had to dodge so much, but that didn't stop my assault. I got close to her and finished the fight with a kick to the ribs, and there she lay." She said with a smug tone.
"So it looks like someone finally gave you a run for you money." I said with a smile. "Oh yeah I've been meaning to ask you 'how did you become so strong'?" I asked with a curious tone.
She looked to me and said, "Why you want to know about that all of a sudden?"
"Can't a Pokémon know about their master?"
"Well I guess just weird you'd asked about that so suddenly, but sure umm...when I was born I had a disease called Osteogenesis imperfecta."
"Osteogenesis imperfecta?" I repeated sounding like a mouth full.
"Yeah it means I had brittle bones, and no doctor could help me with. Even with all the money my parents had they couldn't buy a cure for something like that. So I was homed schooled, kept away from other children and Pokémon. I never really had a real friend unless you count my bodyguards and nannies who constantly stayed around me for my protection I guess." She said while now closing her eyes as if trying to recall the past.
"I never really got along with my nannies or had I spend any real time with any of my parents. If I ever came to them with any concern or just wanting to be around them, they just push me off to one of my nannies. I swear I hate them more than anything or person one who's ever made fun of me..." She said now balling up then opening her eyes at the lake.
I looked at her then to Sasha who was now making her way over to where we were. I took a deep breath and said, "Krystal they're still your parents..."
"Shut-up! You don't know what you're talking about those people aren't parents of mine they're worse than the lowest scum on this planet..." She said with now and very angry tone.
"Krystal..." I whispered with a low tone of voice.
"About seven years ago I overheard my bastard father talking to my bitch of a mother saying that they need to adopt a child who's healthy enough to run their million poke-dollar company. And to get rid of me so I would no longer interfere with future operations of the company with my disability." She said with a disappointing voice.
"What you mean get rid of you?" I said weirdly asking her.
"Kill me..." she said with a very lone tone.
Sasha and I just sat there just looking at each other wondering what to say, but there isn't anything we could think of to counter a statement like that.
"Yeah you heard me...kill their daughter for some company..." She said with a down voice then looked up with a smile at the sky.
"That's when I met a miracle doctor inside a cave, where I planned on taking my life." She continued smile.
"He was creepy at first, and his name was Dr. Shine. He was a tall slender man, who stood over me when I was in the cave and offered me a second chance at life. He was doing an experiment that can cure my disease but it'll cost a lot of money something only that my parents could afford." She said with a sadder tone.
"So your parents paid for it as soon as they heard about it right and the whole 'get rid of you' thing was a misunderstanding right?" I said now with a concerned attitude.
"HAHAHAHA!!!" she laughed like a mad women....
"If only I was so lucky, they were set on saving money and so they used me as a bargaining chip..." She said with a weird expression.
By that time the sun was starting to set Krystal looked up and notice this not wanting to catch the welcome wagon of the night life she stood up and said, "Well you two it's starting to get late let's get a move on before it turns night."
Sasha and I looked at each other wanting to know more to our mysterious owners past, but we didn't want to press the issue. So we just did as commanded to her and accompanied her to the city with a silent walk.
Upon reaching the city the night life was about to begin, seeing this I knew we would have to hurry before would have to carry the beastly trainer. We walked for about twenty minutes before the city went almost dark, then the street lights came on. This was a warning before the main attraction from the store would start up.
Krystal then looked back to Sasha and me and nodded, and then we looked to each other and nodded. We all took off running at full speed towards the hotel. Nothing really on the streets to slow us down we kept at pace with each other mainly me being the slowest of the three of us on my hind legs.
It took about ten minutes before we reached the door. We came in stumbling from the run and I was tired from the speed that I ran. With a deep breath I took I regained my composure and saw that Sasha and Krystal were making their way up the stairs. My gaze wouldn't leave Sasha though; I wanted to know more about her and why in everything in my being felt like it knew her from the past. I would have to ask her before the night ends, I can't put off not knowing about my past any longer if she knew anything I am going to get it out of her.
"Ohhh Ferali! We're going to leave you if you don't move along you big nut!" Krystal said with a now playful singing voice.
I looked and saw Krystal looking at me from up the stairs smiling, then turning away flicking her hair.
After I made the climb up all the steps to our floor I looked down the hallway only to find that Krystal and Sasha have already went into the room. When I walked up to the door to open it, it was locked....I tapped my claw on the door and I heard a voice of a three year old on the other side saying, "Who is it?"
"A big scary monster here to gobble you and your Pokémon up, now open up!" I said half kidding and half annoyed.
"My mommy said I shouldn't let big scary monsters inside, so I'm sorry you'll have to go somewhere else!" Krystal said while giggling rather rapidly.
"Oh come on Krystal I'm tired and wanna get some shut eye, open up please! Before I start attracting unwanted attention and you'll have to explain why you have a talking Feraligatr." I said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh fine you crybaby..." She said as she was opening the door.
She was wearing her usual nightwear when she opened the door. I blush a little as I walked in pass her; I notice that she was looking at me half eyed with a smug frown on her face.
I looked over to her bed and nothing was in it except for the clothes that she wore for today. Knowing where I was going I closed my eyes lazily and walked over to the couch that I called bed, I fell over on it taking a deep breath only to smell something interesting. My eyes shot open to see Sasha lying face to face on the bed looking at me as if I just did something weird.
"Down girl...."
She then looked at me with sad puppy dog eyes and gave me a small lick on the nose.
I took a sigh and said again, "Not going to work, down girl."
At that moment I felt something grab me on the tail and yank me off the couch I didn't struggle nor grab on anything, because I already knew who it was. When hit the ground I landed on a few pillows I just sighed and began to nod off.
No....I need to ask her about this now.
The lights went out as I heard Krystal getting into her bed and pulling the covers over her.
Now's my chance to ask her...
"Sasha you awake I need to ask you something." I said quietly.
"Yeah what is it?" she answered back.
"When I ask you this I want you to be honest with me ok." I said.
"No, I'm not in heat, so no I don't wanna be your mate..." She said misreading my question.
"What the hell are you talking about I don't want a mate I want answers about my past. I feel that you know them something inside my body is telling me that I once knew you..." I said louder as the conversation got awkward.
"Shhh...before you wake Krystal up, no I don't know you or about your past you must thinking about someone else or another Absol." She said in a sleepy way.
I was really beginning to become rather sleepy myself and didn't want to press the issue to much longer, and I didn't want to keep bothering her for something like that. Plus she seemed trustworthy so I left it at that, and then began to drift off to sleep only to hear Krystal mumble to herself, "What do you know about me?"Chapter End Notes:Thank you for reading everyone, please be sure to tell me what you think of the story so far! I'm really enjoying myself with it.

We both started to make our way down the hallway I looked straight as I began to say, "I know what you mean, but I think I may Sasha from my past life."
She looked at me weirdly and said, "Really, do you know how?"
We made our way to the end of the hall way and stopped just before went down the stairs Krystal held her right arm out in front of me, which cause me to halt. She then looked up at me hinting the jester for me to answer her previous question.
I sighed then looked up at the room and said, "I'm really not sure to be honest so I'm going to ask her a few questions about her past, maybe she'll help me understand what to do. Then again she could know nothing about me, but right now I'm just going to have to go with my gut feeling."
Krystal then lowered her arm and nodded to me and proceeded to head down the stairs. I soon followed behind her hoping for the best as we made our way down.
Once we reached the bottom of the steps, I looked up at the clock by the receptionist it was going on two p.m. I shrugged at the time and continued behind Krystal, then stopped at the front door to and got her attention.
"Please take it easier on her than you do me for today so I talk to her please." I said to her in a begging tone.
"Alright fine, but only if you train twice as hard then!" She said snapping back at me.
I nodded to her as she flicked her hair and made her way out of the door. I closed my eyes as I followed her and let out a deep sigh, she gazed back at me exhaling and smiled as continued walking.
About twenty minutes passed before made it out of the city and made it into the entrance of the woods, Krystal dug into her back pack and pulled out Sasha's ball and tossed it into the air. The Absol appeared sort of confused, but came to a calm as she saw us. She nodded then began walking towards us she looked to me then back to Krystal.
"I wonder what happened to that girl from yesterday." I said now looking at the spot that she was last seen by my eyes, before I ran away.
"I'm not sure; when I went to go find you I took Sasha and got lost in the woods for two hours. So she could have gotten away in that time." Krystal said to me then looking at Sasha.
"Ok Sasha let's find a suitable place for us to train in peace, perhaps near some water so our water giant can keep going." She said to her while winking to her.
The Absol looked at Krystal and nodded to her. Sniffing around she began to dash off and we followed her, she then stop sniffing and kept her head up as she ran.
About another twenty minutes passed before we arrived to our destination. We were at the lake that I Ran away to last night, I looked around then began to stretch for the upcoming training. I walked up to the water then looked down into it to see my reflection once again.
"Ferali, you'll sit this fight out, Sasha and I will go for the first round then we'll have a rematch." She said with a serious tone.
I looked back to her and nodded, "Don't over work yourself I don't want to fight you to weaken."
"Look who's talking, go collect your thoughts on how to beg for your life once I'm done with you." She said with a smile on her face then turning her attention to Sasha.
I waved off the comment and looked back at the water into my reflection there I saw the man again who was just looking at me. I started making motions with my body and he mimicked them perfectly, I kept going till he stopped then looked at me seriously. I stopped and looked back at him, to hear a mumble that he was making. He kept repeating it louder and louder till I finally understood what he was saying.
"You...failure...you...failed...you...killer...you...destroyer...I'll never forgive you!" the man said with great anger in his eyes.
"What are you talk about failure and killer what do you know about me?" I asked him with a concerned tone.
"You can never change what you done you killer! You'll burn for what you've done!" The man began to start laughing loudly.
I became enraged with anger, clinched my fist very tightly, and punched the image as hard as I could. I closed my eyes to drown out the noise of Krystal and Sasha training to see if I could force myself to remember anything. Something was off I couldn't hear any water splashes from when I hit it, so I opened my and what I saw made them open even wider.
It was a wall of ice, wondering where it came from I look at my right fist there was a blue glow coming off it. It felt cold, but tolerable for me to keep it up. I thought to myself 'Is this what Krystal meant by freezing something?' I smiled shaking my hand turning it off then using my claws to cut through the thin sheet of ice.
I turned back to see Krystal looking at me with a smile on her face, and Sasha lying on the ground about two yards away from her. She had an angry expression on her face, but why was she so angry I thought she'd be a lot calmer about losing a battle and her life wasn't at stake.
"What did you do to her? She looks very angry." I questioned Krystal.
She was panting when walked over to me and said, "She isn't used to losing...and neither am I that's why I don't!" she yelled loud enough for the Absol to hear her.
"Did something happen between you two while I wasn't looking for...the last ten minutes?" I said questioning Krystal again.
"She isn't an average Pokémon that's for sure." She was holding her knees when spoke.
"Oh wow the mighty Krystal fighting type having problems with the newcomer Sasha Dark type" I said laughing to myself, only to find myself on the other end of a small fist to the snout.
Now with tissue in my nose I said, "She really doesn't seem that tough after all I fought her with no problems and was on the winning end."
"Ferali what are you talking about she hit you with a Thunderbolt and you went out. I saw your eyes roll into the back of your head, and then you use that ice attack to hold her down while you try to kill her. You don't remember?" She asked me coming to sit at the lake by me and staring out at it.
"Umm... not really only thing I could remember was me trying to bite her head off." I said squinting my eyes in deep thought looking at the ground.
"So what happened in the fight that I missed, I wasn't really paying any mind because I was learning a move by mistake." I said with a giggle.
"I notice good work on that by the way." She said trying to sound supporting.
"Anyway it started like I start most of all my fights with me charging in quickly to intimidate my opponent, but she seemed unfazed by it and launched a black blob at me. I deflected it with my hand but it burned badly." She said showing me her hand I sprinkled some water on her hand to comfort her, this caused her to blush.
She continued by saying, "I ignored the pain and went in for a spinning back kick, that's when she crouched lower and stuck her horn out. I curved my foot outward to counter her horn, and hitting the tip of it with the bottom of my heel. With that knocked her head for a loop she jumped back launching more of those shadowy attacks."
"Their called Shadow balls you beast of a human!" Sasha said with a bit of annoyance and embarrassment in her voice. Even though Krystal could not understand her, I just shook my head at the outburst.
"Let me tell you it's been awhile since I had to dodge so much, but that didn't stop my assault. I got close to her and finished the fight with a kick to the ribs, and there she lay." She said with a smug tone.
"So it looks like someone finally gave you a run for you money." I said with a smile. "Oh yeah I've been meaning to ask you 'how did you become so strong'?" I asked with a curious tone.
She looked to me and said, "Why you want to know about that all of a sudden?"
"Can't a Pokémon know about their master?"
"Well I guess just weird you'd asked about that so suddenly, but sure umm...when I was born I had a disease called Osteogenesis imperfecta."
"Osteogenesis imperfecta?" I repeated sounding like a mouth full.
"Yeah it means I had brittle bones, and no doctor could help me with. Even with all the money my parents had they couldn't buy a cure for something like that. So I was homed schooled, kept away from other children and Pokémon. I never really had a real friend unless you count my bodyguards and nannies who constantly stayed around me for my protection I guess." She said while now closing her eyes as if trying to recall the past.
"I never really got along with my nannies or had I spend any real time with any of my parents. If I ever came to them with any concern or just wanting to be around them, they just push me off to one of my nannies. I swear I hate them more than anything or person one who's ever made fun of me..." She said now balling up then opening her eyes at the lake.
I looked at her then to Sasha who was now making her way over to where we were. I took a deep breath and said, "Krystal they're still your parents..."
"Shut-up! You don't know what you're talking about those people aren't parents of mine they're worse than the lowest scum on this planet..." She said with now and very angry tone.
"Krystal..." I whispered with a low tone of voice.
"About seven years ago I overheard my bastard father talking to my bitch of a mother saying that they need to adopt a child who's healthy enough to run their million poke-dollar company. And to get rid of me so I would no longer interfere with future operations of the company with my disability." She said with a disappointing voice.
"What you mean get rid of you?" I said weirdly asking her.
"Kill me..." she said with a very lone tone.
Sasha and I just sat there just looking at each other wondering what to say, but there isn't anything we could think of to counter a statement like that.
"Yeah you heard me...kill their daughter for some company..." She said with a down voice then looked up with a smile at the sky.
"That's when I met a miracle doctor inside a cave, where I planned on taking my life." She continued smile.
"He was creepy at first, and his name was Dr. Shine. He was a tall slender man, who stood over me when I was in the cave and offered me a second chance at life. He was doing an experiment that can cure my disease but it'll cost a lot of money something only that my parents could afford." She said with a sadder tone.
"So your parents paid for it as soon as they heard about it right and the whole 'get rid of you' thing was a misunderstanding right?" I said now with a concerned attitude.
"HAHAHAHA!!!" she laughed like a mad women....
"If only I was so lucky, they were set on saving money and so they used me as a bargaining chip..." She said with a weird expression.
By that time the sun was starting to set Krystal looked up and notice this not wanting to catch the welcome wagon of the night life she stood up and said, "Well you two it's starting to get late let's get a move on before it turns night."
Sasha and I looked at each other wanting to know more to our mysterious owners past, but we didn't want to press the issue. So we just did as commanded to her and accompanied her to the city with a silent walk.
Upon reaching the city the night life was about to begin, seeing this I knew we would have to hurry before would have to carry the beastly trainer. We walked for about twenty minutes before the city went almost dark, then the street lights came on. This was a warning before the main attraction from the store would start up.
Krystal then looked back to Sasha and me and nodded, and then we looked to each other and nodded. We all took off running at full speed towards the hotel. Nothing really on the streets to slow us down we kept at pace with each other mainly me being the slowest of the three of us on my hind legs.
It took about ten minutes before we reached the door. We came in stumbling from the run and I was tired from the speed that I ran. With a deep breath I took I regained my composure and saw that Sasha and Krystal were making their way up the stairs. My gaze wouldn't leave Sasha though; I wanted to know more about her and why in everything in my being felt like it knew her from the past. I would have to ask her before the night ends, I can't put off not knowing about my past any longer if she knew anything I am going to get it out of her.
"Ohhh Ferali! We're going to leave you if you don't move along you big nut!" Krystal said with a now playful singing voice.
I looked and saw Krystal looking at me from up the stairs smiling, then turning away flicking her hair.
After I made the climb up all the steps to our floor I looked down the hallway only to find that Krystal and Sasha have already went into the room. When I walked up to the door to open it, it was locked....I tapped my claw on the door and I heard a voice of a three year old on the other side saying, "Who is it?"
"A big scary monster here to gobble you and your Pokémon up, now open up!" I said half kidding and half annoyed.
"My mommy said I shouldn't let big scary monsters inside, so I'm sorry you'll have to go somewhere else!" Krystal said while giggling rather rapidly.
"Oh come on Krystal I'm tired and wanna get some shut eye, open up please! Before I start attracting unwanted attention and you'll have to explain why you have a talking Feraligatr." I said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh fine you crybaby..." She said as she was opening the door.
She was wearing her usual nightwear when she opened the door. I blush a little as I walked in pass her; I notice that she was looking at me half eyed with a smug frown on her face.
I looked over to her bed and nothing was in it except for the clothes that she wore for today. Knowing where I was going I closed my eyes lazily and walked over to the couch that I called bed, I fell over on it taking a deep breath only to smell something interesting. My eyes shot open to see Sasha lying face to face on the bed looking at me as if I just did something weird.
"Down girl...."
She then looked at me with sad puppy dog eyes and gave me a small lick on the nose.
I took a sigh and said again, "Not going to work, down girl."
At that moment I felt something grab me on the tail and yank me off the couch I didn't struggle nor grab on anything, because I already knew who it was. When hit the ground I landed on a few pillows I just sighed and began to nod off.
No....I need to ask her about this now.
The lights went out as I heard Krystal getting into her bed and pulling the covers over her.
Now's my chance to ask her...
"Sasha you awake I need to ask you something." I said quietly.
"Yeah what is it?" she answered back.
"When I ask you this I want you to be honest with me ok." I said.
"No, I'm not in heat, so no I don't wanna be your mate..." She said misreading my question.
"What the hell are you talking about I don't want a mate I want answers about my past. I feel that you know them something inside my body is telling me that I once knew you..." I said louder as the conversation got awkward.
"Shhh...before you wake Krystal up, no I don't know you or about your past you must thinking about someone else or another Absol." She said in a sleepy way.
I was really beginning to become rather sleepy myself and didn't want to press the issue to much longer, and I didn't want to keep bothering her for something like that. Plus she seemed trustworthy so I left it at that, and then began to drift off to sleep only to hear Krystal mumble to herself, "What do you know about me?"Chapter End Notes:Thank you for reading everyone, please be sure to tell me what you think of the story so far! I'm really enjoying myself with it.
