“But you don’t need to leave! The Invaders are retreating!” the Princess pleaded, the Knight’s usual cheerful smile gone, replaced with a sad frown. “Please…” Thinking about it, the Knight sighed, turning away and facing the portal. Ready to take the next step, the Knight is shocked when their hand is taken.

“Really?” Sam asks as they begin their journey back home. “That’s all you remember?” Thinking to himself, he struggled to find anything else.

“Sorry,” the jackal apologized, feeling awful about how little he can give her.

“Well, it isn’t your fault,” she returned, trying to make him feel better. “I mean, your entire body literally became something different. Something is bound to h

Sam had always been interested in the beauty of nature. The sun would always cast beams of light through the green leaves of the forest; enough to see, but it would still be slightly dim. On top of that, there was an abundance of wildlife, including birds that would constantly chirp and bugs that would scurry around. And since they were pokemon, they were all too large to hide from plain sight.


As she made her way through the forest, a trail had been ma

The chirping of birds eventually drilled into her ears enough to wake her. Sam slowly opened her eyes, exposing them to the soft light of dawn. Yawning, she sat herself up to see the pond. It was still so beautiful, she could admire it all day long. Then she remembered that she didn’t have a lot of time.

Waking up, Sam opened her eyes. Sunlight burning her retina’s, she quickly closes them, raising an arm. Her eyes sufficiently adjusted, she lowered her arm to see Rio standing over the liepard.

The bright shine of the sun piercing through her closed eyelids, Sam yawned as slumber lost its hold. Looking to the fire, it had burned out, leaving ash in the bottom. Looking across the pit, she noticed that Rio had already gone.
Probably getting something to eat
, she thought, the horrible image flashing in her mind once more.

Thinking about eating made her own stomach growl. As she was reaching for her bag, she noticed a little someth

Sam was always infatuated with the beauty of nature. The glowing sun casting beams of light through the bright green leaves of the forest, lighting up just enough to keep the surface slightly dim. And then there was the wildlife. Birds chirping, bugs squirming, plenty to find if you look. And being pokemon, most of them weren’t small enough to hide easily.

Walking through the forest, a path had been carved long before she took it. Taking in the nature, Sam was trul

A beam of light pierced the sky from the heavens, bright enough to burn her to ash. Shielding her eyes from the rays, she heard a voice call to her.

“Today you’ll be a part of something greater.” The voice leaving her before she could ask anything, her eyes were blinded by the sudden darkness engulfing her.




Foot after foot, she made her escape. She could hear the beasts barking and gro
