Guarded by a Suicune (White-wolf & I)

[EvaRose]

They were all running to it at the same pace, going to the burned building that they died in before being revived by Ho-oh. A blue moon hung up high in sky, sending a soft blue glow down onto the earth below that lit the world just enough for a person to see a few feet in front of them but no more. The three legendary beasts were all able to bound through the forest as fast as they possibly could, dodging any pokemon who happened to be in their way as they did so. The Suicune moved as swiftly as it could through the forest, its paws barely touching the ground as it did so until finally it's red eyes landed on the burnt Brass Tower that stood before it. Only once in a blue moon did they do this, go to the Tower that they were revived inside of together.

"So, you felt the need to come as well?"

The Suicune turned his head around to look at the Entei and Raikou who stood near the doorway of the burned tower. "Of course I did," he said as he changed to his anthro form as well, slowly standing up on his two hind paws as he looked at his companions. Raikou and Entei both wore similar robes in that form as well; Entei's was red and grey while Raikou's was yellow and black. "How could I not feel the need to come when this night resembles... that one so much?"

"Yes," the Entei said softly, nodding his head before looking up at the blue moon above as the clouds began to huddle together. "Which is why we must be here tonight. Let us retire to the top floor, perhaps talk to each other about the things we've seen since we last encountered one another."

"I want to look around first," Suicune said before the others could turn away.

"What would you want to do that for?" Raikou snapped. Even in that form, one could see the long, protruding teeth it had.

"Let him be, it's not as though any of use can't take our time. It's been almost 200 hundred years, I think we can wait an hour or two longer before talking to one another." Entei argued on Suicune's behalf before turning and stepping into the building.

Suicune stood there for a moment, clenching his fist tightly before turning around to look at the town surrounding the tower, making sure that no humans had seen them before stepping through the doorway and inside. Unlike the others who made their way up the steps, he started to make his way down to the basement, to the very spot they found themselves in when they were revived.

 

[White-wolf]

Eris couldn't help but nearly jump for joy the moment her brother had won two tickets to Jhoto. She had always dreamed of the day when she could travel around the world and...well this was the closest thing to the first step.

Naturally the moment their ship hit land her brother parted ways to take on some gyms, not that she minded...he needed to burn out all that energy he seemed to always have. However now that she was alone she whipped out her map and headed straight towards Ecruteak City, supposedly the place was historical and quite a thing to look at so she headed there. As she went down the road to the city her glaceon went about and trotted happily behind her. At least she had brought her lucky dark purple trench coat as it kept the rain out.

---- a while later

Eventually once she reached the city it started to rain a bit and not really knowing the place she headed into the first building in sight. She wasn't sure what it was but she could tell the place was well maintained despite the fact that most of the back part seemed burned.

The moment she entered the old burned down tower she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. The energy in that place just seemed to give her goosebumps and make her dark navy hair stand on end

“What is this place...”
She muttered lowly while her green eyes scanned the area...what was this place...hm perhaps this was one of the old buildings in the city?

However her mind soon shifted direction as she heard someone else lingering in the building and naturally she approached him for directions.

“Er...excuse me can you tell me what is this place?”

 

[EvaRose]

At first, he thought he just heard something, but when he turned around and saw the human female standing there his eyes went wide before they narrowed. "You... you shouldn't be in hear tonight. You must leave." Even he could not hear the footsteps of Raikou or Entei, both of whom wouldn't like it if there happened to be a human there on such a night. Any other day and they would be fine with it, but that night was a sacred one in their eyes. He glanced down at the glaceon she had with her before looking at the human again, shaking his head guickly before taking a step forward. "You must leave this place before my companions notice that you're here, they will not be kind to trespassing humans on this day."

"Suicune, hurry up!" Raikou shouted from above. "The storm is growing stronger!"

"I'm coming! He called out in frustration. He could hear the howling winds from there and knew that going outside wasn't much of an option, no matter what the others might say. "Until the storm dies down, you may stay. By the way, this is the Burned Tower, one of the Twin Towers. And I am Suicune."

 

[White-wolf]

The moment the man turned around she noted that his expression meant that...perhaps she walked into a place she shouldn't have. Oh great she was going to be seen as one of those dim minded tourists who walked around without a clue of anything.

So in hopes of not pissing off the stranger she asked in forgiveness. "I'm sorry I just rushed in here but I'm not from Jhoto...and It kind of started to rain... I-I can understand why anyone would be pissed off at a tourist walking into a historical site." She ended before looking down in clear shame, hopefully she wouldn't be on their bad side as she could clearly hear that there was another in the tower as well...hmm perhaps they where some kind of secret group or something...yeah that must be it...besides it was also dark as hell and she couldn't see anyone clearly.

"Oh man that's pretty cool, your parent's named you after a pokemon...man I'm jealous." She said with a slight amused tone before walking to corner of the tower and sat down while returning her pokemon, at least she would respect that this man gave an intruder kindness.

So without another word she took out her map from her bag and started to look up 'burned tower'.

 

[EvaRose]

"Well, actually I..." He stopped speaking, knowing then that she couldn't see him in the dark, or at least make out the features that would reveal him for what he was. He was thankful for that too, because chasing off Pokemon trainers who wanted to catch him was a pain. He was on that world for a reason, and if he weren't around then waters would get polluted and forests would die and whatnot. So he couldn't just let them catch him with one of those pokeballs. "Whatever you do, try not to make a sound," he whispered before turning and starting to walk up the stairs. Lightning flashed outside, thunder roared and the strong wind howled. The building creaked as though the wind itself was pushing it, but this place would not fall yet. Suicune made his way up the stairs and to the other two legendaries who stood at the hole near the back, standing to Entei's right side and farthest away from Raikou, all three looking out in silence at the forest beyond the City. The water pokemon was a bit anxious though, knowing that there was a human there who shouldn't be around. If the others were to find out then what would they do with her in the first place? He was unsure, and it was because of his unsureness that he didn't tell them. He just hoped she could stay quiet enough not to be heard.

 

[White-wolf]

"Allright." She said casually as Suicune vanished into the building.

The more she read the more she came to realize that this place was more than historical. The old burned down tower was actually one of two towers but this one had burned down in a fierce storm, however what caught her eye was the legend surrounding the place. Supposedly before it burned a pokemon used to roost in the place but it left when it burned. The second legend was about three pokemon that fell to the fire, and their names obviously caught her attention.

Entei, Raikou, and Suicune...oh must be some kind of tradition to name kids after the legendaries here she thought. Oh what she would give to have been named after a legendary.

So with a long sigh she saved her map back in her satchel and remained in her corner while listening to the storm outside, everything seemed to creak in the old burned down tower as the wind roared and rain started to beat down.

Where had Suicune gone? Perhaps he was one of those historical guys who restored the place and he was making sure the storm wouldn't damage the place. Well wherever he went she was bored but she dared not to make a noise otherwise he could come back angry...besides he looked rather odd despite the fact that she could barely see...save for the brief flashes of lightning.

So with a bored sigh her dark navy eyes shifted around the area, she just hoped that this whole place wouldn't fall down because of how much noise it was making.

 

[EvaRose]

They stood there for some time before Raikou turned around to look at Suicune, his eyes narrowed slightly before he moved toward his companion. "Earlier, I heard you talking to somebody. Was it a pokemon? No, it couldn't be because you smell like a human. Is there a human in here?

Suicune met the other's gaze and narrowed his own eyes as well. The tension in the room could be felt by all who were near, and even Entei began to move uncomfortably as he looked at them. "There was one," he said, "But I made her leave, of course. I know very well that we can't have anyone around today." He knew how the Raikou worked though and knew that this wasn't about to be dropped. He was right too, because as soon as the other legendary opened his mouth something that Suicune didn't want to hear came out.

"Very well then, to make sure that there aren't any more I think we should all split up and look through the rooms."

"Yes, Suicune, you can look down in the first four floors as well as the basement. Come Raikou, we can split up somewhere depending on who's going down or up the stairs."

Suicune watched them leave, standing for a moment before rushing to the stairs and down them as fast as he could. He could hear another's footsteps following him and he looked back and saw that Raikou was on his heels. The water-type legendary quickly changed back to his pokemon form and jumped down each flight, though the Raikou did the same. Suicune stopped before he could reach the basement that he left the human girl in and turned to the Raikou. "We can't just let her out in this storm! She might die!"

"I'll kill her before the storm can!"

Suicune rushed forward and headbutted the Raikou, making the other fall back before the water-type legendary began to bite and scratch at the electric type. Raikou roared though and sent a thunderbolt at Suicune, making the other shout out before moving back from the other. "You stop this Suicune! We both know that you're weaker than I! All this for one human! That human can't be here on this night, you know that better than us!"

 

[White-wolf]

She remained in her corner as she concentrated on the falling raindrops that started to leak from some places. Never before had she seen such a storm and she started to regret not checking into an hotel while she could. Ah what she'd give for a warm bed as she now started to drift off into a nap.

However she seemed to jolt straight awake the moment some rather loud noises started to come from above. Naturally she expected to see some spooked pokemon moving about as the tower creaked...but instead seeing some mere native pokemon she saw something else...no there was two pokemon that she had never seen before, and even in the dark she could tell that they where big and angry.

"Holy shit!" She said surprised as she wrapped around her satchel firmly and got up in a flash, oh great what did she do to deserve this. So without another word she clenched the pokeball that contained the strongest out of her four pokemon a Noivern that her brother had given her years ago...She was outnumbered but she knew she was well in danger.

 

[EvaRose]

Suicune and Raikou both heard her before they saw her. The thunder poke on lifted his gaze to look and Suicune headbutted the yellow legendary before scrambling away from him and to the girl. He ducked down just as he ran in front of her so that she was forced to get on his back, maybe not the right way but he couldn't care less at the moment. He heard a roar come from Raikou as he rushed out of the Tower, a bolt of lightning dashing down from the clouds and hitting the ground behind him as he ran to the forest as fast as he could. 'Don't move too much!' He said to her, mentally speaking to her since she wouldn't be able to understand him if he spoke at the moment.

He was mostly leaping through the forest as fast as he possibly could without making her fall off his furry back. He was a rather large pokemon of 6 feet and 7 inches in height, larger even than most humans were, so it was rather easy to scare them. He stopped once he came to a cave, looking into it to see that none of the rain water was getting into it, which meant that it was the only place he could put her at the moment. The suicune went into the cave and laid down on the floor, the top layer of his fur already starting to soak.

 

[White-wolf]

Everything around her seemed to go in slow motion as the two pokemon brawled, never before had she seen something like the blue and yellow creatures before her...hmm... could these two be the fabled Suicune and Raikou.

Well whatever they where she clearly had no time to think as she suddenly found herself on the blue one's back. She wasn't even facing the right direction but she grabbed onto it's purple hair in hopes of not falling off. Eventually as the pokemon sprinted out of the tower she noticed how the yellow one wasn't very happy as it seemed to attack and miss them on the way out...oh jesh...

But then she heard a familiar voice in her mind...and it seemed to send a shiver down her spine...no it couldn't be?

She held onto the blue pokemon's back as it sprinted through the forest at quite the speed wondering where it was heading in such a hurry. Plus she was getting drenched from the whole storm going around at the moment...but much to her benefit the pokemon stopped in a cave and she got off it's back without another word.

"Thanks for saving me from that yellow dude...under coincidence would you be that man that I ran into on the way in?" She asked while looking at the silhouette of the large blue pokemon in whatever little light there was.

 

[EvaRose]

Suicune looked at her, able to easily see her even in the darkness of the cave. He slowly sat back on the floor of the cave, already in his anthro form and looking at her with his red eyes as he did so. "That's exactly who I am," he said softly. "I didn't mean for that to happen, I didn't think that Riakou would find out about you. Unfortunately, I might not be let off easy for this." He knew that neither of the others would let him off this time, letting a human into the Tower at such a precious time and all. The storm was still going on and seemed to have grown stronger since they got into the cave. It was though Ho-oh were angry with him now, and he reached up to feel the beating of his heart through his robes. Yes, he could feel it in his heart. They were all mad at him right now.

He swiveled his head around to look at the female human then got up, moving over to her, standing tall on his feet. He was about the same height in that form as he was in his pokemon form and stood above her, looking down at her for a moment before bending down, raising his furry hand and setting it on her forehead. "You weren't hurt when I ran like that, were you? If I had escorted you out earlier then this wouldn't of happened. But, it seems to be fate." His lips curved upwards into a small smile, as it was all he could muster.

 

[White-wolf]

For a moment her eyes went wide and she blinked a few times, did she really just see that? Did she really just see a pokemon take a humanoid form?...

Well whatever she had just seen only left her speechless as she stared at the red eyed, and very tall man once again. The entire situation she was in almost seemed dreamlike as the storm seemed to become fiercer by the minute, she couldn't help but blame herself for not staying where she was dropped off. Perhaps it was all her fault that she had dragged the legendary into this whole mess.

"No not at all...well maybe a bit dizzy but not too bad." She responded with a slight smile as she was grateful that she hadn't fallen off of him during the escape. Besides she had been riding him the wrong way and she barely managed to hold on to him.

"Could I do anything to help?...Besides it's kind of my fault you are stuck in this." She looked back at him, her voice truly sorry for the whole situation. She just felt as if she needed to do something to make up for her mistake.

 

[EvaRose]

"There's not much you can really do to help me," he said softly. "I just... I guess I just can't return for some time." He could hear the bit of apology in her voice and, in all truth, he hated it. There was no reason that she had to apologize for anything, not when all she did was go into the tower while seeking shelter from the ongoing storm. There was no reason for him to be angry with her either, and so he wasn't. He knew that it was his fault for not trusting his companions enough to explain it to them before things took a turn for the worse. However, given the way Raikou initially reacted, Suicune was also sure that it wouldn't of made a difference.

"Well," he said softly, "I have told you my name. Is it not polite for you to tell me yours as well?" He patted her forehead lightly before removing his hand and sitting down, cross-legged, in front of her. His red eyes were on her, not full of anger but steady and calm looking somehow. He was just ready to sit and listen to anything she happened to say.

 

[White-wolf]

She till seemed to feel bad about having put him into such a pickle, however despite the trouble he was in he sure seemed calm...must be a water type thing she thought. "I'm Eris." She responded to his question with a smile of her own, at least so far he had proven to be a friendly pokemon...unlike the yellow one that she assumed was Raikou.

"And obviously I am not from here, I came all the way from Unova with my brother...but he kind of went his own way." Odds are that at some point she'd run into him again during his gym badge collection spree. Actually she was sure that he'd run into her first as he want from town to town and city to city.

"So you really are the fabled pokemon that can run across lands with little effort and purify tainted water huh?" She asked curiously with a look that also showed the same as she herself sat down in a more comfortable manner.
