Chapter 3: Chapter 03 Terrible Day for Rain
Running with all my might while carrying an incubator and a unique pokeball, trying to ignore the destroyed castle in the background and the destruction throughout the city. Trying to maintain a stoic face but it's completely ruined by the tears that just won't stop. Why? WHY!? WHY!!?… why must I lose my family no matter what life I live… I hate myself who just listened and ran away, I hate my powerless self subject to the whims of others. I hate this pain in my chest that won't go away. I hate the tears that sting my face. Most of all I hate that I couldn't change what was coming. I'm just a weak kid, and deep inside I knew I always was. No one else but me can feel this, the feeling of something inside of me breaking.
~A few hours before~
It's been 6 years and I'm finally 10, soon I'll be getting my first pokemon. Unfortunately I can't be excited. Because of my wish for these eyes, these eyes that can see the impending doom of my home. It started with just a slight black aura in the distance but it slowly encroached this kingdom in its entirety. I tried to tell my parents that I had a feeling something bad would happen, but how could they understand what I see? For them it was thinking that I was having nightmares and tried to help me. But I knew it was hopeless after that one conversation we had when I was 6.
"Please father! Let's leave this place, I know something terrible is going to happen, why won't you listen to me!?" I pleaded to him with desperation in my voice, because I didn't want to lose my new family. They were my everything, a part of me I didn't want to lose.
"ENOUGH! I can't just abandon my duty to this kingdom and my home. Even if I wanted to leave, I took an oath to protect this kingdom even if disaster should befall it, for this is my noblesse oblige. So please, enough of your paranoia based on nightmares." Oh how much I wanted to tell you father, it's not just a child's nightmares…
I knew then that I wouldn't be able to change the course of fate, I'm just a child no matter how blessed I was. So I did the only thing to distract me from the despair in my heart, I trained like a madman. I took up swordsmanship and began training my body along with my aura. Because of my blessings I was born in this family with dragon blood which enhanced my body and mind. I was a prodigy in the eyes of the others, but I could just barely beat the apprentice knights. While knights were just too far ahead, whether it be physical strength or aura. I was still a growing child, I couldn't beat biology. While I trained my body I also trained my mind. I took in as much knowledge as I could whether it be agriculture, management, engineering, pokemon food, etc. I knew, should my home fall it can always be rebuilt as long as I had my family to support me. By the time I turned 10 I was almost as strong as the knight commander of my family's personal army. It was unheard of for a child of my age to ever achieve what I have. I was hailed as the next Sword of Celestine throughout the kingdom. But without a pokemon partner I would never be able to match the stronger powers in the kingdom. Soon though, I will finally get a pokemon egg to raise today. Raising a pokemon from an egg lets you connect with your partner better, imprinting you as family.
I take a moment to stop thinking about these things and take a look at my reflection in the pond, ignoring the water pokemon swimming about. My fluffy white hair that looks pristine like Reshiram. My caramel colored skin without blemishes. Golden eyes like the sun with a dragon like slits, and my long eyelashes, with a small beauty mark underneath my left eye. I have my mother's white hair, golden eyes and charm. While my eyes resemble my father more along with my skin tone. My father has violet red eyes and hair as black as the night sky.

I'm interrupted by a warm embrace I know fondly to be my mother and her tranquil voice. "What is my little dragon thinking about so deeply that he ignores his poor mother?"
"It's nothing mom, I'm just watching the finneon swim. I-" As I turn to my mother I'm filled with trepidation and heartbreak. Surrounding my mother is the black aura of demise, something I never wanted to see. Something inside of me breaks and the tears won't stop. I plunge into my mother's embrace, holding onto her tightly. Knowing that this might be the last time. She looks with shock seeing me like this, I've never really cried even when I've gotten hurt when I was younger. Sensing my sadness with her mother's instinct she holds me tighter. "There, there little one, don't cry. Your mother is here and she will always be even if it doesn't seem like it. I love you so much my little Rían.." She silently cries as she also feels what's coming. With the kingdoms preparing for war, she knows we will be the first to fight because we border the Pearl Kingdom.
"No it isn't mom! You can't see what I see! If I was born just to see my family die then I wish I wasn't born at all! -" *Smack* Pulling me from my broken-hearted tirade, unconsciously putting a hand to my cheek she just slapped. I see my mother with tears and hurt on her face.
"Don't you ever say you wish you were never born! You are my son, my little miracle. When you are a mother, you are never alone in your thoughts. A mother has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. I'm always thinking about you, because you are my child. To say that you wish you were never born is the same as killing your mother. You don't know this but for me, my child is an anchor that holds my life. You are an inseparable part of me, someone I raise with blind love. I know you're scared about the future. But you need to know, a mother's love will never end. It is there from beginning to end. So don't ever say you wish that you were never born…"
I regret saying that, I should've never said something like that. My mother was so sure of me, she loves me so much, she's someone I should never disappoint. Unfortunately I did just that. So I ran to my mother's embrace. "I'm so sorry mom! I love you so much, I love my family most of all. I just don't want to lose any of you! I know this is selfish, just let me have this childish selfishness of mine! I don't want anything else in the world just to be with my family!" This is the first time that I've had a family like this, I don't want to lose it.
"You silly child, I already told you we will always be with you, even when it seems like we aren't. You may not understand this now, but I know you will later. After all you're such a brilliant child, I'm so proud to be your mother." Kissing my head and trying to soothe my anxiety, we stay like that for a little while.
*BOOM* *KABOOM* *BOOM*
All of the sudden there are explosions in the background. In the distance you can see the legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia fighting. It seems the other kingdoms awakened the mythical rulers of space and time to destroy their enemies. Only to be caught up in the destruction of their hubris.
My mother and I try to reorient ourselves after coming out of our trance from the battle in the distance. Running towards us is my father with a pokemon egg in an incubator and a unique pokeball. "Emilia! Rían! Thank goodness both of you are alright." With visible anxiety on his face he seems to be thinking about something. With a solemn face he turns to me. "Son, take your mother and run away, here's the pokemon egg and a special pokeball that has been handed down in our family. You need to get away from here. I'm sorry I can't come with you both but even if it is only a second more I need to protect you both and the people. Go! NOW!"
Handing me what he was holding he turns away from us to face what he knows is his end. "I love you both so much, I only wish that there was more time to say more. There was so much more I wanted to say. Son, I'm so proud of the young man you've become, but you must remain strong." With indescribable pain in my heart I take my mom's hand and attempt to run with her. Only to be stopped. Please don't do this… My mother gives me one of her usual smiles, "You must go on your own my love. A mother must do what she must to protect her children. Your father won't be able to stall for everyone to retreat for long with the knights on his own. You know your mom is pretty strong too. Eric, you remember our vows right?" My father gives a sad nod in acknowledgment, "Till death do us part.." Please mom, dad don't leave me! "Please my little dragon stay strong and run with all your might, survive. I love you…"
With that my parents leave to battle in an attempt to repel the Mythical Pokemon from our lands and allow people to escape. It wasn't till I heard a mechanical voice in my head with a message that I began to move.

So I did the only thing a coward like me could do, I ran. Towards the direction of the only way to escape this madness, I ran. Until I couldn't feel my legs, I ran. Holding my last mementos of my family, I ran. To a place where I wouldn't be reminded of what I lost in mere moments, I ran. Ignoring cries for help, I ran. With self-loathing I ran and I ran.
My bangs covering my face, I felt a liquid streak down my face, "What a terrible day for rain."
