Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 3: Fear.

I froze at the spot when I saw the small fox Pokémon looking up at me. My feet couldn't move, as I am already so close to the little creature staring at me in wonder

"Hey.." Shauna slowly stood up. My eyes stayed on the Pokémon with its tail wagging "I'm Shauna...We met earlier when you arrived, remember?" I could finally take my eyes off the Pokémon and looked at her nervous smile "N-Nice to meet you!" My constant stare was making her shake "W-What did you say your name was again?"

"It was Sophia, was it?" The tall guy with a short pony tail smiled "I can't believe you don't remember! It's nice to meet you! I'm Tierno, and this is Trevor right here" he pointed at the short stuff with red hair beside him. I scoffed at him, making him and Shauna flinch a bit.

From the corner of my eye, the guy in the red hat chuckled with a happy smile and opened a seat for me before taking a seat next to Shauna, who was staring at him in complete shock "Please sit, we have important matters to discuss about Serena's disappearance" I furrowed my brows confused "We usually come here from time to time to discuss the progress of the search"

"It's been a month since her disappearance and this little huddle of yours isn't doing a thing?" I crossed my arms "you guys better have something good or I'm leaving" everyone frowned at each other

"I couldn't find anything..." Shauna looked down

"Neither could we... to tell the truth" Travis frowned with Terno. I rolled my eyes and turned my back

"Just as I thought. This was a waste of my time. Don't worry about finding her anymore. It's going to be my job from now on" I looked at Red Hat standing up

"You haven't heard what I have to say" I turned to him, looking all serious. What's with this guy? "You say you're going to find her on your own? What do you know about this region anyways?" I was taken back a little "What exactly do you even know? Since you just got here" I groaned and faced him completely, ready to snap, but kept my cool

"Nothing! My own mother hasn't even told me about Serena going missing! I had to find out on my own when she stopped calling me! I had to find out on my own about everything!" I pushed myself to calm down "I went through a lot, having to do things on my own. I never rely on anyone for help, so I don't care what you have to say. Your information might be useless for all I know. Anyways..." I tried to flip my hair, but forgot that I had a scarf on "I don't have time for any of this... if you don't have anything useful to say, don't bother me..." I took a deep breath and backed away from everyone before turning around and head back home. Something called towards me, something that stopped my feet from moving

"Huh..?" I looked down to see the fox Pokémon jumping off the table and walking towards me slowly. I panicked a little inside and found my feet moving away on their own. Red Hat guy came over to pick it up and faced me. I couldn't take my eyes off the little creature.

I remember seeing it for the first time behind the screen when Serena was showing it to me, telling me that her Pokémon had a egg. She begged me to keep it and have her send it over to me all the way to Sinnoh. Not only is it illegal to transport Pokémon that don't belong in a region's environments, it may cause disease if the Pokémon doesn't adapt to the new agriculture. Even if there are ways to take care of that situation, I kept telling her it's too risky in order to prevent her from finding out that I'm terrified of any Pokémon that isn't artificial

"This little guy seems to like you, not even caring that you have a bad attitude" Red hat guy smirked. I glared at his remark "this is Fennekin. It belonged to Serena before she went missing. This little guy is the only evidence of where she disappeared" my eyes widened. He offered his hand again "you shouldn't go empty handed. We know much more than you do. If your mom hasn't told you of the disappearance yet, I'm sure you're not going to get anywhere with the information you have now. Let's help each other out" I stared at his hand, trying to hold a glare. I was just uncertain...
