The Spark in the Snow

Solving it!

Spark's POV

"Spark are you ok?" Crystal came walking over to me. "Yeah I'm fine just..... a bit sad about the fact that everyone is scared of me except for you." I replied. "Yeah about that, Sylvia and Dolly wanted to say something to you."  I gave her a weird look but she just smiled at me. "Follow me." And so I started following her until we came back to the spot where they had their talk. Suddenly Sylvia and Dolly came rushing at me and started hugging me without any signs of being scared of me. I wonder what Crystal has done to them. "We're so sorry Spark. We know you're a nice guy but knowing your power is a bit scary sometimes..." Dolly told me. "And we think that if we get to know you a bit better we won't be scared anymore and that we can be friends." Sylvia added. I was quiet for a while and in the corner of my eye I saw Crystal smiling at the sight of us. I was still a bit sad that they were scared of me and because of that I was only able to say. "I understand...." Dolly and Sylvia looked kind of disappointed in my answer. I guess they hoped for more so I spoke up again. "I mean I really do get it, I'm still a kind of stranger for you 2 and with the strength I apparently have..... that must be scary." I smiled at them and they let go of the hug and this time they seemed satisfied with my answer. "Thanks Spark, I'm glad you understand." Dolly said. "But unfortunately I'm not really sure how we will get the inhabitants of forest Grotto to not be scared of me when I see you guys like this. All they know is what they heard and that basically describes me as a dangerous and monstrous Pokémon." Sylvia frowned and then told me something. "I'm not sure either.... but it doesn't hurt to try." "And we really do know some good things about you. For example, you're extremely nice, you don't want to hurt anyone unless you have to and that you're cute." My face started becoming red again and Dolly saw this and quickly spoke up again. "I-I didn't mean it that way! I swear!" "Umm... okay?" I replied. Dolly looked away from me and looked towards Crystal and she seemed shocked and not in a good way. "Crystal, are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah I'm fine." Crystal walked over to Dolly and whispered something in her ear but I couldn't make out what it was. "Anyway, it's getting late. If we wanna save Spark's reputation around here than we should go now." Sylvia said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and so we walked towards square Grotto. On the way there nobody spoke up and it was awkward. I still had the text of Dolly printed in my head but I didn't think she actually meant it. Just a second ago she was scared of me so I think it's probably nothing. Once we arrived, Sylvia asked me to wait around the corner while they gather the Pokémon. I couldn't see anything but I did hear everything. "Inhabitants of square Grotto please gather around us for an important massage!" Sylvia screamed. I heard a huge crowd of Pokémon walking closer to where Crystal, Sylvia and Dolly were standing. "Thank you everyone for coming! Now please listen to us." Sylvia said and then someone else spoke up. "There is a new eeveelution in forest Grotto and he's here to kindly introduce himself for you all. But before he comes we would like to say some things about him first." Dolly said and to finish it off Crystal spoke up. "He is a nice Pokémon and he has no interest in hurting anyone. He comes from a place called..... forest Dome." The crowd gasped in horror and waited for Crystal to speak up again. "There is no need to be scared of him we promise you that." The crowd began to whisper but was quickly silenced by Dolly. "Now we would kindly introduce you toooooooo...... SPARK!" I took that as a sign for me to walk up and so I did. When the crowd saw me they were horrified but surprisingly nobody ran away. Once I got close to where Dolly, Sylvia and Crystal were standing the Pokémon in the front took some distance away from me. "Ummm... as you were just told my name is Spark and I'm a jolteon. I know some of you probably already know me in a bad way but I promise you I have absolutely no intention in hurting anyone unless absolutely necessary in my defence. So I hoped to explain what had exactly happened between me and Dolly. Dolly can you help me with this one please?" I asked and Dolly immediately replied. "Of course! Let me explain everything. It started with me meeting Spark and as almost everyone in the crowd here knows I can sense someone's power. And seeing his power I got scared but also curious. After I met Spark I immediately challenged him to a friendly battle and he agreed. Unfortunately though Spark himself didn't know he was that strong. He only fired a shadow ball at me but it ended up hurting me pretty bad. Sylvia healed me and brought me home and I think the rest of you know the rest of the story." I looked away from the crowd ready to get judged but nobody said anything. I sighed and started walking off stage but then somebody in the crowd spoke up. " We're so sorry Spark, we didn't know." I turned my head around and the whole crowd apparently stared at me with guilt written all over their faces. I stared at them in surprise and everything was quiet for a while until another Pokémon spoke up in the crowd. "We are so sorry, is there any way we can make it up to you?" I turned my head towards the Pokémon who spoke up. Apparently the one who spoke up was the leavanny that I saw a few days ago. "You already made it up to me by accepting me, I would like to thank everyone in the crowd for this." "Thank us!? We god darn terrorised you! Of course we have to make it up to you! Everyone please help me to prepare a welcoming's party for Spark and please can a few Pokémon go to his house and clean it up a bit!?" I stood there dumbfounded at what the loudred said and all I was able to say was "......thank all of you so much......"
