Guardian's Journey

[Guardians Journey]

Running. It's all that ever happens to him. Guardian just wanted to find somewhere to settle down, but whenever he got to a town, it would never feel... Right. His gut instinct told him to keep going. There wasn't much he could remember from his amnesiac past, but there were Pokémon he could, like Whiscash, Absol, Gardevoir and a grass-type Guardian could tell he had been very close to, and this often distressed him. Guardian generally avoided dungeons, but had been through a couple as there were no other ways around it. He was a powerful pokémon, but preferred to use it in dire need, and yet whenever he was faced in battle, he felt an odd desire to show off. In fact, whenever he was in front of other Pokemon he felt this desire. He didn't recognise it, as he was alone for too much time. Right now, Guardian was in a forest that he had wandered into after the last town. And he was drifting to his half sleep where he could dream, yet his aura would alert him to anything around. The only rest he could ever have.

Piper was leaping through the treetops, savoring her new lease of freedom. She had finally been allowed to head out of her village to start a new life of adventuring. She was heading for Amaryllis Town, where she would sign up for a guild to train at. Piper stopped at a large oak tree to settle down for the night, exhaustion from traveling taking over. She crawled down the tree to a hollowed out part, and was about to step in. But there was someone already there. It was blue, and like nothing Piper had seen before. It had black stripes, sort of, and a small necklace with a sapphire core. It also wore a scarf round its neck. She edged. Closer to the Pokemon, whose eyes flew open. It jumped up, into a fighting stance and said, "What do you want?"
"I was just looking for somewhere to stay," Piper replied.
"No harm meant?" it said, it's eyes suddenly softening.
"No. What's your name? What are you doing in this forest? What are you?"
"Slow down. I'm a Riolu named Guardian. Other than that I have no recollection of my past. Amnesia, you could say."
"So what are you doing in this forest? And why are you looking at me like that?"
"You- you're a Treecko aren't you? You remind of someone that I possibly once held close to me...
"Yes, of course I'm a Treecko. I'm headed for Amaryllis Town, a town somewhere near here. I want to join a guild."

A guild, treecko, forest... It was hurting Guardian's mind so much...

Guardian doubled over in pain, suddenly breaking down. Piper stepped back, alarmed, yet worried about this Pokemon.
A dark outline next to Guardian as he climbs some stairs... It looks similar to Piper...
A forest, Guardian sat round the fire with this Pokemon just behind him. The memory wouldn't let him turn. He heard the pokemon talking about joining a guild...
A town, full of Pokemon, but he felt fear as the Pokemon looked angry...
And the flashback stopped. He sat, panting slightly, and Piper ran over.
"Are you alright?" she said, alarmed. "You screamed something, and collapsed!"
"It- It was a flashback. I occasionally get them, but I've never had one as big, or as significant as that." Guardian replied, trying to sound calm, but thinking about this memory. "I think I used to be in some kind of team with a Pokemon, that looked a bit like you. I only saw the outline, and heard its voice, but I'm sure it was a boy. He also suggested something to do with a guild."
"A- a team? Like... A rescue team?" Piper said uncertainly.
"Yes. I'm pretty sure that's what it was."
This Riolu used to be in a rescue team... That's what I'm setting out to do... Maybe, just maybe we could form a team! Piper thought.
