There's no such thing as bad omens || Lyra & Leaf
She has always wanted to give the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City a visit.
Leaf stood there, staring at the rotted building, showing off its old scars from the engulfing flames that took a hold of it years ago. The atmosphere seems pretty dead, too, as if there was a force field of death that surrounded the area, trying to protect whatever was left from any intruders.
Why didn’t she visit this place before when she journeyed through the Johto region? The answer was simple.
Just the thought of them brought a shiver crawling up her spine. She really didn’t have a problem with Ghost-type Pokemon (she has one stored away), but when they’re in their environment, it’s hard not to be spooked and think if those ghosts were once other types of Pokemon in the past. Like how she heard how Red rescued a baby Cubone and helped the mother Marowak be in peace. The thought of being haunted by an angry Pokemon spirit didn’t sound too great.
Her eyes spotted a small shrine for the Pokemon that did die in the fire. Ah, well, at least it wasn’t inside the building; she wasn’t sure if she would have been able to handle that if it was.
She took slow steps towards the shine, sensing that something inside stirred at her sudden presence. There were no flowers or offerings, since she didn’t plan that far ahead. This trip was, admittedly, a last minute idea that she had while in Goldenrod City. If it weren’t for her curiosities being elsewhere and her always wanting to be on the go after she finished what she was doing in the area, she would be visiting the two towers in Ecruteak City more often.
Leaf paused once she was a couple feet from the shine. The tablet looked worn, but still had the look that someone was trying their best to look its best. She reached out and lightly touched the tablet, believing that this was the only way to physically touch the spirits.
The visit wouldn’t be complete without her Raichu popping out of his Pokeball and landing beside her. Leaf eyed her Pokemon, making sure that he would behave at the shrine. She didn’t want the spirits to be upset with her for what Raichu did.
"Rai.." The Pokemon stared at the tablet, lowering his ears and tail, causing Leaf to frown at the sight. She knew that Raichu knew what happened here and that it didn’t need to be explained. Kneeling, she pat the Raichu’s head, giving him a reassuring smile.
"Hey, I’m sure they’re fine," she stated softly. The tale of a Legendary Pokemon reviving three Pokemon from the fire, bringing three more legendary creatures to life. If the story was true or not was something she wasn’t sure on. Rumors have been said that the three beasts have been spotted, and even named. Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. Fire, lightning, and water. She wouldn’t mind seeing the trio herself if given the chance.
However, now was not the time to think about that. Especially when the sounds from inside the scorched building started getting a little louder.
"I-I don’t think they want any more visitors…" she whispered, glancing over to the Pokemon to see if he agreed. Unfortunately for her, he was more interested in what the sounds were than trying to stay away. Of course.
His ears were on high alert, ready to pounce on anything that might try to jump out on them. This only lasted for a moment before he ran towards the building.
"R-Raichu! Don’t go any closer!" she cried out, standing tall with her hands near her face. Any courage that she had before this moment, was now replaced fairly quickly by fear. Fear that her Raichu was going to give her a bad omen and they will start haunting her for the rest of her life.
Though, fear soon turned into panic when the Raichu disappeared in the building. “Come back here! Raichu!”
