Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[AmethystRoze]

She snuggles closely to her mom lying down with her. Her panic replaced by concern and sadness. Simon, you should come over too she would like that. she thought to him.

 

[JessieSune]

Simon appears a few moments later and silently leans against the injured Ninetales.

"Sweetheart...I need...I need you to get me into the cave. You need to make me move. We can't stay out here."

Simon looks worried too, but he doesn't speak.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle nodded and levitate her bringing her to the cave, still scared but knowing she had to save mommy

 

[JessieSune]

Once inside and set gently down on the ground, she looks over you.

"You're not hurt. Good. I was afraid I would lose you. I'm so sorry, sweetie -- I didn't--"

She winces, unable to keep speaking.

"I think she needs to rest..." says Simon nervously. "Danielle -- can't you hypnotize her?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Yeah..." She said, still worried, but he had a good idea. "Sleep" she said in a more gentle tone then normal. "Sleep well"

 

[JessieSune]

Balaa's eyes droop, and her breathing becomes more regular.

"She'll be okay, I think," Simon says a little sadly. "You were very brave -- I thought I was going to be sick."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Her eyes became completely watery, and a few tears ran down her cheek. "I wasn't brave I ran away" she said nuzzling into mommies chest.

 

[JessieSune]

"She told you too," he says with a gentle pat. "You were brave in helping her get into the cave...don't beat yourself up about this."

 

[AmethystRoze]

She looked to Simon, eyes bloodshot and nearly threw herself at Simon, as sobs could be heard now.

 

[JessieSune]

He's initially caught off-guard, but then offers a gentle hug and just waits.

"She's going to be okay, Danielle. You did the right th-th-" he stutters. A glance at his eyes reveals they're glowing with a strange light.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"S...Simon.. are you.....evolving?" She asked even though it seemed, he coudnt respond.

 

[JessieSune]

He struggles, but seems overwhelmed.

"Silly Vulpix, of course he's not evolving. He's absorbing all that dark energy you're forcing into him. Goodness...most people are afraid of letting their fear control them -- but you have enough fear to control a whole other body!"

Simon's face develops a sinister smile as he speaks.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Wh... what? what happening?!" she yelled, her tails tucking underneath her legs. This was too much for the vulpix. "What are you saying?"

 

[JessieSune]

"I'm saying I'm you, Danielle. The other part of you that you try to hide. All that fear and worry -- personified in your Pichu friend. You're talking to yourself right now -- might as well get familiar, hm?"

Simon's mind is completely shut down now, and the other...mind...is now using his full expression. He gives you a coy grin and scratches his head.

"A very small body for so much mind -- good thing this Pichu is here to share!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Well get out! I want Simon not you." She said, this was her fault? She did this to Simon?

 

[JessieSune]

"I will, as soon as you take me out. But I'm sure by now you recognize I'm a psychic projection of you -- I'm only replacing Simon because you put me here."

This is followed by the Pichu sticking his tongue out at you.

"Goodness, mama got trashed, huh? Hope she makes it."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"STOP! just get out of him just...." She crouched down and covered her face with her paws. She wasn't able to process all these complex emotions.

 

[JessieSune]

"You know, I wouldn't even be here if you weren't so scared all the time. I'm just you, after all. And I can't leave -- not until you stop hiding and running and freaking out!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"But I can't help it..." she said In a weak voice. "I.... I didn't want to hurt you Simon... h..how can I shut out my feelings?"

 

[JessieSune]

"You can't!" he says in a sing-song voice. "Besides, you're not hurting him -- he's not even in here right now! You can't shut yourself out, even if you can shut him out! But not everyone can do what you do, now can they?"

Balaa begins to stir.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"N...no, can oyu please just enter me again and just leave my friend alone?" She pleaded with Simon/herself.

 

[JessieSune]

"You simply don't have the capacity, silly. You want me gone? You'll have to try something a little less pathetic than just...pleading."

Balaa's voice can be heard.

"Danielle? What is wrong, sweetheart?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

She didn't know how to respond, but she didn't want to worry mommy when she was this hurt. "Everythings fine" She spoke in her mind, just a hint of hypnosis in it.

 

[JessieSune]

"You don't need to lie to me, sweetheart. I will be okay -- what has you so afraid? I sense Simon is being suppressed."

"You bet, mama. Danielle's got enough emotion to fill TWO Pokemon!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

She didn't know how to react to this comment and whimpered a bit.
