CHAPTER – 8 Dealing with Sadness

Arceus' palace

Daryl was back in the cave that he was before when he found Hope. As the picture zoomed out Arceus was watching with a nagging thought eating at her mind. His depression is coming around again and he will need more help. The only option is to send her adopted child, the little buneary. Calling for her, Arceus thought of how to tell the little one about this. When the buneary came into the room Arceus brought the little rabbit into a hug.

"It is time I explain something to you." Arceus said and the buneary looked up in curiosity. "You are not my child. Your parents asked me to care for you when they 'left'." The buneary still had the same facial expression so Arceus just continued. "The human you brought to my attention needs help again and you are the only help I can send." Arceus put the buneary down and walked over to a small box place on a stand next to the dais.

"This was placed upon your egg by your father when he asked me to care for you. I give it to you so you because there is history between your father and this human that you will learn after he finds you." She then placed the necklace around the buneary's neck and gave her another hug. "Good bye and be careful." Arceus said and a bright white flash filled the room. When it vanished the buneary was gone and Arceus was alone.

The buneary awoke in a forest not far from the cliffside mountain flower patch and waited for Daryl to find her.

Daryl's cave

A flash caught Daryl's attention and waited for something to crawl out. After a while he got impatient and went after the flash. He trudged and pushed through brush and found himself in a small clearing with a small pond in the center. There were bushes filled with berries all around the clearing and a small brown puffball caught his attention. He carefully walked forward and when it lifted its head he froze. A frightened pokemon can deal serious trauma. The little thing just looked at him. After what seemed like hours the little thing moved.

It stood up and started walking toward him. When it stood in front of him, the little thing extended its ear like it was a hand. Daryl grabbed it and the buneary started walking. They walked to the flower patch and there were a few people there on the cliff. They kept walking along until they reached a part that was whithering away. It was where the red flowers were supposed to be. Something must've caught the buneary's eyes because it quickly lunged into the brown patch. When the little thing came back it was holding a small charm bracelet. The buneary started glowing and changing shape. When the glow died down the buneary was evolved into a lopunny. This one however was tall. The average lopunny was around 3 ft tall but this one was around 5-9 at least. She was crying and walked to Daryl. He brought her into a hug and petted her, trying to make her feel better. After a ling span of time went by she calmed down and even fell asleep. Daryl took out a bliss ball and tapped her head. She dissolved in a red light and dissapeared into the ball.

With the lopunny caught he started back home. It was night by the time Daryl got home and when he got inside he looked at the clock and it said 1 AM. Daryl walked up to the third floor and went to the pokemon bedrooms. He walked down the hall until he found the empty room near Hope's. Daryl opened the door and let the lopunny out. She was still asleep so Daryl scooped her up and put her on the bed. He then place the ball on the stand on the far side of the room. Daryl then left the room and went to his own. When he got to his own room there were a few red feathers around. (Mostly on his bed) Sighing Daryl started cleaning up Hope's feathers. She was in his room and did Arceus knows what. Oh well. To late to scold her about it. Everybody is asleep. When he was finished cleaning, Daryl flopped onto his bed and went to sleep.

Hey here was another chapter and next there will be another addition to his party.
