Eternal Fear

Do I have to? I did agree to this, but really? I don’t want to do this… Can I just go home? Well it can’t be too long, Alexander. Just keep a straight face, and speak. Alright? “The giant statue thing is friendly.” Don’t believe me, just keep walking. Dammit, they listened. Oh well, just need to do this for… An hour, damn it! That means I just started! Oh well, just keep the banner up…

"Hello, sir!" Oh great, kids. Kids are the hardest to convince. What's the little Snorunt gonna ask me now? "So the thingy won't hurt anyone anymore?" Oh, well that IS quite important to mention, actually.

"No, it says it won't, so it won't." The kid accepted that? Guess kids are easier to convince than I thought. Well, with one kid believing these lies, I guess it's an accomplishment.

"The statue is a friend to all!" The kid yelled out. Oh great, he's gonna spread it... Could he at least drop the 'r'? Surely, that's not too much to ask for, right? I don't think it is...

What’s that noise? It’s the… The statue… Standing above the city, why am I helping it? I don’t trust it… I don’t understand why anyone trusts it… Especially when it rampaged through town… I got such a massive fright when it first moved underneath me… I flew right away.

It attacked the city, destroying everything in its path… Oh, I’m getting scared just thinking about it… Wait, why am I thinking about it? Just focus, and... I kept trying to hide. And hide. Then hide a bit more. It would always eventually smash through my hiding spot, and I’d find somewhere new. In the end, I gave up, crying along the streets.

It was destroying everything, and it wouldn’t rest until everything’s gone… It’ll be easier to just get it over with… So I stayed, watching the giant march around, attacking everything.

“Hey!” It was a Pancham, headed towards me… “You! I really need somebody who can fly, are you able to?!” Back then my tears were a bit clearer, and I was standing bravely.

“I can fly, indeed. Oh, and my name’s Alexander.” It was the moment I was destined for. It would be the moment where I would do something. Except I had no idea what that was specifically. “Say, why do you need my amazing flying skills?”

“Oh, I wanted you to hop on the statue and get this thing for me.” NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! I can’t do that! Not risking my life for any reason! “Great, a coward… Might as well help Sundance with protecting the civilians, then…”

Oh, I could do that! Now, fly! Wave a goodbye to the Pancham, and there. Now to look around for Pokemon who need help… “HELP ME!”

Oh, that was quick. Whoever it was they’re hiding in the building below me… “Hello?!” Maybe they’ll call back…

“WHO’S THERE?!” Yep, they called back. Now to follow the panicked sound of their voice. “PLEASE, I NEED HELP!”

“There you are! Now to… Free you from the plank of wood…” Great, they were pinned. The only way I could save them was by breaking the wood, but how? I tried lifting it, but it didn’t break… In the end, I knew only one thing that could work… I used Infestation to infest the wood. “I know it’s not very comforting, but it’s the only idea I have!”

Slowly, but surely, the bacteria was doing it’s work… Oh look, it broke! Yay! Ow! Someone slapped me! Well, at least they’re free… What next? Turns out, more Giant Statue was next. I flew away from the thing marching after me, until it gave a flaming punch to my gut, and I crashed into another building, trapped.

So this is how it ends? It couldn’t be… I didn’t want to die then… Please, someone! Save me! Please! I don’t want to die, I want to live! I want to continue life! I haven’t even said hi to anyone here! Please! Don’t go… Don’t go…

“Uh… Are you alright?” Huh? Oh, a little kid’s in front of the… Open street? What is… Oh! The Task, yeah… How long did I have left? Oh, I’m done. Stand up, fly away… WRONG WAY, THE STATUE’S THERE!

There, the right way… It won’t bother me ever again… I’m done!
