Hi everyone. You know with the lockdown in France and everything, I have some time and I was thinking " Hey Maybe I can put in history my experience in Reborn ? "
So here it is, my frist chapter. Of course, I try to put something new to the story already told by the game and i hope you'll enjoy it. Feel free to tell mewhat you think even if it's really bad. And if i made some mistakes pls tell me too ! I'll try to correct theses !
Chapter 1 : Coldness
« Listen Athrun, you may be tough but trust me you’ll discover that there is always someone better than you. Don’t forget it and be safe »
Hum, how cliché … That was the last words my mom told me before I jump on this train for The Reborn Region.
People may think that being confident is the same thing as being arrogant: Wrong.
Being confident is knowing your worth and your abilities and trust me when I say that I have nothing to prove to anyone.
Friendship ? Fun ? Don’t make me laugh I’am not into that and I don’t need it.
All I need is to keep moving, to keep becoming stronger and one day rise as the greatest trainer that has ever lived on this planet. Red ? Gold ? Cynthia ? That’s history and I’am the future but yeah I guess they were not bad …
The name’s Athrun, coming right from Hoenn. A region where there is too much water. Nothing more to say about it. I took the entire league by myself and fought against a weirdo water guy who wanted to show his art instead of battling seriously to takeover my place as the Hoenn League champion.. How pathetic , how easy it was.
So after that, a man known as Steven told me about this region which has lost his beauty but has several good gym leaders. They are searching for skilled trainers to take on the reborn challenge.
Guess my goal is decided.
By the way, do I sound rude to you ? Impolite ? Insolent ? Haha judging a book by his cover is something everyone does without notice it. You , me , EVERYONE. It’s okay I don’t mind because I accept the reality that we live on. And I know I sound like a freaking emo guy but hey I just say what I think and I think that everyone has two sides. Not a good or bad one, but a true and a hypocrite one.
But let’s get back to my story. After all, there’s a lot to say.
God this travel is so long, will this train ever stop one day ?
I can’t stand doing nothing for hours and when I hear these silly trainers laugh about trying to take on the reborn challenge just to make some memories I’am about to explo… Wait?! Was that an absol? I thought that they were only seen in my region? It is said that Absol is the incarnation of disasters. Tsss non-sense.
But damn, why is this train so cold when we travel a freaking desert…
"Sir… Sir, are you alright?"
My heart skipped a beat, when was the last time I was suprised that easily? Standing before me, a young lady with a bright smile was waiting for me to come back to reality.
« I am sorry. Was lost in my thoughts. Did you need me for something?»
« Not really, you were all alone and you seemed worried. Is this about the Reborn Challenge? Need me to maybe give you some tips»
«Tsss, who do you think you are talking to, do I look like a trainer with some confidence issues. You better stay with those trainers in the back, you seem to be the one that wants to make fun memories with a lot of friends»
And agaiiiiiiiiin, I spoke too soon, too hard, too frankly, when will I learn to stay calm when someone doubt my abilities… AND MY GOD THIS COLD IS KILLING ME RIGHT NOW !
This day really can’t be worse.
Nevertheless, she seemed to be quite amused by my reaction. Who is she?
«My name is Ame. I’am the manager of the Reborn League.»
WAY TO GO ATHRUN!
Your journey hasn’t started yet and you're in for troubles with the manager of the league.
NOW, I’am sure this day can’t be worse but again she seemed to be totally unaffected by my answer, good thing.
She then told me a little bit about the history of the region and ensured me about the difficulty of the challenge that is waiting for me!
I would be really hyped about it if I was not diying from coldness. What is this feeling? Something feels just not right, I must be tired from the travel.
Ame noticed it maybe that was why she was kind to me.
«To answer to your question, i’am not worried, but why it is so cold here? I mean we are in the middle of a desert and it dosn’t feel like it?»
This time she looked to me with surprise in her eyes.
«Cold? Look around you, everyone is trying to search for fresh air, they are all sweating, aren’t you sick or something?»
No. I am Not. It dosn’t feel like I’am sick, this sensation, this tension, I already felt it… Where? When?
Ame talked to me but I was too busy trying to use my useless brain to find an answer to my questions.
« You are just tired I guess, the weather here isn’t the same as Hoenn, your body need to adapt maybe? Don’t worry, we are almost there, in fact … The train should have already entered his deceleration»
I’am close, I’am close, I’am so close, I know when I felt that coldness and that sensation, the sensation of being watched by something particular … It was … Before and during my battle with Phoebe in Hoenn !
That was the last thing my mind remembered from this train before Ame jumped on me. Before all fade to black. Before all the coldness slowly turned into a welcome warmth.
"As I said .... this day .... can't .... be wor........"
That's it for the first chapter which is more a prologue. Thanks you if you read it ! Cya :)
