Apple of my eye

If only I hadn't gone into the Black City.

Then maybe I wouldn't have heard that horrible melody.

Maybe I wouldn't have been bewitched into capturing her.

Maybe.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked into Black city hesitantly. It wasn't exactly my favorite place in the Unova region. The only thing people wanted from there was to battle and me being from the White forest didn't actually like battling, however I did need to go to the Black City for my groceries. I had Gigi, my shiny gardevoir's pokeball in hand. It had been by total accident that I had caught her. I had meant to use the pokeball to catch a trapinch so I would eventually have a flygon to be able to fly somewhere else instead of having to go to Black City when I needed stuff. But I tripped when I went to throw the pokeball and it somehow hit the shiny ralts instead. But my troubles aren't with her. It was with an entirely different pokemon. Meloetta.

I had finished geting my groceries from the pokemart and manged to avoid most battles. I was heading back when I was knocked over by some guy in the strangest costume I had ever seen. "h-hey! Watch where your going!" The guy didn't even look back and just kept running. I sighed and picked up my stuff, I checked to make sure everything was still there; there was an apple missing. I couldn't find it anywhere nearby so I figured a pokemon must have snatched it up. I decided to keep walking, no use crying over spilt milk right? I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched so I turned around and looked all over, I eventually found my watcher hidding in the shadow of an alley. It was a pokemon, and one I hadn't seen before. I walked over to the little pokemon, Gigi tried grabbing my shoulder as if to warn me not to go near it, she almost succeeded in keeping me away from the pokemon, however I started hearing a beautiful melody. I couldn't keep from looking at the pokemon in the alley, Gigi kept trying to keep me from approaching it but I continued to shrug her off. "Hey there, you lost?" I asked the small pokemon, now that I could get a better look, the pokemon had a pale white legs and face, a black torso, arms, and what looked like a music note in its hair, the hair and eyes were green. The pokemon nodded and looked down. I noticed it was holding my apple in its hands. "Its alright you can keep it, but this isn't exactly the best place for a small pokemon, why don't you come with me and I'll take you to a much better place." The pokemon happily nodded.


"Hey! Abura! Lets battle loser!" I groaned in annoyance, it was Bret. That guy always demanded a battle from everytime I came here. "I find it Ironic that you say im a loser when you'r the one who always loses." I got up and was about to have Gigi battle him when the small pokemon walked infront of me. "Huh? But I don't know any of the moves you know!" She looked at me and gave me a look that said Just go with it. "Hey who's the new pokemon? Last I checked you only had that Gardevoir!" "Yea well....Oh just start the battle already!" He glared at me and sent out his Gothitelle, the two pokemon considered themselves rivals. I felt that they would be evenly matched if Bret could just stop using only attack moves and actually try something new for a change. "Gothitelle use Magic Room!" Why the heck was he starting out with that move? All it did was make the pokemon unable to use an item. Oh wait a minute...She was holding the apple still..smart. "Um....ah.." Crap, not only did I know little to nothing about this pokemon, I didn't even know what to call her. Apple, call me apple! "Apple use..um...." I didn't get a chance for Apple to tell me what moves she knew because Bret called out another attack. "Gothitelle use telekinesis!" That move was new.... "I've completely change up Gothitelle's moves for this battle, sadly I can't use them on your pet so I'll just settle for the runt. Apple was floated up into the air and was held in place unable to move. "Meloe! meloe!" Relic Song, Dream eater, perish song, and acrobatics are he moves I know! "Huh...I've never heard of Relic song before.." Without Warning Apple's eyes changed from green to red and her hair wrapped around her head and also turned red. She started singing a melody that reminded me of my favorite song that I would always try to find on the radio. I looked at the Gothitelle and saw it trying very hard to stay awake. "Gothitelle? Use Dark Pulse!" Gothitelle just barely managed to get the attack out before she fell asleep. It hit Apple but didn't do to much damage, however she did seem a bit...eviler. I had read a book about pokemon moves and remebered reading that Dark Pulse made the pokemon hit with it think dark thoughts, however the effect was temporary...or so I thought. Apple fell to the ground now that telekenisis had gone away. "Apple use dream eater!" She approached the sleeping pokemon and began well, eating the dreams.


At this sudden intrusion of her mind Gothitelle awoke. "Gothitelle use torment!"
It didn't seem to affect Apple at all, she just kept smiling a very cruel looking smile. "Apple use acrobatics!" She started beating up the gothitelle. Gothitelle eventually went down from the constant beating. "Noooo! I lost again!" bret glared at me then after returning gothitelle to her pokeball ran off. "Well now that thats over with lets get out of here before we get challenged again." Before I could start walking however, Apple grabbed hold of my bag that had my pokeballs in it and swiftly took one out. "w...what?" She held it out to me then pointed to herself. "You...you want me to catch you?" She nodded. Gigi ran over and grabbed the pokeball out of her hands and held it away from her. "Gigi...why are you being so stubborn lately? I think having another pokemon on the team is a good idea, what if you got sick while we're out somewhere and they are lots of trainers who want to battle? She shook her head and glared at Apple. Forget it shiny, im the apple in his eye now, you'll just be the fallback! "Wh...what?" Before I could question her she sang a beautiful melody that made me forget what she had said. I looked at Gigi and said. "Give me the pokeball Gigi, it'll be good to have another pokemon on the team you'll see!" Unable to refuse, she hesitantly gave me the pokeball. Apple went in the pokeball without a fight. "Alright lets head home, Gigi use teleport." We appeared infront of the house and I let Apple out. "Apple! your green again." I wasn't green before? "You mean you don't remeber?" My memory is a bit foggy...did you use relic song? "Yes....but it was by accident, I hadn't heard of the move and well...uttered the name of the move." Don't use it to often please. I agree'd and since it was late, I let her sleep in the guest room, she fell asleep the moment she hit the pillow. "Good night you two!" I happily said as we headed for bed. Before I could make it to my room, Gigi turned me around and was staring unhappily at me. "Hold on." I reached inside my bag for a paper and pencil she could write with. She had managed to get ahold of a dictionary at one point and figured out how to write, to bad she couldn't speak though. She quickly jotted down the words I don't like this new pokemon, I fear she has bad intentions for you. "Your just paranoid Gigi, now try to get some sleep and if Apple really does have something bad in sotre for me then you'll come to my rescue won't you?" She simply nodded then turned to walk toward her room.

Gigi walked toward her room and fell asleep. The familiar toon of Relic Song was soon heard from Apple's room. Apple stepped out of her room in her pirouette form. She made way to Gigi's room and performed Dream Eater. He's mine now, I will be forever the apple in his eye.



This went on for days on end, they would go out and about Apple would sing her  melody every once and awhile and pokemon would come out and attack Gigi, she would then slip poisonus berries into her food and them eat her dreams at night.
Gigi began looking sickly and pale to the point where she couldn't get out of bed. I hurried over to the pokemon center and pratically dragged Nurse Joy to Gigi's side. "Oh dear! What happend to her!? Why didn't you bring her to me sooner?" "I...I don't know....it felt as if something was keeping me from doing so.." "Well don't worry she'll be fine now." She's fine don't worry about her And then Apple sang. "Gigi is fine, no ned to worry about her." "Thank you nurse joy." Gigi struggled to reach her arm out to her friend, breathing heavily. Her hand brushed across her trainers shirt before it fell to her side as she died. I looked at her and just stood in shock at her."My friend is dead....Im....im sorry.." I broke down and fell to my knees by her. "I ignored you and watched you die slowly....Im sorry..."
I burried her in the spot that I first met her at. "how..How could this have happend?" I felt something nonexistent hug me and saw that it was her ghost, now perfectly understandable. "It was her, Apple, she wishes for you to be hers and hers alone, she's been killing me off slowly since the first day you brought her here." "I...I wish I had listened to you, I'll go and release her." She nodded and disapeared. I walked back to the house and heard her song, forgetting about Gigi entirely. I saw Apple waiting at the door, she rushed over to me and hugged me. "Hey Apple...Im back from..." I couldn't remeber where I had been. It doesn't matter where you were, what matters is you'll never leave me right? "Of course not!" And thats how it continued. Apple was always in her red form and hey always played together. "Your the apple in my eye." I would always tell her. But I eventually began expereincing horrible nightmares. It was of a shiny Gardevoir and Apple. I could have sworn I had seen the Gardevoir before...Well the dreams always ended the same, The Gardevoir would hold the corpse of Apple up and say. "Your free." So I eventually stopped sleeping. I began looking pale and wouldn't eat. One night while Apple was asleep I crept out into the night to the spot where the dream always took place, to my suprise I found a gravestont there. I approached it and read the words. "Here lies Gigi, loving companion and friend." Gigi....That name sounded familiar....I looked up and saw the ghost of the shiny gardevoir that had been haunting me for....I had lost track of how long it had been since it started. "You....you've been haunting me." Gigi looked horribly ghostly. She was almost compltely gone in places and was crying ghostly blue tears. "Im sorry....It was all I could do to kep you from forgetting me." She put her ghostly blue hand on my head and suddenly I rembered everything. I hugged the ghost and said over and over again how sorry I was. So this is where you've been. I turned around to a very mad looking Apple. "Go away, you...you heartless monster!" Im the apple in your eye remeber? REMEBER?

She began her horrible song. Why isn't it affecting you!? "You'll not steal my friend from me again." Gigi stepped in front of me and began creating  small black hole in her hand. Her hand then looked as if it had ice fire and thunder punch surrounding it; the black hole still in her hand. The two pokemon then began fighting eachother, both unable to hit the other. Apple was seriously exhausted after awhle, Gigi however was still going at it. Im not dieing here! She sang her song one last time, I was provoked by the song and jumped infront of the blast intended for her.

I fell over on the ground, knowing I would die. Apple ran away laughing saying she'd find another.


And I was left to Join Gigi.




















A few weeks later Bret walked through the Black City, after hearing that him and his pokemon's rival were dead, well it hit them both hard. He heard a soft sob coming from an alley he went to check it out, and there was a green pokemon.....holding an apple.
