Part 1: I'm Cursed
Suru dominates the area. She is a powerful Arcanine, with a large ranging territory. Fortunatly, she's very friendly, and loves sharing her range with other Pokemon and humans. One day, she is taking her daily patrol when she sees a Meowth sitting alone under a berry tree. But it's odd. Instead of white fur, it has A very deep blue color that almost looks black. The poor creature looks terribly thin and has it's head down. Feeling pity, Suru walks up to it. "Hello," she says in a kind voice. "What's your name?" The little cat looks up. Suru is frightened as it has no pupils appears to be crying... blood? "H-hi. W-who are y-you?" All the Arcanine's fear melts away as she says that. "Here. Let me get you some food." The Arcanine puts her mighty paws on the tree and shakes some berries out of it. "I'm Noroi," the little cat says. "I live alone. I hate humans; they killed my parents. I never want to see one EVER AGAIN! I like having friends, but all my friends were fake and said it was my fault my parents died." She started crying again. "Hey, it's okay," says Suru. "I won't be like that. I will be a true friend to you." Suru doesn't really have other friends. She is friendly towards other Pokemon, but they are mostly scared of her for her sheer size and power. But seeing this pitiful scrap of fur... She just has to protect her. "I will be the best friend you ever had. "T-thank you..." Noroi slowly stops crying but still has some dry blood on her face. "I hate to... uh... bug you but can I live with you? I don't have a home or family." "Sure!" Suru says. Noroi looks around. "Where do you live, exactly?" "Let me show you!" Suru spends the rest of the day showing her knew friend her territory. As they tour the place, Suru notices that Noroi doesn't smile or laugh. Still, Suru feels happier then she has in a long while. Ever since I lost my trainer... Before the two know it, the sun is setting. They find dinner and curl up to go to sleep. But there's still one thing that's been nagging at the back of Suru's mind. "So... If you don't mind me asking, what's with your color and... you know... blood tears?" "Oh. That. It means I'm cursed. I lost my parents and my color changed. I've been emotionless ever since. What exactly are you?" "I'm an Arcanine. My name is Suru." "I like that name, Its pretty." Noroi looks at Suru and kinda smiles. "I don't have family besides my siblings who abandoned me when I needed them most. That's why my eyes are blank. No one was ever there for me. You could be my new family right? Could you be my new sister?" Suru smiles, too. "Of course I can!" Noroi scoots closer to Suru so that they're touching. Suru curls around her. "Night, night," Noroi says. And they go to sleep, just like that.

Part 2: What is Love?
Noroi wakes up to the smell of fresh-picked berries. "I brought breakfast," Suru says. While they're eating, Noroi asks a question that makes Suru's heart ache, "What does love mean?" The Arcanine stops mid-bite and looks at the smaller Pokemon. "You really don't know what love means?" Noroi looks ashamed. "Sorry," she squeaks. Suru's eyes soften up. "Don't be. Tell you what: I can teach you first-hand what love means! You would like that, wouldn't you?" Noroi nodds. "Yes." Over the next week, Suru really tries her hardest to show Noroi love, but she just can't get through. Noroi just can not understand "love". "Suru... could you like, I don't know, uh..." She pauses, unsure what to say. "What is love? Like, how do I know its love? Because this doesn't feel like anything." The Arcanine wants to cry, but she can't do that in front of Noroi. She catches the smaller Pokemon in a hug-like embrace, only to be shoved off. "Get off me! Don't EVER hug me!" Shocked, Suru watches as more blood stains the fur around Noroi’s eyes. But almost immediately, it stops. "I- I'm sorry... I didn't mean that." This time, tears did well up in the corners of Suru's eyes. "Don't worry, Noroi. Whatever this curse is, we'll break it. Together."

Part 3: I'm Sorry
The next day, Suru wakes up to find Noroi sleeping by the far wall of the cave they decided to stay in. She had been so cuddly before... What had happened? Worried, the Arcanine voes to pick berries from a nearby bush. She goes back to the cave, only to find a Teddyursa sitting in the entryway. Their kind is common in this forest; little cubs often wander off. And that’s how Suru knows they are in danger. Any minute now, Mom will come looking for her little cub. And she won’t be happy. Every instinct in her body is telling Suru to run, but she can’t abandon Noroi. She creeps past the little Teddyursa, and that’s when she sees mom, just about to help herself to some breakfast. Suru drops the berries she’s carrying and cries out, just in time to stop the Ursarang from slashing Noroi’s throat. Noroi wakes up with her right eye full of blood. She growls and gets defense, claws unseathing and blood dripping down her face. Her eyes flashed with anger. Suru watched in horror as the Ursarang lunged at her friend. Instantly, Noroi slashes at the speed of light, knocking out the larger Pokemon. She continues slashing, and slashing, and slashing, until Suru intervienes. "Stop!" she yells. Noroi stopps mid-swipe and looks in horror at what she had done. Now that she had gotten her friend to stop, Suru goes over to comfort the now traumatized Teddyursa. "It'll be okay." When she has gotten the baby at least somewhat consoled, she turnes back to her friend, who is now crying hardcore, blood staining the Ursarang's coat. " Sorry... I-I didn't mean to... I don't know what came over me... I-I'm so so so so so sorry..." she felt really bad after what she did. She wanted to do anything she could to make up for it. "Is there anything I can do?..." Suru thinks. She isn't exactly a doctor, but she figures the Ursarang could use some time to rest. "Well, we should let it stay here. And watch over it. And the baby can stay, too!" "Sounds good." Noroi is upset that she hurt an innocent Pokemon. Noroi continuously apoligizes, and Suru keeps telling her that it's okay.

Part 4: I Don't Know How
Over the next few weeks, Noroi gets gotten progresively more aggressive bit by bit. She doesn't eat or come out of the cave. She never talks and never sleeps. Suru is getting very worried. As soon as the Ursarang wakes up, she collects her baby and leaves. Suru figures it's about time they get a move on and, after adding some fresh berries to Noroi's growing pile, suggests the idea to her. "What do you mean go? I don't want to go! I want to rest." Noroi mumbles the last sentence, noticably tired. She hates moving when in a bad mood. Right now was not just bad mood she was... angry." Angry at what? "U-um" she mumbled. "Can you... um... tell me how?" She is loosing her memmory. "I don't know how to..." It was starting to get obvious that she was not just loosing her memory but also whatever joy and happieness she had left. Suru bit her lip, not knowing what to say or do. She figured it couldn't be good for the little Meowth to be cooped up in the den all the time. "Just... follow me, okay?" "Oh... Um, okay?" Suru led the smaller Pokemon out of the den. They walk for hours in a straight line, not caring where they're going. Lots of Pokemon stare, but Suru just doesn't care. She just hopes Noroi doesn't decide to attack them... When the sun starts setting and she hears thunder crackling in the distance, she figures it's time to find a spot to sleep. The two find a particularly large tree that should shelter them at least somewhat from the rain. Noroi faints since she hasn't walked this long in forever. Suru cuddles around her and they sleep. It's still raining when Noroi wakes up in the middle of the night. She growles, overly annoyed at the water droplets hitting her fur. She looks down at her hands, and notices that they are pitch black, and seem to be fading in and out of reality. She finds a nearby puddle and looks at herself. To her horror, she realizes her whole body looks like that." She's... a ghost. "I have to hide this."

Part 5: We'll Figure This Out
Suru wakes up in the morning sopping wet. She shakes out her fur and gets breakfast. She wakes up Noroi who just stares at her food no matter how much Suru urges her to eat. Finally giving up, she decides they should play a game to boost their spirits. "Do you want to play tag?" she suggestes. "What's tag? I've never heard of it..." Suru laughes joyously. "I'll show you! Tag! You're it!" Suru starts running, being sure that she's slow enough that the smaller Pokemon can catch her. "Uh what? Okay..." Instantly she runs towards Suru... and... "Tag! Your it!" She's not exactly happy, but she's at least in a good-ish mood. They play for a little bit, until Suru thinks it's time to get serious. "Noroi," she asks, "do you know how to break the curse?" "No, I don't. I do, however, know something that I think can help..." Noroi hesitates, then takes a deep breath. "I have powers and two other forms." "Show me." Noroi doesn't want to dissapoint her friend so she showes her power to turn into a ghost. Suru is frightened at first, but she knows her friend won't hurt her. "Okay... we'll figure this out. Maybe there's some place... that can give us answers." "Answers... No one has answers but the dead. I know... Yes... the dead..." "the Pokemon Tower!" Suru exclaims. "Of course! Let's go!" Noroi has to race to keep up with the excided Arcanine, who leads her to seemingly just another spot in the woods. Suru starts digging, and comes up with a map. "Look. See, our world is made up of several regions. She points to one region. "This is Kanto." She pointed to the right of the region. This is Lavender Town. And in it is the Pokemon Tower. We have to travel to the edge of our own region, the Hidden Region-- which is somewhere over here-- (she points to ocean, for the region is unmarked on the map) and find a way across the ocean. Then' we have to travel to Lavender Town. It will be a tough journey, but we can do it, right?" "I'm not sure I'm not made for long journeys but I'll survive." "Alright, then let's go!"

Part 6:
They start trekking through the woods, Suru carrying the map just incase they get lost. It's a long walk, with them often stoping to rest and Noroi getting slightly more irritable with each passing moment. Finally, after many days, they reach the border and stare at the vast ocean. "What do you think?" Suru asks. "I don't really know... I don't really care... I just want to go. Can we go?..." She isn't in the best mood, which Suru is used to by now. Still, the Arcanine stays her lighthearted, cheery self. "We can't just go silly. We have to find a way across. She looks around and finds an old log with a hole in it. She tests it, and it floats. "This can serve as our raft. Hop in!" Noroi hops in and said " Is this really worth it...? I mean like i doubt that we'll make it..."
