Chapter 20 - Reaching Our Destination.

"We're here!" Amelia declares after leaving the tree line and making a dash towards the house inside of the clearing.

I'm currently being held by her in my Eevee form as I start to think about what lead to this situation. 'Firstly Amelia finally told me where the hell we were going and aparently Castella was the last place on her mind as she brought me to.. Lostlorn Forest?'

'I haven't thought about it but doesn't a Zoroark live here?..... Before I stress myself out with that nonsense she told me that we're training here under a guy named Darach? He's unimportant. She then packed up everything and left Numbasa heading over to route 16 and went through multiple side paths before ending up here.'

Amelia comes up to the door of this house which now looks more like a mansion or manor than anything else and knocks on the door thrice. "Hello!" Shouting she goes to knock on the door again before it opens revealing a tall man.

The man revealed is tall around 6'2 in height with him wearing a suit with various blues having a unique coloring and turquoise colored formal pants. He currently has on powder blue colored gloves and has a pink open and close watch.

"Hello madam I was expecting you arrival to a day ago, but since you are here now please do come in." The butler looking man fully opens the door and makes way for Amelia and as he does so Amelia walks in.

'....Wait wasn't this the battle fronter dude? I remember him! He's the guy who's always with Caitlin. Why is he here? And why is he just making way for us? Is Amelia secretly rich or something?'

Amelia turns towards the butler after putting her stuff down and says. "Thank you Darach. And sorry for the wait I had to make an extra stop, a Beartic was causing a lot of trouble and I had to help out! I though I would've still made it in time."

"I have no issue with it but please try explaining that to lady Caitlin after she took a break and came all the way here to see you only to find you nowhere to be found. She's in Numbasa looking for you now, though I just alerted her to your presence here."

The man I now know as Darack smiles with a unsettling look on his face. Amelia throws herself at him letting me go and begs for the butler to help her since in her words "Caitlin will rip me apart!"

'Yep that definetely is the battle frontier guy. I don't know if I should be thankful that I'm probably going to get trained by this guy or if I should be scared that this is the guy who's training me.'

"Please get up lady Amelia you will dirty the floors and yourself." Darack moves away from Amelia as she picks herself up and takes me upstairs. 'Also this place is huge it looked like an elaborate house from far away but up close its a goddamn manor. There's like 8 rooms in this one hallway!'

Amelia walks past the first 5 doors and stops, openning the 6th door she walks inside to a room the size of 1 and a half normal master bedrooms. As I'm in slight shock she puts me down and takes off here belt and backpack.

"Ahhh. Home sweet home!" Plopping down on the huge bed which looks like it could fit two charizards she starts to snuggle up before making a realization and getting up quickly.

"Kage. You might be a little confused so I'll let you in on it. I'm kinda rich I say kinda because I don't really have a say in it but that doesn't matter. I'm cousins with a girl named Caitlin whose like super impressive! We don't look alike, like at all but she did find me a while back because our royal family collapsed or something. I don't know the details but me and Caitlin are cousins and since she's like a really good trainer she thought that getting me trained by her would be good! And that's why we're here!"

'oh.Oh.OH! That's like really bad isn't she like a super mind reader. What if she see's that I'm not really a Pokemon or what if she see's through my illusion and see's that I'm a extinct Pokemon. What if she read Amelia's mind? This is a problem!'

"Are you ok?" Amelia see's the hints of panic on my face and starts to pet me and picks me up. "I know she can be a little scary but she's a really good person she took care of me of a while and she even gave me Doku when they were just a little Zubat. She might be strange and unfamilar but she won't do anything to you or me."

Calming down and giving Amelia a reassuring yip she smiles at me and gets up and goes through a door into what I can only assume to be a bathroom.

'That was bad I let my panic show.. Anyway lets think about this calmly I was able to stop Amelia's aura from influencing me entirely and even though Amelia might not even be a physic those powers she has will probably be the same thing that Caitlin will have. Maybe I'll be immune to it like how I've grown immune to Amelia's aura or at the very least I should notice when I'm getting influenced or when she's trying to read my mind.'

'Either way I've got a lot on my hands... Paws?'
