// small spoiler I guess? But also I hinted towards this a lot of times

Fake-Anime Screenshot of an event that might happen in the future of this blog (if I get the motivation to work here again)

I am very satisfied with how it turned out! Might do more of these if I get nice ideas!

“W-What?? Who...Who are you?? And where’s Tara??”

💜- A memory about one of their loved ones, happy or sad

Tara:

"You're the first one to actually call me their friend...I'm...so happy! Ahaha..sorry for actually crying right now Tara.."

~~~~~

Mirai:

“What a creepy forrest...are you sure we’ll be alright?”

“Don’t worry Imgar! I promise if it’s as fun as the last time you will enjoy it a lot! Plus with your ghost-like vibes we’ll be the best at scaring others!~”

“Taraaaa don’t say stuff like this!”

“Hahaha sorry, sorry!”

Tara and Imgar join the Festival of the Autumn Witch!

"It's not that I died...I think. And I'm not a hybrid in the classic sense either...I'm not fully sure what I am to be honest, but I will try to explain..."

"Back when I was still a young kid my beloved trainer Vato and I went on a small journey. He heard about some hidden ruins somewhere in the forrest and wanted to find them. And as I used to follow him everywhere, I went with him. We found it eventually and started to explore, but were surprised by a lot of ghost Pokemon living inside. Looking back at it now, they probably just played tricks on us...but at that moment I was so scared that I started to run...and got lost deep inside those ruins."

"A-Amber? Vato?…Where are you guys?…I wanna go home…" "Aaaaaawwwww~ Did you get lost?" "Aaaah!! Who are you??” " I am the one whose home you invaded! Come on, let me take care of you kid~"

"N-No! Let go!!! It huuuuurts!!"

"Everything from this point on is blurry...I don't know how long I was unconscious, but some dream-like images from those times still sit in my mind...the fearful faces of Pokemon I never saw before...the strange feeling of energy waves roaming through my whole being...

The first real memory I have after this..blackout..is the face of a grown up man. I instantly recognized him. It was Vatos face, full of fear and shock...

I didn't know why or where, we were surrounded by dim light, not the darkness of those deep underground ruins. And I could see and somehow think for myself, but my body moved on it's own. That moment I recognized the presence that flowed through my body and mind, it was the same one that caught me back then. And whatever this thing was...it was way stronger than myself.

All of my movements where theirs, I had to watch them attack my dear Vato in the most violent ways over and over again...I could not fight against this possession...not until Vatos fully evolved Pokemon finally beat me nearly senseless. But the pain their attacks caused...was nothing compared to what my heart felt like! As they pushed me to the ground I somehow felt my senses coming back to me - so I did the only thing right and escaped, deep into the forrest and further away.

That night I was close to death and lost my newly gained control multiple times...I wasn't used to this new, powerful Feraligatr body - heck I completely missed out on my own evolutions! The possessed body somehow survived...but to this day I try to suppress the memories of how many small Pokemon lost their lifes to cause this...

I spent a lot of time as a mindless beast after this, mostly at night. In the daytime I tried to experience this new body and what I was capable of, such as trying to travel as far away from other living beings as I could.

This Ghost that possessed me as a kid still hid a part of itself inside of my body. And even through I never understood how or why, I just wanted to overcome this somehow...After a long time alone and practically giving up I met Tara...and from that very moment on, everything in my life changed! She gave me hope, a goal, a purpose to life on! I thought everything would be fine now that I was with her! The attacks too nearly vanished, until we got near this damn Lavender Town Tower..."

Imgar took a deep breath, he still had to overcome those recent events.

"Ever since then I felt it's present growing stronger and my own mind growing weaker. Nearly as if he ate up all that was left from myself...and even through it's gotten better the last days, I'm afraid of the future...

I don't know if I'm a ghost or a living being...if this actually is my own self or just some mind controlled beast...but I really, really want to believe that I can get rid of this part of myself...and gain the possibility to allow myself living on by her side..."

“WHY WONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S FOR YOUR BEST?!” “MY BEST?? WHERE’S THE GOOD THING IN LEAVING ME AGAIN AFTERALL WE’VE BEEN THROUGH?! YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR MIND IMGAR! WE WANTED TO GO TO THAT KINGDOM TOGETHER; REMEMBER?”

“Tch....” His gaze went to her necklace, then to the side before he had the strenght to look at Taras’ face again. “You don’t need me anymore, you have your new friends by your side. Just let me go and--” “IMGAR!!!” Her sharp cry in tears cut through the air. After this she only had the energy for a painful whisper left. “Why are you suddenly talking like this?..do you not want to continue our journey?...Y-You’re my best friend...I can’t...no....I wont do this without you...please......is this really how you want to end this?....”

Silence.

Imgar grit his teeth. He had to gather all his strenght not to tell her the words his heart screamed in pain.

He didn’t want to leave her side ever again. But with his condition, how could he be allowed to? The place by her side was not his after all, it would never be.

Another deep inhale, as he slowly started to speak - but his voice cracked and with tears streaming down his face the feraligatr rushed forwards - pulling Tara into his arms. “I....don’t want to leave you.....but if I can’t controll this....I will hurt you again....please....understand.....Tara.....”

This was when a strange heat formed in between them. It grew so hot that Imgar had to let go of the Umbreon - revealing a glowing Orb right in front of them. As the glow got less intense it took the form of a golden compass whose needle spun around at a high speed.

“I...completely forgot about this thing...” Tara remembered it appearing all of a sudden back then. It somehow vanished again after that - but now it was back?

This compass will point you in the direction of what your heart desires the most.

The voice echoed around them, yet noone was to be seen.

Your goal is close. Don’t give up just yet.

It floated into the air, the needle now pointing straight into the morning sun that showed up between some mountain peaks. Then it lost it’s physical form, soaring through the air like a leaf in the wind. As their eyes followed the light it slowly vanished into thin air.

Imgar went a few steps forward, rubbing his eyes. “That light just now....was showing us the way? But where to?”

His eyes searched the horizon, still burning from the hot tears that flooded them just moments ago. Then he saw a movement in the east, just where the needle had been pointing to. It seemed like a heat haze, an illusion of a...wide forrest? It definetly hadn’t been there before!

His hands began to shake. Could it be...?

“Imgar..”

Her soft voice made his hurt heart jump.

“That’s the place... I have this feeling...and you are feeling it too, right?”

He turned around to look at her small figure in the expanding light of the morning sun.

“Can I...come with you? ..I want to continue our journey..”

Tears formed in the corner of her eyes again.

“Of course. Let’s go to this place and finally make our wishes come true!”

[The Ghost he saw that time - END]

“A-Are you sure this is a good idea?…I don’t think we…I should be here..”

“Stop talking like that! This is exactly what we both need now after what happened! C’mon Imgar, it’ll be alright as long you stay with me!”

“Well if you say so Tara..”

“Just wait, I’ll get you all covered in snow!!”

Tara started a snowball fight with Ashy - while a confused Imgar watches them.
