TW: Anxiety Attack/Ptsd (I dunno if those are the TWs in this part, but its something)

We cut to see a cloaked person walking in a “Pokemon Only” Pokemon Cafe.. seemingly was going to buy something for themselves. Iceslasher was watching him very closely, as memories of the Arctozolt attacking him flashed in his mind. The longer he stared, the more cautious and worried he is. The cloaked person walked up to the bartender, ordered themselves a cup of Applin Cider, and stood there, looking around as they waited.

“...” The Hakamo-o was going to get up from the chair, but a memory of him falling into the darkness got him to freeze in slight fear. Wait.. Why is he afraid? He knows how to fight. Surely he doesn’t need to be afraid, right?

..right? The Hakamo-o kept staring at the mysterious cloaked person. Though, after a bit of staring cautiously, the Hakamo-o’s heartbeat starts to slowly increase.. And his body starts to get cold. Very cold. Why is this happening? What is going to happen? Is that mysterious person happen to be that creature that attacked him in his home? Questions start to fill his mind.. And the more that filled his mind, the more his body get cold.

It took the hakamo-o a few moments to realize that some ice shards started to form on the ground right next to him. And look- everyone is now staring at him.. Including the mysterious cloak guy. As soon as he noticed them staring at him, all sounds, voices, or noises, were silent. He couldn’t hear anything but his own heartbeat.. “...I.. I need to get out of here..” Iceslasher spoke silently to himself.. Backing away from the crowd of pokemon that is watching him.. “I… I…” The image of the Arctozolt charging at him got the Hakamo-o in flight or fight mode, and when he tries to run away, he couldn’t move his feet. He look down, and see that there is ice covering his feet, preventing him from moving. The Hakamo-o’s breathing got heavy, and he goes to hit the ice that is covering his feet, only to no avail. “N-No! N-No no no no no no no no!” Iceslasher yelped, and he kept hitting the ice, over and over, and over.. It doesn’t even matter if his hands hurt.. He need to get out of there.. After a bit of hitting the ice, it finally shattered. The Hakamo-o was relieved, but just as he was going to flee, he feel two arms hugging him from behind. The Hakamo-o, thinking that it was the Arctozolt, would scream and used his Dragon Tail to hit the hugger, which worked as it stopped hugging him.. However, the Hakamo-o soon realized that the person he hit is Charlie.. Who is now holding onto their nose, and is looking at him.

Iceslasher’s eyes widened. If there is one thing he has learned from his time with Charlie and Milo, is that Ice types are weak to Fire. He starts to back away.. And soon, he starts to see, and hear, things. He saw the Charizard get up, and approach him with a growl. “You’ll pay for that..” Charlie spoke in anger.. And by then, Iceslasher already begin to dash out of the cafe.

When the Hakamo-o left the Cafe, he ran off, eyes full of fear, worry, and is on high alert. Not only did he attract attention to himself, and revealed himself to the mysterious cloaked person who he thought was the Arctozolt that attacked him in the snowy tundra, but also harmed his friend, who is now hunting after him just like the Arctozolt. Iceslasher’s heartbeat is the only thing he could hear.. He didn’t look behind him as he ran, as his top priority is to get away from those two. No, he needs to hide. He HAS to hide.

After a bit of running, Iceslasher find himself be at a spot next to a cliff. The sight of the cliff flashed him with memories from the Arctozolt. The flashing memories start to flood his mind.. Which made him see the Arctozolt and the enraged Charizard approaching him. “NO!” The Hakamo-o cried out, backing away from the two. “S-Stay back!” The Hakamo-o used Ice Beam at them, but they somehow got through it. He kept using the beam attack, over and over, and each time, he stepped a few feet away.. Just so they couldn’t hurt him. Soon, he find himself be at the edge of the cliff. Iceslasher, noticing that he’s at the egde, would start to have tears in his eyes. He doesn’t want to get hurt.. He doesn’t want to fall again.. And as he looked at the looming death before him.. His body was paralyzed from fear.. And when one of the two start to approach him.. The Hakamo-o screamed “No!” and tried to get away, but he couldn’t as his body was paralyzed in fear. Is this the end? The Hakamo-o would only close his eyes, and braced for impact.. But.. nothing happened. Instead, he feels something.. Hugging him. Iceslasher, scaredly, opened one of his eyes, only to see Milo hugging him.. The Hakamo-o tried to get away, but the hug was tight.. Yet comforting. The Hakamo-o’s hallucinations wear off, and the area he was in on wasn’t a cliff, but was in a plain of flowers. This got the Hakamo-o to chuckle. Never has he expected to be in such freight.. And..vulnerable? The Hakamo-o blinked.. And he saw Charlie, who is there looking at him with a worried look on his face. And when the Hakamo-o tried to speak, tears poured from his eyes. He tried to speak again, but it only make random noises..  Last thing he knew, he is already crying.. And is hugging Milo back..
“There there, Icey.. You are safe now.. That Arctozolt won’t hurt you any longer..” The Gardevior spoke, rubbing the Hakamo-o’s back.. Soothing Iceslasher as he cried.. The sight of them hugging made Charlie went to hug them as well.. His wings covering them as he hugged..

After the hug, things slowly went back to normal, as if nothing has happened. And soon comes Christmas day.. The day when all would end. In a random spot in the Alola’s forests, Iceslasher and Milo were chatting about their lives.. When Charlie walked in, seeming to be in a jolly mood. “Hey guys, guess who got us a home to live in!” The Charizard cheered, and Milo was cheering as well. “Yes! Finally, we could get out of this dang forest and live in a home trainer-free!” The Gardevior smiled. “How ya get it?”

“Uhhhhhhhh…”
“Charlie. It’s pointless to lie to me. I know that you broke in, set a trainer on fire, throw all of their items out of their home and claim it as your property.” Milo spoke, and Charlie was shocked. “How did you- Oh. Right. Psychic type. Ugh.. Well anyway, yeah!” Charlie smiled. The two got up and danced together.. Though Iceslasher wasn’t dancing. “You two.. Go ahead without me.” He said with a small smile, which made both of them stop dancing instantly. “What!? Why?” Milo and Charlie asked. “Well, you two has taught me so much, and helped me get through any situation. I like you two for that. But I.. I decided to stay in this world, and try to live life for myself. But in order for me to do that, I have to depart from you both. So.. I am sorry..” Iceslasher said. The news got the two to be sad and hug him. “Ugh.. You two, I’ll miss you. But do not worry, I’ll try to visit your new home when I am free.” The Hakamo-o said while hugging the two back. They hugged for a while, but soon.. They stopped. Iceslasher got up, waved goodbye to the two people who helped him a lot during his time here, and without looking back, walked away..

And so, that is the story of the snow-born Diamond Hakamo-o that lived through the snowy area but was transported to the unknown world, who now has the one thing they lacked.. Friends.

Merry Christmas, and have a good year.

(Sorry if this one is bad. Never got a chance to plan what to have for this chapter)
