Chapter 4: Patience is a Virtue

Ash and the group were taken in by Ilyana and the mysterious man known as Virtue back to Virtue's place which was in the middle of the forest not too far from the actual mansion. The concept of someone living next to that haunted mansion was horrifying but this man seemed to have the power to chase the spirits away.

Cilan returned to his normal self and entered a state of shock given that the trainers barely made it out alive. Iris sighed as she was patting him on the back secretly enjoying the Connoisseur in this state of mind.

The group stayed in Virtue's living room (it was rather small and with how many people were in the room, it was going to be hard to squeeze in). While Cilan was lying on the couch with Iris comforting him, Ilyana placed Est on the other couch. The little witch recovered rather quickly and was already sitting on the couch instead of resting. Paul decided to lean against the wall so he could hear the story Virtue had to tell. Everyone else sat on the floor but Ash allowed Trip to lean into him if only because he was tired. The Pokémon were in another corner of the room, but Meloetta decided to go invisible again to avoid the new faces.

"Are you going to explain what happened in there?" Paul was the one that had to ask and break the silence. "I'm not going to believe that a bunch of spirits planned all of that."

Virtue didn't speak right away when the group got back. He went to get a cup of coffee for himself and asked anyone if they wanted any. Coffee did not taste good so most of the group declined. Cilan would have asked for some but he was still getting over his freak out.

"It happened." The older trainer muttered as he took the final couch seat on the opposite side of Est. "It has been for the past 100 years."

"100 years?"

This was going to be a long explanation that they were going to have to sit through. Sighing, Virtue put his cup of coffee down on the table before beginning.

"What you experienced in Spirit Mansion was the curse of the pale twins Alma and Alastor."

"Alma…and Alastor?" Ash ended up repeating their name.

"These twins roam the mansion cursing any trainer that is foolish enough to go into Spirit Mansion whether it's by a dare or have the need to explore the place in search of treasure or even to even confirm if the curse exists." Virtue glared at Est who avoided eye contact with the man responsible for saving her life. "And you were stupid to go into the mansion despite all of these facts."

"I thought they were false…" Est grumbled and just pouted.

"Bullshit." Trip responded quickly. "I know you. You'll go anywhere for any occult item you can use to scare someone."

"Shut it Trap!"

"It's Trip!"

"Trip, Est, please…" Ilyana burbled.

The two trainers had to be quiet as Virtue continued.

"Those twins not only kill trainers that go into their mansion, recently they have decided to lure ignorant trainers to their mansion and kill them…"

"Why? Why would they do such a thing?" Iris questioned not wanting an answer.

"It's a long story…" Virtue admitted. "It will take a while to talk about their past."

"Mr. Virtue," Ilyana started. "I think we should know if we want to know what we're up against."

"Right…"

100 years ago when Unova was still prospering, Black City was originally called White Forest and enjoyed a life of solitude. Three friends lived in White Forest without a care in the world. They were called Virtue, Dusk and Darlene. The trio was inseparable despite the age difference between Virtue and his two friends. Virtue who was already a Pokémon trainer was going to leave his friends soon to go out on a journey. The reason he didn't want to leave was because he was terrified of the world outside of the forest. Would people be kind to him or were the rumors about outsiders being cruel were true? He didn't want to know and only held back because his friends wanted to go with him, but even though they planned to leave soon, there plans backfire when the twins came into their lives.

The twins literally showed up from nowhere. Spirit Mansion was built north of White Forest and can easily be seen on clear days. The people that lived in the mansion were a mysterious bunch always talking about the past and how things have changed over time. This made Virtue wonder from time to time if the twins were real or just an illusion that was created over time.

The twins were very real though. One was a cute hyperactive girl that had too much energy for her own good. The other was a quiet but still adorable young boy that tended to hide behind his sister when people bombarded him with questions that he couldn't answer. Both had silky white hair and red eyes. Both wore kimonos from the Kanto region making them look more exotic than they intended to be. It didn't appear to many people that they looked like dead spirits to begin with. The twins were always the one visiting White Forest for errands and were never seen with their parents. The twins were inseparable before befriending the group of friends, but once they did, everything fell apart for the trio.

It was the female twin known as Alma that walked up to Virtue and asked him who his name was. Virtue thought it was odd for a little girl asking for his name given everyone knew who he was. He turned to the boy behind the little girl and gave him a warm smile causing him to look away shyly.

"…I'm Virtue. Are you new here?"

"Yeah! I'm Alma and this is my cute brother Alastor. We just moved here from Ransei."

Virtue had to think about that statement for a moment. Where was Ransei in the world? He read books about how it was an old country that eventually fell due to interferences with villains from the future and only the name of a few warlords lived on mainly the Date family that was the longest living family line that resigns in Johto.

"I see…what do you need?"

"Can you show us a place to buy food? We're low on food at home~" Alma hummed as she looked around the forest to see the beautiful leaves and forest Pokémon residing in them.

"I will, but first thing is first. Where are your parents? I cannot take children far away from their parents. I don't want to be seen as a kidnapper."

"Umm…they're…at the mansion…" Alastor mumbled shyly as he looked down. "Still packing…"

Virtue didn't know why the voice of the young boy intrigued him. It might have been because it sounded similar yet different from the girls. He didn't want to say the girl had an annoying voice, but the hyperactive twin was always the one he wouldn't want to speak to. The quiet one however tended to have more interesting things to say when you got him or her to open up.

"I see…will I have their permission?"

"Yes, of course!" Alma chirped as she rushed ahead of Alastor leaving him next to the older man.

"I'm sorry for troubling you…" Alastor replied weakly. "My sister isn't usually this cheerful…"

"I have a hard time believing that." Virtue said bluntly as he turned around. "Come. I'll show you around after I catch your sister."

That was probably the beginning of the end for Virtue. Virtue was use to taking care of kids and made sure to treat them all the same. However, Alastor was different. He needed a push in the right direction, and that resulted in Virtue leading the twins to where his friends hung out. They had a small hut where many Pokémon gathered to play with them. This was generally where Virtue was able to demonstrate how to raise Pokémon that would suit Dusk and Darlene.

Virtue didn't realize that by introducing the twins to Dusk and Darlene, things would fall apart. Alma wasn't a normal girl, but that was obvious from her appearance, but behind her genki personality hid a jealous girl that wanted to be the center of attention. She loathed how Darlene was always in the middle of the conversation because she had good jokes to tell. Her cheerfulness was genuine compared to Alma when put next to each other. When they stood side-by-side, Alma's happiness seemed forced and that irritated her to no end.

Another issue that Virtue should have resolved was stopping Alma from falling in love with Dusk. Alma was the type of girl to prefer the aloof bad boy that pushed everyone away but secretly wanted to love someone who was the exact opposite of him. Alma convinced herself that she was that person and often hung out with Dusk constantly ignoring her twin to be with him. Alastor seemed to be co-dependent on his sister so her actions made him more withdrawn than usual and Dusk didn't like the attention he was getting from the white haired girl.

Dusk was a complicated fellow. He said he didn't need any friends but came back to the group and hung out with everyone. Virtue knew he was a lonely individual that didn't know how to talk to girls. He had a crush on Darlene way before the twins fell into the picture. Alma pursuing him scared him. To add to that, Dusk had a fear of ghost Pokémon and the occult. He never told anyone that, but it was obvious when Alma and Alastor would describe the type of place they lived in and their hobbies would he began to shiver and insist that the subject was changed.

Dusk has failed multiple times to reject Alma's unwanted advances. What he ended up doing was going to Darlene for comfort. Soon, one thing would lead to another and the two would eventually hook up and be a temporary couple. Alma didn't take that well at all given that Dusk had "lead her on" and she started going over the deep end. It was noticeable whenever she talked, her voice would crack at some points like she was about to snap. Alastor noticed and was terrified of his twin. He wanted to get away from her while she threw her temper tantrums at home. Virtue never asked what happened at their mansion, but it wasn't pleasant. It got to the point that Virtue started to take care of Alastor who was finally able to not be so dependant on his twin.

This was another mistake though according to Virtue. Another thing he did not expect was for Alastor to develop any feelings toward him. He rejected those feelings for many reasons. First Alastor was another guy and White Forest did not accept homosexuality. They consider relationships of the same gender to be a sin against the spirits of the forest and would cast out anyone who showed interest in the same gender. Second, there was a huge age gap between the two. It would be a crime to engage with someone who wasn't even a teenager yet. Finally, Virtue knew this relationship would bring tragedy to everyone around him.

Alas, someone found out about Alastor's crush on the older trainer and blew it out of proportion. Things got out of hand from there and Alastor was casted out of the forest not allowed to come back and escape his sister. Virtue tried to reason with the elder, but he would have none of it. It's like the village lost anyway of negotiating from this one misunderstanding.

Virtue might as well blamed Darlene for it given she misunderstood the situation. In fact, he could have said she brought it upon herself when horrible things started to happen afterwards. In fact, the disaster did start when the twins hung themselves due to isolation from their peers and believing their loved ones rejected them. From there, White Forest was cursed because of the twins starting with the Pokémon either getting sick and dying like animals or leaving the forest altogether to get away from the ominous presence. As the Pokémon disappeared one by one, some of the villagers began to disappear whenever the area got foggy. These villagers were never seen again.

A year later, Virtue, Darlene and Dusk would go to the mansion where their friends died to see what was going on. It ended tragically though as Virtue was the only one who came out of the mansion. He never saw his friends again.

Virtue ended the tale of the twins right there, but that only made the young group more confused. Was Virtue referring to himself in third person or was this Virtue a different person entirely? What exactly took place in the mansion that allowed the forest to be cursed? What became of Virtue's friends after the trio went into the mansion?

"Umm…Virtue…" Ilyana ended up speaking first. "What happened to White Forest?"

"You should know the rest." Virtue said with a sigh. "White Forest is now Black City, the city of greed. The twins made sure that everyone in the village died even if they left to avoid the curse that inflicted the city. However, this did not stop many businessmen to take White Forest as their own and build many skyscrapers with their money. Alas, the children that live in Black City tend to be taken away from their parents, but unlike in White Forest, it goes without notice. Building a sinful city will cause more deaths than necessary. People like me try to warn those money grubbing bastards about the incident, but they don't care…and then they wonder why they end up dead shortly afterward."

"Are you the Virtue in the past?" Ash had to ask randomly.

Virtue ended up glaring at Ash for even asking that question. "…No. Virtue is dead…besides…humans can't live that long without looking old."

"The twins can live that long." Trip commented.

"They're vengeful spirits that already had special powers granted to them. This is what happens when you can't clear up a misunderstanding."

"…It looked like you were trying to clear it up with them though." Paul mumbled.

"The Virtue of the past could not do it, so I will do it for him. They're a stubborn bunch though refusing to listen to reason. Sometimes I think I have to beat some sense into them if I'm going to get them to turn the other cheek."

"B-But what about us?" Cilan finally asked trying to calm himself down. "We entered the mansion, so are they still going to follow us?!"

"…I cannot say, but I plan on settling the score with them now. With the seal broken in the mansion, their murderous aura will run rampart and cover Black City, so it's my job to make sure there are no more victims."

"Can you do that…without getting us killed?"

"Cilan, stop being a baby!"

"B-But Iris…uh…"

"No, I understand your concern completely. I will be preparing to stop them tonight, but I would not advise you to leave on your journey just yet. Once you leave the area, I cannot guarantee your safety."

"So we're basically being used as bait to lure them out?" Paul questioned in utter annoyance.

"Paul, you're so rude!" Dawn fumed wanting to smack the jerkass trainer over the head for his insensitive comments.

Virtue said nothing to the comment and continued on. "There are not enough rooms for all of you, so two people per room."

Est instantly sat up happily. "I'm sleeping with Ilyana!"

That earned a smack from the dirty blonde.

"You try anything funny and I will hit you with something harder than my fist!"

"What can be harder than a fist? A frying pan?!"

As the two started to fight over Trip's aunt, Virtue already decided who would rest in the rooms. Dawn and Iris would stay in one room. Cilan and Paul would be together leaving Ilyana with Est (despite Trip's protest) and Ash and Trip. Trip was so busy pestering Est that he didn't even protest with being in the same room with the raven-haired trainer. Virtue advised that all the Pokémon stay in the living room given his rooms were not meant to take Pokémon in no matter how small they were. The biggest question Iris had was why a man that lived alone had so many rooms, but Virtue was done talking for the day apparently.

"Ah man, I can't believe we almost died in there!" Ash complained as he flopped on the bed. "No one told me that saving your sister would nearly get us killed!"

Trip rolled his eyes as he sat next to Ash on the bed. "For your information, Est isn't my sister. She is my mom and Ilyana's best friend and Ilyana's bodyguard. She is ten years older than me despite her appearance. There is no way in hell she would be my sister."

The dirty blonde didn't seem to take offense to Ash whining about dying but he took offense for Ash addressing Est as a family member. Ash sighed as he continued to lie on the pillow. "Still…what did Est do to piss these twins off?"

"The usual. Take something that doesn't belong to her and expect to get away with it. Sometimes I wonder if she does this on purpose."

"How would I know? You know her longer than I have."

"Sometimes I wish I didn't. She put you in danger…"

"Actually, it was you." Ash said in a matter of fact tone. This caused Trip to turn toward Ash his face beat red.

"W-What are you insinuating? Are you saying? Are you saying that I'm the distressed damsel despite the fact that Est was the one that went in the mansion and got herself captured?!"

The Kanto trainer chuckled at Trip's response. He had never seen Trip this worked up. Maybe acting like Gary wasn't so bad after all if it meant getting responses like this. Trip scowled as he turned away, folding his arms and acting like the conversation was done.

"I'm still glad that you're okay though." Ash said with a small smile. "If something bad were to happen to you, I would be very sad."

"!"

Ash had his back turned when he said those words. The Kanto trainer yawned and prepared to go to sleep without Trip responding to the statement at all. The gray-orbed trainer felt his heart race as he glanced toward the older trainer. The feelings he had been having for a while were swirling out of control. Trip didn't say anything to Ash though because for once, he was speechless.

Ash…why do you say these things to me? I can't handle these emotions well…

"If you're not going to do anything, I'll take over."

! W-Who are you? D-Don't tell me that you're…

"Tee-hee, I'm going to have fun when you refuse not to."

"But seriously Trip," Ash continued as he sat up and moved toward the edge of the bed. "Don't do that again. We were lucky that Virtue was able to save us. I don't think there will be a second chance."

"There is always a second chance."

Ash was puzzled at the tone of voice Trip was using. Glancing at the younger trainer, he noticed that Trip's eyes were no longer gray. They were red and full of an emotion that Ash could not pinpoint. Trip smiled seductively as he leaned toward the raven-haired trainer and gave a quick kiss catching him off guard.

"Ash, I'm tired of waiting. I'm ready for you now."

Me: TBC with 3771 words. Notes!

1. Virtue talks in third person when talking about the past. He also left a lot of information out in his explanation of the twins that will be cleared up in the next two chapters. Virtue is obviously hiding something but no one dares bring it up given his appearance.

2. I basically implied that White Forest became Black City given how nature usually becomes technology based. I read theories that White Forest is for the pure souls while Black City is for sinful people given that people only talk about money and fame. However, the flaw is that homosexuality is considered a sin in the past compared to now (because in America, the views are slowly changing but given how the red states refuse gay marriage, it's kind of hard to advance ya know.)

I feel like this chapter is rushed. If anything is out of place, please say it in the review and some things can be changed. Other than that, reviews are appreciated. Ja ne~
