The Black Mist Saga

Disclaimer: Don't own pokemon but the original characters are mine.

This isn't a 'pokemon trainer starts new adventure in the pokemon world over used cliché' but is mini epic about six pokemon trainers who have to save the world from a world hungry fiend. Just wanted to clarify that and in case you're wondering, I wanted to use my characters since I can't write the original characters (Satoshi/Ash and the gang) with out messing up their personalities. And this place in a whole new pokemon league so don't bother looking up the unfamiliar places.

Oh and Pokemon speech is translated. They aren't speaking English.
Warning: Mild swearing and dark themes.

Chapter 1: Meet Our Hero, Oraru!

~*~

Some hunt all their lives for money.
Others for game.
While others hunt without purpose.
And some just hunt because they can

Miyoshi Oraru stood atop the cliff and watched the Pidgey and the Pidgeotto fly toward the glamorous sunset. His Ledyba, Noriko, stood at his side. Every day the two would watch the sunset, just cause it was tradition. He didn't know why or how long he did this daily activity but it didn't matter.

"Hey mista pokemon traina!" a shrill voice exclaimed. Oraru slowly turned to see a familiar face, his mother. "Watchin' the sunset again?" The boy slowly nodded before following the tall, blond woman into the most pitiful excuse of a building in the entire universe-his home.

The Sneasel walked along the dusty dirt path, in the middle of Mo-ri-n Forest. Leafy deciduous trees border lined the path he was walking on. Humming a tune along with his trainer's pokegear radio, he merrily continued but stopped abruptly when his ears picked up a noise. He leapt towards the noise and tackled a spying Caterpie, up in a tree. His trainer, covered in a long black cloak, called to him. He heard but he managed to scratch it up pretty bad before obeying.

"What was it?"

"Nothing to worry about, just a nosy Caterpie," he replied in pokemon speech. His trainer merely nodded before proceeding. They were very busy people.

Oraru scarfed down his third helping of cucumbers and sticky rice-probably his favorite meal. Noriko glared hungrily at the cucumbers as her stomach rumbled.

"You should've eaten your pokechow," Oraru lightly scolded before placing the rice bowl and chopsticks. "I'm done, wanna train now?" The Ledyba replied with a happy shrill before flying out the door.

"Oraru-kun, you better not leave me with the dishes!" his mother hollered but it was too late as the boy raced out of the house. "That boy"

"Now, sweet fragrance!" the boy hollered and the bug responded by sending a pleasant powder showering over the grassy field. Some Diglett popped out of the ground soon after ward. "Tackle!" the small bug rammed into the Rhydon-like substitute, which rested upon the flat topped, wooden fence. Oraru dashed over to the substitute and placed it back on its perch. "Good job, now again!" And so the ladybug complied.

"Help!!!!" a red head girl burst out of the nearby Mo-ri-n Forest and grabbed onto Oraru and screamed into his ears. "You have to help me! Insane pokemon are out to get meeee!!!!"

The 11-year-old pried her off and replied, "I'll help you if you stop screaming into my ears!"

"Thank you!" the girl replied before cart wheeling around the field. "Yiiiipee! I'm saaaved!" The boy simply sweat dropped and decided to return to training.

The girl, whom Oraru learned was Toriko, started a fire near the fence which he and Noriko were training.

"Have you ever had smoked fish? It's delicious!" exclaimed the red head while smoothing her wild tomboyish hair. Oraru took his hat off before whipping the driblets of sweat, which formed under his spiky black hair.

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

The girl nodded. "Would you like some? I have enough for two!"

"Thanks but I already ate," he replied before calling Ledyba back in his speedball.

Toriko smoothed imaginary wrinkles from her bright yellow shirt before tossing a pokeball into the air. "In that case, Smoochum gets to eat." The small baby pokemon smiled happily at the two before puckering her lips at an apple.

"Wow," Oraru took out his handy pokedex to analyze her. "So you're a pokemon trainer too?"

"Nope, I'm a breeder. I'm doing an experiment to see whether training a pokemon out doors is better or in doors."

"Neat." As the two continued their conversation, they were unaware of two shadows watching intently from high in the treetops.
