Bonding Night

"Damn, it's hot." I moaned as I walked through the forest. It was a hot spring afternoon. I could hear the calls of wild Pokémon throughout the forest, but I didn't care about them. The only thing I cared about at that time was to find a lake or a pond to relax by. I wiped my forehead, my hand covered with sweat and panted hard. I noticed something shining in the distant.
I gasped as I ran towards it. "Please let it be a pond." I said to myself. I broke through the bushes and my jaw dropped with the sight. A beautiful pond with a little waterfall gently lapping into the pond below. "It's wonderful" I said out loud. I dropped my bag and crouched near the water edge and dipped my hand it. The water was perfect. I got back up and took off my shirt. Good thing I was wearing board shorts that day. I took off my runners and socks and I dipped my hands into my pockets to flush out any items I have when I felt two Poke balls inside.
I pulled them out and stared at them. "I should let them out." I said to myself. "This would be better with company." I enlarged them and held them out in front of me. "Go Dewott and Lilligant." The Poke balls snapped open and in front of me appeared my two best Pokémon. They were both female, but I didn't mind. They are my best friends and were my first two Pokémon I ever had. I had Dewott ever since she was an Oshawott. She was actually my starter Pokémon. Lilligant was the first Pokémon I ever caught.
It was a tough battle when my Dewott was an Oshawott, but she pulled through and we caught her. It didn't take us long to become friends with her. They both looked around in amazement at the sight. "No point in staring at it." I said to them. They turned around and stared at me. I never had my shirt off in front of Pokémon. So this was the first time they saw me bare-chested. I smirked at them as I took a run up from the shore and dived into the pond. The water was refreshing and it instantly revived my whole body.
The cooling freshness of the water was like a breath of fresh air. I broke the surface of the water and shook my head. They were both still standing there. "Well, come on in!" I shouted at them. "The water is good!" Dewott turned to Lilligant. "Dee" she said to Lilligant. She nodded as Dewott dived into the water. She popped up next to me as Lilligant was waist deep in the water. Without proper legs, Lilligant couldn't swim. I swam to her with Dewott in tow
. "Good isn't it" I asked them. "Dee" Dewott said as she dived underwater. "Lilli" said Lilligant. We must of have stayed in the water for hours because when we looked up at one point, we could already see stars. "I think it's time to set up camp." I said to them. They nodded as we got out of the water.
Dewott shook herself dry as Lilligant absorbed the water. I couldn't do either of that so I did what humans usually do. I collected some sticks and rummaged around in my bag for some matches. Within a few minutes I have successfully created a fire as we all crowded around it for warmth. With the fire crackling and sparkling, I took a deep breath and rested my muscles.
This was the life, hanging out in the wilderness with my two best Pokémon. It soon got a bit chilly. I packed some warm clothes just in case for nights like this. "I'll be right back." I said to them. "I'm just going to get changed into something warmer." I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked a good distance away from them. I found a small clearing and got changed. I pulled a long sleeved shirt over my head when I heard some rustling in some bushes nearby. I quickly spun around and jumped back
A Venipede crawled out of the bushes. Knowing that Venipedes can be pretty brutal in battle, I stood my ground and try to not look like a threat. It stopped and stared at me. Those big yellow bug eyes staring at me. I swallowed hard as it continued to stare at me. My jaw dropped with shock as it turned around and started to crawl away. I dropped down my guard and sighed with relief. Which I wished I didn't do. It lunged at me with its tail and slashed at my stomach. It only did minor damage as it rushed off into the night. I stared at the cut, it wasn't big but it was bleeding a bit. I covered it with my hand as I began to feel a bit light headed. "I don't feel to good now." I said to myself. I coughed which I then jumped back with shock as purple bubbles came out of my mouth. "It used poison tail on me." I said to myself. I stood up, the pain increased in my side. I felt awful, everything around me started to grow dark. I felt tired and I want to go to sleep. "Stay awake, Jack" I told myself. I didn't last long as I collapsed on the ground, just a few steps away from my bag.
I felt that death was upon me. Choking my throat, waiting for my last breaths. My eyelids were closing. "Goodbye, Dewott…" I whispered. "Goodbye… Lilligant." I closed my eyes as I felt the world fade away.
