Pokémon X Y And Z, Beings Apart Chapter 1
"Wow, you've got stronger than I remember Jamie!" Sawyer spoke in astonishment, taking down notes on the battle.
"Well, I do have 7 gym badges, right?" Jamie spoke, tilting his head sideways, shrugging his shoulders.
"Ash and his friends are currently heading to Snowbelle City to get Ash's eight gym badge, and soon, a new friend will be joining them, by the name of Jamie."
"Well, I know you do, but Grovyle had the upper hand against Furret." Sawyer spoke, smiling and praising Jamie.
Jamie's gray jacket, which was way to big for him, was blown in the wind as he chuckled. Jamie shook the hand of Sawyer, thanking him for the battle. Jamies Furret, who was being worn like a scarf, shivered a bit. Jamie then noticed a flock of Pokémon right beside them and pointed them out.
"Hey, Sawyer, do you see the flock of Dodrios over there?" Jamie spoke, pointing at them.
"Oh, yeah. I think I'll catch one!" Sawyer pronounced, turning towards them. "All right Grovyle, Leaf Storm!"
Sawyers Grovyle then bounced up off the trees, heading towards the flock. It then proceeded to fire leaves at the ground, missing the flock. They then got startled and sprinted away. Grovyle looked determined, then he chased the flock, disappearing into the forest.
"Oh no. Grovyle! Come back!" Sawyer shouted, turning around running after him.
"Jeez, Sawyer…" Jamie sighed, hanging his head low. "Alright, Honchkrow. Follow them please."
After Honchkrow was sent out, he proceeded to follow the way Sawyer went. Honchkrow followed behind them, keeping up with Groyvles speed. Jamie casually strolled behind them, not taking his eyes of his path. A few minutes later of chasing the flock of Dodrios, they found an opening. The Dodrios then passed through it, so did Jamie and Sawyer. Sawyer was then shouting, hoping to get Groyvles attention.
"Groyvle, wait for me!" Sawyer shouted, running towards the people who surrounded Grovyle and Honchkrow
"No need to shout, he's right there. Calm down." Jamie spoke, slacking behind Sawyer.
"Sawyer?" A boy questioned, although, he didn't seem to familiar to Jamie.
"… Oh, it's you guys." Sawyer spoke, out of breath as Jamie walked beside him. "I can't believe I ran into you."
"What was that all about?" The girl beside the boy who was talking earlier spoke.
"I was trying to catch one." Sawyer spoke, getting his breath back.
"That's why you were chasing them." The boy from earlier spoke. Grovyle let out a short chant of its name.
"Um… Do you know these people?" Jamie spoke, leaning into Sawyer.
"Oh, yeah. These are my friends." Sawyer began. "They've helped me through my adventure."
"Huh, well that's neat." Jamie spoke, smiling at them.
"Hi there! I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and here's my little buddy Pikachu." Ash spoke proudly, a little pika coming out after.
"I'm Serena, I'm a new trainer and Pokémon showcase winner." She greeted herself with a bow.
"I'm Clemont, I'm the gym leader of Lumiose City and over there is my little sister Bonnie." He introduced himself, looking over to Bonnie.
"Jamie, ah, it seems we have someone from Kanto, huh?" Jamie spoke, looking towards Ash, his Honchkrow walking towards him.
"Yeah, where are you from?" Ash questioned, interested.
"Safron City, born and raised there all my life. My dad works for Silph Co. and my mom works for the new magnet train station." Jamie spoke proudly, a little grin on his face.
"Wow, that's nice, Jamie." Serena said. "And cute scarf as well."
"Oh this isn't a scarf." Jamie spoke, looking down at his scarf. They were a bit surprised until Jamie patted his 'scarf'. Then, suddenly, the scarf stood up. It smiled and let out it's cry. "It's my companion." Jamie spoke, folding his arms with his smirk on his face
"Wow, that's a cute Pokémon!" Serena spoke in astonishment, reaching for her Pokédex. She then checked the Pokémon to see what it was.
"Furret. The Long Body Pokémon. This Pokémon has a very slim build. When under attack, it can slickly squirm through narrow spaces and get away quickly from bigger predators."
"Hey! My Squishy's gone!" Bonnie spoke, rushing over to the group. Ash, Serena and Clemont all gasped in shock while Sawyer and Jamie stood there clueless.
"Squishy who?" Sawyer spoke, looking at Bonnie in curiosity.
"So, she's missing a thing called Squishy, and we have to find it right?" Jamie questioned, his gestures meaning seriousness. They all nodded in agreement. "All right then, I'll help. Honchkrow, let's go."
Jamie then proceeded to climb on Honchkrow's back. It began to flutter and got ready to fly. "Alright, Me and Honchkrow will look from the skies, you look around that area." Jamie shouted, high above in the air. Then, both Jamie and Honchkrow both flew away. The group then began looking around the area, keeping a keen eye out for something squishy looking. They checked areas high and low for him. They all shouted out Squishy's name, trying to get its attention.
"Sawyer, thank you and your friend so much for helping us look." Ash thanked Sawyer with a gentle smile.
"No prob, don't forget I wanna meet Squishy too." Sawyer replied in honesty.
"Buddy! See anything up there?" Ash called out to Pikachu up in the trees. He then shook his head and let out a disappointed Pika. Over the trees flew Jamie and Honchkrow, both looking intensively. Suddenly Honchkrow let out a squawk. Jamie was caught off guard and was a bit shocked.
"Hey, what's up?" Jamie said, leaning towards Honchkrow's face. It pointed it's beak towards what was underneath them. He then noticed a little, squishy looking green blob being cornered by people in red suits. "Yeah, I think that's it. Thanks Honchkrow." Jamie said, urging Honchkrow to go back. He did a little dive before floating back up again, flying into the forest. He then noticed Ash and the others on the ground below them.
"Hey, Ash! Is Squishy a little green blob looking thing?" Jamie shouted back down from where he hovered above everyone.
"Yeah, he is!" Ash shouted to him, his hands on his mouth to make him louder.
"Well, I've found him. And…" Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the distance. They all turned around to see a trail of smoke behind them. "Well, we need to go that way."
They all then rushed towards the smoke, hoping for the best. They were lucky as they saw Squishy, but he was in a bit of a predicament.
"It's Squishy!" Bonnie called out, noticing its struggles to escape.
'What are you trying to do?" Ash shouted, readying himself for anything.
"Who are you children?" A woman with purple hair spoke angrily.
"Leave that Pokémon alone!" Ash spouted back angrily.
"Pokémon, huh? I suppose so." She spoke all cocky like.
"Oh no, look how scared it is." Serena spoke, really concerned about its well being.
"Well, what we do with our little one is our business isn't it?" She spoke with power. The Pokémon tried squirming out of the other Pokémon's grasp. There was then anger in the atmosphere.
"What does she mean 'our'?" Serena questioned, still worried. The Pokémon still attempted to break free, squirming and wriggling.
"No, Squishy is asking for our help." Bonnie spoke determined. "You let Squishy go!"
"Who do you guys think you are anyway?" Ash spoke, his fist up high, readying himself.
Please, what a bore." The woman with purple hair spoke angrily. "Drapion, use…"
Suddenly, Drapion was caught off guard as it was hit in the back, knocking it to the ground. She then grunted and looked behind her. A person was behind her. It was Jamie and Honchkrow.
"That's for cutting me off." Jamie spoke clenching his hands into fists. His Honchkrow let out a cry. There was a sudden wave of joy over everyone.
"Yes, Jamie!" Ash spoke happily. The woman then became very agitated, staring down Jamie.
"Why you… Draporion, Pin Missle!" She demanded the Pokémon to use its move. It then stood up and fired the attack on him.
"Honchkrow, Haze." Jamie sternly spoke. Honchkrow then let out a black mist, covering the area. Then, when the mist cleared, each of the people there had disappeared.
"The nerve of him…" The woman with purple hair began. "Still, that wasn't half bad."
Later on in that day, they managed to escape the people in the suits. They were all out of breath except of Jamie, who rode on Honchkrow.
"Everyone here?" Jamie spoke fluttering down to them.
"Yeah…" Ash began. "What was all that anyway?"
"Squishy, you're ok!" Bonnie proclaimed, happy to see it without a scratch. "You were asking me to help you back there, weren't you Squishy?"
"Why don't we camp out here tonight?" Clemont spoke, looking up at the sky to see it dimming.
"Yeah, everybody come out!" Ash spoke, throwing the Pokéballs he had in the air. Serena and Clemont also did the same. Multiple Pokémon appeared from a nice selection from a Hawlucha to a Luxray.
"Oh, wow!" Sawyer spoke in astonishment. "An Eevee and a Noibat! You caught some new Pokémon."
"Well, I might as well let you all me my Pokémon then huh?" Jamie said, reaching for his bag and grabbing two Pokeballs and threw them up as well. From those Pokeballs came a Gyarados and a Delphox.
"Wow! A Delphox!" Serena spoke in astonishment. "Amazing!"
"And a Gyarados, too." Clemont spoke. "You must be an experienced trainer."
A few minutes later, they began to eat around the area. They each indulged themselves into poffins and berries. The trainers all watched them, except Jamie who ate noodles.
"Want this?" Bonnie asked Squishy. It turned its head away in refusal.
"It looks like Squishy doesn't want to eat." Sawyer spoke.
Soon after that, both Pikachu and Dedenne offered berries to Squishy in a kind gesture.
"Oh, that's so nice, thank you." Bonnie thanked the two of them with happiness. Although, after what they did, Squishy still refused to their surprise.
"Squishy doesn't like Poffins or Berries…" Jamie spoke curious.
Suddenly, Squishy bounced away to a little tree stub and jumped on it. It then faced towards the sun.
"What's Squishy doing?" Bonnie wondered aloud. Then, after a couple of seconds, it seemed to nap and take in sunlight. "Maybe all it needs is sunlight."
"Well, that's convent." Serena spoke, thinking logically.
A few minutes later, Sawyer and Jamie were examining the Pokémon. Jamie looked at the Pokémon carefully while Sawyer drew a sketch of the Pokémon.
"Sawyer, you're so good!" Bonnie praised him, admiring his work.
"I wanna find out more about Squishy so I think I'm gonna ask the very next gym leader all about it." Sawyer spoke, still concentrating on his work.
"That's a great idea!" Ash spoke. "Tell me, how many gyms have you and Jamie been to Sawyer?"
"Well, we've been to a whole bunch. I've got five badges and Jamie's got seven." Sawyer said, showing the badge cases. "What about you?"
"I've got seven now." Ash said, showing him the case.
"Incredible, one more to go." Sawyer responded amused. "I'm going to the Anistar gym next, which one are you going to?"
"The Snowbelle Gym." Ash talked back, proud of himself.
"Oh, really?" Sawyer spoke. "Well, I'll show you how to get there. So it's right here"
Sawyer then reached for a map and laid it out on the grass. They looked in at the map to where Sawyer was pointing.
"You've been there?" Questioned Ash, curious on how he would know this information.
"No way, the gym leader's supposed to be really strong so not quite yet." Sawyer said, a little bit embarrassed. "Oh yeah, there's this cool place on the way to Snowbelle City called Terminus Cave. Take a look."
When night fell upon them, they all fell asleep, except for two things. Jamie and Squishy. Jamie analyzed the drawing of Sawyer. Jamie had seen a resemblance to a Pokémon that not many people have heard of.
"The patterns match…" Jamie whispered to himself. "They both sort of have the same shape. So, could it be?"
Suddenly, Jamie was startled by a noise. Bonnie was calling out for Squishy as it bounced away. It bounced pass Jamie and didn't look him in the eye.
"Squishy, wait up!" Bonnie called out, Jamie slowly following behind her.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ash questioned, looking to see where the two of them were going.
They each followed Squishy as it went through the forest. Suddenly, an array of Pin Missles had hit Squishy. Bonnie huried to cover him.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash demanded.
"Grovyle, Leaf Blade!" Sawyer demanded as well.
"Furret, Flamethrower!" Jamie demanded along with them.
The attacks all hit at once, knocking the missiles out of their way. Suddenly, the people from before had shown up. Everyone had became focused.
"Alright, Frogadier, let's go!" Ash called, sending out his Frogadier. Serena had sent out her Braxien, Clemont had sent out his Luxray and Jamie had sent out his Honchkrow.
"Hey, will you stay out of this please?" The woman from earlier said. "I told you it was mine."
"Well, you're wrong." Ash fiercely said. "If Squishy was yours you wouldn't be treating it the way you do."
"Enough! This is all getting very old!" The woman said. "Cross Poison, go!"
"Dark Pulse, now!" The three assistants spoke.
"Frogadier, Water Pulse, let's go! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash ordered his Pokémon. Serena used Flamethrower. Clemont used Swift. The attacks merged together and created a blast. When the smoke cleared Ash had this to say.
"Serena, Clemont, take Bonnie and get away." Ash demanded.
"Yeah, do it. Me and Ash will take care of this." Sawyer added onto the statement.
"Here, Clemont, Serena, Bonnie. I'll be with you, alri'?" Jamie spoke, standing tall.
"Alright, but please be careful ok?" Clemont asked. Just then, Luxray, Braxien and Honchkrow were returned. Furret hoped on Jamie's shoulders and they took off. They had ran through the forest through Jamie's navigation and had come across some rocks. Jamie went across first with ease, standing at the end to help. Suddenly, Bonnie had fell in. Serena and Clemont went to help her when Squishy was taken downstream. Suddenly, Jamie noticed this, sent out Gyarados and surfed downstream. He kept looking around until he noticed Squishy on a little rock, wondering where he was.
"Oh Squishy, you're alright." Jamie said, approaching close to him. "You had me worried sick."
Suddenly, the two of them looked up to see the people from before were there. Except this time, it was a new person with green hair leading them. Suddenly, a Houndoom and a Sneasel surrounded Squishy, to which Jamie hoped on the rock.
"Hold on now, no fighting." Jamie reassured the Pokémon.
"Move out of the way, buddy." The girl said. "We need him for our experiments so give it up."
Then she sent out a Bisharp. Squishy was standing behind Jamie in fear, while Jamie was confident protecting him.
"You think you're strong? Let's see then." Jamie then sent out Honchkrow to fight with Gyarados and Furret.
"Furret, use Return!" Jamie proclaimed. The Furret then ran up to the Bisharp and used the move on him. The Return was so strong it had knocked out the Bisharp in one hit. The woman was shocked at what happened.
"Jeez Furret, didn't know you were that strong." Jamie confessed. Suddenly, something glowed green behind him. He noticed Squishy… changing. The people in the red suits were surprised, Jamie stood there in curiosity. Then suddenly, waves of green lights came to him. He looked ready, powerful. Jamie was impressed by this. He then watched as Squishy changed from a small green blob to something unexpected, a hound. Now Jamie could see the resemblance of the Pokémon he was thinking of earlier. If this was him, he would put him to the test.
"All right, Squishy, Land's Wrath!"
This was only a guess, but it had payed off. Suddenly, the ground began to crumble around him and Jamie. It then let out a big green explosion, which let Jamie in shock. After these events happened, Jamie looked at Squishy, who was now a blob again on the ground in pain, in proudness.
"So you are who I thought you were, huh?" Jamie said smiling, picking up Squishy who was hurt, petting it gently. "Guess I might come with them after all."
Suddenly, Bonnie hoped on the rock that they were both on. Jamie smiled while holding him. Jamie thought about it, and decided it was best not to tell them about who Squishy really is.
"He put up a good fight, not the best though…" Jamie spoke, looking down at him.
"Poor Squishy…" Bonne said, saddened.
When Squishy started gaining sunlight again, Jamie handed him over to Bonnie who hugged him.
"I'm sorry Squishy." Bonnie started here apology. "I won't let you go again."
Jamie then noticed Ash and everyone else beside them. Jamie then went down off the rock and to Ash.
"Hey, bud. I've been thinking about it all night and I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much trouble if I came with you and your friends. I'm interested in Squishy myself and I want to know more about it. Also, you've been great friends so far, and I can try help around with what you need to do and…"
Jamie was then stopped by Ash who outstretched a hand. Jamie was a bit shocked but glad.
"Hey, if a friend of mine wants to tag along, they can any time." Ash said sincerely. Jamie then smiled, shaking Ash's hand.
"Glad to be apart of the team, Ash." Jamie said thankfully.
"Anistar Gym Leader Olympia has a premonition, a vision. She saw a flickering green flame engulf Kalos, threatening to consume all of its people in a raging, swirling fire. Our heroes aren't aware of it yet, but that raging, swirling fire has already begun to swallow them in. Well, one of them is. What awaits them at the end of their experiences has yet to be discovered as the journey continues
