Chapter 1: the meeting/ flashback
(Aaron's pov)
I remember the day we met. It was December 20th of 2004. I was six years old at the time I meet her. I was happily playing in the forest near my house in Milaca of la region de Mille Lacs. It was beautiful to my standards, it was the winter time. To outsiders and elders it's harsh and mostly older people. But I'm different, I love it. Anyways, I was playing in the forest by my house, as I'm ten minutes out from my house, I heard screaming not fear screams, pain screams.
I know, I have very heightened sense of hearing, smell, and touch since I'm blind, not fully blind but still. I ran to the noise to see what it was. As I got there a minute later, I saw three wolf - like pokemon; all three are Mightyena. One has a big scar on its face running from the right ear to left bottom jaw, and one on its right sides, from just looking at it I assumed it was the pack leader and all three was cornering a helpless Ralts to or onto a big tree.
As I got closer I accidentally stepped on a stick, CRACK! It snapped pretty loudly and still echoing through the forest. The pack of wolves turned to me, which I just stood there frozen by the sound. As I got my composer back, the leader came running at me. As small as I was, I only was fast enough to evade them, not out run them. The leader lunged at me thinking of me as its next meal.
I ducked under him; when he got over me, I punched him hard in the stomach. With how "Idiotic" I was as a kid, I ran towards the other two. The one on the left lunged for my feet, so as an impulse, I kicked his head down into the ground. The right Mightyena lunged straight at me; I dodged him and kneed him in the ribs. But what I didn't notice was how they clawed me. I was bleeding on my legs, stomach, and back. But it didn't matter. I ran towards the injured pokémon. As soon as I got too it, it was almost passed out passed out and I could hear more Mightyenas.
As I reached her, I gently grabbed her and took off running to a hiding spot. This was pretty much useless because they can smell blood. I started to bolt anyways. One thing I knew is their center of gravity. So, with the half- dead Ralts in my hands, I sprinted towards a frozen lake. But as soon as I reached a huge boulder, I was ambushed by Mightyenas and a couple Poochyenas. The pack circled me off, the alpha male came to me in a low stance. As soon as it deemed close it lunged at me, the only thing I could was curl up the claw marked pokemon. As I got to the ground, in an upright fetal position, I covered it. "Is this it?" I thought. Then all of a sudden I saw a red blur that attacked the alpha male. I got up and saw my Arcainine, Bubba; was defending me from them and then, BANG! I heard gunshots. I turned around, and saw my dad with his 12 gauge shotgun. That was the last thing I remembered before blacking out.
Twenty minutes later, I woke up to find myself in my room lying in my bed. I tried to get up but pain shot up and I started to tear up from the pain. I looked at myself covered in bandages.
Then something rustled beside me. I looked over on my left side, there it was, the Ralts I saved. I got up, due to find Bubba and my daddy to thank them, and I was hungry but before I actually got up, I introduced myself as Aaron Smith. As I came downstairs, Bubba jumped on me from being happy to see me. "I love you too boy and thank you". When I patted his head, he got up and noticed my back was bleeding. He came up to me and was licking my back, "Bubba, what are you doing?"
"He's just licking your wounds which you're back opened from you getting up too quick, I'm still surprised that your leg and stomach didn't open knowing you, Aaron." My dad said. "Anyways, how are you feeling?"
"Hungry." I answered him.
He sweat drops, "As I figured. Even when you're all cut up that's all you say? Well okay."
"Oh and thank you, for helping me Daddy." I told him as he gave me a sandwich. "Oh no, Bubba's the true hero, how is she feeling?"
"She?" I asked curiously.
"Aaron, you know I'm a medic so I gave her a checkup, and yes you can keep her." He told me with a smile.
"Thank you daddy." I gave him a hug and ran back upstairs. "Jason, have you seen Aaron or Nate?" "Aaron ran back upstairs and Nate's in his room as always." He tells Heather.
"I'm glad Aaron's alright." My mom said.
As I got back up to my room, I saw her sitting up, looking out of the window.
"Here, you should eat something." I said while giving her half of my sandwich.
"Ralt ralts." She hesitantly took the half sandwich from me.
"Go ahead, try it." I reassured her, "you look hungry."
She slowly brings it up to her mouth and took a little bite from it. Then she realizes that it's not gonna hurt her, so she scarfs it down.
"Ra ralts." She hugs me as a 'thank you'. Then and there as she hugged me, she felt something warm and non-threatening, protective and loving, strong yet gentle. She also felt something else; she could tell I could feel the same thing about her. As she felt that, she let go of me and a faint blush appeared on her face. I looked at her thinking if she has a low fever, but I didn't press the matter.
We sat there awkwardly, then after a while, I spoke up "Looks like I can keep you." After hearing this, she happily hugs me again. "But first." She looks at me in confusion when I continued to talk. "First, I need to name you. Hmm, how about" I paused for a second, "Jennifer?"
She shook her head. I sat there thinking as hard as my young mind could handle, which concerned her. Then the name came to me. "Jaden?" I sat there watching her face expressions; well it was worth a shot.
When I was getting sad cause I had given some thought to the name. Suddenly, I felt something embracing my waist. I looked down and saw her hugging me saying that she loved the name and would want it to be hers.
"Jaden it is then." I told her with a young, naïve smile. Jaden bounced up and down with joy for her having the name.
"I think we'll be close friends." I gave her a friendly smile as she blushed and smiled back.
Time flew by as we became best friends. We helped each other with a lot of things, she taught me how to read auras since we both know I don't have the best vision, and I taught her that not all people are bad. Hey what did I know, I was four at the time, which I didn't know any better. But at the time period I'm at is twelve years after this encounter.
