Yes, this is a side story that I created that has absolutely nothing to do with Transported to Another World and the stories that would come after it. Apparently, I go through phases of Fanfiction writing, because before I would write and read more about Sonic the Hedgehog(Which my next fanfiction will still have some of that in it), but now, it's Pokemon! I have concluded that the reason why is none other than Mudkip. Yes, I decided to look up Mudkip on and got hooked. :P Also, random fact, I'm updating this from Michigan! But, anyways, enough talking! Lets get this show on the road! This fanfiction is based about six months after the two heroes defeated Darkrai. If you don't know about that, then you shouldn't read this fanfiction.
The Final Goodbye
Chapter 1: Kicked Out
"What do you mean that you're disbanding me?" a voice cried out.
"I'm sorry, Riolu, but you have been messing up way too much to stay," another voice said.
"What do you mean by that, Vulpix?" Riolu asked.
"I mean that other team members have surpassed you in leveling. You are also no longer able to carry your own weight in the dungeons anymore," Vulpix said.
"But I helped create the team in the first place! I was always there for others, and you were too, but now this?" Riolu stated. Vulpix just nodded her head.
"Fine, then! I guess I won't be needing this then," he said while tearing off his Power Band. "Or this," he said while taking off the Treasure Bag. "And most importantly, this," he said while taking off his Explorer Badge.
"Riolu.." Vulpix started, but Riolu stopped her.
"No, Vulpix, you have disbanded me, so I will go. I guess this is the final goodbye, since I will not come back to see you. So, goodbye." With that, Riolu quickly left from the base in Sharpedo Bluff before Vulpix could say another word. Before long, he was at the mountains that surround Treasure Town. As he looked off into the distance, he realized that it was his own home that he had just left behind, and it pained him to leave. He then looked off into the sea and saw storm clouds coming towards Treasure Town. Riolu knew that Vulpix wasn't too fond of thunderstorms but couldn't do anything to comfort her anymore.
"Good ridence to her," he said before hopping down the mountainside and running off towards the direction of Fogbound Lake.
That night, Vulpix was in Sharpedo Bluff, trying to get some sleep while the storm was raging outside. She was in turmoil to what she had done earlier that day, but felt it was necessary. But today was just the day to do it, as a thunderstorm raged over Treasure Town that night. Vulpix hated thunderstorms, but she had to ride it out while she was alone. She didn't want her fear to be running wild, and her to feel weak. And so, a restless night began for her.
(3 years later)
In the three years since Riolu had been disbanded from the exploration team, he had made not a single Poke. He never needed to. Whenever a pokemon from Fogbound Town needed to be rescued or to be arrested, he would always save them, but never take anything from them or the officers. He also occasionally went on runsfor the Kelcon Market that was in town. He got by because the people in twon would give him certain things to survive, as that was all he asked of them.
His home was one of the many caves around Fogbound Lake. It was small, only big enough for himself, and rarely seen from exploration teams going to Steam Cave. He had run into a few exploration teams over the years, and all of them left in either wonder and awe or covered with bruises, and those covered in bruises never came back.
One thing that Riolu was happy about was that, now, the paper was used more than just for help, but for current events. These "newspapers" were circling the globe and went to far off lands that he had never even heard of. Every once in a while, an article will be about him and how mysterious he was that no rewards were ever taken, yet Fogbound Town was always safe and secure. Also, every once in a while, an article about the exploration team that he had left would come up, usually with Vulpix in the picture, and it pained his heart to look at it.
However, one day was drastically different.
It started off normal, as he woke up and climbed out of his house. As he walked into towns, he said a few "Good mornings," with a smile on his face. He made it to the Kelcon market without any problems.
"Good morning, Kelcon brothers," Riolu said, "Could I have todays newspaper and an Oran Berry?"
"Certainly," said the green Kelcon, and he gave Riolu the newspaper and the Oran Berry.
"Say, you wouldn't know about Fogbound Town's mystereious gaurdian, would you?" the purple Kelcon asked with a smile. Riolu just laughed at that, as he had always since the first article of that had come up.
Riolu started eating the Oran Berry, and got halfway before he found a nice place to sit. He sat down and looked at the newspaper with the Oran Berry right next to him.
The berry wouldn't get touched again.
After reading the first title, Riolu was in shock. Before long, he dropped the newspaper and ran off.
This is what the title on the newspaper was.
Treasure Town destroyed. Everyone evacuated to another town.
Well, like it? Sorry to all of my fans that liked the Sonic the Hedgehog Fanfiction. I will get back to that soon, just not now. Please R&R, and I will see you next time!
