A/N: Well, here it is, the first chapter of my first ever fanfic. I hope you enjoy, but just remember; it may not be one of the greatest stories since I'm sort of new to writing.

This story is based off the Pokemon series; it is about a Pokemon Ranger named Daniel and his companions.

Also, keep in mind that this story is rated M for some strong language and a few implied adult themes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I do however own this story.

Daniel's POV:

As I climbed a steep incline atop Mt. Glacier, I began to think that accepting this mission was a bad idea. Weather reports earlier showed that there was a blizzard coming in and now, because of my lust to save Pokemon, I was right in its path.

The strong, icy wind felt like cold steel piercing my skin as it hit me and the harsh, cold snow not only slowed me down, but left me freezing as I made my journey to the top of the tall mountain. At high altitudes like this, the temperatures dropped greatly and there was an increasing risk of getting Hypothermia, especially on nights as cold as tonight. It was so cold that not even the Pokemon indigenous to the area, who were used to the cold climates were outside.

I needed to find shelter soon or I would freeze to death. A cottage, a cave, anything would do, but unfortunately there was nothing in sight. My only option now was to continue climbing and hope that there was cover farther up the mountain, so I continued the treacherous hike up to the peak.

As I climbed, the sharp rocks, which were the only things to hang on to, tore apart my skin leaving scratches and cuts across my hands and legs. The jagged ridges of the cliff ripped through my gloves and pants as the scrapes and wounds released blood, staining my clothes with red.

I had Glaceon, my one and only Pokemon with me but decided to leave her in her Pokeball since I was in no need of assistance and did not want to expose her to the violent, cold weather. Plus, I also believed that she had already gone through enough…especially when I first met her.

~Flashback~

It was about eight months ago; I was on a mission to retrieve an Aron that had been separated from its owner. The Aron had last been seen in a forest near the base of Mt. Glacier (Where I am now) and as I treaded through the forest, I took note of my surroundings and noticed how alluring it was. The trees were covered in snow that seemed completely solid, almost like ice, giving it a crystalline look. The birds were singing, regardless of how cold it was, but other than that the forest was quiet and peaceful. I don't think I'd ever seen anything more beautiful in my life.

I am sorry to say however, that the beauty that a saw in the forest at that moment soon disappeared. As I walked through the forest, I eventually heard a faint sound. I ignored it at first thinking that it was nothing, but as I continued through the forest the sounds became louder. I soon figured out that the sounds were both cries of distress and groans of both pleasure and lust. This made me fear the worst and I quickly ran in the direction of these sounds, avoiding trees and dodging large rocks and shrubs as I made my way there. At one point I ran strait through a bush covered with thorns; quite a few of them stuck me and I got pretty scratched up (Especially around my waist) but I continued running and was intent on getting to where I was going. I even tripped on a stone, which gave me a deep gash across my leg, but I got right back up and ran faster than before.

After running for a few minutes and suffering a few minor injuries I arrived at my destination, which was a clearing in the woods with a small frozen lake at the center. The first thing I saw when I walked forward was a Glaceon, lying down on her stomach by a large tree. At first glance, I noticed that she was cut up in quite a few places including her face, left hind-leg and thigh. As I approached her, I heard that she was silently crying to herself. I was going to try and comfort her but as I got closer I developed a look of disgust on my face, as I smelled the odor of sweat and semen in the air. I glanced on the ground and saw fresh blood coming from between the Glaceon's legs and that is when I knew that I was correct about what had occurred here. At that moment, I got a feeling of disgust and sadness in the pit of my stomach. I felt sorry for what had happened to the Glaceon and mad at myself for not getting there in time, but at the same time, it sickened me to know that one Pokemon could do such a thing to another of its own kind. I closed my eyes as if I could not take in what had just happened. I then got up and turned around to see if the Pokemon who had done this was still nearby and as I glanced backwards I saw a male Absol disappear into some shrubs.

Knowing I could not catch up to it and that there was nothing else I could do for the Glaceon, I called into base on my walkie-talkie and requested that someone else retrieve the Aron. I explained what had happened and was given permission to return to base with the Glaceon.

As I walked back to base I was still haunted by images of what had happened a few moments ago.

When I returned to base I was immediately greeted by a nurse who requested to run some tests in order to determine whether or not the Glaceon was pregnant. I obediently handed the Pokemon over and hoped for the best. I waited in the waiting room patiently awaiting the results. After about 20 minutes I was relieved to hear that the Glaceon was not carrying a child. The nurse explained that the Pokemon just needed a few days of rest in order to recover.

"She'll be fine" The nurse said with a reassuring tone.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Positive" she answered.

"Okay, if you say so" I said leaving the room, but deep inside I knew that she would never recover emotionally from this experience.

Over the next week, I visited Glaceon often and over that time, we somewhat developed a bond and once she was allowed to leave, happily joined me on many of my missions. I named her Sierra.

~End of Flashback~

But there was no time for memories now; I still had a mission to complete and it was growing late, I would have to hurry.

By now I had nearly reached the top of the cliff and now felt relieved thinking that my journey had come to an end and that I could finally retrieve the Evee that I had accepted to save and return to base. However, as I climbed over the edge, my feeling of relief quickly faded away when I saw that I was nowhere near the peak of the mountain.

My mission was to get to the peak of Mt. Glacier and rescue an Evee that had fainted near the top. The informers who gave us this information said that they were flying by in a helicopter, coming back from a skiing trip and explained that they saw something lying in the snow. After closer inspection they identified the creature as an Evee and started to lower themselves to its position. Unfortunately, the strong winds were slowly building and they thought it dangerous to be flying in such rough weather, so they aborted and flew off, leaving that unfortunate Evee's life in my hands.

But now, as it got later and the temperatures grew colder, this task was becoming harder and harder to complete.

Ahead of me lied another treacherous cliff and even stronger winds than before. The blizzard was getting worse and I still had no place to rest, no place to warm up, no place to take cover from the raging storm.

I thought I was going to die, it was a strain just to take a single step and I was using all my strength to push forward to my objective, trying to stay alive. I didn't give up though, I kept moving on, traveling to my destination on what seemed like an endless quest.

It was useless though; I had been traveling for hours and I couldn't fight the cold any longer. I stumbled and fell into the snow, my body completely frozen, I was now crawling, trying to get back up, trying to continue and complete my mission.

But it was no use; I collapsed from exhaustion and the freezing cold weather. The storm had won.

So, did you like the first chapter? Sorry if it was a bit depressing, but things will get better and for those of you who think the flashback was unnecessary, I will tell you that it DOES play an important role later in the story.

I am expecting the next chapter to be done within a week or two.

Please post reviews and tell me what you think.
