Haldo (I meant to do that,) and welcome to my new crossover fic! It's Pokémon with Fire Emblem Awakening.
I was inspired to write this after reading Pokémon Trainer in an Outrealm by DMGmana and Fire Emblem: Pokémon Awakening by MBenz4268. (Both of which do not belong to me) Thank you if you're reading this for inspiring me.
Anyway, just to get some things set and clear:
1: My OC is the only character that has Pokémon; no more will be appearing in this story.
2: Robin is the default female avatar in this story.
3: Spotpass characters will be included, but DLC will not.
4: I'll think of parings as I go along. Don't bother me about them.
5: The Pokémon will use attacks based on their types, there might be a few exceptions.
6: The Poke speech will be translated.
And I think that's about it. If you have anything to ask, put them in the reviews or PM me and I'll try to answer as best as I can. And criticism is welcome, but please no flames.
Pokémon and Fire Emblem both belong to Nintendo.
Enjoy.
"That's enough everyone!" the voice of a young man about 18 years old echoed throughout the field as he watched his six Pokémon relax.
"Can't we have a few more minutes master?" whined the trainer's Gardevoir in a childish voice.
"Yeah well, I can't have you incredibly exhausted to the point where you become like Snorlax's! Now lift yourselves from the ground!" the trainer ordered. Reluctantly, the Pokémon stopping relaxing and went to their trainer who looked at them with pride.
Mina the Milotic, the one that makes jaws drop due to her beauty. Only her trainer and her fellow teammates are immune to this and treat her like a normal Pokémon.
Hinagiku the Gardevoir, the only one that can speak through telepathy and the most calm out of the group. But she has a childish side to her which sets her apart from her species.
Krakatoa the Camerupt, the one who is last in running races, but he makes up for it in strength and a fiery attitude.
Otachi the Salamence, the one used for transporting and has the loudest roar. He can Mega Evolve, making him the only one in the entire team that can until more Mega Stones are found.
Amethyst the Sableye, the jewel collector and the pacifist of the lot. He only fights if he has to and is usually skulking in the background.
Frostbite the Glalie, the one you don't want to be near in winter. She has an extremely cold outlook on life due to an incident in her past, making her trainer and Pokepals the only person and Pokémon that treat her well.
And last but not least, his family pet: Raika the Manectric. He is the family pet given to the trainer after his parents passed away due to sickness. He was the trainer's main source of comfort when dealing with depression after his parents passing and due to the Poke Ball missing, he is not considered captured and by the teenager's side at all times.
"Cam, Camer, Camerupt?" "Do you think something interesting will happen?" asked Krakatoa. It may have sounded like he was saying his name over and over, but only the Pokémon and his trainer could understand their natural language which like every other Pokémon, was saying their names to speak. The trainer could understand his Pokémon due to being with them for a long time. Hinagiku was the only exception due her telepathy.
"I honestly don't know, the future is a mystery indeed. And that is what makes it amazing," the teenager responded after a bit thought. "We just gotta look on the bright side of life!" Little did he know, his life was about take a massive change.
Meanwhile elsewhere, three people was hovering over another person who was laying on the ground unconscious.
"Chrom, we have to do SOMETHING," one of them said. The speaker was a young lady wearing a yellow dress with her yellow hair tied into two big pigtails. She also was carrying a staff of some sort.
"Well what do you propose we do?" responded the man known as Chrom.
"I... I don't know," the woman responded as they noticed the person regaining coconsciousness.
"I see you're awake now," Chrom stated with the lady greeting with a, "Hey there"
"There are better places than to take a nap than on the ground you know," Chrom joked extending his hand. "Give me your hand," he told the person and they did so, their hood coming down revealing themselves to be a woman. She had white hair tied into two pigtails like the other lady, expect this woman's reached down to her neck and was shorter than said other woman. She was wearing a long cloak which fitted her whole body. There was also a strange mark on her hand, but nobody paid it any importance.
"You alright?" Chrom asked as he examined the woman.
"Y-yes. Thank you Chrom," the woman responded without knowing how she knew his name, she just did for some reason. It grew awkward for her as her brown eyes locked into contact with Chrom's blue ones.
"Ah, so you know who I am?" Chrom asked, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"No, actually. It's strange... your name, it just... came to me," the woman explained as best as she could.
"Hmm... How curious..." Chrom muttered to himself. "Tell me, what's your name? What brings you here?" he asked with interest.
"My name is... it's... hmm..." the woman tried to remember her name but couldn't come up with anything. In fact, she couldn't remember anything expect Chrom's name.
"...You don't know your own name?" Chrom tried to grasp what the woman was saying with her nodding "yes".
"I'm not sure if... I'm sorry but where am I exactly?" the woman asked unable to remember anything about herself.
"Hey, I've heard of this!" the yellow haired lady perked up suddenly. "It's called amnesia!" she explained in a child like tone.
"It's called a load of Pegasus dung," the armoured man standing behind Chrom and the yellow woman spoke up, alerting the amnesic woman of his presence. "We're to believe you remember Milord's name, but not your own?" he asked with a glare that chilled the white haired woman to the bone.
"B-but it's the truth!" the woman protested, making the armoured man incredibly suspicious.
"What if it IS true Frederick?" Chrom asked revealing the armoured man's name. "We can't just leave her here, alone and confused. What sort of Shepherds would we be then?" he added making Frederick lower his glare a little.
"Just the same Milord, I emphasize caution. 'Twould not do to let a wolf in our flock," Frederick advised.
"Right then, we'll take her back to town and sort this out there," Chrom decided with Frederick accepting the fact that his lord had decided.
"Wait just one moment, do I have a say in this?" the woman asked scared what would happen to her.
"Peace friend, I promise we'll hear all you have to say back in town. Now come," Chrom assured as he started walking back to the nearby town, with his three followers close behind.
"Get up master!" Raika's voice was the first thing he heard. When he realized that he had been unconscious, he leapt onto his feet and checked on his Pokémon's conditions. They were fine except for Amethyst, who lost his jewels and other goodies.
"What happened?" asked the trainer, wondering what had caught him and his friends off guard.
"There was a hole that appeared and sucked us in. When we came to, we woke up here waiting for you to get up," Frostbite explained looking at the new surroundings.
The trainer looked around and examined himself too. His name was Kramer, he was 18, had brown hair, had green eyes, and was wearing black shoes along with black jeans and a white shirt. He tried to get his Pokedex which also had his map, to find that it, along with his bag and his Poke Balls, was missing, and remembering that he left it inside his house.
"Milo, Milotic," "I tasted some of the water in the pond nearby, the water isn't like anything I have ever tasted," Mina came to him with her discoveries, soaking wet up to her tail.
"Then be careful what you drink everyone!" Kramer told his Pokémon who all nodded and back away.
"Gardevoir," "And I tried to detect other Pokémon to find that were none. We must be in a region where there is no Pokémon," Hinagiku told him her findings as well. Her hands were glowing blue which meant there was no Pokémon in the area.
"Fascinating..." Kramer whispered to himself. "Listen everyone, stay by me at all times! Something tells me that some of the people here are not friendly. So be prepared to kill them if you have to!" he ordered, shocking his Pokémon.
"Say, Sable?""But what about your 'no-kill' rule?" Amethyst asked.
"Well unless you see any Pokémon, than that rule is lifted! I have nothing to defend myself with, so if I'm threatened, it's up to you to protect me. I'm counting on all of you." Kramer explained the situation.
"Glai?" "And if you do die?" Frostbite asked.
"Then you are free to go and make a life for yourselves. But that will only happen if I'm careless, so don't worry about for now!" Kramer said closing the discussion.
"Salamence!""Somebody's coming master!" Otachi alerted Kramer, as he watched a villager dressed in old clothes run towards them.
"Camer?" "What should we do?" asked Krakatoa looking ready to burn him alive if he did anything stupid like attack Kramer or his buddies. But he didn't get to do that as the villager had come close in earshot now.
"Hail traveller!" he shouted running up to Kramer. "Are you and your creatures warriors?" he asked desperately.
"No." Kramer responded with the villager's expression growing to a horrified one. "Although my friends here can fight. What's the problem?" he asked, concerned as to what was happening.
"Please help us sir! Brigands are terrorising our town!" he tried to explain as calmly as he could but failed. Kramer looked at the place to see smoke and townsfolk running out with cries of terror.
"I'll see what I can do to help," the teen responded, earning him an extremely pleased look from the commoner.
"Oh thank yo..." but that was a much as he got as Kramer hopped on Otachi who bellowed a massive roar
GGGRRROOOWWWARRR!
The dragon flew towards the town with his Pokémon in pursuit. But Krakatoa was the slowest out of all of them and before he could literally bulldoze towards the town, the inhabitant of said town stopped him.
"Wait!" he called out and he was met with a look from the volcano Pokémon that said, "What do you want?"
"I don't mean to stall you, but what are you?" he asked.
"Camerupt," "Krakatoa the Camerupt," was the word that came out of Krakatoa's mouth. Before the villager could reply, Krakatoa sped towards the town at his fastest speed.
A couple minutes earlier...
Chrom, Frederick, and the two women were walking to the town, with Frederick keeping his eye on the white haired one at all times.
"What will you do with me? Am I to be your prisoner?" she asked wondering if they would throw her in a dirty cell.
"Hah! You'll be free to go once we establish you're no enemy of Ylisse," Chrom explained, calming the woman's nerves and replacing them with confusion.
"Is that where we are? Ylisse?" she asked. Frederick threw an amused grin at her.
"You've never heard of the Halidom?" Frederick asked with his target nodding, resulting in him throwing a fake laugh. "Someone pay this actress, she plays quite the fool!" he said making his accused grow angry at him not believing her. "The furrowed brow is especially convincing..."
"Frederick, please," Chrom silenced the bulky man before he could say anything else. "This land is known as the Haildom of Ylisse. Our ruler, Emmeryn is called the Exalt," Chrom explained.
"I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Chrom, but then, you already knew that," Chrom formally introduced himself. "The delicate one here is my little sister Lissa," he then gestured to the yellow haired lady.
"I am NOT delicate!" Lissa protested and threw a little pout at Chrom's words. "Ignore my brother please, he can be a bit thick sometimes," Lissa explained. "But you're lucky the Shepherds found you, Brigands would have been a rude awakening!" she then said, matter of fact.
"Shepherds? You tend sheep? In full armour?" the white haired lady asked wondering if they actually did tend sheep.
"Heh, it's a dangerous job. Just ask Frederick the Wary here," Chrom mused mentioning Frederick.
"A title I shall wear with pride," Frederick said bowing. "Gods forbid ONE of us keeps an appropriate level of caution," he added. "I have every wish to trust you stranger, but my station mandates otherwise," he explained, not trusting the woman who understood instantly.
"I understand sir. I would do no less myself," she replied with Frederick shooting her a look of slight approval, before returning to his hardened glare.
"My name is Robin," she suddenly remembered her name all of a sudden. "...I just remembered that, how odd. I suppose that's one mystery solved," she hastily explained.
"Robin? Is that foreign? Oh well, we can discuss it later," Chrom said. "We're almost to town. Once we..."
GGGRRROOOWWWARRR!
"What in god's name what that!?" Frederick exclaimed, recovering from the massive roar that shook the ground.
"Chrom look!" Lissa cried out in horror. The town that they were heading to was in ruins. Buildings were on fire and the townsfolk were running out.
"Damn it! The town is ablaze! Those blasted Brigands no doubt..." Chrom growled out loud.
"Frederick! Lissa! Quickly!" Chrom ordered his companions to accompany him to the town.
"What about her?" Frederick reminded him of Robin who was standing looking confused.
"Unless she's on fire as well, it can wait!" Chrom told Frederick who agreed with an, "Aptly put Milord," as he got on an armoured horse which Robin seemed to miss until now.
"Let's go already!" Lissa told the two men and they took off for the burning town.
"But what abou..." Robin called out to no avail as Chrom and the other two were gone. She thought for a bit, and then followed them.
Meanwhile, Kramer and Otachi had landed in the town with the rest of his Pokémon catching up to them.
"Yep, there's definitely no Pokémon here," Kramer thought to himself. Due to her psychic powers, Hinagiku was the only one who heard his thoughts.
"Well well, what do we have here?" came a gruff voice that originated from the nearby alley. The owner revealed himself to be a muscular man with a red line on his chest that went all the way to his leather pants. He also wore a brown woolly jacket with a skull on his head. He was holding a bronze axe in his hand which was covered in blood.
"Say, Sableye," "He looks like a barbarian," Amethyst pointed out.
"Just somebody looking for the people who did this and serve justice," Kramer told the bandit. "But are you the cause of it all? If so, I will kill you!" he then asked.
"Aye, we need to set a sample for you Ylissean types!" the Barbarian explained, clutching his axe.
"Just so you know, I'm not even from this place! I come from a faraway place that would blow your mind," Kramer told his armed opponent who looked shocked at killing a person from another place that was not from Ylisse or Plegia. Plus the added fact that Pokémon were not from anywhere known.
"Hey boys!" the man called behind him. "We got a foreigner here with strange creatures!" he said and more men appeared behind him. Some were Barbarians like him, but some were wearing robes and had swords. A couple more of them had pointed hats along with what appeared to be books.
"You know what this means boys! A foreigner means fancy stuff from his land! GET HIM!" the first Barbarian yelled, running towards Kramer with his axe raised above his head, only to be blasted by a ball of pink energy (Moonblast) at him launching him into a wall where the impact killed him.
"Nice pets you got there!" one of the sword wielders shouted. "They'll make good money!" he foolishly said and got a black ball (Shadow Ball) from Amethyst, for his trouble.
Anyone with common sense would run away as soon as they saw one of their comrades beaten easily. But not these thugs, they just ran at Kramer and his Pokémon with weapons raised.
"Well guys, remember what I told you!" Kramer reminded his Pokémon, who launched attacks at the bandits.
On the other side of town, the bandits' leader was delivering orders to his troops.
"Grab anything shiny and put the rest to the torch!" he commanded and the bandits went off to do their business. That's when he noticed Chrom, Lissa and Frederick arrive.
"Here sheepy sheepy! Come to the slaughter!" he laughed mockingly causing his men to arm themselves for battle. He looked around and grabbed a village maiden who screamed for help before being pulled out of earshot.
"Chrom, we have to stop them!" Lissa cried out in horror as she readied her staff.
"Don't worry," Chrom replied with confidence. "After today, these bandits won't be bothering anybody again," he said pulling out his sacred sword, Falchion, which gleamed in the sunlight.
"Wait!" Robin's voice rang out as she rushed up to them, carrying a yellow book with a lightning bolt on the cover.
"Robin! You followed us! Why?" Chrom asked.
"I...I'm not certain myself," Robin said. Frederick looked at her with suspicion. "But I'm armed and know my way around a fight. If you'll have me," Robin added, quickly making the Great Knight remove his gaze on her and onto a Barbarian, who thought it would be a good idea to attack him while he was distracted. He got skewed by his silver lance for trying.
"Of course, strength in numbers. Just stay close!" Chrom ordered as he started to duel with a sword wielder, while Robin went to work with a book wielder whose book shot out blasts of wind. But Robin's book shot balls of Thunder, which she fired, engaging the wind user in a duel.
On the other side of town, a sword user was roasted alive by a stream of fire (Flamethrower) from Krakatoa after trying stabbing him in the front left thigh.
"What are these... monsters of yours!?" a Barbarian cried in horror as he watched his partner get his head frozen by Frostbite, who launched a beam of ice. (Ice Beam)
"I'm not telling you anything!" Kramer spoke defiantly. However, Karma decided to kick his tail as a sword user shoved him against a wall with his sword at the swallowed throat.
"Now boy," the Myrmidon growled in a deadly tone. "Hand over these creatures and your gold and you won't die,"
"I don't have any gold on me!" Kramer protested, causing a glare from his grabber. "And you can never have these creatures!" he shouted making his attacker raise his sword. Then all of a sudden, he was surrounded by a blue light, (Psychic), was levitated into the air and was thrown head first into a house. The impact killed him instantly.
"Thanks Hinagiku!" Kramer called out to his saviour who flashed him a smile before launching purple leaves at a Mage. (Magical Leaf)
"MILOTIC!" "LOOK OUT!" screamed Mina. Kramer turned around just in time to see a hand axe hit his side making him crouch in pain. The Barbarian who threw it got sent flying by the serpent's tail. (Dragon Tail)
"Mane, Manectric!?" "Are you alright!" Rakaia asked with massive worry for his beloved trainer.
"No," Kramer grunted and tried to get up, but fell back on the ground. "I think he got my side!" He examined his injury and managed to remove the axe, which revealed to have left a large wound in the trainer's rib area. The blood dripping out didn't help either as it was seen through the t-shirt.
"Salamence!" "We're surrounded!" Otachi yelled to his trainer urgently. Sure enough, Bandits formed a circle around the Pokémon with weapons raised.
"Sableye?" "Now what?" asked Amethyst who while defending his trainer, gathered the gold that they had looted.
"If they form a circle around me, we'll be mobbed easily. And if they fight separately, I'll be in danger of these thugs!" Kramer thought to himself, with Hinagiku growing guilty as she failed to protect her trainer.
"We pick a god and pray for some sort of heroes to show up or another crazy miracle," Kramer told his friends as the bandits got ready to charge. Little did he know, Naga literally smiled upon him as he got his wish granted.
"Milord, something is not right," Frederick explained as he rode his horse slowly and carefully. "There are not enough bandits to cause this much destruction," he told Chrom and he was right.
"It looks like half of them have moved to the other side of town for some reason," Robin said, noticing a bandit being swung headfirst into a building.
"Let's go!" Chrom ordered and they rushed to where the bandits were circling... creatures. They didn't know what else to call them; they were like some form of witchcraft.
"What are THEY!?" asked Lissa in complete and utter shock at these new animals. She got a reply from a teenager with the strangest clothing they had ever seen and a massive wound in his side. As if that wasn't enough, there were dead bodies of bandits laying everywhere, but the strangest thing was how they died. Some had been burned alive, some had been electrocuted, some had been frozen solid much to their surprise, and the rest suffered incredibly strange ways, such as being thrown into objects (Psychic), and impaled with what appeared to be rocks. (Power Gem)
"If you help us, I'll tell!" Kramer shouted causing the bandits to look behind them and charge at the Shepherds thinking that they were easier opponents. They were right as they didn't have the powers that the Pokémon had, but that didn't stop them from joining in. Mina fired circles of water (Water Pulse) at some barbarians stunning them allowing Frederick to kill them.
Chrom was being assisted by Frostbite, who was freezing Myrmidon's legs making them easy pickings for Chrom.
Robin on the other hand, was firing bolts of lightning at mages alongside Raika, who was firing his own bursts of lightning. (Thunderbolt). When they had a break, Robin tried to ask him what exactly he was. All she got was a, "Manectric," from him, which she took as his name.
"Thanks buddy! I thought we were dead meat!" Kramer said as Lissa used her heal staff and Hinagiku used psychic energy onto the wound (Heal Pulse). With their combined efforts, Kramer's wound was restored back to normal.
"Now, I think an explanation of your... friends here is in order." Frederick spoke up before Kramer could thank Chrom.
"My name's Kramer. And these fellas here are called Pokémon," Kramer told him. Everyone looked confused.
"Pokémon?" Chrom asked curiously.
"I come from somewhere very far away," Kramer explained. "A place where animals have evolved to become Pokémon."
"Were they the cause of the deaths back there?" Robin asked.
"Hey, it was self defence! You were going to kill them and do god knows only what to them!" Kramer replied defensively.
"Peace friend, we understand," Chrom told him, making him calm down a bit.
"Fine. But who in god's name are you and why did you kill these people?" Kramer asked. The four Shepherds introduced themselves. When they were done, Kramer introduced his Pokémon and gave their nicknames to them.
"Pokémon have different energy sources known as types, that should explain the burned and frozen guys," Kramer told them.
"Ooh! Let me guess!" Lissa perked up all of a sudden. "That one's ice," she directed at Frostbite. "That one's electricity," she gestured at Raika. "That one's fire," she guessed when she came to Krakatoa. "That's water," she pointed at Mina. "That one's... dragon?" she guessed Otachi's type and she was partly correct.
"That one has dark abilities I presume?" Robin guessed directly at Amethyst, who was leaning leisurely against a wall.
"Yes and no," Kramer told her, earning him a confused look from the amnesiac.
"What is that one?" Chrom asked looking at Hinagiku who was keenly scanning around for any more bandits.
"Her types are a bit difficult to explain. I'll tell you later," Kramer said getting him a nod from Chrom. Then it was Frederick's turn to point accusations.
"I trust one of them was responsible for the earthshaking roar earlier?" Robin asked and she got her answer from Otachi, who made a smaller bellow of the roar confirming her theory.
"Now that's settled, why are you here?" he asked looking at the trainer with his usual suspicious demeanour.
"I have no idea really," Kramer said. "I was sucked up by this hole and the next thing I knew, I ended up on the outside of this town and there's a guy asking us to kill some bandits. That's all I know! I'm honest!"
Frederick pondered this information. "Where are you from then?"
"Like I said, a faraway place. I started travelling when I was ten," Kramer responded. Shocked looks appeared on faces.
"Only ten!?" Lissa cried out in disbelief.
"That's absurd. There is no way you could hav..." Frederick started, but Hinagiku cut him off with a glare and a look that said, "Shut up".
"I had my Pokémon with me. They were my main source of defence during my travels," Kramer countered. Frederick took a close look at them.
"...yes of course," he said after a couple of seconds. "I apologise sir, I mean no disrespect, but you must understand my role as bodyguard,"
"Of course sir," Kramer replied bowing. Just than a man who was supposedly the leader of the bandits came rushing by with a hand axe. He was smarter than his mindless drones and had the common sense to run away. But before he could get far, Amethyst disappeared into the shadows and reappeared behind him, and giving him a shadowed punch to the head. (Shadow Sneak with Shadow Punch)
Before he could retaliate, Chrom plunged Falchion into his chest, making him die in agony.
"Well, that's the end of that," Robin said relived that the fighting was over. They then went to rest in the town square with the Pokémon trudging behind.
"Holy wow Robin! You were incredible! Swords, sorcery, and tactics! Is there anything you can't do?" Lissa cheered for their new recruit before turning to Kramer. "And you Kramer! Having Pokémon to fight for you! You must be one of a kind!" she praised.
Chrom added, "Both of you are certainly no hapless victims, that's for sure."
"Indeed. Perhaps both of you would like to give an explanation as to why you're here?" Frederick asked.
"Like I said, I fell through some sort of hole and I ended up here." Kramer told him. "Then this guy ran up to me and said that some guys were destroying their town. I couldn't just sit and do nothing!" He emphasised that last bit. Frederick seemed to accept that and turned to Robin, who shuffled uneasily.
"I understand your scepticism Sir Frederick and I cannot explain why only some of my knowledge has returned to me. But please believe me, I have shared all I know," Robin wanted him desperately to get off her case.
Chrom smiled. "You and Kramer both fought to save Ylissean lives; my heart says that's enough."
"And your mind Milord? Will you not heed its counsel as well?" Frederick reminded Chrom of his other conscious.
"Frederick, the Shepherds could use someone with Robin's knowledge," Chrom expressed his final decision. "We've got brigands and unruly neighbours to deal with, all looking to bloody our soil. Would you really have us lose such an able tactician?" he questioned his number one follower. "Besides, I believe the story, as odd as it might be," Chrom quickly cut Frederick off from whatever he was going to say next.
"Th-thank you Chrom," Robin managed to stutter, relieved.
"So how about it? Will you join us?" he asked holding his hand out.
"I would be honoured," she replied smiling and returning the handshake.
"And what about you Kramer? Would you like to join us?" he turned to the trainer, who was thinking.
"I don't know. My original plan was to travel and hopefully find some explanation as too why I got here. But now that I see that there's no Pokémon here and plus the fact that I don't have Brigands where I come from, that might not be such a good idea."
"Would you like to join us? If so, we will grant you protection and a place to stay," Chrom said.
"You won't regret it! We promise!" Lissa also spoke up.
"I'll let my friends be the judge of that," he replied. The Pokémon huddled together for a whispered conversation. Two minutes later, they were done and told him their decision.
"They've agreed. Sign us up, captain!" he said and shook Chrom's hand. They departed with Kramer and his Pokémon following behind.
As they were just about out, Frederick raised a point of interest.
"Did you notice Milord, that those Brigands spoke with a Plegian accent," he told Chrom, whose eyes narrowed.
"Plegian? What's that?" Robin asked.
"Is that those unruly neighbours you were talking about?" Kramer reflected back to Frederick's previous statement.
"Yes, Plegia is Ylisse's western neighbour," Chrom explained. "They send small bands into our territory hoping to start a war," he also added, filling the Pokémon with rage.
"And it's the poor townsfolk who suffer! Totally innocent and totally helpless," Lissa said upsetting Kramer.
"Its incredible how they can still stand in these dark times. That is something to be awarded for," Kramer spoke with looks of approval as his award.
"They do have us Milord, Shepherds protect the sheep," Frederick reminded him. He then noticed Hinagiku growing angry as the chat continued.
"Do not be swept up in your anger, it will cloud your judgement," Frederick gave some sage advice which Hinagiku took, and calmed down a bit.
"Thanks sir, you have no idea how nasty she gets when she's mad," Kramer thanked the Great Knight who nodded in a way of saying you're welcome.
"Don't worry, I'll get used to all this," Lissa told Frederick. Suddenly, the same villager that ran up to Kramer, ran up to them.
"Please Milord, you must stay the night!" he shouted. "We may be a simple folk of simple means, but we would gladly toast your valor with a feast!" he tried to persuade Chrom who had already made up his mind.
"A most generous offer sir, and no doubt your hospitably would be grand," Frederick spoke for him. "But I'm afraid we must hurry back to Ylisstol," he concluded with a slight smile on his face. Lissa on the other hand was asking for food, so Kramer sent Krakatoa to let her know. He did so by lightly shoving his head against her back making her turn around.
"What!? We're not staying!?" she cried out. "But Frederick! It's nearly dark!" she added pointing to the sunset.
"When night falls, we'll camp. Eat off the land, make our beds of twigs and the like..." Frederick told her.
"Just like we used to do!" Kramer commented, bringing back nostalgic memories of his early days of travelling. Frederick shot him a slight smile.
"Good to see that you are a fellow camper," He acknowledged Kramer who smiled in response to the praise. He then turned to Lissa
"And I believed you mentioned you would be 'getting used to this?' Lissa?" he reminded her of her previous statement. Lissa tried to think of something to counter the Great Knight, but couldn't come up with anything.
"Frederick, sometimes I hate you," was all she said before turning away in a pout.
"You've got quite the stern lieutenant there," Robin said.
"Yeah well, 'stern' is one name for it. I can think of a few others!" Lissa said.
"Like Mr. Grumpy?" Kramer joked earning a laugh from his Pokémon and Lissa and a look from Frederick.
"Frederick only smiles when he's about to bring down the axe," Chrom told Kramer as a matter of fact.
"Duly noted," Robin said, she was sure to remember this.
"Ahem," all of them turned to look at the unamused Frederick. "You do realise I am still present?" he said.
"Oh we realize," Chrom laughed. All the Pokémon looked at him funnily with mixed reactions. Frostbite was looking at him suspiciously, Otachi looked at him with an amused expression, Mina giggled at him, Raika was holding back laughter, Hinagiku rolled her eyes, and Amethyst whispered something to Krakatoa, making him snort in amusement.
"Milord remains amusing as ever, now shall we get going?" Frederick quickly changed the subject making everyone snap back to their long walk ahead of them.
"All right, stop laughing at Mr. Grumble and come on!" Kramer ordered his Pokémon. They followed him along with his four new friends walking beside him. Although Frederick shot him looks every now and then.
"So tell us Kramer, tell us about these Pokémon and the place that you come from," Robin asked Kramer who was more than happy to explain his home to her and the others as they walked.
And that's chapter one done! I would have gotten it up sooner, but I went on vacation so I couldn't.
Please give me feedback because this is my newest story and I want to know how I went.
Review or PM me and I'll answer questions, and I'll see you in chapter 2!
