Mysterious Disasters.

Chapter 1: Injured, cold and alone.

Snow fell heavily on top of Mount Coronet. An agile quadruped Pokémon darted between the jagged rocks as snow crunched below his feet. The Pokémon had beautiful snow white fur with dark blue on his face and pads, a curved blade like horn on the side of his head, a bladed tail resembling a scythe and deep, crimson eyes.

As he ran through the chasm something darted out of the shadows and slashed him across the face with large claws which stopped him in his tracks.

He growled as he scanned the stone walls seeing nothing but shadow, another Pokémon jumped out of the shadows and kicked him in the stomach and retreated to the shadows. "Grrrr! Weavile." The Absol grumbled as he then whipped his head back. "Razor Wind!" He then slashed the air, sending a curved projectile at the wall. Before the attack collided three Weavile jumped out of the darkness and landed on their feet.

"Heeheehee!" They cackled as they scratched their claws together, making an irritating sound.

"Grrrr! Slash!" The Absol exclaimed as he lowered his blade and rushed towards the three. A Weavile raised their claws and blocked Absol's Slash attack but then firmly gripped the Disaster Pokémon's horn and would not let go.

Out of the corner of their eye the Absol saw another Weavile sprinting towards him on all fours, ready to strike. "Detect!" Absol yelled as it felt like time slowed down for him, He jolted his head to the side and broke out of the first Weavile's grip and then dashed backwards right before the second Weavile hits him.

It felt as time had now reset as Absol was panting heavily. "That was clo-!" He said before being sucker punched in the flank. He was send flying again onto the ground as he gasped for air. "Damn, need to remember Weavile hunt in packs."

"Well, Well Well Hee hee." He heard a voice say. The Absol looked up and saw a Weavile bigger than the rest with his claws behind his back and a devilish grin on his face. "Looks like we've finally cornered you. You have been stealing our food and territory for far too long, now it's time for you to pay." The Pack leader said in a sinister tone.

"Huff Puff… You stole my territory from me first, I was reclaiming my own property!" Absol spat.

"Tch, it ain't yours now." The pack leader replied as he then told his pack. "Kill him."

There were about ten Weavile surrounding the Absol. The Disaster Pokémon tried to defend himself the best he could but was outnumbered. A Weavile cut deep into his left shoulder with Metal Claw and blood starting trickling down his leg. The Weavile Pack kept ganging up on the Absol relentlessly and kept cutting into him with their razor sharp claws. He had all sorts of cuts on his body and blood trickled down from his head from a Weavile's Slash attack.

Absol saw a small opening in the group of Weavile and took it as an opportunity. Using the little strength Absol had left he slashed at the crowd and they Weavile jumped back to avoid his feeble attempts to fight back, leaving a small opening.

Absol then ran through the gap and away from the horde. Every step he took pain shot up through his left leg where it had been slashed, his glossy white fur now coloured scarlet red from blood. Blood trickled down the side of his face too and his fur was covered in dirt, small cuts and a few patches of blood.

As he was trying to run away Weavile sprinted after him. Shooting Ice Shards at him. He darted along the cliffsides, digging his claws into the stone so he didn't slip off. At some point Absol had hit a dead end. He looked over the Cliffside and there was a pretty steep drop with no alternative route.

He saw behind him the Weavile Pack with the Leader standing before him, grinning wickedly. Absol tried to see if there were any safe platforms to jump to but they were all too steep and dangerous.

"It's useless." Before he could react the Pack Leader slashed into his side then kicked him in the stomach which then send him over the edge.

Absol couldn't remember what happened afterwards. Everything went blurry as he laid on the ground bleeding heavily. Soon he regained consciousness. He looked around and couldn't see the Weavile Pack anywhere, Thank Arceus they finally decided to leave him alone. He looked up and saw the cliff from where he fell.

"I must be around the base of the mountain. But my cave is on the top of the mountain. Will I be able to climb back up?" Absol asked himself as he tried to stand up but instantly collapsed as pain shot through his entire body. "OW!" Absol howled in pain as he sharply sucked air through his teeth. "I haven't been in this much pain since… I need to get moving."

He tried getting on his feet once more and managed to stay up without toppling over, even though he was in immense pain. His entire left leg coated in blood. Absol limped across the snow and eventually came across some trees, he didn't go down the mountain that often so he didn't see trees that much but they looked pretty with snow on the leaves.

Absol kept limping through the trees leaving a small trail of blood from his wounds. "Once I make it past these trees, I'm sure I will find a place to climb up…" His vision was going blurry a bit and he started feeling light headed.

He continued to limp through the trees and bushes into a small clearing in the trees when he heard a voice to his left. "W-what's that?" They asked. He instinctively swung his head around and saw two figures standing and facing him a few metres away. His vision was too blurry to see their faces but saw their figures, one stood on two legs while the other stood quadruped and was coloured black, blue and yellow.

"An Absol? H-hey your hurt!" The taller figure called out to him, the voice sounded feminine.

He knew what the voice belonged to, a human. Absol was in no shape to battle. He had to get away. He turned and started to run in the other direction.

"Hey wait! Stop!" The Human shouted as she and the other figure ran after him.

Running was extremely painful with each step shooting arrows of pain through his leg. Blood kept running down his leg as he dashed through the trees, he could only run for so long before he then collapsed face first on the ground. His vision went even blurrier and sounds were muffled. He felt light headed as he laid on his side as he heard the muffled shouts of the human. That was the last thing he remembered before everything went dark.

…

…

…

…

…

Everything around Absol was dark. He couldn't see through the darkness and the air felt thin. He shifted uncomfortably on the spot with Paranoia… He could feel a presence, he spun around and saw the figure of a human. They stood there, unmoving. They were chanting ominously.

You are mine…

That was what they were chanting… They didn't stop... The words rang in Absol head…. He tried to run but the human figure followed him... He tried fighting back with Slash and Bite but his attacks just fazed through the creature. He kept trying to run but chains latched onto him pulling him violently back to the monster giving chase... It was sadistic, heartless, unforgiving. Constricting him, binding him, torturing him… His screams ringing out!

Absol then woke up with a jolt. He was sweating and was panting heavily. His eyes hurt from his bright surroundings. The air smelled of chemicals and bright lights shone down on him. It just now occurred to Absol that he was in a small room with cream coloured walls and white floor tiles. Absol was on top of a soft bed with machines around it all making weird beeping noises.

Then a large, pink, squishy Pokémon with an egg attached to its stomach walked into the room holding a clipboard and muttering something under their breath.

When she noticed Absol was awake she said. "Oh my! You're awake! Let me fetch Nurse Joy." She then ran out of the room.

"Nurse?" Absol asked himself. Absol then remembered what happened and saw his left foreleg that had been slashed which was now completely covered by bandages. He checked the rest of his body which had bandages and gauze covering up his wounds inclucding the large cut on his head.

"I must be in a hospital. This is bad. If I am in a human building that can only mean one thing." Absol said to himself. "This is bad… I have to find a way out." He tried to stand up but then collapsed back down onto the bed.

"Aargh!" He exclaimed. "My leg still is in pain. It hasn't healed quite yet, and I haven't eaten in days." He pouted.

So the Absol just sat in silence, pondering his fate and where exactly he was when the door to the room opened again and the Chansey returned, this time with a woman with bright pink hair and in neat white and pink clothes and a young girl with black hair and blue eyes. She was a white beanie hat, a white zipper vest with a blue undershirt, a black scarf coiled around her neck, she also wore a blue skirt with black leggings and a pair of sporty light blue and white trainers, she also carried a black side bag with red, blue and yellow patterns on it. With the girl was a large feline Pokémon with black and blue patterns, glimmering yellow eyes and a star shape on the end of its tail, Absol recognises them as a Luxray.

"So he's awake. That was a real nasty state you found him in miss Vivian." Nurse Joy told the girl, who was apparently named Vivian.

"Yes. We were walking to Mount Coronet and found him in the woods like that." Vivian replied.

"Strange, Absol almost never come down from the mountains unless they intend to warn humans of a disaster. But I examined his wounds which I identified as Weavile claw marks. He has bruises and cuts all around his body. Weavile normally attack in packs so I assume that's what happened." Nurse Joy told her.

She could predict all that just by my wounds? Absol thought to himself.

"He sustained quite a lot of damage from whatever happened. It will take a matter of time to heal. You did bring him in two days ago but he will still need time to rest." Nurse Joy informed Vivian. "I assume you still have the Pokeball you used to transport him here?"

"Yes Nurse Joy, I have it right here." Vivian replied as she pulled out a snow white ball with a bold red band around the center. Absol recognised the device as one of those balls humans use to trap Pokémon, it was a different design from the typical red, white and black but Absol has seen other varieties before; and has had other varieties of Pokeballs thrown at him by trainers.

But wait, she used that Pokeball to transport me here? That means… Absol thought to himself, a low growl in the back of his throat which caught the attention of the Luxray sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Good. I shall leave you alone for a few minutes to observe your Absol." Nurse Joy said as she and Chansey left the room.

Vivian turned towards Absol when Nurse Joy left, immediately he scowled at her for imprisoning him.

"Now, now. Don't be like that." She said as she knelt in front of the bed where he lay. "Nurse Joy told me you were attacked by a pack of bad Pokémon and forced down Mt Coronet right? I'm really sorry."

"Don't play nice with me human." Absol muttered underneath his breath.

"I can tell by your expression you also didn't like hearing me catching you with this right?" She asked as she held up the white Pokeball. The Disaster Pokémon felt so angry he wanted to break it. "Well I saved you,"

"I was fine…" Absol muttered again.

"I was thinking you wanted to come along with me and my friends. We are traveling around the regions and are always welcoming new members to the team right Jasper?" She asked as she turned to her Luxray.

"Right!" The Luxray said in an enthusiastic voice.

"So will you join us?" Vivian then asked turning back to Absol.

Instead of answering her question, Absol turned away from her and pondered her question. Join her? Would I really? I don't trust her in the slightest. She could have done anything to me while I was unconscious. Grrrr… I don't trust humans… Not after…

"You're supposed to be released from the Pokecenter tomorrow so I'll let you think about ok?" She then asked him. Absol just turned to her, nodded solemnly and looked away again. "Huh, not much of a talker, that's fine." She then pulled out a small device from her bag and pointed it at Absol.

He growled defensively as she pointed the strange little device at him. "It's alright it's just a Pokedex. I want to see a few more details about you." Vivian reassured him.

A voice then came from the Pokedex that said. "Absol, the Disaster Pokémon. Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by disaster such as an earthquake or tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the Disaster Pokémon. Absol have the ability to foretell the coming of natural disasters. It lives in a harsh, rugged mountain environment. This Pokémon rarely ventures down from the mountains."

Absol was surprised that a small gadget was filled with that kind of information. "Dex number: #359. Gender: Male. Nature: Quiet. Moves: Detect, Slash, Swords Dance and Ice Beam." The Pokedex listed off.

"Ice Beam?" Vivian questioned as she looked up from the Pokedex to look at Absol. "Absol can't normally learn Ice Beam so I guess that makes you special." She said as she patted the Absol's head. A slight growl escaping his throat.

"How you learned it though is another mystery I guess." Vivian said to him. "Wait a second. Mystery… That's it! That's what I'll nickname you!" Vivian exclaimed excitedly.

You have got to be kidding me? Absol internally face pawed. Mystery? That's the nickname I get stuck with? Well I guess it isn't too bad… But that's pretty uncreative but it's not like I have a say in the matter.

Absol then nodded again. Then all of a sudden Vivian hugged him around the scruff of his neck. Mystery was surprised by this and almost instinctively used Bite on her but did his best to restrain himself.

"Then it's official!" Vivian exclaimed excitedly.

"Welcome to the team Mystery!" Jasper the Luxray said eagerly.

"Shut it." Mystery snapped back.

"Well we need to go now but we will be back tomorrow ok Mystery?" Vivian said as she got up off the floor. "See you soon ok? Come on now Jasper."

"Goodbye then." Jasper said as he followed his trainer out of the room.

"Sigh… Arceus… What have I gotten myself into?" Mystery asked himself as he curled up on the soft bed and stared out of the window. "I don't trust her one bit…"
