Lightning Fang
"Urk... Last Pokemon, eh? Well... Here goes nothing. Fighting time, Raissaiga!" Matsumi yelled, hurling the Pokemon into battle.
"Cubone-Bone!" Raissaiga cried.
"Use Headbutt!" Matsumi exclaimed. "Not like it will do anything, you pitiful Pokemon..." He muttered.
Raissaiga ignored the comment, and launched himself forward for the attack.
"Steelix, Iron Tail." The gym leader of Olivine City, Jasmine, all but whispered.
Raissaiga was thrown aside by the crushing impact. He felt the skull on his head creak with damage. "Bone..."
"Raissaiga, use Bonemerang. Oh wait, you don't know that, you wimp! I don't know, use leer or something."
Raissaiga shed a small tear. "So... That's what I am to Matsumi? Just... Just a wimp? Well... Well... GRAH!" Raissaiga yelled in his mind. He charged again, but was grabbed in a wrap attack. "Urk... NO! I WON'T... I WON'T LET YOU WIN! I'M NOT A WIMP! I'M NOT A WIMP!" He yelled, utter distress pouring from his words. He couldn't fight back. In the end, he was just a sad excuse for a Pokemon. That was what he'd always been, after all. Nothing. He hadn't even been strong enough to escape being captured. He had practically ran straight into it, after all.
He remembered the day as he passed out.
"Cubone! Get out of here, now! Hide in the den, I'll be back soon!" His mother had yelled to him, with the same emotions now thickening Raissaiga's tone.
"No! What's happening, Mama?" He had asked in his high-pitched young Pokemon voice. His mother had pushed him into the den, using a quick movement to cover the den with rocks. He had heard the alien noises coming from outside. "Marowak. The Bone Keeper Pokemon. When Marowak evolves from Cubone, it moves on from its mother's death, and becomes far more violent." What? Raissaiga had thought to himself.
A voice, speaking in the language Raissaiga recognized as English. "Go, Victreebel! Use Vine Whip!"
Raissaiga heard the impact through the wall of rock. "Mama? MAMA! NO!"
"Maro... Maro..." He heard his mother panting.
"Now Victreebel! Razor Leaf!"
A torrent of leaves pushed back the rocks, and Raissaiga barely had time to escape. His mother hadn't been so lucky. She was thrown against the walls of the den, and soon covered by rocks. Raissaiga shook his head. "Mama? Mama, get out of there! Mama, what's happened? MAMA! MAMA!" Raissaiga began to weep.
"Urk... I'm not catching that one... Oh well. GO, POKEBALL!"
Raissaiga turned to the trainer, and the last thing he saw was the capsule object.
Now Raissaiga was once again in the strange environment of the Pokeball. It was quite a while of being in the strange, limbo-like state. Finally, he was out once more. Now he was in a strange area, blanketed by trees. "Bone? Cubone-Bone?" Raissaiga tilted his head, confused.
He was blindsided, and suddenly on the ground. He could hardly breathe. Matsumi kicked him again. "Cu-Cubone... Bone!" Raissaiga coughed, spluttering up blood. "Bone..."
"Return, Raissaiga. For the last time."
He was enveloped in the darkness again. He was still grasping for breath. He spent days in the small area, no food or water. He looked around for the first time, desparate for an escape. He looked to the wall, and saw a button. He pressed it, feeble and barely moving. He was released from the Pokeball, but he was nowhere he had expected to be. Matsumi was nowhere to be seen, and Raissaiga was completely alone. He staggered in the forest for what seemed like an eternity, no food, water, or company.
Deep in this trance-like state, he somehow heard a rustling in the bushes at his left. What... What is that? Grh... Maybe... Maybe it'll finish me off... Raissaiga thought to himself.
"Hey? Hey buddy, you are in a FIX. Can you hear me? Hey, I'm talking to you, weird brown thingy! Are you even alive? Come on man, please don't be some kind of ghost. Those things are freaky, man! HELLO!" Raissaiga turned to the voice, and caught sight of something yellow before he passed out.
The next thing he knew, he was sitting in an underground den. He thought at first that he was in his old home in Rock Tunnel, and he nearly exclaimed 'MAMA!' But then he remembered. He looked up at the ceiling. Not the comforting stone of Rock Tunnel, but damp soil.
A yellow creature came to his side. "Hello? Hey, you're awake! We kinda thought you were... You know, kicked the can. We had some Oran berries between us, and they made you a little better, but you didn't move for at least a week. Didn't want to leave you to the Fearow though. You should be glad that you were found by us and not some other people. You'd have just been left out there. But that's not how us Pikachu roll, you know?"
Raissaiga shook his head.
The Pikachu's ears drooped. "Hey, buddy. Cheer up. You know what you need?"
Raissaiga turned to the Pikachu. "What?"
"AH! He speaks! Well, what you need is..."
Two more Pikachu popped up from the ground beside him, and they suddenly struck a pose. The Pikachu in the center had his arms crossed, with his left ear lowered and his right ear was lifted. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes. The Pikachu on the left had his arms pointing to the left, and was mirrored by the Pikachu on the right. "Ka-Chu!" They cried cheerfully.
Raissaiga looked at all of them. The one in the middle's mouth twitched.
"Recognize it?" He whispered.
"Um... No." Raissaiga said softly.
All of them toppled over in disbelief.
"You mean to say... You've never heard of us?"
Raissaiga shook his head.
"But... We're renowned all around Viridian Forest! We're the great siblings, the group known as Triochu!"
Raissaiga thought for a second, then looked back at them and shook his head again.
They sighed, "You ain't from around here, are ya?" The smallest one asked.
Raissaiga shook his head again.
"Hm... Well hey, you won't get very far in Viridian Forest as a loner. Here, I know some people who can get you some connections. Follow me, little dude."
Raissaiga smiled. "That... That might be nice."
Introducing, Raissaiga the Cubone! This is based off of an RP I'm in on another site. It's a prologue for the character. There'll be more to come in the future, just you wait! Maybe after his background is done, I'll transcribe the storyline of the RP for you guys. Enjoy!
