This story is a rather old idea I had and tried to write on both Facebook and Devientart but didn't have time to finish it so I shall rewrite the story here. To me this feels the Ruby and Sapphire Manga just because of how these two characters are.
Summary: Mary is a wild girl with the unique ability to read the thoughts of Pokemon as well as heal them. In Kanto, this ability doesn't have a name but some refer to it as Viridian Blessed. In Hoenn though this same ability is called Petalburg Blessed. Mary can also understand Pokespeak since she was raised by Mightyena. She is known as the Mightyena child.
Michael is a boy from an abusive home. Legally blind and a run away, Michael travels region to region aiming to be a top coordinator.
These two don't know it yet but their fates are intertwined. Destiny will bring these two very different trainers together to stop an imposing threat. As well as discover a secret that neither of them knew about.
Long summary I know but worth it I hope you enjoy this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
(Author's POV)
Deep in the Petalburg Woods, a couple in their late twenties hike through the forest carrying their newborn daughter. The couple both had rich black hair that was as dark as ebony. The baby also had black hair as well as chocolate brown eyes like her parents.
It was late yet the couple kept trekking deeper and deeper into the woods. One would think they would want to take their new baby girl home and show her off to their friends. But these two had other things on their mind.
"Darling, I do think this is far enough." The man told his wife as he looked around the woods. "If we dump the kid here no one would be able to find her. No one would hear her except for some hungry pokemon."
"I suppose you're right dear." The woman said then sighed as she looked down with disgust and disappointment at the child she held. "To think we would be unlucky enough to end up with two disgraces. Our son is blind and our daughter is a freak of nature."
"I know it is disheartening." The man said as he draped his arm around his wife. "And you were so looking forward to having a little girl. To think one that looks so perfect on the outside could be such a freak on the inside."
"We truly should have done this with the first one as well. Though back then there was no technology to tell a person if their child was blind or not."
"Hey the boy's blindness came in handy this time. He has no idea that we were going to bring him a sibling. Now he shall never know he had a sister."
The couple the put the child down next to an herb known as Rosemary. With the sudden change of environment, the baby began to stir and cried rather loudly. Her tiny arms reaching, little legs kicking. She wanted to be back in her parent's arms, she didn't like how cold ground was. But the couple did nothing to comfort the child.
"Keep it up kid" The man said with a cruel chuckle. "If you cry loud enough maybe just maybe you'll attract the attention of some hungry Mightyena."
"Come dear let us go." The woman said as she took his arm in hers. "Our problem will be out of our hair soon enough."
"Yeah you're right. Have to return to our other disappointment." The man said as he and his wife trekked back to the road, with the cries of their baby echoing in the background.
"Yes and we must start packing we will be moving to Johto very soon after all."
"Yeah the sooner the better. Don't need people questioning why we don't have a new baby in the house."
"Exactly. Don't need our plan to be ruined by nosey neighbors." The woman said as they finally reached their car. The couple then drive off without a care as to what could be happening to their infant daughter.
(Adolph's POV)
What is that sound? I think to myself as my ears twitch. My wife, Eyolf's ears twitch as well, meaning I am not hearing things.
"Adolph is that baby's cries I hear?" My wife then asks, concern all over her face. I understood her concern all too well. We currently had an egg almost ready to hatch back at our den. So the thought that a little hatchling was separated and crying for its parents, well our hearts couldn't take it.
"I think it is." I tell my wife. "Some hatchling must have gotten separated from its family."
"If that's the case we have to go help before something else gets to that hatchling." Eyolf says.
"I agree let's go dear." I say. And we both take off running.
Eyolf was right we had to get there before a Vigoroth or some other aggressive pokemon did. Mightyena are too proud to try and hunt one that cannot defend itself. Plus, there is no fun in a hunt if the prey doesn't try to fight back at least a little.
My wife and I were out here to gather food for the pups, as head Alpha of my pack it was my duty to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone. Though Eyolf could have handled the task herself…. I was selfish and did not want to risk anything happening to my wife, especially with our egg almost ready to hatch.
As we ran the crying became louder whatever pokemon this was it sure had powerful lungs. Perhaps it was a Whismur? Though what would one be doing in our woods? They tended to live closer caves.
Finally, we reached the location of where the crying was coming from. Though what we found was not a baby pokemon. It was a human baby. Wrapped in a bundle of pink blankets screaming its little lungs out. I carefully approached the baby and sniffed her.
The child thankfully stopped screaming as I stood over her, now that I was closer I was positive this was a girl. The baby then opened her eyes to reveal adorable and beautiful brown eyes. On her head, she was sprouting black hair as dark as the night sky. Eyolf came closer as well and frowned in concern for the infant. Judging by her size and smell she was most definitely a newborn. She had that new baby smell.
"Oh no." My wife said as she looked down at the baby with pity as the moonlight shone on her.
"Dear she may have just been separated from her family" I try to reassure my wife but I had doubts as well. This was not the first time a baby has been found in our woods. Petalburg Woods was a popular place to find abandoned babies. "You stay with the baby. I'll go find her parents"
I take off running, following the scent I had picked up from the child's blankets. Though as I neared closer to the road my worries grew. When I reached the road I saw no sign of any humans, and the trail I had been following had gone cold. Her parents sent was replaced with the smell of gasoline. They truly had meant to leave the child behind.
I turned back and walked back to where my wife was with the baby. Anger and hate were the emotions that came to mind as I thought about how cruel humans were. Mightyena get a bad reputation for being hostile but we and other dark types were not evil. It was humans. Humans pollute nature, they poach our kind to make a profit and now they abandon their own flesh and blood in harsh woods to die.
While I know not all humans are like that, right now to me there were more bad humans than there were good ones.
As I neared Eyolf my anger and hate somewhat dissipated. I then came upon the most adorable sight. My wife lying next to the baby as she nuzzled the poor little thing. The baby was making happy giggling sounds as she did this and cuddling my wife. Seeing this actually made me crack a small smile.
"Any luck dear?" Eyolf asked me as she heard me approach. This got me angry all over again and I just plop down next to my wife and the baby.
"They're gone. They left the baby here and took off in a vehicle." I growl out though I try to keep my anger in check so I do not scare the baby.
"I thought that would be the case but I wanted to hope…" Eyolf starts then sighs and give the child a lick. Earning my wife, a cute baby giggle. I crack another smile at this and nuzzle the baby myself.
"So did I dear, so did I." I tell her.
"Well what do we do? We can't leave the baby here she'll die." Eyolf said in concern as she casted a glance at the baby.
"I know we should take her back to the humans Eyolf but… After what her own parents did to her. I am not so trusting of them" I tell Eyolf.
"So what are you suggesting?"
"I am suggesting we take her in. Raise her as our own."
"But the pack? Will they accept her?"
"Honey I am the pack leader. They will accept our new daughter whether they want to or not." I tell Eyolf confidently.
"Well, if she is coming with us, she needs a name." Eyolf says as she looks around and sees the rosemary we had found the child next to. "How about Rose?"
The baby then whines at the suggestion, and I chuckle.
"Guess she doesn't like that name dear" I tell her still chuckling.
"Fine then you pick the name" She tells me sounding rather annoyed.
"Uh well we did find her near the Rosemary, so if she doesn't like Rose… how about Mary?" I suggest and as soon as I say the name the baby makes happy giggling sounds.
"Mary it is then, expert baby name picker" Eyolf then teasingly says. "Let's head home. She probably needs food"
Eyolf then pick Mary up by her blankets and we both head back to our den where the pack is waiting. Guess someone else would have to get food for the pups.
