Okay, who want's to bet this is gonna suck? I will warn you right now, I have NEVER written a Pokemon FanFic in my life, so forgive me for screw-ups. There will be some language and mature material in this, but you chose to read it, so whatever! Don't say I didn't warn you! XD

Also, to all you Technicalists out there, I'm not trying to be accurate with recent Pokemon Events! Meaning this 'Fic, in no way, shape, or form, is connected to, or is an extension of the Pokemon Games or Anime.

And Just to be clear and so you don't get confused:

"This" = is the Pokemon talking in a human language (Like Meowth or MewTwo from the Anime) or in some future cases, Pokemon talking to each other.

"This" = is the Pokemon talking in it's own language. (the one humans can't understand)

'This' = is thinking on either side.

"This" = is a human talking.

It was a warm, sunny day in the Kanto Region. At least it was for Amber Town. Now, if someone tried to find Amber Town in the Kanto region map, they wouldn't be able to. The town was far to small to be put on one. But it was there none the less. In fact, Amber Town is were our story takes place...

A man and a woman were approaching the gate to their yard after a long trek back home from the mountains. Their now 4-year-old daughter had just had her birthday a few days ago. As a gift, they had decided to find her a rare Pokemon for her to have as her partner. This little girl was different, however. Nothing seemed to frighten her, except for heights and Houndoom. Understandable since she had fallen a short ways off the cliff on the edge of her yard three years ago, and had gotten attacked by a wild Houndoom the year before that.

As the gate shut with a light click, a cute little blond head poked out the front door, followed by a Wooper,

"Mom, Dad your home!" she shouted in a high, delighted voice. The girl came rushing down the steps, not even bothering to put shoes on. She ran across the wide front yard and nearly tacked her father to the ground with a hug, "I missed you! You were gone forever!" she exclaimed with a smile. Her father laughed, "We had only been gone a week, Kate." he explained. Kate crawled off of her dad and gave her mom a hug too, "Well it felt like forever!"

Her mom giggled, "Do you want to meet your new partner?" she asked with a soft voice. Kate's eyes brightened and a huge smile spread across her face, "Yeah!"

Her mother reached to her belt and removed an Ultra Ball, "Here," she cooed, handing Kate the Ball, "Throw it and see who comes out."

Kate turned to the open yard and threw. The Ultra Ball bounced off the small Oak tree and released the Pokemon inside.

But were was it? Kate looked around the yard but couldn't find her new Pokemon. The grass in the yard was long, but even Wooper couldn't hide in it with out being seen. Kate was young, but she knew for a fact that no Pokemon was that small.

'Maybe it's in the tree?' she thought. She rushed through the grass and stopped a few feet short of the tree's shadow and looked into the branches. Nothing. She turned around sulked back to her mom, "I can't find it." she pouted. Her parents exchanged a confused and worried look.

"It's to big not to notice, Kate." her father told her. "It's not that easy to miss, hun," Her mother assured, "It's not like it can just disappear." she finished in a hushed tone. Kate was worried about her new Pokemon, and she hadn't even met it yet. She didn't want it to disappear.

Watching from behind the tree, hidden in it's shadow, a glaring pair of pale red eyes watched the family. But mostly the little girl,

'Perfect. I told myself I'd never get caught and look what happened!' it thought with a steaming irritation. 'Yet another perfect example of why I try very hard not to fall asleep!' it's pointed ears lay flat, and the spiky fur on its neck and back were bristling. Needles to say it was less than pleased,

'And I didn't even put up a fight! How pathetic is that?!' the Pokemon let a small growl emit from it's throat. The growl had caught the girl's attention for a split-second before she walked over to the tree's shadow and sat down in the grass in front of it, accompanied by the Wooper.

Her parents hadn't heard the growl, fortunately. They looked at their disappointed daughter and sighed, walking back into the house. Kate just sat there staring into the dark gap in front of her. She knew something was in there. In the shadow. But how could she not see it? The shadow wasn't that dark, so she should have been able to. Wooper just gave her a highly confused look and flopped on his back with boredom.

Kate and Wooper sat there for a few minutes, then hours. The sun was setting over the mountains and it was getting dark. And during that time the Pokemon just stood there. He had come out from behind the tree an hour ago, when he knew it was dark enough. Now he was just leaning on the trunk with a bored expression on his face. And being what he was, he wasn't to fond of boredom. Little did the girl know, she was looking right at him. It was getting kind of annoying actually.

'How long can this kid stare at something?! I've been standing here for an hour and she hasn't moved!' speaking of which, his legs were starting to hurt. But he still stood there waiting for the girl to give up. But she didn't...Until a firefly floated past her. She looked at the little glowing bug and smiled. She got up and started to chase it, startling the formerly sleeping Wooper awake. A small, sly, triumphant grin spread across the Pokemon's face, 'Guess I won.' he thought.

Kate was so busy with the firefly, she didn't bother to watch were she was going. She ended up crashing right into the Pokemon hiding in the dark and falling to the ground. She shook her head and stood up, brushing the bits of grass and dirt off her frilly white dress.

"Can't you watch were your going?!" he shouted, but all the girl heard was a loud growl. Wooper's jaw dropped at the voice. Kate looked up at the sound and the first thing she saw was the faintly glowing red eyes glaring at her. She gasped and took a few steps back, then smiled, "I knew you were in there!" she exclaimed happily. The Pokemon kept glaring at her, 'Only because you heard me the first time!' he thought.

The Wooper walked right up and looked him in the eyes. And what he saw scared him. Wooper knew of only one Pokemon that had eyes like that. He instantly ran back into the house via a doggy-door. He jumped onto the back of the couch and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You got her a whatnow?!"

Kate's father came out of the kitchen drying his hands off with a cloth, "She found it?" he asked with a smile. "Like heck she found it, Paul! She ran right into the guy!" Kate's mother rushed out of the hallway, "She did what!?" she demanded, worried. Wooper turned to her, "She was chasing some random firefly and ran into him." he explained in a calm voice.

Paul's eyes widened, "It's a "him" ?" he asked. Wooper glared at him, "HE is the worst partner you could have gotten her! Out of all the Pokemon out there, you got THAT one!?"

...::~::...

Kate stood there staring at the red eyes. They didn't seem to nice, but maybe that's because they were glaring at her. Still. Kate rocked back on her heels, not knowing what to say, "Umm... I'm sorry I ran into you." she apologized nervously. The eyes still glared. She dropped her gaze from his. He was intimidating, she'd give him that much. He was also way bigger than her by about a whole foot. She looked over her shoulder at her parents through the big window in the front of her house. They were talking with Wooper, who didn't seem to happy for some reason. She wished she could understand Pokemon, but that would mean a shot and she didn't like shots. She looked back to where the Pokemon was, but the eyes were gone. She gasped and ran around to the other side of the tree. She ran into him again.

Getting up off the ground she frowned up at him, "Okay, this is crazy! You need, like, a few trillion glow sticks on you, 'cause the only part of you I can see is your eyes and I'm getting tired of falling on the ground, and I'm pretty sure you don't like it when I run into you!" she shouted. The eyes had stopped glaring. In fact they had a wide, surprised look to them.

'Holy crap, kid.' he thought in shock. Kate brushed off her dress once more and started walking to the front door, picking up the forgotten Ultra Ball on the way. She tried to reach the door knob, but she was to short. She looked over her shoulder to the Pokemon with a pleading look, "Mind giving me a hand?" she asked. The Pokemon rolled his eyes and sighed, walking out of the shadow to help her with the door. Now that he wasn't covered by darkness, and the full moon was shining bright, she could finally see what he was. And she almost screamed.

...::~::...

"Wooper what are you talking about?" asked Paul. His Pokemon was still glaring at him, "You know what I'm talking about! Do you even realize what you got her for a partner!?" Paul nodded, "Yeah, we got her a Marill." he answered. Wooper stood there with his jaw nearly falling off it's hinges, "No you didn't. You caught something else instead!" Kate's mother, Martha, suddenly got a scared look in her eyes, "What did we get her?" she asked, afraid of the answer.

Wooper really wished he didn't have to tell her, "You got her a-"

Kate suddenly burst through the door, "Mom, Dad, you guys are the best parents EVER!" she shouted, vibrating with excitement and hugging them both. Martha and Paul looked to the open door and were horrified at what they had caught by accident.
