Tale Of Hero: No Regular Trainer, A Pokémon FanFic. Chapter 1, Explanation
Ahhhhhh that's the stoof. Oh yes. It feels nice to stop doing Demoknight for a bit. As for this, if you liked Demoknight and know enough about pokemon, you should like this. This will include Pokemon from the new region, considering I have been doing some research. Otherwise, it is some pretty neat stuff.
This FanFic takes place in region 4, or Sinnoh. I plan that in the future I will try to collaborate with some other person who has a moderately well-known FanFic. Also, if you have been reading Demoknight, in chapter 3 you heard about a BIG surprise. Truth is, I will not tell you what it is, what game it uses, or what it will be about. All that I will tell you is it will premier when Demoknight and No Regular Trainer, and a future fic about Minecraft will all have 7 chapters done. Once Demoknight has 5 chapters, this has 3, then I will start for the Minecraft fanfic. I am thinking of a title, but I already have a basis plotline. Anyone who likes the gameplay of Minecraft will generally like that fanfic. Other than that I have nothing to discuss. If you want to look for updates just look at my homepage. Btw, this fic starts off of what you would consider T rated. Things get… Crazy… Later. I'll just put it that way. I'm not going to spoil it. All I say is no Lemons… until chapter 20 (Lol).
Let us see here… What else is important. Oh right! I will also notify whenever I intend on someone else's work. Don't expect me just to wander around on here and then take someone's characters from their story and put them into mine. If I did want to do that, I would ask permission. I do plan to collab in the future.
Eventually after three chapters of this are out I start a new fic. Be sure to check in!

"Are you sure about this?" telepathized Luke.
"Yes! I am sure! I don't care if it kills me, just do so!" I yelled.
"Fine then," he telepathized back. Oh wait. I should have introduced myself before I got to the important part. My name is Jack Argonish. I am sadly homeless but I travel around the Sinnoh region looking for work. I plan to earn enough money to start up as a pokemon trainer. I don't know how I was abandoned, I just woke up in a home that wasn't my parents' home. I have had a friend as long as I can remember and his name is Luke. He is a Lucario, a very strong pokemon. He isn't well trained, but he knows how to fend for himself, somewhat. We've been friends for a very, VERY long time. I am now 18 years old, and I don't have anything to do but work in my spare time, so I decided that I would stop working once I have enough money to start being a pokemon trainer. I was generally really smart. I was fairly tall, had tan skin, and looked like many average humans. However my eyes are a fierce lime green, along with my hair somehow being tinted green.
As for what is happening right now, it turns out Luke slipped to me that there is a way that I can talk to pokemon. He warned me that the process to do so is ridiculously painful. I had no idea what he was going to do, but he sounded like he knew what he was doing. He said he could, "alter," my DNA. I think, there was much more I didn't understand. He said that I would become something that didn't make sense to me. He said I would have 100% Human DNA and 100% Lucario DNA. How on earth does that make sense.
"Alright Jack. This is going to hurt, REALLY badly. Prepare yourself," he warned.
"I don't care just do so-!" I yelled in agony. Okay I now see what he was saying. His hand had literally just entered my chest. ENTERED. I could see his eyes turn a blue color. I had never seen his eyes turn that color. I've seen his eyes go red, green, gold, silver, black, white, purple, and just about every other color, but not blue. It always confused me, and now it does so more. I suddenly started to feel… not like myself. I suddenly felt my soul disappear into my body. I suddenly was in a blank space, all black around me, nothing else. I saw Luke with a body glowing furiously as he was moving his arms about the land. I saw him shaping a body. It took the form of a Lucario. He started muttering something, grabbed me, grabbed the body and put the two together. It was so painful and unusual that I just had to yell out as hard as I could. I felt my body taking on and accepting a second body. My DNA tried to reject it, but Luke forced the bodies to join. I started to yell harder as the pain increased over the time that the bodies were being morphed. All of a sudden, the bodies separated, but the Lucario body was still in me. Somehow. I started to leave the room when I saw a sleeping Lucario body. I felt my consciousness regain and the immense amount of pain I had in the real world. My head felt like it was on fire and my body was sweating profusely.
Luke said (Not through telepathy!), "By Arceus's name it worked."
"What just- what just happened…?" I stuttered.
"You will see. Just concentrate your soul, and you will see your other self," he answered. I couldn't believe I was actually talking to a pokemon, and understanding what he said. It was amazing.
"What… How does that make sense… how do I have an 'other self'?" I asked.
"Just shut up and concentrate!" he grunted. He was like me, as he was impatient, wise, had a bad attitude, and smart. I did so and then I saw a black room. There was a Lucario and his eyes opened. He nodded and then I nodded. I started to feel something weird. Spikes started jutting out from both of my hands. I felt my heels raise from my feet, making a tall leg. I felt cartilage forming out of my head and raising to make long ears. I started to see my skin turn blue and black. A spike started to jut out of my chest. Soon enough my skin started to ruffle and started becoming furry. It started to form over into a pale fur coat over my chest. I felt my skin by my waist start to grow out and make a shell. It covered the part that would be considered, my butt, and everywhere around that. I felt my hair becoming tied into four raindrop-like strands eventually pairing into groups of two. I then felt a bump in my tailbone. It started to extend long enough until it could be considered a tail and it turned blue and formed a tip. I then felt my nose start to grow until it was jutting out as far as my ears. It was true. I was now a Lucario. But I still knew English.
"Wait, I can still speak English. Does that mean… Humans can overhear me?" I exclaimed.
"To speak to me you should be able to telepathize. If someone says hi to you just grunt and say either luc, luke, lucar, car, cario, or lucario," he said.
"How do I turn back?" I asked.
"Same way you became a Lucario in the first place," he said. I knew what he meant. I calmed my soul. I saw the black room again and this time my own body was in place of the Lucario. It woke up, nodded, and I nodded back. Soon enough the same transformation had begun, only backwards. Soon enough I was back to my two legged posture with regular hair, and not a tail to be jutting out of my tailbone. The transformation had given me a headache. Now that this was done, I now had my next goal. I had enough money for 2 pokeballs. One for Luke, and another for an upcoming friend. Let's do this.
…..
I headed to the pokemart and had picked up to pokeballs. I also had enough for a town map. That would help, but I knew my way around Jubilife well enough. I decided to go to my work to speak with my boss on my future endeavor.
As for Luke, I did put him in one of the pokeballs. It somehow had turned blue, but not like a great ball. It was blue, yet it looked like a regular pokeball. Well, anyways, he didn't like to be contained in it. He wanted to stay out in the regular. Whenever someone came by I told them our history, but excluded the transformation. Arceus knows what the heck would happen if that slipped out. I was now at my work, which was a small building called, Silph Co. It was a company originally founded in the Kanto region. They work on all sorts of odd gadgets. It was said they invented the master ball, but I have no track of that. All I knew was the history of Silph Co., its leader, and what they do. I work as a professor's assistant. His name was Professor Hickory. (Why the heck are all these professors named after trees?) He worked on gadgets. He said he was doing research that would take years, but he mentioned pokemon translators. Huh. That would help. After all then it would sound regular when I talked English as a Lucario. Of course, I would have to know whether someone is wearing it or not. I walked into Hickory's office.
"Hello Professor," I greeted.
"Ah Jack! It is good to see you. Along with Luke I assume. What do you want to see me for?" he asked.
"Well, remember how I mentioned becoming a trainer?" I asked.
"Yes. I do remember that," he answered.
"Well, I decided I am going to do so, starting out with Luke as my first pokemon," I replied.
"So, I guess that you will not be working here anymore? Well, it was good working with you. I hope I gave you ample providence on getting a good life started boy," he ended. It was nice to know that he wouldn't miss me too much. I had to go up to our bosses office. His name was also Jack. However he didn't look the nearest like me. He was red headed, pale skinned, short, and brown eyed. I stepped into his office.
"Ah hello Jack, my infamous counterpart," he greeted. I had a reputation for being somewhat rebellious. However, Jack still liked me. He thought it was ironic how we were almost exactly opposite in every way possible, yet our names were the same.
"Hello. So, I remember talking to you about being a trainer," I started.
"So, you decided to get yourself a pokeball? Luke's your first one I assume," he guessed.
"Yep. That is right. We're gonna be strong, I can tell," I replied.
"Yes. We will need to train to get a head start," he telepathized. I forgot we were with someone else, so I almost spoke to him in pokemon toung.
I telepathized, "Yes we should start at route 2. That will have some easier pokemon to fight than the ones towards Oreburgh."
"Are you okay there?" he asked.
"Oh yes. Remember that Luke and I have a strong enough bond to telepathize," I replied.
"Yes, now I remember. Man that would be awesome, being able to talk to pokemon, and everything else like that. I can't wait till these come out, even if it will be years of work," he answered. "Well I hope you do great." I then left out and he left me with an extra 1000 poke. That would help, in case I ever needed to get something else from the mart. We then got on the road that would bring us to route 202. It was a twisty route, but not a very large one. I decided to stray off the route into a place that no one else was. That way no one would look at me oddly while I was talking to pokemon. I have no idea what kind of mess I would get into if that act was exposed. I knew you could find 3 kinds of pokemon at this route. You could find Starly, Bidoof, and Shinx. I was looking for Shinx, mainly since they were electric type pokemon. That would greatly benefit in the fight against Wake, the fourth gym leader, who uses water types. I was looking around when I realized that I had the "aura" vision that Lucarios had. I closed my eyes and the terrain became blue. I saw small lights far off, but a strong light behind a tree. I decided to check it out when I saw a Shinx. I had never seen one before, but something was off about it. I could tell.
"Agh! Don't hurt me!" it gasped. He was male.
"Don't worry. I can understand pokemon, and there is no need to fight," I replied.
"Wait what? You are going to fight me aren't you?" he asked.
"Well if I have to. It would be easier if we didn't have to take you by force," said Luke.
"It just only seems reasonable that victor gets the prize. How about if I win, I get all of your pokemon food, and if you win, I join you party. Is that a deal?" he asked.
"So… you still want to fight?" I asked.
"YES! JUST GET ON WITH IT!" he yelled. Quite an impatient Shinx. I told Luke to go out on the field. Honestly, it was sad. He didn't know any proper techniques. He was destroyed quite easily, without doing anything against the Shinx
"Dang. You tried Luke. We do need to train you," I muttered.
"Wait what? You haven't trained him? No wonder he's so bad! He can't even beat a Shinx and he's a Lucario. A LUCARIO!" he grunted. I started feeling rage from Luke. He got back up and I could tell he wanted to fight. He started to fight again, and I started to fear. He was my best friend, and he had gotten hurt from this Shinx. However the Shinx was right. Amazingly, the fight seemed to last much longer. He started to dodge all his blows. I even heard Shinx complementing him on some of his attacks. However, I knew one thing. I need to have Luke access this sort of state in every battle. If this wasn't the same battle, he probably wouldn't have gotten rage and would have gone down. The fight lasted for a minute and I decided to help him out. I told him to use quick attack to dash up a tree, jump off it, and then land with a mach punch. Speed was key. He did so amazingly fast. I could tell the speed of him was really going to help. He jumped up on to the tree, back flipped off of it, took Shinx by surprise, and hurt him quite badly. Good enough I'd say.
"Man… That rage of yours is something else. Well, a deal is a deal… I'll go along," he moaned.
"Hey come on! If you aren't going to enjoy yourself than why bother taking you along at all?" I questioned.
"It would only be right if you were enjoying yourself. Perhaps, you will get stronger with Jack, and he will get you evolved into a Luxio and then a Luxray," Luke explained.
"Huh. I never thought of it that way. Here, I will join, and added, I will teach your friend Luke here some techniques," he replied.
"Well then, welcome to the team," I said. I then laid down the other poke-ball I had and he tapped the button, went inside. The poke-ball shook a bit, but then the all familiar ping of a successful capture happened. I was satisfied. We had a most powerful friend on our side, and our first ally as far my journey will go.
…..
I decided to name him Bolt. He was generally fast and knew some good attacks. He knew thunderbolt already, and plus he knew take down, along with tackle. I think I would have him teach Luke take down, and in turn have Luke teach him quick attack. I was heading to the pokemon center in sandgem town. I figured I would look around first. However, I didn't expect to be side tracked. When I brought Bolt in, all eyes went to me, and Bolt. Everyone seemed awe struck.
A little boy then said, "Wow! How did you get a yellow Shinx?"
"What's so special about a yellow Shinx?" I asked back.
"You don't know about shiny pokemon? You must be new. Shinx are regularly blue and black. Yours is yellow and black. Shiny pokemon are extremely rare. There is almost no possibility in finding one in the wild. You're really lucky!" he exclaimed.
"Wow, I thought I was just different. I didn't know about this whole shiny system," explained Bolt.
"Well… I never really had thought about that. I knew something was different about him from the start. I just had never seen a Shinx before," I proclaimed.
"Neat. Hey I'm a trainer. I have two pokemon and that Lucario of yours seems somewhat new to fighting. How about a battle after they are healed?" he asked.
"Sure. It would be my first trainer on trainer battle," I answered. That didn't sound to right to me. However, that was the way to pronounce it. Right?
"Great! My name is Max by the way," he said. "I'm 13 years old."
"Hello then. I'm Jack, and I'm 18 years old," I replied.
"How come if you started as a trainer now you didn't start younger?" he asked.
"Let's just say I never had the chance to until now," I answered. I then went to get Bolt and Luke healed up. I also had a check on myself done. It was interesting, as not even the pokemon center devices could pick up on my dual-body complex. They couldn't even tell that I was talking to pokemon. Once they were all good to go, I went to a reserved area in where it was designed for training. I saw Max there and I saw two pokeballs on his belt.
"So, what are your pokemon?" I asked.
"It's a Starly and a Kricketot," he answered. Luke was steel and fighting, so starly wouldn't really be able to damage him, and neither would Luke. However, Bolt was electric type, which was strong against Starly. As for Kricketot, I'm not sure. Fighting isn't good against bug, and Bug couldn't do well either. But I would have better chance doing so if Bolt gets worn from fighting the Starly. So I had a plan: Bolt for Starly, Luke for Kricketot.
"Go Chirpy!" he yelled. He called out his Starly. I could tell it was female.
I replied, "Go Bolt!" I threw out my ball and Bolt came out. "Bolt, start off with a tackle!"
"Starly dodge it and use peck!" he replied. Bolt and I had talked about something though. He stopped before he was about to move out of the way.
"Now use thunderbolt!" I sneaked. He then sparked his cheeks and casted a shockwave on Chirpy. Chirpy was hurt, but wasn't quite down.
"Chirpy fly around and use peck!" he countered.
"Dodge it and use take down!" I replied. Sure enough the starly dove down and he dodged. However, I didn't expect Max to say, "Chirpy now peck!" She then turned on a dime and pecked repeatedly on Bolt.
"Argh!" cried out Bolt.
"Bolt take him down!" I yelled. He then charged forth after Starly had withdrawn from a peck. It worked, as Chirpy had fallen to the ground.
"Aaaah!" she cried out as she fell.
"Yeah! I did good didn't I?" asked Bolt. Yes you did Bolt. Yes you did. However, you got hurt, so Luke is going to handle this next little sequence. I had taught Luke that when I telepathize mach alone that he does mach punch then quick attack, and if quick, he does quick attack then mach punch. I telepathize out the other attacks if there is something else he needs to do like use a bullet punch.
"Alright. You tried your best Chirpy. Now go, Bugman!" he shouted. He threw out his ball and a male Kricketot came out.
"Go Luke!" I then threw out my ball.
"Who are we fighting?" he asked via telepathy.
"Kricketot, or Bugman. Do what I taught you," I telepathized to him. "Start with quick attack, followed by a bullet punch." He nodded then dashed.
"Bugman dodge it!" he yelled. Bugman was confused though. He didn't realize that we could telepathize to each other. He took the quick attack full on and then got directly hit by the follow up Bullet Punch.
"Bugman counter it with leech life!" he responded. Leech life would drain some of Luke's hp.
"Luke, quick attack to avoid it and then finish with a mach punch," I ordered him. He nodded and then quick attacked. The leech life hit though, and he did heal up a bit. However, Luke had charged quick enough to get there to hit him, and then finished him off with a mach punch. He flew into the air and landed down, unconscious.
"Max has no pokemon left to battle with. Jack is the winner!" pronounced the referee.
"Well done. Both of you," I telepathized to Luke and said to Bolt. I had taken Bolt out after we had won.
"Thanks," they both answered.
"Wow! Those are really strong pokemon! I hope you do well in your first gym fight," he said.
"Thanks. You too," I replied. We then waved bye as we went back to heal our pokemon. He sat down with me while I was eating some food.
"Hey, you seemed to instruct Luke without talking to him. How do you do that?" he asked.
"Well you are a friend. Can you hold a small secret?" I asked.
"Sure. No problem," he replied.
"Well for all of my life I was homeless. I am most unusual too," I said while I took off my hat to reveal my green tinted hair. My hair was brown otherwise. I also pointed to my eyes, which as you know were fiercely green. "However, when I came to be, Luke was by my side. For all my life I've known him and we've been friends. However, he is an aura pokemon. We developed such a strong bond that we can communicate telepathically to each other."
"Wow so you can understand what he says?" he asked.
"Well no. You see, I don't understand pokemon toung," I replied. What you thought I was going to tell him of my dual body? "It's just we can mentally communicate. I can't understand him when he says his name, but I can when we speak to each other's mind, telepathically."
"Oh I understand now. So you don't understand pokemon, only his mind is what you can understand," he replied. Other than that we just talked a bit more, I told him my story about Bolt, and we headed our separate ways. I actually went to Professor Rowan's lab just around the center to do a bit of research. I was going to look up a book on shiny pokemon first, since Bolt was one. I also looked around for folklore. See if anything interesting popped up. I saw a lot of old copies, but there were two that caught my attention. One was about some mythical tale on how five pokemon had saved the world from becoming enshrouded in a shadow. The other was on some book. It was leathered, and it was called, "Tales Of Heroes". It was huge. When I opened up there were contents. It turns out, that there were books for every story in this. I saw stories that even related to other dimensions. One story mentioned a black Scottish man taking on the odds to become a hero. Other ones mentioned a woman taking down a vile computer system, with it later reawakening and then befriending it, only to defeat a more evil computer. There were even stories based on a block-by-block world. However, there were mostly pokemon stories. 6 of them. There were 5 neat ones, and then one that mentioned a case where a half-man, half pokemon helps the world in a dangerous time of need, along with some faithful companions. I decided to read on, but unfortunately it was so old and rusted up that it was hard to read. I could hardly understand any of it. I decided that I would leave it alone and mention Bolt to Professor Rowan and see what he would have to say.
"Hello. Professor Rowan could I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure thing. What is it?" he questioned. I took out my pokeball and opened it up to reveal Bolt. He was astonished.
"Incredible! A shiny Shinx! Where did you find him?" he asked.
I shrugged and then answered, "I found him on Route 202."
"Interesting. Is it okay if I can conduct some tests?" he asked.
"Woah woah woah! I don't want to be poked with needles or that sort of thing!" exclaimed Bolt.
"As long as it won't hurt him in any way, yes," I answered.
"Thanks man," replied Bolt.
"Okay. There were no test going to use painful objects, but otherwise there will be regular health and DNA tests," he replied. After the tests were done and I took back bolt. "Have a good travel!" he said as I left. It was now back to Jubilife. It was only a quarter mile of the way. It wouldn't take too long.
…..
I decided I would take a leisurely pit stop on the side of the Route to check whether I could still turn into a Lucario.
"Hey Luke, I'm going to see if it still works," I said.
"Okay. It should still work, as I completely tampered with it," he replied. I then closed my eyes and started to focus. Sure enough I started seeing the dark room again and I saw the Lucario body again. The Lucario opened his eyes and nodded his head as before. I then nodded my head down and we switched spots.
I heard outside, "I can look into DNA remember. I'm going to monitor the DNA changes." I knew what he meant. If he could change my DNA complex, he should be able to read DNA complexes. I then felt the first spike just out of my hand. Then the other, and sure enough more transformations started. My heels raised, my skin changed, and my skin crumpled into the fur. I started to feel the overcoat forming and my snout, ears, and tailbone started to jut out. Sure enough, I was a Lucario again.
"Okay, it still works," I claimed.
"Well that was interesting. I was looking at your DNA the whole time. It turns out the farther through the transformation the more Lucario DNA you have," He replied.
"How does that make sense?" I asked.
"Well as the transformation progresses your Lucario DNA slowly rises from 1-100%. You have 100% now, and in the middle it was 50%. Also, soon enough your bodies will get used to the transforming. It should quicken and take less time to change from Lucario to Human and vice versa," he answered. I saw now.
"I see. Hey, since I have 100% Lucario DNA, can I use pokemon moves too?" I asked.
"You are asking me to teach you? Wow how ironic is this…" he stated. It was pretty funny now that he had mentioned it. He was for the moment only going to teach me quick attack. He said it was easy to learn plus it had much applicability. He stated it simple that I must channel a small bit of energy into my legs then dash quickly. It took me some time amazingly to actually get this down. It must have been due to my regular feeling of being a human, and not a Lucario. Really, once I learn quick attack, I don't think I'll feel much like a human at all. I already felt the entire body of a Lucario, and I had already learned some neat things. For example, the shell around my waist is actually removable. However, Lucarios like to keep it on, for, well, erm… You can assume why. Let's go that it's not publicly decent to NOT have the shell on. Other things are that the color of Lucario's eyes depend on either it's mood, or what it's doing. That would explain Luke's rainbows of eye color. Another thing is that the tails of Lucario are like dog tails. Depending on their mood shows how their tails are. Straight up is aggressive, regular posture is genuine feeling, out as far back as possible is joyous, and down is depressed. I only knew those, since those were the only ones I could conclude. Well, now back on topic. For the moment it took me a couple of minutes to understand how to channel the energy. After I figured that out, I had to channel it into my legs, which took several minutes. I had lost count. Even after I found out how to channel it into my legs, it took me even more time to release the energy to make a burst. What kind of screwed up method is this? It's taking hours to get down this technique, while professionals have taught moves in minutes. There was something to this and I definitely needed to get it down fast.
…..
I originally had more planned, but I got kind of rushed, since more and more dumb interferences keep rising up. I promise that Demoknight Chapter 4 will not take as long as this did. Make sure to keep checking in my homepage for updates. I would also prefer you opinion if you reviewed. Other than that there isn't too much more to talk about these.
I have most of this story planned out, along with my Portal story, my TF2 story, and a special surprise. Heheheh.
For those of you new to my work I have only 1 other fic for the moment and it is on Team Fortress 2. If you don't know anything about it, then don't bother reading it. I started this as my second fic to get away from writing Team Fortress 2 all the time. I've been addicted to Terraria so that doesn't help. I also keep teasing about a big surprise that I'm making. If you don't know about it, check in on my homepage, since my update log is stated there. Other than that I don't have too much more to worry about. Bye bye. ~DTH~
