This FanFic is just me going in blind into Pokemon. I've read no other stories from Pokemon, so this should be interesting.
For all you horrid people out there, I'm keeping this T... Though I may make one for M if you want to...
Just saying.
This story will be different from how I usually write, so don't be surprised if you compare the word count with my other stories.
Well, have fun reading my story as you...
Enjoy!
This forest is beautiful as usual!
I looked around the forest, the flowers and the trees teeming with wild life. A couple of Combees buzzed past, pollinating the flowers. The Pokemon had their own way of life, their ecosystem something humans shouldn't disturb.
"Wraff!" I turned to see a little Lillipup running circles in between my legs, it barking happily as it chased a Weedle around. Picking up the puppy, I held it at eye level as it obediently stared at me.
"You be a good boy, okay?" The Lillpup took to licking my face, covering me in slobber. I couldn't help but laugh as the sloppy kisses continued. I put it down casually as it ran off, now chasing a Yanmega that flew eight feet above the ground.
Hope he doesn't get attacked by her.
My name is Shen Capta, a 14 year old boy that lives in this forest. I've spent my entire life in this forest, the Pokemon raising me. A lonely Zoroark, that goes by the name Zoey, found me abandoned in the woods one day. She saw a glimpse in me that reminded me of her, so to raise me right, she brought me to the abandoned shrine in the middle of the forest. There, I learned both Human and Pokemon language so I could grow up to be the voice of Pokemon.
'Where are you Shen? I hope you're not playing with those Slakoth again...'
'I'm right here Zoey!'
I turned around to see a female Zoroark, despite looking alike the others of her species, she had a unique mark across her chest. The marking closely resembled a scar shaped like an X. Zoey was a kind person, raising me on her own at the age of 3. She was abandoned by her pack immediately after she evolved at the age of 1, spending the next two years protecting the shrine with illusions.
'Jeez, don't you go wandering off again... What if a policeman takes you away?'
'You sound like a mom... You're way to protective.'
She seemed to take offense to that as she showed that she was taken aback. She went on to pout as she scolded me.
'H-hey! I care about you, so of course I'm going to protect you... Plus, we're almost the same age in human years, so stop making me feel like an old hag.'
I couldn't help but laugh as she lit up a bright red, which surprisingly matched the color of her mane. She punched me out of pure embarrassment, as she dragged me back to the shrine...
0-0-0-0-0
It was night by the time we got back, with Zoey bringing back berries and veggies from the nearby brush. We sat down on the steps as we munched away at the meal before us. I turned to see Zoey stuffing her face full of food...
'Your face is stained with juice, heck, aren't you supposed to be the older one?'
In an instant, she wiped away the oran berry juice from her mouth as she tried to recompose herself. We continued to eat after that, as I could feel the stares from Zoey trying to find something I did wrong as we ate. Now full of food, we both grew tired and slept inside the shrine, Zoey hugging me closer than usual.
Third Person Viewpoint
Zoey's senses started to tingle as a presence passed through the illusion barrier she had set up last week. Slowly releasing Shen from her grip, she went to check what was happening outside. Looking out, she spotted a group of hunters, noticing that only three passed through unharmed as the rest screamed in pain.
Almost instantly, they spotted her peeking from behind the doors, the hunters signaling each other. In order to hide Shen, Zoey jumped out from behind the sliding doors, the hunters' net guns pointed straight at her. Putting on her Scary Face, she managed to intimidate two of the hunters instantly, with the remaining one launching a net at her. A clean Night Slash cut through the net easily, as she finally closed the gap between the hunter.
"You're going to regret ever coming here..." Zoey threatened the cowering hunter as she pulled back her fist, soon unleashing a flurry of punches as Punishment. Soon, the bruised man was crying out for her to stop. She hastily complied, but not after she let out a mighty Roar that managed to scare off all the Pidgeys in the trees nearby. In fear of death, the hunters crawled, limped, and ran off as they disappeared into the brush a few meters away.
"Men. Never ask a man to do a woman's job..." The origin of the voice was unknown, but the voice of a woman was easily distinguishable when it echoed against the treeline. Soon, it spoke again, but this time revealing a woman in her twenties. She donned formal business clothing, the clacking of high heels against stone falling silent.
"Well, well, well... Look what we have here... A high level Zoroark. Let's test your mettle, shall we?" With a quick adjustment of her glasses, a golden Pokeball flew out in front of her, revealing a black Raticate. The Pokemon stood there, rivaling Zoey and the woman in size. In an attempt to stop the fighting, she tried to reason with the male Raticate.
'Why do you side with the human? We need not fight...'
'This woman has given us a second chance... I can't help but want to repay my debt to her... Forgive me.'
'You're forgiven, but if that's your choice... I won't hold back nonetheless.'
'I'd have it no other way.'
Straight out the gate, first thing Zoey did was use Hone Claws, using her Agility to run circles around the fat rat.
"RATICATE! USE QUICK ATTACK!" And with that, the Raticate vanished; Zoey stopping in her tracks as she tried to find where he had gone. That proved to be her mistake however, as she was thrown to the ground with a strike from behind. Her body was now skipping across the dirt, as the trainer shouted out yet another command.
"Quickly, when she's downed! USE PURSUIT!" Now on all fours, he leaped into the air towards her, ready to slam into her. Luckily for her, she was upright again and fired a Shadow Ball, sending him flying back upon contact. Attempting to follow up, she tried to do a Feint Attack, but was met with a nasty surprise.
"Now! While she's vulnerable!" His gaping jaws opened up, a Crunch critically landing on her shoulder. A yelp could be heard as the bones in her right shoulder dislocated and crunched. She was now bleeding, the teeth marks accentuated by flesh. The Raticate seemed happy to cripple Zoey. Sadly, the victory was cut short as he was knocked out by Payback.
The Raticate returned to the golden Pokeball; a sigh could be heard as the woman called out yet another Pokemon. A shiny Krokorok came crashing down onto the battleground, it's glasses nearly falling down from recoil. Without warning, the sand crocodile couldn't help but Thrash out. The sudden flurry of attacks forced Zoey to flip back to dodge it.
'Oh no...'
Forgetting about her bad shoulder, her right arm collapsed under the pressure, her body crumbling to the ground. Before anything else, the Krokorok locked her down on her back in a Sand Tomb, allowing the woman to walk up to Zoey.
"You we're quite the opponent, though you'll be stronger with my training regiment..." Those were the last words she heard as her blood loss knocked her out. The woman put the now catatonic Zoroark in yet another golden Pokeball. Returning her Krokorok, she headed towards the nearest Pokemon center.
Shen's Viewpoint
The songs of bird Pokemon woke me up, the shrine being eerily empty without Zoey. The feeling of melancholy set onto me as I had a bad feeling something happened to her. In response, I tried to look around for Zoey, but I couldn't find her. Soon, weeks passed as I coninued to tell myself lies of what could've happened to her, none of them being something caused by an outside force. I wanted to believe that she wasn't the one to die, after all, she did fight big rock Pokemon...
Right?
Sitting on the steps we spent our time together, tears rolled down my cheeks as I reminisced about the past. Soon, another week had passed as I waited for her, making it about two months from when she had gone missing. That feeling of sadness hadn't worn off since then, the fact that it was her birthday today made it much worse.
There's no way that Zoey would miss her birthday, she loves the presents I give. I think that if I just wait for her, she'll come back... So I'll wait.
I put on a false look to give myself the confidence that she would come back, but I didn't know how long that would last.
No matter how long it takes.
Sorry if it's a bit clunky. I'm trying to implement somethings I haven't set into stone yet... So~
A few tips and tricks would be helpful.
But Thanks for reading,
Ciao!
