A/N: Yeah!!!!! It's my first real story with chapters and stuff. FINALLY!!
Anyway, if you didn't see it already, there is Contestshipping. But, that's not all. You'll just have to read it!
Sometimes I might have characters come and talk in the A/N because I can (I know, I know, overdone. But, I like it). But, I won't do it too often.
There is one part in this chapter with thinking, which is like this when written.
Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, It would be the Apocalypse and right now we're not all dead, so I highly doubt it is.
Prologue:
(Eight year ago)
In a forest in Johto, Ilex to be exact, a family is camping. They came all the way from Hoenn so the parents can show their kids what camping is all about. They traveled to Ilex Forest because of its beauty and it's a way to get use to new surroundings. Just like when you have to travel to be a Pokemon Trainer or Coordinator.
A curious little girl was watching the Pokémon frolic through the trees. "Mommy, can I please play with the Pokémon?" asked the little girl to her mother.
"No honey, those wild Pokémon like to be left alone," explained her mom while she was preparing dinner.
"Aw, but I'll be careful" the little girl begged.
"Listen to Mommy, the Pokémon could try to eat you up," said her brother, trying to scare the girl, like all older brothers.
"Don't scare your sister like that," scolded their dad while he was setting up the tent.
"They aren't scary Daddy, look at the pretty Butterfree!" shouted the little girl excitedly.
"Yes it's beautiful, but it's dinnertime" her mom replied with the food in her hands.
While her family was eating though, the little girl was following the fluttering Butterfree. By the time her family noticed she was missing, she was deep in the mysterious forest. She eventually lost sight of the butterfly-like Pokémon. Normally, the larger Pokémon in that area would chase her out, but they out hunting. At least, most were.
"Mommy, Daddy, where are you?" the girl cried in despair.
Suddenly, there was movement in the bushes. Curious, as any little kid, she cautiously peeked behind them. She saw a smaller than normal Houndour that looked weakened, tired, and covered in cuts and bruises. It looked positively terrified of the girl, but was in no condition to run away.
"It's okay little puppy, I won't hurt you," the girl murmured to try and calm the dog Pokémon. "Let's see, what berries did Mommy say was good for Pokémon boo-boos? Oh yeah the little blue ones, Oran Berries, I think. You stay here while I look for some".
The Houndour gave a yelp in agreement.
While she looked, the Dark Pokémon reflected on her kindness. I'm not used to such sympathy, thought Houndour. I've never met a human before. She seems to be by her self and humans don't come this far in the forest. Maybe I'll stay with her.
Then it heard the girl shout, "I think I found some!" She then headed its way.
The little girl knelt beside the Fire-using dog and warily fed the Pokémon, trying not to get bitten by its sharp teeth.
"Your not so scary, are you? Where's your family? Wait are you lonely little puppy?" asked the girl in interest.
"Dour, houndour" whimpered the little Pokémon in sadness.
The little girl took that as a yes and asked, "I'm kind of lost, and so can you help me around?"
"Dou, dour" exclaimed Houndour in happiness while wagging its tail. Hopefully she'll get to understand me after a while.
"Ahh… do you happen to know your way out of here?" The Houndour shook its head no.
"That's what I figured," the girl sighed unhappily.
I wish I could help you more girl, you've helped me and been so nice. My family abandoned me because of my size thought the puppy miserably.
"I think I should call you something other than Houndour. I like to name Pokémon, is that okay?" Houndour wagged its tail
"Wait, I need to know something. Bark twice if you're a girl and one time for a boy". He barked once.
"Alright, um… flame, no, wait… blaze, ah, Blazebark! How about Blazebark buddy?" questioned the girl. Houndour, now known as Blazebark, yipped in joy.
"I guess it's just us in this scary forest, for now. By the way, my name is Vicky.
