Shocking love

(Sorry if this one is kind of stale. Been through a lot of shit lately and I've been kinda depressed. A friend who knew I made these stories started saying I was a freak for making them and it kind of hit me hard. Sorry if the story sucks. )

Chapter 1

It was just a normal day in this small boring miner town. Nothing new or interesting to ever do besides mine or dig. This town had a gold mine long ago and it's been rich in ore resources for a long time, changing the agriculture around here strictly to mining.

"James!" a friend called to me as I sat down on an old stump and over looked my town from the cliff.

"What is it?" I asked him curiously.

"I heard screams come from that old mine not too far away from here!" he informed me between deep breaths.

"The abandoned one? Let's make sure no one is hurt!" I said as I quickly got off my stump and headed to the old mine.

It wasn't uncommon for someone to get trapped or lost in a mine, especially around here, my father died when one collapsed and he was crushed. We ran through the woods towards that old mine and all the bug types and grass types scurried away in fear of us. Neither I or my Friend, Adam, have a pokemon with us. He had a floatzel but she staid at home with him mostly and didn't really like exploring, shes a funny pokemon.

We arrived shortly later at an old crevice that lead down to the mine, falling down this meant instant death waiting at the bottom. We slowly crawled down as carefully as possible just to make sure we didn't fall. Another little scream let out from the mine below us and we picked up the pace a bit. I was worried about the fact that some pokemon might be lurking down there, territorial pokemon were a problem here. Aggron and tyranitar were known to attack people who got too close. I wasn't built to fight. Im especially tall and skinny standing at 5'11 and 115 pounds, you could say I'm underweight for a 15 year old. I was complete with a set of hazel eyes and dark brown hair as dark as bark on a tree.

We finally reached the bottom and the entrance to the black abyss was in front of us. Normally I wouldn't set foot in it being that it looked like an entrance to hell and no one wants to meet Giritina. But this wasn't normal circumstances so I walked in with Adam behind me as we prepared for the worst. We walked for a minute or so until I could see a faint glow of electricity that caught my attention. I walked over to it to see a small shinx caught under a rock, it was golden unlike a normal shinx but that wasn't the most important thing as of now.

"Come on, let's try to get the rock off of it." I said to Adam, we both picked up the small boulder that was trapping the small pokemon and threw it in another direction.

I picked the small pokemon up in my hands and it fell unconscious and went limp.

"Shit, we need to get it medical help fast!" I told Adam who was looking back at the entrance with a look of terror on his face.

"What?" I asked him as I turned around to find a tyranitar at the mouth of the cave.

"Fuck." I said to myself as I tried to think of a plan as the large pokemon stomped over to us.

"Look we mean no harm, we just came to help this wounded shinx." I said to it as I raised the shinx for it to see.

It stared at me and then the shinx and then at Adam, it must of been interpreting us to see if we were a threat or not. Thankfully we didn't seem one to it, it stepped out of the way and let us through and we scrambled out and up the slope to get back to the town.

After a while of running, we finally reached the town and I brought the shinx to my house and got it cleaned up and healed a bit.

"There, it should be fine for now." I said as I laid the shinx down on my bed.

"Have you found out what gender it is yet?" Adam asked me.

I in fact didn't check, so I lifted it up it's back leg a bit to see a small fold.

"Female." I said to him as I put her leg back down.

"Ok, you seem to have everything in order here so I'll leave this all to you." he said, dropping the responsibility for the shinx on me.

"Lazy bum." I murmured as I petted the small shinx.

Her leg was crushed but she'll be okay, she wont die and it will heal. Not long after she woke up startled and looked around till she saw me and growled.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, if it wasn't for me your leg would have been crushed." I said as i pointed to the bandage on her leg.

"Thank you." she said as she averted my gaze.

"You can talk huh? Ive heard stories of pokemon who can." I said as I approached her slowly.

Adam's floatzel, Marin was able to talk and she was kind of sassy and motherly to him so it was nothing new hearing a pokemon talk.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"Corona, and yours?" she said to me.

"James." I said to her as she tried to get up.

"I'm leaving." she said as she continued to try and get up

"Do you have a home to return to?" I asked her.

"No." she told me.

"Why not just stay with me for a while?" I asked her.

"I can't trust anyone anymore, I doubt you've been through anything like I have." she said angrily.

"My fathers dead and I don't know my mother, I think I know somewhat how you feel." I said to her, she stopped and looked back at me and something in her eyes said that she understood what it was like.

"I don't know my father and my mother abandoned me because of this damn golden coat!" she said as she bit at her fur.

"Why?" I asked her curiously.

"Since it's gold it's harder to blend in to the natural environment, and that means I am easy prey and that puts my family in danger. So she left me and I was chased by some rock types into the cave where it all happened." she said as she sat back down and I could see she was becoming teary eyed.

"I tried to be bold and I picked her up in my arms and held her into my shoulder. At first she was surprised and struggled but she stopped and laid her head down onto my shoulder and cried.

We are alike somewhat, so why don't you stay with me? This can be your home." I said to her as I petted her head.
