Series of Pokemon one shots

by nickgack119

This is the beginning of a string of random Pokémon related one shots, that will hopefully evolve into some kind of story at one point or other. This will be rated M for violence, cursing, gore, adult themes in general. Always looking for advice so feel free to, as the young ones say, let me have it.

1. Arcanine Vs Mankey

Mankey Vs Arcanine

A sea of green waved lazily as a gentle breeze rolled over its surface, sunshine glistening off of grass stalks as it would any actual body of water. Hemmed on all sides by giant pines and ancient oaks, the peaceful swath of bright green amid darker forest coolers provided a pleasant backdrop for any pleasant dream. Mountains with snowy peaks could be witnessed at the egde of the horizon, far away monuments to processes of time immemorial. This scene of tranquility and beauty shattered in an instant, replaced with one of savagery and brutality.

First, the gentle breeze was transformed into a raging torrent of blistering hot wind, the smell of smoke thick in the previously scentless air. It only lasted for a second however, for, from the thick tree line,a column of flame vomited forth , disintegrating anything that was before it's hungry maw. Following the all destroying fire, a roar shook the pine forest, deafening any close enough to pay witness to the wrath of the one who'd produced such a awesome spectacle.

A small figure dashed from the tree line, avoiding the path of scorched earth that had now replaced the grass that had covered half the peaceful glade that had been just moments before. It quickly made its way to the center of the small clearing, it's deft movements and agile gate letting it move with surprising speed, considering it could not have been more than a few feet tall. The odd creature stopped once it had reached the center, turning to face the smoking hole that had once been a stretch of healthy trees.

A mankey, large for its kind, but a mankey none the less, was what stood, small eyes full of wry intelligence scanning the forest about it, clearly waiting for something to happen. The small ape did not have to wait long. One moment it could feel the warm sun touching it's hairy hide, the next, it's world was draped in shadow. In the empty space behind the simian like pokemon, a vast shape materialized suddenly and without warning. It was huge, so large that the small animal it engulfed with its shadow seemed laughably tiny next to it. An enormous wolf, with a pelt that seemed to trap the very fire it could spit from its body in its coloring, pulled back it lips, revealing glistening fangs, the largest of which could easily spear the tiny animal before it completely through. The arcanine's jaw opened to reveal molten orange and yellow light, flames hot enough to melt even steel.

Just before it was to late, before the onslaught of hell fire could be unleashed, a blue light coated the small creature before it's towering adversary, briefly illuminating the small ape in a shimmering coat of cobalt mist. In the same instant the huge wolf had appeared, it unleashed it's awesome fury. From its maw poured forth a torrent of golden red flame, completely obscuring the Arcanines foe from view as it spread rapidly in all directions.

The flames would only be let forth for a few moments however, the apparent victory dashed from existence. At the center of the barrage of heat, blue electricity danced for a moment amongst the flames, crackling energy lancing forward in all directions. The giant canine did not move fast enough, to confident in its attack to prepare quickly enough for the retribution it's acts had inspired. Tendrils of stinging energy slammed into the fire type, ending it's attack and lifting it's from its feet. The huge beast landed a few meters away, it's bulk shaking the ground as it slammed into the soft loam hidden beneath the green grass.

Where a sea of flame had once been, the small ape was all that could be witnessed, it's now charred and burnt coat of tan fur crackling and pulsating with blue Tendrils of electrical power that emanated from its right fist. Below its feet, the green that had once been their was now replaced with glowing earth, hot enough that it ignited anything that came within a few inches of its surface. The mankey, seeing it's opponent was down and not wanting to lose the momentum of its attack, immediately went on the offensive, seeking a quick victory before more damage could be done.

Stunned for a few moments by the impact of its massive form against the ground below, the arcanine was unable to defend itself or dodge the oncoming blow, large brown eyes fixed on its advisory as it bore down. With speed that defied logic, almost simply seeming to disappear for a moment from reality, the smaller Pokemon leapt forward, it's closed fist, still wreathed in snapping Azul power, pulled back, ready to unleash the ferocious killing blow. " ENOUGH" the shout came from the nearby tree line, a deep voice with undeniable authority laced within it. The enormous, flame colored wolf quit trying to struggle to its feet, laying down where it had fallen with an audible wine. The small, charred ape landed neatly by its opponent, nothing remaining of its aura of power except a slight blue nimbus around its right hand.

The mankey was in far worse condition than its apparent enemy, though it seemed to be dealing with the pain far better, the arcanine whimpering as it lay, sprawled out across the soft grass that had somehow survived the titanic struggle. While the gargantuan wolf sported a ragged burn across its chest, one that promised a truly epic scar, the diminutive ape was more cinder than flesh. Over half its body missed fur, the once spiky, tan pelt replaced with charred meat, giving off an acrid odor that smelt of all things wrong. The Pokémon held itself high however, steely, intelligent eyes betraying no pain, only hot, barely controlled rage at having its victory stolen out from under it.
