A Snivystar/Zeper original. I own only Zeper and Genji. Pokemon belongs to Nintendo.

It was night. Pitch black. Zeper had gotten bored of being his own mysterious self and he felt the strong urge to explore again and escape his room at home. He wore a black shirt with a aqua colored bluetricity design along with black jeans and a pitch black leather jacket.

As the urge got the best of him, Zeper then walked to the window and looked out it. He saw nothing but darkness. 'Perfect. This would fit nice.' he thought as he opened the window. He sat on the window sill and slid over and off it as he landed perfectly on his feet outside in the back of his house. As he took a look around, he was able to make out the woods not far in front of him due to his ability to see in pitch black. Sorta like night vision.

"So whats next? Or, wheres next?" Zeper questioned himself. He had a choice. He could go see his friends, explore, or go back. But going back was out of the equation already. He made it a final decision. He is going forwards, not backwards. If he went to explore, he may never return. So that left seeing friends. But who?

At this, Zeper began to walk to the woods and thought more as he came across a few pokemon. One was a Raichu. Then there was two Zorua, one black with red, and the other black with blue, and a Manaphy. Quite the rarest of sights. But why did he see them in a group? Why weren't they scared of him? Over all, why didn't they act like they noticed or even cared about his presence? All these questions just confused him. He sat down against a tree and looked at the group that was silent and seemed to be nearing him.

"If only Flia or Genji were here to see this." Zeper said as he looked up to see the group of four rare pokemon standing right in front of him. They all seemed to be happy and friendly. He wondered if maybe they wanted to join his travels. Then again, he thought in negative ways as well as positive ways. He began to think they wanted something. But what? It was another question that would end up confusing to most, but for Zeper, he could interact with pokemon, already having been a Zorua before. "Hello there fellow friends." Zeper had finally said as they still didn't show any reaction. Only the Manaphy who stepped forward.

The Manaphy had on a mini cape that went 360 degrees around it with the hood of it down off of its head. "Hello." the Manaphy replied. It's voice sounded as if it were a girl. That either meant that it was a female or a theres more than one Manaphy in the world. They both sounded inaccurate since a Manaphy was to be said as a legendary and genderless.

Next up was the two Zorua. "Hey there." they said. The shiny blue colored Zorua had a voice of a male and the regular red colored Zorua had the voice of a female.

Finally, there was the Raichu. "Pleasure to meet you." the Raichu said with a low, male voice. Riachu sounded like he was the more silent one in the group.

The question still remained, what did they want? Maybe asking? No, that would show bad of him. He had to befriend them first. Besides, he wasnt in a rush. Or yet that is.

"So do you have names?" he finally asked them. THey all seemed to smile gladly. They must really like the question, or meeting him. It was still all none other than confusing.

"98 the Manaphy." 98 had said. The Manaphy was for sure a girl more than genderless. The voice gave it off. It was slightly squeaky. Definitely higher pitched than the rest of the group.

"Zequel the Zorua." Zequel had said in a slightly shy voice. He looked extremely powerful though, but looks can be extremely deceiving. Especially with a Zorua. For all he knew, he wasn't a shiny Zorua. But there wasn't enough proof to say the shiny colors were fake.

"Rivita din eat ta. Just joking, its Rivita." Rivita had said as she let out a small laugh at the end. She was good at rhyming, that was for sure. BUt there was something about her. She was nice and seemed to already to take a liking to Zeper. But they just met. That and Zeper is a human, Rivita was a Zorua. But then Zeper seemed to feel as if he liked her as well.

"Zen the Raichu." Zen had said to snap Zeper back into reality. Zen seemed to have that voice that can send you down in fear within just very few seconds. Either that or instantly. He also looked a little violent from his axed tail. It looked sharper than usual Raichu tails. Maybe he could use guillotine with that sharp of a tail. It had an outline of crimson red along the blade of the tail. Blood? Zeper honestly didn't want to find out.
"Nice to meet you all." Zeper said as he smiled. He was happy to meet them. "My name is Zeper." he had said after. It looked like he was friends, but still. Looks can be deceiving. From what the Raichu appears as, it could kill him with ease when Zeper gets off guard.

There was one thing that he noticed about all of the pokemon. They all wore a green silk handkerchief around their neck. It was interesting. With all this about the pokemon, Zeper wanted to keep them. But he isn't a pokemon trainer. He also doesn't take care of a pokemon yet. But he felt willing to take care of these ones. He liked each of the four. Another thing he ended up seeing was a barely visible, faint dash of pink across Rivita's face between her eyes and nose. Was she ok? There was definitely something wrong with her. The most accurate guess Zeper could think of was she was either suffering sickness or she was blushing with odd color.

"Are you feeling alright Rivita? I noticed your pink marking." Zeper had asked her. She looked at him with slight shock.

"No... I'm actually sick. We don't have a cure and we can't get one." she had replied leaving Zeper worried.
