This is re-updated again, this time using the new grammar site, Grammarly. THIS IS A COMBINATION OF CHAPTERS 1-3. I've made a few spelling corrections and fixed a few grammar issues. There will still be a ton of problems, but I will work on them when I feel like it. Reading over my story, I kinda dislike it a little. Things are a bit too rushed, and I don't know how I'll continue the story. Enjoy. GAME ON!

Nice, kind, loving, and gentle. Those words can be used to describe Buizel, who was for once actually inside his trainers Pokeball, which wasn't very fun for Buizel but he had no choice his trainer was really mad at him. You see Buizel was caught making out with a Charmeleon, now normally this would be no big deal since it was just a part of life, but the problem was that the Charmeleon was not female, it was male.

FLASHBACK

"I'm sorry Buizel, but what I saw was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen!" screamed the trainer harshly which only added to the pain Buizel was feeling. The trainer then pulled out a red and white orb and furiously screamed "Return" making a beam of a red light shoot out and transfer him inside.

END OF FLASHBACK

He had been inside the ball for about a day now, and he still hasn't been called out. Worried, Buizel decided to let himself out and see what was going on, he was expecting to see his trainer battling with another of his Pokémon. Since that's usually what was happening every time he let himself out. But once he was out, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was in the middle of a forest. On the ground in front of him was a opened envelope that had Buizels name written on the front of it and lucky for Buizel, he could read.

"Dear Buizel, I'm sorry but I can no longer be your trainer, I know we've had some good times over these few years but I just can't go on knowing that one of my Pokémon is dishonoring Arceus by being gay. Hopefully, one day you'll come to realize that what you are doing will cost you an eternity in the distortion world and you'll repent for your sins but until that day, I'll keep praying for you. Goodbye and good luck.

The Buizel stared wide-eyed at the note. At that moment, It began to rain again. He dropped to the floor, curled up in a ball, and began to cry. "Buiiiiiii! Nooo! Please don't leave me! I'm sorry!" he bawled hoping this was just a joke and his trainer would return, but all he got was more rain, sadness, loss, sorrow, and loneliness.

Unknowingly to Buizel a few feet away behind a tree stood a young Riolu who had seen the trainer placed the Pokeball on the ground, and leave the envelope and after the trainer left he decided to read the note out of curiosity.

"What did he do to the Charmeleon? Did he kill it?" Riolu thought unsure what happened, he decided to leave the Buizel in his ball, but wait and watch what happened. He felt really bad for the Buizel. He conflicted. "Should I help him out and let him sleep in my cave tonight? Or do I leave him here in the rain? I don't know what if he's a murderer or a thief...but what if he's nice and just needs help." Then after a few more moments of thinking Riolu's kind nature got the best of him.

He approached the Buizel. "Excuse me; do you want a dry place to stay for the night? I'll take you to my cave if you want." He approached the Buizel. "Excuse me, do you want a dry place to stay for the night? I'll take you to my cave if you want." Buizel looked at Riolu, tears still running down his face.

"You don't know me, and I don't know you so just leave me alone, I don't deserve anything anyway. I don't deserve love or happiness...I don't even deserve to live" He said as sadly looked back down at the ground.

Riolu was starting to feel pain. Not any type of physical pain, but emotional pain. He felt sadness from Buizel. "Don't say stuff like that. Everybody deserves to be loved and surely everyone deserves to live" He said, wrapping his arms around Buizel, giving him a hug. "Now, come with me. I won't take no for an answer." Buizel sat there for a moment still shocked at the sudden hug but soon nodded, and began following the Riolu.

After a short walk through the wet and muddy forest, they had finally made it to the cave. It was neither the biggest or the smallest cave Buizel had seen before but it seemed comfy enough. In the middle of the cave was a small pool of water which was actually an underwater cave that led to the lake that neighbored them. The cave also had 2 large cushions, each with a blanket messily spread on them, a box of medical supplies, and a hole in the wall where Riolu seemed to keep his food.

Riolu chuckled a little at Buizels surprise facial expression "You live here by yourself?" Buizel asked. "Heh yep, this cave belonged to my mother...b-but she passed away last w-week. I'm still trying to get over it" He said with a slightly sad facial expression. Buizel looked down sadly at Riolu, "I'm sorry for your loss."

Riolu grinned "I'm not too upset about it anymore. She lived a long wonderful life. Sure she had troubles in the past, but things eventually worked out for her. That's why you can't give up. I'm sure things will get better for you soon." Buizel shook his head "I don't think that will ever be true for me. All this happened because my trainer caught me making out with a beautiful Charmeleon" He said with a slight blush.

Riolu looked at him, rage starting to fill his body. "WELL THAT'S NO REASON FOR HIM TO THROUGH YOU OUT IN THE COLD LIKE THAT!" he shouted and then Took a few deep breaths to calm himself before he continued, "It's only natural for us males to like females!"

Buizel was now blushing harder. "Well...uh...you see, I-It wasn't a f-female." Riolu looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean not a fe- Oh…." Now Riolu was blushing. "Well, that still doesn't give him the right to treat you that way. Tell you what; I'll let you stay here as long as you need. It's getting kind of lonely here anyway" He said.

Buizel began tearing up at his kindness "Thank you. I don't know how I could ever thank you enough for your help..." "Hey, like I said, everybody deserves a second chance," Riolu said as he walked Buizel over to the bed and tucked him in. "You should get some sleep. You've had a long day. Let me know if you need anything" He said.

Buizel looked up at Riolu confusingly "But what about you? I don't want to take your bed" He said. "No no, I insist, I'll just sleep on the other bed," He said happily. "Good night," Buizel said with a yawn. "Good night," said Riolu as he lay down in the other bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day the sun shined brightly in the sky as well as a rainbow. Buizel stirred and slowly opened his eyes, he then yawned and looked over at where Riolu slept and quickly realized that he wasn't there. Worried, and at the verge of tears again, he quickly ran out of the cave, looking around with no sign of Riolu. "Had I just imagined him last night?" he thought. Then suddenly...

"Good morning? Did you sleep well?" it was Riolu. Buizel sighed a breath of relief. "Yeah, I slept pretty well. Where did you go? You had me worried." He said. Riolu blushed at those words. "I went to go catch you some fish. Your kind like fish right?" He said, quickly realizing what he just said. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that! I meant your species!" Buizel found it amusing.

They only just met yesterday, and yet, the Riolu was treating Buizel with so much respect. "It's fine, don't worry. I know what you meant, yes, In fact, fish is my favorite type of food." Buizel said. "Good. Anyway, I tried to catch the fish, but they were way too fast for me"

Buizel smiled. "It's ok Riolu I'll teach you" Riolu smiled back. "Really? Oh boy, and, by the way, my name is Rio. What about you do you have a nickname?" Buizel frowned. "Sadly no, my old trainer didn't really believe in nicknames."

Rio looked up and down at him. "How about aqua?"

"No"

"Hydra?"

"No"

"Wave?"

"Hell no!"

"Hmm...What about Zell?" Rio questioned hopefully. "Hmm well it isn't the most original name but I guess it the best out of the bunch," Zell said with a grin. "So where's the lake you were trying to catch fish in?"

Rio motioned him to follow and after a few minutes they arrived at a lake and It was packed full of fish.

"I don't know how you could miss all of them. Here, try again and I'll give a few pointers afterward" said Zell. Rio dove into the lake and started swimming. Zell was actually pretty amazed at the speed Rio was able to swim especially for a fighting type. Then his mind accidentally started to wander elsewhere.

"Man, he's so cute the way he moves, the way he talks, and that hot muscular body, oh Arceus don't even get me started on his body," Zell thought as his heart began beating faster. He tried to snap out of it, but one more look at Rio sent his mind adrift again. "I want him. I want to hold him, I want to kiss him, I want to feel him" he thought.

By this time, Rio had already climbed out of the lake and was about to ask how he did. That is until he spotted something poking out between his legs. Rio was now blushing from ear to ear. "Uhhh Zell? You have...uh...something going on there" he said, pointing at his member which was only half way out of his sheath. Zell snapped out of his thoughts again and looked down. He shrieked at what he saw. A huge wave of embarrassment flooded over him.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't m-mean for this to happen." He was actually so embarrassed and afraid of how Rio might react; he began to cry and was about to run away, but before he could Rio grabbed his paw. The next thing that happened would change both of their lives forever.

Rio wrapped his paw around Zell's shoulder and pulled him in for a kiss. Zell almost immediately calmed down but was now confused, and still embarrassed. But soon after those emotions were replaced with love.

Rio's tongue forced its way into Zell's mouth and began fighting with Zell's tongue for dominance, but it didn't last very long and, in the end, Rio won and began tasting every Inch. Zell just shrugged and continued to make out with Rio.

Finally, Rio broke the kiss allowing them both to breath "Rio...I...you...but...why?"

Rio blushed. Because…. I like you.

This time, Zell pulled Rio in for a kiss.

Moments later, back in Rio's cave, the two friends sat at a small wooden table with two fillets of fish, one for both of them. "You're a quick learner! It took me some time to learn how to catch fish, and I'm a water type!" said Zell in admiration. "Well, I've been training by myself every day, for my brother." "Where's your brother now?" Zell asked as he tilted his head in confusion, but then quickly realized the pain that question brought Rio, as tears began to form.

"Just forget I said anything," said Rio who tried his best to regain his composure, but ended up failing as tears ran down his face. "I-I'm sorry, it's just th-that this topic just b-brings me so m-much pain," He said. "Well...you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," said Zell with a small smile.

Rio took a few deep breaths in attempted to calm himself down "No I-It's fine (sniff) y-your my mate n-now so you should know what happened." He said taking one more deep breath. "It happened 5 years ago."

-FLASHBACK-

"Whoa! That's a lot of berries! mom will love these," said a younger, 10-year-old Rio.

"I bet she will," Said an older male Lucario named Zen happily. "She deserves these for all those years of hard work." Rio grinned. "Oh! Did you remember to bring the basket?"

Rio's face-pawed "Shoot, I forgot. I'll go get it right now." He said but before he could take off Zen stopped him.

"No, it's okay bro, I'll get it," He said with a smile.

"Are you sure, I was the one who forgot-" Before Rio could finish his sentence, Zen had already left.

"Aright then," He said, with a chuckle.

Zen was about 5'3'', at 115 lbs. He wasn't the tallest or heaviest Lucario, but his strength and aura control was enough to lead a tribe of Lucario.

'Someday, I'm going to be just like him' he thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. Rio looked up and spotted a large aircraft. Then after realizing it was hovering over him he took off running toward his family's cave began, but sadly he didn't make it far before 7 men emerged.

"Hold it right there!" said one of the men, launching a Houndoom out of its ball. The other 6 did the same as well, all having the same Pokémon.

All Rio could do was obey the men since he knew that he was outmatched and outnumbered. "My names Trench and I am the leader of a fearsome group known as Black Plasma, remember that name boy!" Rio began to shake and whimper in fear at the tall, dark-haired man that stood before him. "Oh don't worry we won't harm you...well actually we will If you don't tell us where Zen is."

"Yeah, tell us where Zin is." repeated one of the grunts.

"It's Zen," Trench said with a glare.

"uh I think it's Zin" Grunt replied.

"It's Zen you moron!"

"Are you sure?"

"YES!"

"Are you positive?"

"THAT'S IT THROW HIS A** IN THE ELIMINATOR!" Trench said angrily punching the grunt in the face knocking him out cold.

Rio was unsure what the eliminator was, but he sure as hell didn't want to find out. "Now then, I'll give your brother 5 seconds to show himself, or my Houndoom gets a little snack," He said.

Houndoom licked his lips and his mouth began to water. "1-2-3-4-"

"I'm right here a***!" Rio turned his head. It was Zen. "What do you want?" he asked.

"Don't play games, you know what I want. Bring me the orbs of destruction or your little brother gets eaten alive" Now Rio was extremely frightened. He hugged up against his big brother for protection, but then out of nowhere, a robotic arm grabbed him, he tried to hang on but it was too strong and soon found himself pulled him into a cage.

"You think this a joke? I'll ask you one more time. Bring me the three orbs of destruction or your brother gets eaten alive!" He said fiercely. The seven Houndoom now looming over the cage Rio was trapped in.

Zen looked down at the cage and sighed knowing that he had no choice. He pulled out the orbs and rolled them to Trench. "Good doggie. KILL THE KID!" He said.

"WHAT?! YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULDNT!-"

"I said I wouldn't feed him to my Mutts," he said with a devilish grin as the Houndoom glared at him, not liking that word, but quickly got over it. "Instead, I'll vaporize him. It'll be a painless death." He said with a maniacal laugh.

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU KILL HIM!" He said as he quickly generated a large aura sphere and launched it towards them but the Houndoom blocked it from hitting their trainers, which in return, bounced towards the cage holding Rio.

The cage busted open on impact. "KILL BOTH OF THEM!" Trench said. The Houndoom launched towards Rio and Zen.

"Live your full life brother," Zen said with a small smile.

"What?" Rio questioned, but didn't get an answer. A blue aura surrounded him. 'What is he- Oh god! He's teleporting me away!' he thought. "NO! WAIT! WE CAN DEFEAT THEM TOGETHER! LET ME HELP!" Rio begged. The Houndoom were now closing in.

"They're too powerful, trust me. Those orbs have very strong dark powers. You need the mega stone lucarionite to cover the darkness with an unbreakable bond" Zen had tears rolling down his face now. "REMEMBER! FIND THE LUCARIONITE! IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE!" those were the last words Rio could hear from his brother before the Houndoom pounced, and began to tear him to shreds. Rio watched in horror. His brother had a smile on his face as his life was draining. He mouthed 4 last words. "I love you bro." then the orb containing Rio flashed, warping him to his cave.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Zell was in a state of shock from the story he just heard. Rio was too depressed to even cry after the story he'd just told. After a few moments the two of them decided to go for a walk but during it, nobody spoke until they returned back to the cave.

"I'm sorry about what happened to you Ri,o" said Zell sadly. "You have nothing to be sorry for. You had nothing to do with what went on" Rio said with a slight smile and then headed for his bed. Zell nodded and got into his own bed since neither one of them had offered to share one bed with the other "goodnight Rio." *yawn* "Good night Zell."

It was about 1 o'clock when Zell was awoken by a weird sound. It sounded like whimpering and a lot of movement. He slowly and tiredly got up and tried his best to navigate through the darkness of the cave toward the noise. After a few bumps into the walls, tripping over stuff, and almost falling into the water located in the middle of the cave he had finally reached the source, Rio.

Rio was murmuring, whimpering, and thrashing in his sleep. "RIO! WAKE UP! ITS JUST A DREAM! IT'S NOT REAL!" Zell yelled, shaking Rio. "ZEN NO!" he screamed when he finally awoke.

"Rio it's ok, it was just a dream" said Zell who comfortingly wrapped his arms around the panting and shaking Pokémon. "T-The dream was s-so r-rea,l" He said as he clung onto Zell. Again, no tears came. Just post-traumatic stress. Zell lied down on the bed still holding Rio tightly into his body, then, very gently began to stroke the Riolu's fur while gently whispering "It's okay. I'm here now. There's nothing to be afraid of."

And just as the two began to drift back to sleep again, Rio said: "Stay with me." Zell smiled and hugged him tighter "I will never leave you

The next morning was full of rain once more but luckily for Rio his mom had built a gutter like system to keep the cave from flooding. In fact, it wasn't just a gutter system; it was also a water purifier. There where filters in the gutters that any type of bacteria could never get past. The water would then run down into a deep hole that was hidden behind a boulder in the cave. The water filled it up, and then the gutters stopped allowing any more water to fill the already full hole.

"Why did your mom dig such a large hole?" asked Zell. "I don't really know. When I was born, it was already half way full, and even then it was hard to see down there" Rio said. "How deep do you think it is?" Zell asked Rio shrugged. Well, she told me it was 75 feet deep, but I think she was joking. But now that its full, I get to open a letter that she left me." He said. The letter was marked "Open when the hole has been filled to the top." Rio was exited. He had been waiting for this day to come. Slowly, he opened the letter.

"What does it say?" asked Zell. "All it says is… dive…" he said a little disappointed "What does she mean?" Rio asked. Zell laughed "Isn't it obvious? She wants you to swim to the bottom." Rio nodded. "Will you help me get there? I'm a great swimmer, but I'm not the best at holding my breath. Plus, I hear that most Buizel's have hidden gills that are able to turn water into oxygen."

Zell nodded "Yep I do their hidden in the black streaks on my face. Their so small, no one can see or feel them." Rio laughed "You really do learn something new every day."

Rio held on to Zell's waist. Zell smiled. "You ready?" Rio nodded. "Let's go." With that, Zell dove into the water, Rio holding on as tight as he could without hurting Zell. 10 feet-20-30. They were getting deeper and deeper. Rio began to lose his oxygen. Zell could sense this. He stopped and put his mouth on Rio's lips.

"Is he kissing me? Right here?" Rio thought, then he realized what the water type was doing. They weren't kissing; Zell was just giving him air. They were both blushing. Zell continued their descent.

45 feet-55-65-75. They had reached the bottom. Zell spotted an opening on the side of the wall and he quickly swam through it. It slowly climbed back up but ended around 25 feet. They had reached an opening.

Zell climbed out, Rio still on his back. What Rio and Zell saw next made them both gasp. They were in a large cave full of crystal structures of all colors. "WOW! This is unbelievable!" Rio said.

Zell was speechless. "Hey Rio, look at that" he said, pointing to a set of stairs, leading to a pillar. They approached the stairs and began to climb. Once they reached the top, they both spotted what appeared to be a blue orb. It hovered just above the floor. Suddenly, it projected a figure. What Rio saw next would live in his memory for the rest of his life. It was his mother.

"Who is that?" asked Zell.

"T-That's my m-mother." The hologram began to speak. "To my amazing, wonderful, loving son Rio. If you are seeing this, then that means there has been a lot of rain, and if there has been a lot of rain, then that means our legendary guardians of earth can sense danger. Only one out of the three orbs your brother Zen tried so hard to protect, as you very well remember, were real. The one that lays in front of you is the second one. We were never able to find the last orb, but if all three where to be collected, they will merge into one. This new orb will grant any holder the power of ultra-evolution. Unlike mega evolution, ultra multiplies your strength by 10,000. It is easy to control, but you will still need to have a strong bond. That's where you can help out Zell."

Rio and Zell looked at each other in confusion. "I know what you're thinking. How do I know Zell? Well, when I was alive, I met a wise Xatu that had the ability to look into the future. She told me that there was a very large risk of danger for my son and a Buizel that would be accompanying him. After that, I decided I needed to take action. I leave you with one last request. Please, find the other two orbs and save this beautiful planet. Goodbye son. I love you."

Then next few minutes were filled with silence, and then Rio picked up the orb. "Let's go back. We'll talk about this more tomorrow." Zell nodded.

Back in the regular room of the cave, they sat eating lunch. "This is a lot to take in." said Rio. Zell smiled. "But you don't have to go at this alone, because I'll be with you every step of the way." Rio blushed, leant forward and pressed his muzzle against Zell's, kissing him passionately. Zell, though surprised by the sudden reaction, accepted this, and began kissing back and even explored Rio's mouth with his then it all started spiraling out of control when Rio suddenly grasped Zell's manhood out of pure lust. A shocked Zell gently yet forcefully push Riolu back away from him.

"Rio what the hell was that!" Zell yelled. Rio looked down at the ground in shame "I-I'm sorry Zell I don't know what came over me." "I think I may have a theory...Listen Rio things have been going way to fast between us and I think I know why. I think it's because we were both afraid and lonely because we both lost the one person who's taken care of us for a really long time. We both needed someone to replace the people we lost so we found comfort in each other, do you understand Rio?" Rio nodded "yeah I get it...I guess you're right...I guess I was just trying to find a replacement...does this mean our relationship is over?" he said the last part in a sad tone of voice and looked down at the ground. Zell walked over to him and slowly lifted his chin

"Of course not Rio, I just think we should slow things down and really get to know one another before jumping into things, Ok?" Zell said with a smile.

Rio nodded and smiled as Zell leaned in and kissed him on the cheek "ok Zell."
