hello my amazingful people! welcome to my pokemon fanfic! I like to make the stories more ours than mine, so please tell me what pokemon you want to be on the team, who you want Josiah(the trainer, but you'll find out more about that later.) to fight. and if you have your own pokemon OC or you play pokemon, send me a team, and I'll have him fight them, probably, and no, I won't have him automatically win. and I say probably because, if you give a team of all legendaries or something, of course he's gonna lose. so enjoy the chapter.

"Josiah you lazy ass, get up!" a voice yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"ugh, what the hell do you want!? you know it's my sleep-in day!" Josiah yelled back down as he slammed his pillow over his head.
"there's some chick here to see you! though I don't know why any reasonable girl would want to see you!"
"Vanessa, stop bullying your brother! now son, wake up!"
"fine!" he slopped out of bed and pulled on his usual outfit: blue jeans, with a white undershirt and a red and black denim jacket. "damn sister, acting all high-and-mighty just because she has a pokemon partner and I don't. yeesh, I swear she probably stole her from some ex-boyfriend." he muttered as he forced his arms through the sleeves.
"I heard that!" Vanessa yelled up. "and I'll have you know none of my ex's even had an ekans!"
"yeah, right, you have so many I lost track, sorry." Josiah yelled down, the sarcasm and wrath dripping from him.
"you…! when you get down here you are so fucking dead!"
"Vanessa!"
"it's a figure of speech!"
"my god." Josiah shook his head as he walked down, his black hair still uncombed and horrid looking.

"hey there Josiah." a pretty blonde girl was standing at the doorway, a skitty sitting next to her.
"fuck, I must be dreaming." he pinched himself, his skin becoming red.
"yeah, I know right?" Vanessa said, drinking some unknown liquid from a plastic bottle. I'm not gonna say it's alcohol, but it was probably alcohol.
"so, what do you want?" Josiah asked, ignoring his sister.
"oh, um, well, I saw that you never went to anyones house or anything. so, I thought I'd ask you to take a walk." she said, shuffling her foot, her high-heels clacking on the floor as she looked into his green eyes.
"oh, sure, why not." he grabbed a cup of cold coffee off the counter and slammed the door behind them.

"so, um, do you have a partner?" the girl, who had said her name was Erica, asked while they walked into the woods near town.
"nah, there was a grimer in the sewer once, but other than that, you don't run into many wild pokemon at home." he said shrugging.
"well, why don't you leave the house once in a while?" Erica asked as skitty jumped onto her shoulders.
"because it's much more interesting at home, where you don't don't run into assholes, outside Vanessa that is." he pulled out a switchblade and began flicking it in and out.
"but you never meet any, well, nice people." Erica said, putting her hand against a tree as they walked.
"yeah, I'll just stick with the internet, thanks." he said, carving his initials into a bench.
"hey, that's not just your bench!" Erica looked astonished that anyone would do something like that.
"why not? me and you'll be the only ones who know." he shrugged and carved the name out, leaving almost no trace. "there, happy?"
"yes, thank you." Skitty jumped from her shoulders to Josiah's and hung there like a purring scarf.
"get your fucking cat off me." he said, his tone unchanging.
"aw, but that means he trusts you." she clicked her tongue and Skitty jumped back to her shoulders.
"well he has very poor judgement." he said as he sat down next to a tree and began whittling a stick to a point.
"well, as cold as you like to act, I think you're probably a sweety underneath all that." she said as she sat next to him, scratching Skitty's ears. "and his names Spear you know. I named him after Shakespeare."
"well, that's a really tough name, for a wimpy pokemon."
"aw, don't say that, he's as strong as an arcanine, you just need to give him love. don't I Spear?" she pet his as she smiled down.
"wow, I didn't know you were into that." he said, his tone almost robotic as always.
"huh? what, no!" she said glaring at him in the first show of anything but bubbliness. "I love him like a son!"
"alright, no need to get offended." he shook his head and grinned as he thought about just what he did on the internet.
"well then, should we head back? cold coffee isn't enough for breakfast."
"nah, I don't eat much." he shrugged and sat back, almost laying down, as he began whistling.
"is that the anthem of lavender town? in Kanto?"
"yeah, I like it. but they changed it after they got rid of the tower. shame too, it was the only place for the deceased, a haven really." he said and got back to his tune.
she chuckled "I knew you had a heart." she lay back as well and they just sat there.

"so, do you even have any friends?" Erica asked when he was done.
"nah, don't need them, I have myself, my computer, that's all I need."
"grrrrruff!" a houndour showed up and looked at them like a lillipup at a treat.
"what!" Erica shouted out, startling Spear. "Spear, use double slap!"
"mrrr!" Spear shot forward and hit the houndour before he was knocked sideways by a firefang, his leg twisted and Erica trying to keep him awake.
"ggrrrruuu!" the houndour tuned to Josiah and went forward.
"stop!" Josiah said, his voice deepening, and his eyes becoming pitch black, his feet leaving the ground.
the houndour whimpered and backed away, his ears back and tail tucked under him.
"come here!" the houndour quietly edged forward.
"you belong to me now, resist, and may a thousand typhoons rage upon you!" he shouted and he fell down, and landed face-first.
"what was that!" Erica yelled as she came over and helped him up, Spear having a potion soaking in to help heal his burns.
"what was what?" Josiah asked as he got up and shook his head.
"grr." houndour came forward and seemed to be exposing his neck, like he was accepting Josiah as pack leader, even though he was a loner.
"um, well, you know what, it's nothing, I was probably just not paying attention. but, the houndour seems to want to come with you." she said, reaching down to pet the fire dog, before he snapped at her, almost biting her finger off.
"you know, I learned about houndour once, in an online article. they don't like being touched by those outside their pack. since he was loner, and he apparently made me pack leader, he doesn't want you to touch him." he reached down and pet the houndour, with no resistance.
"it seems so." Erica said, laughing.
"alright, apparently he's not leaving, not without me anyways. I might as well name him. I'll call him Devil, seems fitting." he stood up and started walking to walk back to town. "hey Erica, you comin'?"
"sure!" Erica followed him as they walked back.

"so then, I'm gonna head in. see ya, you'll probably come back no matter what I say anyways, I might as well be ready." Josiah and Devil walked inside, Josiah grabbed a cold pizza out of the fridge and a raw steak for Devil and they went upstairs.
"so Devil, let's check ya out, huh?" he flipped him over and began checking for wounds. "well nothing wrong with ya, you're good." he flipped back around and began gnawing on the meat. while Josiah ate the pizza.

"hey josiah your bitch is back!" Vanessa called up.
"oh shut up, I wouldn't fuck her if we were the last two people on earth! I'd rather get buttfucked by a nidoking!" he fell out of bed, got dressed and, along with Devil, went downstairs.
"hey there Josiah!" Erica said, cheerful as ever. Josiah wasn't sure if she'd not heard him or if she wanted to ignore it. "so, I was thinking. you never leave the house, I wanted some adventure." she smiled, and looked like she wanted him to finish.
"so you want him to be your pimp?" laughed out Vanessa.
"no! I wanted to go a Pokemon adventure with him!" she said, showing them two backpacks, one matching each of their outfits.
"okay, whatever, let me go get my laptop." he went upstair, grabbed his laptop and his few articles of clothing and came back down. "see ya later mom, see ya you whore."
"bye honey, don't forget to send me an email!"
"see ya cunt!"

"I see why you dislike your sister." Erica said as they left town, Devil and Spear apparently talking behind them.
"yeah, she's a bitch, but you get used to it. but to be honest why do you think I was so ready to leave? you may be an over cheerful sissy, but that's better than them." he shrugged.
"so, um, are you gonna say sorry for trying to eat me?" asked Spear.
"why the fuck would I do that? I was hungry, and you're tiny. you may not know how things work outside your trainers careful hands; but in the real world, bigger things eat smaller things."
"yeah, but now we're travelling together, so we should become friends."
"haha! no. listen, my pack leader is hanging out with yours, that's it. if you guys join the pack, then we'll see, but until then, no."
"what do you think they're talking about back there?" Erica asked as she listen to them.
"I don't know and I don't care."
"why not?"
"easy, I don't. I'm not some kinda pokewhisperer and I don't wanna be." he took a massive gulp of water and shot some into Devil's mouth.
"fine, why did you make Josiah your pack leader though?"
"easy, he's scary as fuck, and strong. you may have been writhing in pain, so you didn't notice, but he looked ready to kill me; you don't fuck with that. I happened to get lucky enough for him to accept me as a pack member. we were both loners, so it works."
"what do you think they're talking about?"
"I dunno, and I don't care."

"so, um, if he only likes pack members, then, maybe I could join your pack?"
"sure, why the fuck not? bend your neck." she did as he said and he pushed her to the ground.
"huh, it looks like she's part of the pack. since you're her bitch I guess that includes you."
"alright, you're part of the pack. I don't know why you wanted to be though, seems kinda stupid." Erica just smiled and pet Devil.
"my god, she's annoying."
"what? why's that? she's being nice to you."
"maybe you couldn't tell, but I don't particularly care." Devil shook his head before they set up a camp.

"so, what do you like to do, you know, for fun?" Erica asked as they ate dinner.
"whatever the fuck I want." Josiah said, meat juice dripping down his chin.
"really, you pig. I'm so glad I'm not a guy." Erica said as she passed his a napkin.
"hey, I usually eat whatever's leftover. that shit doesn't drip." Josiah said wiping off the grease, for more to drip down the next bite. "so, what do you do?"
"oh, I like to play with Spear, and I like to battle with him." she said as she delicately ate her food.
"huh, that's kinda cool." Josiah threw a bone to Devil and sat back against a tree.
"bone! yes!" yelled Devil as he got read to gnaw.
"but, Josiah was just eating that." Spear said, shuddering.
"so? it's still got meat on it. don't waste after all." he gnawed off a strip of meat, flinging it to get it in.
"ugh, that was disgusting." Spear licked his paw and cleaned off the juice.
"ah, shut it sissy." Devil grinned and used ember on the bone, char broiling the meat.
"honestly, I don't see what miss Erica sees in your 'pack'"
"let's get some sleep, we can have a battle in the morning, see how you can do." Erica smiled and went into her tent, Josiah heading into his own.

alright, day 1, complete. I'll give you what moves each knows and their nature, though that one should be obvious, here, though if nothing changes, that would be kinda stupid. and no, moves are not limited to four, though moves will be made harder to learn.

Spear:
nature: jolly
moves: double slap
growl

Devil:
nature: adamant
moves: fire fang
ember

and with that, I hope you enjoyed. if you did would you kindly follow and favorite? and please leave a review.
