And this is my first fanfiction, I had thought for a while. Not everything will be exactly the same, enjoy.

I do not own pokemon.


1.-The beginning

The rays of the sun awakened a pokemon snake , her scales illuminated by light. The Snivy awoke with a yawn, rubbed her brown eyes and rose from her grass bed. She walked towards her window feeling the sea breeze brushing against her face, the morning air waking her up. Her house was located on a sharpedo-shaped cliff, it was one of the things she loved in her house, she also liked the sea. The jaws of the cliff gave her the perfect panoramic view of the sea. Snivy smiled sadly, knowing that if the plan he had for today ended up being a success, he would not see this place in days. Snivy took the strange stone that had been found a few days ago, looking at the design that was engraved on the surface. She stopped at the foot of the stairs that led to the exit of her house, giving a last look at the place where she had lived these last months. Finally she left for Treasure Town.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dawn was just breaking, she ran quickly through the deserted streets towards her destination. A long time ago she had arrived in that town with the idea of registering and being an apprentice in the guild, since she was a child had liked to fight and the opportunity to help pokemon in danger seemed exciting to her. Although there was a flaw in her plan, she could not stand the presence of others, she wanted to do things on her own and everyone in town knew of her great distrust. Despite this Snivy loved her own loneliness.

She did not know that this day her life would change forever.

She walked determinedly towards the Wigglytuff's Guild, with her head held high. She looked at the establishment a little hesitant, as soon as she enter there would be no going back.

- Is the time. - she said to herself, as she squeezed in her hand stone, it made her feel strong.

But the thought of having to socialize with several unfamiliar and extroverted Pokémon made her hesitate, Snivy frowned as she examined her talisman. With a sigh she turned around and walked away angry ... she did not know she had been watched.

- Did you see what she had?.- said a voice in a hiss

- It sure is something valuable, the boss will love to see it.- answered another voice, with a serious laugh


Snivy passed through the village with a serious face, several pokémon knew her but very few spoke to her. And she was not in the mood to put up with others, especially after she gave up on the idea of registering.

- Hi, Snivy. - Two Kecleon greeted, she just raised her hand in a dry greeting.

- Hey, how are you going? - said a Leavanny when he saw her pass, Snivy answered with a serious '' hello ''

Snivy thought that everyone wanted to annoy her, they saw her in a bad mood and they insisted on greeting her, she believed that nothing could be worse, until ...

- Snivy!.- she growled quietly, did not need to turn to see who was, none other than Pansage, the only one being blind enough to be infatuated with her.

He always talked to her, greeted her and sometimes gave her things, that irritated her. She try to get away but Pansage had already reached her. Snivy would have wanted to slam him on the ground, cut him with her Leaf blade or send him flying with a Leaf Tornado, but with the presence of so many pokemon around her she did not dare, what she wanted least was to make a unnecessary scandal.

- You look pretty good today, as always- He said in that tone that she hated so much. - I thought about inviting you to lunch. Would not you like to spend time with someone important?

- Maybe another day.- She answered angry.

- Three months ago I'm waiting for that other day. - Pansage advanced and tried to put an arm around her, but she thought better of it when she saw the murderous look she was throwing at him.

- Do not come near me.- she growled in a whisper furious.- If you try, I'll kill you.

That was true ... half. Snivy was not interested in finding a couple, what he needed least was to see a stupid Pansage following her everywhere.

Snivy turned around and fled to the beach, fast so he would not follow her. At that moment she hated everything, from her own cowardice for join the guild until the unbearable Lillipup who passed by her side barking. She continued on her way without noticing the pokemon type poison that followed her.


Snivy stopped in front of the shore of the beach, breathing the salty air and hearing the sound of the cawing of the wingulls. She allowed a smile to slide down her mouth, for the first time in the day she felt happy. She descended to the seashore, the waves breaking against her feet. she ran her hand over them, enjoying the sensation of water running between her fingers, she wished her problems would disappear in the same way. Snivy looked up at the sky, enjoying the view of the bubbles that the Krabby created.

"Coming here relaxes me" she thought looking at the sky "For a moment I forget about the world and its problems"

Suddenly an Air cutter hit, Snivy rolled on the sand before getting up immediately to see who was her attacker, a Zubat looked at her mockingly, flapping him wings in front of her. Before she managed to counterattack a Gyro ball impact her in the back, making her fall on the wet sand, Snivy jumped, dodging Poison Fang by a few inches. Zubat rose in the air spitting earth while Koffing laughed.

- Zubat, even this viper is faster than you.- he said, mocking his accomplice, then his attention was diverted to Snivy.- Come on, little one, give us the stone you have, do not try to deceive us, we have already seen it and we follow you from the guild.

Snivy hissed menacingly, she would not let them take away her relic, apart she was eager to fight. She was not afraid, she was a powerful pokemon. She turned on her heels pretending she was going to flee, when she felt them approaching her she turned again, using Aqua Tail directly on both of them. Snivy couldn't help but smile, for this she was born, to fight. Zubat and Koffing got up, with the anger drawn on their faces, contrasting the peaceful landscape.

- I'm waiting for you.-She scoffed, raising her head as she tucked the stone between her neck and the curved yellow structure that came out of her shoulder..- Or do you only attack when your opponent is running away?

Zubat took flight rising, Snivy did not follow it with the glance knowing that he wanted to blind her with the shine of the sun. She focused on Koffing, ready to dodge an attack from him. Koffing immediately spat several Sludge towards her. Snivy jumped dodging the attack, then she went into a dive using Leaf blade. Kofing managed to retreat, avoiding the attack that hit where he had been a few seconds ago. Snivy seemed to see out of the corner of her eye a blue flash, she turned around dodging Zubat who was flying towards her using Air Slash. He finally crashed into Koffing, falling with him into the sand, the two pokemon stayed on the ground, breathing with difficulty.

- Seriously? I didn't think they were so weak, I expected more from some Pokemon type poison.- she approached them, haughty and proud.- I would have liked a more difficult fight.

At that moment Zubat got up suddenly, Snivy did not have time to dodge the Aerial ace with which he attacked her. She fell to the ground, hurt by the sudden attack, Zubat flew back to her, Snivy jumped back to dodge, later realized that he was not going to her but to her stone which was lying in the middle of the sand.

- We have it.- said Koffing.- now let's get out.

Snivy tried to attack them, but Koffing had used Smokescreen. She coughed as she tried to see something through the smoke, growled to herself angry for having relied on the fight. Snivy jumped and used Leaf Tornado to disperse the smoke, at best maybe he would also hit those cheating guys. She landed perfectly, looking around, although there was no trace of them. Suddenly she detected them, like two points fleeing towards a cave, she immediately ran towards them. Snivy had learned not to be trampled on by anyone. The snake ran along the seashore, forgetting the bubbles and the sound of the Wingull, all her calm had disappeared.

She had reached the rocky area but was skilled enough not to fall. Suddenly she stumbled, her leg hit something and she crashed to the ground. She got up shaking the sand, angry with the rocks, with Zubat and Koffing, with herself and with all the calm that was around her. She looked at where she stumbled in anger, but her expression changed, her eyes widened in surprise.

A pokemon was lying among the rocks, waves came and wet his fur, had a wound on his forehead like a blow.

- My Arceus, can not be! - exclaimed as she approached. Snivy knelt beside the Oshawott, shaking him.- Hey wake up, are you okay?

The Oshawott babbled something unintelligible, suddenly his eyes opened slightly. He fixed himself for a moment on Snivy, then his gaze began to explore the surroundings, entering panic with every minute that passed.

- What happened? Where I am?

- What were you doing there! - She shouted angrily.- I thought you were dead.

Oshawott looked at her scared, as if she were something strange, then he pulled away from her crawling screaming terrified. Snivy for a moment was scared of his reaction, even so she managed to remain calm.

- It can not be, a pokémon that speaks!.-He spoke with a trickle of voice, part scared, part impressed.

'' He's crazy, '' Snivy thought. That seemed like a joke in bad taste.

- What kind of creature are you?- Snivy did not care if she was being rude, patience was never one of her virtues.- You also speak and you are pokémon!

Oshawott for a second was speechless, frowning at what she had just said. He raised his hands to his face looking at them as the panic reappeared in his face. He ran straight to the sea, when a wave came to him he managed to look at his own reflection. Then he screamed again, so loud that Snivy had to cover her ears, he started running scared on all sides, screaming desperate at the neutral look of Snivy.

- What happened to me? What am I going to do ?! - He shouted at the floor in a dramatic gesture.

- You're a Oshawott weird... - Snivy approached him hesitantly.

- I'm not an Oshawott, I'm a human!.- he answered immediately turning to her.

Snivy wanted to laugh, he had released the lie (It must have been a lie) with such ease that any fool would have believed it. thinking that Oshawott was a good actor or a con man.

- Really? - she said incredulous, deciding to play along.- What a surprise, something like this is almost never seen here, I'm Snivy. And what is your name, human?

- My name is Esko.- said Oshawott looking at her a little leery.

Both were silent, and awkward silence began to emerge. Snivy remembered her relic.

- Well, it's good to meet you.- Snivy turned around, ready to run in search of the thieves.- I have to go.

- Wait!- exclaimed Esko, Snivy looked at him and he walked towards her hesitantly and with the head low, he looked up in a silent supplication.- I can go with you? do not leave me here, you're the only one I know and ... this ... well ... I have nowhere to go.

Esko could see how she analyzed him with her cold brown eyes fearing that she would run away and leave him there. He felt that he could trust her even if it was a Snivy, he calmed down to see her smile.

- Okay, I do not see why not, I'll help you if you help me.- she explained.- My relic was stolen.

- Yes, I will do it.- Esko sighed in relief.

- Follow me.- Snivy said before running, although she stopped when she saw that Esko was having trouble walking.- What's happening to you?

He only took two steps before falling on his face, although Snivy caught him before he hit the ground. Snivy felt somewhat uncomfortable having the Oshawott in her arms.

- It's hard, I have very short paws.- Esko pulled away from her while regaining his balance.

- Do not worry, I'll help you Esko.- Snivy said, surprised at herself for her kindness. "Maybe I'm finally understanding the others, if I continue like this I will soon join the Wigglytuff´guild", she thought proud.

She put her arm around his shoulders to help him, in a few minutes Esko had already adapted to his new way of walking.

- You learn really fast.- she commented while releasing him, Snivy was surprised to see him look at her confused.- Now that I said?

Esko frowned and hit him forehead as if trying to remember something. Snivy felt sorry to see the frustration reflected on his face.

- I seem to have heard that elsewhere.- he explained, then he made a gesture with his hand.- Forget it, let's find your relic


Esko was not sure how he had ended up lying on that beach. He did not even remember who he was.

Or what he was.

Or where he came from.

But, that he was once a human, of that if he was sure. He had only one last memory in his mind, a pain in his head and several desperate cries coming from a voice that he completely ignored. Although he tried to strain his mind to remember that it had happened before that, everything was in vain, the only thing he remembered was a gray flash and a thunderous roar. Esko had not said anything to the Snivy, who seemed to think he was crazy. He was grateful that she allowed him to accompany him, at first glance she had looked like a frivolous pokemon, despite that Esko noticed that her kindness increased with the confidence. Snivy looked like a nice girl and he could not stop trusting her, even though he barely knew her.

The only thing that worried him was how he could help, he had no idea how to attack if the occasion came. Anyway Esko was willing to help in any way he could, he should return the favor to Snivy, if she had not woken him up, perhaps another less understanding pokemon would have awakened him, or in the worst case left him abandoned.

- I'm sure they came in here.- her voice interrupted his thoughts. Esko had only trotted after her, had not realized that they had reached a cave.

The waves roamed the sand at the entrance while licking the rock walls, each time broke back leaved the entrance free of water. By the marks of erosion it was obvious that the waves covered the ground completely when there was high tide, leaving the cave inaccessible to anyone. Esko thought it was a bad place to hide, even so, Snivy did not seem to flinch.

- Why does that relic mean so much to you?- Esko asked, trying to disguise his denial to enter the cave. Snivy looked down and answered in a low voice inspired.

- Esko, that stone is special for me ... when I have it, I feel... calm.- A smile danced for a moment in her mouth.- I would not know how to explain to you, it has a symbol engraved on its surface, I'm sure it means something.- The decision in her eyes was almost palpable.- and I'll find out.

He was inspired by her words, he could not help but feel a deep respect towards that pokemon who was not intimidated by anything. Esko would have wanted to have that same courage. He followed her into the cave, to his surprise it was not dark, the roof had several holes that let in the light, they were accompanied by the dripping water that fell from the stalactites. Suddenly Snivy raised her arm and told him to stop. At first Esko did not understand why she did it, until he heard voices.

- Are you sure it means something? Surely not even that snivy knew what this design was.- Snivy and Esko approached slowly, trying not to make noise as they walked.

- Zubat, understand me, that the stone has this symbol is not coincidence. This must find something valuable, a treasure without any doubt.

Snivy hid behind a rock, followed closely by Esko, who did not take his eyes off the pokemon type poison.

- It's them, the thieves.- Snivy said to Esko in a furious whisper.- I hate thieves, they are despicable beings.

- We can win against them?- Esko asked, with a slight hesitation in his voice. He felt himself shrink when Snivy glared at him.- I-I me-ean they have an advantage of type over you, and I do not fight like a pokemon, I'm a human ... or I was.

Her expression did not change in the slightest, Esko was uncomfortable with not knowing what she was thinking. Snivy sighed, as she leaned over the rock, watching Zubat and Koffing.

- I suppose you'll be able to throw a Water Gun without problems, it's a basic attack.- she said, as if she had not heard his objections.- I'm sure they'll think I came alone, so when they least expect it, you'll soak them, okay?

He did not even have time to reply to her, she came out from behind the rock with surprising agility and speed for her size. The two pokemon did not have time to react, she hit them with a Vine whip. In spite of the blow Zubat continued with the Snivy´s relic in his mouth, without releasing it. Esko stayed behind the rock and tried to form the attack that Snivy had instructed him to do.

- Come on.- Esko said to himself, concentrating. While the sounds of battle sounded behind him.- I can do it, it's an easy attack.

He took a breath and tried to make the attack, instead of the expected Water gun, a lot of bubbles floated before him. Again he tried, but got the same result. He frowned and tried again, at least he would settle for a weak strand of water. A feminine scream took him out of his attempts. He poked his head above the rock. Snivy had his relic, but Zubat's Air Cutter had shattered a stalactite, leaving Snivy trapped. Despite the circumstances the girl had a brave look, seeming ready to not give up.

- Now would be a good time!- she exclaimed, and Esko knew that she spoke to him.

Without stopping to think about it, he decided to attack with that simple Bubble, even if only to gain time. In a single jump he stood on the rock and shot, each and every one of the bubbles hited the subjects, who turned slowly to see their attacker. The attack might not be very strong, but he managed to get the attention of Zubat and Koffing to him. At that moment Esko wanted the earth to swallow him, to distract two beasts was one thing, but to maintain a fight with them, another. He barely noticed that Snivy had freed himself and with one leap he was hitting with Leaf blade several stalactites located on the pokemon.

Seeing the structures fall, Esko immediately threw himself away from there, heard how the sharp stones crashed against the ground, what surprised and frightened him at the same time was the fact of not hearing the slightest moan. He stayed static, afraid to turn around and see the worst. He almost jumped when a hand landed on his shoulder.

- Quiet human.- said that voice that he knew very well, then added as if reading his mind.- they are not dead.

Esko finally had the courage to turn, in front of him was Snivy, with her confident smile, and behind her Zubat and Koffing surrounded by several stalactites that had fallen around them enclosing them.

- Thanks you, do you still think you're human?.- the viper said, with irony in every gesture.- Let's get out of here Esko

He nodded, somewhat stunned following her where he had entered.

- You will regret snake! - the two pokemon pison type shouted, moving inside their cell.


The two were walking along the beach in the direction of Treasure Town. The only thing that worried Esko was that he would do it after he separated from Snivy, the two would take different paths and he did not have the slightest memory of who he was.

- I appreciate your help.- said Snivy.- surely if you had not distracted them I would not have been able to recover my relic, look.

She showed him the stone, Esko had not paid much attention to the rock, but when she saw it close up she saw the engraving that made it special. It had a flourish design on one of its faces.

- It is very cute.- he opined, although he realized something.

He had seen that engraving on another side... but where?. His reaction did not go unnoticed by Snivy.

- Is something the matter?.- she asked, clearly not understanding why Esko's surprise.

- Ah, no, nothing happens.- Esko said, although he knew that his hesitation was evident, he decided to mention something else that worried him.- Well, what happens is that I do not know where I'm going now.

Snivy's calculating eyes analyzed him, as if trying to find a solution to his problem. She whispered something about telling Sheriff Magnezone, but she immediately shut up. Esko understood that it would be very complicated to explain the appearance of a oshawott amnesiac fainted on the beach, who claimed to be a human. Although suddenly an excited look shone on her face.

- Of course, as I did not think before.- exclaimed the Snivy, excited.- Do you want to join the Wigglytuff's Guild with me?

- I join the Wiggly-what?.- he repeated, without understanding.

- Wigglytuff's Guild. Yes.- she said nodding.- We could be partners, I would teach you to behave like a pokemon and you would accompany me among other people. Normally I do not get along with them, but you are very nice. Human or not, if you are someone you trust.

- Do you believe me that I am a human?

- A little.- Snivy chuckled.- But anyway I think we would make a perfect duo.- she became solemn again, regaining her serious composure.- Well, what do you think, accept?

Esko allowed a smile to form in his mouth, nodded excited.

- I accept, I have nowhere to go after all. Really, thanks.

- Do not thank me, that's what friends do.- explained Snivy.- Come on, we do not have time to waste

He followed her up the cliff, while the sun shone in all its splendor in the middle of the sky.


He woke up immediately, in the middle of a clearing in the forest. He rubbed his head, he had crashed into a tree. As he looked around he noticed the colors in the landscape, he had never seen them, he saw how a group of Starly plowed through the sky, unconcerned about what could happen. He thought full of nostalgia that, since he was born, not once, had been as happy as at that moment. the wind caressing his face and the sun falling on him was pleasant and comforting, he was now willing not to fail ... Although he realized something.

He did not know how long he had been unconscious, he should not be distracted, should stop that pokemon, always the pokemon found a way to locate him. Soon he would arrive.

Suddenly he look around, with the panic reflected in his eyes although nobody could see it. Where was Esko? They should be in the same place. He could not risk calling him, where would his friend be?

He remembered fleetingly the last time he saw him, remembered the wound on his temple ... and if indeed his friend was dead? Would not he have endured the wound?

He felt a strange pain at the thought of that, now he was alone, in an unknown place. He breathed trying to calm down, he did not have time for self-pity, he had to prevent that pokemon from fulfilling his goal.


Changes

1.- I changed the name of Oshwel's character to Esko, I think the reasons why I did it are obvious.

2.- I added more description to the environment, trying to give more depth to the story.
