Hey people, I'm Lamosamo67 and I'm here with a new Fic of mine. I said in my other story (The beautiful people) that I'd be doing this story, which is a take of The pack of destiny and life which is by an amazing fellow named Imperator2. He says he took the fic from a story called packmaster. I'm taking that Idea, and spinning it. It'll be similar in some ways (like human taking over a pokemon pack and day to day life) but I'll have some differences. I'm always looking for suggestions and criticism. Well, Let us begin this fic which I have entitled, Live together Die together.

Characters:

Bryan Koff (unrelated to Jake from my other fic) Age 20. Male. Living in the northern outskirts of Laverre down, Kalos. No pokemon. 5'8", brown hair, pale skin.

I decided that enough was enough, and that I'd go for a walk. I had been sitting in front of my computer for the past hour, writing a book that I was working on. I lived alone and on the northern outskirts of Laverre town, in the northernmost parts of Kalos. I set my laptop off to the side of me, back onto the bed which I was sitting on and writing. I stood up and stretched my arms, then my back, and finally my legs. I walked out of my bedroom door, which led into my kitchen. I opened the fridge to find it almost empty. *Sigh* "Being broke sucks. I just wish I'd hear back from the publishers. They've had my draft for a month at least, and I need the money. I'm broke. I have one thing worth anything major, but I'm not selling this thing for the world."

I pulled out a small, white orb that looked like a pearl, only it was about two inches in diameter and it bent under pressure. I knew something would happen if it broke. I just wasn't sure what. I put it back and decided that I'd give myself a mental break from writing, and go out for a walk. I opened my door, and was blinded by the late afternoon sunlight. I'd been in the artificial light of my lights and laptop for almost a day straight. I blinked and squinted for a minute until my eyes got used to the sudden change in light, then I went on my way. I knew of a trail leading north of town that would take me on a hike. "I need the break"I muttered toi myself as I took off towards my trail.

I reached the beginning of my trail and walked in. "I love this path. You see so many odd pokemon here. Things that you don't see anywhere else or nowhere near here. I've sat here for hours just watching the pokemon work and do whatever they do. Some stand there and watch me, some wander around, enjoying the day, and some look for food." I muttered to myself, just enjoying the sunlight and crisp, fresh air. "This place is so far from any major town, the air stays clean. And being cold up here, the air is beautiful" I thought with a smile as I walked deeper into the woods.

After half an hour, I began to grow tired and decided to sit down on a fallen log. Around me was a clearing of pine trees, and bright blue flowers. I looked to see if there were any of those near enough to me so that I could smell one. I found one growing behind the log and I picked it and smelled it. "Mmm, smells like everything that I loved about my mother." I muttered to myself, getting lost in my memories of my mother before she passed. An image of her came to mind, tall and slender, along with brown hair, and bright green eyes. She always wore a yellow and white striped shirt which had a tear forming in the armpit. I thought of the shirt fondly until I heard a twig snap behind me. I snapped out of my daydream and back into reality and I spun around to where the sound was coming from and I saw a Lucario standing there, looking angry. I pushed the button on my ear, turning on my pokemon translator so that I could talk my way out of whatever situation I had worked myself into.

"What do you want? I can understand you with this thing in my ear so talk freely if you wish" I said, keeping the conversation in his favor, to try and make him less angry. The Lucario spoke in a deep voice, and in a tone that suggested that he seemed bored and almost upset. "I don't want to do this, but our leader wishes you dead. You've trespassed on our territory many times. I'll at least give you the right to fair combat. I believe it is only fair." said the Lucario, as he took a battle stance. "Wait, can I speak to your leader, whoever that is? If he's upset at me, I'd like to explain to him and apologize." I asked him, knowing that Lucarios were intelligent pokemon. "Hmm, I can request that. I cannot promise you won't die a painful death when you walk in there though. He may strike you down on the spot without listening, or he may just tell you to leave and not return. We shall see. Wait here. I will go to him and ask. If you leave before that, you'll be dead the second you return. Understood?" finished the Lucario, I nodded my head and sat back down. "Good, I'll be back." he said as he walked back into the trees, and dissapeared from the underbrush in seconds.

"Oh god, what have I done now?" I asked myself, terrified of the prospect of meeting some sort of pokemon leader. I sat there for a few minutes, heart racing and sweating despite it being 50 degrees (farenheight, not celsius). Every little noise sounded like he was coming back, and every movement looked like him. I sat there paranoid for a few more minutes until a loud crunch in front of me signalled his return. He walked out and nodded. "He says he's willing to try and talk. I had to convince him so good luck. You will not be permitted to know where it is so I'm going to knock you out, and I will bring you there." he said and before I could react, he lunged forward and landed a punch on my head, and everything turned to black.

I woke up an unknown amount of time later to an Audino looking at my wound on my head. "Wha? What's going on?" I said and the Audino jumped back in shock. "He's awake. Thorn, release him. Get Fer." she said and I felt a pressure release on my arms and legs. I had been restrained without even realizig it. I turned my head and saw an Ivysaur standing there retracting his vines and walking out. The Audino followed and they both walked out of a door and I realized that I was in a room. I looked around and saw that the walls, floor, and celing were dirt. "I'm underground?" I thought to myself and I looked back at the door to see the Lucario from earlier standing there. "Get up. I'm taking you to him." he said and I stood up and walked over to him. He grabbed my upper arm like a mother scolding a small child and walked me through a series of halls and past rooms until he stopped me. "In here" he said, and he tossed me into a room on the left of the hall.

I fell into the room and looked up without getting up to see a large, angry looking Feraligatr standing there, along with about 5 other pokemon behind him, just silently watching. I stood up and bowed to the Feraligatr. "You have requested to see me?" he asked in a voice deeper than the Lucarios. I stood there shaking for a few seconds before I replied. "Yes, I have. Why do you want me dead?" I asked, having other questions, but saving them for when there was no chance of death. "You've been on our territory too many times. you're a threat. And if it's coming to this, I'll deal with you myself. You're ignorant and you ignore our warnings. I'll dispose of you myself. But thanks to the help of Ka here, I'm becoming better at controlling myself so I'll give you a fair fight." said the Feraligatr, gesturing to the Lucario, who was apparently named Ka. "Ok, If I have no choice. I accept." I said, knowing that I'd be dead by the time this was over.

I was brought to a bigger, open room, and I was told to wait at one side while the Feraligatr, named Fer, took his place. "I'll give you first move. Go." said Fer as soon as he made it to the other side of the room. I put my hands on my hips, and pushed in to stretch my muscles for the fight, and I felt a crack against my skin in my right pocket. "Shit" I said as I decided to worry about it later, if I was still alive then. Fer was standing and looking at me with a look of curiosity and shock. I looked down at my pocket and saw my pocket glow with a blue hue. I felt an odd sensation on my leg, not unlike when your leg falls asleep and it begins to tingle. The sensation spread up and down my leg, then to the rest of my body, as I began to glow from whatever effect the broken orb was having. The feeling stopped abruptly, and the glowing stopped. I looked back at Fer who was standing there, looking at me, unsure as to what was happening. And I felt myself grow stronger. Fer became highlighted, and I decided to try and focus on him, to see what else I could do. I saw a part that was a different shade of the red that he was highlighted in. I put my hand forward, and began walking towards him, finally starting the fight.

I walked towards him, and he cracked his back and did the same. I felt something weird in my outstretched arm, and I saw a blue pulse leave it. Fer's eyes opened wide and he dove to the side, trying to avoid whatever I had just produced. But. It followed him. The orb collided with him and he went backwards about ten feet and collided with the wall, and the pokemon behind him scattered, all of them with looks of awe and surprise on their faces. I looked at my hands and then I looked at Ka, who was standing at the door, watching the whole event unfold. He was looking at me with a curious expression and I ignorewd him, for now. I heard a shout from the Feraligatr on the ground. "Ka, end him!" he shouted and I looked back at him, ready to defend myself. "No, I have witnessed you lose in single combat. You are no longer able to give me orders." replied Ka, and Fer's tired eyes turned to rage. "No, you can't do this. I AM YOUR LEADER!" he shouted and pushed himself off of the ground, with great difficulty. He stood up and charged a punch, but Ka sprinted from his point at the door, and faster that I could blink, he had run to Fer and landed a punch on him, knocking him out.

"Well, new leader what should be done about him?" asked Ka, turning to me. I furrowed my eyebrows at him, throughly confused. "What do you mean leader? You just tried to murder me! And then he did!" I shouted and Ka stood fast, not moving. "I'm sorry. I can explain." he said and I gestured to him to continue. "We are a group of pokemon. We live together as a pack under a leader, who ultimately controls everything. The leader has all power, and is protected by the bodyguard, who is me, and is advised by both the elders, who are behind you, and a personal advisor who you choose. The advisor to Fer was his prime mate. A Nidoqueen by the name of Sue. You will be required to pick a prime mate and an advisor soon, and they can be the same people, or otherwise. There's more, but I'll fill you in on this later. For now sir, come with me. We must announce a change in leadership, and you will be required to speak to them." finished Ka. My head was spinning from the new information. I stood there for a minute, processing what I had just heard. "I don't want to do this, can I just go home?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "No, I'm afraid. You can if you really want to, but that will drive the pack into chaos. There will be many deaths in deciding the new leader, and Fer may return to power. He is very unpopular with many of the pack, especially the females, so if it was said that our new leader has abandon us, pointless deaths will occur. So, will you accept?" Asked Ka. I let out a sigh and stood there for a moment, knowing that I had no option. "Yes, I accept." I said and he nodded with a smile and the elders behind me came up and gave me congratulations. There was an Umbreon, Espeon, Ninetails, an ancient looking Lucario, and an old Jynx.

After I had smiled awkwardly at them, and trying to listen to what they had to say, to no avail, Ka let out a bark. They all silenced immediately and Ka walked over. "I will collect everyone in the main hall. I will come to get you when I'm ready. Stay here and think of a speech." said Ka and as soon as he finished, he left and I could hear his shouts down the hall for a full minute. "Well, this is a perdicament. I'm now in charge of many pokemon. I know nothing about this, but I'll have to trry my best." I thought to myself and I heard a chuckle from two of the pokemon behind me. The Jynx and Espeon were chuckling, and weezing. "Yes my dear, I'm sure you'll be a fine leader. Be strong, and compassionate and they'll all respect you." said the Espeon and I gave her a small, appreciative smile. I heard Ka reenter the room and loked over to him in the doorway and saw him nod. "They're ready"

I walked with him down the hall and he led me to a door, which led into an overlook above a large clearing which was currently full of pokemon. "They seem to be mostly quadrepedal, but there's a few on two legs." I thought as I walked on, and sat down, much to the surprise of many of the pokemon. The shock was evident on their faces and one of the ninetails in the front let out a small gasp. I immediately heard muttering, and most of it sounded not too friendly. "I'll start it off." whispered Ka in my ear and he let out a loud bark, calling attention. The noises from the crowd stopped immediately and they all looked up at me and Ka. "Hello, you all know why I have called you here. There has been a change in leadership. Earlier, Fer challenged Bryan here, and lost in one on one combat. Give him the attention and respect that you would any leader." Ka said and he fell silent waiting for me to begin talking. My head was spinning and i felt like the world was being placed on my shoulders. I decided to take the advice of the Espeon elder.

"Hello, as Ka said I have beaten Fer in combat, and I am now your leader. I will do my best to be the best leader you will have. I'll place your safety above all else, and I'll be as nice and lenient as possible. you may think that because I'm a human, that I'll be selfish. Well, get rid of those thoughts right now. I will do whatever I can to make sure you are all safe. even if that means I die in the process. I may not know a ton right now, but I will learn everything that there is to know, and become the best leader. I am open to suggestions and questions from all of you and I encourage you to commmunicate with me. I don't believe that I have anything else. So I'm done. Ka? Anything else?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yes, in fact. You must choose a prime mate and advisor by tonight. As is pack tradition. And you must also decide the fate of Fer." he said and looked around."You may pick any female of your choosing." he said and I looked around, not knowing anyone in the pack yet. "Actually, may I be given a week to choose? I know nobody here and cannot make an informed decision knowing what I do." I said and he looked thoughful for a moment. "Ok, you can do that. Keep in mind, you're the leader. You can do almost whatever you want." he said and I nodded. "Ok, I'll do that then. One week's time, I will have one picked. Tomorrow, I will be out with all of you, and meet all of you. I'll spend a few days learning how the pack works. And as for Fer, What are my options?" I ased and Ka looked thoughful. "Well, you can have him killed so that he may not challenge you or cause trouble, or you can banish him, with death upon return. One final option is simple. Demote him. If you choose this, he remains in the pack with us." I thought about Ka's words for a moment before I spoke again. "I'll keep him here." I said and Ka nodded and I recieved some approving looks from the pokemon in the audience. "Until then though, that is all for the night." I said and I stood up, and walked towards the doorway. As I walked towards it, I saw many looks on the faces of the pack. Some of the sour faces had turned to admiration, many were neutral, and some still seemed upset. I walked towards the door, and through it, with Ka behind me.

"Ok Ka, can we go to whereever my room is, and discuss my powers and responsibilities?" I asked him and he nodded. "Sure. I'll tell you whatever you need to know." He said, and he led me back to a room across the hall from the room that I had battled Fer in. He opened the door owards the room that I assumed to be mine, and we walked in. The room was beautiful, and had a bed made up of mareep wool, and a small stream pooling up in a basin on the other side of a barrier that had a toilet. I stood in the doorway for a moment and looked around. "Wow, how do you make this?" I asked and he smiled. "We had ground pokemon dig this out, and pokemon with knowings of the human world brought their knowledge here and used it to help us. Thanks to them, we have a sewer system and running water." he replied with a smile. "Oh" i said, amazed at the ingenuity of pokemon. "Pokemon are a lot smarter than what other people give them credit for." I commented and Ka smiled. "What else would you like to know?" thought about this for a minute. "What do I do every day?" I asked him and he began to explain. "Every day you make decisions reguarding the camp, make and abolish laws, and check on the well being of the pack. Your prime mate, when you choose one, will find and manage foragers, and guards. The elders and your advisor will advise you on laws, and things that should be done, but they have no real power in the pack. Only the leader and his mate do.

And there's one more power that you have that I've yet to mention. You're the leader, which means you can mate with any female you want. Other members of the pack get one mate, and they're for life. You can have anyone and then return her after a day, or night of mating if you please." said Ka with a sly smile. "So wait, I can have sex with any female that I'd like, whenever?" I asked, and he nodded. "Yes leader." "Can I if they have a mate?" I asked, making sure I knew the full extent of my powers and again, Ka nodded. "yes, and sometimes, they'll come to you for mating. Especially if they're in heat. There's no higher honor for any female in the pack than to be mated by the leader." said Ka, still smiling at me. "Ok, and one more question" I said, worried as to the answer. "What would that be?" "How do I know if the pack likes me or not?" I asked him and he let out a bark of amusement and I looked away, breaking eye contact. "That's easy. They'll tell you. They're required to answer anything that you ask them out of respect. You hold the highest position and you have complete control of these pokemon." he said and looked at me with a smile on his canine face. "Anything else?" he asked me and I thought again."I don't believe so. Just wake me up early tomorrow, ok? And show me what I need to do when the time comes. Alright?" I asked and he nodded. "Of course. Your wsh is my command. I'll see you tomorrow." he said, and with that, he got up, and left the room with me alone and thinking.

"Well, I've made a promise to be kind. I'll make it my mission to be the best leader these pokemon could ever ask for" I said, and with a smile, I closed my eyes.
