Chapter One: Zeke and the Fennekin

[Italics: Human thoughts.]

It was a dark and cold night on route 2, so cold that most fire type Pokémon fled the area to find a warmer place to settle in. The heavy rain we had over the past week made it unseasonably chilly and the days were becoming slightly shorter recently. Nightfall came and it was starting to rain again.

"Jack come on, we get the last two Pokémon for the buyers we can go!" Said Zeke as he was scouring the tall grass looking for more Pokémon to take, hoping that he'd catch a lucky break tonight.

"Zeke i already know that. You've said it like a thousand times already!" Jack said, as he too was also searching in the tall grass, and was getting annoyed at how many times Zeke had told him.

"GOTCHA!" said Jack as he held up a zigzagoon from its hind legs. "Alright, one more and we can finally head back." Jack said to Zeke, as he too found a Pokémon. Zeke crept up and was ready to pounce at the Pokémon. But the Pokémon ran away by the sudden approach Zeke had made towards it, causing it to flee to a nearby forest.

"Argh." Zeke said as he fell to the ground rubbing his elbows from the impact "Slippery little bastard. Hang on Jack i got to give a little chase to this one." said Zeke as he got up, and started chasing the fleeing Pokémon that he had almost grabbed.

"Alright, we'll meet up back at the truck make sure to catch to catch that thing!" yelled Jack as he was making his way back to his vehicle, ensuring that he will wait for him.

A short run later the Pokémon ran with all its speed through the forest. But ultimately found itself at a dead end near a large mountain. As it tried to run back it heard Zeke coming after it, all it could do was walk backwards in fear knowing the worst is coming.

"Alright you little shit, no more playing games this time you're mi-". But before Zeke could finish his sentence, what he saw was truly amazing.

A shiny Fennekin stood in front of him, with a light gray body that looked like silver, and eyes so beautiful and radiant it sparkled like a flawless ruby gemstone. This changed Zeke's mind completely as he was dumbfounded by the fennekin's looks.

"By Arceus... you're beautiful..." Zeke said as he took a step forward, but the shiny fennekin walked backwards in fear, still jumpy from what zeke did earlier.

"Whoa easy girl, I'm not going to hurt you." Zeke said as he reached in his pockets, taking out a sweet berry. I was a special type of berry that only fire types Pokémon truly enjoy.

"Come here girl…" Zeke said as he was kneeling down, beckoning it to come forward and taste the berry he had offered in his hand.

The shiny fennekin slowly walked towards Zeke. Not lowering its guard and ever so hesitant. As soon as it got to the berry Zeke had in his hand, it sniffed the berry and its eyes widened in excitement and started eating it. As soon as it was done it nuzzles Zeke's hand as gesture of friendliness.

"Hmm I take it you loved it, I grew it myself not many berries truly satisfy every Pokémon type." Zeke said.

The fennekin then pounced on him and started to lick his face happily. "Hey Ha cut it out that tickles." said Zeke as he was moving his face side to side from the fennekin's tongue. He then grabbed the shiny fennekin and looked at its appearance, still mesmerized that such a thing exists.

"You have the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen… Like the purest of jewelry ever to be made, they look so familiar too… Anyways where's your family little pup?" Zeke said as he put the pup down.

The fennekin then looked down in sadness as it started scratching the ground with its left paw and then turned around and started barking at the dead end it once ran up to, Zeke looked up and saw a horrific and grim scene.

A female Braixen and Delphox laying on top of each other, dead with blood splattered all over the ground.

"Fuck me…" Zeke said in silence, he then ran towards the Pokémon expecting the worse has happened. As soon as he ran up to the corpses he then crouched down and turned the female Delphox body over. He then saw it being covered in stab wounds.

"Arceus… Who did this?" Zeke said as he kneeled down inspecting the wounds that were left behind, he was wondering who the culprit behind the bloody scene was.

Then he saw a piece of torn cloth still clenched in the Delphox paw. He released the grips from its lifeless fingers and then turned it around and saw team plasma's logo on it; Zeke was in utter shock that it sent chills down his spine.

"What the… Team plasma; but why… I need to get to the bottom of this." Zeke thought to himself, He was still in shock from what he is seeing the deaths of a Pokémon are not a regular thing to see. Sure fainted but never dead… he grabbed his radio he had on him and tried calling for Jack.

"Jack come in please." Zeke said on his radio waiting for a response "this is Jackalicious how can i help you?" Jack said over the radio in a joking matter.

"Cut the shit Jack, listen I need you to call Officer Jenny and tell her to bring in an ambulance to route 2." Zeke said as he was staring at the corpses of the Pokémon, still trying to figure out how it all happened.

"Why, someone dead?" Jack said in a nonchalant voice, picking at his ear.

"Oh it's dead alright… but it isn't human." Zeke said as he was comforting the sobbing fennekin, crying by the deceased bodies that's when jack's tone changed.

"If its Pokémon then don't be ridiculous, Pokémon deaths haven't occurred in years." Jack said he was calling Officer Jenny on his cell phone.

"Until now Jack… I got a dead Delphox and a Braixen here stabbed multiple times in the upper and lower torsos, they look fresh too… here's the kicker one of them has Team Plasma's logo."

Then Jack's body froze for a moment, thinking back at the horrible things he's witnessed when he was with Team Plasma. "Xerneas be damned… you don't think… no way." Jack said grabbing his head, shocked at what he has heard.

"It's too early to speculate Jack right now i need to report to Headquarters. i think it's time for me to change professions." Zeke said as he hung up on Jack, putting the radio back in his holster.

Zeke went over to the sad fennekin to comfort it as it was still crying over its family's deaths. Zeke then got down on his knee, placed an open palm on the ground and prayed to the deceased.

"In your hands Arceus, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain…
but fullness of peace and joy."

As soon as Zeke was done he picked up the sad shiny fennekin and gave it a hug, ensuring it that everything will be ok. But the shiny fennekin cried its heart out over the events that had occurred.

"Sad… this fennekin is going to grow up without a family, it's too young to survive in the wilderness it needs a home." Zeke thought still thinking about what happened to the family.

**Author's note**

So the first chapter in the books and Zeke has already found the most beautiful Pokémon he ever laid eyes on, and somebody has already died, do you suspect that team plasma's behind it, well we don't know for sure maybe they are maybe they aren't, but now that the shiny fennekin has no one to take care of it what will Zeke do, will he take it under its wing or leave it behind?

Stay tuned for chapter two people don't forget to leave a review!
