Distortion world strikes back!
Author's note: Okay, I'm currently revising the chapters and try to make this story even better, 'cuz I don't have any new ideas at the moment. I hope you all read this improved version!
Chapter 1
The beginning of Team Blaze
An eerie darkness filled the distortion world. Here once lived a Pokémon that looked like a dragon with several ghost characteristics. It roared at times, which echoed throughout its world, as it was all alone in here.
This Pokémon's name was Giratina. It hated the real world, were all other Pokémon lived, because it was banished to this dimension by the ruler of all Pokémon, Arceus. Since that day, Giratina was filled with anger, hatred, frustration and the desire for revenge. His plan was to destroy the real world to show the inhabitants how bad an empty world was.
Giratina soared through his dimension, thinking of a way to punish the real world and Arceus for their behaviour towards him. He already tried to invade the real world, but was restrained and banished again by Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. Since then, Giratina became even angrier. His anger was so great, that even a Gyarados in an outrage would have looked like the friendliest Pokémon ever.
Dialga and Palkia were injured pretty badly by Giratina in their battle, so they decided to pick one being to save the world from destruction. And a human was this very being.
It was night at the coast of the continent Mystery Island. Here was a small town called Treasure Town, where many Pokémon lived. A storm caused many Pokémon to stay awake, even though they were ready to sleep.
So did Vulpix, a young female Fire-type Pokémon. She was all alone and did not have anyone to talk to. Additionally, she was a real coward. She was even afraid of a running leaf, if it surprised her. She never could bring herself to talk about her problem, however. She wished for a motivation, for someone, who could help her to build up courage.
Every time lightning crashed into the sea, she screamed out of fear and tried to hide herself under her self made blanked consisted of moss stuck together with an unknown mass of glue.
Vulpix lived in a rock cave on a cliff that had an opening in the front, so one could look out at the sea. The rock was called Sharpedo rock, because it was formed like a Sharpedo, a shark-like Pokémon with very sharp teeth and a very violent attitude.
At the next morning on the beach, Vulpix took a walk. It was a very nice beach, where Krabby often tended to be. They loved to stay on the beach in the sunshine. In the evening, they would blow bubbles in the air. It was a very beautiful and romantic sight.
Vulpix looked out at the sea and her eyes sparkled, so beautiful was the sight for her. Unfortunately, she didn't watch where she was going and tripped over something that lied in the sand.
"What was that?", she asked and shook the sand off her red-brown fur. She did not like, when her fur was dirty.
She looked at the place, where that being in question laid and jumped back in shock, when she noticed, that that being in the sand was a Charmander, a fire-type Pokémon like herself. It did not move an inch, so Vulpix assumed that the Pokémon was not quite alive.
Vulpix looked at the Charmander and said nothing. Her feet were trembling. On one hand, she was worried about the Charmander that did not do anything but lying there, on the other hand, she was afraid of what could happen, if she was to wake up the fire lizard.
"Maybe I should just try it", Vulpix thought to herself and touched the Charmander slightly with her paw. She quickly jumped back, but the Charmander did not react. She touched it again. Now, the Charmander let out a tired groan and stood up.
"Where… am I?", it asked. The tone of its voice gave away its gender. It was a boy.
"So, you did wake up at last", Vulpix said shyly. Charmander turned towards her and his mouth gaped open.
"How can it be?", he asked in shock. "A talking Pokémon! How in the world is that possible? I thought, Pokémon only could say their names!".
"Of course we can talk", Vulpix said and gave Charmander a bewildered look. "What kind of weird Pokémon are you?".
"I´m NOT a Pokémon!", the Charmander roared, as if Vulpix had just offended him, "I'm a human!".
"A human?", Vulpix tilted her head to the side and went around Charmander, "but in every way I look at you, you look exactly like a Charmander".
Charmander checked on himself and screamed. Vulpix giggled at that, because the Charmander screamed like a little girl that was running away from rats or something similar.
"I-It´s true!", Charmander shrieked, "I don't know why, but I´m a Pokémon. And not only that, but I'm a Charmander!".
Vulpix looked at him. She expected a terrified reaction on this realization, but the opposite happened.
"Awesome! I'm a Charmander! Can I use Flamethrower, too?", he asked the completely surprised Vulpix.
"G-guess so", she answered.
Charmander opened his mouth and a huge blast of flames came out of it. "THAT'S EVEN MORE AWESOME!", he yelled out. "This is like a dream! Being a Charmander and meeting the most beautiful girl in the entire world!".
Vulpix blushed at that statement. "Aren't you a little bit exaggerating?", she asked. "I mean, you've only seen me as a girl as of now, haven't you?".
"Well?", Charmander asked, waiting for the point. "Can't a boy say that he just met the most beautiful girl in his entire life? At least, I think so". He put on a thoughtful expression.
"You THINK so?", Vulpix asked, now completely confused. "Why did you say, you think so?".
"'Cuz I can't remember", Charmander replied.
"Who are you, anyway?", Vulpix finally managed to ask him.
"I´m….. uuuuhh…..", Charmander rubbed the back of his head, "….. I'm…. uuuuh…. My name is…".
"You forgot?", Vulpix asked. "Yeah", Charmander said.
"Well, anyhow, I'm Vulpix, it's nice to meet you". She reached out a paw. "Same here", Charmander said and shook the paw, which also shook Vulpix, because Charmander was considerably strong.
"Why the hell are you bouncing up and down, when I shake your hand?", Charmander asked. "Well…. It´ s just… I'm a little bit… well… shaky today…", Vulpix tried to avoid Charmander's confused and suspecting gaze.
"Hehehe, you are cute, when you're making up excuses like this". This made Vulpix blush a little bit, as she never heard such compliments before.
"D-don't say that", she said embarrassed.
"Why not? It's fun", Charmander said in a teasing manner. "Anyway, I don't have any clue of how I'm named or where the hell I come from".
"That sure is weird", Vulpix said, blush disappearing.
Suddenly, she got hit from behind. "Oooow!", she screamed and she fell into Charmander's arms.
"What the….?", Charmander asked in surprise.
The Pokémon that hit Vulpix was a mean looking Gligar. He raised his pincers in a threatening manner, but Charmander did not back down.
Next to the Gligar was a Bagon, a small dragon with a head as hard as steel. It and the Gligar apparently were best friends.
"Y-you again!", Vulpix yelled with tears in her eyes. In that moment, she noticed where she was and blushed madly. She then rushed to Charmander's side.
"Look what we found", Bagon said with an evil grin in his face.
"It's that coward-fox", Gligar grinned as well, "well, looks like you have gotten yourself a boyfriend, right?".
"He isn't my boyfriend!", Vulpix yelled, "I just met him here!".
"Love at first sight, I always say", Bagon teased.
"Shut the hell up!", now, Charmander put himself in the conflict.
"Whohoho, now the prince is trying to help his princess", Gligar teased. Charmander got angry. Really angry.
"How dare you to bully an innocent girl like her?", he roared.
"I-I guess h-he means it, pal", Bagon shivered out of fear. That Charmander-guy sure looked strong.
"Heck, I guess we don't have a choice", Gligar said and got himself ready to battle, "let us just defeat these weaklings and get the hell out of here!".
"Alright!", Bagon said happily.
The two rushed forward. Vulpix covered her eyes with her paws, while Charmander got a Flamethrower ready and fired it at the attackers. They dodged the attack and Gligar attacked Charmander with a powerful Scissor Cross attack. Charmander could barely dodge it, but he was hit by Bagon's Headbutt. Charmander fell to the ground but quickly stood up again, when Gligar came out of the sky to attack him with Brave Bird. Charmander dodged the attack and the flying scorpion crashed into the ground. He was defeated.
Now only Bagon was left. Vulpix decided to help her new friend and they attacked the little dragon together. Not long after that, Bagon was lying on the ground.
He and Gligar stood up and they ran away.
"Thank you so much", Vulpix said and smiled happily at Charmander. "For what?", Charmander asked. "For protecting me from those two big bad bullies", Vulpix said, still smiling, "they have been bullying me since I was little. And they did it just because I'm such a weakling and coward".
"For a weakling and coward, you were pretty awesome back then", Charmander said.
"You think so?", Vulpix was even happier, "thank you".
"Uhm…. I…. Have a favour to ask you", she said shortly after. Apparently, it was embarrassing for her, because she blushed slightly.
"What favour?", Charmander asked in surprise.
"Will you form an Exploration Team with me?", Vulpix asked, "I think, we would make a great combination. So do you want to? Please!".
"What should I do?", Charmander asked himself, "I don't even know what an Exploration Team is. But I don't think Vulpix is trying to fool me, so I think it's alright if I form a whatever team with her. So, alright".
"Yeah, I will", he said to Vulpix.
"Thank you so much, Charmander!", Vulpix said and hugged her new partner.
Thus, the adventures of the coward Vulpix and the human Charmander began. But this was just the beginning of many adventures that waited for them. Somewhere in this world, there was a great secret waiting for them to discover it.
