A/N: Thank you for clicking on this story. As this is just a prologue, the next few chapters will be much longer than this current one. I hope I will make something great from this start of a story, and that you guys will enjoy it.
P.S. I'm still really bad at using this site.
I live my life as really your everyday Absol, hunting down meals for the little ones and just everyone in general. My mate sent me on a mission to hunt down small Pokemon that could potentially be fed to smaller Absols. We are expecting to have a cub soon, so I do my best to find whatever I can.
I start walking drenched in the cold rain as it rolls down my white fur, my paws stepping in puddles of mud and water. The rain is heavy as it keeps pelting my body, trying to force me to stop this hunt, but the rain was nothing but a simple bother. I look around to see the forest completely void of the Pokemon that usually inhabit this area. Occasionally the bird Pokemon would fly away on sight and they would quickly be out of my range, making me unable to catch them. I growl as a keep searching, my deep-blue eyes scanning the area.
"I hope Abigail doesn't get mad with me," I whispered to myself. I kept searching as I still saw no potential prey. I run quickly across the forest as I try a different area, hoping to find something that will be a good meal, something that will feed a small cub. I look around again, with the only noteworthy thing I find is a tree uprooted from the ground and laying on the ground. I can see the burn marks on it as I knew it could have potentially been some lightning or a fire Pokemon. I couldn't imagine a Pokemon here that could use such a move, let alone Ember that is probably their weakest attack.
I saw it as a simple piece of nature as I continued to scout, not knowing about the amount of Pokemon that were truly hiding from me. I felt as if the rain was obscuring my sense of scent as I smelled nothing to eat, let alone anything edible. I decided I shall walk around the area of the fallen log and use it as a sort of landmark, the Pokemon that destroyed it couldn't have been far. I could use a good battle as well.
"The best way to get your meal is to fight for it," I said, the memory going through my head. These words are basically the foundation of all predators and Pokemon that need to find their meal.
That was when I saw the brush ahead of me rustle as I took a defensive stance, getting ready for anything to pounce on. I waited, by tail raised in the case I need to use my iron tail. Then I saw it, a small cub that was no taller than my leg, with a small tuff of red hair on top of its small head.
A Litleo, the perfect meal. It has yet to notice me as I look around before I tackle it. I pounce as it looks at me with its innocent eyes, not able to process what's going on. I extend my claws as it glows purple, and with one swift swipe, I travel it across its neck.
A clean kill and a quick meal, something small for the young ones.
Before I could pick it up in my teeth, I notice another movement in a different bush to my left. I freeze as I saw the large feline approach me with its teeth bared. Its mane is massive as it surrounds it whole head and I could see fire leak from its teeth.
He looked over to the dead cub in front of me, a face of anger reaching his face. "You… MONSTER! I'LL KILL YOU!" he roared. He started sprinting toward me, fire lining his teeth. I quickly grab the dead Pokemon in my teeth and bolt, hoping to outrun him. I moved quickly as I sped up my movement and started towards the fallen log area, the perfect ground to engage if I have to. As I made it to the area, I jumped to the opposite side of the log, dropped my prey and looked behind me. As he entered the area, I was faced with the look of pure anger and hatred.
"Looks like we have a stand off of some sorts," I state. "I'm guessing your anger is completely directed towards me. Not that it should be much of a surprise." My mocking was enough for him to pounce at me, his large body now in the air.
A star of fire came from its mouth and shot it at me. I did the same as I just instead fired a stream of fire at it, colliding with it. The smoke filled the air as I saw the Pyroar about to tackle me with its body. I decided to use my strongest attack on him.
I moved quickly as I escaped his vision, then I was able to strike him with my body from the side, sending him flying into a tree on the left of me. I then followed it up with my claws growing a large purple as I followed it up with a swip across the eyes. He roared in rage as he held his face, obviously showing my attack was a success.
He roared again, the loud noise echoing through the entire forest. I heard footsteps in a the distance as I found himself surrounded by a female Pyroar and two more males. I can tell that they wanted me gone, with the baring of their teeth being an obvious sign. All four of them wanted to skin me then eat me alive, but I wasn't going to let them.
The two male Pyroar charged at me, their fangs lined with fire. I saw this as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, literally. I charged up an attack as stones appeared and started to orbit my body. Their sharp edges made perfect weapons as I sent them towards them. They suffered the attack greatly as I saw the damage I dealt was critical due to their inferior typing.
The two retreated like the Poochyena they truly were. I swear I heard the female curse as she helped out who I assumed was her mate. She decided to take matters into her own paws as she covered herself in fire and charged toward me. This was the only good reason I had a reason to love the rain as her attack didn't seem very potent at all.
I countered with another Night slash, attacking her head on. As soon as we collided, the flame around her disappeared and the claw managed to get through and use a vertical slash against her. It sent her flying toward the one who just recovered, who in turn were dog piled on each other. I took the chance as I took the Litleo in my mouth and ran toward where Abigail and I had been living in.
Without much working, I managed to get away with their roar echoing throughout the forest. I smirked as I continued my way through the woods and past the several trees.
I jumped from stone to stone as I made it to my mate and I's den. The place was pretty small, but there was a pool of clean water beside us, along with several bones from unidentified Pokemon that we previously ate all along the ground. My mate was sleeping with two eggs in front of her in the small cave to shield herself from the downpour, her quiet snoring told me that she was having a nice nap, even past the cold rain.
Abigail and I really didn't have the kind of relationship where it's really 'friendly.' She just wanted to have cubs to raise, and I believe she was expecting me to help her be the father of the family. But to be completely honest, her attitude towards me isn't the greatest, almost to the point where I almost hate it. The only reason she chose me to be her mate was because she was impressed with my battling capabilities, not for anything else. And the reason I went with mating her was because I want to know that my family tree gets started somewhere, with hopes that it will become remembered among Absols. But she was the type of Absol that I thought others would most likely hate, so in turn the children will be hated as well.
I've been thinking about the pros of being with her. The one that I can think off the top of my head is that my children will have my bloodline, with that being the only thing. And the cons outweigh the pros tremendously. I shook my head as I looked at her again with the eggs, my thought starting to effect me physically. I know what I had to do, and I had to do it quick.
The Litleo will be my departing gift to her I have decided. As it was about time I did what I wanted to do for quite some time.
There's no space for goodbyes as there was never room for one in the first place. With a prayer to Arceus that she will be alright with my future children, I jump down the mountain, never looking back once and heading in the opposite direction away from her.
