Chapter One
He had left his home town of Pallet when he was but a boy of ten years old but Blaine Anderson had never looked back since. There had only been one thing on his mind when he had first started off his journey ten years ago and that was to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer and capture any and all Pokémon that he could. Blaine's family ranch was already filled with a wide variety of Pokémon that the young man had encountered across his journey and Blaine was looking to add more Pokémon to his ever growing family.
Smiling softly at the thought, Blaine paused a moment in the middle of the wooded path he was taking that would hopefully take him to his destination which was Sandgem Town where he was to meet up with Professor Rowan. Blaine was supposed to receive a brand new Pokémon from the professor who had been following the young man since he became champion of not only the Kanto region but the Johto and Hoenn regions as well.
Blaine had to admit though that his journey had been a long one even with his Pokémon by his side for those that had wished to travel with him only did it because of his title and not who he was as a person. If Blaine wanted a friend then he wanted a friend that wanted to be with him because of who he was rather than what he was and the young man side as he glanced over at his only companion.
"Well Sizzle, looks like we'll have to find somewhere to make camp for the night. It's starting to get dark and I don't want to be out walking around when the wild Pokémon come out." Blaine said to his Blaziken with a small smile.
The Pokémon looked over at Blaine with a tilt of its head before slowly nodding to show that it understood. It was still hard for Blaine to believe that this was the same Blaziken that had started off as a meek and terrified Torchic and had ended with being a brave and powerful Blaziken that helped him claim his championship title back in the Hoenn region.
Blaine had made it a tradition that every time he started off on a new journey, he would take his first Pokémon from his previous journey with him. That way, not only would Blaine explore a whole new area but so would the Pokémon that had started his journey with him the previous times. It seemed like a pretty fair deal to the young trainer as he started wandering off the intended path to start looking for a place to set up camp for the night.
Of course, Blaine's idea of 'setting up camp' simply consisted of laying out a sleeping back and setting up a small camp fire to keep him warm at night. Other than that there really wasn't much to set up and Blaine was rather thankful for that for he was exhausted from all the walking he had done already that day.
It didn't take Blaine long to find the perfect place to set up his sleeping bag for the night as he came across a small stream where there was a nice flat piece of land right beside it that he could place his sleeping bag. Blaine smiled at the sight and motioned with a tilt of his head towards some pieces of fallen branches and sticks once Sizzle had come to a stop beside him.
"Sizzle, please get the fire ready awhile and then we can have supper." The Blaziken nodded its head in understanding before wandering off to gather up some branches and small logs for the fire.
Blaine watched as the Pokémon soon disappeared from sight before proceeding to set down his backpack and unclipping his rolled up sleeping back from the bottom of it. Humming softly to himself as he moved to unroll the sleeping back, Blaine found himself perking up his head slightly when he thought he heard the sound of something whimpering behind a bush on the other side of the stream. Blaine's gaze locked onto the bush almost instantly and if there was a Pokémon in need then he was going to do everything in his power that he could in order to help it.
The young man paused for only a moment to readjust the hat that was covering his hair for he had run out of hair gel and hair spray back before the start of his journey. As much as he wanted to help the Pokémon in need, Blaine also didn't want to frighten the poor thing with his horrid hat hair and so he waited until he was certain his hair was out of sight before rising to his feet.
Even though the stream wasn't that wide across, Blaine still had to take a running leap in order to jump over it and he had almost lost his balance in the process. Luckily though he was able to maintain his balance after sticking his landing and Blaine was able to remain dry and in one piece. That was but another accomplishment that Blaine felt as though he should write down in his journal after he had finished tending to the Pokémon in need.
Blaine wasted no time in crossing the remaining distance from the edge of the stream to the bush where he had thought he had heard the Pokémon whimpering from and it was only when he approached the bush that the trainer remembered to pull his pokédex out just in case it turned out to be a Pokémon that he hadn't seen before.
With the pokédex now in front of him in one hand, Blaine knelt down in front of the bush where he could clearly hear the Pokémon's frightened whimpers now and reached out with the other hand to gently start pushing back the leaves and branches of the bush to get a better look at the Pokémon.
"Uh, hello there? Anybody back there?" Blaine whispered as he was soon able to see what appeared to be a small rabbit curled up in a small ball behind the bush and his heart skipped a beat at the sight.
Despite the fact that the Pokémon was obviously frightened out of its mind, Blaine could tell that it was not a Pokémon he had ever seen before and he quickly brought out his pokédex to aim it at the little Pokémon so that he could record it in his pokédex and learn a little bit more about the Pokémon at the same time:
Buneary.
The Rabbit Pokémon. When sensing danger, it extends both ears as an alert, and when cold, it curls up and goes to sleep.
Blaine's pokédex explained before Blaine flipped it shut and moved to shove it back into his vest pocket in which he had pulled it from in the first place. So this new Pokémon was a Buneary? Blaine had to admit that the little Pokémon was cute and he couldn't possibly leave the poor thing alone. So, Blaine smiled softly at the rabbit like Pokémon, who was still whimpering but now focused on the human as he reached out to carefully scoop the little Pokémon upon into his arms.
"Sh, it's alright. I'm not going to hurt you. I bet that you're cold huh? Well, why don't I take you back to my camp and we'll get you in front of a nice warm camp fi-"
"Bon-Bon!" Came another voice out of nowhere causing Blaine to jump in a mixture of surprise and fear for he hadn't been expecting to run into any more humans that night.
Before Blaine could turn around though and see who it was that had spoken, something hard hit him in the back of the head causing him to lurch forward sending the poor Buneary rolling out of his arms and onto the ground in front of him. Blaine's vision blurred before him as he felt something warm starting to run down his neck and he shakily brought a hand up to tentatively touch the back of his head where his fingers came into something warm and sticky.
Blood. Blaine was bleeding and he managed to look over his shoulder just in time to see the person that had hit him. A slightly older male, maybe one or two years older than Blaine, stood there holding what appeared to be some sort of large branch in his blanched hands and had it not been for the loss of blood, Blaine would have had to say that the other male wasn't that bad of a looker.
However, Blaine simply blamed that last thought on the blood loss and he managed to stumble to his feet with his hand still pressed against his bleeding head.
"W-what…what was th-that f-" However, before Blaine could finish his sentence, his legs gave out from underneath of him and he went lurching forward towards the other male that had hurt him in the first place.
The last thing that Blaine could remember before passing out was hearing the stranger crying out in surprise and his last words echoing over and over again in his mind.
"Well poo. I hit the wrong guy."
Well that was just wonderful. Apparently the male with the stick hadn't been aiming for him after all and now Blaine would no doubt wake up with a splitting headache because of it. Not that Blaine had time to dwell on the matter of course for he was out cold before he could hit the ground and his only thought at that point was what was going to happen to him now?
