A Long time ago there was two foot eleven inch Chikorita named Blade. Blade was a very special or so he liked to think, he thought that he was better than everyone else. But there was just one thing that he just could not do, and that was to stand in front of people and talk or get talked to by someone he did not know.
Blade had no friends at school because he would always show off and no one liked him showing off not even the teachers. Some of Blade's teachers even told him that if he keeps showing off that the guild might not accept him. Blade thinking that he knew everything did not believe his teachers, he knew that he would be accepted into the guild some day and travel to all the legendary places in the world. But Blade knew before he could enter the guild he had to finish school, find a partner, and get over his fear of strangers talking to him.
Blade was in the eighth grade and he would be able to take the guilds entrance exam after this year of school. He was a very smart Pokémon and was at the top of his class. But when he showed off no one wanted to be around him until about mid-semester, a new Pokémon named Rocky the Larvatar transferred to Blade's school. Rocky was also a show off, so Blade and Rocky got to be best friends because no one else wanted to.
At the end of the year Blade and Rocky were like brothers. They did everything together like: training, practicing, and even vandalizing the school and other public places. They both knew if they were to get caught in action they would never be able to join the guild. It was both of their dreams to get into the guild and even better form a rescue team together.
On the night before the guild exam, Rocky stayed over at Blades house so they could go to the exam together the next morning, in the middle of the night Blade and Rocky heard screaming coming from the distance. Blade ran outside to see were the screaming was coming from and when he got outside all he saw was his home village in flames. He saw all of the Meganium's, Bayleef's, and Chikorita's running to get out but some of them got trapped under falling flaming trees.
Heavy dark smoke filled the air and would not clear off like if someone was trying to keep the smoke in one spot. Blade then ran inside to get Rocky but Blade's parents told them that they needed to get out of the forest or there was a chance that they might die. But Blade told his parents that he loved them then took Rocky and ran outside to see what was really going on.
Blade could not see anything because of the heavy smoke. Blade had gotten separated from Rocky because of the smoke. Wile Blade was just walking trying to find were the smoke end he saw many Pokémon under burning trees dying and he wished he could do something but he was not strong enough. When Blade made it out of the smoke he looked up and saw a Honchkrow was using whirl wind to keep the smoke in one area.
Blade started to attack the Honchkrow with his razor leaf, but the Honchkrow's whirl wind was to strong for the leaves to get to him. When the Honchkrow saw Blade attacking him, he came down and landed in front of Blade. Blade looked up and saw that the bird was at least three times his size. The Honchkrow told Blade that his name was Shadow and he is the team leader of Team Hunters. Blade was angry for what the Haze had been doing, so Blade started running at Shadow to stop him but Shadow just flapped his wings lazily and Blade went flying. When Blade Landed on a burning tree, Blade was hurt too much by the fall that he could not get up and the burns from the tree weekend him even more.
With some of the smoke now reaching the town center, all of the rock, ground, and water rescue teams were called in to the site of the fire. When they got to the forest where the fire was, all they could see was a burning land with all of the tree bunt to a crisp and lava coming from the ground. The water Pokémon teams went and put out the fires while the rock Pokémon teams were moving molten rock and the ground Pokémon teams were filling the holes in the ground and collecting the dead and survivors.
When the fire was totally put out, the number of survivors was very small. Blade was among the one hundred survivors but Rocky was no were to be found. Blades parents died in the fire with seven hundred other Pokémon. Because of the fire the guild exam was postponed till the next month but Blade did not care about that all he wanted to do is find his best friend. A few days after the fire, the burned land was off limits to all Pokémon, Blade did not care so he went to the land to go look for Rocky.
When Blade got to the land that used to be his home, the whole land was covered in ash and hot coals. Blade began to walk on the land but because of the hot coals he burned his feet. Blade noticed that he would not be able go explore the land because the land was still to hot. Blade decided to go back to town and he knew if he went on the land he would have burnt feet and people would wonder were had had been.
As Blade was coming back into town, there was a crowd in the center of town, when Blade got up there he saw that the crowd was looking at Team Legends. Blade soon found out that Team Legends was going to go to the site of the fire to see if there were anymore survivors and to find evidence on what started the fire. As Blade was going back home he saw on the towns notice pole had a flyer saying that the guild exams would be in one week. Blade did not want to take the exam with out Rocky because it was both of there dreams to join the guild.
With one day till the exam and with Rocky still not showing up, Blade knew that he needed to take the exam so he could make a rescue team and go out and find Rocky. That afternoon Team Legends came back from the site of the fire, when Blade saw Flame the Ninetails he saw something on his back. Rocky's parents were in the town center when Flame walked by they noticed that Rocky was on Flames back and they told Flame that that was there son. Flame gave Rocky's parents there son and then they went home.
The next day Blade went over to Rocky's house to see how he was doing, when he got there Rocky's parents told Blade that Rocky had gotten up early and went to the guild to take the exam. At that point Blade remembered about the exam and then told Rock's parents bye and started running towards the guild. With an hour before the exam and Blade still one and a half miles away from the guild, Blade did not think that he was going to be able to make it but he still ran as fast as he could. When he made it to the guild he had a minute to spare and he saw a seat open next to Rocky so he went and sat down next to him.
