Of course by looking at my profile page you can tell its my first one, so I would appreciate the constructive criticism, reviews, all that good jazz. But without further ado, here's the story!}

Chapter 1: Arrival into the new world.

"Alright, time to make today a wonderful day!" A Riolu dashes out the small wooden hut he called home. Despite the size its a decent place for a Pokémon that lives by himself.
The Riolu makes his way through the thick sapphire colored forest in search of breakfast. He was quite energetic for his age, and unlike most teenagers he didn't mind waking up before dawn to harvest breakfast.

He suddenly stops putting a paw under his chin(hmm... What do I wanna eat today? Mago berries sound good right about now, but their not even in season yet... I'm getting tired of oran berries, and the only other berry there is to eat is avalugg... No can't eat those either they give me gas...) he sighs mentally scolding himself for being picky and sets off towards the oran berry bushes.
Once there he starts to pick the plumpest of the blue berries eating a couple as he does so. (Hmm, guess their not that bad... I don't know why I'm being so indecisive today. I should be used to this diet by now..) he finishes picking a armful of berries and relocates to an unnaturally large orange mushroom setting the pile next to himself.

He plops one into his mouth munching on it quickly."These are great..." he says to no one in particular.
He sighs again for the umpteenth time that day, feeling unusually melancholic which was foreign to him."I'm so bored... Everyday is the same for me wakeup, go to town and post fliers, go home, then lather rinse and repeat... I wish there was some sort of catalyst to change my days around... Maybe a-" "WAHHHHHH!" He looks up to see a big orange ball of fur crashing down towards the ground. "Huh? What's that, and why is it-" the fur ball hits the mushroom causing it to bounce a bit. "Screaming... Oh! Its a Pokémon!"

He climbs on top of the fungi and stares at the sky diving mon with a look of curiosity and wonder. "A Growlithe? We don't get their kind her too often, especially the sky diving variety.." The orange dog stirs a bit and slowly open his eyes looking a bit dazed"Owww... That hurt..." Riolu looks a bit startled by him waking up after a fall like that. "Umm.. Are you.. Ok?"

Growlithe perks his ears and his eyes settle on Riolu be then drowsily replies"Yeah... I'm fine Riolu... WAIT! RIOLU!?" Riolu tilts his head confused"You've never seen- OW!" Growlithe kicked him in the face"STAY AWAY FROM ME CREEP!"he starts backing away and falls off the mushroom.
Riolu rubs his nose"Arceus, I was just trying to help you! What never seen a Riolu!?" Growlithe points a claw at him"Pokémon can't talk! The last time I fell for that trick I ended up in the trunk of some old guys car!" Riolu makes a face(A car? What the hell is a car? Even worse he didn't know that Pokémon can talk? And he's a Pokémon himself.. maybe that fall knocked his brain loose or something... I'd better approach the psycho cautiously...)

Riolu puts his paws in front of himself giving Growlithe a small smile, a pity filled one but a smile all the same."Its ok Growlithe, I'm not gonna hurt you..." Growlithe gives him his own confused look"Growlithe? I'm not a Growlithe! I'm a human! And why're you talking anyway, you're a pokemon!" Riolu looks at him wide eyed(Yep he's a lost cause, all the psychologist in the world can't help him...) "Umm.. You're a pokemon too, you do know that right?" Growlithe growls at him"don't screw with me! I'm not a-" "Lemme stop you there, look down."

Growlithe reluctantly does what he's told to do and stares at his hands... Er paws now. "h-huh!? I'm... I'm. A.. When.. How did this happen!?" Riolu rubs his arm blushing a bit"Well, when two pokemon love each other they-" "HEY! I know how babies are made! I was a human and now I'm a Growlithe! Things like that just don't happen over night!" Growlithe growls again agitated because he was confused.
Riolu puts a paw on his head as a migraine develops(Ok, so he's obviously convinced of this whole human thing... Every pokemon knows their myth's.. I guess I'll just play along..) "Right, ok you were a human once before... Well um human, do you have a name?" The Growlithe calms down on the outside but his mind feigned for an logical reason of his transformation. "Reiner... My names Reiner, and you? Do you have one are you just called Riolu?"

Riolu scoffs visibly offended"No, that's racist! My parents wouldn't name me after my species, my names Nero!" Reiner snickers"you're funny Nero, sorry for freaking out like that earlier. Even if you don't believe me I really was a human..."

Nero waves a paw dismissively, though he was still wary of Reiner. "Don't worry about it, I'm just glad your umm.. Sane?"(If I would even call you that.) Reiner rolls his eyes "Ok, so you still believe I have some screws loose. I could care less if you believed me or-" He stops talking as he spots a pidgey with damaged wings being chased by two glaceon.

Reiner furrows the place where his eyebrows would be. "Hey... That poor little pidgey is being pursued, Nero is that normal in this place?". Nero turns to see what Reiner was talking about he growls to himself"Ugh, bullies I hate them!" he dashes after the three "Hey! Wait up don't just run off like that!" Reiner runs with after him.

The glaceon corner the pidgey on a cliff. Pidgey trembles desperately trying to fly away. His wings wouldn't let him and he settles for pleading. "H-hey, lemme along please! I already gave you your money n-now go away!"

Glaceon one smirks"Yeah, like we'd settle for chump change." Glaceon two laughs his voice sounded nasally "Nyeh heh heh, you do know what happens to chicken who don't cooperate, right?" tears start to form in Pidgey's eyes "H-help please!"
Her prayers were answered when Nero uses force palm hitting Glaceon two square in the face, causing him to collapse. Glaceon one steps back a bit "Hey, who the-" Nero wastes no time doing the same to the other Glaceon, who gets thrown next to his brother.

Reiner pants trying to adapt to running on all fours(I miss being bipedal...) he sees the two Glaceon lying on the ground and Nero was gently petting Pidgey's head"Hey, its ok.. I'm not hurt or anything, I had a type advantage over those two Pokemon so I'm fine." Pidgey sniffles and bows its head in thanks "I-I know... My daddy will come looking for me soon *sniff* t-thank you mister..." Pidgey runs off.
Reiner walks over the fallen Glaceon and Nero smiles"Took you long enough!" Reiner looks at the two"ummm are they dead?" Nero chuckles"Of course not, but their gonna have one hell of a headache when they wake up!"

Reiner studies Nero to see if he was at least somewhat exhausted(Not even a bead of sweat... Man he must train alot.) The blue jackal smiles knowingly"You gotta when you live alone you gotta know how to protect yourself!"

Reiner looks a bit surprised"You live alone at such a young age?" Nero nods "Yeah, my parents kicked the bucket a long time ago, and I'm not that young. I'm fifteen." Reiner's ear's wilt at the mention of Nero's parents. "O-oh, I didn't know that.. Sorry." Nero rubs his head "Its ok, Reiner I'm over that so no need to get all emotional or anything..." "If you say so... So where do you live anyway ?"

Nero puts his paw under his chin " I dunno if I should let a stranger in my house... Meh, you don't seem too suspicious, and I can beat the flaffy out of you if did try anything." Reiner rolls his eyes again. "I never said I wanted to visit your house, I was just curious that's all."

Nero folds his arms. "Well, mr human turned Pokemon do you have anywhere else to go?"
Reiner stays silent for a moment(he's right... I have no idea about this place or anyone here. He seems trustworthy enough though...) he nods coming to his conclusion"I've decided I'm gonna stay with you, at least until I figure out how to go back home."
Nero's eyes brighten up a bit"Alright! To my house!" he grabs Reiner who yelps and sprints to his home.

Once there Reiner swats Nero's paw from around his neck sighing "Geez, I have legs you know!?" Nero smiles sheepishly rubbing the back of his head"Right sorry... Well here's my home its not much but its something..." he gestures into the inside of the hut.
Reiner shrugs and walks in. He wasn't expecting much on the exterior. Though he was mildly surprised once he saw the interior of the house.

There was a small chimney with firewood that was overused and needed to be thrown out. A small wooden stove was in another corner of the house and a window rested above it. A single straw bed is set in the middle of the room.

"Sorry if my house is a bit bland, my parents didn't really decorate or accessorize much..." Nero shuffles his paws a bit. Reiner smiles:"it's not all that bad, honestly I was expecting worse." Nero shrugs. "Well at least you're honest... We won't be staying here long, I'm going to town today." Reiner looks a bit curious. "Town?" Nero nods "There's one not to far away from here, I'm going there because I want to become an explorer one day!"

Reiner looks intrigued. "explorer?"(didn't know that was popular in this world...) Nero nods yet again "Yeah, they go around searching for treasure, go to cool places, and some even take job request from pokemon!" Reiner makes his raised eyebrow gesture"You sure do know alot about explorers, why aren't you one yet?"

Nero's cheerful mood diminishes."I haven't been able to get a partner. No matter how many fliers I put up, and that's kinda required to form an official..." Reiner stays silent in thought for a moment(Well other than trying to figure out the cuase of my transformation I'll be bored out of my mind. Maybe this exploration thing won't be so bad... Alright I've made up my mind!) "Well in that case I'll be your partner!"

Nero looks shocked and overjoyed at the same time a weird combination of an facial expression. "W-what? Really!?" Reiner smiles and nods. "Of course I wouldn't say that just to say it now would I?" Nero claps his paws together. "No! Thank you so much Reiner, I promise you wont be disappointed! Now c'mon lets go send a letter to HAPPI!" he grabs Reiner who had little to no time to react and rushes to town cheering gleefully.

Reiner sighs mentally(what did I get myself into...?)
Nero pumps his free paw in the air"We're gonna do amazing things!"

[And that's the end of the first chapter. Sorry if it seemed a bit rushed, especially the battle scene. I kind of did that on purpose... Oh, and remember constructive criticism is appreciated, also I apologize for the spacing errors I'm kinda writing on my phone anyway I'm Out!]
