THE LONELY POKEMON

CHAPTER 1

This is an amazing story about a Pokémon. A Pokémon, who is forced to live a harsh life, and eventually become a hero that not even he thought he would become, oh, you never heard of this story? Well, allow me to tell you this tragic, yet wonderful story.

Our story begins… actually it would probably be best to describe the setting first before we begin. This world, in which our story takes place in, is inhabited only by Pokémon. All Pokémon live in this world except for one, cubones. However, the main character of this story actually goes by the name, Cubone. Some Pokémon in this world do not speak, as if they were animals. I think we're ready to begin.

Our story begins at a cave in the middle of a large desert. A kangaskhan child is outside playing with a stick as if it were a sword.

"Cubone," said a voice from inside the cave. "It's time to come in."

Cubone replied, "Coming mother."

Cubone then ran inside to see his mother holding a plate of berries. Cubone didn't have a father. He only had his mother, which was all he needed to be happy.

"Cubone, I wish you would stop playing with that stick," his mother said. "It worries me."

Cubone sighed. "But mom, I told you. I'm training to become a marowak."

Cubone's mother smiled when she heard him say this. She knew that it would most likely that her son wouldn't become a member of the marowaks, a group of disciplined Pokémon warriors that use bones for their weapons and are born with their skulls on the outside, but at the same time she knew that her son was different and born to do great things.

"Cubone," she said, "one day your life is going to change unexpectedly, but I know that you will easily handle that tough change when it comes.

"What do you mean?" he asked as grabbed some berries and began to eat.

"Well, one day I won't be here, and I need to prepare you for when that day comes. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Cubone shook his head and yawned after he ate the last berry on the plate.

His mother chuckled, "Looks like someone needs to take a nap."

The mother carried her son to the part of the cave were they slept and tucked Cubone in.

"I'll be right back sweetheart." she said. "I have to go get some more berries for later." She then kissed Cubone on the forehead and proceeded to walk out of the cave.

"I love you, mom." Cubone said, drifting to sleep.

His mother turned around before she left the cave and said "I love you too, my little marowak."

Cubone then began to dream of what life as a marowak would be like, going on amazing adventures, discovering Pokémon that he had never seen before and wielding a bone of his own. However, his dream was interrupted by a loud crack of thunder. He had apparently been asleep for hours and a storm was heading his way. But as he began to look around the cave, he noticed something that began to worry him. His mother had not yet returned.
