Okay, this is my first fanfiction. Another thing, English is my third language so I apologize for any grammar mistakes I commit in this story well enjoy
On the morning of his birthday number twelve Dante Silverfang woke up earlier that he had ever done so before. Today marked the beginning oh his great journey across the grand world of Pokémon. He rapidly and almost desperately took a shower, put on his black and silver outfit, fixed his neck-long silvery hair and ate breakfast because he was excited to reach Prof. Sophu's laboratory as soon as humanly or pokémonly possible.
When finished Dante raced out the door where he immediately bumped into his Childhood friend; Shenzi liona. "WHOA easy there pup, remember the pokémon we are about to receive where specially picked for us by our fathers so there is no need for you to race down to the lab" Said Shenzi with her characteristic feline like smile. "True, but I had to wait twelve years to be able to start my journey and I'll be dammed if I arrive late" said Dante. Then he rapidly turned around the back of his feet and said: "Don't call me "pup" you know I hate that."
As the future trainers walked to the laboratory professor Diana Sophu was debating whether giving Dante the pokémon Dante's father sent for him was a good idea since it being both incredibly rare and possessed a rare color pattern. "Is it a good idea to give a young trainer such a potentially powerful pokémon as their starter?" asked the professor to herself. "What if it turns on Dante and ends up seriously hurting him or even killing him?" she added worried. "Seriously Drake, what where you thinking when you send me the egg of a Wolfwyrm alpha?" screamed the stressed professor to the air. "This pokemon fits my son's personality perfectly" said the famed explorer Drake Silverfang over the communicator surprising the professor. "How long have you been there listening?" asked Diana. "Long enough to know that you worry about my son, there's no need for that, Dante is perfect for the pokémon I selected" answered Drake with a smirk on his face. "Well could you at least tell me how in the hell are you so sure about this?" asked the professor with her hands on her face showing her disliking for the situation. "This race of Pokemon are known for being notoriously powerful and they will not follow the orders of anyone who is weaker than them" rapidly added the professor. "No need for you to worry, my son will grow strong alongside his pokemon making sure there's no problem" said the explorer with a laid-back attitude in his words and a satisfied smirk on his face.
"Hello Miss. Diana" Shenzi said as the professor made it look as if there was nothing to worry. "Hello children, you are here earlier than I expected you two to be, especially since I know Dante here sleeps until its time for lunch" said Donna the professor's assistant who went to greet the young trainers. "Is everything ready?" asked Dante with impatience on his voice. "Yes your starters have been fed, checked, and approved by both the professor and myself so just go ahead into the main room and say hello to your future pokemon" said the young woman with a friendly smile. Dante and Shenzi walked into the main room where five pokéballs rested in table, two of which where different, one being black with a silver wolf symbol and the other being orange with a golden lion symbol. Both trainers immediately recognized whose pokéball was for who and looked at each other with a smile. "Okay then who's gonna go first?" asked Prof. Diana as she walked into the room with a clipboard in hand. "Ladies first!" said Shenzi with a mischievous face towards Dante who just grunted slightly. "Okay then Shenzi, your father obtained your pokemon himself when he traveled to Sinnoh as you know. The Golden pokéball is for you, now go ahead and claim It." stated the professor. Shenzi walked to the table and picked up the pokéball then proceeded to release her starting pokemon who turned put to be a male shinx. "HE LOOKS SO CUTE!" claimed Shenzi. "I think his name should be Gold since his yellow fur actually looks golden." The professor handed the feline looking girl a Pokédex and five spare pokéballs. "okay then Dante, its your turn now." said the professor "but before you release your pokemon I must tell you something; the pokemon species your father sent for you is extremely dangerous to handle, you must not falter in front of him, do not act weak, Because if you do he will no longer respect you and destroy you. Do we understand each other?" added grimly. Dante looked down for a second, with a smirk which then became a huge mischievous smile he said: "My father sure picked the perfect pokemon for me, eh?" The boy walked up the pokéball, he held it in his hand feeling the weight in his hand and finally tossing up the pokéball releasing his pokemon. At first when the pokemon was released everyone thought it was a riolu with an odd color pattern but then Dante noticed it was just similar to the jackal, it was around the same size and weight of a riolu but had the hair of a Zoroark, a flowing tail, silver armor-looking plates on shoulders, chest and knees. The pup had more canine features than the jackal and had a black and silver color pattern witch really brought out the extremely sharp claws on both hands and feet. When the pokemon opened his eyes he instantly locked eyes with Dante and extended his right paw as if to trying to touch the trainer. Dante reached back to him and when they touched both the trainer's and Pokémon's eyes shine bright silver light.
Every one in the room was in shock as waves of silver aura energy pulsated from both the pokemon and trainer. But it didn't last long, when things settled down Dante looked up and said: "what you just saw was Lupio and I forging a physic bond" everyone looked worried including Shenzi who earlier was admiring his Pokémon's cuteness. "Lupio?" asked the professor. "Yes, uhm... that's the name of the first stage in their evolutionary line. He told me that and his wild name." answered Dante while scratching the back of his head and smiling.
Meanwhile the Lupio looked around the laboratory until he locked eyes with Shenzi's Shinx. After one quick look Lupio decided they should battle and become friends. As Lupio growled to Gold Dante realized that he had the same thought too. Dante's first battle with his new friend will be against his most beloved friend and said: "Shenzi, I challenge you to a pokemon battle with my Lupio."
Shenzi smirked with confidence. "I accept your challenge, pup." said Shenzi with a huge smile on her face. But before they could start the battle they where interrupted by the professor. "Okay then, at least let me finish giving you both your stuff. First things first." said the professor as she placed herself in between of the trainers and their pokemon. "This is a pokédex, a very important computer for the trainer. Its water, shock, heat and electricity proof but don't loose it because it cannot be replaced" said the professor with an authoritarian tone in her voice. "First I need you both to scan your pokemon." She added. Dante opened the pokédex and scanned Shenzi's Gold first "Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. When Shinx flexes its muscles, it generates electricity. When sensing danger, its fur glistens. Type: Electric. Known moves: Thunder fang, tackle and leer" said the machine. "Wow, now you Lupio" said Dante as he turned to his Pokemon. "Lupio, The gamma wolf pokemon. When in a full moon the male Lupio grow stronger and faster, especially when part of a strong pack. Type: Dark. Known moves: Midnight slash, extreme speed and Howl" claimed the machine in a robotic female tone. "Midnight slash?" asked the trainers to the professor. "Well you see each stage in this species have a powerful special move. This move consists of charging the claw with Dark or psychic energy then attacking the enemy with it. Unlike most pokemon, Lupio must find balance between his physical strength and his special strength to reach their maximum strength." answered the professor incredibly matter of fact way.
"Wow" both trainers expressed being surprised by Dante's Lupio's potential of strength. "Yup, now that both of you have what you came here to do. You can go outside and battle to your heart's content" said the professor. Both trainers looked at each other and their pokemon did the same. In a matter of seconds both trainers found themselves outside ready to battle.
"Use thunder fang gold" ordered the female trainer and the Shinx ran towards Lupio with light blue sparks on his mouth. "Lupio, dodge then use howl to get stronger" said Dante. As the Shinx closed in the wolf jumped at incredible speed and when reached the top he howled with great vigor. "Great now use extreme speed to knock back your opponent" added Dante. The wolf disappeared in mid-air due to the speed he was moving and reappeared behind Shinx then proceeds to tackle the lion pokemon sending him across the field. Shenzi frowned as she asked for tackle. And Gold hurled himself towards the wolf which attempted to hold his ground before being sent off and slamming into a tree. "Let's try midnight slash now" said Dante. The Pokémon's claws where covered with a shadow like energy then Lupio charged forward a great speed striking the Shinx which fell to the ground defeated.
Both Trainers where surprised and speechless at the sheer power of the wolves' main attack. "That Lupio of yours is gonna wreck havoc wherever you go, I will be going to kanto and start my journey there. Have you decided where to go?" remarked the female trainer while returning her defeated Shinx to his pokéball. "Yes I will be going to Sinnoh since that might give me a chance to meet the chaos pokemon." answered the male trainer. "Although if I go unova I might get to meet zekrom... ughhh you know what let me ask Lupio what he think." he added in distress. He asked the pokemon which replied with a shrug. "Alright then that decides it, i'm going to unova and then to Sinnoh and try to capture Giratina when i'm stronger" stated the trainer in a matter-of-fact way. "Capturing Giratina? Seriously Dante when you get this ideas you really don't hold back do you" stated Shenzi while laughing whole heartedly.
