Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon it's self or the Pokemon, I do own the character, who represents me. I actually do have most of the Pokemon in this story, including my Golbat/Crobat…Demi. I did this a few months ago when I was in a Pokemon, and thought I would submit this. I won't work on it frequently, only if I get in a Pokemon mood again or I just suddenly have ideas. I want to work on my Humanized (wiztail fanfic) more; just lately I really have been stuck on how to write it, I have ideas…but yeah. Oh well, enjoy.
"Arisusa! Are you ready to choose your starter?" Yelled a mother's voice.
An arm reached out from under the blankets, grabbed an alarm clocked and dragged it under the blankets.
A girl's voice came with a moan, "I still have an hour, and let me sleep longer."
"Ah honey," said the mother as she walked in and pulled the blankets off her daughter," you need to pack up, since you didn't do that last night, and feed your Golbat before you leave."
A Golbat flew in
squeaking, and began to circle her. Arisusa sat up, laughed and
opened her arms, "Good morning Demi! How's my baby this
morning?"
Demi smiled and flew into her arms. The mother
smiled and sighed, "It'd be lovely if you took him along instead
for your journey."
Arisusa looked down at
Demi, pat him and shook her head, "He's not used to battling
anyway. I just want to start fresh; Demi is too used to being at
home."
Demi frowned, Arisusa noticed and patted him again,
"Don't worry, I'll come and visit you a few times."
Demi didn't frown more or smile, but continued to stay in Arisusa's arms as she finally got out of bed.
"Well…just get ready anyway," the mother said and walked out of the room.
Arisusa looked at the door to see her mother already gone; she shrugged her shoulders and put Demi on her shoulders as she looked through her closet for the perfect clothes to travel in.
"Ah, perfect!" She said, pulling out a purple shirt that showed her belly, light grey cargo pants, and a pair of black gloves that cut off at the fingers. She sat her Golbat on her bed and changed, she didn't mind for some reason that her Pokemon, male too, sat and watched her change. She walked over to her desk and picked up her hair brush that was sitting upon it, and brushed her hair to the right part. She had really short, dirty blond hair, and most of the bangs, that are really long, swerved over to her left, and our right. You could only see one of her blue eyes. Once she finally had everything on, she stretched and sighed, "Finally I can become a Pokemon trainer."
Demi tilted his head/body to the side, and made a noise. She looked over at him and smiled, "Ah yes that's right, feeding time right?" Demi smiled and flew out of the room, she chased after him.

Arisusa slipped her one strapped backpack over her shoulder, pulled her black shoes on, stood up and turned to her mother with a smile. Of course her mother was worried about her being out traveling, but she only smiled and wished her luck. Crobat only watched from a window as he watched Arisusa leave toward the Professor Willow's laboratory. Although, Arisusa did turn just for a second to see Demi looking out the window with a sad look, and then turn and leave. Arisusa was running, but she stopped and faced the now empty window.
"He…really did want to come with me didn't he. But he's just not cut out for fighting; he was almost killed the first time we tried. Although he did save my life," she said and looked down at her feet, "I remember, when I first met him he was really weak and not cut out for fighting." Arisusa tilted back her head and remember seven years ago when she was only three and found a sick Zubat.
.-.
Young Arisusa ran out of the front door screaming hateful words. She had gotten into a fight with her parents because she wanted a pet Growlithe, but they wouldn't let her.
"I hate you both!" she screamed one last time before running into the darkness. Of course, like all young children though, she eventually got lost. Three year old Arisusa pulled her arms close to her chest and whined as she feared something would come and eat her or something. She turned her head to the right quickly as she heard a squeak. Not a mouse like one, but one like a bat. She ran into the dark forest to find a tiny little Zubat on the ground shivering.
"Huh? Zubat? Are you not feeling well?" she asked as she picked it up and held it close. She put her tiny hand on this forehead, it was burning up.
"Uh oh…I better get you to mommy or even better Nurse Joy." She looked around with a concerned look on her face, she couldn't remember which was it was to the Pokemon Center, nor her home. The Zubat squeaked again as if saying "help me, please help me I'm scared".
Arisusa smiled, "It's alright, I won't let anything happen to you." She looked around and cuddled under a tree with Zubat. "Until it gets brighter out I won't be able to get home. It is my fault for running away, but if I hadn't I wouldn't have found you." Zubat looked up at Arisusa with a flushed face, even through its purple fur. Arisusa started to slowly pat him so he'd go to sleep, "It's funny though, why are you here? Don't most Zubats stay in larger forests or caves? You sure are small; I know I'll call you Demi!" She looked down at the Zubat that was finally asleep.
Within a few minutes her parents found her, she hadn't ran too far from home actually. But when they saw the Zubat in her arms, the fight started all over again.
"Honey its instinct! It'll get better on its own, you can't take it with!" The mother said, trying to take it from her but she only held it closer. All the commotion had Demi squirming and squeaking even more. Arisusa's father didn't do anything, he only watched Arisusa carefully to see how loving his daughter was to the small Zubat.
"But mommy, Demi is really sick! Please let me take him home."
"You already named it!? Ugh! No and that's fi-" but the mother was cut off from the dad grabbing her arm and pulling her away.
"No," he
said, "Let's see if our little three year old can manage. It
can't be too hard, she needs to grow up."
"But, she
hasn't even start school yet!"
"Well the earlier she learns of responsibility the faster she'll learn at anything."
The mother only kept quiet as the three stood their for a few minutes, then the mother turned heel and started heading home, "Alright, you can keep him too if you want to."
Arisusa's face brightened, "Really mommy? Thank you! I love you VERY much!"
Her mother looked down at her with a smile, "Funny, I thought you hated me."
Arisusa laughed, "I was only kidding silly."
"Of course you were."
.-.
"And that's only how I found him," Arisusa mumbled to herself as she kept her eyes to the sky. She saw a Pidgey fly by, normally she'd get excited by the sight of any Pokemon…but she didn't even blink. "Heh, and then it was a three more years later that he evolved, but only to become poisoned too." She closed her eyes once again and remembered the time when she was six, and surrounded by angry Shroomish.
.-.
"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to step on your baby." Arisusa said as she backed away from a pack of angry Shroomish growled. Their bodies shook; she knew they'd release a stun spore or even worse, poison powder at her. But even without the stun spore, she was too stunned to move. She shook her head, her long hair flying and tears flying from her eyes "Save me someone!"
Demi, who usually picked Arisusa up from school but was a little late, twitched his big ears, he could hear her call. The small bat flapped as fast as it could to finally see her cornered by the Shroomish that were about to shoot an attack. Demi squeaked, and Arisusa looked up with a scared look, but then smiled, "Demi you came to save me!"
Demi smiled, swooped down and tackled a Shroomish. It only fell back as another stepped in font of it, it was about to release some powder, but Arisusa yelled out, "Use a bite! It's something I learned at school today, it's very powerful!" Demi nodded and opened its mouth; it bit down hard on the Shroomish. It hurt it, but also aggravated it even more. Purple powder came from the top of its head, Arisusa quickly covered her mouth but the Demi couldn't do anything. It let go of the Shroomish and fell over. But the Shroomish were still angry and wanted to launch another attack, this time at Arisusa. But Demi just got back up, and this time it began to glow. Soon his shape changed from bit to small, Zubat evolved to Golbat! Arisusa's eyes widened, she wanted to go over and hug him, but poisonous gas was still in the air so she didn't move. The now-Golbat flew up quickly, nearly fell but gathered up strength to stay in the air. This time he flapped his wings hard until the mushrooms started to fly away. He used whirlwind and now they were finally gone. Demi nodded his head as if saying "good riddance" but then fell over. Arisusa gasped, luckily the gas was gone too, and ran over to Demi. She scooped him up into her arms and cried.
"Oh no! Demi!" she ran over to him and held him close, "I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking, I should have known they wouldn't like it! I'm sorry! Don't die!" Demi opened its eyes and looked up at Arisusa with a smile, he patted his wings against her back as if saying "it's alright, I'll be fine." She smiled and nodded, then ran home. She had some medicine to cure poisons anyway.
.-.
Arisusa's eyes shot open, she was thinking too much.
"Crap," she whispered under her breath and ran to the lab, "I hope I'm not late, Professor Willow is strict about being on time." Finally she disappeared down the street, Golbat was still watching. It sighed, looked over to see Arisusa's mother washing dishes, then back out the window. It looked at the floor, then back out the window with a determined face. He flew around the house and eventually found an open window and flew out.
