I cuddled the small creature to my chest, warming it by rubbing its back. Although I've watched an assload of television, I've never seen a Pokemon like this.
It was reptilian, I think, with pale green skin. A single horn grew on the back of its head. It had stubby arms and legs, and small tusks stuck out from his mouth. Its eyes were a rosy red color, something I noticed when it opened them and stared into mine.
"Axe?" It squeaked.
I pulled out the device Bianca gave to me earlier. I scanned the Pokemon, and an image popped up.
"Axew, the Tusk Pokemon." The Pokedex said, "Its large tusks have a tendency to break, but each time they grow back, they grow in harder and sturdier."
"Its a Dragon Type." I blinked. "Sweet!"
"Axew?" The small dragon jumped from my arms. It studied the area and ran around a bit. I have to say, it was pretty adorable.
"Hey Axew!" I called to it. I scanned it with my Pokedex again to see its statistics.
"So you're a boy." I read aloud. "And you know the moves Scratch, Dragon Rage, and Dual Chop."
Axew answered me. It sounded positive, so I took it as a "That's correct."
"Axew, my name's Dusk. I want you to be my partner so we can become super strong and beat the best trainers around Unova. Do you want to partner up with me?"
Axew looked down, as if he were in deep thought. He looked up a moment later and happily replied, "Ax-ew!"
I quickly picked him up and hugged him tight. "Thank you, Axew!" I pulled out a Pokeball and tapped his head. He disappeared inside it and the ball sparkled a moment to signify a successful capture. Okay. First Pokemon down. Five more to go! I'm feeling good.
I found a large tree on the Route to set up camp under. I released Axew and went to my bag. I opened it to get a blanket, but a plastic bag fell out and caught my attention. A small note was attached to it.
"Found these on my journey. Thought your Pokemon would like them." I read aloud. "Aw. Dad..." I smiled at my father's present. The bag was filled with small candies wrapped in pretty blue paper. I handed one to Axew to eat. He got a good sniff of it and immediately threw it on the ground. I guess he doesn't have a taste for sweets. After finding a loaf of bread my mother packed for me and splitting it for Axew and I to eat, I set up my blanket on the ground and cuddled with my Pokemon. He was small and warm, which was nice since the wind was kicking up and it was getting colder than a Glalie's Headbutt.
"Axe, Axew..." My dragon Pokemon cooed. I held him closer, feeling his hot breath at my neck. Wow, this is disturbingly sensusal. Let's stray away from that.
"I'm glad you're my partner, Axew." I whispered. For a second I thought he said, "Me too." Weariness is probably making me hear things. I shivered slightly and drifted into sleep.
...
Something was poking my face. My eyes opened lazily and saw Axew in front of me. "Morning." I said.
After packing up and eating more bread, we continued through Route 12.
"Okay Axew. I want you to do some training. We need to get stronger so we can beat up the Gym Leaders." I said to my partner. He nodded and said its name. We saw some tall grass where Pokemon are known to roam. We smiled at each other evily.
I was very impressed by Axew. We went in and raised hell. We ripped through the masses of Combee and Sewaddle. The Bug Pokemon had no chance against us. We also fought off the occasional Tranquil. We were on fire, but we knew our limits. Whenever something strong like a Roselia or Pinsir came by, we hauled ass out of there as fast as we could. With all the fighting and running, we hadn't realized we had already made it to civilization again.
The Village Bridge was an old world town that was built on a huge bridge. The atmosphere there was so inviting and warm. I remember coming here when I was a child with my parents for a get-together with some old friends. I loved the sandwiches here. They're like Arceus himself slapped you in the face with his awesome god powers and said, "You're my bitch," and you're like, "If I can eat this sandwich for every meal, you can mount me and ride me like a Rapidash for all I care." So yeah, the sandwiches at Village Bridge are really good.
Axew was at my side, looking around as people and Pokemon walked around the small town. I nudged him to get him to follow me.
"We can get some really good food around here." I said. Axew squeaked and followed me onto the bridge. We stopped at a small bakery on the side of the giant arch for an actual breakfast.
When we go our sandwiches, I checked my Xtranciever for the time, which was a quarter past eleven in the morning. We needed to get going soon. Axew and I crossed the bridge and were about to enter the next route. And then WHAM! I was knocked over. Jeez, is this a trend?
I got up and expected to see a ditzy blonde, but instead found a small Pokemon growling at me. It was an indigo lizard, with black fur covering its eyes.
I checked my Pokedex. "Deino, the Irate Pokemon. Lacking sight, it's unaware of its surroundings, so it bumps into things and eats anything that moves."
"Axew..." Axew grabbed my leg. His was right to be scared. The Pokedex entry made this small Pokemon sound dangerous.
"Deino!" Pink fire erupted from Deino's mouth. We jumped out of the way of the Dragonbreath and backed away.
"Axew, we're going to have to fight!" I yelled. Axew growled. We were both fearful, but we weren't going to back down from a challange.
"Axew, use Dual Chop!" I commanded. Axew's hands glowed blue and it ran up to slap Deino in the face. The Dark/Dragon Type reared back and used Headbutt on Axew, causing my Pokemon to fall.
"Axew! Scratch!" My Dragon Pokemon slashed at the opponent with its tiny claws. Deino yelped and lowered his head.
"Axe?" My Axew scratched his head. I believe I was think the same thing he was; Was Deino giving up?
We soon found out that the answer to that question was 'no' because Deino roared and released a blast of blue energy in the shape of a dragon from its throat. The blast engulfed Axew, and his cry rang loudly. Axew was thrown to my feet and I grabbed him.
"You okay, Axew?" I asked my partner. He nodded and got back up. He was just like me; insane and never wanting to give up. My body grew warm. I was steaming up, literally. I blew a puff of steam from my nostrils. "I'm fired up! Axew, Dragon Rage!"
The small Pokemon's belly glowed with blue light. Axew fired a dragon of energy at Deino. The opponent fired his own blast, and the two Dragon Rage attacks colided. The explosion that ensued covered the area in smoke. Axew was panting heavily, but still standing. When the smoke cleared, we could see Deino, who was sprawled on the ground.
"Axew! Axe-Axew!" My Pokemon cried out. I realized that Axew was telling me to capture it. I nodded and picked a Pokeball from my bag. "Pokeball, get it!"
My Pokeball bounced on Deino's body. The Pokemon was instantly transformed into red energy and disappeared inside the ball. The Pokeball fell on the ground and began to shake. Axew and I stood motionless. It was a moment later when the ball finally grew still.
I threw my hands into the air. "I caught my first Pokemon!" Axew cheered with me.
I picked up the ball and put it in my bag. I picked up Axew as well. "You deserve a good rest." I pulled out Axew's Pokeball. "Here's to a great adventure, Axew!"
"Axew, Ax-ew!" He high-fived the Pokeball and instantly disappeared inside.
I was about to leave the Village Bridge when a drop of water fell on my face. It suddenly started to rain. Well, that's just great. I spun on my heel and ran back onto the bridge.
I was almost to a rest area when I bumped into a man on the bridge. Remember what I said about the cold wind and the Glaile headbutt? Well, when I ran into this man, it felt even colder. So much so that my intire body was covered in goosebumps after the colision. I turned to see the man, but the rain was falling more intensely, and I couldn't see his face. Rain pelted my face and blinded me. I then lost my footing and fell backwards. I expected to only fall over on my butt, but it took a lot more time then I expected to fall. When I finally landed, it was a lot more wet than I thought. Why was that? Oh yeah! I fell off the edge of the bridge. And I can't swim. Well, I'm losing conscious so, let's pick up this story some other time. I hope...
