Chapter One

Zorua used scratch against the tree again, causing another mark. I'm never gonna get strong by doing this! I need an opponent! Zorua thought angrily But who's gonna oppose me?
Zorua growled and scrammed the tree again.

"Wow, that looked prett-y powerful!" A feminine voice exclaimed, Zorua looked around frantically, trying to see where the voice was coming from. The voice laughed. "Try looking up."

Zorua gazed up, and a shell wacked his head, "Hey!" Zorua cried.

"Sorry, my shell falls off sometimes." The voice apolagised, now Zorua could see the owner, it wasn't a Pokemon that he'd seen before.

It reminded Zorua slightly of a cross-between a Bidoof and a Piplup. Its body was light blue while its ears, tail, and feet were dark blue, and its face and arms were white. It had a rounded, circular head, with small, triangular ears to the sides. It's eyes were large, dark, and oval in shape; it had a dark-orange nose that was also shaped like an oval, but on its side. It also had speckles to the sides of its face, and light blue bubble-esque fur around its neck. It's body seemed a bit bare, and Zorua later learned that this was where the shell was meant to go. It had small, finger-less and somewhat rounded arms. Its feet—however, unlike its arms, had toes. It also possessed a slightly plank-shaped tail.

"So, I'm gonna assume that your name is Zorua, you don't strike me as the kind to have a nickname, I'm Oshawott, nice to meet ya!" Oshawott said happily, putting its hand out for zorua to shake, then the Oshawott wacked its head.

"How stupid am I? You've got paws, not hands! You can't shake my hand!" The Oshawott exclaimed.

Zorua nodded, before a thought hit him, "Want to have a battle?" He asked.

"Sure, it's not the kind of thing that I normal do, but I gotta warn you, I'm pretty strong!" Oshawott warned, before they leaped to either side of the clearing, other Pokemon started to gather but it didn't put either off.

One Pokemon stepped forward, it was one that Zorua recognised to be Pansage.

Pansage raised his arm. "All right, a one-on-one battle, let's make this a clean fight – and lets go!"

Neither Pokemon moved an inch, "You can have the first move!" Oshawott called. Zorua nodded at this and jumped in the air, where he transformed into one of the watching Pokemon, a Pansear.

Zorua made his illusion use a move – Incinerate, but it seemed to have no affect on Oshawott what-so-ever.

"I failed to tell you that Illusions don't bother me, I can see them, but I know that they're only illusions," Oshawott laughed.

Water squirted out of Oshawotts mouth and hit Zorua square on, Zorua narrowed his eyes slightly before sprinting upto Oshawott and using scratch on her, Oshawott fell back slightly but then smiled, "I've got you just where I wanted," she muttered, but Zorua heard her and started to get a bit nervous.

Oshawotts arm started to glow and the surrounding Pokemon gasped, Zorua tried to get back but he couldn't get back quick enough, Oshawott ran forwards and wacked Zorua with it, Zorua went flying backwards and hit a tree. Pansage ran up to Zorua.

"One. Two. Three. Knock Out!" Pansage yelled, causing his siblings, Panpour and Pansear to sigh.

Zorua looked up sadly. I'm not strong enough yet. He thought miserably.

"You did well." Oshawott said, walking up to Zorua and helping him up. "Here, have an Oren berry, it'll help you get your strength up."

"Why are you helping me?" Zorua asked.

"Because that's what friends are for, right? And besides, I could never just ignore you, you were hurt," Oshawott replied, she seemed hurt that Zorua thought that she'd just ignore a Pokemon in need.

"I don't have friends." Zorua said gruffly, "All of my friends double-crossed me and my Meema,"

"Where is your Meema, I'm sure she wouldn't be happy with you wandering out into the forest."

"Meema was killed by my 'Friends'" Zorua replied.

Oshawotts eyes widened, but for some reason if seemed fake. Almost as if she already knew...

"Everyone! Hide! Trainers are coming this way!" A voice cried and everyone started to scatter, soon Zorua was the only one standing in the clearing.

"Come in here you idiot!" Oshawotts voice called, her voice was comming from the tree, Zorua scampered up just as the humans came into view.

Zorua gasped, "Those are the humans that killed Meema!"

Zoruas eyes glazed in anger, and before Oshawott could do anything to stop him, he'd leapt from the tree with the only purpose of killing the humans that had destroyed his family.
