Toi et Moi
(You and Me)
First off I'd like to
thank the only (anonymous) reviewer of this story: kit the
kitsune-pheonix and whoever gave this fanfic 14 hits.
Another note; the old
"Godzilla", my first ever starter Pokemon when I
first played the Pokemon Games, is gone (Gone VOOM) after my
Gameboy SP turned on… (Walks off-screen and…CRIES IN
HYSTERICS…walks back in as though nothing happened) Oh well…the
Level 70 Colusseum "Godzilla" is living up to his older
Level 85 counterpart…so, this is based on the beginning storyline
of Pokemon G/S…unless you probably already knew that… someone
should REALLY create a GBA version of it… plus I know
Chikorita are supposed to be docile Pokemon and when raised by bad
trainers they are evil…but what if it was evil at the beginning? No offense to anyone who likes Chikorita...
Story 2: Totodile/Waninoko
It was a new day. The Johto skies over New Bark Town were clear and there wasn't a sign of bad weather. The Totodile continued watching the sky in wonder, his blue gator-like head pivoted upwards as he watched the clouds from his standing position in the small yard.
'Hey, Gator-head!'
'He meant you Totodile…'
Totodile turned abruptly and spotted the Chikorita standing alongside a shrew with four red dots lining its blackish-blue back. The odd dinosaurian with a leaf on its head was staring at the side of the building where a red-head was standing, peering into the window of the laboratory which was home to the trio of Pokemon.
'Doesn't that seem odd to you?' Cyndaquil murmured, although it was a bit strange that he could see with squinted eyes.
'He looks like a tough guy…' Chikorita replied his red eyes focused on the red-head.
'Tough or not, he's not supposed to be standing out there…' Totodile replied as he stood next to Cyndaquil, obviously in between the two. 'How much you wanna bet he's here to steal something?'
'He'd probably steal you first…' Chikorita smirked before hearing rapid foot-falls coming from a house due East. 'Tch…it's that girl…and that Eevee…they've been pests since they moved next door.'
'C'mon…they're nice! You just act like a complete jerk…' Totodile replied.
'That's because I have more battle experience than both of you combined. So I can talk all I want…'
'We're still at level five…' Cyndaquil replied meekly. 'Even if you have experience, you don't know any grass attacks…'
'Sez you mouser!' Chikorita yelled in the fire mouse's face before Totodile stepped in between.
'Back off…'
Chikorita was about to mouth back before hearing a noise from where the red-head was.
"Hey! What are you looking at?" The red head turned slightly and the three Pocket Monsters caught sight of a brunette getting shoved.
"OW!" The brunette landed in a seated position as the Eevee leapt forwards and growled, baring its small teeth. "What was that for!"
"You shouldn't be staring at people. It annoys them…" The red-head replied coldly. "And you shouldn't be walking around with that runt of a Pokemon."
'That's my type of guy…' Chikorita murmured smugly.
'Did you get knocked over the head when you hatched?' Totodile muttered under his breath despite his type disadvantage.
"Sheesh…well sorry…" The brunette grumbled before picking up her Eevee and walking off. "But one of these days, you're going to regret what you said about Eevee…"
'He's got a point…that thing IS a runt…'
'Chikorita!' Totodile glared at the other starter. Chikorita only rolled his eyes at the Big-Jaw Pokemon.
'Sore-e for stating my opinion…' The Leaf Pokemon replied before a tall figure called them from inside the lab. 'Great…this guy again…what the hell does he want?'
'Probably to give us food…' Totodile grumbled with sarcasm before helping the shuddering Cyndaquil towards the house.
'Weaklings…' Chikorita muttered under his breath before following behind. It glanced towards the red head and smiled slyly. 'I could only wonder how powerful a Pokemon I'd be if you were my trainer…'
"Chikorita! C'mon…one of you is going to be picked to help Mona on an errand!"
Totodile and Cyndaquil were already at the main room of the lab, greeting their friends. Chikorita only frowned at the brunette trainer as she was about to pet him and turned his head away, almost slapping her hand with the head-leaf.
'You're not the trainer I am searching for…I doubt you'll ever be…'
'That's mean…' Cyndaquil murmured. Totodile only glared down at the grass type, wishing he could smack him over the head without getting in trouble.
"Elm…I really don't think Chikorita likes me much…" The brunette commented as she moved away.
'I really don't think he likes anyone…' Eevee rolled its eyes as it settled on the newly starting trainer's shoulder.
"Chikorita's not really social…" Professor Elm commented as he eyed the Pokemon who had blocked their view of his face with his leaf. "He's an exception from the others at the Chikorita ranch…in his own case."
'Good deduction Sherlock…' Chikorita huffed.
'Don't make me come down there and bite you…' Totodile growled.
'Or would you rather me?' Eevee asked, standing up for the blue crocodilian.
'Shut up…' The leaf Pokemon glowered.
Totodile muttered in distaste before glancing up at the brunette who was looking between him and Cyndaquil. She had a good enough mind to know how difficult it would be to raise a bad mannered Pokemon with Chikorita's attitude.
Totodile was a fighting Pokemon but he had good standards which included not biting the hands of caring ones…now what Eevee had gone through in the past…that was something different.
Cyndaquil was a good choice as well since the Pokemon was meek but very courteous. Well…if only it grew a backbone it would be able to take down Chikorita on its own without relying on Totodile.
Totodile continued watching the soon-to-be trainer who was trying her best to decide.
"Dang-it…it's like the event with the Wolf, Sheep, and Cabbage…" Mona grumbled. "It's fine if I pick Chikorita but he dislikes me…which means he's not the best choice. If I pick Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita might get in a fight. If I choose Totodile, Chikorita would beat the crap out of Cyndaquil…"
Hearing the last point, Cyndaquil quivered and started shivering in panic. It didn't want to be alone with that…rabid-plant-thing… Totodile sighed and carefully rubbed the back of Cyndaquil's head, calming down the fire-type.
"Sorry…" Mona quickly apologized before sighing aloud and then… "No choice then…" She picked up the two Pokeballs.
"You can't take two…" Elm pointed out…
"I know…I just have an idea. Switch them back and forth and whichever I pick without knowing who's in there…"
Totodile understood instantly what was going on. The brunette was going to have to choose blindly…that meant there was a chance of him or Cyndaquil being chosen along with Chikorita. A familiar red-light later and Totodile was inside the Pokeball, awaiting his fate. He could tell he and Cyndaquil were being switched around several times with the sarcastic-leaf-Pokemon…then there was a silence and Totodile sensed a hand quivering back and forth between him, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil.
'Pick me…no…pick Cyndaquil…actually EITHER ONE BUT CHIKORITA!'
Totodile found his answer in the form of a bright light. The gator kept its eyes clamped shut at the sudden brightness before its vision cleared.
'Me…' It murmured aloud. At least Cyndaquil was safe inside the Pokeball. His friend was safe…that was all that mattered…
"Well…I guess I'm picking Totodile…" Mona said aloud as she picked up the empty ball and then held onto the gator. "I can give him a nickname…right?"
"Well…technically you can. He's your Pokemon…"
"Alright then…" Mona glanced down at Totodile who glanced back up at her. "Hm…you know…you look strong…ah…what the heck. Godzilla…"
A silence passed as 'Godzilla' allowed the name to sink in.
'She probably thinks highly of me…I'd better live up to it…" Godzilla thought to himself.
"That's an interesting name…"
"Eh…yeah…I was watching a monster movie so…" Mona sweat-dropped.
'…oh…' Godzilla looked back down. '…ah well…a name's a name…'
"So…where does Mr. Pokemon live again?"
'He's a Pokemon?' The Totodile started envisioning a human with a random Pokemon head.
"He's on route 30. It won't take you that long a walk there. It's pretty close to Cherrygrove City and I've heard you've been there before…"
"Ah…oh I remember!" Mona replied suddenly before adjusting the fender portion of her hat and bolting out the door with both Pokemon just after she said a very fast "Bye!" and disappeared on route 29.
Outside, the red-head continued watching the event before the girl bolted out with a second Pokemon.
"Hm…I guess it's my turn for a starter…" He murmured before slowly walking towards the window and breaking in. Elm turned abruptly at the sound of the window shattering.
"What-! Who are you?"
"That's none of your concern…" The red-head replied before grabbing a random Pokeball off the table. "But for future reference: my name's Tom…in case you wonder who the recent Pokemon Master is…"
"Stop…!" Elm grabbed the remaining Pokeball and released the Pokemon inside: Cyndaquil.
"Hm…I guess that means I chose Chikorita…" Tom commented before releasing the leaf Pokemon. Cyndaquil's jaw dropped when he realized he was face-to-face with the grass type without Totodile (recently named Godzilla) to back him up.
'Oh...no...' He whimpered.
'Well…it looks like I got what I wanted…' Chikorita smirked before tackling the fire-type down. Cyndaquil was thrown back from the hard hit and the back of his head struck the desk, knocking the fire-rat out cold.
"Cyndaquil…!" The professor ran towards the small Pokemon's side and picked it up before the red-head disappeared out the door.
"Well…you seem to be a strong Pokemon…" Tom smirked as Chikorita rested inside the Pokeball.
'And you seem to be a powerful trainer…' Chikorita replied.
Godzilla continued resting on the floor with Eevee as they watched the brunette trainer receive the Pokédex and oddly colored egg. Along the way, the Totodile had battled three Wild Pokemon whilst chaperoning the human and Eevee. It felt oddly stronger as if it had gained power from winning. Godzilla continued poking one of its blue arms before staring at the egg.
'What is that?' The Totodile asked aloud.
'A Pokemon egg…but I've never seen one that looked like that…' Eevee replied, swishing its bushy tail back and forth on the floor, not really cleaning it, more or less swiping dust around. 'Those triangles look weird…'
'You're telling me…' Godzilla muttered as he observed the egg and felt his vision spinning. 'Those triangles are making me dizzy…very…dizzy…'
Eevee's ears went horizontal and the dog-fox moved away slowly. 'Don't vomit on me Goji…'
The Totodile closed his eyes and shook his head back and forth to get his vision cleared before turning towards the windows. "Toto…?"
Something just didn't seem right…everything outside was still…very still and silent…
"What's up…?" Eevee inquired once it noticed the Pokemon's expression.
"I don't know…I just think something's very wrong…" Godzilla replied absentmindedly.
"But what…?"
"Well…it was nice meeting you Professor Oak, Mr. Pokemon…" Godzilla found himself picked up by the trainer while the Eevee leapt onto Mona's shoulder. The Totodile resumed his look outside as they headed out before getting startled by a loud ringing from a Pokégear. "YIKES! Godzilla calm down…okay, hold on a sec!"
The Totodile and Eevee jumped down as the brunette pulled the Pokégear from her pocket and held it close enough to hear and speak into. "Hello?"
"Mona, there's been a robbery! Someone just stole Chikorita…"
The Totodile and Eevee stared; both had worried expressions on their faces as they watched the stern look grow on the human's face.
"That guy…" Mona grumbled under her breath, before returning to the 'phone'. "We'll try to cut him off at Cherrygrove City."
"Be careful with Chikorita…he attacked Cyndaquil…"
The Totodile's teeth clenched just thinking about it. Unknown to the Water-Type, his normal reddish eyes began to glow a dangerous white color.
"Godzilla," Godzilla snapped out of it at the sound of the human's voice and glanced up. "Eevee, we've got to go…both of you, RETURN!"
The Totodile and Eevee were recalled by two beams of red light before the human had sprinted off towards the city. Godzilla felt his container do an abrupt lift as the human nimbly jumped over a rock ledge before sinking back down. The Totodile couldn't keep his mind off of how his friend Cyndaquil was doing and what was going on Chikorita's head when he attacked.
'Chikorita…you'd better not have done it purposely…' Godzilla thought aloud before the human came to an abrupt halt. He forced himself into the wall of the Pokeball and tried to listen to what was going on outside.
"Well…you got yourself a Pokemon from that professor as well did you?"
"And I see you stole that Chikorita…"
"Oh…you mean the one that was more powerful than that weakling Cyndaquil? I don't do weak Pokemon…they always take too long to become stronger."
"Really…? Then if I defeat you, you'll give back Chikorita…?"
"Nah…this one proved himself…but a battle's a battle, go Chikorita!"
"Go Godzilla!" Godzilla found his vision blurred by that same white light but this time closed his eyes before he fully appeared on the asphalt road. The Totodile looked in the direction he was facing and stared directly at Chikorita.
'Well…I see you got stuck with the girl…' The Pokemon taunted as he spun his leaf once.
'I see you got yourself stuck with a thief…' The Totodile replied before balancing on the heels of his hind legs and balling up his clawed paws, a common fighting stance. 'Why the heck did you attack Cyndaquil?'
'Simple…he got in my way…I'd do this to anyone who does so…'
'I suppose that means you're going to obey that thief's every command and become a menace as a fully evolved Pokemon?'
'If my master commands it…' Chikorita replied before charging at the Totodile. Godzilla's eyes narrowed and concentrated on the grass-type's weak points before springing out of the way of the spinning leaf and dealing a hard scratch to Chikorita's backside. Chikorita skidded and hissed in pain before glaring at Godzilla who stood in place, clutching his arm which got slashed from the leaf as his eyes started turning a white color. 'Better finish you off…'Godzilla'
Godzilla continued feeling as though he was losing focus as Chikorita continued ramming into him. The crocodilian's eyes clamped shut as his teeth clenched while underneath his eyelids, a white glow began becoming more and more visible.
'Cyndaquil…you…hurt…Cyndaquil…I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!'
At the last hit, the Totodile's eyelids opened as well as its jaw before the razor teeth sank into the leaf. Chikorita yelled from the pain as Godzilla kept his teeth embedded into the leaf. He then clutched at it with his claws, his eyes still glowing and without pupils (which unnerved Chikorita), before a white glow formed in his mouth.
"Godzilla…RAGE!"
The blast, greatly resembling Godzilla's namesake's famous attack, struck Chikorita head-on; throwing the grass type backwards before he skidded once or twice then fell with a painful thud on the ground. Chikorita staggered upwards for a moment as it took the time to glare at the Totodile 'darn you…', then it fell over, unconscious. The red-head, Tom, glared at the Totodile before recalling Chikorita.
"You won…are you happy now?" Tom grimaced towards the brunette and the victorious Pokemon.
"I'd be a lot better if you handed back Chikorita. That thing's a menace to other Pokemon if you ask me…"
"Then I'd better be the one to raise it…better not let an unsuspecting trainer raise a powerful Pokemon like this…in fact…every powerful Pokemon in the world is mine for the keeping…" Then he bolted, knocking aside the brunette trainer.
"Yeah, we'll see about that ketchup-head!" Mona shouted after him after regaining her footing. Godzilla still kept watching where the red-head had fled before looking back at its trainer who had broken the silence. "Godzilla, we'd better go back and see how Cyndaquil is doing…I just hope Elm knows that Chikorita's not something that can be reasoned with."
The Totodile nodded before they both made their way back to the town, jumping down from the rock ledges the entire way.
'I hope Chikorita learns his lesson…I'm lucky enough to have a kind trainer as a friend…I only hope Cyndaquil does as well…if he's okay…'
Meanwhile, Tom and Chikorita were walking towards Violet City. The grass Pokemon felt a bit of disappointment at the defeat as he walked next to his new trainer as well as a stinging pain from the leaf where 'Godzilla' had bitten him.
'Darn that Godzilla…he ruined my chance at impressing my trainer…' Chikorita fumed as it glared at the ground.
"Chikorita…" The grass type looked upwards to his new trainer who was glaring ahead. "Don't disappoint me again…I don't tolerate failure in my team…and I most certainly don't want to be known as the one who was beaten by a girl…"
Chikorita almost laughed at that last remark but remembered that it was going to be a giant setback if he ever encountered that Totodile again…
The Totodile continued looking downcast after it walked the path towards Cherrygrove alongside both Eevee and human trainer. From what he heard from the professor, Cyndaquil wasn't capable of battling because of the massive injury dealt to him and until further notice was to stay in New Bark Town.
"Hey, Godzilla…"
Godzilla looked up at the human who was half-smiling down at him.
"Cyndaquil will be okay…he'll be safe with my mom and the Professor. Let's just focus on staying one or more steps ahead of Tom and Chikorita in the league…if he thinks that he can get every powerful Pokemon like that (snaps fingers), we're going to make sure he learns things the hard way…plus he's going to learn that hurting one of our friends has consequences…"
'You got that right!' Eevee barked, attempting to give a thumbs-up.
Godzilla smiled slightly and uttered a "To-to…" of gratitude before they carried on.
Song Fitting Chapter: None Found...yet
Uh…I don't know what to make of the ending. And I'm debating if I should add less mentioned Pokemon like Caterpie to the fanfic. Oh well…it would add more to the storyline…
