Little Tsu: Not gonna beat around the bush this time so here's the next chapter of the story. Hope ya enjoy.

Ch: 2

"Not again! That blasted Scraggy's struck again!"

"Just what is that pokemon's problem anyways? He keeps ruining our work out here. Not even our Timbur are able to get anything done cause they keep getting knocked out by him."

As this went on, black eyes were watching them closely from behind one of the work piles that was within the desert. They belonged to the very pokemon that the workers were complaining about. Snickering lightly to himself, he watched as they began to work on the construction site once more. The project had been going on for a few months now, but he always ended up ruining it at some point in the day. After all,...this was his territory and these humans had no right to be building on it. Especially, not without his permission.

Letting his hands fall to the sides of his "pants", he lifted them up, pulling the skin upwards with them as they had started to sag a little too low on him. He was just glad that he didn't have to worry about them falling while he ran or went into a fight or something. That'd be difficult to deal with constantly.

While watching the construction workers and their Timbur get back to work again, he saw two of the workers talking amongst themselves further away from the construction site. Getting slightly curious on this, he made his way closer to the two of them; being careful so as not to be seen. As he got in closer, the voices were suddenly picked up on him.

"So you sure about this? I mean, this Scraggy's a tough one to deal with."

"Not entirely, but it's the best shot we've got right now. They're close by in the desert so they'll be here real soon. Besides, I heard that this trainer is one of the toughest from the Sinnoh Region. We'll just have to put our trust in them."

So they were planning on trying to get rid of him were they? Well, he'd like to see them try. No way was he going to go down without a fight...And he had yet to have lost a single time. After all,...trainers around these parts were weak compared to him so he had nothing to worry about.

...Right?

Later that afternoon as the workers were continuing on building on the site with the help of their Timbur, a blur of yellow streaked by, only to leap up into the air and crash through a steel beam that had been halfway into being welded to the rest of the building's structure, sending it crashing into the desert ground below. This had caused the ones that were nearby to scatter out of harm's way before glancing up towards where the beam had once been, only to spot the very Scraggy that had been terrorizing them.

"It's that Scraggy again! He just doesn't know when to quit!"

As he watched the construction workers send their Timbur up to get him, he smirked at the site before suddenly whipping his right arm out to his side, slamming the side of his hand into the steel beam that he stood next to, causing it to snap in half and tumble towards the ground below, knocking the Timbur away from the site when they had tried to get near.

He had used his Brick Break attack; one of his favorite moves to use actually.

As he was about to initiate yet another Brick Break attack though, a shadowed figured suddenly appeared behind him, catching him off guard as it swooped down and smashed into his back. Crying out faintly in surprise, he managed to catch himself on another beam and glance around with narrowed eyes as he tried to spot his attacker. The sound of beating wings was heard directly behind him again and he quickly leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding yet another Aerial Ace.

Landing upon the beam that he, himself, was on, he quickly became aware of just what his attacker was. Standing there before him was a bird pokemon that looked like a baby eagle with blue grey colored feathers, little wings, white ruffled feathers around its neck and head, and a single large two toned feather sticking up in the middle of their forehead; the bottom half being red while the top was white.

Watching this slightly smaller pokemon narrow his dark grey eyes at him as he rapidly flapped his wings at his sides as if to intimidate him, he couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. It was just really amusing to him truthfully cause the smaller pokemon looked more cute than anything else...Hardly intimidating if you asked him. However, before he was about to attack, a voice was heard from below; one that he'd never heard before.

"Falcon...Ya need ta pull back on your Aerial Ace a bit more. That was too low and ya almost crashed into the beam instead...That was a good try though. You're definately improving."

Curious as to who the voice belonged to, he glanced down towards the ground and off to the distance a tiny bit. Standing there a few feet ahead of the construction workers was someone that hadn't been there before with a male Weavile at their side with his arms crossed over his chest. After all, he certainly would've remembered a young girl and this was one that he had never seen before...Was this girl perhaps the one that he had overheard those humans talking about?...The one from Sinnoh?

He didn't have time to think about anything more on the subject, that was this girl, for he spotted the Rufflet coming at him before suddenly switching his charging position to have one of his taloned feet in front of him to strike with Slash. Acting quickly, he lashed out with his right hand as he collided the Slash attack with his own Brick Break, sending both him and the Rufflet skidding backwards. Luckily, they both seemed to have good balance or they would've surely fallen by now, though his opponent would've been just fine since they could fly...Lucky featherbrain.

Blinking slightly, he suddenly found himself face to talons with Falcon's Crush Claw, sending himself flying off the steel beam and crashing into the desert sand below with the bird's talons still attached to his face. Once he impacted with the ground though, the smaller pokemon released him and jumped back, landing on the sand a few feet away. Well, that actually hurt a lot.

However, as he slowly managed to get up into a knelt position, a Dusk Ball came into his line of sight, only to hit him on the head as he disappeared inside in a flash of dark light. Try as he might to break free of the Dusk Ball, he just wasn't strong enough and it finally tinged.

Capture successful.

The young trainer walked over to the pokeball that he was now trapped inside of and knelt down in the sand as she picked it up. When she did though, she suddenly released him from his confinement causing a look of confusion to come across his features as he stared at the short girl before him. The girl seemed to understand why he had such an expression on his features because she actually smiled and even laughed a tiny bit.

"Sorry to have captured you Scraggy, but I figured it was the only way for ya ta stop destroying their work." He blinked slightly as he watched the young trainer grasp onto one of the Dusk Balls that lined her pack's strap that was across her chest at a slant before returning her Rufflet back into his pokeball.

His gaze didn't last long there though as it was soon drifted upon the male Weavile that stood there at her side; a crimson clawed hand propped up onto his waist and his icy blue eyes narrowed in a slightly cocky fashion. Now he wasn't no expert on pokemon, but he had seen a Weavile before that another trainer possessed and they definately didn't have crimson claws or ice blue eyes so he highly doubted that this one's colors were normal...Or was even a shiny for that matter.

His thought process was soon cut off as he quickly jerked his gaze back onto the girl as she was rising up onto her feet once again and brushing the sand off of her brown cargo shorts and knees. "But ya know...you're a tough pokemon Scraggy...You can leave now if ya want and not bother these guys anymore, but...I'd actually like you ta join my team...How about it?"

So this girl was giving him a choice? Hadn't she caught him already?...Guess she was able to release him if he chose that path, but this trainer...She actually wanted him on her team and thought he was strong. He only gave this a moment's thought before he closed the distance between himself and the young teen as he hugged her right leg while glancing up at her.

This caused the trainer to chuckle lightly towards this, but then smiled sweetly as she nodded her head. "Alright then...Traveling with me it is then. The name's Kira. Welcome ta the team...Chrono."

Chrono?...So that's what this girl was gonna call him now? Hm...Letting the nickname sound off in his head a few times, he finally grinned as he nodded his head. It had a nice ring to it and it also sounded tough.

Perfect for a tough guy like himself that's for sure.

Bringing his gaze onto the construction workers one last time as his new trainer began to walk off with that Weavile following her, he smirked and thrusted his hand up in front of himself as his way of flicking them off before running off after his trainer. This girl had given himself a chance to start a whole new life with a ton of battles and adventures...A chance for him to become even stronger than he already was. No way was he about to pass that up.

Watch out trainers of Unova, cause here he comes!

To be continued.

Little Tsu: Well, that was it for this chapter. If you didn't notice by now, Scrafty is dreaming so he's having flashbacks from when he was captured as a Scraggy by Kira & it'll keep going right up until he finally evolved into the Scrafty that he is today. Once that happens, the flashbacks will end & Chrono will wake up.
