JUST TO CLARIFY…ALL OTHER POV'S WILL BE IN THIRD PERSON, WHILE DEATH'S POV WILL BE IN FIRST PERSON.
TWO:
THE PWT
The first thought I had when I woke up was a rather random one. No more fresh meat.
I would have to eat PokeFood and Poffins and PokeBlocks and all of those nonsense foods. Oh well, it was worth it.
I found that my back legs were no longer paralyzed and I felt a-ok, so I assumed that been taken to a Pokemon Center. I stared out of my ball to see Dynamic and the Ampharos sparring with each other, exchanging ThunderPunches. Although Pokeballs looked solid from the outside, they were transparent from the inside, allowing the Pokemon to see outside. The outside world was tinted black and yellow due to the colors of the Pokeball I was in.
I also found that the Pokeballs were incredibly comfortable; it felt like I was sitting on the bed of a king. I felt a sucking sensation as I was released from my Pokeball, and I found myself face to face with my new trainer. He had hazel-gold eyes and messy black hair covered by a hat that was backwards. He wore a grey and red jacket, black jeans, red and white running shoes, and a goofy grin.
"Hello, I am Jakob, champion of the Jhoto region." he smiled slyly, "These are my Pokemon." He released three other Pokemon, "That's Fleck and Dynamic," he said pointing to the Ampharos and the Typhlosion, "This is Stinger," he pointed to the Beedrill, "This is Psi and Vapor." He finalized, pointing to an Alakazam and a purple Vaporeon.
My heart sped up as I looked at her, she was a gorgeous creature, and I could barely contain myself from blushing. I looked away.
"Now a name for you…" the trainer thought aloud, and I quickly began scratching at the ground with my claws.
My mother had been very interested in human things, and she had taught me how to read and write. So I scratched, M-Y N-A-M-E I-S D-E-A-T-H on the dirt.
"My name is Death." Jakob read, "Alright, Death, welcome to the team." I barked and wagged his tail.
…
I stood a ways away from my opponent; the purple Vaporeon. Jakob had split us up into sparing groups. I eyed my surroundings to see how I could use them to my advantage. To my right there was a golden fountain, water would be useful for my opponent, so I had to keep her away from it, but to my left was a wooded area with many trees, and with my sharp claws I was fairly adept at climbing, and I didn't see how Vapor could climb. Behind Vapor was a small bridge over some water and behind me was the Charizard Bridge.
"Ready?" Vapor asked in a melodious voice, I felt my heart beat faster as adrenaline pumped through me, I nodded swiftly. Immediately she rushed forward in a Quick Attack, and I met her speed challenge with Sucker Punch, we collided and knocked each other back; I dug my sharp claws into the ground to keep myself from skidding too far, and rushed forward, teeth bared and electricity charging through my mouth as I used ThunderFang.
Vapor, who didn't have very long claws, skidded farther than I did and was therefore unable to dodge my swift attack. I grabbed her around the scruff of her neck and sent her flying into a tree, though it tickled my conscious to harm such a lovely creature…Not now, Death…focus on the battle. I then disappeared in my Dig attack, but before I could resurface I was slammed by a torrent of water.
I inhaled deeply by accident, and immediately choked on water, I quickly resurfaced, my black and gold fur drenched. She chuckled at my drenched fur.
"What's a matter, afraid to get wet?" I was then swarmed with floods of memories…
Flashback…
A young Poochyena laughed at me, her red eyes twinkled with amusement,
"Come on, you afraid to get a little wet?" she laughed and splashed some of the lake water into my face.
"What if there's Sharpedo?" I asked nervously, eyeing the beautifully clear water,
"Silly, it's a lake! Sharpedo live in the ocean!" she replied, ruby eyes twinkling. After this realization, I laughed and leaped in after her.
We swam around, diving and playing and just being pups, when it happened. A dark shape formed under my friend…grabbing her leg
"Help!" she screamed and I swam towards her, panic stricken,
"Lily!" I cried in desperation, but I could only watch as a gigantic Sharpedo dragged my first love underwater…
"Death? Um…De-ath?" Vapor said uncomfortably, "What's a matter? Is something wrong with me?"
"No, uh…n-no. you look beau—you look fine." I remarked absentmindedly, "Come on!" I crouched down, my tail flicking, and I promptly got sprayed in the face with Water Gun. I growled and shook off the water, and saw Vapor readying another water gun, so I rushed forward and knocked her into another tree with Sucker Punch. She got up slowly and smiled,
"You're the best opponent I had for a long time." Then she fired several rapid blasts of high pressured water my way. I ducked and twisted and leaped, but got hit in the face with one blast, which was quickly followed by two others. Thinking fast I then lay very still.
"Death?" her voice raised in alarm, and my gut tingled with guilt, but I wanted to win this battle. I smelled her getting closer, felt her pawsteps coming for me, then I charged a ThunderFang and sprang on her, gently lodging my teeth around her throat.
"Gotcha." I laughed, my tail flicking with amusement as I stared into her deep violet eyes. I felt my heart race as it always did when I stared at her, and I struggled not to blush. I leaped off of her. I looked back at her only to see a Poochyena…
"Lily…" I breathed, but when I blinked it was only Vapor. She looked at me, concern in her eyes,
"Who was she?" she asked softly, and I looked at her, taken aback, but them murmured in reply,
"My first love. Taken away by a Sharpedo while we were swimming in a lake."
"Sharpedo live in the ocean." She pointed out,
"Normally, but the lake was connected to the ocean by a river…maybe he was after an adventure…or different food…" I choked and looked away to hide the tears forming in my eyes. I blinked to clear them.
"Death…" she whispered, but I stiffly turned and approached my new trainer.
…
I stared at the huge, dome-like building in front of me, on the front it had a golden Pokeball that was engraved, 'Pokemon World Tournament' engraved on the top half of the Pokeball, with 'PWT' engraved on the bottom.
"This is it, guys." Jakob said to his team, "Let's do this." And with that he pushed opened the double doors, and we all took our first step into the Pokemon World Tournament.
