So yeah I had the first two chapters written out already, so I'll go ahead and post this one too. :D Sorry it's a bit shorter than the last one.
(Flame POV)
I will never understand human ways, nor the ways of a male. Both are some of the strangest customs known to all Pokèkind, even my own kind. Every Charizard on the planet seems to think I want the strongest one to become my mate, when they forget that I have a mate, and hatchlings. Why in the name of Arceus would I want another idiot to take care of? Not that my hatchlings were bad; they were wonderful. Char-iuk was a brilliant battler, and Drano was fast on his scales, a beautiful balance, if I did say so myself. Mates were the issue. And time and time again, Draco kept proving me right.
I could only huff and glare at Draco when he came into the clearing, his paws wrapped around something, blocking it from my view. Char-iuk had Drano wrapped around his head as the two of them ran over to my idiot Dragonite mate.
"Papa! Where were you? You were supposed to teach me ember today remember?" Char-iuk yelped, hopping up and down.
"Yep!" Drano agreed. "Because we is going to be as strong as you are one day." I let out a small snort, before Drano corrected himself. "I mean- we /are/ going to be as strong as you and Mama one day!"
I stood up, and padded over to Draco. "Where were you?" I growled. "It was your turn to watch the hatchlings today, not go off and..." I was cut off as Draco lifted one of his paws to show a human hatchling, sucking on his other claw, fast asleep. "What's that?" I asked in shock, ignoring the little cries of 'I wanta see!' from below.
"It's a human hatchling." Draco stated, like I really couldn't tell. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Really? I couldn't tell that." I snapped back.
Draco sighed in response. "Spark and I found him and his mother being chased by the Rocket men outside of the human herd. They sent Growlithes after them and we tried to stop them." I felt my red eyes widen in shock. The Rocket men were normally more scared of this area because of my battle-mates.
"Where's his mother?" I asked slowly, almost not wanting to hear the answer.
"She didn't make it." Draco said softly. "I think she had either been chased for many moons or she had escaped them. She looked like she hadn't seen a decent meal for seasons." He looked down at the hatchling, pulling his claw out of the hatchling's mouth. The hatchling's little brown eyes opened and he stared up at me and started cooing. "I couldn't send him to the human herd, the Rockets would know to find him there. Besides, I think he's a Chosen. His mother understood Spark and I, and it's passed down from Mother to Child."
I held my paw out to the hatchling, to which he gripped it and started talking some human hatchling talk. "So you thought it was smart for us to raise him? What would our human say? We can't keep this from him, nor any of the other humans that come here. When they find out, they will take him away." I told him, to which the hatchling started tearing up.
"Aww... don't cry baby brother." Drano cooed, surprising me that he had wound his way up to his father's shoulder. He held out the end of his tail to the infant. "Mama is just worried, and when Mama gets worried she starts getting mad at Papa." The hatchling laughed and started babbling in his little language. Draco looked at me with a pleading look in his eyes. I only sighed and nodded, as Draco lowered the hatchling to the ground to introduce him to Char-iuk.
"Your a brother?" Char-iuk said as he sniffed the hatchling. "You don't look like a Charmander, or a Dratini." Drano slipped down next to Char-iuk and started flicking his tail for the little human. The hatchling giggled and reached out for Char-iuk's tail, chanting "boter" coping his earlier words, and surprising both me and Draco, as he said it more in our language and not his own.
"Mama?" Char-iuk limped over to us, the little hatchling attached to his tail. "What's his name? Because we can't just call him hatchling all the time." I blinked; I hadn't thought that they would want to keep him here too. I sighed in capitulation.
"Well I don't know. I haven't really thought of a name." Draco said confused.
I almost face-palmed at him. 'Of course he never thought of that...' I thought to myself. "How about Cha-ko?" I suggested. "After my brother, back at the valley." A little screech of joy told me our newest addition liked his new name.
Draco smiled. "So Cha-ko it is." He said as Drano and Char-iuk started teaching Cha-ko how to play their favorite game of chase. I sure hoped to Arceus that we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
Yep :D Ash has his name, Cha-ko. The next chapter will of course skip a few months forward in time.
