AN: Hey guys. Kinda wish this story got alittle more traction but oh well. If you like my work, please check out my other stories. Anyway Last Chapter we learned about Fenreld's past, how he met Ralts, how he ended up in Kanto, obtained Charmander and his Hoenn styled Pokedex, and had a heartwarming chat with May, and left Professor Oak's lab to start his journey in Kanto. Now I'd like give a shout to Piro-san, who is allowing me to use an idea I liked from his story "Red Eyed Master". What this idea is, well that will be a surprise that will be revealed in this chapter. I hope that the idea is well received.

I want to now thank GGPD, Hybrid of Fate, and Fire4Heaven for their reviews.

Onwards with the story!

Chapter 2: On the Road to Viridian City

We find Fenreld and his shiny female Ralts at the gates of Pallet Town, looking back at the small town that is only on the map due to Professor Oak's lab as if saying good bye to the town. "We may not even come back here Ralts. I just hope that my Aunt is out there and is safe" He said, feeling worried about his only living relative.

"I'm sure she's ok. Who knows? We might find her as we travel." Ralts said trying to comfort her partner.

"Yeah, You're right. Besides… we need to get to Viridian City, May will likely be back home in Petalburg within a day on her bike and will want to talk to us." He said as he turned around with Ralts on his shoulder.

'When will admit that they love each other… It's so obvious to everyone.' Ralts mentally sighed.

[10 minutes later: Route 1]

Fenreld and Ralts were keeping an eye out for some Pokémon to catch, and finally spotted a Pidgey. "Well, not a great addition, but will fill the void til Charmander evolves" Fenreld says to Ralts via the telepathic so not to startle the little bird. He knew it was cruel, but he knew he'd need air support in case of emergencies.

"I suppose just don't tell that to this Pokémon." Ralts knew what he was talking about, having be around a gym leader and a Professor for the last 9 months, she knew that Charmander would grow wings when fully evolved.

"Alright! Go Ralts! Freeze the Pidgey in place with Confusion!" He orders, Initiating the battle with Wild Pokémon. With that Ralts' body gave off a faint blue glow and just as the Pidgey heard the Trainer's voice, it too was enveloped in the psychic energy unable to move and retaliate, the attack slowly draining its energy. "Now Fen!" Ralts yelled, feeling the Pidgey about faint. He nods and pulls out a Pokeball, one of 5 Oak gave him, and threw it at the flying type Pokémon, hitting it square in the head, causing it to be sucked into the ball. The wiggled a moment only for it to 'PING!' signalling the successful catch.

"Thanks Ralts, great job!" He said picking her up and hugs his partner, not noticed the slight tinge of pink on her cheeks. She wasn't expecting the physical contact so suddenly.

"Y-You're welcome" She shyly responses only for her head to shot up. "I'm sensing who I assume to be a trainer, they have an electric type out their ball! A mile to the east!"

"From Pallet Town?" He askes only getting a nod from his Pokémon. "Must be Ash… I did see a Pikachu running around the lab. How are they getting along? Can you tell?" Getting a negative head shake. "Not from here" She responses.

He nods, "Well let's not bother him, even if Delia asked me to keep an eye on him from time to time. If he needs help this soon, he's won't make it." Earning a small giggle from the Feeling Pokemon. "Let's go. It's starting to get humid, I think it's going to rain and we're a long way from Viridian." And starts walking away from where Ash was being an idiot and was about to get chased by a whole flock of Spearow, and meeting someone who would be his bestfriend.

5 minutes later Ralts shivers. "There are a lot of angry Spearow back in the direction of that boy you call Ash, something about nailing one of them in the head with…a rock?" She sweat dropped relaying that last part, getting a facepalm from her trainer. "Seriously… a rock? Then his Pikachu isn't listening to him… fantastic. Let's just keep going… I stand by what I said earlier" He said, with Ralts agreeing with him as they continue moving towards Viridian City.

30 minutes later they find a Bulbasaur next to it's unconscious trainer, blood could be seen slowly pooling under their head. "Hey! Are you alright!?" Our hero said running over. "Bulbasaur what happened?"

"He says that she rolled her ankle on a pebble only hit her head off the boulder next to them now." Ralts translated taking note of the blood on the side of the large rock. This worried Fenreld greatly, she needed immediate medical attention, but all he had was some gauze he carried for emergencies such as this and should anything happen to him or his Pokémon.

"Ralts, can you use Confusion to lift her head gently?" He asked wanting to wrap her head without jostling her too much. Ralts nods a focuses on using as little power as possible and lifts the girls head. As this is done He gently wraps her head in the gauze, giving a nod to his partner, letting her know he was finished, and to set her down gently, which she does.

"Alright, you two, let's hurry to Viridian!" He says in a panicked tone as he places his backpack on his chest before places the girl on his back with the help of her Bulbasaur. Just then the skies darken and the sound of thunder rumbles through the sky. "Damn it! We need to put my blanket over her."

Bulbasaur seemingly understands and using his Vinewhip to pull the blanket from the top of the backpack then draping it over the male trainer and his own with the help of the Pokémon he heard called Ralts. "Thanks guys." Fenreld he says with a smile getting a nod from both of them as Ralts jumps into the backpack as he starts running down the road, with the Bulbasaur doing it's best to keep up.

A few minutes later the sky opens up and it starts pouring, static lightning jumping across the sky. 'Damn it! This isn't good. This girl can't be out in this but we're still a ways out and no cover anywhere and it's too dangerous to send out Pidgey to look for any. Please, whoever you are, hang in there!' Our hero thought as he ran as fast he could.

Little did he know that Ash had been being chased by the same Spearows he foolishly pissed off, having met Misty Wallflower, and "borrowed" her bicycle and is currently racing down a secondly path with his injured Pikachu only to wipe out with the Spearow right on his tail, but gathers his courage and stands to face the tiny birds only for his already injured Pikachu to jump infront of him, channeling its energy only to be hit by a bolt of lightning, and turning it into a super powered Thundershock, frying the attacking Spearow.

At that exact moment Fenreld, Ralts and Bulbasaur saw the huge blast. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Fen shouted. "That…. Unbelievable… That was a Thundershock! But nothing has that kind of power! Not even the Legendary Zapdos!" Ralts said just as shocked as her trainer. Bulbasaur recovered his shock and gives the male trainer a gentle snap of his whip, snapping Fenreld back to his senses. "Thanks Bulbasaur, Let's go!" And starts running again.

An hour later they arrive at the edge of Viridian City, He sighs, taking a moment to catch his breathe, noticing the wanted poster. "Team Rocket huh…?" He growls. "Another Criminal organization like Magma…!"

Ralts knew why he was getting angry, she was getting angry too. People these caused so much pain for her partner. "I know you're mad, I am too, but we need to make it to the Pokémon Centre to get this girl help." Earning a nod from Fenreld but said nothing in fear of losing his temper and starts running again finally seeing the Pokémon Centre after another 10 minutes of running.

"….Finally…." He says exhausted and stumbles into the Centre. "Nurse…Joy… Girl… needs help." He pants out before collapsing to his side, with the Bulbasaur following him using it's vines to grab the girl no longer being held on to.

"Oh dear! Grab me a stretcher!" She responses running to the young man and woman's side. "Oh, who are you?" Taking notice of the strange Pokémon she's never heard of. "That doesn't matter right now! Please help the girl that my trainer pushed to get here, she's been unconscious for the last 2 hours or more from hitting her head!" Ralts said with extreme concern, more for her trainer and the young lady that they helped get here.

Nurse Joy nods and gets the girl on the stretcher and looks at Chansey. "Get this young man to a room to rest, He deserves a free room for the night." She said looking for his Pokedex. When she finds it, she's shocked that it's not the standard Kanto Dex but still pulled up Fenreld's Idenification.

"I'm Dexette, a Pokedex issued by Professor Birch for Fenreld. I was shipped to Professor Oak from the Hoenn region, with permission granting codes for the Professor Hidden Room" came a Robotic female voice from the Pokedex, shocking the Nurse even more. The Hidden Professor's room was top secret, only given to Trainers who studied with Professors or have made an insane amount of contributions to be recognized by the Pokémon League Association (PLA from now on). She didn't know what this boy has done but if he was willing rescue that girl and have this rare Pokémon by his side, She was leaning towards it being the later of two options. This boy was a hero in her eyes and likely this young woman.

Chansey hearing this, was shocked too, gets handed to Hoenn Dex by Nurse Joy, who makes her way to the back with the young unnamed girl to check her for head trauma, and goes over to wall behind the counter and hold it to the Pokedex Scanner, opening the hidden door left of the emergency doors. She then helps the young hero to the hidden room, lays him on the twin bed with the unknown Pokémon following behind them and laying on her trainers chest muttering a Telepathic thank you before passing out. Chansey turned and left the room, the hidden panel closing behind her, then she makes her way to join her partner in treating the young girl.

[2 hours later at midnight]

Fenreld groans as he wakes up with his Ralts on his chest. He smiles at this. Just like the old days. She never left his side, and he assumed she did the same with May when she couldn't come with due to the PLA ruling. He looks around not recognizing the room. "Where am I…? This doesn't look like the Pokémon Centre…"

Ralts wakes up hearing his voice and responses. "Yeah, we are… but your Pokedex apparently has codes for a room exclusive to the professors… though I don't know if it works in all centres…"

"Huh… Interesting" He says holding up his Hoenn Dex. 'What did I do to earn this privilege…? I'll have to ask Professor Birch or Norman… They should know.' He thinks to himself, even if Ralts could read his mind, She respects his private thoughts. He looks around the room, seeing a private video phone, a treatment table, and Pokeballs, potions and other healing items. He then notices a light flashing on the video phone. "A message? Or Recording?" He picks up his bestfriend and partner and puts her on the bed so he can sit up and go to the device, and turns it on, immediately getting a message.

"Fen my boy, if you're watching this, you've arrived in Viridian City, which is no small feet for beginning Trainers, even if you have previous knowledge. However, as you know, knowledge without experience is worthless. Now, you're probably wondering why you have access to this special room. Well, Professor Birch and I talked with the PLA and told them of all the Pokémon you've saved, whether it be from getting eaten or from abusive trainers who lost at the gym, not to mention we all felt bad for separately you from your Ralts. So, thanks to your heroic actions, you are allowed into every room like this in each Centre. These rooms have personal treatment machines, free long distance calling, (a gift from me since my daughter missed you so much), and enough supplies to get you through for months. However, please moderate the use of these items, when they are used up, they cannot be replenished for a least year. So please make them last. Also know that should your actions reflecting badly on us, your access to these rooms will be revoked. Keep on the straight and narrow, make me and Caroline happy, Make my daughter happy, and everything will be fine.

Take care out there Fen, and come home once your done your journey in Kanto. You have been like a son to me since before your parents were murdered. Caroline feels the same. Please call when you get this message. Love, Norman Maple."

Fen had tears in his eyes… 'Norman…' Ralts also was touched. They gave her partner and bestfriend this special room for all his good deeds, one of them being her rescue. "You should probably call Norman like he asked and thank him…" Ralts said, holding back her own tears. Fenreld nodded and was about to make the call when there was an explosion outside, cutting the power.

"Attention all trainers, please remain calm, back up generator will be online momentarily." Nurse Joy said over the intercom system, and true to her word the emergency power came on, opening the hidden panel slightly.

"Come on Ralts! Let's go see what's going on!" He said getting a nod from Ralts, who jumps onto his shoulders. He carefully opened the door, slipped out and closed it behind him, hearing it lock up and makes his way to the lobby, only to find Ash and a Mango colored girl wearing a skimpy looking yellow shirt, short shorts, and red overalls facing the people he recognized from the wanted flyers, Team Rocket. He growls and glad they haven't noticed him and Ralts.

"I need you stay hidden Ralts, I'm sorry, but I can't let them see you. They might try to take you from me… Even if we drive them off this time, they will be looking for you down the road" He said to Ralts telepathically, who nodded, not happy about it but did understand and hides behind the reception desk before anyone noticed her, only Chansey did but didn't acknowledgment of her to keep her safe.

Seeing Ralts safe, he drew Charmander's ball. "Hey Scumbags!" He shouted getting an angry look from Jessie and James.

"Whose this twerp?!" Team Rocket yelled.

"Someone whose gonna help take you down! Go! CHARMANDER!" Fenreld yelled tossing the ball revealing the Lizard Pokemon. "Ash, Mango Girl, Let's work together!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING MANGO, YOU ASSHOLE!?" Misty shouted angrily. "Misty, He's right! Now's not the time fight each other, let's focus on these clowns." Ash said trying to calm the Mango haired water trainer.

"Fine! But I don't have to like it!" She spat. "Don't think I like your attitude. But we'll hash it out later" Fenreld said not breaking his hatred filled glare at the criminals infront of him.

"Fen… please try to calm down, you can't think clearly when you're mad." Ralts said only to him, getting a mental nod in return, her trainer trying to calm himself down. "Thank you Ralts." He replied.

"Alright, Charmander, Ember on the Ekans!" Fenreld ordered his Charmander

"Staryu! Water Gun on Koffing" Misty following Fenreld's lead, much to her displeasure. 'I really hate following this assholes lead!'

Ash stood back, guarding his injured Pikachu, who was getting ready to unleash another overpowered Thundershock with a little help of Misty's destroyed and Ash's help.

Meanwhile Pokemon's attacks hit their mark, Ekans getting the unlucky and got burned. Koffing was socked. "Koffing, Smokescreen," James called out. "Ekans, bite that annoying fire lizard!" Jessie commanded. The smog from Koffing filled the room, causing everyone to cough but Team Rocket, but with Ralts help Charmander was able to dodge the bite and counter with it's Metal Claw, which Fenreld mentally thanked her for the help.

"Guys get back, Pikachu is up to something!" Ash yelled as he got on the ruined bike and started pedalling. "Alright Pikachu, show 'em what you got!" Pikachu then hoped on the bike, the lightbulb cap started lighting up, and with Ralts help (not that he knew where the voice was coming from) managed to hit Team Rocket and their Pokémon, causing a massive explosion and Team Rocket flying off from said explosion.

"Wow, that's some Pikachu you got there…" Fenreld said looking in awe the Electric Mouse "It shouldn't have that much power in it's tiny body."

"Yeah, I know. He did something this back on route 1 when a whole flock of Spearow were chasing us." Ash said solemnly, still upset he was the cause of Pikachu's injuries. "He used the Thunder storm to attack them all… it was amazing."

"Wait.. that blast was from this Pikachu?!" Our hero said in shock. Ralts to, unable to believe it walked out and spoke them all. "That's impossible! That was beyond the power of any known electric Pokemon, Not even the Legendary Bird Zapdos has that much power!"

Ash and Misty spun around seeing the unknown Pokémon, at least according to Ash's Kanto Dex. "What Pokémon is that?! Why isn't it registering in my Pokedex?" Ash asked in a panic. Misty too looked confused at this, but thought it looked cute.

Fenreld groaned. "This is my partner and first ever Pokémon, Ralts, from my home region of Hoenn…Probably why your dex can't register her. But she's right. You'd better be careful. Those crooks will likely come after you again."

"Wait, if you had a Pokémon from another region, why do you have this Charmander?! I recognize it from the Professor's Lab." Ash asked, even more confused now.

"…you're an idiot Ash. It's clear they've been friends for much longer than we're allowed to be trainers… but he probably couldn't bring this pokemon with him due to the PLA's rules and regulations. Even then someone must have pulled some strings to allow it to come over here…"

"The hot-head is right, I couldn't bring her with me, not until I got my dex and an official starter from Oak. And don't ask why I am here instead of Hoenn." He said with a glare at the end and looked at his Charmander. "Great job boy, you did very well against those criminals, and that Ekans had much more experience than you. I'm very proud of you, Return." And with that the Lizard Pokemon let out a happy "Char!" before being sucked back into it's ball. Fenreld then went to turn around and walk to Nurse Joy.

"Hey hold it! Aren't you going to introduce yourself! How do you Ash's name?" Misty demanded.

'Ugh this girl is annoying.' He thought, getting a nod from Ralts having caught that thought, cause she was thinking the same thing. "Fine, My name's Fenreld. And how I know about Ash is that his mom, Delia, agreed to maintain my Aunt's place while my Aunt and I are gone in return for checking up on him once in awhile and try to keep him out too much trouble… though that didn't work since he's off to a very rough start, what with angrying a flock of Spearow, which I assume the blast that defeated those Spearow resulted in your bike getting fried, then end up in a fight with this region Crime Organization… Though something did come out of it… His Pikachu is listening now it seems… Ralts sensed you guys back at the beginning of route 1 and said she felt Pikachu not likely him." He sighed.

"Wait… Mom asked you to watch over me?" Ash groaned "Doesn't she trust me enough to watch out for myself?"

"Look, it wasn't about trust, it was out of love and concern for her only son. You can't fault her for that." The Hoenn native tried to appease the Raven haired amateur.

Ash nodded understanding now. Misty too saw the logic, she still didn't like this guy. "If you were asked to watch over him, why aren't you traveling with him?"

"Because, I don't like people and don't usually work well with others. There are only a select few who have my respect and admiration, and there is only one person I'd ever consider travelling with, but they are back home." He glared at Misty. Man did he hate the moody types. Yeah, May had her moments but he knew that if she was mad, it was actually for a good reason. "And besides, as far as I'm concerned, Ash, Gary, myself and the other trainer who left Pallet Town are rivals. I'm aiming for the Pokémon League Championships, which means, I'll need 8 badges. Which also means, that if we were to travel together, we'd know each other's strategies, and Pokémon, taking the fun and surprise out of battles." He finished.

That actually made sense to both the Kanto natives. "Well then, I look forward to our rivalry. Let's see who can make it to the Pokémon League first!" Ash said enthusiastically.

"Fine." Was all Fenreld said before turning to Nurse Joy. "How long before we have full power back up?"

"Oh! That may take a day or two… they cut main breaker outside." She replied with a bow "I'm very sorry"

"Is there enough power for a couple long distance calls from my room?" He asked, not wanting to reveal what he assumed was a high ranked secret.

"Yes, that shouldn't be an issue." She said before looking at Ralts, thinking or rather trying to mentally tell her that the Professors rooms had their own separate generator.

"Thank you" He said as he moved behind the counter to get Ralts, bowing to Nurse Joy, all the while discreetly opening the hidden room from what Ralts had just explained how to open, before making his way to said room.

Misty however was furious at how rude the guy was, not even giving out a "I'll see you around" or "Take care."

Ash seeing this and sighed. "Let it go, he said he didn't like people so he was probably getting uncomfortable."

"Doesn't I have to like him." Misty says before turning and pointing at him "And don't think I'm letting you out of my sight until you repay me for my bike!"

The rookie trainer sighed again "I know, I know."

"Attention all trainers, this Center is now closed. Lights will be going out in 5 minutes, please return to your assigned rooms if you are staying the night. Breakfast will be provided from 7:30 am to 9 am." Nurse Joy announced over the intercom.

Ash and Misty went upstairs to their rooms, while Fenreld had been preparing to make the call to Hoenn thinking 'Damn that girl is loud. Ash is in for a long journey if she's serious about travelling with him. Well just means I don't have to keep such a close eye on him.'

He then moved over to the Video Phone dialing Norman's number, hoping they were still awake, know it was very late, and luck was on his side when Caroline appeared on the screen. "Fenreld! We weren't expecting you at Viridian for another day or two!" She cheered, very happy to see him.

"Yeah, I got here faster than I would have planned but seems my karma caught up with me. I found an injured trainer who was unconscious from a head injury, and you know me, I can't just leave someone behind that's in need of help." He sighed, cursing his heroic nature. "Is Norman there? I need to talk to him about this gift. He asked that I call when I got the message." He asked.

"Yes, of course. One second." She said and Fenreld could hear her call for her husband and in turn hearing May stumbling hearing that he was on the line, causing him to chuckle. 'Guess she missed me even it's only been a day.'

"Ahh, I'm surprised you got to Viridian already. What happened? You don't usually rush through something." Norman said as he appeared on screen. Fenreld sighed and re-explained what happened early a hearty laugh from Norman. "Yeah, that sounds like you, but better not tell May about the girl, she might get jealous."

"Whatever… I'm calling because you asked me to when I got your message…." Fenreld said feeling irritated. 'Why does everyone imply that she and I have a thing going on… we're just bestfriends' He though to himself, not noticing the blush, however Ralts and Norman did, both thinking the same thing. 'They really need to admit their feelings for each other'

"Whatever you say, but I must how did you find out about the room? Professor Oak said he didn't have time to tell you about it." Norman asked.

"I woke up in this room after I collapsed after saving the girl I mentioned. Ralts told me that Nurse Joy here looked up my ID on my Pokedex, learned about the code for here… Which I gotta say, I don't feel I deserve it. I just did what any decent person would have done and helped those in need." Replied our black haired hero.

"Don't be like that. Ralts would be been dog food, and all those other Pokémon you said from those abusive trainers would have continued to be beaten without anyone noticing. You fully deserve this. Just don't make me look foolish for recommending you by turning to crime or something like that." The Gym Leader said with pride at the start only to end with a stern voice.

Fenreld only replied with a look at that practically said "Do you really think I'd do that." Then came a familiar, yet furious voice over the phone. "DAD! Fen doesn't have a criminal bone in his body! He's only mean to those who are mean to others or their Pokémon!" May yelled at her Dad and kicked him away from the screen, and her face went from furious demon to charming angel when she looked at the screen and her crush. "Hey Fen! I'm so glad I got to see you again before I ventured into the Petalburg Woods. You catch anything new yet? I caught a Wurmple by Littleroot Town!"

He only chuckled slightly at her quick change in attitude. "Yeah, I caught a Pidgey, I would have caught more but I would have caught more if it wasn't for the thunderstorm we had here tonight." He half lied, knowing full well how she'd react to him interacting with another girl much less saving one… She always a bit possessive. Ralts who was sitting on the bed only sweatdropped at the half lie… "You know she'd be proud of you for saving someone from potential death… even if it was another girl." She told her trainer who sighed.

"Actually May… they was another reason" He said before she commented on the Pidgey and Thunderstorm. "Their was a trainer we found unconscious… She…." He flinches seeing her glare a the mention of a girl. "Hold on- She was unconscious and in bad shape, her head smacked against a rock on the side of the road and needed immediate medical attention. There was a small puddle of blood pooling under her, She might have died if I didn't save her, especially with the impending thunderstorm!" He quickly defended himself.

Hearing that save a girls life didn't seem to help matters at all. "While I'm proud of you for saving her life, she better not get the wrong idea from it! And you had better not lead her on! You're my-" She catches herself and blushes furiously in embarrassment 'I almost told him how I felt… I can't do that over the phone! It's too important to be done like that…' She thought to herself.

Fenreld was curious at what she said and was wondering why she was blushing like that. 'Could she like me the way I like her? Nah… can't be, we're only 10… almost 11…' He thought and blushed just as fiercely before coughing "Don't worry, I won't. I've decided to travel alone with Ralts and the other Pokémon I catch. You're the only one I'm willing to travel with." He said, not realizing the effect those words had on her.

Almost everyone else listening did and facepalmed thinking 'Way to go genius, make the girl fall even more for you.' While her mother almost squeeled in delight. 'You'll make my daughter a fine husband one day Fen.' She thought.

"Th-thank you Fen…." May stuttered and blushed even an even brighter shade of red before collecting herself "Oh! By the way! My first contest is in a few months over in Slateport City, so naturally I'll be travelling while training and catching new Pokémon for the contest! You'd better watch set a reminder somewhere and watch my performance!" She says excitedly.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world. I promised I'd support you all the way with your Coordinator carrier!" He smiled giving the megawatt smile that seemed to be reserved for her and Ralts. The only time Norman and Caroline saw that smile is when he was with their daughter and knew what it meant even before they started showing signs of them having crushes on each other. This smile always brought a blush and an equal smile to May's face.

"Alright lovebirds, it's getting late. I'm sure both of you have busy days tomorrow and it's almost 1 am and trainers and coordinators shouldn't get the habit of staying up this late. Say you're 'I love yous' and head to bed." Caroline teased getting a "MOM!" from both of them only for Fenreld to blush from embarrassment at calling Caroline Mom after a year after his parents died, but quickly frowned and felt depressed but hide it as best he could, but Ralts and the elder Maple's saw it.

"G'night May, Mr. and Mrs. Maple." He said solemnly, getting sad looks from Norman and his wife and a "good night" May as he ended the call. 'I can't believe I did that…Mom…I'm sorry.' He thought as he laided in bed, pulling a blanket over him, and silently shedding a tear.

"You know… you're parents would want you to be happy and knew you saw the Maples as second parents and would be out with you calling them as such… Norman and Caroline wanted to adopt you but it was too soon, and they knew it." Ralts said trying to calm him down, sensing his inner turmoil.

"Hmm… thanks Ralts… I'm just not ready to call actively call them as such… It's only been a year since they were murdered…" He replied, drifted off to sleep only.

AN: And that's it for Chapter 2. Who is it that Fenreld saved and will she be ok?! Will he run into Ash and Misty within Viridian Forrest? Will he get lost in there? What Pokémon will he catch in there… if any! Is he being mean to Pidgey by using it for the aerial support until Charmander evolves into Charizard? Let me know what you think through reviews! ALSO if you liked this story, please check out my other work! Also I am looking for a Beta reader for this story. My usual Beta Reader has gone MIA. On me.
