Well for all the people reading here is Dusk Dawning chapter 2. Thanks for coming back and for all your helpful reviews. So without further ado here is Dusk Dawning: DragonSlayer (beta Fallen Vanguard thank you for your work)
After I finished explaining my story I wept for the memory of my trainer, who had raised me since I was a Vulpix. The others let me cry for a little in silence, till DragonSlayer asked me once again if I wanted to hear his story now or after a good night's rest. I wiped the tears from my eyes and I nodded an affirmative. We all quickly stretched and settled in for another story. Before he started DragonSlayer had one thing to say "You're good with us, our home is your home, and with that I shall begin,"
--
I sat on a tree branch to examine the forest around me, for the beast I was tracking was here.
I looked up at the sun and thought "Two days, two days since you were killed Berry, my mate, and Bark, my kit. I promise you I will avenge you both even if I die trying,"
I sat on that tree branch for days waiting for it to come past. I had my scouts, friendly bird pokemon who were either sympathetic or just scared of the Weedle whose eyes showed the longing embrace of death and the flames of revenge.
I heard a rustling I quickly turned and scampered further up the tree muttering "Its him, that filthy snake...I'll kill him,"
In my head I had planned it all, I was going to hide up in the top of the tree call down to it, as it opens its mouth to respond I was going to jump down its throat making sure it swallowed my poison and reuniting myself with my fallen family...but...of course...nothing ever goes the way you plan.
I positioned myself on top of the tree, the name my son had given me 'Ninja' went through my head I often used to pat his small head as he remarked on my colourings and called me Ninja or every so often Ninje. Tears had begun to form in my eyes as I remembered his and my mates death. So whilst I was at their graves, I discarded my name as Sting and Christening myself "Ninja".
I shook my head looking down again just in time to see the blue serpentine pokemon entering the clearing. I grinned, for that was the bastard snake that set fire to my old home and killed my son and mate. He needed to die, no matter what the cost.
"Dragonair!" I called "Up here moron" I called again as I watched it look around the clearing. It evtually looked up, eyes widening slightly in surprise before it launched a flamethrower faster then I expected it too. Luckily I'm quick too, so I jumped over to the nearest tree, and then the next tree, making sure it couldn't get a good aim on me. I realised I had to think quickly so before it realised what I was doing, so I jumped into the tree behind it. I sat in that tree, watching it slowly burn another forest to the ground, killing more Pokémon and destroying their homes. No, no more, I'd had enough. I glared at the back of the Dragonair's head, my anger growing wildly as the screams and cryies of wild pokemon trying to protect their families and homes filled the air.
My tail twitched, and before I really comprehended what I was doing, I called out again "Hey just to ask, was your mother an Ekans or a Seviper?" It turned away from the razed forest and, before it was fully facing me, I leapt down at it, horn pointed straight with the wind rushing past me.
"Die!" I hissed at the Dragonair before hitting my target, the left eye. As I pierced the eye and sunk slowly into the head I could feel it thrashing, the poison defiantly doing its work. As I felt its blood oozing over me, I realised he may have had friends or family that loved and cherished him. I just took another being, another life away from this world for my own selfish needs of revenge. I was no better than he was...
As the Dragonair slowly sunk to the ground I turned myself around and jumped out of its eye on to the grass. I shook my head to get the brain matter off my stinger and sat there covered in blood as many wild pokemon came up to me.
"You killed the giant snake yes?" a Pidgeot elder asked me. I nodded idly, trapped in my thoughts.
"Oh my...you brave little worm, you have much honour." I nodded again, still trapped in my own thoughts. Other pokemon began to cheer for me. 'Saviour' and 'Hero' were called out at first, then one other name was chanted instead, "DragonSlayer"
I looked up at this a stunned expression starting to form.
"What did you call me?" I asked. The elder spoke up again.
"In this forest you are a hero and will become legend. We have decided to give you a new name to tell our young to pass on to their young for generations. We will tell them of the mighty Weedle DragonSlayer, and the way he saved us all." A mighty cheer was raised in the crowed "DragonSlayer! The ninja Weedle!" I stood stunned for a few seconds then smiled.
"I'll bear this name with pride, Elder, and I'll try to be the hero you have named me. For as long as I live I'll try to protect and train others to protect this beautiful world we live in." Again the cheer of DragonSlayer was raised till the elder raised his wing for silence.
"DragonSlayer, if you travel east from this spot for three days and 2 nights, you will find a log propped up on a tree. Bang your tail against it, call out the name DragonSlayer, and wait for the wisdom bringer of the forest to greet you," Curiosity sparked through me as I looked east. I then asked only one thing.
"Will he teach me about fighting and the world?" the elder smiled
"I don't know, but he used to be the star pokemon of a ninja. He may be able to teach you something." With that the Elder touched his wing to my face before saying "Go, Hero, may the legendaries be shining their light on your health and good fortune," With that I turned and travelled east for three days and two nights coming to the log propped up against the tree as the elder said it would be. I banged on the tree calling "DragonSlayer" three times, and out of the forest came a Roserade.

"Now my children it is time for bed. Especially you Cinder, for you'll be battling me tomorrow so I can measure your potential and see if it's worth training you. The battle will be held at noon in the clearing outside, for we don't want you burning down our home," DragonSlayer said with a small chuckle near the end.
"But what happens after you met the Roserade?" I asked I was curious now it was an interesting story, but DragonSlayer shook his head
"That my son is a story for another day. Now follow Bounce back to your room. Food will be there for the night, and in the morning you may come back here for breakfast. I'll see you at noon, be ready," I nodded, disappointment flooding me as I got up and followed Bounce. When we got there, she pushed the door open with a small kick, and I smiled at her.
"Thank you, beautiful. Will I see your pretty face at breakfast tomorrow?" I asked
"Maybe, but with your ugly mug the food will turn sour" she said with a vicious grin "go flirt with someone else. Someone you know, or someone who gives a damn. Bye, Puppy" And with that she turned and started to walk away, her tail swishing...and I just couldn't resist one last comment.
"Nice tail, beautiful! And thanks for the pet name!" I shouted after her flashing a smile. She turned to me with a glare, and I swear I could almost see the urge to kick me rising in her eyes which she, thankfully enough, managed to resist. With a flick of her ears she turned and left me standing my door way, wondering if she would ever warm up to me. I flicked my tails, no point standing here. I walked into my room and had a good look around: the room was box shaped, a blue mat was crumpled up in the corner and a small table low enough that I could lay on my stomach and still be able to reach up on it sitting in the middle of the room. I noticed a bowl of berries sitting on top of the table, so I rushed over to it, I had no idea how hungry I was.
After polishing off the berries, I thought about DragonSlayer's story for a bit, realizing we had both defeated incredibly powerful pokemon due to revenge, and that we had both wound up here. Which lead me to the next question: who else was here, and how did Bounce and Fel wind up in a place like this? They should be contest pokemon, not searching this town where Garchomps were and who were DB they mentioned.
"I probably should have asked all these while I was there" I muttered to myself before flattening out the blankets and quickly washing again before curling up on my blankets and drifting off into an uneasy and question filled sleep.
Well that's it for this chapter! hope you enjoyed your little look into DragonSlayer's past. Please leave a review or comment I'll see you next time.
