POKEMON: Birth of a Legend

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, but do own my OC's that have a guest appearance in my first ever pokemon story and the main character. I hope this story really soars.

Chapter 2: Zachary saves the day

The Train engine hummed through the long road towards Sinnoh. Matthew fell asleep in his seat and held onto his special gifts that the legendary pokemon Ho-Oh had given him. Zachary looked at Matthew and then his pokemon Gliscor. "Soraxess…Its great to be watching him grow up huh?" Zachary said to his pokemon. "Gli." It cried in agreement. "The way he sleeps, it reminds me of his father when his father started his pokemon journey."

"You know what I mean, Soraxess." He looked at his pokemon and smiled at it. His Gliscor looked at its trainer and his ears twitched as it smiled.

"I remember you were just a Gligar…you were being bullied by a pokemon gang, you seemed to be hurt being overpowered by that Lucario. But luckily I saved you and put you back in shape, and when we found that special item one day while we were traveling, you evolved to save me from that dark Hypno we encounter." Zachary said with a smile and patted his pokemon's head.

"Gli! Gliscor!" It cried putting its claw up saying "I remember that day."

"Hm…Lets just hope, we can make this journey worth while and make Matthew's life something to remember." Zachary said. His pokemon nodded and sat beside its trainer. Zachary turned his head towards the window and stared at it. Matthew soon woke up and rubbed his eyes. "…Morning Zachary." Matthew said in a sleepy tone.

"Morning, Matthew. How are you feeling after that strange pass out you had earlier at Goldenrod?" Zachary asked. Matthew stretched. "Mm…well, I feel great after that sleep." Zachary nodded. "That's good."

A Stewardess walked in. "Good morning Gentlemen, would you like to try our special breakfast menu, or some good health bars?" She asked. "Ummm…I'll have a healthy bar please." Matthew said. "And for you sir?" She asked Zachary.

"I'll have a health bar too."

"I'll bring your pokemon some poke chow." She said while handing them their bars. Matthew quickly took a big bite. "Hey, Zachary…you think its alright for Soraxess to be out of its Pokeball?" Matthew asked. "Wouldn't you be in trouble?"

"I don't think so. I've been on this train before with Soraxess." "Those people on this train don't mind me and my pokemon." Zachary said.

"Do you have any other pokemon?" Matthew asked. Zachary shook his head. "No…Soraxess was my first ever pokemon, we promise that we will watch over each other."

"Oh…" Matthew said. The Stewardess came back in and placed the bowl on the table. Soraxess went on the table and started to stuff its face with poke chow. Its ears twitched with excitement while eating the food. "Wow, Soraxess sure likes the poke chow." Matthew said. "Yeah, they know what he likes." Soraxess grabbed a hand full and sat on its trainer's lap. He continued to eat. Soraxess then gave its master some of its food. Zachary ate it. Matthew's eyes widen. "Did you just…" He said.

"Yes Matthew...I ate the poke chow. I find it quite good."

"But…would you get sick?" Matthew asked. "I'm sort of used to it, that's because a long time ago, I was so hungry, and Soraxess was willing enough to share its food with me and by the months I started to like poke chow, lets say its my little snack."

Matthew laughed a little. Zachary looked at Matthew and smiled lightly. "So, anything new with the dreams?" he asked.

"No…not yet." Matthew said.

The speaker rang. "Attention pokemon trainers and passengers, we will be departing to Sinnoh region in about 5 minutes…please enjoy our fresh lemonade, or nice music." Said the Stewardess.

Matthew leaned back against his seat. "So, Zachary. Do you know anything about what's going to happen, on our journey?"

"Hm…Nothing that I could picture, but hopefully your pokemon are in good shape, that way you can battle the gym leaders that are there." Zachary said. "And the elite four."

"Don't worry, Zachary. I'm ready for them." Matthew said. Zachary nodded. "Then, alright. But I can make the time to spend with you." Matthew smiled, but then a small tear rolled down his face.

"Matthew?" Zachary asked looking at him with his head tilting to the side a bit.

"Sorry, don't know where it came from, Zachary." He said rubbing his eyes.

"Pull your self together." Zachary said. "Gliscor!" Cried Soraxess saying the same thing. Then the train had stopped.

"We have now reached Sinnoh." Said the driver. Zachary and Matthew got up and headed towards the door. Zachary paid the driver.

Matthew looked up in the sky and saw a few new pokemon fly in the sky. "Whoa!" He said with amazement. Zachary and Matthew walked towards the small town of Sandgem Town.

"This town is small." Matthew said.

"Don't worry, you'll meet new pokemon on the way to different towns and cities." Zachary said. Soraxess was inside his Pokeball. "So, you want to go to a new town?" Matthew asked. "Sure." Zachary said. They walked towards Oreburgh City route. On their way towards that route, Matthew then spotted a pokemon in the grass. "Whoa! A new pokemon!" He said and pulled out his Pokedex.

Pokedex: "Shinx the Flash pokemon. This Electric pokemon's forelegs have a muscle-based system of generating electricity. Its body shines if endangered." "Wow, an Electric pokemon." Matthew said. He pulled out a Pokeball and tossed it. "Come on out! Blazer!" He shouted. Out from the poke ball appeared out a Growlithe. "Growlithe!" It howled. "Alright Blazer! Use flamethrower!" the fire pokemon shot out a stream of fire. Shinx looked up at the fire pokemon and got hit with flames. "Shyuu!" It cried being hurled into the air. It landed on its stomach but quickly got back on its feet and sparked.

"Okay, blazer! Lets try Quick attack!" Matthew said. The Growlithe dashed at the Shinx. The Shinx was surprised to see the pokemon dash so quick. It got hurled into the air again. The electric pokemon landed real hard again on its stomach. "Poke ball go!" Matthew shouted and tossed the Pokeball. The pokemon went inside. The ball moved a few times. Matthew concreted real hard to see if he was successful. The ball flashed, and he ran up to it. "Wow! My very own Shinx!" He said looking at the Pokeball. "I'll make sure I can use him."

"That was good catch." Zachary said. "You'll be meeting a lot of new pokemon here within Sinnoh."

"I'm, ready Zachary. Lets go take on the gym leader!"

"Hold it there, Matthew. It could take us a few days just to get there, might as well camp out here tonight." "Okay, Zachary." Matthew said. They camped near a crystal clear lake and had a night breeze. Zachary sat on a tree branch to watch Matthew from the top. Matthew was playing with his pokemon. Soraxess stood by its master watching Matthew too.

"Soraxess..." Zachary said. "Gli?" Soraxess asked looking up at its master.

"I want you to keep an eye on him, while I go get some more fire wood for the fire." "Gliscor! Scor! Gli!"

"No, I'll be alright by myself. I can take care of myself, so don't worry Soraxess." Zachary said petting his pokemon's head. He jumped down from the tree and headed towards the woods. Soraxess focused on Matthew.

"Where's Zachary?" Matthew asked himself. He got up and saw that Zachary wasn't in the tree.

"Hey, are you a pokemon trainer?" Said a passing stranger. "Yeah." Matthew said in reply. "Why not we have a pokemon battle. If I win I get to have that cool looking Gliscor of yours."

"But! This pokemon isn't mine, it belongs to-."

"Be quite, Kid. And let's battle!" Said the stranger. He threw out a Pokeball and out appeared a fierce looking Gastly.

"Alright! Come on out Lucas!" Matthew shouted. "Boocunn!!" Cried out Lucas.

"Heh! A Typhlosion! All right Gastly! Use Confusion ray!" Said the stranger. "Gastly!" Cried the ghost pokemon. Its eyes flashed. Lucas shook its head. "Lucas! Try a flamethrower attack!" Matthew ordered his pokemon. Lucas was confused, but it aimed everywhere. Gastly evaded some of the attacks. "Try another blast!" Matthew said. Lucas did another blast of flamethrower.

The blast had hit the Ghost pokemon real hard. "Gastly return!" Said the stranger. "Then try this on for size!"

"Go!" He shouted. The ball flashed. Out appeared, a Yanmega. "Yan!!" It buzzed flapping its wings. "What pokemon is that?" Matthew said and pulled out his Pokedex.

"Yanmega, the Ogre Darner pokemon. This bug/flying pokemon has churning wings, it creates shock waves that inflict critical internal injuries to foes." Said the Pokedex.

"Uh oh!" Matthew said.

"Yanmega! Use your bug buzz attack!" The pokemon made a huge sound that made Matthew hold his ears. Lucas flew back a few feet and landed on his stomach. "Lucas, return!" Matthew called out and retuned his pokemon.

"Come on out Crusher!" Matthew said. Out from the Pokeball appeared a Zangoose. "Zangoose!" It cried and got its claws ready to attack. "Crusher! Use crush claw!" Matthew said. The Zangoose ran with its claws glowing. "Yanmega! Use protect!" said the stranger. The Yanmega glowed. Zangoose's attack didn't even dent the pokemon.

"Yanmega! Use your fury attack!" The bug pokemon zipped passed Crusher and slammed itself into crusher's stomach. "This pokemon is fast…how can I beat him?" Matthew thought gritting his teeth. "Matthew!" Zachary called. Matthew looked up and saw Zachary floating in the air with his wings.

"I'll take it from here." Zachary said as he landed on the ground. "But, Zachary." Matthew said.

"Just take your pokemon to the pokemon center." Matthew returned, Crusher to his Pokeball. "You had to ruin my fun." Said the stranger. Zachary then smirked. "It was a bad move to try and steal my pokemon. "Ready, Soraxess!" Zachary said. "Gliscor!" Cried, Soraxess.

"So, that Gliscor, doesn't belong to that kid? But to you?!"

"Yes, and messing with Matthew was a bad move." Zachary said pointing his finger. Soon Yanmega was in Soraxess's claws. "Soraxess, use vice grip!" Soraxess started to squeeze the bug pokemon with his claws. "Yanmega!" Said the stranger. "Soraxess, its time for the grand finale! Use Shadow Force!" Soraxess disappeared and then reappeared smacking the Yanmega down. The bug pokemon fainted. "My, Yanmega!!" Said the stranger. "You'll pay for this! Team Rocket will have its day." Said the mad scientist running off. Matthew walked up to Zachary. "Whoa, you creamed him!" Matthew said.

"Well, I've learned to bond with my pokemon, I know that Soraxess can never be beaten, because I know its his power that gives me the victory."

"Zachary, I was able to get theses." Matthew said pulling out a max potion.

"Good, now spray your pokemon with it, while I'll pull out some food for us." Zachary said. "Got it." Matthew said with a nod.

Matthew chowed down on a sandwich that his mother had packed for him. All of his pokemon were eating as well.

"Hey, Zachary." Matthew said.

"Huh?" Zachary asked looking at Matthew.

"You think I'll be able to find the whole point of my dreams? And what they are all telling me about?" Matthew asked. "Hmm…that's something I can't say for you. But it's my job for me and Soraxess to keep an eye on you."

"So, you really are my guardian." Matthew said with a smile. Zachary nodded his head slowly. "You can say I'm like that…" looking to the side a bit.

Soon the stars were shining very bright. Zachary stared at the blazing fire before looking over to Matthew who was fast asleep in his sleeping bag.

He sighed. "I know, that Matthew's fate has to be something very important with that half Entei mask. But what does it all mean?" He thought before closing his eyes to think harder about it. Soraxess sat by its master and twitched his ears for enjoyment in getting comfortable. Zachary turned his head to his loyal pokemon and petted its head. Zachary stared up at the moon and his eyes leered a bit.

Matthew was then having another dream. He was walking into the woods of Lake Verity. He saw a cave and entered it. He then saw a pink legendary pokemon. "W-Who are you?" Matthew asked the strange legendary pokemon.

"Am I Mesprit, The being of emotions." She said in a humming sound voice of kindness. "Matthew, these dreams you have are telling you that you're the chosen one to take on a new way of life."

Matthew was confused. "What are you saying?" "What's my destiny?"

"Look deep within you're heart. But beware those who harm you and use you for something dangerous…" She said before everything faded to white. Matthew then woke up. Zachary was still half asleep. Matthew seemed to be breathing hard as he saw a ghost. "Matthew…you alright?" Zachary asked opening one eye. Matthew got out from his sleeping bag and sat near Zachary. "I had another one…but this pokemon I saw was sort of creepy to me, even though it was friendly." He said. Zachary moved his black bat wing around him. "It's over now. But there are good legendaries as there are bad ones out there for you to see." Zachary said to him. Matthew hugged him. Zachary froze for a second. "You still act like you're 10." Zachary said to him.

They both soon went to sleep.

NEXT MORNING:

Matthew slowly opened up one eye and saw the same legendary looking at him with her huge eyes. He fell back. Zachary opened his eyes and looked up and saw the pink legendary.

"So, why are you here?" Zachary asked the legendary pokemon. "I'm here to give Matthew a gift." She said. Matthew saw the pokemon hold something its in hands. "Take it." She said. Matthew took the shining light that appeared as a pink scale from her. Matthew was shocked before he could thank the legendary she had left.

"Come on Matthew. Lets get going to the gym leader." Zachary said. Matthew nodded.
