Ch 3.

The grassy hills of his home were one of the most beautiful places in the world at the time. War had not been an issue for over 300 years and everywhere the calmness of everyday life could be seen.

"Blackfang!" a tall strong Houndoom stood overlooking a grassy valley calling out to his young son. Whiptail was his name, the strongest pokemon in his pack of wild dog pokemon and also there leader.

They lived in the Dragonite Valley, where they hunted the Stantler, Senrate, and ratatas, and there clan was very happy and prosperous except for the occasional mix up or fight between there clan and the fox's.

Blackfang, who was a houndour came running up the hill with his best friend Flametail, a Growlithe the same age as him.

"Father!" Blackfang cried in delight. For Whiptail had been gone to make friends with the fox clan with a few others for a whole week. The large black dog Whiptail took his son close to him and ruffed his fur on the top of his head. "It is good to see you son. What have you and Flametail and you been doing?"

"Nothing much father. We have just been practicing our ember attacks by the river. But I have made sure that everything was kept safe."

"Good lad, now I am going to get back to the den and greet everyone." Whiptail left the two playful pups on the hill.

"Bye father!"

Flametail smiled. "Your dad is so cool Blackfang."

"Hay look over their!" Blackfang nodded to another little black houndour that was heading their way. "Its pearl."

The little black female houndour was running up the hill. "Hi guys!" she called. Flaimtail wagged his tail. But blackfang took off right for her. "Pearl!" she gave a little scream as she tried to duck out of the way of the charging Blackfang, but she was not quick enough and blackfang ran right into her and together they rolled down the hill and landed in a heap on the floor at the base of the hill.

"Blackfang!" she yelled as she lay there with blackfang halfway dazed on top of her. "Get off of me you mad dog!" Black fang came out of his daze and got up quickly.

"Oops sorry Pearl." he smiled.

"She smiled also." together the three of them were best friends, they had been ever sense they were born.

"I saw your father." She said happily

"Yes we just saw him too"

:Lets go back to the den so that we can hear all about what happened."

"Yea lets go." together the three friends started running towards the den that was right next to a great fir tree that stood alone in the valley.
