Chapter 3: Blaze and Mizella Inferno


Sheila left a bowl of leftover chicken and rice for the puppy in the kitchen. While the puppy began eating, she went back into the bedroom where Ericha sat on the bed while her dad, Jesselyn, and Tristan were standing in front of her.

"Alright Ericha starts talking," Sheila ordered. Ericha could tell that she wasn't in the mood for fibs.

With a deep breath, Ericha began explaining to her family what happened. She told them about the spaceship that crashed into their front lawn and how it obtained an egg, which hatched into a puppy. If the four of them haven't seen the puppy with their own eyes, they would think that Ericha was lying.

"Even still why couldn't you tell us right?" Her mom asked.

"I wanted to tell you!" Ericha said truthfully. "But if I did, then you might hand him over to the government or something."

"That doesn't mean you have to lie about it," Her mom replied sternly. "If something happened you need to tell us right away. Please don't hide anything from us ever again."

"I'm sorry mom," Ericha apologized.

"So what do we do with him?" Tristan asked his father.

"...I think we should give him to the government," He answered. This shocked the the three kids.

"What, but why?" Jesselyn asked. "He's so cute and Ericha said that he's not dangerous!"

"We can't just keep an alien dog in our house," Her explained. "I mean what if his parent came down and destroyed earth searching for him?"

"Okay you've been watching Chicken Little too many times dad," Jesselyn mumbled under her breath.

"Dad he doesn't look like an alien that would hurt anyone," Ericha explained. "When I first meet the little guy, he was more afraid of me than I was of him."

"Surprisingly," Tristan mumbled.

"I don't know Ericha," Her mom said concerned. "We still don't know anything about him."

"Please, Mom?" Ericha pleaded. "I'll take full responsibility for the alien puppy and I won't tell anyone about him."

"And we'll help," Jesselyn joined in while Tristan nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Ericha asked surprised.

"Of course we will," Jesselyn answered as she folded her arms. "If we left you with him, then you'll abandon the puppy like your grade 5 clothes."

"Gee thanks for the confidence," Ericha muttered in annoyance. She then turned to her "Please, can we keep him?"

"Yeah! Can we?" Jesselyn and Tristan joined in with their older sister. Sheila and Geoff stared at each other for second until Sheila sighed.

"Okay will keep him," Sheila answered.

"Yes!" The kids cheered.

"However, we need to ask the puppy some question," Dad said seriously. "We need to know what type of alien he is and what type of organization he's from."

Ericha rolled her eyes. "He's just a puppy Dad. I doubt he's from a dangerous organization that going to destroy the universe or something,"

"Even still it won't hurt to ask him," Mom agreed.

"Ask me what?" The family jumped at the animated puppy appeared on Ericha's bed. He stared at them with a confused look on his face.

"How long have you been standing there?" Tristan asked.

"Not long," He answered. "So what did you guys want to ask me?"

Before anyone can answer, Dad spoke as he slowly walked around the bed. "I'll be asking the questions buddy. First what kind of alien are you?"

The puppy thought for a second before answering, "Well my name is Blaze Inferno, and I'm a Houndour."

"A Houndour?" Ericha repeated oddly. She looked at her parents who stared back in confusion.

"Houndour..." Tristan thought of the name. "I haven't heard of a Houndour, but It sounds like a Pokemon."

"Wait, you know about Pokemon?" Blaze asked, looking surprised.

"Of course, Pokemon is so popular," Tristan answered. "They have their own game, trading cards, and television show!"

Blaze looked amazed. "Wow! I didn't know that they exist in this world."

"Anyway," Dad interrupted. "Where do you come from?"

"I'm from the Pokemon World," He answered truthfully.

"You mean it's real?" Tristan asked eagerly.

Blaze nodded. "It a place where Pokemon live freely from humans."

"Isn't it suppose to be a world where humans and Pokemon live together in harmony?" Jesselyn asked. Tristan and Ericha stared at her oddly. "What? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I know nothing about Pokemon!"

"You're right," Blaze replied to Jesselyn question. "There's another world besides mine where humans and Pokemon live together. I sadly don't why they separated though."

"So let me get this straight," Geoff said not buying it. "You mean you came from a world which is supposed to be fake in our world, but it's real?"

"Yep," The Houndour answered. He looked around confused. "So um...Where am I?"

"You're in our planet, known as earth," Ericha replied, petting the Pokemon.

"Earth?" Blaze repeated. "This earth looks weirder than my world."

"You haven't seen anything yet once you see outside," Tristan said excitedly. Ericha and Jesselyn turned towards their young brother.

"Tristan! We can't just take him outside," Ericha scolded.

"Why not?" Tristan asked looking at Blaze. "He has no problem blending into our world. No one would expect that he's an alien."

"That not the problem!" Jesselyn shouted annoyed by her brother's stupidity. "Blaze is "animated!" We can't let anyone know that he's from another world."

"She right Tristan," Mom agreed. "Blaze will easily attract attention to our neighbors if we send him outside, but at the same time he can't stay in the house all day."

"Don't worry Mom, I will come up with something to get Blaze outside without being noticed," Ericha replied. She felt relieved that exposing Blaze to her parents went smoother than she thought.

"Well, I'm glad that your taking responsibility for this puppy Ericha," Mom said proudly.

"Does that mean I'm not in trouble?" Ericha asked pushing her luck.

"No," Mom answered sternly, making Ericha's heart drop. "But I'm proud that you'll take responsibility for your actions by taking care of Blaze. So I'll say that you need to come straight home from school for a week. No loitering with your friends"

Ericha groaned depressingly as she could hear Tristan and Jesselyn silently snickering in their minds. She turned to Blaze who stared back at her. Ericha felt her bad thought shatter in pieces by the puppy's innocent look.

"Well I'll get dinner ready," Ericha's mom announced as she walks out of the room. "Ericha, can you help me with setting up the plates?"

"Okay Mom," Ericha called out as she follows her to the kitchen.

"Hey, Jesselyn! Last one to the couch gets the T.V!" Tristan shouted as he ran out of the room.

"Hey, no fair!" Jesselyn shouted as she ran after him, leaving Geoff and Blaze alone.

"Alright listen here Blaze," Dad glared at the animated puppy. "You may have fooled my family due to your cute looks, but you'll never fool me. I've got my eyes on you."

Blaze watched as Geoff walked backward and glaring at the puppy giving him the 'I got my eyes on you' look. However, Geoff tripped on one of Ericha's clothes and tumbled into her closet.

"Are you okay mister?" Blaze asked worriedly.

"Y-yeah," He replied as he stood up and acted as if nothing happened. "Just... you know..."

Geoff then darted out of the room, leaving Blaze to stare oddly. "People in this world sure are weird."

Blaze got off the bed and walked near the window. He was amazed by how beautiful the outside looks in this world. The sun was shining brighter than a Ninetails marvelous flames and there were houses that looked much bigger than his home.

However, despite the wonderful view Blaze's mind was full of questions. 'What happened to my family and How did I end up in another world inside an egg?'

"Blaze! Supper's ready!" Ericha called out. Blaze stared at the wonderful world outside for a few seconds before he ran out of the room.


Blaze and the Hames family were enjoying their dinner. They didn't have a dining room so they ate on the kitchen table since their apartment was small. Blaze was enjoying a plate of white rice and fried chicken.

"Dad, you're coming with us to the Museum of Science and Technology tomorrow right?" Jesselyn asked after she just swallows her food.

"Of course I am!" Geoff replied. "I can't wait to see the dinosaurs and those shiny rocks and minerals."

"Dad, that's the Canadian Museum of Nature," Jesselyn corrected. "We're going to the one that has a life-size model of a lighthouse."

"I knew that! I was just testing you," Geoff fibbed.

"I don't know if dad should go dear," Sheila sadly replied said, "He needs to stay with Blaze. I need to go to work tomorrow morning."

"Aww," Tristan whined.

"I'm sure that dog will be okay by himself," Geoff said, "I mean it not like anyone coming over."

"Are you sure about this honey?" Sheila whispered to her husband.

"It okay dear," Geoff whispered back. "As long we lock the doors and windows, he won't be causing trouble."

As he said that, they suddenly heard a banging sound. Ericha turned her head to find the empty chair beside her laying on it side and the animated puppy laying face down on the floor.

"You're okay?" Ericha asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," He answered as he sat up. "I just wanted to join in with you guys."

"Oh sorry Blaze," Ericha said looking guilty. "We shouldn't be talking behind your back like that."

"Oh it okay," Blaze replied with a grin on his face. "I just wanted to say that you don't need to worry about me. I've been alone a lot so you don't need to worry about the building blowing up or burning down."

Everyone stared at the puppy in surprise. The puppy was small, but had a mature personality.

"So, do you have a family Blaze?" Sheila asked.

"Yes," Blaze answered as Ericha put the chair up so the puppy could sit on it. "I have a mother and two sisters. My father left home after I was born, so I don't know what he looks like."

'I wonder what kind of Pokemon his parents?' Ericha thought. She suddenly noticed the alien puppy feeling sick as she noticed him feeling uneasy. "Are you okay Blaze?"

"Not...really," He groaned as he suddenly puckered his lips like he was about to puke.

"Clear out Clear out!" Geoff yelled as he sat up and jumped over the couch while the other stood up from their chairs took a step back.

"Quick! Someone get a bucket or something!" Jesselyn screamed. Ericha quickly went to the bottom cabinet and grabbed a metal mop bucket. She returned just in time as Erich put the bucket under Blaze's mouth.

BLECKKK!

Blaze quickly snatch the bucket and vomited out the substance. The teenage girl was about to speak but her eyes widen when she noticed that his puke was purple.

How did she know it was purple without looking inside the bag? Well, the purple substance somehow was on the floor. Ericha watched in awe as the substance burned through the wood floor like a paper in a fire.

Once he was finally done puking, the rest of the family turned around feeling a little cautious and worried about the puppy.

"Are you okay Blaze?" Sheila asked breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah, It must have been the small colorful bears I ate a while ago," Blaze answered as he stared at the mess. "Sorry about your bucket...and your floor."

At first, there were confused about what he meant until Blaze showed them the hole in the bucket. The whole family was speechless like they've just seen a ghost.

Ericha, on the other hand, was thinking that this was going to be harder to keep him a secret after what just happened. She still doesn't know much about Blaze, besides being a Pokemon, but she can tell that there are more surprises in store for her and her family.


After cleaning the floor, the family finished dinner and went to do their regular routines. Ericha was in her room reading her novel while Blaze was exploring under her bed for anything unusual.

"Whoa!" Blaze said in awed. He scurried back while pulling out a skateboard with his teeth. Ericha noticed it and groaned.

"I thought I told Tristan not to leave his stuff under my bed," She mumbled in annoyance.

"What is this thing?" Blaze asked, staring at the skateboard.

"That a skateboard," Ericha answered as she returned to her book. "It a tool boys use to do stupid and crazy stunts."

Curious, Blaze sniffed the board and then pushed causing it to roll. "Wow, this is so cool!"

Ericha watched as Blaze stood on it with his four legs, however, it only lasted a second as the puppy slipped off of it and landed on his face. Ericha couldn't help but giggle.

Blaze slowly stood up as he rolled back the skateboard where it was. The puppy took a deep breath and did a running start towards the skateboard, only to flip off the skateboard the second he touched it landing on his back.

Ericha giggled as Blaze stood up still dazed for a while, but shook it off and turned to her. "That thing should come with a warning label."

"You're really cute," Ericha said as she patted his head. "I still can't believe that you're a Pokemon though. I mean I know absolutely nothing about Pokemon. Usually, my brother is the Pokemon wizard, and even he doesn't recognize your species."

"I don't know much about it myself," Blaze answered. "My mother only said that I'm a rare species."

"A rare species huh?" Ericha thought out loud as she put her book on her dresser. "Is that the reason why you entered our world?"

"What do you mean?" Blaze turned towards Ericha with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is there someone that hates you in your world?" Ericha asked without thinking. "Someone who wants to use your fur as a comfy coat?"

Blaze thought for a second before answering. "Yes there is someone who hates me, but she would rather jump in a lake of fire than using my coat."


In Blaze's world, the forest was wiped out like Garfield at a buffet table. Beams were firing everywhere as the war goes on. The Pokemon were having an easier time dealing with the tree monsters even though they were outnumbered.

"Where the heck are they coming from?" Niodan yelled as he fired a stream of flames out of his mouth at a group of them while Tyront and Grumera were right beside him.

"I don't know, but we have to keep stalling!" Grumera replied loudly over the explosion.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Three little piggy's think they can beat my army,"

A voice replied behind the three. They turned around to find a hyena-like Pokemon staring at them. Its body is a mixture of black and grey fur however its legs were black with claw feet and a short tail. Its ears are rhombus shaped with a dark inside and had a red nose.

"Hey! We're not piggies!" Niodan yelled, not realizing that Grumera is a pig. "I'm the Armor Pokemon, he's the Drill Pokemon and she's the Manipulate Pokemon!"

"For the last time, I'm the Armor Pokemon and your the Drill Pokemon!" Tyront corrected. "Honestly, do I look like I have a big fat horn on my head?"

"Who are ya calling fat you stupid walking piece of armor!" Niodan growled back

"I don't care who you three morons are!" The dog snapped looking annoyed. "Tell me where my little brother is."

"We will never tell you that your brother is with your mother, who is easily escaping right now!" Niodan replied, causing the Tyront and Grumera to facepalm, while the hyena smirked.

"Thanks for the information," The dark hyena said. "Now step aside so I can go find her."

"You think we will let you Mizella?" Grumera asked sternly.

"Yeah if you want to search for Arcainine then you have to get past us!" Tyront said. "And we all know that you can't take all of us on by yourself."

The Hyena Pokemon known as Mizella stared at the three Pokemon with a smirk on her face. Not feeling intimidated by their bulky bodies and strength. "You're right. I can't take you all on my own. That why I'll summon some backup."

She extended her arm right in front of her confusing the three Pokemon. Before Grumera can ask a Master Ball suddenly formed from the hyena paws. The whole Master ball was covered black with a red lined Heart design covering the front part with a dark purple circle from either side.

Niodan and Tyront stared at each other for a minute and then burst out laughing. Grumera and Mizella just sweat-dropped by their stupidity.

"Ha ha! That's kinda cute!" Tyront laughed holding his stomach.

"What are ya gonna do? Catch us with that Master Ball?" Niodan joked as the two laughed harder. The two female Pokemon watch as the two were rolling on the ground holding their stomachs from laughing too hard.

"Ignoring my two idiot brothers, what with the Master Ball?" Grumera asked.

"This isn't just a regular Master Ball," Mizella explained. "It's a Heart Ball, a special ball that will transform any object, energy, even humans into strong ravaging monster."

"Ooh! I'm so scared," Niodan faked scared while laughing. "Bring it on! It not any different from these pathetic so call army we've dealt with."

"You guys are in for a surprise," The hyena Pokemon smirked. "Come out Heartless and bring destruction to the entire world!"

Mizella slammed the Heart ball into the ground with great force causing the Heart Ball to sink into the ground. At first nothing happened and Niodan continued to laugh, however, he stopped when they felt the ground shaking beneath them.

"WHAT GOING ON?" Tyront yelled over the rumbling noise before they could answer, a giant hand made of dirt appear behind the three and was about to crush the three.

"Protect!" Grumera shouted as she summons a green force field with her hands around the three just in time as the hand slapped the shield engulfing the whole area with dirt.

Once the remains of the dirt made hand disappeared into the ground, Grumera's shield disappear causing panted in exhaustion while Tyront and Niodan turned pure white like they've seen a ghost.

"W-what the heck was that?" Tyront asked shivering in fear. The three suddenly heard a bunch of screams coming from behind them. They turned to find something that may their jaw drop to the ground.

A ginormous bipedal looking monster emerges from the ground far away from the three Pokemon. The monster was so huge they were multiple forests and fields on it back with a giant black and red heart logo on it back.

The rest of the monster's body was made of sand which was trapping every Pokemon on the ground. A flock of flying and levitating Pokemon flew towards the monster and fired multiple beams and orbs at the monster. Although the attacks were hitting its arm, the monster wasn't phased by it. The trees on it back began to shoot out multiple vines easily capturing the Pokemon in the air.

In the ocean multiple water Pokemon started firing streams of water all in unison at the monster's sides, however, it still didn't have any effect on it. A bunch of vines shoots towards the water and bondage some of the Pokemon tried to escape by diving underwater, but they got caught as well.

Niodan, Tyront, and Grumera watch in shock as their comrades were getting caught by this huge monster. Grumera angrily turned to the evil grinning hyena, "What did you do Mizella?"

"Oh nothing dangerous," She replied. " I just turned this entire planet into one big heartless!"

Niodan stared at the creature and then back at her, "You're telling me that's a heartless?"

"What the matter? Are you all just big talk?" Mizella laughed.

"What are we going to do?" Tyront whispered to Niodan and Grumera frightened.

"We won't give in to her threats no matter what," Grumera whispered back.

"Got it!" Niodan said understanding what she meant. He turned towards Mizella with a serious look on his face. "Alright Miz, we've decided that we aren't falling for your intimidation!"

"That right!" Tyront chanted.

"Because we surrender!" The Nidoking shouted confidently.

"That rig- WHAT?!" Tyront comically shouted, while Grumera facepalmed.

"Now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Mizella snickered as he walked towards the three muscular Pokemon. "Don't worry I won't turn you all into heartless. As long as you can tell me where my mother is and where she hiding my little brother."
