As I headed for home, I was suddenly surprised when I saw three people standing there, each wearing a blue shirt with a G on it.
They were from team galactic.
I growled instinctively, and before I could stop myself, all six eyes were on me. Damn pokemon side! I could feel them scanning me just like how Ara did. I must have looked really strange; My jeans were torn, my shirt had bite marks all over, my face was scratched and I was really dirty, covered in fur and dirt. "Well hello sir." one said. I tensed up, but I decided to just be friendly. "H-hello." I replied with a fake smile. "Fancy seeing another trainer up here." remarked the other. Shit! I forgot team galactic wouldn't let trainers here. "Well, I am not a trainer." I spoke abruptly. "Is that so?" replied the other guy, eyeing me up and down. "It does appear that you lack any pokemon on you."
"Yes, I am not a trainer, just came up here for the views."
"How did you reach the summit without any pokemon?" He inquired.
"To be honest, I don't know. I sprayed some repel, and just found my way up here."
"Interesting... Well, now that you have finished, don't come back. Team galactic has important business here." he signaled me to leave, so I just left.
I sprayed some repel, then descended from Mt. Coronet without any disturbances. In my home, I picked up more repel, some water, and some extra junk, and finally I headed back to the summit, planning on training some more, and hopefully finding out more about myself.
I shoved all my shit into a bag and headed for the summit. As I was climbing, I noticed there was an influx of galactic members who all glanced at me with suspicion. I just ignored it and made my way to the top.
When I was finally there, I stopped in my tracks. The three galactic members who told me to fuck off were still there. "I told you not to come back." One said with a frown. "I… I have business here." I quickly blurted. He looked inquisitively at me. "Business? On the summit of Mt. Coronet?" He mused.
"Yes, please, just let me pass, I won't meddle."
"Is it business that's important enough to fight over?"
"Yes - wait no - wait y - " I stammered, trying to decide what to do. There was something… attractive about the Absols that drew me there. Maybe it was that I wanted to learn more about myself, maybe the change of scenery. It was something worth fighting for, especially if these galactics were planning on attacking the pokemon here.
"Very well. I will trust you." Answered the Galactic. I relaxed with a sigh, and headed to the Absol homes. As I walked, the Galactic guy turned at me and threw a pokemon ball out. "Steelix, iron tail."
I couldn't see anything. Around me were metal bars. I cried for Leo, who was on the other side, filled with tears as he desperately fought the men that held him back. And then, Darkrai appeared. A white, inverted Darkrai.
"Ab!" I yelped and got up. It was just a dream… but I was a disaster pokemon, which meant that was probably the future. I tried to put my hand on Leo to reassure myself, but looking around, there was no sight of him anywhere! "Shit!" I yelled, and frantically sniffed the air for his scent. I slowly found a trail and started to follow it. It led to the cliffside, where I left him yesterday. Slowly, I leapt from ledge to ledge, until I started to pick up his scent. Wait a second… there was something else. I could smell another flesh… one that was pure human. Three of them. "Maybe it's just his friends?" I thought. Just in case, I hid in the snowy grass, in hopes of not being seen. I leapt into the snowy grass, head low, but high enough to see and make out the figures. It was those blue shirt fuckers!
Were they holding Leo back? I leaned in and tried to make out the conversation. "Very well" I heard the galactic say. I sighed and crept up to him, still laying low. As I was about to reach him, I heard a pokemon pop from its ball and the galactic say, "Steelix, Iron tail!"
They planned to attack him. They wanted to harm him, and claim this as their land. I broke out in a fit of rage and jumped up and bit the steelix as hard as I could. "FUCK YOU!" I roared at the Galactic, barely articulating my words as I seethed in anger.
I tensed up as I heard the galactic order his pokemon to attack me, but suddenly heard running and a crunch sound as Ara ran up to my side, screaming at the galactic. The steelix was not expecting anything, so he took quite a blow. "Ara! You came!" I cried happily. The other two galactic members who were watching from the sidelines grabbed their pokeballs, ready for a battle. "Hmm, looks like your pokemon came to rescue you eh?" The guy retorted. "Steelix! Retreat." He lifted up his pokeball and the angry steelix disappeared. As for Ara and I, we were both still on edge and Ara was growling. The galactic then turned to me.
"Excuse that rude introduction, I knew you wouldn't have climb Mt. Coronet without a pokemon, so I had to see it for myself. My name is Cyrus. I see that you are a new trainer, and your pokemon is full of spirit." He retorted. Suddenly, his fake smile turned into a frown. "Such emotions are useless. They only cause pain and hatred amongst others. Us at team galactic have set out to purge this world of them. Seeing as your pokemon is full of emotion, why not put it to a good cause? Join us, and we will make the world a better place!" He added, and held out a hand.
"My pokemon is full of emotion?" I asked.
"Yes, unnecessary emotions that can be -"
"Well if my pokemon is full of emotion, I think yours are full of shit. Fuck your offer." I replied coldly, and turned to Ara. "Come on, let's go." I told her. Cyrus retracted his hand and sighed. "When push comes to shove, don't expect us to be fond of you." He told me threateningly. "I wasn't fond of you anyways. Oh, and do us a favour, take those fucking space suits off, they're a bloody eyesore!" I added, and left them then and there. Ara trotted beside me, but instead of just going to the habitat, I entered the cave, not wanting the galactics to get suspicious since I would have to scale the side of the mountain.
Cyrus sighed. "Poor trainer, being guided so blindly by emotions won't lead him anywhere. He does not know what is in store for him, or Sinnoh."
Once Cyrus and his friends were out of sight, Ara and I took the long way around. "Thank you for saving me." I told Ara gratefully. "I, I am so sorry… if I didn't leave the mountain, n - none of this would have happened." I added sheepishly.
"Leo, don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault that you wanted water or clothes." She replied with a lick to my hand.
"By the way… why do humans need to wear clothes?" She asked. All the guilt I was just having was immediately replaced with awkwardness and embarrassment.
"Well… uh… you see uh… to keep… warm?" I stuttered.
"But when it's hot?" She replied.
"Umm… well unlike pokemon… we don't have fur… or p - protection.. for - for ourselves." I answered awkwardly. To be honest, I really did not have a good answer to that besides humans find it embarrassing. I blushed a bright red when I started to think about it more.
Ara saw me blushing and just laughed. "You are so easy to tease!" She replied and brushed against me.
"You did ask me a stupid question!" I retorted. "Ugh, you… you…" I was trying to think of a good insult, when Ara jump tackled me. "I dare you to finish that sentence!" She replied playfully, and pinned me against the floor. "Oh, I will!" I replied, and used dark void on her. She loosened her grip on me and slumped to the floor. I got up, but Ara quickly awoke. I was a very weak pokemon compared to her, so my moves had a minute effect. "Oh, it's game on!" Ara cried with a cock of her head. She then pounced on me and stared into my eyes with a serious frown. It was pretty… unsettling. At first, I even thought she was angry but then I realized…
"Don't leer at me!" I demanded.
"It works like a charm! You just lowered your defences." She replied. "Enough so that I can BITE YOU" She added and lunged at me. Once again, I felt the same sharp fangs pierce my sides. "Owwwwww" I whined, and attempted to put my hand on the wound even though I was still pinned. It was searing hot, still painful, but not as bad as it felt previously. I had "leveled up" and the damage done was reduced. Ara stared at me. "Aand we have a winner!" She proclaimed triumphantly, and as I saw her bearing her fangs, I thought quickly. My hand moved up and I pushed her side. She was taken aback and let me lose but quickly regained her composure and barred her teeth. I just got up, taking my time without a care. The bite never came. "Something wrong?" I snickered. It took a while for Ara to realize what happened. "Oh, you used disable you little -" I cut her off with a feint attack. It hit her right to the side. With a yelp, she lost her footing and fell against the cave wall. This time, I pinned her. "Looks like the tables have turned!" I told her with a grin. "Nu-uh!" She replied, and grabbed me. In the blink of an eye, I was rolling down the steps of the cave. Quick attack is overpowered! I hit my head against the rock. Hard. "Aah!" I yelled as the searing pain ran through my skull. Quickly, Ara ran over to my side. After checking for any blood, she pointed a paw at herself. "Two." she said, and continued her charade by pointing at me. "Zero."
I just rolled my eyes at her statement and attempted to get up. I was too dizzy, and could barely maintain my balance. "You need to go to a…" Ara told me. "A what?" I replied.
"Pokecenter." Ara replied, and I watched her in annoyance as she tried to hold back laughter. Just imagining the thought of getting shoved in a pokeball and being healed by those machines made me groan. Ara found this very funny. "What about this?" I replied, and pulled out a potion. The moment Ara saw it, she looked disgusted. "Hm?" I asked. Ara suddenly grinend. "Oh nothing… you will see." I looked at her in confusion for a bit before finally opening the potion and chugging it down. Big mistake. Immediately, I started gagging at the awful, putrid taste. Ara was laughing and enjoying my reaction. It was really horrible, and I spat the rest of it out. "What the fuck was that shit?" I asked in disgust. Ara stopped laughing, and replied; "Why, did you think that potions would taste as good as poffins?" I wiped my mouth and gagged at the horrible aftertaste. Luckily, it was not in vain and my headache cleared. I got up, with only little pain, and headed for the habitat with Ara trailing behind.
Okay, got that one done. So far my chapter have been pretty short, so I can get more out quicker but would you guys like to have longer chapters? If yes, that means I will update more rarely. Oh, and next episode is a feely one, and they start to fall in love. Cringy? Maybe. Fun to write? Hell yeah!
Go check out my rough draft. Make edits to it if you want before I upload my next chapter. If you can't edit, look for grammar mistakes. If you can't do that either, go put a little shit in the corner with your name and "was here!"
