Silver lined shadows dance around the world's protectors and destroyers.
The beasts of nature obey him and grow beyond time with him.
His brethren fear that which resides within his heart.
For not all is as black and white as they believed.
The lines of humanity have faded and blurred.
The true fear of the ancients has awakened.
For only the true one can stop his rage.
And to return him from the wrath.
Its nature must be fought.
And so you awaken my child.
Dante waked up in the middle of the night damped with cold sweat covering his body. His body was tired and his eyes where sore. "What was all of that about?" asked Dante trying to recall the dream. He turned at what he thought was movement only too seeing his two companions sleeping comfortably next to him.
"Wake up boys, we have to reach striaton city before noon and I would like to catch a good pokemon before we reach there okay." Dante said to his pokemon who where surprised that the trainer woke up almost at the end of dawn. The trainer placed Nobunaga in his pokeball and started walking down route 2 with pride in his heart.
The road was full of pokemon but sadly none that will really interest Dante which made him get stressed about not finding powerful pokemon or at least one that made his pokemon even break a sweat. As he continued to walk forward dispatching any wild pokemon that challenged his pokemon or any trainer that challenged them to a battle he noticed that after a little while there was a rustling in the bushes every time he walked, "Show yourself, before I retaliate." Dante screamed.
The secret stalker moved out of the bushes. Dante expected another bandit trying to steal his pokemon but instead he found a small oddly colored Axew that seemed too tin to be healthy with what looked like a crude contraption round his jaw. Dante looked to the dragon and immediately felt his pain. He walked up to the starved pokemon and offered it help. "You… you must be very hungry." Dante said with his hand reaching out to the Axew.
"We need to remove that thing around your mouth so you can eat, can I get close?" Dante said calmly. The dragon nodded because he was hungrier that he was scared to the trainer. The metal wire contraption around his mouth seems to have been designed to both harm and starve the pokemon which made Dante angry at whoever decided to place this monstrosity upon the poor pokemon. The contraption was placed very tightly around Axew's neck so Dante had to be extremely careful not to hurt the pokemon even more, at one point he took out a titanium serrated knife he had in his bag witch made the axew nervous but he didn't move trusting the trainer.
After what seemed like hours Dante was able to release the pokemon from its portable prison and fed him a lot of pokemon food so it would retain its normal weight. "You must have been really hungry buddy." Dante said as the axew asked for seconds. Dante smiled to the pokemon and immediately recognized the scars covering its body. "Your previous trainer wasn't really nice to you eh buddy." Dante stated. The axew looked down in what looked to be shame. "Don't worry; you will never have to suffer from that ever again." Said the trainer but that was not short lived as a biker looking trainer ran and grabbed the axew from the back of its neck.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU LITTLE WEAKLING!?" screamed the biker to its Axew. "AND WHO SAID YOU COULD REMOVE THAT THING YOU USELESS LIZARD." He quickly added. Dante's anger was rising with every word that came out the biker's mouth. "Let go of that Axew you worthless scum!" said Dante in a voice that wasn't his own. "And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" asked the trainer. "I will show you a world of pain you mongrel." He quickly added.
The trainer reached to his pocket to take out his pokeball but was quickly interrupted by Dante's rapid fist into his throat. The biker keeled over holding his throat trying to breathe. Dante stomped the punk's head down before it could regain its composure and held him down. "THE ONLY REASON I DON'T CRUSH YOUR SKULL IS BECAUSE IM WEARING MY FAVORITE SHOES." Dante screamed in a bloodlust voice. The trainer quickly reached for his opponents pokeballs and crushed them under his fist releasing all the pokemon under the Biker's property.
The biker lay silent on the floor because he was both afraid of Dante's strength and in shock because he had just lost all his pokemon which quickly fled to the wild. Dante hoisted him upwards and said: "If I ever see you again I will destroy everything you stand for, do we understand each other?" The scared biker nodded and Dante released him and he ran with tears on his eyes.
"As I said, you will never have to deal with that" Dante said to Axew who immediately hugged the trainer in gratitude for releasing him from that torment. "Hey, you want to come with us in my journey? An oddly colored Axew will most certainly be a fine addition to my team." Dante asked to axew with his hand extended to the Axew.
The dragon locked eyes with the trainer trying to figure out whether the trainer was serious about his offer almost as if he thought the trainer might be trying to pull his leg (or claw). "Why are you looking at me like that?" Dante asked. "I'm serious about it; I would love it if we were able to have you around." He added with a smile. Axew almost cried out of happiness when those words came out of Dante's mouth. What Axew wanted the most in his life was to be under the wing of a powerful trainer who would treat him like a pokemon should be treated, his previous trainer used to abuse him and insult him every chance he got and now his rescuer from that hell on earth was asking him if he wanted to join him.
"An oddly colored Axew, an Oshawott that demonstrate high rank abilities and his Lupio that somehow is able to take down pokemon with a type advantage over him without breaking a sweat." Gilliana Harmonia said. "He will soon have a really powerful team and probably try to become the new unova champion." Said a man in a pitch black, gold lined and English cut suit. "If you give me new, more powerful pokemon I should be able to take that Lupio away from him and we will be able to use it to our advantage." claimed Gilliana. "No, if you try to take his pokemon away from him his power might tear you limb from limb." He said. "We don't know if he can control himself in that state yet, and besides maybe we can convince him to work for us." He added with an eerie smile. "HAVE HIM WORK FOR US!?" Gilliana shouted witch made the Gentleman's mood turn sour. "HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HIS FATHER DID TO ME?" she quickly added.
His eyes glowed a sickly purple and grabbed Gilliana by the throat "I'm the one that gives the orders here, and I hope that you haven't forgotten that." He said calmly while applying pressure to her throat. "Now go to striaton city, I need you to annoy him some more. And take some level 20 pokemon from the vault." He added lightly. "Why do you want me to annoy him again?" She asked. "That might speed things up." He answered.
Dante reached striaton city without any difficulties his team couldn't deal with and that placed him in a rather good mood. "How about we go to a restaurant and feast before challenging the leader in striaton city?" Dante proposed. "or we can get ourselves a badge and then have another reason to celebrate. What about that?" he added. His pokemon gave him a look that could only mean one thing in the world. "That does it then, to the gym!" Dante said.
Dante arrived to the gym and opened the doors expecting to see a battle ground full of pokemon and a gym leader waiting for him to arrive. but to his confusion all that greeted him was a restaurant full of women and three waiters with different colored hair. "uhmm… I think I got the wrong address, could anyone point me to the striaton gym please." Dante said with shame in his voice.
"No need to worry my boy, this is the striaton gym, welcomed. My name is cilan." Said the green haired waiter. "We really need to do something about this you know. people keep getting confused about where to go for a battle." Said the blue haired waiter. "Well, what do you propose? we put a giant banner that says "GYM"?" asked the red haired waiter.
"Well if this is the gym, I come here for a battle which one of you is the gym leader?" Dante said in a battle position. "Calm down kid, first you have to decide; which one of us are you gonna battle?" said Cillan. "There's me Chilli, the fire master, my brother Cress, the water master or Cillan here, The grass master." Said the red haired trainer. Dante looked to the three trainers and started thinking.
"I have decided, my opponent shall be… all three of you. I will take down all three of you to earn my badge." Dante claimed. "well that is most unusual boy, it has been some time since we got to fight all three of us." Cillan admitted. "How do you want to play this?" asked Chilli. "How about this? a triple battle." Cress proposed. "I will use three pokemon and you get one each, how about that." Dante proposed. "We accept." The brothers said in unison.
The battle started and Dante released all his Pokemon with Axew in the left, Nobunaga on the right and Lupio in the centre all ready for battle. The brothers released their pokemon and the three elemental monkeys came out. All seemed strong and ready but that didn't bother Dante one bit. Dante commanded Lupio to use extremespeed against Pansage, Nobunaga used aqua jet against Pansear and so Axew used Dual chop on Panpour. All attacks landed but only Lupio's and Nobunaga's moves seemed to have made an effect as both Pansage and Pansear where sent flying back but Panpour was able to hold his ground.
Cress ordered to use ice beam on axew but Lupio used extremespeed to block the ice beam while axew switched his target to a barely recuperating Pansage who was defeated with a dual chop rather easily. "How is that possible?" Cillan asked confused and shamed because his pokemon was the first to fall. Chilli ordered Pansear to use Flamethrower on Lupio who was busy blocking the stream of ice beam Panpour was sending. "Nobu use aqua jet again quick!" Dante ordered. The Otter stormed rapidly all covered in water to strike the Pansear who was about to unleash flames upon Lupio. The monkey was struck to the side with a second aqua jet that sends him flying across the gym and laid defeated on the ground. "Pansear!? How is that possible?" Chilli shouted.
"Let's finish this Lupio, Use Midnight slash on Panpour." Dante ordered. The wolf completely broke the stream of ice beam and charged forward with his right claw shinning with shadow like energy and struck the monkey who was immediately defeated by the monstrous attack from the wolf.
The leaders where in shock, they had just witnessed their main pokemon get crushed by Dante's team who all came out unscratched. "Due to your victory in the striaton gym we present you with the trio badge." Cillan said as he gave Dante the badge. Dante was about to smile and celebrate when he noticed that Nobunaga was shinning. "It can't be…" said Dante. Nobunaga was evolving into Dewott. He grew and instead of one scalchop he possessed 2 now.
"HA today is just getting better, looks like I captured you pretty soon from evolving eh Nobu." Dante said with excitement obvious in his eyes. "Thank you for the battle but now I must go and celebrate with my Pokemon." He said to the trainers as he walked out of the gym into the hotel he was staying.
After a night of celebration and a great sleep Dante was prepared to leave striaton and continue his journey. But as Dante reached the outsides of the city he saw an image that made his blood boil. "Hello sweetie, ready for a rematch?" Gilliana said as she stood in the middle of the road.
