Welcome back again my peeps~

I've looked over my last chapter…and I'll have to add and delete some words. Sorry, I was half asleep when I typed it. It will be fixed.

Chapter 3- Drago and a Lost Goomy.


~The Next Morning~

*Blaise's Point of View*

I was awoken by a soft nudge against my head. I quickly stood up, but instantly regretted as sharp pains shot up my body; "Slow down there youngling." Nuzleaf said as he rushed to steady me, "S-sorry, I'm just still groggy and I've never fought like that." Nuzleaf gave me a small smile, "Aw now," he said, patting my head gently, "don't worry about that, if you keep training, the pains will eventually fade."

I gave him a small smile as he led me to his room, which was also the main room. Nuzleaf led me to a small wooden table; my stomach growled loudly as my eyes landed on the apples, oran, and pecha berries that lay on a small wooden plate. As I tucked into my meal, Nuzleaf sat a small wooden cup of water beside me, which I grabbed before drinking every last drop; Nuzleaf chuckled, "Mighty hungry, ain't ya?" I felt a blush crawl up my cheeks, "S-sorry, I was j-just really hungry." Nuzleaf gave me a grin, "Ah, don't worry about it." He said before grabbing a piece of paper off the table. I felt my curiosity get the better of me, "What's that?" I asked, "It's a registration form for you to be able to attend the village school." He said

(The village has a school? W-wow! Maybe someone can be my frie-no!...I'm too shy…no one would want to be my friend. *^*)

Nuzleaf sent me a small smile, "Now lass," he said softly, "I want you to stay here why I go give this form to the principle, ok?" I gave him a small nod, "Yes sir." Nuzleaf gave me a stern look before walking out.

I walked back to my room and lay down on my warm bed, dozing lightly as the sun glared through the window. Suddenly my room got all dark and I jumped up, only to shriek at the shadow before racing off into the main room. I held my breath at the rustling sound.

Blaise nervously looked around before making a choice. She ran outside before taking a defensive position. She never saw the reptilian creature tip toe closer before giving a light tug on her furry tail.


*Blaise's Point of View*

I screamed loudly, "Help! N-Nuzleaf, the creepers are back!" The grip on my tail lightened and I jumped forward before turning around to face my opponent. Before me stood a reptilian type of creature; he was a few inches taller with flaming orange skin. He flexed his razor blade-like claws as he looked me over with icy sapphire orbs. The thing about him that captivated me the most was his tail. At the end there was a small orange/yellow flame that shined brightly.

"Oi!" he yelled, sending me into an involuntary shudder at the sound of its deepness, "I'm not a creeper!" I backed up, "S-sorry," I quickly apologized, "I t-thought that you were s-someone else." The male smirked at me, "I guess that I'll forgive you this once, since you're new and a cutie too." I blushed, "Who are you?" I asked, "The name's Drago and by that look, you don't know what I am, do you?" my blush got deeper and Drago smirked once more, "That's alright cutie, I'm a charmander, what's your name?" "My name i-is Blaise."

Drago grinned, "So," he said in a husky voice, "you're Mr. Nuzleaf's charge huh?" I smiled, "Yes I am." The charmander's grin got bigger as he wrapped an arm behind my head, "Well, since you're new and all, why don't I show you around?" He pulled me along before I could answer back.


*Third Point of View*

Blaise's eyes grew big as she and Drago entered the main part of the village. She didn't notice that Drago was looking at her with a small smile etched on his face. As he was about to say something, a nasal-like voice interrupted him, "Drago!" both Blaise and Drago looked over to see a pissed Pokemon walking towards them. "You've been tearing up my lily pads again, haven't you?!" Drago gave the male a death-panned look, "That's your problem, not mine." He said, making the pokemon turn red with fury.

Blaise quickly and quietly snuck behind the charmander for protection, but he didn't notice as another Pokemon came running towards the forming crowd. "You've also took my treasure too, haven't you?!" the hippo Pokemon yelled; Drago just barley spared him a glance, "Again, not my problem." Before the two raging Pokemon could say anything, a deep voice echoed throughout the village, "BOY!" A large turtle Pokemon made his way through the crowd, glaring down at Drago the whole way through.

*Blaise's Point of View*

As soon as I saw the big blue/gray Pokemon, Drago flinched before he glared back, "What do ya want pops?" "YOU'VE BEEN EATING THE ORAN BERRIES AGAIN! HAVEN'T YOU BOY?!" I shook in fear, but Drago just stared straight ahead,

"No, I haven't, thank you very much."

"Yes you have, boy!"

"I have not!"

"Yes you have!"

"OLD MAN!"

"UNGRATEFUL BRAT!"

Drago sighed, "Ya got me." I fell to the ground at his remark before more Pokemon came and they gave chase. As he was running, I heard him yell, "I'LL CATCH UP WITH YA LATER CUTIE!" somehow I just knew he was talking about me; I felt loneliness creep up my up my spine.

Just then, two figures caught my eye. One was small and looked like a kissy face and the other looked like a deer-like Pokemon. The deer was frowning down at the other Pokemon before she turned heel and walked deeper into the forest, the other following with a worried look. I felt my curiosity get the better of me, again, so I followed after them.


*Third Point of View*

Blaise followed the two Pokemon until she came to a clearing. The two from earlier had joined a panda-like Pokemon, who grinned smugly. Blaise wandered a little closer to hear what they were saying; "Pancham!" the deer roared, her face turning a nice shade of apple red, "Shelmet! You two are in deep trouble, how could you let Goomy go alone?!" The mentioned Pokemon glanced everywhere, but the raging female in front of them. "H-he was talking big Deerling." Pancham said, but Deerling looked at him in disbelief, "Oh," she started sarcastically, "and I guess you two are completely innocent in this?!" she snapped back; the two males didn't look Deerling in the eye and she felt tears well up in her eyes.


*Blaise's Point of View*

I hurried to Deerling's side, "I can go look for him." I said as the three Pokemon jumped in surprise. Pancham and Shelmet glared at me, but before they could get one word out, Deerling looked at me with hope in her chocolate eyes, "Will you?" she asks, I nodded my head softly before the female nudged me in her own version of a hug.

After both males gave me the directions to where Goomy was, I went on my way. Foreboding Forest about just killed me as I fought off wild Pokemon with my ember and psybeam. Finally though, after the 5th or 6th floor, I came to a clearing; I saw an adorable purple/green slug Pokemon shivering as he grasped the piece of paper under his body.

He flinched backwards, letting me see that he had accomplished what he sat out to do; writing his name on the piece of paper. I gave Goomy a gentle smile, "Don't worry, your friend Deerling sent me to save you." Goomy settled after before he glomped me in a hug, sobbing, "T-thank g-g-goodness, I-I was s-s-so s-scared."

We were tackled in a hug by Deerling as we arrived, "Oh Goomy," she said, kissing the top of his head, "I was so worried!" He gave her a shy smile, "Sorry Deerling." Their bubble of happiness was quickly popped as Pancham proceeded to steal the piece of paper, call Goomy's writing sloppy, and run away with Shelmet, both threatening to show the whole village.

Deerling and I tried our best to comfort Goomy, but he just shook his head determinedly, "I-I'll get s-stronger and I'll show them who's boss!" he shouted, making me and Deerling smile secretly at each other.

After we said our goodbyes, I walked back to Nuzleaf's house to find him looking around and franticly calling my name. As soon as he saw me, Nuzleaf raced over and brought me into his arms, "WHERE IN BLAZES HAVE YOU BEEN BLAISE?!" he roared, concern and angry was shown on his face, "Can w-we go i-inside, I-I have a lot t-to tell." Nuzleaf nodded before carrying me inside.

"WHHAAAATTT?!"

I flinched at his reaction. He must have saw because I saw him close his eyes and take slow, but deep breaths, "I understand that you're young and all and that you want to adventure, but please," he begged, and I felt guilt grip my chest, making it hard to breathe without sobbing, "let me know where you're going, leave a note or something."

"Y-yes sir." I said as we sat down to eat; before I went to my bed, Nuzleaf pulled me into a hug, "Now don't go and feel like it's your fault, you're young, you want freedom," he shushed me as I tried to speak, "I understand, but please just be careful from now on, ya hear?" I nodded my head, smiling as he gave me a grin, "Good. Now scamper on to bed now youngling."

As I lay in my bed, I look up at the stars and moon that shown their rays through the window; I wonder if I will meet Drago again? Are Deerling and Goomy my friends? Are Pancham and Shelmet my enemies? I pushed the thoughts away as sleep dragged me within its depths.


I Hope that you liked it~ Please comment if you have any questions or PM me, either one is okay with me. :)
