A/N Hi this is Gallade Lover doing chapter 5! Sorry about not posting on the weekend, I don't have internet at my house. Do with no further waiting, Here is chapter 4.
Velvet's POV
The tadpole and I, who I still haven't figured out who I was, walked outside the hut and she lead me to a lake.
"Sorry if I didn't introduce myself, my names Poli. I'm a Poliwag."
"My names Velvet, but I'm called Vel."
"You're a ditto I see. I haven't seen one in a while."
"Oh really?" I said, acting like I knew myself, which I didn't.
"Dittos come and go from this region in the summer."
"Ah."
"Do you travel much?"
"Not really."
"Hm. Here we are." Poli said as we arrived at the lake. It was beautiful I admitted. Poli sighed, "I was born here."
"It's a nice place."
"Thanks."
"Um…where's your parents?"
"Traveling most likely. They like too."
"That's cool. Why don't you travel with them?"
"Im not much of a traveler. I mean, I was in a team, but we decided to not. After all, we got into a lot of trouble."
"I see." I said, looking back at the lake.
"So…I need to teach you to battle."
"I guess."
"Since you're a ditto….you can transform into whatever Pokémon you want."
"Rea….Oh yeah." I said, stopping myself. I had to keep acting like I knew what I was doing.
"Since Water is stronger against Fire and Grass is weak to us…Change into a grass type."
"Um…I…kinda…"
"You forgot how to change?"
I nodded, "Yep. I don't remember much except whom I am and my name." I lied, corresponding to my last statement.
"Okay…hmm…change into a Lotad."
"Lotad?"
"Yes. Lotad knows some grass moves like Razor Leaf, but only if one of the parents know that move."
"Oh. Like…what was that word…"
"Inherit?"
"Yes. Inherit."
She nodded, She started to decide to me what Lotad looks like and their attacks. I nodded and closed my eyes, thinking myself as a Lotad. Suddenly, I became smaller. A lillypad formed on my back and I got 4 small little feet.
"Like this?" I asked after finishing.
She squealed, delighted with herself, "Yes! Good job!"
"And I suppose that's only half the battle?"
"We haven't begun to battle…" she tilted her head in confusing.
"Never mind... Let's begin."
She nodded in approval, getting into her battle stance, "Just because I don't know you doesn't mean I'm making this easy on you!"
I grinned, "Whatever."
She started, with new found knowledge, a water gun attack. It was weak, knowing she's testing out my defense. I easily blocked it with my lillpad on my back. I shot back with the same attack. She jumped out of the way before it hit her.
This went on for a bit, before she ran up to me and slapped me, hard. This was her double slap attack. Of course, she didn't double slap me…she slapped me five times!
She jumped back, grinning, but she gasped and tried to duck, but she failed. My razor leaf attack, that I was getting ready when she jumped back, got her. She groaned as she hit the ground, defeated.
I jumped, "Yay!"
She got up, smiling, "I think you're ready to go fight the water queen. We call her this. Without her, we wouldn't have a nice place to live."
"IF I need to fight her."
She nodded, "If."
I nodded, "Where do I go?"
She pointed behind me, "You need to travel up that way. It's gonna take a few days or so…, so you need to get supplies."
"Where do I get supplies?"
"There's a Guild a few miles west. We can reach their before dark, which is in an hour."
"Already?" I looked up; we had been training for a few hours!
"I can take you up there. You can get supplies and maybe form a team."
"Team?"
She nodded, "we don't travel alone around here."
"Why is that?"
"I…can't say…"
"That's fine..." 'Why won't she tell me? 'I thought.
"…I…need to ask…before we go.."
"Hm?" she was nervous, I could tell.
"Mind if…I join your team?"
"Sure!...even if I don't have a team yet."
She smiled, "We need to get that known in the Guild. Together, we could be a good team Vel!"
I nodded, a smile forming on my face. I changed back into my ditto form, "when shall we head out?"
"Now."
I nodded. "Lead the way."
She nodded, and together, we started our journey to the Guild.
