Chapter Four: The trainer from Pallet Town
The sun shined brightly in the clear blue sky. Not a single cloud to be seen. Some flying pokemon could be seen soaring through the opened air. The forest below seemed to be at peace at the moment, with some local pokemon either waking up or already going on with their day. Truly it was indeed a nice day for the world of Pokemon.
The focus today though, was not on these things that could be seen. Instead, the focus is on a small camp in the middle of a clearing in the forest. Two tents could be seen as the four travelers in them were waking up.
One of these four, who was slowly opening his eyes as he woke up, had black raven hair, somewhat of a tan skin-tone, as well as having two little Z's on his cheeks. He was currently in his normal sleeping attire at the moment. Another thing about him were the brown colored eyes that he had.
The black haired male let out a yawn as he stretched his arms over his head. Rubbing his eyes afterwards, he looked around in the tent to see no one else in.
"Guess they're already up." The boy stated as he got up from his sleeping bag and proceeded to head out of the tent.
This was Ash Ketchum, an aspiring Pokemon Master from Pallet Town located in the Kanto Region. Along with his trust Pikachu, he travels the world in hope to become a better and stronger trainer. Along with him on his current journey was the young but energetic Bonnie, A inventor/gym leader named Clemont, and last but not least a blonde female by the name of Serena, a Pokemon Performer.
The Trainer exited the tent to see his friends as well as Pikachu already up and running, with Clemont preparing breakfast for them all. Pikachu, hearing his trainer/friend, turn to see the black haired teen awake, letting out a happy "Pika!" as the small pokemon ran up his shoulder, getting Ash to chuckle.
"Hey buddy. Sleep well I hope?" Ash asked his partner, who replied with another "Pika!" in agreement.
"Hey Ash!" Ash turned to see Serena greeting him as she helped finish preparing for Breakfast for them to eat, "Slept good I hope?" The blonde asked the black haired male, who smiled widely at her.
"Yep! Slept like a baby pokemon." He replied back to her, getting her to smile at his comparison.
"Come on guys," Clemont called out to them, getting them all to notice that he was finish making them Breakfast, "Breafast is ready to eat!"
"Yay!" Bonnie jumped in happiness at that was she bolted to the table after finishing combing Dedenne, "I'm starving! Right Dedenne?" The small blonde girl asked the small orange pokemon, who shouted out his name in agreement.
"Let's not forget everyone else." Ash reminded the others as he grabbed all of his pokeballs, with Serena and Clemont following suit.
"Come on out everyone!" Serena exclaimed happily as she, Ash, and Clemont released all of their pokemon from their pokeballs.
After that was done, and informing them of breakfast, the group proceeded to eat.
'LATER'
Some time had passed since that happened, as the group was now traveling back on the road in hope to reach a town or city. With Ash having all of his gym badges, the time had come to return to Luimose City and prepare for the Kalos League that was going to take place soon.
Luckily for the traveling group, after going over a hill, they could spot a town down below not far from them.
"Look guys! I see the town!" Ash told them with a large smile, happy that they could find a town, which meant they could go to a Pokemon Center so they and their pokemon could rest properly this night.
"It's looks pretty peaceful." Serena commented on it as she saw the town.
"Well come on guys! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Bonnie shouted with excitement as she bolted down the hill.
"Wait up Bonnie!" Ash exclaimed with a smile present as he ran down the hill to. Seeing the black haired male so excited got Serena to giggle for a moment before she too ran after them.
"Hang on guys, I can't run that fast like you all!" Clemont shouted as he ran after them, albeit a bit behind like he usually is.
It didn't take long to arrive inside the town themselves. People and pokemon were going on with their everyday lives like usual. Seeing another place they haven't been to before got Bonnie and Ash to look around in excitement.
"What do you think this place has to offer?" Ash asked the others, hoping that this town had something excited for them all to do. Or have good places for them to eat at. Or better yet, a place that will let him battle with other trainers and pokemon.
"We can look around once we check in the Pokemon Center." Clemont told the tohers, getting them to nod in agreement. So the group of four, if you don't count the pokemon, then headed to where the Pokemon Center was located.
It didn't take them long to locate the building. However, they all got confused when they noticed the rather large crowd right outside the building.
"What's going on here?" Serena questioned. Why were there so many people around the Pokemon Center?
"I don't know, let's go find out." Clemont suggested to them all.
"Right." Ash agreed with the inventor, as they all headed to the crowd. As they got closer, they could hear people muttering to one another.
"Who is that guy?" One person questioned to another next to him.
"I don't know, but he looks scary." The other person replied to the guy who asked her.
"I don't know I think he looks pretty cool." Another spoke.
Their confusion increasing by what they were hearing, the four managed to get through the crowd to get in front of them to see what they were all looking at.
Inside the Pokemon Center in the lounge at a table, they saw what got everyone here to be looking at and curious about. Sitting down at a table, they saw a rather intimidating dark purple skinned person, wearing the oddest clothing they have ever seen. If you asked them, it kind of look like armor more than anything. Some of the guy's chest was exposed though, allowing them to see the rather weird red colored tattoos on him. He also had somewhat long white hair. Though, and they couldn't tell of they were imagining this or not, but the guy had horns coming out of his head, as well as him having long pointy ears. Most of his head was covered by what looked like a helmet, covering most of his face, so they didn't know what he looked like underneath. Another thing that he wielded was the two massive glaives he had on his back. This unusual fellow didn't seem to be paying attention to the people looking at him from afar as his eyes seemed to be closed as well as having his arms crossed.
Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie couldn't help but be curious like the rest of the people around them.
"Who is that guy?" Ash asked, as he never saw someone like that before, and he has seen many types of people and pokemon in his travels.
"I don't know, though he looks a bit creepy." Serena admitted, as they continued to look at the weird man.
"I have to agree with you there Serena." Clemont told the Pokemon Performer, thinking that the guy they were looking at did seem to be a bit intimidating looking. Bonnie was more interested than anything else to tell the truth.
"Let's go talk to him then!" Bonnie suggested to the four.
Before Ash, Serena, or Clemont could respond to the small girl's suggestion, Bonnie immediately headed into the building and was heading right toward the guy, getting the rest of the crowd to be surprised by the girl's bold move, as well as giving Clemont a heart attack.
"Wait Bonnie no!" The Inventor shouted in worry as he ran after her, with Ash and Serena following suit.
It only took a moment for the young blonde girl to arrive at the guy's table, who didn't seem to notice her, at least that's what Bonnie assumed.
"What do you want little girl?" The man spoke without his eyes opening or without him moving at all, proving Bonnie's assumption wrong. However she wasn't bothered by it, since she now knows that the guy is aware of her presence.
"Uh, hello there mister," Bonnie started to speak to him, "I wanted to ask you about all of that stuff you're wearing. Is it a costume?" She asked him, getting him to let out a grunt of annoyance.
"Hmph! No little girl this isn't a costume. This is my armor and my blades." He informed her, which only confused her.
"What about the purple skin, pointy ears, and horns then?" Bonnie asked him another question. Before he could reply to her though…
"Bonnie!" Clemont exclaimed as he went over to her and pulled her away from the man, "Don't go talking to strangers like that!" He scolded.
"Oh come on! I was just curious about the dude!" Bonnie talked back to her older brother.
This of course resulted in the two siblings bickering with one another. Ash and Serena couldn't help but sweat drop at the sight of them. Ash then turned to look at the armored being.
"We're sorry about that. She sometimes gets carried away." Ash informed the man, who only let out another grunt.
"It's fine. Now you can leave me be now." He told them with a voice that showed he wasn't going to put up with any games.
Ash frowned by the man's choice of words, though he didn't say anything else as he and Serena went over to the two blonde siblings, who seemed to cease their bickering. However before they could go on their way to rent a room…
"Hello there." A deep-like voice suddenly was heard behind Ash.
"GAH!" The sudden voice caught Ash as well as the others off guard as they now saw a new person appear from nowhere. This got the crowd from outside to be surprised by this new person seemly appearing from thin air.
The appearance of the guy was a bit hard to tell, since he was wearing clothing, or armor, that covered mostly everything, including his head. However his knees as well as his elbows could be seen, but what was surprising as well as a bit terrifying was the fact that they were only bones. A bit of his spine could be seen sticking out of his back from the armor, and he seemed to be a bit of a hunchback as well. Two giant weird looking swords were seen on his waists.
"Who are you supposed to be?" The weird newcomer asked the black haired teen as well as the other three behind them.
"Who cares? They're not important at the moment Dragneal." The dark purple skinned man spoke up, opening his eyes as he stared at the other, whose name was revealed to be Dragneal.
"Lighten up Revelar, besides being hostile to everyone isn't a good idea, especially when we are in unfamiliar territory." Dragneal reminded Revelar. This got the others to be confused.
"Oh, are you two not from Kalos?" Serena asked the two, despite feeling a bit scared by their appearances.
This got the two to be confused as they stared at the blonde woman.
"Kalos?" Revelar questioned.
"Is this what this land is called?" Dragneal asked her while walking over to her, getting her to feel a bit intimidated by this guy being closed to her. Seeing Serena uncomfortable by the guy's closeness near her, Ash was about to speak up but Serena beat him to the punch.
"Uh yeah. You're in the Kalos Region." She answered him, getting him to back up from her to think, to which both Serena and Ash were grateful that he did that.
"Kalos huh?" Dragneal stated as he and Revelar thought to themselves for a moment. Dragneal then spoke up once more, "Do any of you may know someone who may help us? We're not from here if it wasn't obvious enough, and we don't really know where to go." He asked them. Revelar stared at his ally in disbelief.
"You're asking mere children to help us?" Revelar asked the Rogue, who turned to look back at the Demon Hunter.
"Look Revelar, we're in a bind at the moment so we'll need all the help that we can get. And if children are needed to help us, then so be it." Dragneal replied back to the other, who merely grunted in annoyance, still thinking it was a stupid idea.
Seeing the two talking to one another, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie looked at each other before silently agreeing to help them out. Knowing these four, they would do anything to help out anyone who needed it.
"Well," Ash started to speak, getting the two's attention. "My friends and I are currently traveling to Luimose City. If you stick with us, we can take you to Professor Sycamore. I bet he can better help you all out."
Dragneal and Revelar looked at each other before nodding in agreement. Even if Revelar didn't like the idea of mere kids helping them, he couldn't deny that it was all they had at the moment. The Rogue then looked back at the four before him as he gave them a thumbs up.
"Alright, you got yourselves a deal." Dragneal accepted.
Alright, there we all go. What did you all think? Like it? Hate it? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
