The Two Fire Brothers.
A Pokémon fanfic.
Chapter 1:
Leon Meets Skitty Res.
His paws pounded the floor. His blood sang in his ears. (A/N: I'm talking about in the veins of his ears. Not outside his ears. Just checking. ) His tail flicked from side to side. Leon grinned; the chase was on. His forehead flame had long gone out. (A/N: No, for heaven's sakes, he's NOT the living dead! Katfyre don't need their flames to survive! Abused Katfyre's forehead flames go out.) Now he was as old as Josh had been when it had happened, he reflected. As the Rattata slowed down, panting, Leon, not tired at all, pinned the purple mouse Pokémon down with his claws, who shouted "Help me, Cynthia!" (A/N: The Rattata shouted that, not Leon's claws.) Cynthia, Leon mused silently. She must be a Raticate. So what a shock he got when a pretty female Katfyre wearing a Rainbow Scale around her neck padded out of the bushes and addressed the Rattata. "I see you've been hunted down, Nemo." "Ha, ha," The Rattata, Nemo, was it? Yes, Nemo, moaned "Now get me outta here before this Katfyre skins me alive!" Leon stared, his jaw hanging open, at Cynthia. Anyone could see he was head-over-heels in love. Cynthia smiled. Leon gasped. There were lots of female Katfyre in the forest, but none as pretty as the one standing before him. Leon finally found his tongue. "C-Cynthia is a p-pretty name." He stuttered. A Totodile emerged from the bushes, chuckling. "Looks like you've got another admirer, Cynth." He remarked, addressing Cynthia. The female Katfyre gave the Totodile a shove. "Oh, for heaven's sakes, Mutuk, behave yourself!" She mewed in an amused voice. Leon blinked. Another admirer? He asked himself. Does that mean I'm not the only one in love with her? Then he noticed Nemo, the Rattata, staring at Cynthia blankly, and guessed (A/N: Quite correctly, I might add.) that the Purple Mouse Pokemon was in love with her too. The leaves rustled on the trees as Leon was pondering about this. Then a Zangoose jumped down, his razor-sharp claws just missing Nemo's ear. "My name's Sebastion." The Zangoose bobbed his head and reached out a forepaw, where the claws were non-withdrawable. Leon eyed the saber-like talons cautiously. "Oh, sorry, I keep on forgetting I'm not a Zangy anymore." Sebastion apologized, withdrawing his paw. (A/N: That's a sneak-peek for my new story The Way Of The True Hero, which involves the new species Zangy, the pre-evolution of Zangoose.) Finally, Nemo remembered he was now free, and quickly scampered onto Cynthia's shoulder. "Hey, Mutuk and Nemo? Could you go back to base, please? And get dinner ready?" Cynthia asked, smiling sweetly. Grumbling, Mutuk and Nemo padded off, muttering something about Skitty Res, Oran berries and supper. "What's Skitty Res?" Leon asked curiously, flicking his tail at a leaf. "Oh my Arceus, you don't know about Skitty Res!?" Sebastion screeched in amazement. Leon shook his head, looking confused. "No." Sebastion gave Leon a look, then started a very thorough story about how many members Skitty Res had, what happened during Skitty Res' journey, how Skitty Res came to be, that they were Diamond rank and who Skitty Res detested, which included Team Dragon, unsurprisingly enough. Leon asked "Where is the leader of Skitty Res? Cos I'd like to help." Cynthia smirked. "You're looking at her." Leon gave a guilty start, realizing he'd gave away he hadn't been paying all that much attention to Sebastion's story. He flipped around, and sure enough, Sebastion was shooting daggers at him. (A/N: With his eyes, people, with his eyes. Not real daggers. Just checking. Some people can be so dumb. God, I feel like Bartimaeus and his footnotes. o_0;) Leon bobbed his head at Sebastion in apology, all the while thinking Great Arceus, Cynthia's the leader of Skitty Res! "Oh, yeah," Cynthia frowned, her voice breaking into Leon's thoughts. "Are you level 29 yet? And do you have any intentions of going to Luminous Spring? If so, hurry. We must go, and soon." Leon shook his head, then dashed off to prepare himself; the rebellion against Team Dragon had begun.
