I have been pondering this chapter all day to think about what is going to happen. A bit of news, Friday releases will either be really late or they just won't happen, I may make Friday my break days, this is due to the face that I work until midnight on Fridays and that is if they let me out on time.
We left off with Colt being defeated and captured by the trainer Kyle aka Oddball
I woke up and felt very well rested, I was still in the dark space from earlier but all of my injuries had disappeared. I then remembered what happened to me, I decided to train with a trainer that saved my life from a Zoroark, now named Red, and he caught me. I was inside a pokeball, a dusk ball to be more specific. I was furious, if I ever got out of here I would slice that trainer's head off. As if Arceus was answering my prayer a red light engulfed my body, when the light faded I was back in the real world. I looked around to get a view of my surroundings, I was in a store, then I saw him. I charged at Odd full force, baring my fangs. He stood there with the same cocky grin he had right before capturing me. When I got close to the trainer he held one of his hands out and I heard a soft click. I looked down to see that his hand grasp a black ring that was now latched around my neck. "This, my friend, is a Pokemon obedience collar" he said with a smug tone, "Now, if I were you, I wouldn't try that again." I didn't care what this collar was or what it did, I could only focus on one thing, vengeance. I swiped my claws at his face and he easily avoided it. "Now what did I tell you" he said with a grin, "Now it looks like you will have to be punished" as he said that he pushed the button on a small black remote he held in his other hand, I was instantly rendered immobile and all I could do was stare at him, the hatred flaring in my eyes. I knew I shouldn't trust anyone and I was right, and now I was paying the price for it.
A few minutes went by before I could move again, "Now, be a good doggie and sit down" Oddball said to me, I growled at him for this and he held up the little remote in protest. "SIT" he told me firmly, I grumbled and sat down, "See, as long as you do what I say we can get along fine.Now for what I wanted to talk to you about, I think that Colt it too human of a name for a pet like you" I saw where he was going with this conversation, "I think I will call you… Moon, for now on" he said smiling, impressed with his own choice of a name. "You can be a great Pokemon Moon, you use moves erratically with little strategy, but I can fix that. I am a great trainer and battler so with me in control you will do great things. Now get some rest for the night, we have a big day tomorrow." With that he clicked the button on one of his pokeballs and I was hit with a red beam of light, when the light faded I didn't find myself in the same dark, gloomy place as I was previously, instead it was bright and looked like I was in the sky. A small bed that was made for Pokemon such as mightyena and houndoom was placed in the room, it was obviously for canine Pokemon but I felt it was demoralizing and I refused to use it, but as I was a nocturnal Pokemon and it seemed like it was daytime I soon found myself curled in a ball on the dog bed, fast asleep. That night I had a dream about dying in a Pokemon battle with this lunatic as my trainer, the dream snapped me out of my sleep as the artificial sun had started to set, I was now wide awake. I got out of the bed and was about to see if there was anything else new about the room I had, but as I started to look around, an all too familiar red light left me standing in the real world. I was greeted with the smiling faces of my party members and they were each digging into a bowl of pokefood, all but Red who did not appear to be in the room. A black bowl of pokefood was.placed in front of me. "Now, enjoy your food moon" Odd told me with a smile. I didn't suppose I had much of a choice so I picked up one of the bits of food and bit it in half.
The flavor was unlike anything I could imagine, I had tried some of the dry food we got for eevee a few years ago, but it tasted nothing like this. I finished the piece in my claws and picked up another. I wanted so badly to shove my face into the bowl, but I had to restrain myself or it would look like Oddball won. So I continued eating, piece by piece of the food. "I hope you liked the food, it was fried ducklett flavor" Odd told me, I stood up and walked away from the table without giving much of a response. I was greeted with Red when I walked a few feet into the woods near the campsite. I noticed that he was wearing the same black collar I had on. "He got you to, huh" I asked the fox Pokemon, "Yeah, surprised me with it after letting me out of his portable prison" the fox said, I guess we now know what the fox says. We both stood there in silence for a few minutes until Oddball met with us in the woods. "We are going to challenge the local gym today, if you both work with me and we win, I will take the collars off… deal?" Red and I looked at each other, then looked back at Odd and nodded in agreement. With that we were off, Oddball let Red and myself walk with him outside of our pokeballs all the way to the gym. The gyms were different from how they were represented in the games and anime. You would still fight a leader and get a badge of completion but you did not need the badges to enter the league, you just needed to show up, it was a yearly competition that anyone could join. Gyms also live streamed each battle so that challengers that won would be known in their community, if they lost it was understood because gyms were tough to beat.
We arrived at the local gym, which just so happened to be a water type gym, ironic considering it was in central Texas. Each person was only allowed to use two Pokemon and it was a double battle. Now I could see why we were allowed out of the pokeballs, Odd already knew that it would be a double battle, and he was ready for it. The cameras were set up and the battle started, the gym leader sent out a Blastoise and Feraligatr, I was worried being a rock type against two strong water types. The referee started the battle and we were allowed to go first. "Moon stealth rock, Red use tackle" Oddball commanded, I summoned invisible boulders around the field and Red threw himself at the Blastoise full force. "Blastoise use skull bash, Feraligatr aqua tail" the gym leader commanded. As Red reaches the Blastoise the giant turtle rammed the fox with everything he had, when Red went flying he was then hit with an aqua tail at full force, he afterwards ran into one of the boulders that I had placed around the ring. Red fell to the ground in a daze and was out of the battle. "That was fast" I thought to myself, then I looked Al at the two beast of water types and was feeling much more frightened.
"Kyle the challenger is left with one Pokemon" the referee said. "Darrian get over here and watch this noon battle the local gym" Mari yelled out. "Ok I'm coming" Darrian replied as he took a seat next to Mari. "This Kyle guy just got his Zoroark knocked out on the first turn, and he picked a rock type for his second Pokemon, did he do any research on the gym" Mari said aloud, "What is his second Pokemon anyways?" Darrian asked, "It's a lycanroc wearing a black and red hoodie" Mari replied, "Who lets their Pokemon wear clothes during a gym battle anyways?" Mar asked, "Mari… did you just say his other Pokemon is a lycanroc wearing a black and red hoodie" Darrian asked, "Yeah, why" Mari replied, "We know a lycanroc that wears a black and red hoodie" Darrian replied. "We do?" Mari asked, you could see the gears turning in her head as she realized what Darrian meant. "COLT"
