To my readers, I'm taking a break for a few days so please don't worry and thank you Pikachucat for the reviews.
Maverick's Past and New Job
I was walking down a lane and walked into a park to sit on a bench. I did nothing but thinking about Alice ("She's was in love with me when I was a Ralts. But I didn't know her; unless she was that wimpy Ralts from my childhood.")
Flashback 11 ½ years earlier
I was a level 5 Ralts who was 4 and ½ years old and in a park with my mom and my dad was with his Ghost-type companions in order to keep our family dark secret hidden. I was playing in the sand; making skulls, tombstones, skeletons, and a cemetery out of sand. I admit those look weird to other but it was normal for me. I heard a cry for help and saw a Ralts being bullied by an Abra, a Solosis and a Chingling. I look to my surroundings to see if the other mothers are watching but there to busy having long and annoying conversations. I moaned by the other mothers actions, so I did the right thing by saving her even if I didn't want to.
The Ralts was being teased and the bullying pokémon laughed at her. "Aww, did baby Alice got sand in her eyes." Said the Abra. "Let's pull on her horn!" said the Solosis. "Let's make her eat mud!" said the Chingling. "Let's knock you dorks out!" They turned and saw a Ralts with a green eye. The Abra smirked. "Oh, so you think you can beat all of us? You're outnumbered, it's 3 against 1." "True but I can outsmart you nimrods." They went around me. "Get him!" My shadow moved under Abra and struck her and knocked her out. The Ralts, Solosis and Chingling were surprised. "What was that?" "That was Shadow Sneak. A ghost-type move that allows my shadow to attack my opponents from behind." I'd manage to collected dark energy and formed it into a sphere and fired at Solosis. The Ralts was stunned by my moves. "That was Shadow Ball." I'd turned to Chingling and gave the creepiest smile while my left eye glowed. The Chingling freaked out and Teleport out of here. I was disappointed by the Chingling. "What a coward!" I'd turned to the Ralts on the ground. "Here, grab my hand." She grabbed my hand and I pulled her up from the ground. "Hey! Why didn't you fight back?" She lowered her head. "I'm afraid of fighting." I'd looked confused. "Huh?" "My level is 3 and all I know is Growl." "I see… Well my mom had some TMs (Author's note: Technical Machines, I mean come on, everybody knows that.) that can help you know some new moves and maybe a Rare Candy can raise your level a bit." She stared at me with hope. "Really?" "Yeah, now follow me." I grabbed her arm and brought her to my mom. My mom saw me and another Ralts coming up to her. "What's the matter, Soul?" ("His name is Soul." Alice though "He has a cool name.") "My friend uh…, what's-her-name?" "My name is Alice." "Alice needs a TM and a Rare Candy to help her in battles." "Aww, you're doing the right thing. I have just the thing. She grabbed her purse, search though it and pulled out TM30 (Shadow Ball), TM24 (Thunderbolt) and a Rare Candy. "Here you go; two TMs and a Rare Candy to help you." Alice bowed her head. "Thank you so much." "Oh look at the time." My mom looked at her watch. "It's time to go Soul." I nodded and turned to Alice. "Goodbye Miss Alice, maybe we'll meet again." I'd bowed to her and she kissed me on the cheek. I'd panicked by her actions. "What was that?" Alice shivered and ran away. "What was that? I wonder if mom knows."
"Oh man, she still has a crush on me after all those years." I'd stared at the sky and try to think of an idea. ("If I reveal myself to her; her family will turn me in to my kind and kill me. But if I don't reveal myself to her; she will live her life in suffering and fear.") I'd sighed by my thoughts and found a rip-up stuff pokédoll of a Riolu. I grabbed it. I normally didn't care for it but I had bad memory of my past with my family when we got Dragoon. Mom and Dad force me to learn how to sew after a lot of drapes and blankets were ripped to shreds by her claws and though my torture, I'd keep some thread and needle in my bag. I'd patched up the doll in less than 2 minutes and tested to see my work. "Hey! That's my sister's doll!" I looked and saw two Lucario and one of them saw holding little Riolu in its arms. "I apologize, but I was fixing this doll." The Lucario didn't care and swipe it from my hands. "Zack, that wasn't nice." "But Mom…" "No buts, now say "You're sorry." Zack didn't look at me. "Sorry." I smirked. "It's all right; I thought the doll was abandoned by a careless pokémon." "Hey now, listen up!" "Zack!" his mom yelled at him. He moaned. "Excuse me, mister?" "Ironmind, Maverick Ironmind." "Mr. Ironmind, your sewing skills are astounding. My daughter's doll has never looked so beautiful." I blushed by her complement. "Thank you, Mrs.…" "Willpower, Lucy Willpower." "Mr. Ironmind, I own a company that makes dolls for children. I would like to hire you as a worker for my company." I looked surprised/embarrassed while Zack looked shock. "What?" We said at the same time. "Yes, I would like you to work for me." I was thinking; ("If I work for her; her son would be angry and annoyed just by being there.") I smiled like a devil while imaginary horns appeared on my head. "O.K. Mrs. Willpower, I would be happy to work for you." Zack got his knees with a face of despaired. "Now here you go Mr. Ironmind." She gave me a bag full of cotton, cloth and instructions. "Your 1st assignment; make at least 5 dolls in 3 days." "Yes sir, boss." "Good and here's the address to my company." She gave me a card of her company. "Good day and can you tell me you tell me you're little girl's name?" "Her name is Sunny." "That's a lovey name, goodbye Boss, Sunny and Zacky." Lucy and Sunny snickered a little but Zack's face turned red. "IT'S ZACK!"
I'd walked up the road that was leading to my house. When I was walking, I saw a shady group of pokémon, A Houndoom, A Haunter and A wanted Grumpig that I unfortunately meet in Hoenn when I was a Kirlia. I'd been capture by him and his gang but I fought back and torture him and his gang by slowly roasting them around a fire. I'd past him, (Hmmm… Looks like he doesn't remember me, I wonder what's his plan?) I'd opened the gate and Dragoon ran up to me. I petted her and tossed a large piece of meat (Author's Note: Don't say I have cannibal pokémon in my story, I mean not all pokémon are Vegetarians) to Dragoon as her dinner. I got in the house "I'm home!" No one answer and I saw a note on the table. It said "Maverick, We're very sorry for leaving you home alone, but your aunt is sick. We brought Sam with us to help us. We called the school to inform them that Sam won't be coming. Please don't worry; we'll be back in 2 ½ weeks. Love Mom, Dad, and Sam. P.S. Please don't bring Dragoon to destroy the house." I snickered (Sam only went with them in order to get out of taking care of Dragoon. When he comes back, I'll bring Dragoon to his room when he's sleeping.)
I'd already finished in making the 5 pokédolls in an hour and was eating curry. It was only 8 pm and I was bored. I watched a little TV to entertain myself when I notice a bright light engulf the living room. The light was coming from the window; I looked out the window and saw the house in front of mine on fire.
I hope you like it and sorry if the chapter was short. Please leave a review, have a nice summer.
