Hello All, CreationUnleashed has returned to bring you another chapter in this story, It really has been a while since I updated this story, but I am really liking the progress of this so far, I'm also getting much better at writing action scenes too, and that's good because when we get further into the story, the action scenes are going to be fast, like, Batman Arkham games fast so I'm going to need all the experience I can get, so if you all can recommend any fast-paced action stories that involve a lot of hand-to-hand combat that would really help increase my effectiveness for my action scenes, oh and I was looking through the PM`s and reviews, and yes, I'm probably going to change up the story a little so that it makes a little more sense, because well, I was a noob, but anyway, enough talk, let's get on with the show!

Italics: Thoughts

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When I emerged from the forest I was expecting her to beat the ever-living crap out of me, she probably could if she had wanted to, she WAS a Fighting-type, and at such a high level that I probably would have been reduced to mush in seconds flat

Same went with Highpoint back when I was part of a clan, if I had left the camp without his authorization, I wouldn't have food for the rest of the day, plus I would have had a personal beating from the boss himself

So when I returned and I saw her dash towards me, I dropped my kill and braced myself for impact

But what I got instead, was different

Instead of being kicked, smacked and knocked around, I was being squeezed to death by a deathly silent Mienshao

At first, I had no idea what was happening, but as I felt the tears drip onto my helmeted head, and saw her quivering lips, I finally understood

"She was…. Worried?"

I slowly wrapped my small arms around her in a clumsy hug, and we stood there, for a moment that felt like hours had gone by

Eventually she let go of me and proceeded to chastise me with tear filled eyes about scaring her and running off who knows where

I listened intently and for each minute that went by I felt worse and worse, I didn't know she was worried, I thought she didn't really care, I just thought she didn't want me to eat any meat because she was a herbivore and didn't agree with that

"Do you understand? Never run away like that ever again!" she finished with an intent stare

"… Yeah, okay" I spoke softly

"Good, now let's get back to the overhang, I want to check on your leg to see if you've strained it"

I grabbed the Seviper carcass and with some effort, threw it over my shoulder, I then followed her back to the overhang where I laid down and let her check my leg for any signs of physical stress

After about a couple minutes she finally said, "Your leg`s fine, I`m just surprised you didn't twist it again"

I shrugged and said casually, "I`m careful"

She looked at me with a glare and replied, "Not as careful as you should be if you decided to wonder through those woods"

I tilted my head and asked "Why?"

She looked at me and with a very serious voice said, "Because those woods have some seriously tough Pokémon living in there, I`ve even seen a Haxorus roaming around there"

That surprised me; Haxorus were powerful Pokémon, but finding one in the wild was just as unlikely as beating one in a battle, they were usually docile or even friendly, but when it or its territory was threatened, they could reduce a forest full of trees into a stump-filled wasteland, if there was a Haxorus in there, I REALLY didn`t want to upset it

"How did you get the Seviper anyway?" she asked as I got up from the bedding

"Well, I was originally going to get a Dodrio egg, but this guy here thought it was a good idea to try to eat someone covered in blades" I nudged his head with my foot a little to emphasize

"Hmmm" she responded, looking at the serpent`s open mouth and panicked expression

I grabbed the carcass, walked to the edge of the forest and proceeded to clean the Seviper, leaving its entrails, skin, fangs and etc, in a bloody heap in a random bush

"So uh, do you have any flint stones?" I asked when I returned to the overhang with the cleaned Seviper

"Yes, they're just over there" she pointed towards a small basked filled with assorted tools

"Thanks" I said as I ran over to a small clearing, my blades struggling to hold onto the small stone

I made a small pile of branches, pinecones, that sort, then I balanced the stone on the ground while using my left blade to keep it upright, I then scraped my right blade across the stone, sending a small shower of sparks that ignited the pile of branches and twigs

I took some branches and with some help from the Mienshao, stuck them into the ground, where they served to support the Seviper as I began to rotisserie grill him, using a random knife sheath I found in the basket as a handle (because I don't have fingers)

When it was finished, I happily dug in and savored each bite, the meat was chewy and tasted like a combination of chicken and pork, as I was eating I noticed the Mienshao walk over to the right of me and sit down with a bowl filled with berries which she picked one by one with grace, as if they were fragile, at this point the sun was beginning to set, and the horizon glowed orange, light blue and red

She looked over at me and finally decided to speak

"So I`ve known you for what? About three week's right?"

"Three weeks, and a day" I responded while chewing

"Okay, I`ve known you for Three weeks and a day, and I still don`t even know your name"

"Switchblade, my name is Switchblade"

"Well, that's certainly an unusual name"

"Pawniard get named for something they do when they're younger, like me, I got named Switchblade when I used to use a little arm action to extend my blades, just to make it seem cooler, what about you? Are you named like us?"

"No, not exactly, our names are chosen for us by our parents before or when we`re born, my parents named me Masami"

"Alright then… Masami, what else do you want to talk about?"

"How did you end up here?"

"Well, that`s kind of a long story"

"We have all night to listen to it"

"Fine, it all began about 3 or 4 weeks back…"

I explained my story, with every detail, the Lucario, my clan, Roller, and even the other Pawniard and the Emboar, as I explained, she listened intently, and on some parts she would tear up a little and then wipe her face a little and continue listening, when I finished I sat back down and resumed eating, we didn't speak to each other for a few moments, then eventually she spoke again

"I was raised by a Pokémon trainer and my parents, I went on many adventures and saw many sights, but one day, my trainer just, stopped, he released all of us, and told us to be free, and so at that point I was strong enough to survive on my own, so I found a nice peaceful place to live, and made my home here" she picked up another berry and popped it in her mouth

"… So when are we going to spar?"

"In the morning, right now, we both need our rest" she looked at me and smiled

I quickened my pace, and soon after I finished my meal, then I lay back on the grass, and slowly I drifted off into a peaceful sleep

Awwwwww, Masami`s like his mommy, now that is adorable, well I personally need some opinions from my readers on how she`s going to train Switchblade, but here are some conditions you all have to meet, it has to be tough, it can`t be a midafternoon stroll, these are FIGHTING-types they are tough, and it has to be in one of these three categories, Speed, Attack, Defense, and HP if you manage to find one that includes all three, then by all means, please share!
