Welcome! Welcome all to another chapter of I Remain Alone by CreationUnleashed! Now I have no idea whatsoever on what you're thinking, because I'm not a Psychic-type, but I do know that you probably have been looking forward to this part because of its importance in the life of this young Pawniard here known as Switchblade, but instead of going with my original idea, which was to **** *** ******** ***** *** **** ******** I`ve decided that Masami was… a bit too large to properly train him, now keep in mind, she will still be training him, but she's going to have… shall we say… a "little" assistance, but anyway, ENOUGH SPOILERS! It's time to start with the show! So R&R and enjoy our feature presentation, Enjoy!

"Where am I?"
I was walking on darkness, solid darkness; I could see myself against the pitch-black world that I was wandering around in, there was nothing, nothing but me, and the blackness
"What is this place?"
As I continued walking I managed to spot someone, someone familiar
When I got closer I finally saw who it was, my friend and brother, Knifedge, and right beside him was my father and our leader, Highpoint, they were staring straight ahead at the endless darkness, fixated on it, completely oblivious to my presence
"Guys! Hey Boss! Over here! Knifedge, Highpoint over here!" I waved and yelled, as I ran toward them desperately trying to get their attention in somehow
Finally, as I neared them, Knifedge and Highpoint turned and looked at me, their eyes and voice depraved of feeling and with a unanimous voice not belonging to either, spoke: "We`ve been waiting for you Switchblade"
I slowly stopped running towards them and stopped where I was, and I could only look in horror, as I noticed one crucial difference between my father and my brother, that those "things" didn't have
They both possessed eyes
I peered into the empty eye sockets of the things that were once my father and my brother, the feeling of horror and fear growing
Suddenly, I returned to the moment I had witnessed their deaths
I again witnessed my father, desperately trying to get close enough to one of the Lucario, before an explosion sent him back first into the dirt, a chunk of his abdomen was gone, over flowing with his blood, his mouth was stained red, his head blade, once large and proud, was shattered, pieces of it scattered across the field, his body covered in cracks and dents that trickled his essence, he moaned helplessly and tried to reach out to grasp anything, anything at all, but his eyes became voids, and his arm fell to the earth
I looked back to the last Pawniard standing, Knifedge, he tried running towards me, but a Lucario put its palm on his back, he looked at me, fear evident in his eyes, then, the explosion, his torso was ripped in two, and, in an instant, his fearful stare was drained away into the abyss, as his eyes rolled back into their sockets, his corpse flew forward and landed about a foot from where I stood, his organs bleeding endlessly and his white eyes crying blood
I slumped to the ground as the darkness returned, and the background faded and I was left crying over the bodies of those that were held dearest to me, as the darkness slowly began to envelop me, and the unanimous voice echoed through the darkness, "Why?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I woke up with a panicked cry, and jumped to my feet, blades fully extended and ready
I was panting, and sweating, and shaking, my eyes franticly sweeping the area around me as I took notice of my surroundings
"It was… it was just a dream" I sighed as I began to calm down
I was back under the overhang, standing just in next to the mess of sticks and leaves that I was sleeping in, Masami was nowhere to be seen, and the light of dawn had just flooded the hillside in a golden light
I rubbed my eyes tiredly and walked outside in the direction of a small river not too far inside the forest
As I approached the river I kept in mind that powerful Pokémon resided in the area, and I quietly splashed water onto my face to help wake me up, every now and then stopping and scanning the area for any possible threats
When I came out of the forest and got close enough to the overhang I spotted Masami, but she wasn`t alone, she was talking to a strange and much smaller white and blue bipedal Pokémon, and whatever they were talking about must have had something to do with me, because when they took notice of my arrival, they immediately stopped talking and looked at me
"Where have you been?" Masami asked
"In the forest, I went to get a drink, who, is HE?" I said, eyeing the newcomer warily
The Pokémon exhaled and then spoke calmly, "I, am going to be the one training you until you evolve"
I stared at the smaller Pokémon for a few moments before looking back at Masami "You're kidding me right?"
She sighed, and pinched her nose, quite aware of my disapproval, "Look, it's obvious that you`re smaller size is going to be a big difficulty if I trained you like this, so I got someone who can help you train until you evolve, then me and a friend of mine will help you train when you're closer to our size, alright?"
I couldn`t believe this! I thought I was being trained by a top-notch Fighting-type! Not some white and blue Aipom!
"For your information, I AM a Fighting-type, and I'm not an Aipom, I`m a Meditite, there`s a difference"
I looked back at the Meditite, shocked
"How did you…"
"Read your mind? It`s obvious you have never encountered a Psychic-type before"
"So you can really read minds? Okay then, tell me what I'm thinking right now!" I said, glaring at the now floating Pokémon
"… That was uncalled for"
"Oh really? Because if you think you can expect me to just accept you as my boss without a doubt, then you`re really not smart at all" I said, leering
The Pokémon closed its eyes and inhaled slowly and then exhaled slowly, then it opened its eyes "Very well then, if you think that you have nothing to learn from me, than I suppose that you`d be able to beat me in a battle"
I stepped forward threateningly "Anytime, Anyplace"
At this point Masami was watching me and the Meditite from a distance, she didn't appear to mind the fact that I was threatening the person that was supposed to be training me, in fact, it was like she didn`t even care
The Meditite closed his eyes and when he re-opened them, spoke, "Very well, then let`s have a battle right here and now, Attack me!"
I obliged
I charged forward and extended my blades, preparing them for a Metal Claw, meanwhile the Meditite closed its eyes and began to glow a rainbow colored glow
"You're dead!" I yelled as I slashed downwards, there was no way I was going to miss this sitting fool
If I hadn't had fought him, I would've still had some pride
As soon as my blade was about to slice his arm off, faster than I could see, he grabbed my arm, and completely halted the attack, he then opened his eyes to look me in mine
"This is your first lesson: NEVER underestimate your opponent" and with that he got to his feet, and before I could react he slammed my head blade into a nearby tree trunk, and walked away
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" I was pissed; he completely humiliated me in front of Masami, and when I got myself free, I probably wasn't going to hear the end of it
"I`ll be back, to have a nice, long, talk with you after I get a berry to eat" he spoke casually, not even looking back at my struggling form
"DAMN YOU TO THE DISTORTION WORLD AND BACK YOU FLOATING BASTARD!"
"Dark-types…" he muttered as he walked towards the forest, leaving me stuck in a humiliating state, and all the while, a purple and white ferret was dying from laughter

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, sometimes I get a couple laughs just by thinking about the story *wipes away tear* Whoo Boy, anyway, so I put the Medicham in because, well, let's face it if a tall person tried to train a midget it would not turn out very well now would it? So anyway, I'm going to need some name recommendations because, I'm not exactly good with making up names for characters, I used some Japanese names that I thought sounded good, but seriously, this needs some actual creativity, so I'll let you decide, yes that's right you, no not you, YOU! In the back! There we go, yes YOU, if you want to help with the story, you can send me a name that I might be able to use for a character as the story progresses, but for now let's start with the name of that Meditite that pwned poor Switchblade, anyway, don't forget to PM me, or to Review this story, this is CreationUnleashed signing out!
