Hey guys!!!! Back with chapter 2! I know I said I wont make another chapter unless someone wanted me to but I felt like I shouldn't leave a story without any other chapters, so I made a second one!! I hope you all enjoy and remember don't be too harsh on me since this is my first story. Well without further ado I hope you all enjoy!!!!!
We Followed the scream only to witness a very horrible sight...a trainer beating up its riolu. "Hey stop that you jerk!!!" I yelled. "Why don't you fuck off and mind your own business?!" He yelled back. "Oh thats it." I ran up next to him and punched him across the face.
We started to fight each other and we were both getting bruises all over, arms, legs, face, stomach. Until finally one last punch to his stomach and then to the face. "Serves you right bitch."
Without hesitation I ran and picked up the unconscious riolu. We started to walk back to my house when my head started to feel as if a couple of needles were going into it and it was making me have trouble walking back. (Are you ok?) "Yea..I just.." I said as I felt my head and leanded against a tree. (Hey ulysses!?!) Everything was getting darker until suddenly I blacked out.
A little while later after what had happened my eyes opened up to see braixen crying against my shoulder. "Hey...why are you crying?" (Oh thank arceus you're alive!! I thought you died!) She said with teary eyes and she gave me a hug. "Yea...I think I'm ok. What happened?" (We were walking back while you were carrying the riolu and you just passed out.) "Oh...where's the riolu?" (She's behind this tree still passed out.) "She?" (Yea? Can't you tell?) "Ummm no i cant." (Oh thats right Pokemon can distinguish genders from each other.) "Well I just hope I can carry her home." My body struggled to get up. (Wait you need to sit for a bit and rest up.) "Ughh fine, can you at least bring me riolu so we can make sure that she's safe?" (Yea sure.) She went and picked up riolu and put her on my chest to rest.
The next morning I woke up and set riolu down. "Braixen wake up." I said quietly while she was resting on my shoulder. (Is it morning already?) "Yea let's get home" We got up and carried riolu home.
When we got home it was around 9am. "Can you go set her down on my bed while I make breakfast?" (Yea sure.) "Ok breakfast is almost done, her wounds need to be healed now." (Umm Ulysses?) "Yes?" (I went into her mind and I saw scars and distrust.) "What does that mean?" (It means that she was at the breaking point of hating humans...her previous trainer led her to believe that all humans are bad and selfish.) "Oh I see.." (She has been with her trainer quite a while and has been...abused.) "That son of a bitch, next time I see him, I'll make sure it'll be the last." (Even if you do, it might not fix her, chances are very slim that you can do something about it, sure you can heal her and protect her but you can't fix her mental pain) "Well I'll try" (Ok I'll let you heal her, I'll just be outside.) "Ok, now let's get to it."
As soon as everything was done I left her on my bed still sleeping. (Is she gonna be ok?) "Yeah she just needs some more rest in the mean time. You finished my cooking while I was helping riolu?" (Yeah I learned a thing or two from you, now let's get eating I'm starving!) "Ok sure." When we were done eating we waited in the room for riolu to wake up.
During the afternoon Braixen had broken the long moment of silence. (Hey I dont wanna brag or anything but I can make you understand some other Pokemon) "Really? You can do that?" (Yeah but I've never tried it before all I know is that I have to go in your mind and break some sort of speech wall that will allow you to understand most Pokemon) "Wanna try it then?" (Of course. But it'll take some time, maybe an hour or two.) "Its fine, at least it'll pass the time." (Ok sit down and remain still just for a moment.) "Ok." Braixen went behind me and put her paws on my head. (Now close your eyes and empty your mind.) "Ok got it."
It seemed like only a couple minutes but she had finished. (Ok you're all set!!) "Really? I'll just wait until she wakes up so I can test it then." (Im gonna go to take a nap that process really tired me out.) "Yeah you seem really tired, actually you know what, let me carry you there so you dont waste more energy." (Ok if you say so.) she sighed. I carried her to the couch and set her down but she had already fallen asleep in my arms so I put her down carefully.
I came into the room and waited for an hour, then suddenly the riolu was waking up. "Hey you're waking up!" (Wha..what happened? Who are you!?! Get away from me I've never should've trusted a human!!! Your all the same!!!) "Wait let me explain!" (No just leave me alone!!!) "Ok I guess...just dont leave ok you still need to heal." (I can do whatever I want.) She said as she was trying to get up but couldn't because her stomach was still hurting like hell from earlier. "I told you just stay in bed." (Whatever...Just leave me alone then.) "Uhh fine ok."
I left the room and braixen was waking up and scratching her eyes. (Yup I knew she would react like that.) "Yeah well she just needs time alone." (Agreed.) "Its time to make dinner." When dinner was done and we ate I decided to leave an extra plate for riolu. I walked to my room and opened the door. "Uhhh hey if you dont mind I left you dinner on the table if you need it." (I'm not hungry.) She said while laying down. "Well if you do feel hungry the food will be right there." (Sure ok, I'll think about it.) I walked back to the couch and looked at braixen. "She said she wasn't hungry." (She is hungry.) "But she just said-" (Trust me she is.) "Well if you say so. Ok well let's get to bed, just sleep on the couch, I'll sleep on the floor." (If your sleeping on the floor, then I will to, its only fair.) "If you really want to, just sleep next to me then." (You can hug me if you it'll keep you warm.) She blushed. "I think I will." I smiled. "Your fur is so soft!!" (Yeah I know.) she started to smile.
When we fell asleep, a little while later I awoke and opened my eye a bit and saw that riolu was eating the dinner that was set on the table for her. I smiled and went back to sleep. Some time around midnight I woke up to someone kicking me. "H-hey what's going on??" (Relax human...I just wanted to say... thanks for the meal.) "Well your welcome." I said while rubbing my eyes. (Dont think anything of it I just...thought it was good...thats all.) She started blushing very faintly under her fur. (I was wondering how can you understand me?) "Oh, well braixen here went into my mind and broke a wall or something that'll make me understand Pokemon." (I didnt ask for full details, I'm going to bed.) "Oh...good night...I guess." She walked into my room and closed the door.
The next morning I saw that braixen was with Riolu and eating. "So I see that you're getting use to things." Riolu just glared at me. "What was it something I said???" (Uhh no she's just not angry with pokemon, just people.) "Oh I get it, well I have to go out for something anyways." I said while looking sad and leaving the house. (Be careful out there!!) Braixen yelled. "Maybe I should just be gone for a while until things cool down." I continued walking until there was a tree with a perfect amount of shade. "It'll do." I said to myself. I layed at the base of the tree and took a nap.
Later braixen was shaking me awake. (Wake up you!!!) "Wh-wha-whats wrong??" (Its riolu!! Her trainer came back and is threatening her to go back with him!) "What how did this happen?!" (Well we went for a walk and he just suddenly appeared!) "Ah hell let's go!" Braixen led me to where riolu and her trainer was.
"You'd better come back or I'll force you to!" (Never you stupid jerk!!) "Thats it!" He started to run towards her when I came up and tackeled him. "What the fuck do you think your doing?!" I yelled in his face. "Taking back my pokemon!" he yelled back. "Oh no you don't!" We began to fight each other again. "Braixen take riolu back to the house!" (Ok got it, let's go.) She said. (Right.) agreed riolu."
He started to throw punches and I only managed to dodge some. My fists were punch back but more effectively than last time. He was gonna kick me in the privates and I grabbed his leg. "Cheap shot asshole!!" I yelled. He swung again and hit me in the stomach.
Meanwhile, braixen heard my cry in her head. (We have to go back.) She said. (Why?) Riolu replied. (Ulysses is getting more hurt than last time!) (Than last time?) (Yes last time he beat up your trainer to protect you and he brought you here.) She said. (Oh my...I never realized...) Riolu took a while to sink it in. (Could this human be different? He risked his life for me and he doesn't even know me?) She muttered quietly. (What was that?) Braixen said. (Nothing let's just go.)
As they were making there way toward me they were stopped by a tall looking Pokemon. (Who are you?!? Move we have to get back to him!!) braixen said. (I know.) The Pokemon said. (Then move!) (Ok just dont interfere with the battle.) (why?) (Becuase I have forseen the future and I want that riolu to see what he has to say and the outcome of the fight.) (Ok I guess...) (now I must be going.) (Ok let's go riolu.)
When they arrived they saw me on my knees. (Ulysses!!!) braixen tried to run to me. (Wait! Remember what he told us.) (Ok...He better be right about this.) It was hard for braixen to see me getting beat up that she started to let some tears out and looked away.
"You...Will...never... BEAT ME!!!! I WILL PROTECT MY FRIENDS NO MATTER THE COST!!! EVEN IF ITS MY OWN LIFE!!! THEY ARE NOT JUST THINGS, THEY'RE MY BEST FRIENDS!!!!" My strength regained from sheer adrenaline and I got back up to threw multiple punches and threw one fatal punch to the face that knocked out 3 teeth and cracked one and left him with a nose bleed. He collapsed and started to faint due to blood loss. "Don't you EVER LET ME SEE YOUR FACE AROUND THESE WOODS AGAIN!!!"
After that I passed out. Braixen and riolu ran over to me to see if I was still alive. (He's fine dont worry, he's just out cold.) Riolu just stood quietly. (Ok I'll use psychic to lift him up and bring him back to the house.) Riolu nodded. When they arrived braixen set me on my bed. (Let's check on him tomorrow morning.) (Ok.) Riolu said. (I'm gonna stay the night in his room to make sure he's ok.) braixen said. (Me too.) They pulled up chairs and slept with their heads on my bed.
Morning had arrived. (He's waking up.) (I can see that.) Jokingly said riolu. "Owww my head hurts, wait, how did I get home?" (I lifted you using psychic.) "Oh cool." I turned my head towards riolu, who was just staring at me. "Ummm something on your mind?" I asked as riolu was starting to look at me with watery eyes. She ran on the bed and went for a hug. (I'm sorry I thought you were a worthless human!! I heard what you said out there and braixen told me what also happened before!) I returned the hug. "Anything to protect my friends." After a while of crying and hugging braixen interrupted. (Ahem, if you dont mind we still have to eat breakfast.) "Oh right sorry I got lost in the moment." And just like that we became friends.
"Alright what do you guys want to eat?" (Whatever is good.) Said riolu. "How about pancakes, sausages, and orange juice?" (That sounds fine.) "Ok well I'll get to it." We finished eating breakfast and I was washing the dishes when I heard a voice in my head. (Nice job you got riolu to be your friend but those mental scars will never go away.) "Hmm? What was that braixen?" (I didnt say anything.) "Nevermind its probably just nothing." (if you say so.) "How about some training to get stronger?" (Sounds fun!) said riolu. (Yeah it does!) agreed braixen. Alright let's go!
