StevenZ12: Hello you all, StevenZ12 here alive and kicking. I'm really happy with how this story is going. Thanks to the latest reviewers Hands of destiny and Reven228. I will be accepting OC's for two more chapters before closing it until I'd need some more because each arc (there are 6 of them since Nuevo Possesses 6 districts) are quite heavy. The disclaimers is still in effects.

In the last chapter, Andre met Snow, a rather cute white haired girl that owned a Shiny Vulpix during his trip to Nuevo. After a rather rambling adventure, both set foot to the southern region and despite being happy about it, the black haired teenager was literally forced to travel with Snow. They were last seen running toward the unknown since none of them even knew where the Green Oak's Pokemon Research Lab was.

Chapter 3: Clash with the native

″What? You didn't think I would respect the natural boys stronger and faster than girls did you?″

Andre laughed at this and tried to run even faster, only to bump unto a Pokemon I had never seen before.

That Pokemon was indeed strange and resembled an anteater. It had a brownish appearance. His face was deep brown and round with a very prominent nose.

It harbored a pebble collar around his tiny neck and possessed one clawed toe on each. His tail was complemented with a middle sized jagged rock. A bump appeared on his head as he started whining.

″(Peblo… Peblossa!)″ the strange little Pokemon groaned.

Before Andre could pay his apologies to the foreign Pokemon, Snow rushed to him and picked it up, gently rubbing his head.

″Aww… you're such a cute Pokemon to be covered in dirt like that″ She whispered, calming the Pokemon down.

″(Peblo...)″ was the answer of the seemingly rock type Pokemon.

After some pampering from Nightshade, the Pokemon jumped off her arms, lovingly rubbed himself on her leg then took off in the opposite direction.

″What was that Pokemon?″ Andre asked while looking around and spotting starlies and Pidgeys.

″From what I've heard, it was named Pebblosa.″ The white haired teenager while playing with a trend of her hair. ″He was so cute too…″ She added, her voice trailing off.

″Sure sure. Let's find that professor first.″

(4 hours later- Andre's P.O.V)

″This is getting nowhere! I told you that we had to go up to this hill!″ I annoyingly said while we were rubbing my sore feet.

″Oh? So now mister Aegis is angry? WHO WAS IT THAT DECIDED TO LEAVE DOWNTOWN TO GO ON THE STREETS INSTEAD?″ was my companion's answer, her pale skin becoming more and more red, this time not in embarrassment.

I grew more and more frustrated because I truly wanted to find the lab A.S.A.P then go to the adventure I dreamed of.

″Well if miss Nightshade could be as bright as her hair color, then we could fin…″ I started before getting ko'ed by a right slap and a left mild flamethrower.

″I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GET LOST!″ she shouted before running off, her Vulpix giving me a harsh glare before huffing and running after her trainer.

″Owowowow! How is this possible? What did I do wrong?″ I roared, growling about girls and their temper.

I wandered around the streets for some time, deciding to not bother about her. But as you can imagine, it felt lonely and sad without her presence. I found myself thinking about her and feared for her safety. I knew that she could manage herself and unlike me, she had a Pokemon with her. But still, I decided to let go of my pride and try to find her before anything happens.

Some time passed and I still was ruminating my thought on Green Oak's plaza when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

″Hi man, it seems that this Vulpix want you to follow her'' the teen stated

"Why?" I asked, a really bad feeling engulfing me.

″You should come with me, your girlfriend is in danger.″ He gravely stated while grabbing my hand and running towards the Green Oak slumps.

(Some time earlier, Snow's P.O.V)

″ I hate him! I despise him! I loathe him! Why can't he listen to me? Where is the sweet and kind boy I had met in the plane? Is he really simply a charmer and nothing more?″ I ranted while running around the city, feeling abandoned. My Vulpix huffed in a ″(I told you so)″ manner.

I bumped to a rooster's hole and tripped, scratching my knee in the process. I felt teary and lonely for the first time. I knew what was wrong and even with Vulpix nuzzling me to give me courage, I knew something wasn't right.

I realized that he too couldn't have known about the actual whereabouts of the Pokemon lab. I felt a pang of guilt engulf me like a storm and I silently cried in Vulpix fur. By her demeanor, I could also sense that Vulpix missed him too. We both whined for a while before getting a hold on ourselves.

We decided to search and apologize to him because first he was the only person I know on this region and second, I really needed comfort and as selfish as it sounds, his arms were perfect for that.

″Let's go search for him, Vulpix!″ I said while getting up… soon to fall back on my rear.

″Sh*t! I my knee is too hurt for me to move around. Vulpix, try to find somebody suitable to help. I can't move well and I stuck in a rather shady place. ″ I pleaded to my golden furball Pokemon. ″(Pix! Vulpix)″

She accepted, licking my cheek telling me not to worry, or so I interpreted her howling. She then took off and disappeared from the slump I was locked in.

I started to fear a lot for myself since I was in a dark alley, late in the evening and injured so I wouldn't be able to do a break for it if a situation presented itself. Despite this I refused to get teary and decided to stay strong and courageous. I bit my lip and sang a song softly that came from the Unova legendary folklore.

(On Meloetta's sparkling recital air)

When truth and Ideals do encounter themselves,

Something can be born, something within oneself,

Justice and Victory, both side of one same coin

Is what I strive to gain.

(chorus)

The voice of truth,

The Ideal's plea,

These are my relics

The voice of my soul

The courage of justice

Sing and pray for your wish.

This song was something my mom taught me before going to Aspertia's summer camp and she told me to sing it whenever I would feel afraid or lonely. Curiously, it always helped me to cheer up.

″This is quite the voice you have there, lass″

I quickly turned around to see who was talking to me, but I couldn't find them.

″Who's there?″ I shakily asked, trying to get up on my feet, only to wince in pain due to my knee.

″Don't worry we won't hurt you if you come willingly with us.″ the unseen voice offered, or rather threatened.

″Your voice would replace our shrine priestess well, she's sick you see…″ Another voice sighed.

Growing more and more worried and adrenaline shooting through my veins, I managed to stand and stay on my feet before shouting ″Show yourselves!″

″Alright, white haired, we will show ourselves.″ one of the voices said before many forms came from the roofs above.

At first glance, they were teenagers but there were a woman with them. They had jade colored pants and sneakers like almost every other teenagers, but they had a jade bracelet around their right wrists and wore ponchos. Still jade green. The woman with them didn't have pants but was wearing a jade short dress that had a gold line on the middle.

Their uniform matched to say the least. They looked like they belonged to some sort of tribe and they didn't look very friendly.

″I see by the look on your face that you don't quite know who we are. We are the descendants of Nuevo's first peoples. We don't give ourselves a name, we just call ourselves the ″Natives.″ My name is Caitlin.″ She presented herself. The three teens beside her didn't bother presented themselves, but looked quite interested by me. I knew that it could turn sourly. My fears where confirmed when she sent out a Pokemon that I had never seen before.

″It's nothing personal, but you have to come with us. Capulily, use sleep powder.″ Caitlin commanded.

As soon as I heard this, my knee pain disappeared for a moment and the only thing on my mind was to get away from them, as quickly as possible.

I ran as fast as I could, but they followed without much effort, especially that Capulily or whatever it was called.

″If only I had Vulpix with me, I could fend off this pokemon since he obviously looks like a grass type.″ I cursed under my teeth as I kept running like a Tauros on a stampede.

Of course, just like a movie cliché, after turning two or three more corners, I tripped again and I lost all my tension. As a result, my knee pain came back in a sweep and made me cringe under the sharp pain. My pursuers of course took advantage of that and evilly warned: ″Well dear don't you worry, soon you won't be feeling any pain at all.″

Giving into fear, I did the only thing I could have done in this situation:

″I'M SORRY ANDRE, WHERE ARE YOU SAVE M…″ I shouted with all the pipes Arceus could have gave me before seeing a green powdery cloud and a black veil.

( Vulpix's P.O.V)

″( These humans are always messing things up. Now she want me to find somebody that can be trusted in order to help her to the Pokemon Center. But none of them gives that vibe of trust I desire. If only that stupid teenager would have been more smooth, none of this would have happened)″ I grumbled, running around while searching for the right person.

This is when I heard my trainer's shriek. This froze my blood and luckily, I found an older teenager that gave off the vibe of trust I was searching for. Needless to say that I ran or rather, quick attacked him in order to get noticed.

(Trustworthy teenager's P.O.V)

″Here Gil! We're all stockpiled for a good week.″ congratulated the said human while packing his stuff on his enormous bag.

″(Can't you do a day without doing any Sableye or Meowstics?)″ his purplish Pokemon answered, sweatdropping slightly.

″Aww don't give me that Gilla, you're even worse than I am at this″ I pointed out while finishing my packing.

″(Anyway, why won't we pay professor Forrest a visit before hitting the roads again master?)″ The little lizard Pokemon proposed before getting up and stretch.

″Seems ditto. Whatever ring your Chimecho″ I answered, valuing myself some playful poison sting.

As I helped my purple Pokemon up to my shoulder, I was rather brutally flattened by a golden red furball.

″Hey what got me in that pushy situation?″ I asked, groaning at the Pokemon standing before me. It had a golden fur and 6 tails. There was no mistaking it, it was a Vulpix and she looked worried.

″(What gives Rokubi? Got a problem on your end that would justify you quick attacking my brah here?)″ Gilla asked the Vulpix who didn't look very talkative, judging by her agitation.

″(I don't have time to explain, please let's get Andre that I spot over there and follow me quickly)″ Vulpix pleaded while tugging my pants, menacing on either burn it to a crisp or shred it away.

″No problem foxy, I don't mind playing human mystery dungeon for once!″ I decided before getting to the plaza and pick up what I figured was the Vulpix trainer's boyfriend.

(Andre's P.O.V)

Trust trainer, Vulpix and I were running our a** up, following foxy's tracks. I mentally beat myself up for what happened. I knew I shouldn't have let her wander on her own. Now I knew the only way to make up to her was to go and save her from wherever she was.

″By the way, who exactly are you man?″ I asked in between two breath.

″My name is Sven and I am a Pokemon backpacker as you can see.″ He presented himself and pointed his rather huge backpack. ″This little one on my shoulders is Gilla, my first Pokemon.″ He added while the said Gilla made a two finger salute.

″I would have loved our encounter be a little less hectic. My name is Andre and I wish to become Nuevo's champion. I don't have any Pokemon yet.″ I introduced myself, returning the two finger salute to Gilla.

″( If you have done doing civilities, quiet down, I have spotted them.)″ Vulpix warned before simply shouting ″(3-2-1, CHARRRGEE!)″ while spewing flames outta her mouth.

What happened here is that Vulpix's flames destroyed the car where Vulpix had spotted her trainer. As in anger, a strange Pokemon jumped from the car and tried to attack us with stun spore.

″Gilla, Poison Sting!″ Sven commanded as the Pokemon backed away from the rain of poisonous needles.

″Go for it Steven, I'll hold that Capulilly here.̋ He reassured before commanding a Poison Jab.

″Thanks millions for that Sven!″ I said, relieved to have him by my side. Focusing back on track, I sped up and reached the car. Two strange people popped out and tried to stop me. They were strangely dressed but I didn't care, as the only thing on my mind was to get my friend out of there safely. Needless to say that I knocked them out with relative ease, but that's not important.

With that done, I picked my white haired friend and bolted out just in time to see Gilla scoring a mad Poison Uppercut square on the plant like Pokemon chin, knocking her out.

″So how did you like that missy?″ Sven smugly asked, proud of his Gilla.

″Not bad, not bad at all″ she conceded before literally vanishing from our sight, same goes for her henchmen and woman.

″Who were these guys? Why did they do that to her?″ I asked, a sudden bloodlust of anger getting the better of me. Before I tried anything, I got whacked by Vulpix's tails.

″(Pipe down! Everything's alright!)″ Vulpix shouted, or so I caught from all the Vul's and Pix's.

″I wonder where should we go next. Do you know any places Sven?″ I asked while holding Snow close to me. Sven had placed her arms around my neck and the more I held her, the more I could feel her arms tightening up around me. The feeling of guilt that was squeezing me like an Onix Binding a Caterpie slowly went away as it was replaced by a wave of warm relief.

Once Sven noticed that I had snapped out of it, He answered: ″Well if your done hugging your Snowver, I can show you the way to the monster Lab.″ He teasingly joked, laughing at the blank stare I was giving him.

His Gilla just facepalmed at this and growled his name like he wanted to say: ″(This is what I'll have to go through each day brah.)″
