Many days have past since Beauty the Drakeon was first treated at the Pokemon Center, and was befriended by Ash. Beauty has finally returned to her beautiful self. Her bones no longer showed, her hair began to shine, and her golden eyes have the fire of life once again. Also the only trace of Beauty's injury was a scar on her foot and a slight limp. The only human that Beauty allowed to get close to her was Ash.
Quietly Ash sneaked outside to talk to Beauty. To his surprise she was watching the night sky. Her golden eyes focused on the starry sky. Her eyes were full of sadness.
Ash walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Slowly Beauty turned her head and looked him. Why are you outside this late Ash?
Ash sat down against Beauty's side. "I couldn't sleep, and why are you still up?"
Watching the stars. My father and me used to look at them together until the day he died. Beauty then looked at her foot scared from the trap.
"Do you want to talk about it."
Ash you are more of a friend and a trainer. I haven't told very many Drakeons, only my mother, Bright Eyes, knows how I feel. It back when I was about your age. Me, mother and father were in the woods. I was battling my father, who Professor Oak knew as Tobiao, while my mother watched nearby. Then father's head snapped up and was growling. Out of the brush appeared a shadowed figure with two other figures that I could see clearly. One was a person in black with a red R on their chest the other was a Large Pokemon that walk on its hind legs and had a horn on its head, I think it was a Nidoking. The shadowed figure was called Boss and he told the red R man to attack. Father told my mother to get me out. I refused to go. Then the Nidoking charged. Father looked at me with his gold eyes and promised me he would come back. So I went with Mother. I waited for him to return. He did come back as the moon reached its full height. Father collapsed as soon as he reached the clearing where we were staying. Father had deep scratches all over his body. He was slowly bleeding to death. I ran up to where Father lay. I tried to lick his wounds, but he pushed me away. Beauty's eyes filled with tears and a few fell to the ground. He only wanted to carry on the line of Golden Eyed Drakeons. So I curled up next to father and he sang the Drakeon's song, and told me if I need strength I call his name, Tobiao. By morning he was gone. He was the last of the oldest Golden Eyes, now there are only two left: me and Comico, he is my so.. Uh I mean is a young friend. The normal eye color is silver not gold, so I am really rare. Beauty looked to her side. Ash, are you awake? Ash had drifted off to sleep. Gently Beauty covered Ash with her wing to keep him warm.
Pikachu ran up to Beauty. "Pika pi Pikachu?"(What happened to Ash?)
He fell asleep. Don't worry he's fine. Just Leave him be until tomorrow.
Pikachu curled up in between Beauty's forelegs and then he too fell asleep.
Beauty once again looked at Ash with a smile. Goodnight my young friend. Then she too fell into a deep sleep.

The full moon shines down on my spotted back. I bend my head down to smell the bloodied ground. It smelled of Beauty, but it was an old smell. The trail stopped at this place. Some kind of trap laid nearby on the ground. The trap was covered in my Beauty's blood. A new trail with many different scents began and headed away. I thought the worst had happened. Then a breeze came from the East. On it was Beauty's scent. I dashed off for I must save her.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Slowly the sun rose in the sky. Beauty woke when the sunlight began to shine in her eyes. She lifted her head. Pikachu was still asleep between her forelegs. Beauty nudged him awake. Beauty looked at Ash asleep under her wing. An evil smile came across her face.
Hey Pikachu. Give Ash a wakeup call.
Pikachu looked at Ash and got the idea. "PikaChuuuu!"
"AAHHH CUT IT OUT PIKACHU!!"
Ash fell to the ground once again fried. "What was that for?"
Beauty was laughing. It is time to wake up, and I wanted my breakfast but you made it hard for me to get up Ash.
Beauty slowly rose to her feet. As the back doors opened and little Togepi came out and ran toward Beauty but tripped over a rock and started crying. Beauty cautiously walked over and bent her head down to look at Togepi. Togepi looked at Beauty and grabbed her nostrils and stretched them.
"Toge toge pi."(Big lizard fun.)
Misty then ran out the door. "Togepi, where are you? There you are." Misty tried to get near enough to Beauty to grab Togepi.
As her hand neared Togepi Beauty snapped at Misty's hand. Luckily Misty pulled her away hand in time.
"Watch it Misty she might bite you. Beauty calm she isn't going to hurt you."
Beauty locked eyes with Misty. I don't trust 'Her'.
Misty stared at Beauty. "Well you are going to have to live with it. Hey you can talk."
Ash came in between the two. "Beauty don't hurt Misty. Misty, Beauty can talk, and I suggest that you back up. I will get Togepi for you."
Misty and Beauty did as they were told. Carefully Ash grabbed Togepi off of Beauty's nose and handed it to Misty and went in.
Me and "Her aren't really going to get along.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The sun flashes in my eyes. I have not slept in many days. I have finally emerged from the woods. Then I see her.
She was as beautiful as the last time I saw her. Beside her was a young boy standing beside her. I must free her. I jumped out.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"You know Beauty, Nurse Joy said that you are ready to be discharged from the Pokemon Center today. What do you think of that?"
It's great. Then I can finally stretch my cramped muscles.
A deep growling sound was heard behind them. "Beauty was that you?"
No, but that voice seems familiar.
Slowly a figure came into focus. He was taller than Beauty by a few inches. Instead of stripes he was spotted on his back, head, shoulders, and hips. Each of his feet looked he ran through spilled paint. His hair on his head was shorter and more wild that Beauty's. All his hair had the same colorings, but had lighting bolts in it. He had a sliver horn growing from the top of his head and a single long thick whisker growing on each side of his head near his nostril. Around his neck was a necklace of light and dark tan leather twisted together, and circling it was the feathers of Pidgeys and Spearows. At the front of the necklace were two large fangs that dangled to his chest. His eyes where a dark sliver in color and filled with hatred.
Orrik?
"Who?"
Orrik is a Drakeon and my mate.
Orrik began to growl at her. [Beauty, I have been searching for you. Come back with me.]
[It depends on the boy that stands next to me.]
Ash was still standing next to Beauty, but didn't understand what Beauty and Orrik was saying. Beauty was standing at her full height of six feet and six inches and turned to look at Ash
Ash could see in Beauty's eyes what see wanted. Ash nodded and went to the gate in the fence. He opened it and Beauty trotted over to it. Beauty bent her head so it was leveled with Ash. She nuzzled him. Thank you for everything Ash, I will never forget you. Goodbye. And with that Beauty ran to Orrik's side and the nuzzled each other and ran off side by side.
Ash slowly closed the gate and watched as Beauty and Orrik ran off. "So long Beauty my friend. I shall never forget you ether."
TO BE CONTINUED….
Is Beauty really gone. Get ready for the next Chapter.
