[So long ago, I posted that I was going to do a Pokemon story. This is not that story. That story is in development hell somewhere but I'll think about working on that one too. I really wanted to make a story with my favorite Pokémon, Monferno, and now I did. Hope you guys enjoy. I'll see you guys later. Note: I do not own Pokémon. All right to it's actual owners. [Second note: this is a slight revision to the original first chapter in hopes to make it less cringe since it was made 6-7 years ago when I was in high school. I hope you all enjoy][Third note: I really hope changing this chapter doesn't become a constant thing that I do lol. If you're a new reader, welcome and you can ignore this message. And if you're a returning reader, I hope you read the update chapter. I took out the explicit content from this chapter and I'm changing the rating to Teen.
Chapter 1: Things Don't Always Turn Out the Way You Hope
(Tony(the Monferno) POV)
Well I guess I should have seen this coming. I guess someone being gone a few years would cause others to move on for others. But I thought since I came back, thanks to Dialga, I would have another chance at getting the Ice-type Vulpix girl I fell in love with during our adventures. I always wanted to tell her how I felt but I didn't want to ruin our friendship or let it interfere with our saving the world deal. I was going to tell her afterwards but, that was before I knew I was disappearing. When we defeated Primal Dialga and were on our way to the rainbow stoneship, I spilt everything I wanted to say before I was gone. I didn't get to see her reaction but, I guessed she was shocked by what I said. When I reappeared to see her there, I was ecstatic to see her standing there. But I also noticed Lucario, who I soon remembered to be Jack, an aspiring explorer that we recruited when he was a Riolu, standing behind her with a bewildered look on his face. When she saw me, she rushed in to hug me. I was ecstatic to say the least. Spending a year or so in...wherever I was gave me a lot of time to think, my thoughts being mostly occupied by the love of my life. Seeing her again brought on a few tears from the both of us and it gave me hope in pursuing her again, though it was clear to see that I didn't know how to read a room or I just ignored the obvious. Time went on and I tried my hardest to spend time with her after missions but she would always hang out with Jack. I was always upset about this because we seemed to only hang out on missions and there was no time to talk about feelings during them.
Not the time or place.
Sunflora and Chimecho noticed this and always pushed me to keep trying and she'll come, which I believe until what I just saw a few minutes ago.
(Flashback)
This is it. You're gonna do it today Tony. You'll finally win her heart.
I thought as I stood in front of her Sharpedo's Bluff home holding a bushel of Gracidea flowers I got from our Shaymin friend we met. Sunflora told me this would be the perfect time to ask Vixie out. With the beautiful night sky, breeze, and full moon, what could have been better. I took a deep breath before walking into the house and down the stairs. Half way down I started hearing noises but I couldn't make them out from here.
"Vixie? You here?." I said before getting no responses. I immediately crouched down to make myself more quiet and crept into the main room. When I got there I saw what was making the noise, I froze with my eyes widened and my flame on my tail turning pitch black. My feelings from before became worse seeing them go at it like that and after hearing…everything, including the words of affection from Vixie directed at Jack. I felt sick to my stomach and I soon had the need to throw up. I left and ran to the beach.
(End of Flashback)
And now I'm here. Man I'm such an idiot for not seeing this sooner. I'm the leader of a famous exploration team and I couldn't figure this out on my own. Well love is blind I guess and because of it I learned the truth the hard way. I looked down at my tail and saw that the flame was still black but it was slowly turning back to normal. I laid back down with my head laying on one hand while the other was still holding onto the flowers. I stared into the night sky as the sounds and images of Vixie and Jack jumped around in my head until a familiar Beaver-Pokemon came along.
"Hey Tony, yup yup, what are you doing out here so late?" Bidoof said in his country-accent.
"Hey Bidoof. Nothing really, just thinking." I said turning to him.
"Oh ok, what's with the flowers?" Bidoof asked.
"Hm? *Lifts up flowers* Oh right, I forgot I had these. They're for nothing special. Not anymore at least." I replied.
"Oh wait I know, you were going to ask Vixie on a special date, yup yup." Bidoof said with a sly smile. "So how'd it go?"
"I didn't ask her." I said bluntly.
"Well how come. This is the perfect setting, yup yup, with the -"
"I already got the lecture from Sunflora. Please don't remind me!" I snapped annoyed before sighing and lay back down. "Sorry, that was uncalled for."
"Oh golly it's okay. What happened?" He asked.
I was about to explain but then a loud scream and howl sounded from the bluff causing me to groan and my tail flame to become pure black again. "That happened."
"No way. Was that-."
"Yup."
"With-."
"Mhm."
"Having-."
"Uh huh."
"Oh golly. I'm sorry to hassle you about that." Bidoof said apologetically.
"No need to apologize Bidoof, you just wanted to know. Now, I want a little alone time to myself to think. And if anyone asks, I'll be here and that I'm missing the morning assembly." I said.
"Alright, yup yup, I'll leave you to yourself. Feel better." He said walking off and away. I stared back back up at the sky before pulling the flowers up to look at them in the sky too.
"I guess things don't always turn out the way you hope." I whispered as I lit up a fire punch which caused the flowers to burn and disappear from my hand, blowing into the wind.
[Welp, that was the first chapter. This could've easily been just a one-shot but I decided to write more. Hope you guys liked it. If you did and if you like lego, I have a Legends of Chima story that you might wanna check out. Don't worry there's no lemons lol. Anyway, to the outro:
