The Pokemon Adventure of Dante Merton

Author Note: Ok. I'd like to start off thanking Dragon Shadow1 for posting the first reviews of my story. Even though you may be my only reader, I appreciate it greatly. As for the fic, I've finally figured out the upload system. No italics or anything like that, and it screws up the spacing if you don't put at least a full line between each paragraph, so that should be the end of those kind of problems. Now on to new problems, like writer's block, and time limits on computer use, and a really stupid younger sister who won't leave me alone. Oh, and before I forget. Dragon Shadow1, you gave a suggestion of evolutions for Absol. I'm completely amenable to that idea. But I can't think of a name or get a fixed idea in my head of what it would look like. So if you or anyone who reads this gets an idea about either of those or a pokedex entry, please tell me in a review. All right, now on to the Fic.

'Indicates inner monologue or mental speech'

-------------- Chapter 3

Well outside of Redroe City, Dante decided to get to know his Pokemon. He released Absol. The white cat-like Pokemon looked around cautiously, (Author note: Check chapter 1 for better description of Absol.) checking its surroundings, before facing Dante. "Absol sol ab absol."

"What the hell?" Dante said. "What are you saying?"

"Sol ab absol olab." It said impatiently.

"Dammit, I don't have a translator on my PokePuter."

'You fucking idiot. I said Thank you for saving me.'

"Now who the fuck said that?" Dante hated people who sneak up on others.

'Your Absol, you fool'

"WHAT?!"

'I'm using telepathy. It's talking mind-to-mind. Abra's and their evolutions are also known to do it. As was Mewtwo. My telepathic skills aren't as powerful as theirs, but can be used to break down the language barrier between us. Check your pokedex,'

"Uhhhhhh." Dante didn't know whether to be scared or glad that he could talk with his Pokemon. "Ok I'll check the Pokedex."

'You don't need to speak out loud. Just picture me with your minds eye and speak in your head, or else people will think you're a freak who talks to himself.'

"Good point." Dante said.

'In your mind!'

Dante concentrated, picturing Absol in his mind. 'Ok, is this right?'

'Yeah, that's good'

The Pokedex finally found Absol. The dorky monotone kicked in, "Absol, the Disaster Pokemon. Absol has the ability to foretell the coming of natural disasters. It lives in a harsh, rugged mountain environment. This Pokemon very rarely ventures down from the mountains." It turned off.

'That's not true,' Absol protested, 'That part about foretelling natural disasters. All Pokemon have that ability. It's just we Absol have a abnormally heightened mental capacity, that's why we can use telepathy, however minor that ability may be in us, I mean I can't even speak to two people like this at the same time. But, blah blah blah.'

Dante stopped listening to his babble, someone was coming. And trying not to be seen. Whoever they were, they were traveling in the forest along the road clearly trying to avoid the Dante.

"HEY!" Dante shouted, causing the babble in his head to cease. It took only a second to discover what had caught his trainers attention. Dante shouted again, "HEY YOU IN THERE, COME ON OUT."

The movement in the trees got faster, heading away from him.

"Absol, cut her off." Dante commanded.

'What?'

"GO Absol!"

'OK, Ok, ok. I'm on it.' He darted into the forest

A minute later, Dante heard a female voice scream. "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Dante darted in after Absol. He arrived at a scene that couldn't stop him from bursting into laughter. The girl was screaming her head off while beating the shit out of Absol with her purse.

'I blame you for this.' He mindspoke. (Author Note: From this point on all telepathy will be referred to as mindspeak.)

Dante's laughing was abruptly cut short when he noticed who the girl was.

"Abbey?!" Dante said in shock. "What the fuck are you doing here? You followed me?" He asked incredulously. She was a neighbor of his who seemed to be the only person not scared of him, in fact she had become a stalker of sorts, but never to this degree. She wore a black blouse with a red stripe down each of the sleeves, and some black jean shorts with some sandals, an odd looking medallion hung from her neck. She had the female equivalent to his outfit. It really pissed him off.

She stopped screaming and just stared at him. Stared right into his eyes. He hated it when she did that. He lowered his head to break the contact.

"Huh?" She snapped out of the trance that looking in his eyes produced, at least with her that's what it produced, (Author note: check chapter 1 if you're confused) "Oh, hi Dante, what are you doing out here? It's pretty dangerous. But, then again you're a Pokemon Trainer now aren't you."

"How did you find out about that? And what made you decide to follow me. Are you stalking me?" He knew the answer to that, but wanted to see her reaction, and wanted to hear her excuse.

"I'm not stalking you. You pervert! And I found out from your mother. You were going to leave without me. How dare you!"

Dante didn't know whether to blush in embarrassment or to get pissed at her. So he did both. "What do you mean why didn't I take you? Why would I take you? All you've ever done is follow me and stare at my eyes!"

"Oh!" She gasped. A tear ran down her cheek. "I can't believe you'd say that about us."

"WHAT us?" Dante screamed.

His head exploded in pain as he felt the slap. His head rang for a few seconds until he realized that he was on the ground and Abbey was gone. Absol was staring him in the face. 'You do have nice eyes' he mindspoke.

Dante was up in an instant. "What the fuck happened? Did I hurt her feelings as much as she hurt my jaw?"

'Ok. Two things, one: You don't need to speak aloud, I already told you about mindspeak, and two: I doubt it, that looked like it hurt a whole lot, and I'm pretty sure she was fake-crying to get you to lower your guard, I saw her pinching herself when that tear fell.'

"Crazy Bitch." Dante said while rubbing his jaw, he hand a red handprint on his cheek that was slowly turning into a bruise.

'Alright ignore my advice and look like a fool who's talking to himself, and by the way, it hurt so much because she had some iron rings all over her hand.'

'What? Damn that fucking bitch.' Dante was now thoroughly pissed. 'Did you see which way she went?'

'No. I didn't. And you really should watch your language.' Absol was amused at the situations humans could get themselves into; they were such a primitive species.

'Oh well' Dante said. 'We better get back on the road to OrangeBurg'

'Can I stay out of the PokeBall?' Absol asked.

'Sure' Dante replied.

The two made their way down the road. --------------
From a few hundred feet away, Abbey watched from behind a tree. 'How dare he!' She thought. 'How could he say such horrible things to me? And how did he figure out I was stalking him.' She didn't like then word stalking, but there was no other word for it. She had to follow him until he realized that he loved her as much as she loved him.

She quietly followed the two like a predator and it's prey..

Author note: FINALLY DONE!!!!! (Sighs loudly and does dance of victory around room) Ok so I think that was a good chapter. Maybe a bit heavy on the language, but that's why I rated it PG-13. So to conclude: Evolutions for Absol. I'm completely amenable to that idea. But I can't think of a name or get a fixed idea in my head of what it would look like. So if you or anyone who reads this gets an idea about either of those or a pokedex entry, please tell me in a review. And that's about it. R & R and enjoy..
