The Pokemon Adventure of Dante Merton

By: Chaotic-Swordsman-Brad

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, but Dante and Raienn are mine.

Author Note: Alright, this is at chapter 4 and still going strong. It seems my few readers are liking the story of Dante and Absol. I'd like to thank TopazSoarhire and CheesyCheesePuffs87 for becoming my second and third official readers. Sorry by the way if I got your names wrong. And of course Dragon Shadow1 for posting his reviews too. I just updated chapter three. I had forgotten to put in a description of Abbey the stalker in it. Also, evolutions for Absol, I can't think of a name or get a fixed idea in my head of what they 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. OK I guess that's all. On to the fic!

'Indicates Mindspeech'

-------------------- Chapter 4

"I wonder what our first battle will be like." Dante asked. "I've never actually trained a Pokemon before. I was one of the kids who went to public school instead of Pokemon Academy."

'You don't have to speak out loud' Absol mindspoke, 'and so what if you have never done it before. You're gonna be the Prof.'s Pokemaster'

'Oh, don't remind me.' Dante mindspoke back, 'That guy was completely incompetent. And only got his job because of his name.'

'Oh how hard can it be?' Absol asked, 'Most other Pokemon are incompetent compared to us Absol anyway. I can handle anything that comes our way.'

'Oh really?' Dante said sarcastically 'Then why did I have to save your life after you crawled out of the jungle all bloodied up? What happened? You fall in a rosebush?'

'Well, if you must know. My pack banished me from ever setting foot in there again. It's not a memory I cherish, its one I'm trying to forget'

'Really?' Now Dante was interested, 'Were they the one's that roughed you up?'

'Yeah, they were. Now if you'll drop the subject, I'll let you keep your lips.'

'Touchy, touchy. I'll drop the subject, if you'll just tell me what happen-' Dante cut off abruptly as a Pokemon flew at him from one of the trees lining the road. It was a small brown and white bird with a duck's feet and bill. It carried a sprig of Green onions in one of its wings.

"Farfetch'd far fet farfetch'd!" It squawked.

'It says that you're trespassing on its territory and to leave now if you want to live.'

"Oh, It really says that huh." Dante smirked, and pointed his PokePuter at it. The monotone kicked in immediately.

"Farfetche'd. The ______ Pokemon. The sprig of Green Onions is its weapon. It is used much like a metal sword. (Author Note: I lost my copy of Pokemon silver and red so I don't have the Farfetch'd name thingy. You know, like 'Absol. The DISASTER Pokemon.' The rest of it I got online.) The PokePuter kicked off.

"Farfetch'd huh?" Dante grinned, "Pokeball go." He said, enlarging one from his belt and tossing it at Farfetch'd. It bounced off its head and the red capture beam sucked it inside. It rolled around for about a second before exploding into a million pieces and there stood the Farfetch'd, now very pissed.

"Farfetch'd far fetch far'd" It growled.

'It says now you're dead' Absol said, taking an attack stance.

The Farfetch'd flew at Dante, trying to hit him with a drill peck attack. Dante ducked at the last minute to avoid getting impaled upon its bill. He was not sure how such a round bill could become so sharp, but he knew instinctively that if he got hit by it he'd be in a lot of pain. The Farfetch'd spun in mid-air and tried to hit Dante with a cut attack, using its onions'.

"Absol. Slash attack now." Dante commanded.

Absol leapt into the air with its claws outstretched. The two passed each other in mid-air. Sort of like phasing through each other. They landed on the ground facing away from each other. Then the Farfetch'd gave out a squawk of defeat as two large gashes suddenly appeared on it, spraying some blood and a lot of feathers.

Dante decided to try catching it again. "Pokeball go!" He shouted as the ball left his hand. It hit the wounded Pokemon and sucked it inside. This time the ball shook for a few seconds until the capture light came on. "ALRIGHT!" Dante yelled, "My first Pokemon!"

'I thought I was your first Pokemon.' Absol said.

"Oh, yeah, You're right." Dante said lamely.

'Anyway why'd you need to catch it? I'm really all you need to become a Pokemaster. You saw that battle. He couldn't even put up a fight.'

'If he couldn't put up a fight, why is your face bleeding?' Dante asked smugly. Indeed, there was a large cut just below and to the right of his right eye. It was letting out a small but steady stream of blood.

'Ah, tis but a flesh wound' Absol replied. But still had to nurse his cut delicately before they could continue.

And so.. With two Pokemon in his collection, Dante continued on the road to OrangeBurg and his first badge.

--------------------
Abbey watched from a few hundred feet away. She was hiding behind a bush. As she watched her true love in his first Pokemon Battle. She nearly screamed when the Farfetch'd attacked him. But she knew in her heart that he'd win and he'd win for her. He was going to be the greatest trainer the world has ever seen, and she was going to be by his side when it happened, whether he knew it now or not. He would be hers..

-------------------- Three hours later..

Dante had come to the bridge that eventually led to Orangeburg. And now he was getting cold feet. This will be the first time he had left home in his life. He had never really thought about leaving Redroe City. He had always thought he would meet a girl who wasn't affected by his eyes, settle down get a decent job, and maybe raise a family. He never really had the grandiose dreams most kids had, like of becoming a movie or sports star. Now he was on his way to become a Pokemaster? It didn't make sense. This kind of stuff wasn't at all what he had planned. But, then again, he had been thinking about maybe changing his dream when he had first met Absol. Oh well. Maybe this was just fate. He stepped onto the bridge.

Almost immediately, a blast of water hit him in the side of the head. He looked in the direction it came from. And saw a small, blue seahorse laughing at him. He just as quickly pointed his PokePuter at it. It chimed up in a dorky monotone. Damn he hated that voice.

"Horsea. The Dragon Pokemon." (Author note: I'm not kidding, my sapphire version says that in its Pokedex.) "If Horsea senses danger, it will reflexively spray a dense black ink from its mouth and try to escape. This Pokemon swims cleverly by flapping the fins on its back."

"Well, Horsea. You're gonna be my next Pokemon." Dante said confidently, "Absol, use shadow ball."

'Right.' Absol said as his eye's started to glow. A small ball of purple flame appeared next to his head. A short flick of his neck, and the shadow ball flew at the Horsea.

The attack hit head on. The Horsea didn't even see it coming; it was too busy laughing at Dante. The force of the blow made Horsea bounce across the water like a skipping stone.

"Alright you're mine!" Dante shouted triumphantly, he tossed a pokeball at it. The ball didn't even shake before the capture light came on. He had caught his second Pokemon.

'Do we need to go through this conversation again? You don't need any other Pokemon.'

'Aw, shut up Absol.' Dante was starting to get annoyed with his partner's arrogance.

Together they continued along the bridge. Arguing between themselves.

-------------------- Pokemon Center at OrangeBurg

Nurse Joy and Chansey both approached Dante with his three Pokeballs. Chansey had her constant smile on. Nurse Joy had a thoughtful look on her face. "Mister Merton? Your Pokemon are ready." She said.

"Ok, thanks." Dante replied.

"You're the one that Professor Palm chose to be his Pokemaster. Right?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"You should head to the Gym. You'll need at least eight badges to enter the Pokemon league."

"Yeah, um, where is the Gym?"

"It's down the street. You can't miss it. It's the biggest building in this entire town."

"Um, Ok thanks." Dante left the PokeCenter, and headed toward the Gym. It really was the biggest building in the town. He read the sign out front. It read: OrangeBurg Pokemon gym. Leader: Charlotte.

Dante opened the door and walked in..

-------------------- Author Note: OK chapter four is done, and Dante finally has some more Pokemon. Please do NOT post a review or send me an e-mail saying that I got the Pokedex entry wrong or that this Pokemon doesn't have that move. Stuff like that just pisses me off. The Pokedex entries are straight from my Pokemon Sapphire version or from the Official Pokemon website's Pokedex. Other than that I must once again thank Dragon Shadow1, TopazSoarhire, and CheesyCheesePuffs87. Thank you for your support and sorry if I got you names wrong. Please continue reading and reviewing. And for anyone who is reading and not reviewing, PLEASE R & R. Ok that's all. Bye!
