The Pokemon Adventure of Dante Merton By: Chaotic-Swordsman-Brad

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

Author Note: Ok, I'm finally back. First I went on vacation and then I had midterms. So I had no chance to update. I'd would as always, like to thank my reviewers. Now, on to the reviews. Informant, I thank your personally for your review, I had no idea I came across as arrogant and too full of myself. My apologies. And, as to your other comment, I do not consider criticism to be flaming. Flames are (to me) Mindless bashing of my fic. You can criticize my fic, but have a reason. Tell me your reason too. You can hate my fic, just tell me why. Ok thanx for your comments. Moving on, 'You figure it out' you are obviously my cousin Mary, one of the few people I've told about this and the only one who reads fanfiction. So there. Dragon Shadow1 I am going to use your Abscar idea, and as an evolution for Absol, but probably not in the way you're thinking. You'll see, eventually. To all, no more evolutions for Absol. I have them all firmly in mind, so just send in other stuff like original Pokemon and trainers. Check previous chapters for the requirements. OK, I think that's one of the shortest author notes I've ever written.

~Inner monologue~

-------------------- Chapter 8

Dante was the first to wake up the next morning. Absol was asleep on his back idly pawing at something imaginary. The triplets were asleep in various positions from Cerulea in a little ball to Jade, who was sprawled out all over the place.

By the time Dante had fulfilled some calls of nature and washed up with a little help from Horsea's Water Gun. Scarlet and Absol were awake and Scarlet's Charmander was munching on some PokeFood.

*Are you gonna let me hunt, or are you gonna make me eat that shit?* Absol spoke disdainfully.

*No, c'mon you freak of nature.*

*Said the evil-eyed freak*

*Stupid cat.*

*REALLY stupid human who can't even communicate mentally.*

*Stupid Psychic kitty.*

*Go ahead and call me kitty again, you'll never say another word.*

Scarlet stared bewildered at Dante, he and the Absol seemed to be in a staring match while changing their facial expression as if in a conversation. "Weird" she said.

*Ugly-ass son of a monkey!* Dante Spoke

*What the fuck does that mean?* Absol retorted.

*Alright kitty! Time to die!*

*Bring it on! You red-eyed ball of flesh*

Scarlet nearly shorted out her few brain cells trying to figure out what was going on, when suddenly Dante and Absol leapt at each other. They collided in mid-air and hit the ground in a ball of dust when it cleared; Absol was gnawing on Dante's side while Dante had him in a headlock.

A yawn and sigh from Cerulea brought both back to their senses. They disconnected immediately and took stances calm composure and utter indifference. Absol was licking his paw, pretending to be cleaning himself, and Dante was twiddling his thumbs. Cerulea pushed herself up and looked around dazedly.

"What the fuck is going on?" She said.

"We, uh, we were just leaving to get some food for him." Dante said, nodding towards Absol.

"We got PokeFood right here." Scarlet said.

"Yeah, he was completely wild when I caught him. So he prefers to hunt."

*CAUGHT me?*

*Yeah, sorta.*

*I hate humans.*

*That's because we're so much better.*

*In what way? Can you create a ball of pure shadow and hurl it at someone? Can you spew beams of pure element from your mouth? Can YOU perform physical attacks such as quick attack, slash, take down, or double- edge? I think not.*

*Uhhhhhhhh. No. But, I can shove you into a fist-sized Pokeball and throw you into a lake.*

*Point taken.*

"Isn't that illegal?" Cerulea asked, "I thought you could only catch Pokemon on trainer zones."

"Trainer zones?"

"Did you just wake up one day and say 'I think I'm gonna be a Pokemaster'." Cerulea said incredulously.

"Yeah, it was about two days ago actually." Dante said, causing Cerulea and Scarlet to sweat-drop.

"OK, then I'll explain." Cerulea said. "On a trainer's journey to become a master, he or she travels to different cities for gym badges. Each badge gets more and more difficult to acquire, and trainers need more and more Pokemon to get past these difficulties. Once they have a sufficient amount of Pokemon, they train a choice few (up to six) of them to handle any situation and thus get more badges, but, I'm getting ahead of myself. Back to the 'getting the Pokemon' part, in between each city, there is a specific route that trainers must use. These routes go through dangerous territory, each territory is monitored by the league and filled with Pokemon, but these Pokemon are partly domesticated in most cases, and many of them are about as tame as the Pokemon from other regions. These are the places where Raienn trainers catch their Pokemon. They are called 'Trainer Zones'. Got it?"

"Yeah. I think." Dante replied, *I thought she was an airhead.*

*No, that's Scarlet. I think she's the type of person who would poke herself in the eye with a stick just to know if its sharp.*

*Oh, OK.*

"Why is everyone up so early?" Jade said groggily, lifting her head up from the sleeping bag.

"Better question:," a new voice said, everyone turned to look down the road where the voice came from. "Who's gonna battle me?"

It was a girl, a girl with strange silver and sapphire eyes.

"By the way, my names Topaz, Sapphire Topaz."

-------------------- Author note

OK, this was short as hell, I don't know if it's longer or shorter than my first chapter. Well, I'm tired, I just finished my mid-terms, and I need a rest, expect another long wait for the next chapter.
