Hi,

This is my first try on a Gary/Shigeru fanfic...as a matter of fact, it's my first time writing any story. So, I hope you won't frame me. Well about the story, this starts after the entire Pokémon series. I got the inspirations from the albums of Nightwish.

I do not own Pokémon though I would like to. But who wouldn't.

So on with the story.

+-----------------------------+

Chapter 1

An Inevitable Encounter

+-----------------------------+

In the sheltering shade of the forest

Calling claiming silence

Accompanied only by the full moon

The howling of a night wolf

And the path under my bare feet...

...The Elevenpath

In such lonely restless night, walked a loner, thinking of the past trails and attempts, as walking through the cold nostalgic uncarved path, wishing for the love he's been waiting since his childhood. A tall figure passed with his spiky upturned hair, soft lavender T-shirt and a deep blue pant. The silver moonlight had made him look more pure and handsome. As he wondered about his past, was startled by a painful howl. He was as if drifted towards the screech. When he reached the spot, he saw a beautiful Absol, in its silver-blue fur, with desperate eyes waiting for some ones help. Beside her lay three pokéballs, lost as the dark pokémon. He, realizing, quickly went to console only to be dragged to another spot where, among the debris laid a boy, naked and blood stained. The wounds were still fresh but the blood dried. He quickly ran towards him, picked him up and ran towards his home (which was not far). Absol took hold of the pokéballs and ran along with him.

He laid the body in his bathtub, cleaned his wounds, gave him a bath, mended him and placed him on his bed after clothing him. Absol looked at him with concerned looks.

"Don't worry he'll be fine.", he said as he pulled Absol into a hug, "How beautiful you are! He must have raised you with utmost care." Absol nodded in agreement.

He called upon his Umbreon and asked it to accompany her. He sat near the boy, who looked even more like an angel than before. As he wondered about what might have happened, the mid-night slumber took over him as he darted into a sleep.

"Once I had a dream

And this is it

Once there was a childs dream

One night the clock struck twelve

The window open wide

Once there was a childs heart

The age I learned to fly

And took a step outside

Once I knew all the tales

Its time to turn back time

Follow the pale moonlight

Once I wished for this night

Faith brought me here

Its time to cut the rope and fly

Fly to a dream

Far across the sea

All the burdens gone

Open the chest once more

Dark chest of wonders

Seen through the eyes

Of the one with pure heart

Once so long ago

The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me

This night will bring him back to me..."

He never had such a peaceful dream in his life because it didn't involved his painful past. The refreshing morning sun revitalized him as he woke up from his slumber. He gazed upon his guest beside him whose pulchritude soothed him. He leaned down to him to check him and was shocked to feel his body cold. Absol was sitting beside her trainer accompanied by an Umbreon. They had a herd with them which he thought should be given to him. But how?

"I can't just give him the medicine. He's unconscious and could not eat it. So there's only one way... " he doubted and then took the herb, chewed it (of course after cleaning himself) and slowly placed his mouth over the other boy and fed him the medicine orally. The sensation made him slowly loose his control as he deepened the kiss with the unknown. He could feel the other silver thawed hair boy's body getting warmed. If he hadn't been nudged by his Umbreon, he would never have parted. As he kept the boy's body and soul together, the boy warmed up and slowly opened his eyes. His icy blue eyes focused upon the new figure in front of him, looking blankly, slowly gazing upon the elegant figure in front of him.

"Are you alright? Are the wounds hurting too much?" asked the relieved spiky brown haired boy. Realizing that he hasn't introduced himself, "Oh! Sorry I haven't introduced myself. I am Gary Oak." he said proudly. "...and you are..?" Absol jumped upon the boy's lap and licked to show her affection. The boy didn't show any emotions. This startled Gary as he waited for the response to his earlier question. After getting no reply for quite sometime he decided to explain what happened last night. "You were injured badly and was blood shot. Your Absol guided me to you and I brought you to my house. How are you feeling now?" as Gary reached out to check his body temperature which was surprisingly normal. The boy could only speak "Gary" before he fainted on his savior's chest. The Pokémon were worried and started to make noise as Gary who himself shocked, calmed them and laid the boy on his bed.

So how about the first chapter. Please review. This is my first time so it might not be up to your expectations but next time I'll try to make it to you. Goodbye until next time.
