This is the story is inspired by my zangoose from pokemon ruby. I lost the game cartage a few months a while ago and I just thought of this. The nicknames are Chiko the Blazeikin, Natasha the peliper and Xenos the zangoose. It's from Xeno's POV.

A Black Sakura

Part 1

I looked at the ever shifting clouds of Hoen's sky. My master hadn't been here for so long. She never left me in a pokemon box. She called it pokemon wherehouseing or just inhumane. I didn't know what she meant. I never did. She spoke her mind here. Only here and she didn't care if we understood. Just that we would care. We cared so we were all happy. She was getting fairly old now though. She hadn't come back for a very long time.

I needed to get my mind off of her. I envied her but that's what I liked about her. I sighed and looked to my side at the flowers that graced the half of Ever Grande City with a pokemon center. They waved in an ever-blowing wind. Everything was permanent in this world. The wind would always blow the sun would always shine even when my good friend Kougre tried to make it rain.

Suddenly a harsh gust blew in her direction. It was Chiko riding on Natasha.

"Yo! Chiko, Natasha where have you been?" I called.

Chiko leapt off Natasha and landed gracefully in front of me. Natasha swooped to the ground elegantly on her aquamarine tipped wings. I thought absentmindedly why I thought they were so amazing.

"Hey Xenos, we were off visiting the other zangoose over in Fallarbour Town. You should pay them a visit. You might find your family." Chiko said.

"I might as well. I'm almost level 100 so I might as well save the last five levels for a bit later." I replied. I looked to Natasha. She didn't ever say very much but her eyes held a strange and incredible wisdom. "What are you going to do now, Chiko?" I asked.

"Do you have to ask? I'm going to try to climb to the top of this mountain." He said with his usual huge ego. He had never been able to get to the top of the Evergrande Mountain. It just kept going up and up forever. I chuckled at his enthusiasm.

"What about you, Natasha?" I asked

"I'll go meditate over in Winowa's gym." She said. She really admired Winowa, even though she was well over level 70. I shrugged and dove into the waterfall as Natasha flew off into the omnipresent high noon lighting.

I didn't really know how to swim but I could dog paddle until I ran into one of my master's water types to ferry me somewhere. I let the waterfall take me into the ocean's depth. I swam to the surface of the chilled water. Sure enough Kyogre surfaced about two yards away from me. That created a few giant waves but nothing I couldn't handle.

"Need a lift?" He asked me in his incredibly deep voice. I wondered why master never traded him back to her sapphire version for Gordon. I liked it this way though. I sought power and so did Gordon. There was a huge difference between us though. I wanted strength as a goal. Gordon merely wanted to crush everything in his path.

"Sure, thanks. To Lilly Cove City Coco." I said. She wasn't named but Coco was a suitable name for the friendly giant fish. I was the only one that called her that.

It seemed like just seconds later when Coco deposited me at Lilly Cove City's beach. "Thanks Coco. You better hide. You know how humans are about seeing legendary." Coco grunted in reply as she dove under the surf. I quickly made a dash for some trees and began to jump from one to another. I kept that up enter I was well out of the city's boundary. I knew that Team Aqua had once had a master ball and I could get caught with a master ball. Without a trainer around any pokemon could be captured. I had never seen a trainer in the forest route I was taking that lead straight to Fallarbor. It wasn't on any pokenav so as far as most trainers knew it didn't exist.

I sighed, panting as the forest began to subside. The trees thinned and became harsh mountain terrain. I smiled. It was much easier former to climb and jump up a mountain than squeeze through dense forest. Once I got over the mountain's peak I was greeted by harsh sandy winds. It was the dessert. The only dessert in the whole known pokemon world. It was inconveniently located in between Lilly Cove and Fallarbour towns. I could have taken the easy way out and used the routes on a pokenav but I liked a challenge. I began to hop down the mountainside. The hot sand battered me relentlessly. I was grateful for it though. Without it I would be easy prey for wandering trainers. I was too cautious to risk that one of them might have a master ball. With one of them anyone could catch any pokemon even if it was owned.

I looked up to see Fallarbour town in the distance. I was really heading to the field behind the city. That was where zangoose mainly lived. Also seviper witch I toughly enjoyed beating to a pulp.

Just as I got to where I was going, a pink blur zoomed by my vision. The blur stopped and turned around to face the direction it had been coming. The blur was a very short and strange looking girl. She had a skitty's catlike ears. She also had a long Skitty club like tail. Her tail, ears, and hair were all hot pink. Her skin was at least as much scars as normal skin. She also had a strange looking red collar around her neck the strangest part about her was that her right eye was heavily bandaged.

I was distracted from the strange girl, when a group of team magma grunts filed out of nearby Meteor Falls. They all had very powerful looking guns. They were all aimed at the skitty girl. "Freeze, Experiment SK! We have reinforcements ready, and means to end your life here and now!" Shouted the apparent leader of the Magma group.

The skitty girl finally spoke. "Oh I'm so scared of your giant guns. Oh come now you think those things can even touch me, let alone kill me? Go on and shoot. Then it won't seem as evil when I kill you!" she said with sarcasm only in the first sentence. The Magma leader gave a signal and all at once the guns fired. The skitty girl lifted the bandages from her eye. All the bullets stopped in midair and turned to sand. She stood unharmed.

I was amazed. This all was like a scene from some strange and twisted movie. I strained to see what was behind the skitty girl's bandages but couldn't. She chuckled soft and menacingly. She turned to the wall of rock surrounding the entrance to Meteor Falls. There was a giant bang and rocks fell, trapping the entire team magma group.

"We need backup, now! She's way stronger than predicted!" Shouted the magma squad leader into a COM device.

The girl looked at the magma squad, now all trapped under rocks. She chuckled darkly. "Now know what it's like to be hurt when you can't get away, just like what you did to me! Blizzard!" She cried with triumph and an unhidden lust for revenge. Giant daggers of ice appeared around her and the air took on a chill.

I was frozen to the bone. It wasn't just the girl's words; it was how she said them. She had spoke with hatred and the voice of a tortured soul. She gave a demonic smirk and with a wave of her hand the daggers rained down on team magma.

"Gahhhhhhhh!" She screamed in agony as her collar began to spark. The ice daggers fell to the ground harmlessly. She fell to the ground unconscious.

One of the magma grunts threw down a poke ball with an abra in it. "Come on let's get out of here before that freak wakes up!" he said. The psychic pokemon teleported all of the team magma squad away.

I looked around and cautiously approached the skitty girl. She smelled familiar, very familiar. She smelled like my master only more like a skitty. Then I realized something, the magma leader had called her, SK. That was my master's initial SK Sakura Kokako. I sighed and picked her up. I couldn't leave her here. It was getting late and cold. I noticed that she was holding something. I cautiously pried her fist open. A card fell to the ground. I looked at it more closely. I fell backwards early dropping the girl in my arms. It was a trainer card reading Sakura Kokako. It was my master's trainer card, definitely not a fake.
