Chapter 1: A New Friend

"Ahh… all this fresh mountain air is relaxing… it's all peaceful and quiet. Nothing can ruin this…" You say this as something starts watching you. "I'm just going to sit under this tree and sleep for a bit…" You hear a growl as you sit down. "Hello?" Nothing responds. "I guess it was nothing." The Pokemon grows closer to you as he lets out another growl. "Hello? I know you're there…" You see something move out of the corner of your eye. "I saw you! There's no use in hiding now! Come out now!" Another growl comes from behind you. "There you are! Huh? That's weird… where did it go… I heard it behind me…" You turn around to see a Big Aggron in front of you. "Ahh! Holy shit! Umm… s...sorry Aggron… I didn't mean to trespass in your territory… I'll just leave you alone… sorry for bothering you…" The Aggron looks at you with an expressionless face… he stares directly into your eyes… making you feel uneasy. "W...what's with all the staring? Umm…" The Aggron walks closer to you and sits down. "Why are you here on my mountain?" The Aggron says with a deep but somewhat soothing voice. "I… umm…" You go quiet and look away quickly. "There's no need to be nervous… I'm not going to hurt you… I promise you that." You look at him with tears in your eyes and a soft hint of blush on your face. "I… was… just looking f...for a relaxing place t...to be for awhile… and you mountain was the only thing I could find…" He smiles and scoots closer to you. "I understand. My life sometimes gets annoying… being up on this mountain… all alone… it gets kinda depressing at times. You're welcome to stay up here with me… I would love the company." You look at him and start to cry. "I...I… don't know what to say… you're being so nice to me… no one has ever been so kind to me before…" He raises his hand and sticks one of his claws out. "Aww… There's no need to cry little one…" He moves his claw up to your face and slowly and gently wipes the tears off your face. "If you need someone to talk to… I'm here for you. How about we go to my cave. It's just a short walk from here. You up for it?" You just nod your head. "Alright…" He stands up and looks at you. "Is something wrong… Aggron?" He says nothing, then walks closer to you and picks you up without warning. "No need for you to walk… I'll carry you there, okie. The name is Steel by the way." You look at him and blush a bit. "Th...thanks… my legs are tired anyway…" He giggles and starts to walk.
