Hello everyone, I am back and this time, I am creating a new chapter for Pokémon Journey
Now that the First story has already been written, now I will create more stories for not just this series, but also the other series that I will write for the future so with that announcement out of the way let's start with the second chapter.
Johto Experience Chp. 2: The Fiery Duo
This story begins at night on Professor Populus's home Island where all the Pokémon are fast asleep. However, a shadowy Pokémon rustle in the bushes and runs down the beach slopes and managed to jump into a cave. Once in the cave, he spots Charmeleon sleeping sounding and in an instant, the Shadowy Pokémon decided to move Charmeleon's arm and sleeps as Charmeleon's arm is around the Shadowy Pokémon and sleeps with him.
The Next Morning
"Chaaaaarrrrr!", Charmeleon yawned as he wakes up and then got startled as he sees another Pokémon sleeping with him and then he figures out that it was Houndour, the Dark Pokémon.
"Charrr…", Charmeleon sighed as he noticed that Houndour is waking up, and waited until he is fully awake.
"Rawr, ahahaha", Houndour turned around to see Charmeleon and greeted him with a good morning and a lick of pleasure.
"Char-Charmeleon!?", Charmeleon wants to know why is he in his home.
"Rrrawr, Rawr-Rawr", Houndour stated that he now lives with him since the main incident and the fact that he is now his leader of their own pack.
And with that, he got up and went to outside of the cave and howl ominously, stating that this is Charmeleon's Pack territory and anyone who dares enter the area will be attacked.
"Char?", Charmeleon was confused of what is happening and before he was about to talk, Houndour heard the Professor's calling about breakfast and with that Houndour jumped out of the Cave and landed on the sands.
"Rrrawrr!", Houndour then calls for Charmeleon to come with him to eat breakfast with him and finally he runs off.
"Charrr…", Charmeleon was confused overall, but after what he did, he is not too happy with the results. At the same time, he did save everyone from him and he is now happy to see that Houndour is now a lot cheerier towards him and his master and is trying to get along with everyone else. Once he got down from the cliffs, he begins to remember everything about Houndour.
Flashback
I managed to return from the Johto region, and I was exhausted after that long Journey. However, I did visit the Island again to meet with everyone.
"EEVEE!", Eevee jumped onto me as I was about to say hello. The other Pokémon came walking and hugged me as well.
"Hi everyone I'm glad to see you all", I hugged them back to show them some gratitude as well. Once I got out of their grip, I decided to send out my Johto team.
Pikachu was the first to appear, but he decided to come out first so that he can meet with his companions once again before they will be in awe once I send out their new companions. So, one-by-one, I sent out my Johto team.
"Baaaaaa", the first Pokémon that appeared was a sheep, and then she introduced herself as Mareep, the Wool Pokémon. She started talking on how she met me and hope that they can be good friends.
"Skaaaaa- . . . skaaa", Next caught a lot of my Pokémon in awe as they see as a metal Fearow flying at a great speed, but unfortunately, couldn't land well at all and falls beak first to the ground.
My Pokémon were wary of what he will do as they are still traumatized after the Fearow attack, but once he introduced to himself as Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokémon, and when Mareep told them that he is kind, their suspicion was gone and they welcomed him as their companion.
"MARILLLL!", before I got the Pokéball, Marill, the Aqua Mouse Pokémon, has appeared before me and jumped onto her companions, finally meeting them in her new evolution. She is now a little taller and now a little rounder of her body but her tail is now smaller.
"Charr!", Charmeleon was very delighted to see Marill again and how she has grown. Marill was also delighted to meet Charmeleon and Eevee once more again.
As all my Pokémon are chatting, Pikachu turned to see me and looking at me as if I am forgetting someone. Sadly, he is right, I am forgetting someone but at the same time, I feel like it is not a good idea to summon him due to his attitude towards anyone, including myself.
"Hey guys", I wanted to see if I could get their attention so that I can tell them that I have another Pokémon. But I also want to warn them that he is very dangerous and he doesn't like making friends with anyone. "Do you guys want to meet our final companion?".
Most of my companion, except for Mareep, and Skarmory, and even Eevee didn't want to see that new Pokémon since he is worried after what Mareep and Skarmory telling him a story of their encounters of the final companion.
Once they understood, they still want to see their new companion, and so, I summoned the final Pokémon and immediately, I got bit in the arm. "Owww" while grabbing my arm, the summoned Pokémon, which is Houndour, turns to see the other Pokémon and got ready for a battle stance. "Skaaa", "Bbbaaaa", "Marill", Skarmory, Mareep and even Marill are now ready to protect their friends. "Drooowwww", However Drowzee decided that he will fight and before everyone else was about to protest, Drowzee started using Confusion on Houndour. Houndour is now engulf with pink energy surrounding around him, but for some reason, Houndour is not being thrown or is being affected at all. Drowzee was in total shock and at that moment, Houndour charged at Drowzee and bit him in the arm and threw him away as then Drowzee rolled away and Drowzee was shocked that he lost his pride. So, I ran towards Drowzee to try to heal him, while the other 3 Pokémon are ready to battle and so the they begin to charge at Houndour to restrain him. I turned to get my Pokeball and return Houndour back but once Houndour returned in the Pokeball, he came out once again. Now knowing that Houndour will not listen to me, I gave my Pokémon my regard to restrain Houndour.
Skarmory began to fly ahead and his wings started to glow and become as hard as steel, which is Steel Wing, and was about to contact with Houndour, only to jump up before the wings contacted him. However, what he did not noticed is that Mareep is on top of Skarmory and that is when she used ThunderShock and managed to hit Houndour. But in one short shock, Houndour managed to handle the ThunderShock with a powerful Flamethrower that overpowered not only the ThunderShock but also burned both Mareep and Skarmory together and was burned as they fall to the ground, now that Houndour has finished off these two, he turns around, only to get hit by Water Gun from Marill. Now they meet face to face for their battle.
Marill starts to charge at Houndour with a Headbutt. Houndour managed to dodge it and bit her tail as he throws her away, however unlike Drowzee, Marill began to roll faster and faster until she is spinning so fast that it charges at Houndour and was hit and badly. The other Pokémon were at awe and I nodded as Marill used Rollout on Houndour, which it always works to restrain him.
"Rraar", Houndour fell and was hurt, once Marill noticed that Houndour was down, she turned to tell me to return Houndour back, but before I was about to raise my Pokeball, I saw Houndour behind Marill and I told her, "Look Out!" Marill turned but was hit by Houndour with his own new attack, Feint Attack.
"Maaaarrrrriiillll!", Marill fell as she was badly injured, now Houndour was about to use another Flamethrower on Marill, but just then.
"CHHHAAAAARRRRRRMMMMEEEEEELLLLEEEEEOOOONNN", Charmeleon used Flamethrower of his own and intercepted Houndour's Flamethrower. "Rrawr?", Houndour now had his attention on Charmeleon, who is readying himself for the fight as well.
"Marill, Marill-Marill", Marill tries to warn Charmeleon of two things, one being that she didn't want him to fight as he is their responsibility and the second thing is-
Before saying the second thing, Charmeleon is now using Flamethrower at Houndour and was being affected until something is happening. "RRRAAAWWWRRRR", Houndour is absorbing the fire and once being absorbed, Houndour sent his own Flamethrower, but only stronger, and it overpowered Charmeleon's Flamethrower and blasted Charmeleon to a tree that is now burning.
"MMAAAARRRIIILLLLLLL!", Marill calls out Charmeleon as he is about to stand up only for Houndour to get hit by a Feint Attack. Charmeleon is sent back further into the forest.
"Charrr… CHHHARRR CHARMELEON-CHARMELEON", Charmeleon is warning the Pokémon living the forest to get away as he is fighting someone that will burn the entire forest. Once he finished speaking, the wild Pokémon began to run away.
As for Houndour, he began to smell Charmeleon's scent with his move Odor Sleuth, and once he senses Charmeleon's presence, he began to charge into the forest, once getting there, he was about to Bite onto Charmeleon but what he didn't noticed is that Charmeleon was prepared and use Slash at Houndour, sending him back. "Rrawr", Houndour got back and used Feint Attack and despite Charmeleon dodging, he still got hit.
"Chaaarrr", He fell back but once he got back to his feet, he ends up seeing Houndour is about to use Flamethrower and Charmeleon is warning him not to use Flamethrower in the forest, but it was too late.
"RRRRAAAAAWWWRRRR", Houndour used Flamethrower and without a doubt it not only hit Charmeleon and was pushed back, the flames hit the trees and the forest began to burn and started a forest fire.
A lot of the forest Pokémon are running away and now that I see the forest fire, I told Marill to use Water Gun to put out the forest fire. Then Professor Populus came out to see the forest being burned and thus, he got his Pokeball and summoned Kabutops, the Shellfish Pokémon, "Alright Kabutops, use Mud Shot", "KAAAABBBUUUUTOPS", Kabutops sends out a stream of mud from his mouth and the fire is being put out easily.
All my other Pokémon are helping them getting away from the forest and the fire. Meanwhile Drowzee, finally regaining his confidence easily, is using Confusion to pick up sea water and lifting it up to drop it to the trees. Once they were about to finish the fire, a Dragon Rage shot through the air and in a few seconds, Houndour has fallen to the ground, fainted, as Charmeleon got out of the forest, injured but fine. Everyone was happy to see Charmeleon once they managed to put out the fire.
A while later, Charmeleon was resting and they wanted to know what happened and how he managed to defeat Houndour.
"Charr, Charr, Charmeleon-Charmeleon-Charmeleon", Charmeleon told them that, when the fire started, Charmeleon was upset to see the forest Pokémon's home was destroyed. He turns to Houndour with full rage while Houndour still growls as usual, once the battle begins again, Charmeleon was once again hit by Feint Attack again and then Charmeleon sparked in his mind as he remembered about Skarmory's Steel Wing, he wonders if he can do the same thing with his claws. Houndour has finally decided to finish Charmeleon with his powerful Flamethrower, and with that, Charmeleon began to concentrate his claws while dodging the Flamethrower. Once Houndour sees an opening, he used Feint Attack once again, however before contacting, Charmeleon's Claws began to glow and once that happened the claws contacted the Feint Attack, in which caused Houndour to be pushed back while Charmeleon felt his claws got more powerful and so he charged at Houndour who was about to get up, and was struck down with a powerful Slash, and then another Slash that sends Houndour flying. Houndour sees this an opportunity to use Flamethrower, however, Charmeleon was already prepared to use Dragon Rage, and at the right moment, Charmeleon used Dragon Rage on the Flamethrower. At first, both attacks are evenly match but little by little, the Flamethrower begin to push the Dragon Rage back and then Charmeleon moved his tail to swirl it around to create a more powerful Dragon Rage with a combination of some fire boost and the Dragon Rage managed to push the Flamethrower back to the point where the Dragon Rage was powerful enough to hit Houndour and send him flying out of the forest. With that concluded the fight.
Everyone, including myself and Professor Populus were amazed of what Charmeleon did. Since this is the first time Houndour lost against his opponents. Charmeleon was relieved and once the talk ended, Houndour gets up but he falls back down as he was tired. Professor Populus told me to return him to his Pokeball but before I was about to return him, Charmeleon stopped me as he wants to take Houndour back to his home. Everyone, especially Marill and Eevee are shocked that he would say that. As for me, I know that Charmeleon has a reason to keep him out but I didn't question him so I put away Houndour's Pokeball and I told Charmeleon, "Ok I will let you, I know you can succeed on being friends with Houndour".
And so, the forest is half safe so a lot of forest Pokémon has returned to their forest home while the ones who did lost their home, went to the Hospital where Drowzee was taking care of the sick Pokémon before. I have already left after fixing the forest along with my Pokémon, Professor Populus and ever Professor Morus, another professor who is my best friend's professor.
As for Houndour, he woke up as Charmeleon was caring for him, at first Houndour was about to attack but then he stopped as he sees Charmeleon's eyes on him if he tries to attack. Charmeleon is not only healing him, but also chatting with Houndour, hoping to be friends.
1 Week Later
"Rraawwrr", Houndour was finally on his feet, jumping around and Charmeleon was looking at Houndour with amazement, however, Houndour turns around to see Charmeleon and was about to use Flamethrower at him, as that is about to happen, Charmeleon knew that he will attack so he sighs and charges up with his own Flamethrower. Once fully charged up, both Pokémon used their Flamethrower and Charmeleon's Flamethrower overpowered Houndour's Flamethrower and hit Houndour. Charmeleon knew that Houndour is now stronger but then he noticed that he didn't moved at all.
"….. Rawr!", In Charmeleon's confusion, Houndour did not attack but instead bowed down to him. And once Houndour got back up, his face was so different as he seems more cheerful. With that, Charmeleon and Houndour have now became good friends and now he began to help other to the point where all the Johto companions were surprised to see Houndour helping others and protecting from bully Pokémon that usually appear in the islands. Now, he is now liked with the other companions and even helped Professor Populus from a common thief who wants to steal his research. Everyone now respects Houndour of his changes and he stated that he changed because of Charmeleon defeating him.
Present Day
"Charrr", Charmeleon smiled as he finishes his thoughts about Houndour and maybe it might be nice to keep him well and like being a fiery partner. Once reaching to the breakfast area and meets up with everyone. Houndour brought a bowl of Pokémon Food for Charmeleon as he barks at him with a smile. So, they started eating and looks at Houndour that he's glad he could not only change him but also have a friend that is also a fire type.
In the end, Houndour and Charmeleon have created a cave for Houndour to live and with that, they worked together to be the defenders of the island as the Fiery Duo. And with that, the first part of Charmeleon's Journey ends and a new journey begins as a new journey begins for the rest of my team.
Well, that is all for this Journey and yes Charmeleon's Journey ends but as a main character, I will now let all my Pokémon to have some screen time and becoming heroes of this next Journey. The next Journey is going to be a 2-parter as something bad might happen and my Pokémon will be there to face this danger, both physically and mentally. Well that is all and have a great day.
