Chapter 10: The First Fight! Part 1
Sora and his friends hadn't been traveling long when they stopped to take a break, mainly due to Dawn insisting they stop and get some training done, since Pokemon loved the outdoor spaces.
"Yea, your right!" said Sora excitedly, pulling his pokeballs off his belt "Cyrus, Paine, lets go!" he cried, tossing the pokeballs up, releasing his two Pokemon. Cyrus appeared with a howl and a spark storm of electricity, while Paine appeared with a trill and a barrage of bubbles and sparkles.
"Piplup, take to the stage!" cried Dawn, letting Piplup out of his pokeball. The proud male water type starter appearing in a flurry of bubbles similar to Paine, though less sparkly. He then tackled his friend, and together they raced off into a game of tag, followed by Destiny as Cyrus simply watched, not in the mood for it. Destiny was the last to remove her pokeballs, and gave them a gentle toss.
"Hiro, Ben, come out please." she said softly, watching as her two other Pokemon appeared. The first was a quadruped canine, colored like fire with black stripes on its back and legs. It had a large, poofy tail, and a crest of fur, with a little fluff on top of its head. It had great, big brown eyes that sparkled with intelligence, and had some very sharp looking fangs. It let out a howl, and a fiery blast that singed the air around it. the second was also canine in appearance, but bipedal. It stood on two canine legs, covered in black fur, which made its way up the length of its body, turning to blue fur at its knees, then became black fur again at its chest to its neck. Its tail bounced behind it, large and blue with a crooked tip. Its arms had small silver bumps on its wrists to the center of the back of its paws, and a golden ring around its neck. Its head was mostly covered in blue fur, with a black mask that ended in two twin feeler looking things that looked like extra ears. Its eyes were a golden amber in color, and scanned the area around it, as if looking for an enemy. Upon seeing none, it relaxed, and both turned to be introduced to the group as Niji smiled softly, petting both.
"Everyone, this is Hiro and Ben. Hiro is my Riolu, and the Growlithe here is Ben. Hiro, Ben, these are my new friends Dawn, Sora, Piplup, Paine, and Cyrus." she said softly, watching them. Ben moved first, and slowly approached Paine and Piplup...and headbutted them both playfully. Piplup looked offended, until Paine headbutted him as well, and the two dissolved into another game of tag, followed by Destiny and Ben. Hiro on the other hand, never took his eyes of of Sora, and approached him. Sora knelt down, and the small emanation Pokemon taps his forehead. Within seconds the Pokemon had assessed his aura, and nodded.
"your a good person, Sora. Your aura tells me so." he said with a soft smiled, though to others they only heard "Ri, Riolu, Riolu!"
"Hiro, whats that smell on him? I cant place it!" Ben called out as he chased Paine, currently being 'it' in their game. Hiro simply shook his head, unable to place it either.
"Well, Hiro, its nice to know I passed your test. And Ben, I think your smelling my world on me. I'm not native here really, cause my ship crashed by some giant green serpent in the sky.." he said, surprising both of them greatly that Ben ran headfirst into a tree. Meanwhile, a certain dragon turned human sneezed violently as he sat in his fathers home, burning up the bundle of flowers he had been holding while another humanoid, a younger girl with a tomboyish look sat picking a special flower called a Gracedia. She was no bigger then 4' 3", with light pale skin, and light green hair. She had deep green eyes, and wore a pair of snow white shorts with a flower pattern on them, and a simple green green shirt with a red lighting bolt down the middle. Over that she wore a sky blue jacket, with another Gracedia flower in the lapel. She also wore a red scarf that seemed to flutter in its own breeze, just like the dragonoids bandana.
"Gosh dang it Ray! You burned all my flowers again!" she cried indignantly, fuming as she held out a hand, charging up a small orb of green energy, ready to blast him.
"hey, sorry! I didn't know I was gonna sneeze, OK? I really didn't mean to Shay!" he said apologetically, knowing better then to get on his sisters bad side. Before blows could be traded, Arceus in his human form once again stepped between them from nowhere, catching Shay's arm as it moved to throw the orb, and tossed it aside, letting it explode harmlessly in midair.
"Shaymin, Rayquaza! What have I told you two about fighting at home?" he asked sternly, glaring at them both.
"He burned my flowers!" Shaymin cried angrily.
"I swear it was an accident!" Rayquaza defended in an equally angry tone.
Arceus sighed, and waved a hand, the flowers reforming as he reversed time itself around them. When he stopped and allowed time to flow normally, Ray was once again holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers, which Shay quickly took from him to make sure he didn't burn them again.
"Thank you daddy!" she said, then ran off happily, and jumped into the air, starting to run on the wind itself as she disappeared into a cloudy area. Ray simply sighed, and got up, rubbing his head.
"thanks dad...don't know why I sneezed right then.." he said, and simply walked on the air, shifting back to his true form as he took to his place in the heavens that surrounded his world, protecting it from evil and other unwanted things. Arceus sighed as well, and turned to the guest he had, who had been watching in fascination, returning to his talk with the anthropoid mouse…
"Hiro? You OK?" asked Niji as she knelt beside her stunned Pokemon, shaking his shoulder gently. Hiro snapped out of it, shaking his head as he nodded, looking at her before turning back to Sora, still unbelieving he had understood them. Niji looked up at Sora who was grinning sheepishly "what did he say, Sora?" she asked him, confused as to his reaction.
"Well, Hiro had tested my...aura? To see if I was an OK guy. Him and Ben both couldn't understand why I smell different then anyone else, and I think Hiro was surprised I could understand his language, which seems to be the native language between them all." he said, shrugging before looking at him "that sound about right, Hiro?" he asked, earning a nod from the fighting type as Ben ran over, and stopped at the spiky haired humans feet, sniffing his shoes.
"You still smell different...like shadows...and darkness..." he said, looking up at him. Sora nodded, kneeling down to pet his head "why do you smell so dark?" Asked the Growlithe.
"Well, a while back, I did something to save some friends of mine...and I ended up in the deepest darkness that I could descend into...but one of my best friends brought me back from it...guess I still have traces of it on me.." he explained, not noticing everyone staring at him in shock and confusion. It wasn't till he stopped that Dawn spoke up.
"S-sora...you can actually speak Pokemon?!" she asked in surprise, nearly fainting in shock.
"Sora, I didn't know you could do that! That's an amazing ability!" Niji said excitedly. Both girls were staring at him in surprise and shock and excitement, and it made Sora feel a little self conscious, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, blushing furiously.
"I'm sure its not that great.." he said "I mean, I can understand Pokemon, its not that great, is it?" he asked.
