First of all I would like to thank all three of my first reviewers both good and bad. This chapter is a bit of an experiment for me and I hope you like it
Chapter 3
Night time came unexpectedly and the group let their pokemon stand guard for the night. Pyro looked inquisitively at chikorita, who looked at Highfang, who in turn stared at Pyro.
For future reference; when something is in parenthesis () it is a pokemon talking.
There was a dead silence between them except for the sounds of hoothoot. Chikorita was the first to speak.
(Um, do either of you know what rape means?) It asked, scratching the leaf on its forehead. Pyro shook its head. Highfang yawned then did the same.
(Why do want to know?) Pyro asked.
(My trainer told me not to let your trainers rape her. How am I supposed to stop them if I don't know what they're doing to her?)
Highfang shrugged and fell asleep on the forest floor. Pyro jumped on top of it and smacked it in the jaw. Highfang pushed him off and rubbed his jaw.
(What was that for?)
(We're supposed to keep watch over those three.) Pyro shivered a little and flared up the flames on its back. He turned back to his trainer, who was sleeping peacefully. Pyro didn't think much about Gold, he only knew him as the trainer, nothing else.
(Help me!) The voice echoed through every cell of Pyro's brain. He felt a sinking feeling in his stomach and turned to face the others.
(What was that?) Highfang howled. His legs were shaking.
(Someone's in trouble!) Chikorita exclaimed.
(Let's go find them.) Pyro ran on all fours into an area of condensed trees. The other two pokemon looked at each other and then gave chase to their companion. Hoothoots jeered and hissed at them when they ran past.
(Watch it buddy!)
(You made me lose that ratata!)
(Do you know what time it is?)
Pyro ignored them and kept running until he found the source of the disturbance. The three reached a clearing with an intense battle going on. A female Donphan stood by a pale blue egg panting and sweating. Her opponents were three fierce Houndooms. Donphan swung her trunk at the Houndoom in the middle who dodged to the left and bit her. Blood rushed from her pale gray side. Pyro, Highfang and Chikorita jumped in front of her.
(Leave her alone you big stupid dummy heads!) Highfang shrieked.
(Dummy heads? Was that the best you can do? ) said the Houndoom on the right.
Pyro shook his head. Highfang looked embarrassed and chikorita looked back at Donphan who was gasping for breath. She stood up and fell to her knees.
(Save my...) Donphan gasped. She turned her head to her egg. Chikorita got the message and picked it up with vine whip. Chikorita ran on to a huge rock for safety. Two of the Houndooms growled and stomped their feet at Chikorita.
(Forget the egg!) The one on the left said. (Focus on the mother.) The Houndoom's mouth started to glow bright red. Pyro knew what it was doing; it was preparing a sunny day attack. Highfang shot a surge of water from its mouth at the houndoom. The one in the middle came up and blocked the attack with a green shield. It had used a protect attack. The left Houndoom shot a burst of red energy into the sky. Its light illuminated the clearing with great intensity. Pyro used it to its advantage and fired three fireballs from its mouth. The attack did nothing to the pack of Houndooms in front of them; they were just too powerful. The houndoom on the right fired off a solarbeam attack at the two. The green beam swept the two in the air. Pyro watched in horror as the green burst engulfed Donphan. It let out a scream of pain and fell to the ground one final time.
Pyro landed on top of Highfang and ran toward the now deceased Donphan. He couldn't let this happen, he just couldn't.
(Donphan, please wake up! You can't die; you have a baby! Please...) Pyro fell to his knees. Highfang's eyes flared red and cried out in rage. He felt the same way about losing Donphan. He balled his hand into a fist and punched the left Houndoom in between the eyes. It was using its rage attack. The houndoom in the middle used Iron Tail on it and Highfang fainted. Chikorita used a vine to pick up Pyro and Highfang off the ground and on to the rock she was on. The houndooms however; howled together and rushed toward Donphan's carcass. Three red lights hit the three wolf pokemon and caused them to disappear.
"They weren't supposed to kill the Donphan, Silver. You're being to violent." A woman stepped from out of the shadows. She had blonde hair and piercing red eyes that made her look like a she-devil. Silver said nothing and returned the pokeballs to her.
"I don't give a damn about a Donphan who can't even stand up to a solarbeam attack Karen." He walked past Karen with Sneasel following at his heel. Karen didn't respond; instead she stared up at the three starter pokemon. She smirked at them and followed Silver.
Pyro recognized Silver right away from the lab. He literally fumed with rage. He and Gold were going to make Silver pay for this, even if he had to chase him to the end of time.
(Pyro stop! You're going to kill what's inside the egg.) Chikorita shrieked. Pyro's flames had turned the blue egg, dark red. Cracks formed on the egg's surface. Pyro and Chikorita watched in amazement as two ears burst from the side of the egg. The egg exploded into shards. Pyro used Highfang's limp body as a shield.
(Hey do you two know where my Mommy is?) asked the newborn Phanpy. Chikorita used its vines to cover Phanpy's eyes. It didn't want the little one to know that its mother was dead.
(Make up a lie.) It whispered. Phanpy struggled to free itself from her vines.
(An evil boy named Silver kidnapped your Mom. Uh if you come with us we could bring her back... heh.) Pyro didn't like lying.
(Sounds like fun. Where did they go?) Pyro didn't expect him to think it was fun. The phanpy freed itself and stood in front of Pyro.
(I don't know where they went but we'll find them if you come with my trainer; Gold.)
(Fine. Lets go!) It said enthusiastically.
And that's how Phanpy became Gold's pokemon. Pyro led the group back to the campsite (with Highfang on his back). It was almost morning; the sun peeking over the trees. Pyro and Phanpy rolled up into balls while Chikorita fell asleep on Crystal's back.
Gold woke up and stretched his arms. He stepped backwards and tripped over Phanpy.
"Son of a-"
"Phanpy!" Phanpy jumped into Gold's arms and grinned. Pyro woke up and gave Gold a tired nod. Gold took a pokeball from his pocket and pegged it against Phanpy's forehead. It shook in Gold's hand until it came to a stop.
"I guess I'll call you Trunks but how'd you get here?" Gold asked. He looked at Pyro who had fallen asleep again.
"Pyro? Pyro? Why won't you answer?"
I changed the writing style a lot in this chapter. Yes, I know Trunks is from DBZ but it suits a Phanpy right? Please review!
