Chapter 3
A Close Bonding
AN/Disclaimer: Heeeyyy guys I'm really sorry for not writing in sooo long I'm really sorry. I had just been going through some troubles lately, but with that outta the way here we go. And guys and gals don't be afraid to send me some ideas to the story, I would really appreciate that . Oh and the story is now gonna be in Damien's POV from now on unless I get any complaints on that.
Telepathy= *Example*
Normal speak= *Example*
The two walked through the dirt path road of the forest. On their way out of the forest Damien knew it would be a good time to get to know her better.
"So how far is Rustboro Master?"
"It's quite a walk Mallerie, but if we talk time will pass right by and who knows we'll be there in no time"
Damien looked at his hands and looked back at her in a swift motion. He tried to cough out something to say to Mallerie to avoid silent awkwardness'.
"So Mallerie… if you don't mind me asking how did you end up with your previous trainer?"
"I don't mind you asking Master in fact it's something I feel you may want to know. Well it all began when I was a little Ralts; he had rescued me from an angry Linoone I had accidently angered as I was forging for berries to eat. He broke his arm that day trying to rescue me…. His right arm wounded with lacerations and I cradled in his right arm as he fled to a nearby pokémon center."
Damien listened while he walked by her side with his hands on his pokeballs.
"Your previous trainer seemed nice he-" Mallerie stopped in her tracks and stared at him.
"He wasn't nice! Ever since I lost that one battle to a Haunter he never treated me the same. He calls me nothing but a disappointment, he told me that he never should have rescued me from that Linoone. I'm nothing but a disappointment."
Damien gets on one knee facing her and holds both her shoulders. "Don't say that you're not a disappointment! If you were one I would have never brought you along with us. I know you're full of potential and you just don't know it yet."
"Do….do you really think that? Ever since he said that to me I… I just accepted the fact I'm a disappointment I fai-" Damien cut her of midsentence and gave her a warm hug.
"You're not a disappointment Mallerie. I would never think that of you."
"It… makes me feel better when you say that to me Master"
"You don't need to call me Master it feels too formal for me, please call me by my name"
"Okay.. Damien" said Mallerie as she mildly blushed.
Damien unexpectedly picked her up and looked at her and said softly "You look so beautiful when you blush Mallerie.."
"I-I-I'm not b-blushing…. Well okay maybe a bit" said Mallerie as she looked down at her feet.
"You know for a pokémon that can talk you're quite se-" Damien is then cut-off by a young trainer "Hey can you please battle me mister! Pretty please?" beg the young boy.
Damien smiled and nodded "Sure thing kiddo" he said with a smile on his face.
"Hey Mallerie let's see how strong you really are"
"Alright Damien" Mallerie replied courageously.
Damien gave the young boy the signal he was ready. In a flash both Damien and the boy were facing each other ready to battle. The boy threw forward a pokeball releasing a Makuhita. Damien sent forward Mallerie "We got the type advantage here Mallerie this shouldn't be too hard." Damien said confidently
"Macky use arm thrust"
"Mallerie use teleport and counter it with psychic"
Makuhita charges straight forward, Mallerie fades into a blue light and vanishes. Makuhita looks around and is abruptly surrounded by a blue aura lifting him into the air and smashing him back down to the ground.
"Impressive" said Damien as he clapped at Mallerie.
"Hey it's not over yet mister! Macky get up! Get up we have to defeat them!" said the young boy as he flailed his arms around in frustration.
Macky got up looking very weak, just trying to stand up looked too much of a struggle for him. Mallerie looked at Damien and said in a worried tone "Damien.. I.. I can't finish him off.. he is in too much pain, I'm too strong for him. Please don't make me finish him". Damien looked at the Makuhita it was already limping and had a bruise on its arm from that fall he took.
"Macky use Tack-"
"Stop! We've had enough. That was a good fight you put up kiddo" Damien interrupted.
Damien walked towards the young boy giving him a pat on the shoulder and said "Hey buddy pokémons aren't only meant for battling, they are meant to be loved too" Damien hands the boy a super potion.
"I'm very sorry for getting so riled up in the battle I hope you can forgive me mister" said the young boy in a sad tone
"No need to apologize. You have the potential to be a great pokémon trainer you know? Just love your pokémon and they'll reward you back with power" replied Damien as he patted him in the back.
The young boy healed his makuhita with his newly acquired super potion and hugs Damien. He thanks Damien for battling and talking to him. He waves good bye and walks away.
" I hope we cross paths again kiddo!" yelled Damien.
"I hope to see you again! And the names Myles" yelled the young boy back.
