Chapter Five: A Friend For Zorua
It was a lovely day in Striaton City where lots of people are feeding the Pidoves or Patrats, younger children are learning at Trainer's School in order to start their future journey, while the Basculins are swimming at the pond eating bread crumbs given by elderly people at the park where some bushes looks exactly like Pikachu, a rare Pokemon that can't be found in the Unova Region.
"Well here we are everybody, Striaton City where all the Pidoves and Patrats but mostly Purrloins make their homes." Irene pointed at the colorful city with lots of happy people and their Pokemon, and of course getting pumped up for her very first Unova Gym Battle before Irene decides to train at the Dreamyard.
"I'm really excited to battle the Striaton Gym so badly!" Touko became very anxious for her gym battle before her pinkette friend looks at them and yawns.
"Well I'm going to train at the Dreamyard before I battle at the Striaton Gym. Later you guys and take care!" Irene waved her arm to her friends who seemed to ignored her for awhile before Touya responds back to his friend.
"Don't come crawling back to us!" Touya happily teased Irene who always get scared over little things. Like the time she saw a Cofagrigus at five and thinks there's a mummy inside. So in order to prevent it Irene brought her friend Scooter and makes sure that Cofagrigus gets him istead.
"Very funny Captain Obvious!" The young bubble gum rolled her eyes before she left to the abandoned Dreamyard thats been in ruins for few years since a huge explosion on the experiments.
While Touko and Touya challenge the Striaton Gym, Irene entered the Dreamyard and took a little tour around the Dreamyard. The Dreamyard looks very destroyed ever since the accident many years ago but it's like a great home for many Pokemon, not to mention a perfect place to train and catch Pokemon
"This place sure is abandon, but it's a great place to battle and catch Pokemon such as Munna and their evolution Musharna! Hmm I heard that a Musharna with a hidden ability Telepathy comes there every Friday except that today is Thursday. But I'm gonna catch that Musharna tomorrow, right after I win my first gym badge." Irene happily thought of Musharna and her gym badge until she heard the bushes started to rustle and began to frighten the pinkette but there's always Minccino and the others to protect her in case an enemy tries to attack. "Who's there!" The young bubble gum panicked and began walking straight to the bushes until she saw the same little black and red Pokemon that she saw yesterday.
"Zorua!" The same Pokemon happily wagged her tail and happily hugged Irene, crying tears of joy and happiness that she finally met her partner for two years.
"You're the same Zorua from yesterday! Why did you ran away like that? I was really worried about you Zorua!" Irene happily hugged the crying Zorua while Minccino joined the hug and cried as well since she was also worried about Zorua as well. "Don't you ever run away like that ever again okay. If you do I'll keep looking for you till the very end" The pinkette smiled at the little fox who looks very happy and glad that she didn't encounter Ghetsis again.
"Zorua" Zorua smiled at Irene and happily snuggled in her chest before they exit the Dreamyard.
"But first lets get you to the Pokemon Center" Irene held Zorua while Minccino is on Irene's shoulder and kept walking untl their at the Pokemon Center.
Several minutes later...
"Zorua is good as new, if you hadn't found her who knows what will happen to Zorua." Nurse Joy smiled at Irene who's holding both Minccino and Zorua.
Audino
"Thanks Nurse Joy!" Irene took Zorua and held her in her arms and went to their bedroom. While Minccino and the others are playing with the Zorua plushie, Irene fed Zorua lots of Pokemon food and rubbing her soft warm fur. "Tell me what happen and who did this to you." Irene place Zorua on her lap who looks scared and frighten over her past which was so painful and dreadful that Zorua could get killed, if she hadn't escaped on time.
"Zor, Zorua" Zorua told Irene what really happened and how she escaped .
-Flashback-
Few years ago before Zorua met Irene, she and her brother happily play at the forest. Everyday they either play tag or hide and seek and when it's late they cuddle together and when its night, they happily chase after few Pidoves for fun and mostly eat berries before they sleep together like two cute plushies. Zorua loves her brother and her brother loves Zorua alot even when there's danger. Everyday was a perfect day for them until they were attack by a Bisharp and its strong X-Scissor came from it's sharp and pointy blades. Next to it was a man in large robes with a red eye piece and a P sign, smiling evilly and commands Bisharp to do with those poor Zoruas.
"Excellent work Bisharp, soon N will have a hatred towards humans even if he thinks their very dangerous." Before the Sage commands his Bisharp to bring both Zoruas to the Castle and send them to N in his room.
Few hours later, Zorua woke up and notice that she was inside a playroom filled with toys and injured Pokemon napping behind the skateboard ramp, and saw her brother being held by a little boy who seems to be five or four years old years old wearing black shorts and an orange hair with a green tea hair before he saw Zorua and happily greets her.
"Hi Zorua!" the little boy smiled at Zorua who looks very confused and only remembers howshe and her brother were attacked by a Bisharp and an ugly man with a red eye piece.
"Zorua?" Where am I? Zorua looked confuse and noticed that she's inside a huge building but the question is how and when?
"You're at the castle silly, father brought both of you here few hours ago. Father says that mean people called Pokemon Trainers attacked you and left you behind." N began to cry, holding her brother tight while the little fox was astonished over that question since she knew that not every Trainers are like that.
"Zorua!" 'What! How could he say that when he's the one who attacked us!' Zorua became angry over what that man with large robes have said to an innocent child who's lonely and have no human friends to interact with. What's your name little boy?
"N" the little boy smiled at Zorua once more before he petted her brother.
N does your father lets you out? Zorua talked to N who seems to look very confused for few seconds, until he finally remembers what his father had said to him.
"No father says that I'm not allowed to be outside of the hallways unless Concordia or Anthea are their with me." N sniffles a little and tightly held her brother leaving Zorua concern and feel very sorry for N since there's no one to play with except Pokemon that were injured badly.
'The poor little boy, no friends or a family to be with... Just like me, if this keeps up then I'll lose my love ones including my brother who cares about me deeply or worse forget about me one day. But how will I get out though especially if this place is huge?' Zorua looked around the playroom filled with toys and few Pokemon that are beaten taking a nap until she saw the exit and entered the door leaving the little boy very curious.
"Where you going little Zorua?"
I'm leaving
"Why?"
It's a reason N, I wish I could tell you but I have to find out the truth myself. Before the little fox left and enters the hallway, leaving the young boy scared and concern since Ghetsis won't be pleased about it even if its a small mistake.
"But if father sees you he'll take you away just like he did with my other friends!" N warned the little fox before she quickly scurried and tries to find an exit before she gets caught by Ghetsis, a man who's a heartless person who cares nothing but power.
Zorua scurried through the halls filled with water, golden walls, giant concrete, and expensive golden and blue walls that are very rare and pure to find, as if the castle looks like it was build for many years or more than that, depending on the height of it. Zorua kept scurring and scurring and saw the exit until she was stopped by the same man that attack her and her brother and glares at her evilly as if he's trying to find a way to kill Zorua.
"Trying to escape are you? Anyone who dares to escape shall be punish!" Ghetsis kicks the poor Pokemon very roughly by his feet, and saw the little fox got hit by the wall with a small red bruise on her fluffy face.
"Zorua!" Zorua wailed in pain and couldn't believe what he just did to her before the Sage roughly picks her up and walks to N's room and spoke about lettingg the Pokemon escaped.
"And if I ever see any of your Pokemon escape, they will be punish." Ghetsis says loud and clear to his son who looks very frighten but responds back quietly.
"Yes father..." N held Zorua's brother while Ghetsis showed him the little fox that's badly beaten already.
"This Zorua is a perfect example, that's what happens when it dares to escape!" Ghetsis glares at N who seems to be scared alot now but answers him an important question.
"But what are you going to do with this Zorua?" N looks really worried over Zorua since he loves her as well and wants to raise her into a Zoroark one day.
"I'm taking it back to the wild" Ghetsis lied about it since he's really taking it to the dungeon or maybe give it to his Hydreigon for an afternoon snack but only when he's in a bad mood. Lucky for Zorua he isn't but that doesn't mean her punishment is over. "One Zorua is enough boy." the Sage glares at his son once more before he opens the door.
"Yes father" N held Zorua's brother tightly before the Sage left and slammed the door very hard.
"And as for you! You'll be held captive for the rest of your life!" Ghetsis glared at Zorua who looks frightened but deep inside she glares at him and will someday get her revenge and teach him a lesson once she evolves into a Zoroark and learns a signature move called Night Daze.
After Zorua was dragged to the underground, she was shocked to see the Pokemon work. The Goletts make small concrete while the Conkeldurrs and their evolution make bigger concrete, the Jellicents pour water with Hydro Pump while the Woobats and Swoobats lift the concrete with Psychic, the Darmanitans and Golurks lift the bigger concrete, and the Heatmors and Darumakas blow fire to burn the fuel.
What's going on? Zorua asked one of the Darmanitans that are lifting a heavy concrete that is so heavy that a Golurk can lift them.
We're being slaved one of them explains while holding another concrete leaving the tiny fox very curious.
What do you mean being slaved? The little fox looks very confused on what Darmanitan meant before a Golett responds to her question.
He means that if we don't do our work, these people known as Team Plasma beats us. The Golett warns Zorua about Team Plasma and what'll happen if she doesn't do her work.
These monsters took us away from our beloved Trainers and forced us to do their dirty work! Timburr cried in rage and anger and will never forget how he was captured by Team Plasma in front of his four year old Trainer back at Iccurus City, that is collecting wood for the woodman and his family.
How do I escape? Zorua ask one of the tired Darmanitan that is so weak and hungry after a long hour or more of work before one of the Jellicents responds to her question.
You can't escape here, no one has ever escaped in this dungeon. A few tried but they were caught by those Plasma Grunts and send back to the dungeon... But however there is one way but it won't be very easy, even if its years or more depending on the condition. The blue Jellicent explain to Zorua who looks concerned over the Pokemon even that are covered with bruises.
What is it and how? Zorua became curious and wants to find a way to escape and perhaps bring her brother along as well on that quest.
When the Ceremony starts you may escape but you have to hurry before the three men called the Shadow Triad gets you! The pink Jellicent warns Zorua about the future obstacles waiting for her but Zorua knows what to do since she could transform into anything like a Ditto, except that her moves are the same.
It doesn't matter for now, I could wait and maybe find someone that'll love me soon. Zorua thought as she began to work for years of suffering, beaten, and starve to hunger but manage to survive. But while she works, Zorua vows to seek revenge on both Ghetsis and Bisharp once she's free and finds a partner to stop them before Team Plasma steals more Pokemon from other people even if they're beginners. Zorua kept working until the Ceremony starts and Darmanitan dug a tunnel for her to escaped and also asked Zorua that once she has a partner and stops Ghetsis, they would like to return to their Trainers as long as Wise Lady is there. Since she's the wisest woman in two regions and can magicly heals them or sends them with a blink of an eye. Rumors says that Wise Lady could be the third Plasma Goddess, the Goddess of friendship who has the affection of sensing dark aura or future ahead of the people.
Now's your chance Zorua! Darmanitan dug a tunnel for Zorua.
But what about you Darmanitan. Zorua looks worried at her friends, who are staying.
Don't worry about the rest of us we'll be fine, Golett replies to the little fox.
Okay take care my friends, I'll never forget your kindness and maybe one day I'll rescue all of you. Zorua sniffled.
Find a loving Trainer who'll watch your back, Timburr suggested.
I will take care everybody. Zorua enters the tunnel and manage to escape. While the Ceremony starts, Zorua thought of her brother until she realize that her brother is fond with N and there's nothing she could do.
It's best to leave him there, if my brother has a loving Trainer then I should too! As Zorua finally made her decision until she saw a light and quickly enters before the Shadow Triad saw her. After she escapes, Zorua looked at the castle and wishes her friends and her brother good luck and kept scurrying to find her partner. After she's free, Zorua looked around and was glad that she's not with her brother anymore but deep inside her old brother will always be in her heart and will move on and find her partner. For days Zorua search for her Trainer but every time she spots a Trainer, Zorua turns them down and lefts, not to mention that she really wants to evolve into a Zoroark and learn her signature move Night Daze. A very strong move that is so strong that not even a Hydreigon can learned that great move. But when she first saw Irene she wants to know more about her but why ever since she saw her, Zorua wonders if there's any connection between them?
-End of Flashback-
"So that's why you were beaten" Irene hugged Zorua tightly. "If I see this Ghetsis creep again I'll teach him a lesson and show him that messing with the ones you love is a threat to a person even for a Pokemon!" The young bubble gum clennched her teeth tightly and hoped one day she'll stop him and show him that Pokemon are like a family to her not just partners.
"Zor, Zor" Zorua happily cuddle Irene who looks very concerned over Zorua, since she's very lonely and has nowhere to go.
"Zorua you wanna come along with me?"
"Zorua" Zorua happily nodded.
Irene took out a Pokeball from her bag and gently place it on Zorua's head before she disappeared and went inside her Pokeball.
Shake

"Welcome to the team Zorua." Irene held Zorua's Pokeball and toss it in midair. "Come on out Zorua!" Irene threw her Pokeball revealing a little fox who's happy to see Irene.
"Zorua" Zorua smiled and happily wagged her tail before Irene took out something from her bag and gave it to Zorua.
"I want you to have this Zorua" Irene took out a pink bow but with a little diamond in the middle and place it around Zorua's ear.
"Zorua!" Zorua cries tears of joy and went straight up to Irene who looks very happy about her new Pokemon.
"You wanna challenge the Striaton Gym tomorrow morning Zorua?" Irene ask the little fox Pokemon who's cuddling her new Trainer nice and warm before she responded back to her question.
"Zorua" Zorua nodded and happily cuddled with her Trainer while Minccino and the others join in and cuddled with Irene as well before their eyes are drifted.
"Well thats settles, tomorrow I'll battle the Straiton Gym and then I'll catch Musharna!" Irene finally made her decision before she felt sleepy and held both Minccino and Vanillite nice and gentle. "Yaaawwwn! Good night everybody sweet dreams and don't let the Nincadas bite..." As the young bubble gum and her Pokemon drifted to sleep getting ready for tomorrow's Gym Battle and meeting a Musharna in the morning.
Phew sorry that I took so long I accidently deleted it then I have to retype it that's right folks N's Zorua is Zorua's brother surprising isn't it, coming up on chapter 6 battle of the Striaton Triplets. That's right Irene will battle all three gymleaders Zorua is one of them, but which two Pokemon will she use the answer is to read, review, and guess. (:
Here's her Pokemon
Minccino, Female, Type - Normal
Vanillite, Female, Type - Ice
Frillish, Female, Type - Ghost/Water
Zorua, Female, Type - Dark
For those who played black or white, there's an access to another floor in the Dreamyard where you'll get a Musharna but you'll get it after you beat the main story. Every Friday a Musharna with the hidden ability Telephytic or somethibg like that, normally Musharnas doesn't have an ability like that. (:
