AN: Kudos to anyone who actually guessed the trainer's problem. I didn't actually expect it. And now, what we have all been waiting for… the confrontation.
The simple brown eyes that met Gary shone with recent tears, and were filled with the pain Gary had been feeling himself. Both creatures stared at each other with bated breath for what seemed like an eternity, until the human let out a low sigh. Something deep inside Gary stirred, as the tension between them faded. The human then ran up to Gary and hugged his midsection, and Gary brought his serpentine body around and embraced the now sobbing boy. The two then fell asleep together, as if they had known each other their entire lives.
As the sun peeked over the distant hills, its light fell onto the strangest sight it had yet seen, a wild gyarados and trainer lying next to each other on a sand strip. As soon as the rays of light began to hit the group, the trainer stirred, before awakening. The trainer cried out in shock at first as he registered his sandy surroundings, before remembering the previous night. His eyes instantly shot to the gyarados beside him, and he was horrified by what he saw.
Gary was a wreck. His armor plates were dull, his fangs rounded, and he was covered in sand. His stature was small, and his fins undersized. His face was more sunken and hollow than normal and his lips were chaffing. Yet his eyes stood out from his body, deep red-purple and constantly blazing with emotion.
The trainer jumped back as he realized his companion was awake, suddenly frightened by his immense size and monstrous appearance. The pained look returned to Gary's face as he realized that the trainer was afraid. Gary slumped to the ground again. The trainer just pulled out an unoccupied pokéball. He knew what had to be done.
The ball flew through the air and sucked a surprised Gary inside. The ball didn't even wiggle once. Gary accepted the capturing. The trainer grabbed the ball from the sand and sprinted towards the nearest town. He could not allow this Pokémon to die. Not this time.
AN: The challenge still stands. Try to guess. Go on. Try. I dare you.
Anyhow… Gary and Gary are together forever, out on an adventure. Who knows where it will take them. I've been calling our Gary Oak 'the trainer' because the story is loosely construed from Gary's (the Pokémon) point of view.
P.S. From now on, Gary is the gyarados and Gary Oak is the trainer. If you notice an inconsistency to this rule, please alert me immediately so I can remedy it.
