Chapter three – Chalkie black nights
I opened my eyes and stifled a yawn. I was still in the cave. It hadn't been a dream. I smiled broadly and my head turned to Roiyaru, she was still asleep.
I stood up carefully, trying not to awaken the larger Pokemon, I managed to stand up and then my stomach rumbled loudly. Luckily this didn't wake the other fire-type. I decided to go out and get some berries to eat, that is what wild Pokemon are supposed to eat, right?
I stepped onto the frozen lake half expecting to fall through it, but I didn't, I ran across it and onto solid ground again, I sprinted through the forest, my orange fur flying behind me. Soon I came across a large clearing with many different types of berries growing on the tree, I looked wide eyed at them, they were beautiful, all of the different colours with the sun glittering on them...
I snapped out of my trance, I was starving! I attempted to climb up a tree but it didn't work, I pouted slightly before trying again, but I just slid right back down again. I sighed before realising something – I could shapeshift! If a shapeshifted into – say a Pidgey I could fly up the tree and eat the berries!
I concentrated on a pidgey but nothing happened. I sighed again. Maybe me shapeshifting was just a fluke. No. I thought, I was an Eevee, maybe I just evolved or something – but if I concentrate on being an Eevee now, then I'll know for sure. And I did just that, the white light went over my body and I was smaller, barely a scrap of brown fur.
Right, maybe I can only transform into... Eeveelutions? I wondered, so I concentrated on a Pokemon that I knew could get berries from a tree – A Leafeon.
I used vine whip to get an Oren berry from the tree and began to happily chow down on it, I didn't notice a pair of golden eyes watching me from a bush, but I did notice a rustling as three Pokemon stepped into the clearing.
The Pokemon in the middle of the group was Alakazam a human-like Pokemon with a long, large moustache. It had brown sections over its forearms and knees. Its head was large. It had three toes on each foot, with a white claw on each. It also held a silver spoon in each hand. I knew that it was an Alakazam.
The Pokemon to the Alakazams left had webbed hands and feet, and broad flippers. It had blue bodies and they have long tails. It also had red irises, a small red sphere on its forehead, and four spikes on its head. I knew that this Pokemon was a Golduck.
The Pokemon to Alakazams right had it was mainly green with a cream-colored belly. It had a yellow collar-like thing on its neck that leads down to behind its shoulders. Three leaves grew along its back and tail. It had four short limbs and a small crest protruding from the back of its head. It had narrow red eyes and a sneering face. I didn't recognize this Pokemon.
"What are you doing in our clearing?"The Golduck demanded.
"What? How was I meant to know it was your clearing! It had no sign post!" I replied, stuffing the rest of the berry into my mouth, ignoring the angry looks they were giving me.
"Are you gonna leave, or will we have to make you?" The Pokemon I didn't recognize threatened.
"I'm not leaving; you can try to chuck me out if you think you're hard enough!" I challenged, they seemed surprised by this.
Alakazam eyed me suspiciously before smiling slightly, "Let's do this." He said, then they rushed at me, I wasn't ready for them and soon I was almost defeated, then Alakazam was pulled off me.
My savior was mainly jet-black, he had the same body-structure of a dog back where I came from, he had bright yellow circle around his legs, tail, on his forehead and back. He looked like a normal Umbreon apart from one difference – When normal Umbreon had red eyes his were amber – almost golden.
"Three against one, that's hardly a fair battle, don't you think so Chenja?" He asked, indicating the question to me.
"What? Oh, yeah." I replied, confused as to why so many Pokemon called me Chenja.
"Chenja? Looks like we've got a good catch here, I'm sure there'd be lots of humans who'd give us anything for this one! Don't ya think so, boss." Golduck asked Alakazam.
Alakazam smirked. "Of course." Then the fight started again, the Umbreon was fighting Alakazam leaving me with both Golduck and the unknown Pokemon.
I was about to start the battle when Roiyaru sprinted into the clearing.
"Hello, Kiara! Want some help?" She asked, smiling at me. She leapt at the unknown Pokemon leaving me with only Golduck.
I used Magical leaf which seemed to be super affective. Golduck retaliated with Water pulse, I tried to dodge it but it still caught me. And it hurt. A lot.
I glared at Golduck who was snickering; I shook myself to get rid of the water and used Razor leaf, which missed. Obviously!
Before Golduck could even retaliate I just thought to hell with using moves! And leapt at him, I started biting him on the head and I wasn't letting go.
"Hey! Get off!" He yelled but I just held on tighter, the surrounding battles stopped for a moment and they stared, the Umbreon snickered and Roiyaru smiled while the unknown Pokemon looked smug and Alakazam looked expressionless.
I tasted something... metallic and I realized that I'd drawn blood, I let go, Golduck was panting, to finish it off I used Razor Leaf and the blue duck had fainted.
I stepped back and admired my handiwork, the other battles were finishing, my team had one, well, that was expected, we all had type advantages.
A little while later when the other Pokemon had come back around they were glaring at us, still panting.
"We'll get you back for this, just you wait!" Golduck yelled.
"Next time we come we'll win!" The unknown Pokemon added.
"Come on boys, let's go." Alakazam ordered and they stalked off into the bushes.
The Umbreon chuckled, "That never gets old, does it Roi?"
Roiyaru rolled her eyes, "Call me Yaru now, Chalkie,"
"Yaru? Isn't that, like, Japanese for 'To kill'?" Chalkie asked, he sounded confused, Roiyaru stiffened and nodded, the nod was so small I barely even noticed it.
"Why'd you want to have a nickname like that? Is it because of The Incident?" Chalkie asked. In reply he got a brief glance and his expression softened.
"You know that wasn't your fault, right?" The male Umbreon asked. He didn't get a reply for this.
"Something I should know about?" I asked.
"I'll tell you in time, not quite yet." Roiyaru told me and I nodded.
"So, this is The Chenja, not quite what I expected, but, nothing in life is what you expect it, right?" Chalkie asked.
"Why did you call me 'The Chenja' back when Team Rocket captured me loads of Pokemon called me that." I asked.
"'Cos that's what you are! Haven't you ever heard the tale of The Chenja?" Chalkie asked, before pausing, "Of course you haven't, I forgot, you're the new girl here!"
"The tale of The Chenja?" I asked
"Yeah, when we get back to the Cave I'll tell you! I suppose that is where we're going, isn't it?" Chalkie asked, Roiyaru nodded and we started to walk in silence. My stomach was still rumbling. So much for Breakfast.
A/N: Hello again peoples! Sorry it's been so long. RL has been terrible, my Laptop wouldn't access Word or the Internet, so we took it to be fixed, when we got it back half of the memory was gone so we took it back again, then the charger broke! Also I've got Exams coming up. *Sigh* Life hates me.
Anyway, here are the OC's that I've accepted;
Kusa Shinga – A Grovyle Shapeshifter. Should be appearing next chapter or the one after.
Nixy – A Ninetails – Should make her first appearance pretty soon.
Jade – A Shaymin Shapeshifter – In the far future, very far, in a time where Legendary Shifter are being made.
Arrow – Black Ferret with red stripes – In the same Chapter as Kusa.
Howler – An Umbreon with Mighteana fur and Umbreon rings – Same Chapter as Arrow, or the next one.
Crystal – Glaceon – Haven't decided when she'll appear, but I'll try to make it soon!
Kamille – Eevee – The Chapter after Kusa, Arrow and Howler.
Lauren Silverfeather – Human – A few chapters after Kamille.
And that's it!
I need more humans and no more Eeveelutions! I need more Bad guys – Currently I only have Howler.
And also ColaVixen and Kami, do you mind if your OCs already know each other?
Now, the question for this Chapter; What do you think 'The Chenja's tale is? Winner gets a Chalkie plushie!
