Chapter 2: Brayven the Dualmon
"You're half Braixen!?" I and Exis exclaimed together. "Umm…. Yeah." Brayen shyly returned, seconds before turning into a Braixen. After we got over the fact, Exis shouted, "You're a Dualmon?! That's awesome!" I however, didn't feel so happy. I wanted to be a legend for years, and now my cousin and friend were both way more awesome than me. "How did this happen?!", I exclaimed. "I'm so jealous!" "I'm not sure how it happened." Brayven answered, reverted back into her human form, keeping her defining Braixen tail. "Last night, I started floating, when my Fennekin's DNA entered me. I came out of a fireball, as a Dualmon. That's what happened, I guess." "We're going to be late for the field trip." I continued, just trying to change the subject. "Let's go." Soon, we were riding in a bus, entering the Viridian forest. We looked out the windows, searching for my cousin Cooper. "What's that hot tail?" A girl in our school named Rachel asked Brayven. "Um…it's a cool decoration. They sell them in the Pokemart/hospital in Pewter city." Brayven cleverly returned. Eventually, we were at the lake. We hopped off the bus, and got a good look around. "Professor Juniper said Cooper ran east." Professor Oak explained. East from us was a big tunnel, that used to carry excess lake water to streams. But now, it was a dark, swampy stink pit. While the class looked with Professor Oak, we entered the tunnel. It was dark, stinky, and muddy, but we heard footsteps, and suddenly, I saw Cooper's Lucario eyes. He turned into a human, and tackled me out of the tunnel. The others chased after us to help me. Cooper got up, and said, "porter?! Why are you here?" "It looks like we found him." I returned. "Why are you here? You mom has been searching everywhere for you." "Please! Never tell anyone where I am!" Cooper continued. "My mom lied! She knew that I was a Dualmon, and she told me to hide here. Oak saw me here. And he's covering me by proving that I'm gone. I encountered Ash, and he's turned abusive to Pokemon." "What do you need help with?" Braixen asked. "I'm a Dualmon too." She quickly turned into a Braixen, but Cooper was too frantic to react. "I can't tell you about the legend or what's happening now, but we need to get out of here immediately." We could tell that his was urgent, so we ran instantly. Sadly, some kids heard us, and they took chase. Cooper, now a Lucario, used Aura sphere, knocking everyone off our trail. Eventually, we found ourselves on the outskirts of Pewter city. We had no idea where to stay, and it was too dangerous to return to Zoran village with all the other students wanting us for Lucario. "We'll have to stay in the hotel my uncle owns. "Exis explained. "He probably won't know about Cooper." That night, we stayed in the hotel. As we slept, something sad had happened. "You're not good enough! "Ash yelled to Pikachu, in an alley. "You're out
dated and weak! You're not my Pokemon anymore!" Ash kicked a trash bin, and left Pikachu in it.
