Ok this is my longest chapter so far. 1,600 words, which is pretty good for me. And yeah, that last chapter was a filler just to show that Cha-ko (Ash) was getting along with his new family.
"This is Human speech"
Disclaimer: Again, I do not own Pokemon. But I can always dream right?
"Touch it."
"No you touch it"
"I don't wanta touch it. What if it bites me?"
"Then whyda I have to touch it?"
"Because I'm the older brother, and I said so."
"Drano's older than you and we don't listen to him."
Char-iuk just glared at me as he turned his attention from the strange orb that was now resting in a new nest that Mama must of made last night. I gave him a sly smile watching him through the sides of my eyes.
"Point." Char-iuk sighed. "Can we just go back to trying to figuring out what this... Umm.. This thing is?"
I blinked. "Maybe it's food? Like the tamato berries that Papa brought back the other day, from the strange place."
"Doesn't look like food." Char-iuk said, reaching out to sniff it while staying far enough away not to touch the offending object. "Maybe a toy?"
I shook my head. "Mama would have said something. Are we sure it's not food?"
Char-iuk did a double take and almost fell over. "By the name of Mew, did you not eat this morning or something?"
"I can't help it if I'm hungry." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
Drano sighed from his nest, which he had recently moved to the other side of the den, closer to Papa's nest-ledge. "It's an egg, idiots. Mother had three of them last night, and her and Father are waiting for their human outside to give the other two eggs to him. Remember? Mother said to stay inside."
Char-iuk and I blinked. "I was still asleep." Char-iuk responded.
"I wasn't paying attention." I explained.
Drano sighed and shook his head. "Well at least they're honest." He mumbled to himself, before curling back up.
"So are we going?" Char-iuk said in a softer voice, so Drano didn't hear.
"Going where?" I asked, tilting my head. Char-iuk pointed towards the "egg" then to the den entrance. "OHHH!" I exclaimed before he covered my mouth with his paw.
"Hush Cha-ko!" Char-iuk hissed. "Do you want to wake mister spoil-tail?" We ignored the comment of "I'm not asleep, morons" as we both padded towards the entrance, ninjask style.
"So what do you think's outside the den?" I asked him as we padded out a side tunnel that the two of us discovered. It wasn't big enough for Mama to fit through, and I was starting to have issues fitting myself, but right now it worked for the two of us.
"Well what ever Mama and Papa are waiting for." Char-iuk told me, while checking the tunnel entrance. "Coast is clear, well I see Mama and Papa. Oh and Spark and Toothy too. They have an egg thingy with them too." There was a small pause while I still tried to climb the tunnel to get next to Char-iuk, and still avoid his tail, which I had learned not to long ago that his and Mama's tails hurt when their tips touch you. "Mew Cha-ko, you have to see this. Now there's another Mon here, and he's cool looking."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I hissed back. "You know you would make it easier if you didn't sit in the middle of the view point." I said as I finally got to the top and shoved him with my shoulder. He only chuckled and moved over to the side a bit so we could both see through the hole. I had to hold back a gasp of excitement as I saw what Char-iuk was talking about. The new Mon was like the Pidgeys that Papa has me practice my Aura Sphere on, but this one was much bigger and had more top feathers and they were prettier. But that isn't what caught my attention the most. The thing that just jumped down from the bird Mon's back, was the strangest thing ever, but at the same time really familiar.
"Hey Cha-ko," Char-iuk said looking from the strange Mon to me. "That Mon looks just like you do, but bigger." I only nodded at his statement. It was true though. It even had my top fur color. The only difference was the fact that it had more fake fur than the "shorts" that Mama found for me since I got cold a lot. My own fur wasn't as warm as Char-iuk or Drano's scales. Our attention was distracted from the strange Mon as we both heard a roar nearby. Another Charizard dropped into the clearing, with two more strange Mons on it's back. This Mon we recognized.
"Hey it's Flint." I whispered. Flint was a Charizard that lived nearby as he came to the den all the time to speak to Mama and Papa about the forest, and even practiced battled with Char-iuk and I sometimes. He said he was going to teach me Dragon Claw next time he came over. Though I had never seen him with those strange Mons before. Both of them had the fake fur like the first one did, but one of the Mons looked like he was old enough to remember Mew's creation. The last Mon had to be a female, since she smelled different from the other two. Or would that make the other two females and that one a male? No it had to be the other way. No male smells like hatchlings, unless he's told to do hatchling work.
"Sorry it took me so long." Flint tried to apologize to the first Mon. "Sammy here wouldn't figure out which coat to take." The only response he got was a pat to his head by the old Mon.
"Sorry it took so long Richard. I was trying to find a coat without holes for Delia."
I blinked as I tried to figure out what the Mons was saying. I glanced over at Char-iuk, and noticed that he was having the same issue, which is weird. All Mons speak the same language, some just have different words for the same thing.
"It's alright Professor. I doubt we will see anything that will matter if you coat has holes anyways." The other Mon mumbled as he started to laugh.
"Richard, I thought we were just here to see your Pokémon and how they are doing out here?"
"Well I wanted to check the forest too. Toothy and Flame both had a few more eggs and I wanted to see if there were anymore Team Rocket grunts. I haven't seen any since the Professor and I found those bodies last year. I really want to know what they were after." The Mon said, putting a paw on Mama's neck and rubbing it. Char-iuk's jaw hit the floor.
"Does that Mon not know that Mama is the Dominant? He's going to get his head snapped off!" Char-iuk hissed. I shushed him, as I saw Spark's ear twitch as he sat on the strange Mon's shoulder. He gave a sideways glance in our direction, and then back to Papa, where he muttered something. Papa looked our direction and then back at Sparks and shook his head as he muttered something back.
"Richard's right. Though we should probably get those eggs back before we do anything. This is two more Charmander eggs and a Pikachu egg. Charmander eggs have to be kept at a warmer temperature than other eggs normally. And it would probably be safer to put the Pikachu egg in an incubator as soon as possible." The old Mon took the two egg things from in front of Mama, and the female Mon took the one from Toothy, as the Raticate gave hers a final nuzzle. The first Mon gave Mama another pat on the neck as he mounted Papa, which made my jaw drop and Char-iuk gasp in surprise. Spark jumped off of the Mon and hissed something at Mama, causing the first Mon to hiss at him.
"Sparks don't hiss at Flame, the last thing the forest needs is the two of you fighting over Arceus knows what." Flame just snorted and looked our way. I cowered a bit as I made eye contact with her, and I felt Char-iuk do the same as the exact same thought went through our minds "Busted". Papa looked confusingly at Mama as she muttered that she would explain later. Papa nodded and took off, with Flint, carring the other two Mon, and the bird Mon following him.
Mama huffed as she padded towards us, glancing back at the direction that Papa was heading. She got towards us and got on four paws. "Mind explaining what you two are doing out of the den?" She glared, as she dug at the hole around us until she was able to grab both of our scruffs.
I only gave a weak smile. "We were trying to find you?"
Char-iuk just glared at me. "Next time, leave the excuses to me, baby brother. No offense, but you suck at them." Mama only glared at the two of us we she took us back into the den.
So yeah to explain a few things that may seem a bit weird. First thing, in my mind Ash was adopted by Delia. Just my thoughts on it. I mean on the show, he looks nothing like her. So adoption explains that one, which is why she is still in the fic. Ash's mother was another woman entirely, which the story will get too eventually. Second, Char-iuk and Cha-ko have never seen a human or Pidgeott before so they call them the Pokè slang for Pokèmon, which is Mon. Drano knows what a human is because he's older and goes to the Dragon Den with Draco in Blackthorn City.
Oh and question for everyone, Ash will still travel in this story, but who should he go with? The only two I have so far that are traveling is Char-iuk and Cha-ko, traveling to become stronger and one day be admitted into the Charicific Valley. But who else should go? Brock (still with his dream of becoming the greatest Pokemon breeder), Misty (traveling to become the greatest water trainer), May or Dawn (Traveling for contests), or someone else that I haven't mentioned? Please leave who you want in a review or PM me. :D
Oh and criticisms are wonderful things that help me improve on my writing. So please, if you see I made a mistake somewhere, tell me. I know I'm far from perfect when it comes to grammar and spelling.
