Ok Before I start, I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed, Favorited, and Followed this story so far. (who I won't list because there are a lot of you, but I do give y'all a round of applause and a cookie.) And I would also like to apologize for how long it took this chapter to get up. I swear on the Bible, that I had this entire thing typed up and (what I thought) ready to upload a week ago, but I went to put it on Word to fix up some grammar and fonting stuff, and the space bar monster decided to eat my paper... And when I say that I mean it looked like this:

" ? " , . , , - ' . . - , , ' t .

Which since, like a lot of my fellow authors here, I hold pride in my work and won't release what isn't as close to perfect as I can get it, That (^) was not going to cut it. So after a week of deleting the "spacebar throw up" and fixing some minor issues, I give you the next chapter of Human Born; Charizard Raised!

Enjoy

Gary's POV

"Well?" Gramps said, glaring at everyone in the room. It had only been an hour since Lance and I woke up to the noise in the basement lab, that turned out to be two sneaking little forest Mons, and almost a whole half hour since Cha-ko released all the lab's storage Pokemon. That was a fun mess to clean up. Though Pi-ock did not want to be put back into that Pokeball, which Gramps was ok with, as long as he didn' t try to destroy anything.

"Hey don't blame me Professor," Lance said trying to defend himself. "I was only trying to stop whatever was making noises in here, and your grandson was trying to stop me. And what do I find? Well, whatever that is over there." Lance said pointing towards Char-iuk, Cha-ko, and the newly named Pi-ock.

"And this wouldn't have happened if humans were smarter than rocks and put up a night-guard." Cha-iuk snorted as Cha-ko glared back at the self-proclaimed "dragon master".

"Char-iuk, I've told you, we don't think about it. And no one will listen to a little kid like me." I sighed, quickly adding on the last part as I saw Cha-ko's mouth open in protest. They both seemed to accept the reasoning this time, unlike last time when they decided that a 5-year-old should make more decisions in the 'human herd'.

"Gary?" Gramps said looking at me, obviously sleep-deprived from his latest experiments. "Why are your little friends doing here and what are they saying?"

I shot the two of them a glare before sheepishly taking my gaze back to my grandfather. "I really don't know about the first question,"

"S-seem-ed fun?" Cha-ko stuttered happily, interrupting me. "And bored. We is on patrol and been bored." He tried explaining when Lance and Gramps' glares turned into confused glances, as they stared at the strange half naked kid. Yeah that one took me a while to get used to, but he refused to wear anything that even looked like a shirt, so I just got over it.

"That kid can talk?" Lance said with an expression similar to a gasping Magikarp. Char-iuk, Pi-ock, and I started laughing as Cha-ko glared up at Lance.

"Says the 'trainer' who can't battle." The tiny hybrid muttered, crossing his arms in a little kid pout way.

"He's actually a decent battler." I told them, Gramps, Lance, and the fact that I was in the middle of Gramps's lab, probably in huge trouble, clearly pushed back to the back corner of my mind for the more likable topic of battles. "He was half-asleep when he battled you, Char-iuk." I told the scoffing Charmander. "And that Dratini that you went crazy on, was a newly hatched Pokémon. Hope you feel proud of yourself." I told him sarcastically. We all bust back into a fit of laughter as Char-iuk stood proudly and 'humph'-ed, paws on his side for a truly 'heroic' pose. I even think I heard Lance gave out a chuckle.

"They can battle?" Gramps said, staring at the two 'brothers'. Char-iuk let out a snort, with a tiny puff of smoke, as Cha-ko gave an eager nod.

"Battle?" Cha-ko challenged, pointing at Gramps, who looked confused at the request. Cha-ko scrunched up his face in confusion, before looking at me, Pi-ock still gripped tightly on his head. "Gary, how do you challenge others to fight?"

I stared at him, shocked at his idea. "Cha-ko, we no battle like you." I tried to explain, not really liking where I thought his thought process was going.

"Then ask if he can battle their Trainer-Mons." Char-iuk said, nodding happily. I sighed in defeat as the three kept giving me hopeful (and sadly pitiful) glances.

"He's trying to challenge you to a one-on-one battle." I told Gramps.

"Gary, two things." Gramps said, still a bit confused at the entire thing. "One, it's 5 in the morning, I have work to do soon. And two, what Pokémon could he possibly use? The Charmander?"

"Umm, Gramps?" I said, giving a glance to Cha-ko, who was already on his feet and trying to stare down the two trainers in the room.

"I battle for me." He stated, hands balled into fists at his side. "I get strong so I can go to the valley like my family."

"Please say I heard that wrong." Lance gasped again, ignoring my head shaking no. "He's not a Pokémon, he can't use attacks."

"Maybe he can, you never know until you give him a shot, right Sam?" We turned around to see my 'uncle' stepping into the lab, his Pikachu sparking (A/N ha-ha, that was a little pun there) at his side. Sparks quickly made the small leap to where Char-iuk and Cha-ko where, and started ranting about how they were in 'so deep of trouble, that a Diglett wouldn't even be able to dig them out'.

"No one here woke you or Delia up, did they?" Gramps asked, embarrassed.

Richard shook his head. "Well this didn't wake me. My rude awaking was to the overprotective-oversized flying fire-lizard that's outside your lab, and the little power plant over there." He said pointing to Spark. "But the battle with Cha-ko is a decent idea." He stated, earning four glances of shock from the other side of the room before a fury of Poke-speech assaulted my ears.

"Yes! Now Mama has to agree since her human said so."

"I knew I liked him"

"How in the name of Arceus is he going to get that to be okay with Flame, and not become charred Richard?"

"Who is that guy, and what is mentally wrong with him?"

I just stared at Uncle Richard. "You do realize what you just said right? And that your Pikachu thinks you are insane right?"

The older trainer nodded. "Flame will get over it, as long as no one gets too badly hurt. Besides, it would be good practice and a good learning experience for everyone. Other than the rare Aura Guardian, when else do you see a human use attacks?" He stated nodding towards Cha-ko, who only glared at the name of 'human'

"And who do you want to battle him?" Lance said, slightly disgusted. "You want to put a child against a battle experienced Pokémon who is Arceus built for giving and receiving attacks. You talking crazy."

Uncle Richard whistled to Sparks, who jumped onto his shoulder, before the two of them started to walk outside. "Which is why you are going to be battling him." He stated, patting Lance on the shoulder. Sparks flicked his tail towards the three Mons, who followed him and Uncle Richard outside. Gramps followed soon after, and I followed after him. Lance still stood in the lab, his mouth still on the ground.

(Cha-ko's POV)

"Remember to keep your weight in the front of your body." Mama reminded me, for what seemed like the millionth time. I stood on the other side of the make-sift battlefield, as Sparks called it. "And don't lose your focus, or flame. If you need to step back to raise power, then do so."

"Yes Mama." I moaned, just wanting to get the battle started. But the human trainer still needed to be convinced by Mama's trainer, and the Trainer-mon was being just as difficult. "Can we just start already?" I moaned again, becoming really impatient.

"Easy Cha-ko, save the annoyance for the battle." Gary laughed, earning him a quick glare.

"Glad to know that you will at least put some effort into it." I heard Mama's trainer say, sarcastically, before stepping away from the other trainer. Lance sighed before pointing out to the battlefield.

"Ok Dratini, lets get this battle over with." He sighed, as the serpentine dragon hesitatingly slithered out onto the battlefield.

"Don't know who you are trying to fool with this, kid." The trainer-mon sighed, before getting an angry growl from Mama.

"And there's Mama's Intimidate ability." I laughed, earning a few giggles from the sidelines. "So are we going to start this battle or not?" I smiled before rushing at the tiny dragon, feeling the ends of my paws sharpen. "I'm starting this with scratch!"

The trainer and Dratini's eyes got huge at the attack as it connected, forcing the dragon-type back a few inches and gaining it some new marks on it's nose. The trainer shook off his shock, calling out a move.

"Dratini, counter with Thunder Wave." The trainer called, as Dratini charged up and let loose a weak electrical shock across the field. I quickly braced myself for the light shock that would restrict movement, after feeling the shock I quickly make a slower counter move, my paws glowing in a blue fire. I rushed towards the Dratini, as the realization dawned on the two on the move.

"How in the name-? Dratini, dodge that Dragon Claw with Wrap!" The trainer yelled in shock as the dragon Pokemon curled around my upper body, unknowingly falling into a trap that we forced Drano into all the time. I gave him a small smile before feeling the warm feeling burning in the middle of my body. I watched the gasps of surprise from the humans as the Dratini let go, afraid of being burned by my very sloppy Flame Charge.

"Please say someone else saw that." The old human squeaked.

"Cha-ko! That was awesome!" Gary shouted onto the battlefield, Pi-ock was at his side trying to form words at the feat. Char-iuk, on the other hand, was near Mama, his nose scrunched at the sloppy move, while Mama only nodded in approval.

"I would like to see you do better, Char-iuk." I said sticking my tongue out at the snickering fire lizard. I felt the true after effects of the paralyzing Thunder Wave from earlier, as my body started flinching in protest. The Dratini only blinked at me, as I could no longer move. Apparently their earlier attack, and it's after effects, forgotten in the confusion.

"Hey Lance," Mama's trainer called from the sideline. "Battle's still going, no matter how shocking the moves are."

"Oh right." The trainer muttered. I silently cursed under my breath as I still found myself unable to move as the trainer called out a move. "Ok Dratini, use wrap again!"

The dragon Pokémon shot forward, squeezing my chest. I grit my teeth, unable to feel the warmth that normally was inside.

"Great Arceus." I cursed, before getting temporary feeling back in my paws.

"Stay on him, Dratini!" The trainer called out. "Don't let him get your guard down."

"Hey easier said than done!" The Dratini called back.

"You know that they can't understand you right?" I muttered to my opponent.

"Yeah, but it makes me feel better."

"Well this is going to sting a bit," I muttered back, ignoring the surprise glance. "Thought that would make you feel better." I shrugged, the motion loosing the Wrap, as I lifted a blue-fire engulfed paw. My paw smacked the Dratini in the head, knocking him off of me before flying a few feet onto the ground. Mama's trainer rushed over to the Dratini, and glanced at the fallen Mon.

"Dratini is unable to battle!" He called, pointing a paw to me. "The battle goes to Cha-ko"

"Well that's a weird thing to say," I muttered glancing over at Mama and Char-iuk's proud faces.

So yeah, I'll see y'all when I get the next chapter finished, *mutters* and hopefully the space bar will control it's little puking issue ..

OH and I did get the cover done, as y'all can see :D (hopefully, if you are on a phone, you can't but all you computer users can. Go computers! Woot!)
