-chapter 3-

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, nintendo does

Previously on The Zoroark's Curse…

The egg was encased in a harsh light that made us both look away, when we looked back the egg was gone and in its place was a…

Zorua.

It hatched into a Zorua.

The irony just sickens me.

The fact that if this had happened a week ago I would've been happy beyond belief and praising Arceus for my amazing luck was annoying also.

The tiny little zorua WAS adorable however, and I couldn't hate it for long, especially when it jumped into my arms.

"Daddy!" She squealed at me.

"WHAT did you just call me?" I sputtered, clearly in shock.

"Daddy!" She repeated.

"I'm not your dad! I'm human!" I replied indignantly.

"Actually, you aren't human anymore, and you smell sort of like a zoroark, so it's safe to assume that she thinks you're an actual zoroark and it's father." Morganna explained.

"Great, so now I have a zorua who thinks I'm it's dad, and apparently I smell like a pokemon. Perfect." I said with my voice filled with sarcasm.

"Pretty much, it's safe to say you're the weirdest trainer I could've got." Said Morganna.

Before I could protest that I wasn't that weird, my mom walked in and saw me talking to pokemon with pokemon ears and long red hair, and before I could put my hood up to hide the ears and hair, she promptly fainted.

My luck just gets better and better.

One resuscitation later...

My mom abruptly sat up, before looking at me and glaring.

"What have you done to my son?" She said to me, obviously barely holding back from strangling me where I stood.

"What do you mean? I AM your son" I said back

"No you're not, I saw the ears, you're probably a zoroark that killed him and took his place." She spat, looking at me with utter contempt.

"What are you talking about? Have you gone insane?" I said

"No, but you are not welcome here, LEAVE!" She practically screamed, throwing my bags at me as Morganna, zorua and I were practically chased out of the house by an angry mother.

"And this is why I didn't tell her." I remarked as she locked the door behind us.

"That went well" remarked Morganna sarcastically.

"Shut up, at least she had the decency to throw our bags at us so we could have them."

"I think she was trying to hit you in the head, not help you on your pokemon journey." Remarked Morganna dryly.

"Either way, we have nowhere to stay now, so let's start our way to Accumula town." I said, hoping to get there before dark."

"Fine, let's go. Anyone you wanna say goodbye to?" Asked Morganna

I mentally hit myself. "How could I forget? I was going to travel with Will for a while! Let's stop over at his house so we can get going."

At Will's

I rang the doorbell and was immediately greeted by Will, who immediately saw the zorua in my arms and started apologizing faster than I could keep up with.

"Ohmyarceusididn'tthinkitwouldbeazoruai'msosososorry." He exclaimed before stopping to catch his breath.

"It's okay, I'm not mad that it's a zorua, and you couldn't have known." I clarified for him.

"Just asking… Why are you here? We were going to leave tomorrow." He asked.

"It's a long story, let's just get on the road as soon as possible." I said

"Okay then, me and Sam are ready to go."

"You named your oshawott Sam? Isn't that more of a samurott name?" I asked

"I see it as a reason to evolve him faster to make the name be better for him faster." He said

"I'm not sure that's how names work, but let's go!" I said, eager to get out of town

"Alright, I'm just gonna say bye to my mom first, she's gonna miss me, you should say bye to your mom to before you go." He said

His words might as well have been a knife to my heart, no way could I go back home. I thought to myself.

After a tearful goodbye, and what felt like hours of waiting, his mom finally was done with him, and we walked out the door.

"Good luck out there, make me proud Will!" She called out to her son as we left.

I never looked back once on the way to Route 1.

On Route 1

With Morganna on my shoulder and zorua in my arms, Will and I went through the route, occasionally fighting back lillipup and patrat, they weren't that hard, I was more worried about finding a certain other pokemon that I found here about a week ago…

After a while, me and Will stopped for a rest, and decided to have a battle."

"Will you be using Zorua?" Will asked.

"No, he's to young, let's just have a battle of our starters." I suggested.

"Okay, let's do it over here." He said while leading me over to a flat part of the forest with no trees or anything, it was like it was made to be a battlefield.

He took place on one end, and I stood on the other.

"Let's do this!" I said, determined to win.

"Me and Sam will destroy your overgrown leaf any day!" He said cockily.

With that comment, Morganna jumped down from my shoulder, hissing at Will.

"Let me at 'em, I'll rip them apart if I have to, NOBODY calls me an overgrown leaf!" She seethed, eager to beat Sam to a pulp.

Will was not fazed however, and with a smirk, grabbed his oshawotts pokeball and threw it.

"Go, Sam!" He called out

"Don't beat him that badly Morganna" I said as she walked to the battlefield.

"Finally, a worthy opponent, I have searched far across the lands, and now I shall have a fight to remember, fear me, you stupid snake, for I am Sam, destroyer of all, ruler if water, my water knows no bounds of what it can do, you shall be vanquished in the name of my trainer. I will destroy you." Proclaimed the oshawott, readying his scalchops in a threatening manner at Morganna.

Me and Morganna both stood there in stunned silence, before determining that he was just insane and dramatic, but not that tough an opponent.

We all struck determined poses, and the fight began.

End of Chapter 3

Alright, first off, congrats to November Red Angel Dodgers3 and 'guest', for predicting the zorua in the egg. Here's a virtual cookie *hands cookies away* I feel way to predictable...

Second, a warning, school starts in a few days, and while 8th grade shouldn't be that hard, I'm in one of the strictest schools, so it's harder, also, I always get in trouble, which might restrict my phone and computer use so I can't post, AND I'm a huge procrastinator, so that's even less time with fanfiction, so expect less posting.

Third, just gonna put it out there I'm going to make this journey as much of a living hell as I can for a certain zoroark hybrid…

Last, has anyone else noticed that I've only used the main characters name like twice?

Reviews are appreciated, flames will be used to roast marshmallows, constructive criticism is awesome, I encourage it, I will try to use good grammar to not have mistakes, but I'm only 13

See everyone in chapter 4 with the first battle!
