-chapter 4-

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, nintendo does

There was a moment of silence, both pokemon silently daring the other to move, before we started giving commands to them.

"Morganna use tackle" I called

"Dodge and use tail whip" cried Will

Morganna threw herself at the water type, but narrowly missed and hit the ground instead, she immediately got up and looked at Sam just as he started waving his tail cutely at her.

Fascinated by the tail for some strange reason, she walked forward towards him, and made no attempt to dodge when she was blasted with cold water and thrown back a few feet.

She got up angrily, and before I could tell her to use a move, glared at Sam with more hatred than humanly possible.

Sam gulped and started cowering under the power of the leer attack.

"Now use vine whip while he's immobilized!" I yelled, trying to get some control of the battle back.

Morganna stopped glaring and for a second and let out vines faster than I could track, they started slapping and pummeling the water type, who was driven more to the ground with each super-effective blow until finally fainting under the amount of hits taken.

"We did it Morganna! We won our first real trainer battle!" I said as she jumped back on my shoulders.

"I'm the one who won the battle, you didn't fight at all." She huffed

"Oh come on, don't be that way, I gave the commands, stop being a glory hog." I retorted.

POV: Will

I returned my starter, disappointed, but not discouraged, he had fought well, but the type advantage was to much for him in the end.

After Sam was back in his ball, I saw that Morganna had jumped back onto my friends shoulder, and said something to him.

That itself wasn't weird, but the fact that he replied to it was. No one in history had been able to understand pokemon, but it certainly seemed like he did.

I'd have to ask him later today, as well as see why he was wearing that hoodie all the time in August with the hood up, and why he made us leave a day early.

POV: Alex

After we finished the battle, Will healed his oshawott and we kept going on our way to Accumula town, fighting off even MORE patrat and lillipup for a few hours (seriously there were ENDLESS amounts if them) we decided to take a break and have dinner and set up camp because it was getting dark.

While we were eating, Will decided to ruin everything by asking one. Stupid. Question.

"So why did we leave a day early?" He asked

"Like I said before, it's a long story." I replied, not wanting to reveal how I was part zoroark and how my mom kicked me out.

"We're in a forest with no towns near us and we are setting up where to stay for the night, we have plenty of time for you to tell me what happened." He said

"W-what? Nothing happened, I just wanted to leave early, that's all!" Putting on what I hoped was a convincing lie.

He didn't buy any of it.

"Tell me what happened, NOW!" He demanded

"Or what" I challenged, daring him to do something.

"Or else you're doing this journey on your own and I'm splitting up with you." He threatened.

Well that plan backfired, time for plan B…

What was plan B?

When in doubt, stall and improvise!

"Fine, I'll tell you…" I said, acting reluctant

"Really?" He said, obviously surprised.

"When I went home from the lab, I was ready to go, I was going to go with you the next day, but when I got to the house, there were a bunch of joltik and galvantula with electrowebs all over the place, and my mom had gone on a business trip to Sinnoh, and I'm extremely scared of joltik and galvantula, so I decided to tell my mom about the infestation and leave early." I bluffed, knowing it was not very convincing.

Luckily, Will seemed to buy it.

"Okay, I believe you, but…" He trailed off.

"But what?" I inquired, worried about what he thought.

"If there were electrowebs everywhere, how did you pack your stuff, and how can your mom be in Sinnoh if I saw her a few hours ago?" He said in triumph.

Well crap, I'm done, I've got no more lies, and I'm gonna lose my best friend if I tell the truth probably.

"My mom threw me out of the house, I said." It was truthful at least.

"And why did she do that?" He asked, guessing he was on to something big about me.

"Do you really need to know?" I asked.

"I've been your best friend for the better part of our lives, even if your mom did, I won't abandon you." He said

"Fine, I might as well tell you the entire story then." I said, still reluctant.

"It all started when I was attacked by the zoroark a week ago…"

Unknown POV

Route 1

I walked through the forest, ready to start my journey to become champion of the Unova league.

I was lucky enough to get to the lab in time to grab my starter, Tepig, but I couldn't help but feel bad as I saw a girl with short green hair run to the lab.

Poor girl, I thought to myself, I already got the last one.

I was about to go tell her that, but before I could, there was a scream from route 1

"WHAT THE F-" someone yelled, deep in the forest.

"YOU'RE PART ZOR-" he was cut off again.

That was my cue, there was someone who was a hybrid in there, and if someone was only just finding out, they were probably scared, and I know how to help people with that sort of thing,

I ran off into the forest, with a girl with green hair right behind me.

Unknown POV

Professor Juniper's lab

I stopped just outside the lab, panting as I walked inside.

Professor Juniper looked at me in shock, and something else, I think she felt sorry for me.

"I'm sorry we just gave the last starter away to some red haired girl, we don't have any tepig, oshawott, or snivy left, you'll have to wait for the next batch of starters to arrive in 6 months

"Don't you have anything? I need a pokemon!" I pleaded

"We do have one… But it's from another region altogether and hates humans." She replied

"I'll take it, just please, there's a person on route one who needs my help!"

This was true, I had been sensing distinct sorrow and pain and confusion from this boy for about a week now.

"Very well, here's the pokedex, I'll go get the starter." She said as she went to a back room.

Moments later she emerged with a small fox like creature with brown fur in her arms, that took one look at me, sniffed, and jumped into my arms and slept there.

I scanned it, not knowing what it was.

Eevee

No further information is known. Please update to Kanto model pokedex to learn more.

And with that, I ran to route one to help whoever it was that needed it, running right behind someone with red hair.

End of chapter 4

Yay! It's finally made at 1 am with school in 6 hours! And fanfiction was down so I'm posting this even LATER than I wanted to.

Anyway I added in 2 new mysterious characters, Will found out about the zoroarkyness of his friend (that's a word don't judge me) and judging on mysterious person #1 hearing SOMEONE scream about half Zoroark's and stuff, let's assume he didn't take it well.

I'd like to thank November Red Angel for that review, as always, you're awesome with the reviews on every chapter yet.

Anyway the school year starts in 6 hours so goodbye to frequent posts, hello to procrastination!

Reviews and constructive criticism are great! I'll fix stuff when I learn how to edit on FF. flames will be used to make marshmallows which means s'mores * cough * NovemberRedAngel * cough *

See ya guys next time!
