STORY:


Another View…
Chapter I
“Hmm...”

The sky was murky, and the sun was setting at the Guild, as always. I passed myself back and forth on the cold, rough ground in front of the gate. I hope today will be different. I hope today I can finally train to become an explorer; to find treasures that have never been found. To maybe uncover my charm…

Staring at the gate I feel sweat dripping from my bright cerulean hair. Don’t be nervous! Today’s the day...I can’t live in fear all my life. Even though this IS the second year I’ve just been gazing upon such glory and not giving it a shot.

“No…I refuse to be paralyzed by this any longer…!” Shutting my eyes closed, I run onto the gate.

The gate bars are so cold, I feel the coldness sinking threw my feet it’s so cold. When was the last time someone set foot on this? Still with my eyes closed, I stand tensely on the gate. What happens next? Do the doors open-

“POKEMON DETECTED! POKEMON DETECTED!”

“WAH!” Wow, did I really just slide backwards? And what was THAT?! Such a loud, scary voice…

“WHOSE FOOT PRINT?! WHOSE FOOT PRINT?!”

“Um.” The voice wasn’t as loud this time, it sounded soft, like a girl’s voice, but still boy-like. Now that I think of it, the voice kinda sounded like mine.

“WHOSE FOOT PRINT?!” There’s that loud obnoxious voice again. I can’t really make out the voice. Too loud for even a Minccino to make out.

Sweat dropped from my hair again, but this time I didn’t have to force a grin. Are the gatekeepers always like this?

Then, water spitted from the gate. I kinda feel bad for whoever got water gunned, especially if it was like, a Geodude or something.

Man, I really thought this was going to be the last time I stay just an ordinary Riolu, the first time that I become an explorer! I even brought my good luck charm…I stuffed my hand into my shorts pocket and take out the ‘charm’. The unique patterns always made me feel all tingly inside.

I feel my legs just move with instinct away from the Guild. “Maybe tomorrow...Maybe tomorrow…” I groan, stuff my charm in my pocket and lower my head down at once. I should go to the beach. The day isn’t over yet and the beach is always a good place to go when you feel like Aipom crap. But something is still odd. Why do I feel so…vividly watched? Great, I’m going insane.

I start to step on soft material that seems all too familiar. Sand? I’m at the beach already? Wow, I am going insane. Maybe I should just give up on being an explorer; I don’t have a partner for the job anyway.

The krabbies are already out, shooting away with their bubbles over the beach. I always loved the view of it over the water…

Wow…

I turned my head around to look at the bubbles crossing the water. The sun seemed to be on top of the water and the bubbles just complemented it perfectly. I think it was sparkling or shining too… It’s like the perfect sight, and in such a deserted beach just adds to the effect!

“So pretty…It’s always beautiful.”

I always come here when I feel down about myself. Or when those Pokémon beat me up for being a wimp…I turned my head to walk down some more, and hey, somethings over there…Walking a little closer to get a better view, I feel my eyes widen. There’s a Pokémon crashed onto some rocks on the beach! I ran over there as fast as I could, before I got a REALLY good look at the pokémon.

He looked like a Charmeleon, but his hair shade gave it anyway that he was a Charmander. The Charmander had a really big gash down his chest, and it looks like he got it recently. His dark scarlet jacket was opened to reveal the big gash in perfect view. Wow, he’s tonned…

Wait, what am I thinking?! I’m not gay, and I know that. But there is something about this guy…that I really like. It feels like I’m going to be staying with him for a long time. I am insane, and I know it now, but first, this Charmander.

I should first try to wake him up…Just to make sure he’s alive…Even though he looked too handsome to be dead. I kneeled down to his height and started shaking him a little. Thank heavens I’m a Riolu, or I don’t think I’d be able to push this guy at all. He’s THAT toned. “Hey! Wake up! Are you ok?!”

“Nnnngg…”He groaned. Hey, he is up. He had this like…low, but soft alto voice. It had like, feeling to it, emotion and excitement to it, though, not in his “example” of course. Still, it had a nice ring to it.

His body shifted to a sitting pose with his right jacket sleeve sliding down his arm as he switched positions. When he finally opened his eyes, I got a glance at his hazy cerulean eyes. I also took note that his tail fire was now lit. The small shine it had to it suited him well. “Where am I..?” He said without shifting his view from the ground, and his hand on his forehead, his fingers laced through his red-orange hair and his eyes a squinted like his mad or confused. His tail wrapped around him a little; it was too small for a complete wrap.

“Are you ok?” I asked, feeling my face heat up a little from just STARING at him. Great, I must be like bisexual or something. Dammit. He turned to me with his head and I saw his eyes widen for some reason. “What? Do I have like something on my face?”

He blanched. “Dude…you have a tail, ears and blueish hair. That’s NOT normal.” He said in shock. What’s wrong with blue hair? He has ears and a tail too so he shouldn’t be so shocked. “And what’s wrong with that? You have a tail and ears too. Just because I’m a Riolu and you’re a Charmander doesn’t make hair color a big problem.”

He just stares at me like I’m joking or something. Then I just pointed at his tail and sweat dropped. What is wrong with this guy?

He jumped up a little, but even so he’s standing now. He pants were in good shape, and they were dark grey. They didn’t look too tight or too big. They looked just right…I should stop checking him out. I get the feeling this’ll become a habit.

He stared at his tail like he was shocked to have one. And MAN, he’s tall. I’m like 5’5” and like, what, 6’5”? Am I short or is he just plain TALL? During my checking out of him, he seemed to have moved to the water to check out how he looks himself. I think I heard him groan again or something along the lines of one. “Holy fuck, I am a Charmander!” He put his hands on his head and seemed to be panicking. He may be hot, but he is pretty stupid.

“You’re…odd. Well, what’s your name? I’m Rei, age 14.” I said rather more bluntly that I would like. Stupid!

He turned to look at me with a face that I couldn’t describe. He looked kinda mad, but kinda not. “I’m odd? I’m not a pokemon, I’m a HUMAN! HUMAN. Talking Riolu’s seems odd to me, even though they speak English apparently. Oh, and I’m Blake, age 15.” …Wait, what? “You’re human?! What are you doing here, and why do you look like a normal Charmander?!”

He stared at my sweat dropping from his hair. “I…don’t remember actually. All I remember is my name and age.” He said. So he has amnesia? Hot dude with amnesia…huh. Maybe today isn’t so bad after all. Actually, I take that back. He could be lying…”…You aren’t lying are you?” I kinda hopped he wasn’t.

“Ya, and pigs fly. Of course I’m not lying.” He frowned and has this sad glint in his eye. I feel guilty now, great. I shouldn’t have doubted him, he seems really nice. “Sorry…Just making sure. There’s been a lot of thieves and con-pokémon around here lately.” It was the truth too. There HAS been a lot of thieves and con-pokémon around here. It’s sad really.

“Oh.” He said, brushing the back of his neck and looking to the right. I guess I got his trust back? This Blake guy was really interesting…I hope I get to see him again, and it’s not today that I meet up with him again. I want to get to know him better…And he’s a HUMAN. Why not?

I stared at his chest. He still had that big huge gash…He didn’t even seem to notice it or feel it. Wow, he’s strong. That wound looks pretty deep too. “Blake…you do know that there’s a huge gash on your chest and that your jacket is undone right?” I asked him. He then looked down. Wow, he didn’t notice.

Again, Blake had that surprised face on him and quickly zipped up his jacket. “No, no I didn’t notice. I don’t feel any pain or anything either. We should go to a hospital to get it checked out I guess.” Hospital? The fuck is that?

I stared at him like HE was the one insane. “Hospital? What’s that?” I asked him. Sweat dropped from his hair again. “…Nevermind. I’ll patch it up myself later I guess.” Now he’s talking. Does he even know how to though? “With what?”

More sweat picked up on him. “Actually. That’s a good question.” I didn’t even realize that I was laughing now. Maybe I should patch him up, considering that he doesn’t know what to use or even how I bet. “Here, I’ll patch you up. Let’s go to my hou-“Before I knew it, hit by something very, very cold and sticky and landed, back-first to a large rock. OW. That hurt a lot. I catch my sight and look at what’s on me; Mud. Mud?

“Hey! Put that down, it’s Rei’s!” I heard Blake shout. What’s going on..? I turned to look at where Blake was standing. There were two girls in front of him. One was a Cyndaquil, the other was a Tododile, who had a cocky grin on her face. The Cyndaquil was holding…She was holding my charm! “Hey, give that back!” I yelled. I had that for as long as I can remember! I can’t and won’t lose it now!

The Cyndaquil smirked and glared at me. “What? This thing?” She smirked and tossed it up and down from her hand teasing me. “YEAH. THAT!” I shouted, glaring back at her.

The Tododile whispered something in her ear and she gave my charm to her and brought it up to her teeth, which looked like grown fangs that were razor sharp and made of steel. “I don’t think we want to. Or maybe you’d prefer me eating it~” She taunted. I gulped. That’s even worst! What am I going to do? I started to shake a little. Curse my wimpyness.

“Y-you better not...or e-else.” I forced out, which ended up in stuttering. Great, I ain’t getting my charm back now. And that’s just great, the two of them are LAUGHING.

“Ha-Ha-ha! You’re such a chicken! I didn’t expect you to be such a wimp!” The Tododile barked, the Cyndaquil continued to giggle and snicker. “Come on Memories, let’s blow this joint.” She said, taking the Cyndaquil, who I now know as ‘Memories’ into Beach Cave. Why would the go through Beach Cave though? There’s more pokemon in there…But that’s beside the point.

I lowered my own head down, staring at the ground. What will I do now? I’m not nearly strong enough or brave enough to go through Beach Cave alone…And Blake probably doesn’t even care. Why would he? He just saw how wimpy I am. He’s too cool to help a Riolu like me. ‘Riolu’s are supposed to grow to be big and tough! You’re such a disgrace to their name!’ My eyes start to water. For 14, I’m such a baby.

“Rei,” I felt someone bring up my chin. It was…Blake? “Don’t cry Rei,” He said, looking me in the eyes. He his hazing cerulean eyes are so hypnotizing….Such an odd shade, yet beautiful shade. I felt his hand whip right next to my eyes; was I really crying already? “Now smile, because we’re going in and getting whatever they took from you back.” He smiled and I listened and smiled as well. Just nodding, and not even bothering to tell him that Beach Cave is actually a dangerous, pokemon-infested place. Or maybe I just wanted to look more prepared so can show that I’m not a complete wimp…Even though it’s not fair.

“Thank you, Blake…” I feel my face warm up a little. He grinned a big, bright, and full of happiness grin. “Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” He said, nudging me in the arm to follow him. He was leading? I guess it’s better that me. I’d probably get us killed if I led anyways.

This’ll..be fun. Yeah, this will be fun. VERY fun.
