One Last Dance
This was my first ever fanfic!!!!!!
This is about a Chikorita that was born weird (she is purple instead of green) and also she has no parents. So the citizens of Poketown take her in and that's when she meets HIM! Her greatest love and downfall. If you like Cynthia the Chikorita she appears in my next fic, an Epic Adventure where a new villain appears and terrorizes everyone, more on that later though. This is a tragedy that means you might cry. The only time it is happy (more bittersweet then anything) is at the end and just barely so. This is also a slow story as I am trying to describe the characters so hold on till the end where it will be exciting. The Song that Charlie sings later is called In My Arms by Plumb; I thought it fit so there you go. I originally intended it for a one-shot but I wanted to submit it and have you guys judge it. The next chapter will conclude the story and also be longer.
Chapter one: Cynthia
The egg that stood out in the middle of the field was just like any other Pokemon egg. It had the usual purple and red stripes. However the Pokemon inside it was anything but ordinary as the citizens of the nearby town were sure to grasp. A Charmander, a fire type Pokemon was scavenging for rescue missions to undertake or Pokemon to rescue whichever one came first, it didn't much matter to him either way. He was named Charlie and the Guild just barely allowed him to go out on his own, they gave him an ultimatum and that was to either find a partner (any partner) in the next three days or he would be expelled from the guild. Teams had to have at least two Pokemon. This was his third day and he was beginning to become desperate. He was deep and thought and wasn't looking where he was going and this led him to trip over the Pokemon egg. "Ow, that hurt! What happened is it that damn Gengar again his team is always making trouble for me due to me being on a 1 man team. Luckily for Charlie it wasn't Team Horrible. He got up rubbing his head and contemplating various ways to destroy the team when he got the chance.
He was just about to give Team Horrible a piece of his mind when he noticed that Gengar was no where near the plain. Instead what he found, shocked him more then anything Gengar could do. It was an egg and not just any egg a Chikorita egg. He knew this because he secretly studied Pokemon Eggs. Secret because most Pokemon were able to know instinctually knew and he was raised by his parents not knowing. He walked slowly over to the egg on silent feet as if the noise would cause the egg to die. When he was a mere five inches from the egg he stopped and went over his options. On one hand the Chikorita inside could end up being his partner. He would have to be careful, the youngster inside would not know the Guild rules and Charlie had an idea what Team Horrible would do to the poor thing. He shuddered violently at the recollection of what happened the last time He had broken the rules. He was so busy pondering that he failed to notice that the egg was hatching. Finally a particularly loud crack woke him up from his thoughts.
He stared as more and more cracks appeared on the egg and finally with an unusually violent crack the egg shattered and the occupant was free. Charlie stared. He knew that Chikoritas were usually green but the one sitting there was purple with thin green stripes running down her back. He stared and when he noticed the Chikorita staring at him with a slightly worried expression as if she knew why he was staring. "Um." He couldn't say anything. He knew it was rude to stare but he had never seen a purple Chikorita. Don't get him wrong, he was abhorrent to cruelty of any shape or form and he hated himself for it. "Are you staring because I am purple?" The Chikorita's face was beautiful with yellow flakes cast about, and she had the most haunting eyes he had ever seen a vivid blue that seemed to pierce his own. "No, I am not little one; I am merely staring into your beautiful eyes." "Did I just say that out loud? _Oh my god where did that come from I haven't dated anyone since..... well ever." _As Charlie fought to keep from blushing, a hard task since the Pokemon in front of him was definitely alluring and he was wasn't sure if she was unconsciously using Attract on him. But then that was learned much later on. Not just out of the shell like this one was. She was moving closer and she was still staring at him with those haunting eye. She was quite simply the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. "I have nowhere to stay." Then she asked the one question that he was dreading." Where are my parents, are they around somewhere? I can't see them." And to his horror she actually began to look around as if hoping that they would pop out from behind a bush and shout "Surprise!" Charlie dreaded actually telling her and then she made his job easier. She said. "Since they are not here, I can only assume that they are dead or simply did not want me."
He stared hardly daring to believe that no one could want the stunning creature in front of him. She caught him staring and asked." What is that you are doing? Are you ashamed to be with me on the account that I am purple?" So she knew of her abnormal coloring. What was he to do? Well first things first give her a name. But what to name her? "No I am not ashamed to be with you little one. I was doing something called a blush. That is when we are embarrassed and when we say something particularly embarrassing for ourselves. Just this moment I was thinking of how beautiful..... you are." Did I just say that out loud. Or did I think it? Oh well its out now. All that's left is to see how she takes it." She simply blinked at him and then very faintly a red path appeared making her purple hue even darker. "T-t-t-t hanks" She blurted seeming to be mortified but slightly pleased at the same time. Then she said another question that surprised him. "What is my name. I seem to be in need of a name?" Charlie again stared but this time it as out of polite interest instead of embarrassed love. For he definitely seemed to be in love with her. But it was more like a sister. Someone that he wanted to protect from the evils of the world. "Well to be honest I haven't really thought of one for you." He then began to look at her really closely causing her to give him a slightly creeped out expression. Finally after what could only be described as five minutes he thought of the perfect name. "How about Cynthia or Cyn for short or something like that?" She squealed and then ran up and threw her paws around him. "That sounds just perfect. Thanks ..... Gee I don't even know your name. I was wondering who saved me." Charlie stood there pleased but also a bit confused on how he had saved her. "Pardon but how did I save you? I only came upon your egg, I did not save you from any enemies. And my name is Charlie. Charlie the Charmander at your services." They shook paws, the little flame on his tail seemed to burn brighter as her paw came into contact with his. Nobody noticed this however and they shook hands longer than necessary. Each wanted as long as possible to hold onto the other. Finally after what was too short for Cynthia, they released one another and stood back staring around at anything but the other as if hoping that they could both melt into the ground.
Finally the awkward silence was broken by Cynthia herself. "Where do you live? I was hoping that....." She broke off embarrassed at what she was going to say. But Charlie spared her the embarrassment that any awkward situation could do to a person. " It's okay, I was hoping that you would ask, makes my situation a little easier by far." She stared confused as to what he meant but before she could ask, he seemed to sense what he said that was confusing her. "Where I come from is some sort of Guild where a bunch of Pokémon form rescue teams and we all sleep in rooms and things like that, We are headed by a guildmaster a Wigglytuff. We don't really know what his name is but I am sure he will let you in. Maybe we can be partners or something." She was silent for a little while and then she cried tears of happiness and threw her paws around him and began to cry. He stared at the Chikorita crying in his arms and slowly his heart began to break. There would be teasing at the guild and he vowed to protect her from any and all abuse. He patted her with his paws and in that moment knew that they were going to be more then friends.
After some crying Cynthia pulled herself away and blushed again. Thank you and sorry about crying on your shoulder." Charlie waved it off and then said that they had better be going and they were off back toward the guild where he hoped that they would be well received.
To be Concluded
