(Zoroark's POV)

I felt sorry for Lucario. Out of everyone, he was the most depressed about the news of Junior's condition. He knew the chance of him getting better were slim but he still hoped for it. Everyday he was at his side for the past month just hoping for him to be better. Eventually, Lucario began accepting the fact that he may not make iy We all took turns helping Junior as best we can. We changed his bandages regularly and checked his wounds. His wounds became deep scars but they were healing. His heart rate was dangerously slow and he was still unconscious. During the day, Lucario and Blaziken took turns caring for Junior. During the night, Typhlosion and I take turns to care for him. Everything was fine for awhile...that is until he woke up.

"Hey..Zoroark can you help?" I turned my head to see Lucario standing at the door(we fixed it cause it was inhumane and very annoying) and I heard arguing behind him. I looked at Junior's body than at Lucario. I didn't like to leave during my shift but I had to shut those two up. "...Fine just watch him while I sort this out. I'll be back in a bit." I told the aura pokemon and started for the door.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"NO IT'S NOT! I DIDN'T KNOW!"

"OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WITH THAT PEA SIZED BRAIN OF YOURS!"

Geez I wonder who that is I thought sarcastically as I made my way to the living room. I saw Typhlosion and Blaziken arguing as usual. Typhlosion's collar was ablaze and Blaziken's wrists were ablaze too. Currently, Typhlosion is pinning Blaziken on the floor still insulting him. As much as I would've like to see them fight I had to stop them. I concentrated on the two and my vision began to glow a light blue. Soon Typhlosion and Blaziken were lifted into the air and separated.

"What the fuck? Zoroark! Put me down!" Typhlosion yelled at me as he didn't favor heights.

"Put me down too!" Blaziken glared down at me. I couldn't help but smirk at the sight of the two fire types. "I'll put you down.. if you say please..or beg." The two glanced at each other and sighed. "Can you let us down please?" They said in unison. My vision went back to normal and I smiled as I let them fall face first on the floor. Blaziken groaned in slight pain while Typhlosion gave me a cold glare. I chuckled as I left the two alone and heard them whisper something. The only word I heard was "payback."

I went back to the room where Lucario and Junior were. I entered to see Lucario watching Junior as instructed. He looked at me, smiled, than left me alone with an unconscious halfwolf.

(Typhlosion's POV)

My face stung like hell thanks to Zoroark. I will get revenge! I went to the shelves and tried to find the first aid kit. I found it behind a ragged brown book after a minute of searching and opened it up to see if anything can stop the stinging. I remembered when Junior taught us what each of these did from syringes to medicine and how to properly use them. It was back when he was human and when he was ali-...alive. I suddenly began to tear up from the nostalgic memory. I really hope he survives so I can tell him that I lo- "Hey Typhlosion what are you looking for?" A voice broke my train of thought and I turned around swiftly to see Lucario giving me a confused look.

"Oh.. u-um I was looking for the uh..b-bandages." I studdered as he looked at the kit on the floor and it's contents spilled on the floor. Lucario studied my face and got a questioning look on his face. Why is he looking at me like a weirdo? I thought as he kept staring at me. "Uh...Typhlosion not to be rude but were you crying?"Lucario asked with his head tilted to the side.

FUCK that's why he's staring at me! I turned away from him and continued to look for a painkiller or something. After awhile, I found the painkillers and popped one into my mouth. I turned back around to show Lucario what I was looking for.

"Why'd you need those?" He asked after I put them away.

"Well Zoroark lifted me and Blaziken in the air and made us fall face first in the living room." I growled.

"O-Oh Well sorry for sending him to calm you guys down. I didn't know he'd use Psychic on you two." Lucario apologized as he tapped his foot on the floor.

"It's okay. You didn't know he'll do that. I just hate how powerful he got with his dark and psychic attacks. It's really painful." I stated. Lucario began to look around the house than his eyes stopped on the clock. "Shouldn't you get ready? Your shift begins in a minute." Shoot! How can I forget something so important? I mentally slapped myself as I ran down the hallway. I saw the room at the end of the hall and as I reached for the doorknob it suddenly opened. On the other side, I saw Zoroark looking at me with anger in his blue eyes. "How can you almost forget your shift Typhlosion?" He asked in a somewhat annoyed tone. I pushed him aside, entered the room, and shut the door before Zoroark can do anything.

I took a glance at Junior. His condition was getting better. His deep cuts became scars, there wasn't any bloody rags or torn rags. The only thing that didn't change was that he was still unconscious. I sat on the brown chair next to the red and blue bed where he lay. I looked around the room to see if anything changed. The white walls began to take a light shade of grey. The wooden floors were the same (except with slotches of dry blood here and there). The shelf had many things from books to old photos that collected dust for the past month. Junior's computer was on the home screen which displayed a picture of a beautiful seashore.

Out of curiosity, I checked the shelf for something to district me for the next few hours. I took a look at the photos but none looked familiar. Just as I was about to grab a green plated book, I noticed a photo on top of the shelf. I grabbed it and my heart sank. It was a photo of a silver haired boy around 10 years old with brown eyes. He wore a black T-shirt, blue shorts, and grey shoes. He had a white backpack wrapped around his shoulders and a red pokeball in his right hand. He had a smile across his face and next to him was a.....cyndaquil. My eyes widened as the memory appeared in my head. It was the day Junior started his journey in Johto and chose me as his starter. I remember how no one wanted me and I was never chosen, then he came.

*Flashback*

(Junior's POV while human)

I ran past the doors of Prof.Elm's lab with excitement burning in my heart. This was the day that I begin my journey in Johto. I ran through the lab greeting all the assistants and made my way toward the professor's research room. I ran through the hall and was greeted by a thin man wearing a white lab coat and a blue shirt underneath. His hair was spiky and brown. He had dark green pants and brown shoes, his glasses were crooked to the left and his smile was small but noticeable. "Well hello, you must be Junior. Have you decided on your starter yet?" He asked in a happy tone. "Well... I haven't decided yet but can I see them first?" He nodded his head and went to a weird white machine. After pushing a few buttons, he took out three pokeballs.

"First the grass type Pokemon: Chikorita." The pokeball released a white light to reveal a green pokemon. It had a leaf on it's head and green buds around it's neck. It was on all fours with stubby feet and a small tail. She had a single nailed toe on each foot. Her red eyes focused on me as she tilted her head.

"Next is Totodile the water type pokemon." The light reveled a small blue alligator with a big jaw. He had a yellow V-shape stripe along his chest and red spikes on his back and tail. It had five claws on his hands and three toes.He stood on two feet unlike the other one. He looked at me and jumped excitedly.

"So which one do you want?" I looked at the Pokemon and realized that there was only two. Where was the fire type? I thought "Um.. professor there's only two where is the third?" I asked with a tilt of my head. "Oh... I didn't expect that you wanted to see him but... I guess." He opened the third ball and it reveled a small pokemon. It had a blue back, yellow stomach and it's eyes were closed. He also had a long, thin snout. He didn't have claws on his hands but had one on each of his hind legs. It's back was ablaze with hot, red fire. Once he saw me he backed away and ran behind the professor.

"This is Cyndaquil. He's the fire starter. I didn't expect you to ask for him because everyother trainer chose either Chikorita or Totodile. He has been here for two months alre-"

"I'll take him." I interrupted him earning a confused look from the professor. I looked at the pokemon and I smiled at him. After handing me a pokedex and a map, Prof. Elm gave me cyndaquil's pokeball. I thanked him and left the building with cyndaquil following behind. I opened the door and stepped outside with the pokemon. I turned to the cyndaquil and went on one knee so I was closer to his head. He began to shiver, but quickly calmed as I began to pet him. "Don't worry bud. I'll never hurt you or let anything hurt you. I promise." The cyndaquil began to nuzzle my leg in affection and we began our journey throughout Johto.

*End of Flashback*

(Typhlosion's POV)

A tear rolled down my face from the memory of Junior. I remember how I given up having a trainer but, as I was taken out of my ball I got a spark of hope. After being with Junior on his journey for a few months I developed a feeling for him that went beyond friendship. When I became a Typhlosion about five years ago, I realized that the feeling was...love. Sighing I put the photo back and wiped my tears away with my arm. I really did hope that he survives. Please Arceus let him live! I'll do anything! I thought with tears beginning to fall again.

"Ohhhh." My ears perked up in alert at the sudden moan. I remember that voice! It was.. "T-Typhlosion? W-What happened? Why does my ch-chest hurt?" I turned around to see a halfwolf staring at me. His clothes were torn and stained with dried blood. His natural expression had a hint of curiosity. I couldn't hold back my happiness as I ran toward the bed and tackled Junior down. "T-Typhlosion! Get off me! Your heav-OW!" He yelped when I accidentally pushed against his chest with my paw. "S-Sorry I didn't mean to.." At that moment, I realized that our faces were mere inches away from eachother. I began to blush at the fact that I was on top of him. I was about to turn my head so he couldn't see but, something caught my eye. I glanced at Junior to see his cheeks were red. Wait he's blushing? Why is he blushing? I thought but than I realized it. He..Does he like me? I thought happily. I need to find out!

"Junior. Why are you blushing?" I asked as he began to squirm.

"U-Um...I uh...it's to..hot. Yeah that's it." He replied. I stared at him with a stern look because I knew he was lying. "Ok Junior lies aside. Now tell me the real reason you're blushing. We're friends so I won't judge you." I calmly told him.

"I-I'd rather not. You'll hate me if you knew." He said shyly.

"Junior I'd never hate you. Your my best friend and you never let anything happen to me. I can't hate someone who I've been with for over 9 years. So...tell me ok? Please?" I begged him but he turned his head away. Growling, I cupped his face with my left paw so, he was looking at me. " Tell me." I growled accidentally scaring him. Fuck I didn't want him to be scared of me! I saw a tear fall down his face, as he wimpered in freight.

"J-Junior I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you...you don't need to tell me if you really don't want to."

"I-I..um...I-I'll tell you if you really w-want to know." His response shocked me as he began to close his brown eyes and take a deep breath. "Typhlosion, the real reason I was blushing was because I..well...I-I love....I love y-you."

(Junior's POV)

I waited for something to happen, but nothing did. Was Typhlosion disgusted by what I said that he won't even say anything? Will he hate me forever? Oh god, I think I just ruined my friendship with him. I thought worrisome as I slowly opened my eyes and saw him just staring at me. He didn't look mad or disgusted but his eyes were filled with.....lust? Before I can even react, Typhlosion swiftly pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened at the sudden act, while Typhlosion closed his eyes (obviously enjoying the moment). My cheeks began to burn like flames as I realized that Typhlosion was KISSING ME. My mind was racing. Does he like me? And if he does for how long has he had a crush on me? What will happen after today? Will everything be the same like if I didn't become this thing? My train of thought was broken as Typhlosion pulled away from the kiss. He had a puzzled expression on his face and he was tilting his head slightly.

"I thought you would've enjoyed that. But you didn't did you?" He asked with a saddened tone.

"I was...surprised that you......k-kissed me is all. If I knew beforehand, I would've returned the kiss, but I was taken by surprise." I hesitated unsure if he believed me or not. Just than, Typhlosion leaned closer until our muzzles were touching. His breath was very hot, spicy and smelled of peppers. He snickered as I was speechless about his advance.

"Weren't ready? Than next time, I'll warn you." He whispered then planted a quick kiss on my red cheek. "What ha-happened to my warning?" I asked quietly. "And can you get off me? I can't sleep with you on top of me."

"But if I'm not on top of you, than how can I enjoy your soft, silver fur?" Typhlosion began to caress my fur, making my cheeks a deep shade of crimson. "So how about...no?"

"Well then, I'll just push you off if you don't."

"Than try cause I bet you can't." Typhlosion smirked playfully. Growling, I attempted to push him off but to no avail.

"I find it cute how you think you can push me off!" He chuckled at my failed effort but I didn't give up. I continued to push him and for a second, I was able to lift him a few inches...but Typhlosion pressed down against me. "Nice try! But I'll never let you go! Not until tomorrow when Lucario takes his shift." I suddenly realized that I haven't seen the others since Blaziken nearly killed me. A chill went down my spine as I remembered the past event.

"Ty-Typhlosion."

"What?"

"W-Where are the o-others?" Typhlosion tilted his head in response. "Well...I think that they should be asleep, but I'm not to sure."

"W-Well I wanna sleep too, so......can you please get off me?" I asked the fire type. "Why? You can sleep with me on top of you...my mate." Typhlosion said lustful. He nuzzled my neck gingerly causing me to release a soft moan. "Ty-Typhlo-oshion! S-S-Stop it!" I accidentally yelled and startled Typhlosion. He pressed his lips against mine, sealing me in a kiss to silence my yells. After a minute, he pulled away and whispered into my ear. "You really are loud. You should learn to be quiet." He got off me and began to walk toward the door, but turned to face me. "I'll let you rest, but get ready for tomorrow. Once the others realized your awake, they won't leave you alone since we almost lost you...Goodnight_...._Junior." He opened the door and left my room. Sighing, I laid down on my bed, closed my eyes, and let the darkness slowly block my vision.

(Blaziken's POV)

"Hey! Blaziken wake up!" Lucario said as he shook me awake from my deep slumber. Groaning, I opened my eyes to see the jackal-like pokemon looking at me with a smile. "What the hell do you want Lucario? I was having a peaceful sleep!" I growled. Oh how I hate being woken up. Usually, Lucario and the others normally leave me alone when I sleep. The last person who woke me up was....Junior. The reason was because I missed training during the journey through Johto. I wish we can go on a journey in this region, but.... we can't.

"Blaziken I got some exciting news!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"What is it?" I growled. "I swear if it's about something I don't care.."

"Junior's awake! He's outside with Typhlosion!" I immediately stood from the bed and I glared at the fighting pokemon. "Lucario if your lying, I will tear you limb from limb!" "But I'm not lying! You and Zoroark are the only two who haven't seen him yet! Junior told me to see if anyone else was awake...so I came to wake you up!" Upon hearing this, I ran past Lucario and through the door. I continued throughout the house knocking down tables and an innocent lamp. I saw the door that lead outside and opened it abruptly.

I was greeted by a soft breeze followed by the sound of trees blowing against the wind. I glanced up to see many pokemon flying high in the sky. The sight was pretty, but there was a reason I'm out here. I looked ahead to see two figures standing in the middle of the yard. One of which was obviously Typhlosion, but the other figure was different. He wore a black jacket and hood. He also had black pants as well as grey shoes. His hands were covered by silver gloves with red lines down the fingers. He had his right hand on his hip with a brown belt around it with four pokeballs surrounding it. Typhlosion's ears perked up as he slowly turned to see me.

"Blaziken? I thought you'd be asleep? Well....come over here, I want you to meet someone." He gestured toward the hooded figure and I advanced toward them until I was behind the unknown figure. "Hello? Who are you?" I asked the figure. He slowly turned around, but I couldn't see his face due to the hood. "Well hello Blaziken. Its been a while, hasn't it?" His voice was familiar but I couldn't tell how.

"What do you mean? I've never seen you before." Typhlosion began to chuckle at my remark. "Oh Arceus! You really don't use your brain, do you Blaziken?.... Whatever. Hey ma-..er I mean buddy, take off the hood."

Before I can say anything to Typhlosion, the hooded figure took off his hood to reveal... Junior. I mentally facepalmed myself as I realized how stupid I was. Seeing Junior alive and well brought tears to my eyes. Before anyone can react, I grabbed Junior and hugged him tight. He yelped in surprise at my sudden action. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! P-Please forgive me! I didn't mean to hurt you! I didn't know you were turned into a wolf! Please Junior, c-can you forgive me?" My tears damped Junior's jacket and his hood. I heard Typhlosion chuckle, but I didn't care if he saw me crying because I'd rather have that then Junior hating me.

"It-It's ok. I f-forgive you. You really didn't know so it's not your fault. Just stop crying. Ok?" He said smoothly which helped calm me down. I closed my eyes as I was glad from Junior's forgiveness. We hugged for what seemed like eternity (it was actually just 3 minutes.) We ended the hug when I heard someone clear their throat. I looked behind Junior to see Typhlosion glaring at me with his red eyes. His anger was well hidden behind his fake smile. Junior must've felt Typhlosion's anger, cause he pulled away from the hug.

"I-I...uh..Well when Zoroark comes back, I'll announce the g-good news." Junior studdered.

"What news?" Typhlosion and I said in unison. We both looked at eachother in confusion and reverted our attention back to Junior. He tapped his shoes on the dirt shyly before he looked at me. "It something you guys might enjoy. Well atleast I hope that you will enjoy it." Junior glanced at Typhlosion with a faint smile. But they both turned away from eachother when Junior blushed. He was hiding something and I was determined to find out what that secret was.

"Junior? Is that you?" We turned our heads toward the gates to see Zoroark coming through them. He was carrying a brown basket full of supplies. He smiled as he saw Junior. "Typhlosion can you take these inside?"

"Sure." He grabbed the basket off the illusion fox's paws and went inside. Once Typhlosion was inside, Zoroark walked up to Junior and gave him a friendly handshake. "Now that your here, I can tell everyone the good news!" Junior exclaimed happily. "What news?" Zoroark asked. He looked at me for an answer, but I just shrugged my shoulders. "I'll tell you guys later. Right now....What did I miss while I was knocked out?"

(Junior's POV)

It took one hour to learn what I missed during the two months. Apparently, Zoroark learned how to use Psychic without hurting himself. Typhlosion and Blaziken were able to use Fire Pledge and Blast Burn by themselves. And Lucario somehow learned Dragon Pulse. They have made more progress alone then they did with me. At the moment, Lucario was telling me the last bit of stuff that happened during my unconscious state. "We managed to keep people from coming inside the house, but your parents came by and they nearly saw.." "MY PARENTS CAME?" I yelled interrupting Lucario mid-word.

I sat speechless on the living room couch letting my mind wonder. Why would they visit? Didn't they hated me? Is there a twisted reason for visiting...or are they sorry for abandoning me for so long? But than again, why would I forgive those bastards? I thought bitterly. All my thoughts turned dark from the mixed emotions. Anger, Sadness, Guilt, Joy, and Love. I grabbed my head and yelled loud enough to startle the four pokemon. I heard multiple voices, but they were distant. Except for the one in my head.

You can't escape fate,

You will die,

We will find you.

Just except it,

No one loves you.

You should've died earlier.

The voice was deep, slow, and raspy. It sounded like a man, but it was almost impossible to tell. It's words echoed in my brain, slowly driving me insane. I continued to yell as loud as possible accidentally scaring the pokemon. "Your lying! I don't believe you! People do care! Get the fuck out of my head!" I yelled. Suddenly, a pair of paws grabbed my shoulders and shook me. I couldn't see because my vision was blackened, but I could faintly hear someone.

"Junior! Get a hold of yourself! Focus on my voice!" I did as the faint voice said and focused on his voice. The voice began to get clearer the more I focused on it. After a few seconds, my vision cleared to reveal Typhlosion in front of me. His paws were on my shoulders and his eyes were directly ahead of mine. I pulled him into a tight embrace while I was sobbing. He was shushing slowly and calmly began to whisper. "It's going to be okay. Everything is alright. You can calm down. I won't let anything hurt you." He was slowly caressing my silver fur until I rose my head off his cream colored fur. I looked at his eyes to see several emotions of Freight, Sadness, Grief. "What happened? Junior, what happened when your eyes turned pitch black?" Blaziken asked worryly. Pitch black? Is that why I couldn't see before? I thought. I separated from Typhlosion and I stumbled to stand. With help from Zoroark, I was able to stand in the middle of the living room and I told them what I heard.

"Fate? Wait..you mean that you were supposed to die when Blaziken almost killed you?" Lucario asked. He began to fidget upon hearing what he said.

"I-I believe s-so. But the part that s-scares me most is when the voice said t-that I will die." I studdered. I was very afraid of my death but I have to be strong. "We s-should get out of here. Luckily, we have the best reason to leave Vaniville town." I said somewhat happy. All the pokemon (especially Blaziken) were confused at what I said.

Where are we going Junior? The random voice startled me due to what happened moments before. Don't worry. It's me, Lucario. You fucking douche! I thought aggressively. Why would you use Telepathy after what happened! Sorry, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise for the others. Fine, but don't use telepathy on me again! I thought. Aye, Aye captain. I reverted my attention back to the others. "So where are we going?" Zoroark asked. "Yes, where are we going Junior?" Lucario said tauntingly. Ignoring his question, I looked toward the pokemon with a slight smile. "Typhlosion, Zoroark, Blaziken, Lucario...We are going on another journey!"

{2 hours later}

"You guys ready?" I asked the four pokemon. They all nodded their heads with gigantic smiles across their faces. "So...where do we go?" Blaziken asked full of excitement. Damn, he is really excited. I thought happily. I looked at my Poke-gear then I checked the Map app. The map was fairly big, bigger than the Johto region for sure. "Uh...we're going to Aquacorde town, which is just beyond the gates. Then, through Santalune forest to get to Santalune city. Our first goal is to get to Lumiose city, which is the biggest city in this region." I glanced up to see Blaziken leaning toward me to see the map. I stumbled back in surprise, which made me fall on my back. Blaziken helped me up and I glared at him. "Sorry. Just wanted to see the map." He apologized. My anger subsided from his apology. I heard a slight chuckle from Lucario and Zoroark, but Typhlosion looked very annoyed.

"So...to make things..safe, I should only have one of you out at.."

"Choose me!"

I followed the voice to find out it was Typhlosion. He ran up to me and leaned closer toward my silver, wolf ears. "Please let me be by your side. I don't want to be in that ball when I could be with my mate. And mabye later we can do... you-know-what." He whispered lustfully. I instantly began blushing. My God! Why would he talk about that right now? I thought. I looked at Typhlosion to see him giving me a pleading look which convinced me automatically. "Okay so Typhlosion will be the first one to travel with me." Blaziken wined in protest, but it didn't work.

He, Zoroark, and Lucario were absorbed into the pokeballs in a red light shortly after. After putting the three pokeballs on my belt, I proceeded to put my hood on. I didn't need anyone seeing me as a halfwolf. If they did, they'd run in fear due to my inhuman features...or they might try to hunt me down. Typhlosion gave me a little kiss on my cheek causing me to blush a deep red.

"Thanks for letting me be the first to travel with you, Junior."

"Well, you did pressure me into agreeing when you looked at me pleadingly. By the way, we are NOT doing You-know-what this soon!"

"Aw.....but I want us to actually be mates!"

"Typhlosion! We might but that's later and if you keep bothering me about it than your going in the fucking pokeball!" I yelled angrily. He flinched against what I said. He lowered his head in shame causing my heart to throb in sadness. Sighing, I walked in front of Typhlosion and brought my paw toward his chin, lifting it so he was looking at my brown eyes. I pressed my lips against his passionately. Typhlosion closed his eyes as he pressed toward the kiss. I felt my tail wagging at a fast, steady pace. I attempted to pull away, but Typhlosion kept an arm behind my head which locked me in the kiss. After a few minutes, Typhlosion pulled away from the kiss (due to loss of breath).

"Shall we start the journey?" Typhlosion asked me. I nodded in agreement as we left Vaniville and immediately stepped into Aquacorde town. That was fast. I thought annoyed. We get prepared to start the journey and we're already at the next town. Not even a minute passed... whatever at least Santalune forest was nearby. We went over the bridge that connected Aquacorde to Route 2. The route looked short, but than again it was a beginning route. I heard several pokemon from Pidgeys to Zigzagoon to the Kalos' native bird, Fletchling.

I heard some voices ahead, so Typhlosion and I sped up to see what it was. In the middle of the grass, there were three kids around 13 years. Upon further examination, I realized there were two girls accompanied by a boy. As we got closer, Typhlosion and I hid behind the trees so we were able to overhear their conversation without them seeing us.

"WOW! The Pokemon goes INSIDE the Pokeball?!" One of the girls exclaimed very loudly. It was very hard to see from behind the trees, but I could kinda see her. She was wearing a pink shirt, pink boots, and a short blue skirt. She had a pink and white bag and her hair was brown. She must be new to this. I thought rudely. Typhlosion must've thought the same thing because he looked at me confused. "Shauna....what do you think your Chespin is in right now?" The boy said to the girl(who I presume is Shauna). "Calem, calm down. She is very excitable so she over looks things." The other girl told Calem, who sounded annoyed. Typhlosion laughed somewhat loud due to their argue and it caught their attention. Calem began to walk toward our direction slowly which worried me.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Calem yelled confidently. Without warning, Typhlosion walked toward them making the three trainers gasp. What the hell is he doing?! I thought worried. "What pokemon is that?" Shauna asked but the other two shrugged their shoulders unknowlageable about what Typhlosion is. "Well...it looks strong so we should all attack it. One of us is bound to catch it once it's weak enough." Calem stated as the trio got their pokeballs in hand ready to fight. I have to stop him. Typhlosion won't give them a chance. I thought. Hesitating, I walked into the clearing right beside Typhlosion. I set my paw (which was covered by my gloves) on Typhlosion's head and began petting him.

"For the safety of your Pokemon, I highly recommend that you don't fight Typhlosion." I warned them while attempting to sound professional. I looked at the trio and since I was not hiding behind the trees, I was able to actually see Calem. Calem was wearing a jacket that was blue and white with blue jeans. His bag was black the same for his combat boots. His hair was black but his eyes were gray. "Uh...is this your...." Calem stopped himself abruptly (probably because he didn't know Typhlosion's name)

"Yeah. This pokemon is mine and his name is Typhlosion. The reason you don't know his species is because he originates from the Johto region." I stopped petting Typhlosion and he looked at me strictly.

"Why'd you stop? I was enjoying that."

"Because I can't pet you forever or you'll be spoiled."

"No I won't! I promise. Just keep petting me." He nudged his head against my shoulder yearning for me to pet him.

"Later if you behave" I pushed him away gently but still firm enough so he stumbled. I reverted my attention back to the young trainers to see them looking at me weird. For a minute or so no one said a word making the scene awkward. The only sounds that were heard were the chirps of Fletchling and my foot tapping the dirt. After 20 more second of silence, someone spoke up.

"Uh...did you just talk to him?" The voice didn't belong to Shauna or Calem but it was from the other girl. She stepped forward to stop in front of me. She was wearing a black top, a red dress along with long black socks and black shoes. Her bag was colored magenta. Her hair was a light shade of brown (which looked like honey), her eyes were the same as Calem's being gray. She also was the only one wearing a hat. It was mainly red, but there was a black line across the bottom of it. White sunglasses were on top of her hat as well.

"I asked you a question, sir." She said impatiently. Typhlosion began poking me firmly in my side causing sharp pain to surge through me. I tried to ignore the pain, but I winced from it. I knew that was payback for pushing him earlier. "Y-Yeah. So? What about it?" I said sounding like a jerk.

"How?" The girl asked. "Yeah how?!" Shauna asked excited. In desperation I looked over to Typhlosion, who shook his head. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves because I knew I had to protect my secret. Nobody was an exception.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you kids. I could only trust my secret with close friends and my pokemon. It was nice meeting you kids, but I must be going. Hopefully we will see eachother again..." I walked toward the forest with Typhlosion by my side. Before we entered, I felt something grab by bag causing me to stop in my tracks. I turned around to see the girl again. She was looking at me with a small smile.

"How about I go with you on your journey? You seem nice and you seem to know a good bit about pokemon since you came from Johto."

"Are you sure? I don't normally travel with other people. Also, why do you trust a complete stranger when we only met minutes before?" I asked.

"Because like I said, you seem nice and I need someone who can help me on my journey so...can I join your adventure?" She asked nicely. Glancing at Typhlosion, he shook his head in disapproval. Sighing, I had to choose. Should she come with us? Or not? I thought. Maybe she can be of use. She has determination which is good, but than again I don't want a human seeing me as a halfwolf.Than again, I also need someone to talk to who isn't a pokemon. I decided. I looked at Typhlosion who was glaring at me. He's going to hate my choice.

"Ok..you can come....uh."

"Name's Serena. What's yours and where is your first destination?" She asked.

"Name's Junior and we're going to Lumiose city." I replied. She stretched out her hand in a friendly gesture. I shook her hand with a smile on my face.

"We should head out now before it gets to dark. Ready Junior?"

"Of course." We entered the woods beginning our journey once again.
