#2 of Kenji


I don't own pokemon cause it belongs to nintendo. Not me:P

It has been several days since Kenji left Bern's humble abode to find a place to call his own. If knew it was going to this hard he would have actually thought of a better plan then just improvising. He sighs as he looks around for a place to rest after another day of coming up empty looking for a home. Last few days have been eventful to say the least.

The first day after he had left Bern's den, he had ran across a pack of sycthers who seem to be just looking for something to chop to pieces. Of course Kenji realizing he was out number despite having a type advantage over them. Bern first lesson that he had taught Kenji on survival in the wood is no matter how strong you are sometimes numbers can over can type advantage or strength . " Never think just because you are stronger than one or two of the mon's who live in the forest, that they won't come back with their pack or others to kill you. " he had once heard Bern tell him.

Knowing full well they would kill him with numbers alone he retreated. Of course the pack of scythers didn't want to give up their prey. They perused Kenji for what seemed to him like forever. Till finally they got bored chasing him it seemed and gave up. The only thing he could think of after seeing the scythers leave was "Finally I can rest". "Damn bastards chasing me like I am some stanler for them to feast on. Bunch of over sized bugs"

This seem to be a pattern over the next few days with most of the inhabitants of the forest they either wanted to attack him for entering there territory. It seemed that he never caught a break, like the forest was out to get him.

He looked to the sky and saw a flock of pigey flyby. He raises his claw up to block out the sun. Then he saw the real problem. The color of his skin, his skin was blue. The usually color for his most charmeleon's was red or orange. Once Bern told him there was a gold Charzarid. Of course Kenji scoffs at that idea; then he would look at his own color and realize that it might have been true. It wasn't his fault he was born different.

He slowly walked over to a nearby tree and sat under its cool shade. For being a fire type he always seemed to not care much for heat. He had always liked the water, which one of the reasons Bern was always called Kenji vaporeon. This would always piss Kenji to no end, much to Bern's enjoyment. As Bern would tell Kenji to go find a nice vaporeon and knock her up,and raise a litter of little evees and charmanders. They would always fight after that statement, in which Bern would always win because he was just stronger than Kenji. Not to say that Kenji didn't try, but Bern would always win simply put Bern was stronger than Kenji. No matter what Kenji what move or trick he to do Bern, would just simply overpower him. To make matters worse would sit on him until he gave up.

Kenji remembers telling Bern one day he would evolve to a Charizard and he would beat him then. Bern response to this was"Yeah but then you be an oversize vaporeon with wings."This made it even worse because Kenji most of the time had no comeback, and simply pout or fume over what Bern had just said.

He always hated that, he really missed Bern. He wished that he hadn't had to leave, but Bern had told him he had to find his own place to live. He was in Bern words "cramping his style" what ever the hell that meant. Kenji sighs realizing sitting their thinking about things he can't control would never solve his immediate problems. A new dwelling to call his own, in other words a new home. As he started to get up he heard, more like felt, his stomach growl very loudly. A slight chuckle came out. "If this was an attack I would scare most anyone away from me with that."

He started to look around the immediate area to see if there where some berry bushes around to eat for now. He doubts that he could find some stanlters or even a rattata to feast on. Also since he didn't have the strength to find some pond or lake to have fish instead, that was always Bern's favorite meal. He would have to settle for some berries though some Pecha berries would be nice. As he looks around for a bit he discovers a small clearing that seemed to have a field of berries which seemed to go on forever.

He looked around for a bit wondering if anyone had laid claim to this. Well they won't mind if he had claimed some berries for himself. There were abundant amount of berries here so no one will miss a few. He rushes to the bushes looking for his favorite berries. Even though he was told by Bern that they were only used for helping it you were poisoned by an Arbok or some other poison type out there. He had loved the taste of them very sweet and juicy. He found the bush that had them on it. He started to eat to his heart content, when he heard some rustling behind him. He knew who ever it was. "No." he thought there was more than one damn it he realize his mistake why they're so many bushes here without any other's eating from it. It belongs to some pack or even a clan of the area. He prayed it belong to a pack he could try to out run them, they would only sometimes follow to the edge of there area. A clan would most likely hunt him down and kill him regardless where he went.

He dived into the bushes to get some more cover for now to see what his options maybe he'll be lucky and talk his way out of this. Yeah and he'll be able to shot a water attack at them with, fat chance of that happening. Several of Sneasel came out of the bushes. "We see you in there vaporeon come out of there so we can have some fun. " One of the other sneasel walked over to the one who was just talking "I am telling you it was a charmeleon." The first one" Look idiot there is no such thing as a blue charmeleon so it has to be one of those damn vaporeon's of the water clan. Who else would have the gall to here like this" another sneasel said "A gryarados." The other two sneasel turn back and punch him and shouted "SHUT UP YOU IDOIT!!!"

Kenji couldn't believe his luck. A group of Sneasel's how this can get any worse than it is now. Then a weavile walked out as all the sneasel shut up immediately in its presence. He knew he was in trouble the sneasel could have been talked down because it seemed they weren't too bright. The weavile who looked like the leader looks like someone who enjoys the kill. He heard from others who lived near Bern that sneasel and weaviles were ruthless killers. They took great offense to anyone who entered their area. Next to anyone who lived in the forest knew never to cross them, unless you wanted to die that badly. At this Kenji started to wonder if he was just born under a bad moon.

"I can see you in there little one come out and we can....talk about this intrusion into our land. "The Weavile said in a very light femaine yet seductive voice. Kenji knew better as soon as he went out of the cover of the bushes they would attack. "It had to be a female." he thought, he had learn that most females who were pack leaders were more vicious especially to prove their worth to the rest of the pack. Being a female weavile didn't help the matters especially since they were most dangerous. The day just keeps getting better and better.

He knew fell well a frontal assault was worthless due to the numbers they had. If it were 2 or 3 maybe, no way with numbers they had out there. Running was also worthless they were, as he had heard extremely fast, and would over take him in no time. He needed a head start if anything if he was going to get away. He watched as the sneasel slowly approached the bushes. He came up with an idea he hope it would give him at least a few seconds head start, but realize no one would be that stupid to fall for it. Then again what other options did he have with them closing in fast?

Kenji jumped out of the bushes to the surprise of the sneasels. He pointed to his left and shouted "Look it Lord Entei ruler of all the LAND!!!!!"For a second he believed they would all fall over laughing at his stupid comment or just out right attack. Much to his surprise some were bowing in fear, a few others were looking to where he had just pointed. "Where I don't see him" One sneasel said. While another said "I think that's him by those 2 tress" "No that's some clouds idiot I think that's him over to the left a little right by those bushes." Another one pointed to. Kenji stood there for a second and realized this only chance to get away, and ran off like his life depended on it, which it did.

The Weavile leader roared at the sneasel "You idiots he's getting away after him." Pointing angrily in the direction to where Kenji had just ran to. Most at this jumped up, and chased Kenji. As he was running he couldn't believe his luck it worked better than he thought. He heard them cutting through the brush like it was water. He keep looking over his shoulder to see how fast, and how much distance he had between them. They were cutting the distance between them and him fast. Kenji realized that he was running out of options fast.

One had over taken the others faster than he had thought as a sneasel leap out of bushes to his left. Barley moving out of the way of his slashes in time he was grazed by the quick sneasel. As soon as the sneasel landed tried taking another swipe at Kenji, he quickly grabbed the sneasel and threw him into his oncoming friends. With that Kenji took off again.

Bursting out of the forest and running into another problem. It seems the found the Sycthers he had trouble with a few days ago were in front of him especially the one he had burnt the wings off of. They angrily looked at him. That's when he had another great idea. "My pack will be here any minute you better leave now. "The scythers all started to laugh at him at the stupidity of this charmeleon. That's when the sneasel burst out the forest charging toward them. The scythers realized then maybe he wasn't lying and attacked the intruders. Kenji shot out flames towards the scythers making them scatter from it, as Kenji plowed right through and continue to run as the battle ensued between the scythers and sneasel.

He ran a bit longer hoping that they all gave up on him and kill each other off. He walked a bit more as he listens and looks to see if anyone is still coming after him, and that's he hears running water. That's when he realized then that he was thirsty, tried and drained from today's little adventure. So he walked a bit further towards the water. It was a river nothing to drastic a nice little river. Now he thought he could catch some fish without hopefully someone calming the river as their own. Slowly he walks over to drink from the river, when a noise catches his attention. He turns around and notices that he is not alone.

The pack of sneasel that has been following him all day looked a bit batter and bruised. Expect the leader the Weavile she looks untouched by today's events. Kenji slowly rises up to look at her, she actually looks cute despite the point that she and her followers most likely want to end his life in a very brutal way. "Well you led us on a merry little chase you blue Oran berry. "She states in a sultry voice."I would love to keep you a pet but my pack wants your head, because of the little run you gave them today. "She slowly moves her claw hands gently across his face and a wicked grin grew across her face. "Make it a painful death my little ones. "As she jumps back to let the sneasel have their way with him.

Kenji raises his head up a bit, takes a deep breath and roars. This throws the sneasel off balance for a bit, as he sets fire to the ground around him creating a firewall between the sneasel and him. "This little fire won't stop us" the female mock's him." I know I just need to ready myself for this. "He takes a step back towards the water."What you going to go swimming. Everyone knows full well tha......" she stops speaking when she notices Kenji jumping into the water and actually swimming across it. One of the sneasel from earlier whispers to his friend "I told you he was a vaporeon." The other sneasel with a look of disbelief across his face" I guess your right."

Kenji slowly but painfully climbs out of the water looking across to see if they were going to try to follow. Notices the face on the leader was one a hateful spite. As she screams at them to follow him, the sneasel shake there head knowing full well they can't swim. She eventually turns around and leaves in a huff. The others wait for a bit before following knowing full well they were in deep trouble for letting Kenji get away. He sighs as he sees them leave. Glad that they finally gave up on him, and slowly turns to find some place to rest his weary body. He finds some bushes to hide from prying eyes.

The biggest misconception about fire types especially charmaders, chameleons, and charizards. Is that if they enter water their tail flame would go or they would die outright form being in water. Actually their flame on there tail was a representation of their life-force and power they posses. Yes water does hurt them. It felt like thousands of pine needles were pricking him all at once. It was ridiculous to think they never went into the water, how else would they clean themselves. Dumb morons he thought bitterly. Well this little misconception may have saved his life in more ways than one. As he laid there he realizes how tough it is out here in the real world without someone to look after you. He missed Bern despite all the names and jokes at his expensive. He hated everything. Especially her who he felt did this to him. A small tear falls from his eye thinking about that. He puts his claw hands to his face as he tries to stop the tears from coming out know full well they won't stop. He cries himself to sleep praying to anyone out there who would hear his plea to just make all the pain go away.

Please review and rate I need to get better so please tell me what I am doing wrong
