A scary night ends in a new future.(For shin & me)

Bel would have already shifted into the realms of unconsciousness as he dived through the flames shot out by Vulpix. With a great amount of force still carrying him forwards however, somehow he would manage to carry out his attack and knockout the enemy along with himself. All that remained now was Growlithe and the Swablu, though with his attention purely on his downed ally, Growlithe would be caught off guard as the foe swooped down from the heavens and struck rather swiftly with it's beak.

With a yelp, Growlithe would be sent tumbling along the ground rather harshly. This would quickly end however a he dragged his paws along the floor to stop himself, which would at the same time cause a line of dust to begin to rise. Growler at this point looked as if he was about to retaliate, however he seemed to be very distracted by Beldum, who his eyes would keep shifting towards. This was Growler's first time seeing his ally knocked out, and clearly it was starting to get to him. "Dammit." Shinzu muttered as he noticed the poor condition his two Pokemon were in.

"Growler won't be able to take another hit and that stupid Swablu is still at full health..." He thought to himself before dashing out onto the battle field to grab hold of Growlithe before he would leap forwards. With a firm grip on his Pokemon, Shinzu would restrain him as he began barking furiously at the enemy. "Time out! Let's take a break!" Yelled Shinzu before he winked at Fiona. Clearly, it was quite obvious he had lost this battle, however there was no way of restraining Growler without at least pretending this was some kind of draw. "We can continue this later, right?" He said with a grin before once again winking.

Fiona saw how her vulpy defeated shinzu his beldum, all was down to blu and his growlithe, blu hadnt taken any damage yet while growler had, and blu her attack landed aswell, she wondered what shinzu and growler would do, maybe they would come up with a plan and find a way to defeat blu, she didnt hope that would happen at all. She waited for blu to catch some height before she would order another attack.

But then shinzu stepped in and picked growler up, was this battle going to end? what was happening it was like shinzu gave up without giving up, it seemed more like a draw then that she won, he said that it was a time out and they should take a break, and continue the fight later, she nodded and said, while stutteting'' o-okay thats fine'' as soon as the battle was over she got back to her usual shy self.

She then ran over to vulpy and picked her up, after rubbing her head vulpy started licking her hand and then fiona laughed again, a few secconds later blu landed on her head, patting him with her right hand and holding vulpy with the other she walked to the tree to sit down close to the fire.

Taking a deep deep breath, and gathering lots of courage she said '' That was a fun battle, your good and you have nice friends.'' She said it allmost with no stuttering which was a big feat for the young lady. ''a-are you on a journey, or '' she asked hoping to learn to know more about shinzu but she didn't dare ask more then that. her vulpy was licking her hand hoping to make her more comfortable, she hoped that their battle hadn't attracted some kind of weird bugs or any other pokemon.

"What's wrong? You seemed a lot more confident when fighting." Shinzu laughed at the end of his sentence as he noticed that Fiona had returned to her shy self. Releasing his grip on Growler, Shinzu would watch as his Pokemon jumped down onto the floor before turning to look back at his master. Extending his arm outward, the teen would reply by quite simply patting the canine before running his hand against his soft orange fur. "Good job, but now it's time to rest." Grabbing his Pokeballs, Shinzu would then press the buttons on them, causing two beams of light to explode outward before swallowing both Growlithe and the unconscious Beldrum.

"Whew that was tough." He said before stretching, almost as if it was Shinzu who had just done all the fighting rather than his Pokemon. "Hm? Why yes, I am on a journey!" Grabbing his backpack, the teen would loosen it so that is was freely hanging behind his neck, almost like a cape. He would then strike a heroic pose, almost as if he was about to proclaim his destiny. "It is my goal to have... TO HAVE! The largest harem ever!" A silent wind would then begin blowing at the end of his sentence, followed by a rather awkward silence. "Heh... Ops, shouldn't have said that out-loud.. Ah well!" He muttered before resting closer towards the fire, opposite to Fiona.

When shinzu stated that something looked wrong and she was more comfortable during the battle. And she seemed more confident aswell. What should she say she was very shy and wondered what she could say. " when i battle its my fault my friends get hurts, and i d-dont want that. T-they are my friends and mean so m-much to me and I d-dont want them to get hurt" she said while petting vulpix and trying to spreak in an understandable way. She was scared and vulpy was licking her hand to make her feel comefortable.

"Y-you are a good batteler and your friends are strong" she said when shinzu told her it was a though battle. It was indeed she was happy her vulpy was recovering and didnt seem to hurt when on her lap. He then told her. He was on a journey aswell and that he wanted to creTe the biggest harem. Followed up by sayin he shouldn't have said that. "W-whats a harem" she asked in a shy tone never ever having heard the word before she looked around and felt her eyes getting heavier. " d-d-do y-you want t-to travel t-together shinzu, i-it would be less scary and m-more fun and our pokemon could get friends" she was really shy and started blushing.

"Hm? But it's only a little pain, besides! They can heal right up." Shinzu said so in response to Fiona's comment about her not wanting her pokemon to get hurt. After he spoke those words, he would take out Growler's pokeball before giving it a slightly rub, almost as if he was petting the Growlithe inside. "Don't ask me why, but sometimes I get the feeling that Growler over here loves pain. Well, maybe it's just battling that he loves, but in the end that's the same thing." With a grin, the teen put away the pokeball before his eyes began to dart back and forth as the scanned the pitch black surroundings.
"Doesn't look like we attracted anything." With the area proclaimed as safe, Shinzu would lay down on the ground and use his arms as pillows before looking over to Fiona. "It might be pitch black right now, but I doubt there are very many hours left until daybreak. How about a quick nap? We can wake up at sunrise and enjoy the view before heading out of the forest." Clearly thinking of himself as the one in charge, the teen wasted no time in bossing around Fiona before his eyes lids would collapse to drown out the outside world. Not that there was very much difference between the darkness of having his eyes closed compared to the pitch-black shadows lurking everywhere in the dead of night.

"Thanks, that was a tough fight for me too." He replied with his eyes still closed. Just as he was about to let his mind send him into a dream however, something Fiona said would suddenly cause Shinzu's eyes to widen as he began violently coughing. "Hehe... A harem... Well, you are too young to know about that kind of stuff, let's pretend I didn't say anything!" As if testament to his nervousness, the teen completed that entire sentence while flapping his hands around violently, giving off the image of a bird ready to take off into the air. Before he could worry about his own nervousness however, Shinzu would suddenly become distracted by Fiona's blushing face. "Hmm, you want to adventure with me? Hmm... I'll think about- HAH! Just kidding, of course I'll hang around with you! There's no way I could leave a lady like you alone anyway."

Phiola listened to her new friend she smiled how he was talking aBout pokemon and told her it didnt hurt them but that they maybe even liked to fight. His growlithe called growler might even enjoy battles and getting hurt. It seemed like a trustable and nice friend. She smiled at seeing how much the pokemon ment for her friend and that did her really well. Shinzu then looked around to see if everything was safe. And it was, he stated that they could probably go for a nap since it would be light soon. She felt much more save with shinzu and that did her good. She was really tored and it seemed like a good idea. She yawned and folded up something from her back and put it in her neck. It seemed like shinzu was taking the lead, but she didnt mind he was cleay older and woser and she didnt mind him takin the lead if he would help her. She smiled a bit and said " I am happy everything is safe thank you, and some sleep would do me very well" she said yawning again.

Fiona looked at shinzu who was relaxing aswell dhe was very happy to have met shinzu and he was a super though fighter with some nice pokemon. He told her she had done a goodjob and that made her smile and a bit more confident. When shinzu didn't want to tell her what a harem was. She agreed to that knowing it might something not concerning to a girl of her age. She nodded agreeingly. When shinzu told her about that he would think about letting her joining his adventure. But apparently he was joking and she could join him that was very fun. She would see the world and have someone who could help her she didnt really know how to fend for herselfs. " thanks shinzu, you are so kind I hope we have a lot of fun and meet more pokemon friends". Her voice became softer and slowly her eyes fell shut and the young girl fall asleep, in a deep deep sleep.

With a mighty yawn, Shinzu would empty his lungs of all air before he would at last open his eyes into nothing more than a squint. Groaning from how early it was, he then pushed himself off the ground, however with how suddenly his body had to adjust from resting to standing, his legs quite simply crumpled under the weight of his body and sent him back towards the dusty ground. "Ugh..." He moaned as the shock wave of falling onto his backside resonated throughout his body. The teen was clearly half asleep and with his eyes still partially closed in a attempt to block out most of the sunlight, it didn't look as if he wanted to wake up any time sooner either.

Scratching his chin, Shinzu would notice faint bits of stubble begging to grow around his neck, which was in contrast to his smooth skin from last night. "Hmph, I'll give it one more day before I shave." He smiled before shifting his gaze back at Fiona. "Sleepy head." He said before grinning at the site of the fast asleep girl. "She's kinda cute." At the end of his sentence, the teen would bury his hand into his pocket before fishing out a black marker. After taking off the lid, he would then gently draw two spirals before joining them above her lip to form a gentleman's mustache. Before the girl could wake up, he would then stuff the marker back into his pocket as to hide any evidence.

"Wakey wakey Fiona." Said Shinzu as he repressed the urge to laugh. Before he could show Fiona his handy work however, he would suddenly become distracted by the sight of two pairs of eyes peering through the darkness of a bush. "Pokemon?" He said with a more serious expression. If the girl was not already awake by this point, the teen would grab her shoulders firmly before shaking her to snap her consciousness back into reality. "We may have to fight, get ready."

After a short night the young girl was still sleeping against the tree, covered by her also sleeping pokemon she was having sweet dreams, dreams where she and her pokemon were having fun and where she would meet new pokemon, she always dreamed about pokmeon, since they were really special for her, she was in her dream sitting on a chair, those that swing a bit, on her lap sat her vulpy.

The vulpy was happy as usual, and was eating from her hand, pokemonfood she mad herself smiling and singing a bit she just swinged while enjoying the licking feeling from her hand, after a while this changed, the vulpy licked her face around her cheeks and then above her lip, it didnt feel like vulpy and it was kinda strange feeling this, still asleep she would make a few noises but none that someone asleep wouldnt make.

After a while she heard a voice, it was shinzu the friend she met last night saying waky waky fiona, her pokemon who got up and jumped from her lap looked stunningly at her face. Fiona who was kinda struggeling to wake up was woken up by vulpic who was using her mouth to drag her leg along, ''o-okay, goodmorning'' she said softly, while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

Still adjusting to the light that was falling from between the tree trunks and leaves, she was sharpened by shinzu saying that pokemon might be here and that they might have to fight. She was kinda tired, still but hoped her friends had quite a good sleep, still looking at the bushes and back at shinzu, and at the bushes again she understood what shinzu meant, there was definetley something in the bushes coming at them, she was kind of afraid but excited aswell.

Hearing afraid noises coming from the bushes as two pokemon ran out and ran along them, they were eevees, and apparently really really scared '' Whats wrong my friends'' Fiona tried to tell them but they passed the young girl and shinzu without much of a thought, it was like they were too afraid to even see others around them, wondering what made these poor but cute eeves so afraid she heard the sound of a pack of pokemon coming towards them. around 5 poochyena's were chasing the poor eevees.

There were two eevees a girl and a boy, the girl was the bravest off the too, and had a lot of energy and was very playfull, while the girl was playfull aswell but quite shy and afraid too, they were brother and sister and liked each other really much, The girl was trying to protect her brother but they werent a match for the poochyenas and nothing else then fleeing could be done.

Being afraid and scared for the eevees fiona acted out of rashness, she wanted to help the little fellows. '' vulpy use ember, blu use gust, stop these poochyena's I am going after the eevee's, shinzu can you help my pokemon'' she said as she ran as fast as she could hoping the eevees were allright.

Following them she would quickly stumble on a river, that the eevees tried to cross, the eevees were stuck on stepping stones and too afraid to move, seeing them in the middle off the river fiona couldn't do anything else then help them '' Don't worry, my friends took care of the poochyena's and I am going to help you get out off this '' She said, trying to sound as confident as possible.

Shaking a bit but not wanting to show this the eevees she pulled her shoes out and entered the river '' owow cold'' she said as she continued, the streaming was strong, and it was quite deep. she was into her breast after a few steps. After reaching the eevees, she smiled and patted both, both seemed to relax fast, while one was still shaking the other was licking her cheek, soon she discover the eeves tongue was black, after licking her cheek, looking into the water she realized someone had painted on her face.

being distracted the streams took the better off her, while carying both the eevees she lost her ballanced and slid along the stream, making sure the eevees wouldn't be in trouble or even get wet, she didn't want to get pokemon that where this scared in even more trouble '' Don't worry friends, I will get you out off this'' She said in a confident voice, holding thight to the eevees as she was sliding off stream.

"Morning." Shinzu replied to Fiona before the bush from earlier began rustling violently, causing all manner of twigs and leaves to shoot out from it before two dark figures would burst through from the greenery. The brownish blurs would then whiz across the area and dash past the two trainers. A closer inspection however would reveal them to be Eevee, however what on earth could they be running from? With a gulp, the teen would look back at the bush as it began to once again vibrate, though this time, even more roughly than before.

Suddenly, the entire bush would collapse as several baby wolf-like Pokemon stampeded through the clearly and ran right past the trainers. "Wah!? What are they?" Shinzu exclaimed as the group of creatures he had never seen before ran right after the Eevee's. "This region has such strange Pokemon..." He asked before looking back at Fiona, who seemed to be clearly worrying about the two Eevee. "H-Hey, you don't think that maybe those two are in danger do you...?"

Shinzu then sighed at the end of his sentence. Of course they were in danger, they wouldn't have been running away from the wolf Pokemon if they weren't. With Beldum probably still in need of rest, the teen simply sent out Growlithe who would immediately sniff out the group of Pokemon in the air before chasing them down. "Growler! Don't use ember please, anything but that!" As expected, Growlithe would skid to a halt and begin shooting out embers into the air which would be carried along by the wind before raining down on the wolves. "Sucker." He laughed.

As the Pokemon scattered from the flames and gust attack, Shinzu would pull out his Pokedex which would reveal to him that they were in fact Poochyena. Before he could even attempt to read any more about them however, the teen's focus would snap back into reality as he heard Fiona's voice. By the time he came across the stream, the current would of already taken hold of Fiona and begun carrying her downwards. Gritting his teeth, the teen dashed along the ground before noticing that some of the ink on the girls face had faded. "Noo! My masterpiece!" He shouted.

Being able to run slightly faster than the stream could carry Fiona and the two Eevee she was carrying, Shinzu managed to get ahead of her for a brief moment before he would instinctively jump into the river after her. Almost like his arm at that point was acting on it's own, the teen would grab hold of a vine coiling around a tree, causing a trail of green to follow him as he landed in the water with a harsh splash. "Gah!" He said as the clear water filled his mouth and nose.

As the stream carried Fiona towards him, Shinzu would then grab her tightly before pulling himself closer towards the grass. With him not being strong enough to climb the vine whilst holding onto Fiona, this was the best he could do at that point as to allow her to place the two Eevee's on the ground safely before climbing out of the river herself. "H-Hurry" He said as panic began to fill his voice. His grip was strong and as long as he didn't let go of the vine, the two were safe. However, who wouldn't be afraid of such a violentl river when you can't swim?

Holding very tight to the two worried little eevees fiona was scared aswell, tears filled her eyes but she didn't want to show it, she never had been this scared before, nor as brave aswell, maybe this was something you could call reckless but she didn't liked to see cute little pokemon like that in trouble, struggeling to keep the eevees up above the water and her face aswell she wondered when the stream would end, and if it would end in something good like a little nice pond and not in a waterfall.

waterfall she questioned herself as even more trouble filled her mind, she was scared and said ''d-dont worry you two I promise I will get you too safety'' the two were even more terefied then her so she haad to calm them down. Taking a deep breath and trying to swim to the edge off the water so they could get out a voice could be heard, it was a familair one.

Shinzu came to save the two, he ran quickly alongside the river and jumped in using a vine to hold himself, he grabbed hold of fiona to make sure she wouldn't drift off more, placing the eevees off her arms they finally had land under their feet, trying to climb on wall it was harder then she thought, but luckly there was blu, her swablu with soft wings who lifted her by the arm to get out of the water.

Letting out a sigh of relievement she quickly got up to help shinzu out of the water, this was hard a young girl couldn't really easily lift a heavy teen like shinzu up. but with the help off al the pokemon out, her vulpix the growler, blu and even the two eevees they managed to get shinzu out off the water.

Landing on her bum, shivering of coldness fiona was relieved this was all over with, she looked at the two eevees again, one jumped at her and cuddled her licking her face, being so happy fiona had protected her, and her older brother, while the brother took a liking to shinzu, the somewhat more shy eevee walked to shinzu who had saved all three off them by being reliable and using the branch.

The eevee licked shinzu's wet hand but stood in quite a distance as well still shy, fiona had a great idea '' So do you two want to become our friends, we plan to travel together, and maybe if you join us we have a reason to stay together even longer'' she said without thinking making her ashamed afterwards, but the eeves both liked this and happily smiled '' what do you think shinzu, I think the boy really likes you'' looking at the eevee that reminded her off herself, really shy .

The burden of Fiona's weight would at last be released as she climbed onto land. Sadly however, all this strenuous activity had put tremendous pressure on Shinzu's muscles, which he was only starting to feel now. Like all his strength was slowly leaving him, he found his grip on the vine loosening, causing him to slide down inch by inch, each time deeper into the waters grasp. Rather not wanting to face drowning of all things, the teen placed his free hand onto the vine, which had been used to grab onto Fiona this whole time.

Despite not being enough to pull him back up, at the very least it was enough to stop him from being left at the mercy of the stream. "Dammit." He muttered as he began coughing to empty his lungs of the moisture that had managed to find its way in. The world was starting to become dark at that point. Shinzu was feeling sleepy, so very sleepy as he struggled to keep his heavy eyelids from shutting. "No! Awake! Stay awake!" He chanted over and over again in his head. Just as he felt like giving up however a ray of warm light pierced the darkness and wrapped itself around the teens arm.

"Warm... and soft?" He questioned as his blurry vision returned to reality. As his eye sight sharped, the ray of light was revealed to be a pale white arm belonging to Fiona, who seemed to be struggling to pull Shinzu up. Hardly willing to give in with Fiona trying so hard, the teen pulled himself up with all his might, however doing so would suddenly become easier and easier as he noticed the other Pokemon helping him up too. "Gah!" He shouted as he landed safely on the ground before he broke out into a harsh series of coughing noises, which would be followed by him spitting out a little bit of water.

"That was too close for comfort..." He muttered before sitting upright. Shinzu's foot would then suddenly began spasming as he felt something moist and slimy wriggling around in there. Pulling out his shoe and shaking it around a little, the teen would discover a little fish that had found its way in there. As it popped out, it would begin flopping around wildly as it searched for water. Deciding to help it along, he grabbed the fish with both hands before tossing it back into the stream with a tiny splash.

"What a rough morning..." He said as he felt something slimy once again, though this time the moisture seemed to be attacking his fingers. Looking down expecting to find another fish, instead Shinzu's eyes came across one of the Eevee from before licking his hand, albeit rather shyly. "Heh cute, you remind me of Fiona." He said before grabbing the Eevee and pressing his soft fur against his face, causing the Pokemon to turn bright red, almost like it was evolving into a Flareon. "Welcome aboard buddy! You shall be my new partner."

Things had ended in something good, shinzu was saved due to the help of the pokemon, that is what you can call good team work, finally resting and on the ground fiona was happy to make a new friends, and shinzu seemed to have made one too, that was something awesome, she and even the friend she made yesterday had both found a new friend, they seemed siblings, so she would feel sorry to dont let them see each other, she looked at shinzu and then started to blush

What should she say, she wasn't sure scratching her head and stuttering more then before she said '' UHm - uhmhm, s-s-shinzu'' and then remained silent for a while, asking someone to keep together for a long while for the sake off the eevees was hard but she had to do it '' well, uhm lets say, maybe, now that we both befriended one off the eevees, it would uhm, be uhm better, uhm to stay together, to uhm not force the eevees from leaving each other''

Her face was red and she was blushing, luckily her new friend licked her face to make her feel comfortable and the vulpy and blu seemed to like the eevee too, Fiona was happy to have made such a cute new friend, he was hyper and happy, just like when she met shinzu for the first time, she wondered how she should call the little fellow and wondered also if she wanted in the pokeball, getting the pokeball out, and she said '' well if you want to stay with me forever, you should get in the ball, ill let you out allmost always so don't worry'' fiona said smiling

The eevee touched the button on the pokball and flew inside. Kissing the poke all she let the eevee out again a minute ago. " well eevee this is vulpy that is blu and thats my friend shinzu and his friend growler " she said while pointing. She then looked at shinzu and said. "W-what are your goals shinzu. Where would you like to go " she said hoping to learn more about him.

Shinzu would continue rubbing the Eevee's fluffy coat against his face, the act of which eventually causing the Pokemon to faint out of embarrassment. Clearly, he wasn't so used to close contact with others. "What should I call you... Eve? Though that's more of a feminine name..." The teen would tap his chin as he began thinking. After a few moments, he would then throw Eevee into the air before leaping after and catching him in a moment of excitement. "I got it! I'll call you Ri!" He shouted enthusiastically before nodding his head.

With all this having failed with wake Ri up however, Shinzu simply grabbed a Pokeball before allowing the red light to swallow up his brand new Eevee. "Heh, my first brand new Pokemon. We should introduce him to Bel when he wakes up, right Growler?" In response to this Growlithe would stick his tongue out playfully and bark a little as if to say 'yes'. He would then leap onto the teen, causing him to topple over before the Pokemon reached into his pocket with his nose in order to sniff out his own Pokeball.

"You want to rest up too? ...You could of just asked." By the time Shinzu had finished laughing, Growlithe had already found his Pokeball and would take it out of his masters pocket with his mouth before placing it on the ground. Using his paw, he would then hit the switch, causing him to be sucked into the red metal orb. "At least he's independent." He said before grabbing the Pokeball and pocketing it. The teens attention would then shift to Fiona, who appeared to be struggling to say something. "Stay together? Hm, I agree. You should be my girlfriend so we can stay together forever!"

At the end of his sentence Shinzu would look into Fiona's eyes with a grin, almost like he was being serious. After a few seconds though, the grin would widen until he could take it no more and would burst out into laughter. "Haha, only teasing ya!" He said before holding his achy sides. "My goals... Hm, to be the best Poke trainer! Speaking of which... The next town would be a good start. I hear they have the first gym in the region. Though, we can probably stop off at Chisai village first for a little rest."
