A-New-World- A-New-Hopeby Akky-wolfChaptersPrologue#1 New Beginnings#2 Remorse#3 Pokémon Problems#5 Captured#6 Questions#7 Answers#8 Training?PrologueAuthor's Note I'll be honest I'm not a pokémon player so please don't judge to harshly I'm trying to generate a story actually worth reading. So a lot of the pokémon might not work exactly like they do in the games, movies, tv, or books. Please forgive me Prologue 'The Lone Investigator' Nick and his pokémon Ina 'The Nine tail', just sitting on their porch in the middle of a forest in Sinnoh. ' Hiding from the Jennies is not easy, especially when the only one who can see is the pokémon and not the master. You heard that right Nick is blind, he wasn't born that way. Damn scientist, experimented on him after he broke his spine to try to 'fix the problem. They did but at the cost of his left eye, fusing pokémon DNA to human DNA is not easy. That's what they said anyway. Still, he didn't complain he was just happy to be able to walk again, He is also one of those humans who try to stay happy even after everything that he saw. Pokémon abuse, Enslavement, forced breeding, and last but not least torture/experiments. He wasn't gonna let that continue if he could help it ' 'So you may ask how did he become a pokémon trainer/keeper. The accident where he broke his back. well, let's just say it wasn't really an accident more like a murder meant to look like an accident. One of his targets realized he was being followed, and tried to kill him. He failed, falling from 200 feet straight onto a rock shattering his spine Nick was only rescued by the pokémon that now walks with him. A Ninetail Dragged his unconscious and dying body to the nearest city. Hell, the Doctors thought the Ninetail was his pokémon.' He then said, "Sorry folks I haven't ever had a pokémon I'm a loner ya know I work alone until now". He then said after looking at Ina, "But I guess I have one now, I haven't been known to refuse any request unless it's immoral, and it seems this Pokémon is looking for someone special ta guide it." 'So that's how these two met, Two loners, working together perfectly. Nick dealt with the humans, and Ina dealt with the pokémon. Hell, They could even understand each other. A side effect of those experiments is inheriting some of those pokémon's abilities. He was infused with a large amount of the Eevee DNA, so low and behold he now can use almost any ability Any Eevee evolved versions can use, but it takes time to switch species. Again he didn't care some humans called him a monster but as long his partner was with him he didn't care. The truth is he was happy to have these abilities it made talking to Ina actually worthwhile. Since they could talk via telepathy.' Now back to what recently happened. Poor Nick lost his last eye a few days ago after their trip to a bar. The barkeeper didn't allow Ina inside, and Nick tried to make him change his mind but he just said, "You cannot have that animal in my bar. Hell your lucky I'm even talking to ya with that creature close to me". This pissed Nick off and he accidentally spilled a secret he shouldn't have said around humans, " If ya don't let mah Love in i-". He realized he made a grave mistake, Ina even face-pawed. Then they booked it out of the city. But before they could escape one of the Jennies tried to attack Ina with a razor-wind, But Nick blocked the attack using his sword, but the attack cut the sword in half, and hit him straight in the face right across the eye. He was now blind but he didn't care, he used to teleport to escape. He started using Ina vision as his eyes this inurns made almost made them into one entity. Now back to reality, Nick and Ina Sitting on their porch. They slowly start to get exhausted, they decided it's time to rest after a day of thinking about how to fix their problem. Hell Neither of them wanted to lose the other, Nick literally couldn't survive without Ina currently. Without her, he would die quickly. Then they hear, an odd but familiar voice before they pass out in their bed “Rest now my children, for when you awake a whole new world shall be your home.” #1 New BeginningsSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.#2 RemorseNick wakes up feeling warm and fluffy. 'So it wasn't a dream yay!!' He sits up and looks around. 'A hospital, why am I in a hospital I didn't even that bad of injuries, mostly flesh wounds. So why am I in a hospital and feel like that one time I tried to outrun Ina.' He shakes his head, he was in a singular hospital room with flowers on the desk near his bed. Nothing major of note just a grey carpet and well a window. He slowly rises to his paws and promptly falls on his haunches, Yep he's smart. Then A Ice blue coated with sapphire blue mane and tail, Oh and he had well odd Golden eyes. "Hello I'm Doctor Ice Gem, and you are inside Lost-Vaine's General Hospital which only has 2 doctors and 8 nurses. Odd I know A tiny village with doctors well we are because of well the Whole Pokémon transfer. The truth is I'm happy you guys are here for new work and test subjects. Don't mind me though, time to get serious. Now you passed out from energy exhaustion you nearly died truth be told if your pony friend and Pokémon lover didn't try to regenerate your energy. Apparently whatever you did use up all your energy instantly. Then the fight I'll bet ya used all your energy just getting here. Oh and ya God Arceus I think his name is. Made this big announcement about being transferred from your dimension-thingy and your here to stay. That was over 2 days ago. " That doctor loves to talk, "Now ya are free to leave don't worry Your visit is paid for. Oh and just FYI you can talk to ponies, we cast a translation spell on you yesterday that should last for around hmm 3 days now. Oh, come by if you need more time for the spell." Okay so he can talk to the ponies, that should prove helpful even though he could change into an Espeon. Now Where is his love, he gets nervous without her near? "Well that's good and all but where is my Ina? I don't like being separated from her", Nick states. "Oh yes she's in the waiting room, the fox creature had the same issue as you. Didn't wanna leave your side even after the hospital closed. Man, it was difficult to make her leave." Nick snorts out ice, 'sounds just like her overly loyal' Nick starts to walk out of the room and enters a small hallway with peeling paint. 'The rooms look like actual hospital rooms, but the hallways look like they have been abandoned for years. Maybe I should volunteer to help fix it with my skills as an engineer. I think I can make it look brand new, maybe I do enjoy being helpful.' Nick enters the waiting room that only had a few wooden benches, One bench had a sleeping Cherry-dash cuddled with Ina. They look so cute, 'Focus' "Wake up cuties". Both of them began to stir from their sleep, then they open their eyes getting a face-full of each other, and have the exact same response. jumping away and falling on each other's back. Meanwhile, Nick starts laughing, "Ya two can be cute all ya want just um next time invite meh!" They blush hard, this causes Nick to smile. Seriously what did he do to deserve such a nice gift from Arceus? He is happy he got a chance to be with Ina for eternity. Maybe this pony can join the fun, He just wonders is it possible to make children. Likely not, They are from different dimensions after all. He shrugs, lets hope Mistress Mew can make it possible. He gets horny easily, he hates his hormone problems. " Alright girls, what happened?" This caused both to get up and Ina to speak up, "Well you see when you used that transformation ability you ran dangerously low on energy. So new rules don't change unless it's an emergency. Until we can expand your energy levels. Really though Follow and Obey I know it's difficult for ya to listen and obey at once but try." I snort out ice, so I'm stuck in a Glaceon for a while. At least it isn't the Worst pokémon to be Stuck inside a frozen tundra. I could have been a grass type and get stuck with that. Somewhere in Central Equestria, A Leafeon sneezes, " OUI!!" Whatever "So where do I get to stay please say I get to say with 2 favorite girls". This causes both to blush again, Then nick blinks slightly confused. He's just being honest, Oh he just flirted. that's the first time he actually caught it. I mean yeah he likes to tease, but he didn't know he was flirting. Oh, Arceus please don't let this end badly!! "We are staying with Cherry Love, She invited us to stay after your accident. She has been nice and I think I saw her staring her Rear once or twice." This comment make Nick look away embarrassed, of course, she saw that. Ina laughs, "I love teasing you Nickypoo!!" I blush hard. I look around seeing ponies and pokémon living in peace, but what really caught my eye was the Pokémon was helping now. Hehe, they sure learn fast, don't they? I love that I don't have to be antagonized just because I love Ina. I hate those people I'm happy I left them behind. No more evil people trying to enslave pokémon. I just wish I could give that what was his name Gene something or other my good wishes. I really hated when those rangers tried to capture him. Then I get smacked in the face with a snowball. "Really mate? just had ta do that to me" I smirk and then try to use ice ray and fail and just cough out ice. Then we have a snowball fight with me struggling, then getting hit. Then getting angry and trying a pokémon move and fail. #3 Pokémon ProblemsAuthor's Note Whoop I am happy to create more just because some people dislike the story wont dissuade me! Haha, Okay seriously though this story around Chapter 10 Will run into a Universe Crossover. My idea for Lucky heart, is to make the stories connected. So something major happens in lucky heart it will effect all my constant universes. 3 stories one of which dictates them all, for instance we might just bring characters from this story to Lucky heart. 3 Pokémon Problems =================== Walking down one of the streets of Lost-Vaine. Yes, I asked about the name too said it had something to do with a ravine that the ponies mined from to gain extra money when traders made it here. Who travels into the middle of bloody nowhere!? Whatever this place Is small and lacking in the way of population. Seriously The female-to-male population is so one-sided here. There are 2 males for every 1 female. It's so odd, they say everywhere else has the opposite problem. Too many females and not enough males, weird aye? So I asked and it has something to do with ponies inbreeding. Huh, I guess humans aren't the only species with this problem because Ina told me Pokémon don't have this issue. I just look at Ina as we walk down the street of Lost-Vaine, then I hit a lamppost. "Bloody Hell!! I just wish the fudging lamps weren't in the middle of the road!!" "Uh, Nicky learn how to walk first" I look at Ina and blush. Really just really, I don't like being embarrassed. "R-right uh Ina what are we going to do now? I mean before all this I was a private investigator, now though this world is so peaceful... I don't have a job anymore. Hell, I don't have any idea what to do!? What do they expect me to do!?" 'No enemies to target, no weapons, And I'm in a body I can barely walk in...speaking of' And that's when Nick fell face-first into a snow mound. When he thinks about walking he falls, but when he doesn't pay attention well he can walk fine. Nick groans, Being a quadruped is hard!! It isn't even the part where he has no idea how to walk, mostly it's the fact his fluffy paws hate his very being!! They trip him up when it's nearly impossible to trip, maybe just maybe. He looks at his paws, If only he had a tool to... he looks up to see a cart. A small intelligent smile forms on his muzzle, truth is Nick is a genius when it comes to creating tools. Sadly Nick has no thumbs, but he has physic abilities. 'How did he do this again...' that's when his stomach growls extremely loud, which in turn spooked the ponies remotely near him. Hell, even Cherry Dash looked frightened, he just blushed and covers his face with his paw. " I guess I'm hungry? heh." Ina looked at him with concern, she knew he was actually starving. He always acts like he doesn't eat much, but in reality, he eats like an Embore. Cherry looks at Nick and shakes her head. "Hungry is an understatement you sound like you haven't eaten in days... You haven't had you!?" Nick gulps and nods, I mean he was unconscious for low energy levels. So I suppose any fat he had on his body disappeared, that's when Felt a loud boom! Nick gets launched 2 feet off the ground, he blinks and looks down. "WHY ME!?? I HATE IT WHEN STUFF HAPPENS WITH ME IN THE CENTER!!" That's when a huge Onix, breaks out of the ground and nearly slams into the mid-air Nick. "THAT'S THE BIGGEST ONIX I'VE EVER SEEN!!" Ina just nods, the thing was massive! 100'feet and 11 inches long. Must be a mutant but this is just overboard. Luckily he was an Ice-type, unluckily he had no idea how to attack currently. Also, a negative Ina was a fire type so she was nearly useless in this, He had more health...likely more than most Onix!! "MY HOME!!! IT IS DESTROYED!!" Nick's ears perk up when he heard that, he was confused and scared! The worse combinations, and since Nick was starving he couldn't gain the energy to attack. So he had one chance, to talk he didn't like this plan. "H-hello Onix we understand your predicament, b-but could you please calm down. What I heard was Arceus spoke to all inhabitants of this world, including us. So why are you attacking, and destroying the village? I heard you say home do you mean here or else were?" The Onix looks at Nick, and he looked pissed. "SOME PONYTA CREATURES INVADED MY CAVE AND COLLAPSED IT!!" Nick's jaw drops, huh considering he did look like a dragon. I don't expect ponies to be very welcoming, but then again who ever did that went to far. "Do you want me to help you?" This gets amazing looks from Cherry Dash And some other ponies. "I am Private Detective Nick By the way....my last name is gone now.... After that whole Incident my last name is dead now isn't it, And then there is my family who I don't believe made it. That's good though they can't hurt the pokémon now." The Onix looked at nick then at the tiny 30 housed village, it had 4 main roads in a plus formation all pointing in the exact directions of north, south, east, and west. Small town roads spread out through the village it was in a almost perfect circle. Now though the town had a giant 10 foot wide hole in the center of town, No pony would be happy to fix that. "Also Onix could you fix that hole you made, the ponies might be more willing to help if you just made a mistake. Plus we don't wanna cause more problems for the city leader." The Onix sighed, I just wonder how easy he/she can fix that hole- the ground shakes as the hole closes. Nick just blinks, really!? Nick's stomach nearly roars, and he nearly falls over when his vision nearly goes black. Though Cherry Dash caught Nick in her Strawberry pink magic, "Ya ignore your own hunger and just deal with it!?" Nick had extreme training when he was a child, Training to help resist starvation issues. Also helped with his pain tolerance, though he still got hungry. Nick hangs his head, embarrassed. Cherry basically dragged nick to the nearest food stall, he was not pleased with this but knew it was needed. Cherry started talking to the stallion in the stall, then grabbed an Apple and shoves it down Nick's throat. He gags, he liked meat better!! "There that would work for a while, until I cook some dinner" Please let it be meat!! "Now lets go check on what is happening. At that things cave" Cherry pointed at the Onix and Nicky, Ina nodded. They had no time top waste, they had to get this Onix out of town. "Onix where is your cave you need to show us, because well we just got to this planet." The Onix nodded and starts to lead them in the direction of the northeast. The Dimensions, Multiple Parallel Universes with little connections to each other. Only 5 stand out... One of which is a Cracking Universe, But the only thing odd about is the 'Gigantic power signature' inside it. The universe reaches out and impacts one. The Multiple universes shutter. Reaching the cave, took us less than 2 hours. By the time we got there Nick was the only one not cold, Hell even Ina looked Half frozen. She just kept fire surrounding her body, and Cherry dash just stayed close to the fire. They looked like where cuddling, they where but he decided not to say anything. He really didn't wanna loose the ability to have kids, Ow just thinking that. "So this is the cave!?" That's when Nick's fur pops and turns into a Shiny Glaceon, Ina just stared and Cherry just has a confused expression. Nick though is dumbfounded, The fuck!? Did he just turn shiny before his eyes? How does that work!? he just shrugged, "Alright no more weirdness body!! Stop so we can get to work!" Cherry throws another apple at Nick and he eats it whole. he was starving give him a break. They slowly walked into the cave and seen the issue, Onix was right the cave was filled with fresh dirt. The only issue though, He could smell the blood. Someone attacked and either killed or maimed Pokémon, and whoever did was gonna pay. "Onix I guess it is my job to fix this issue, sadly I'm ill-trained, and low armored. So I have an idea..." "I'm listening, Just make sure I get my cave back." Nick nods, he would be happy to do so. If the universe allowed it, only if #5 Captured"Ina why the hell do you smell like blood?" Nick just stared at Ina, "Like seriously ya smell like blood? What did ya do Ina?" "I honestly don't know?" she looked at nick with an honestly confused expression like she was just as confused as him. "I washed before I came with you, Hey Cherry what kinda soap do you have at your house?" Cherry dash rolls her eyes for a second, "Only soap I have is mint." both Nick and Ina become silent. She blinks, 'is that bad or something?' "Well that explains it, Ina is allergic to Mint of most any kind, but why does it make her smell like blood?" He sniffs the air again, "Ahh now I'm smelling it from two locations Ina and ahead of us," It took him a few seconds to understand what he just said. "Oh fuzz, Why can't my life be easy I can't even transform into any other forms but Ice. I am also useless in a fight because of my near-death from energy loss. Sorry, Ina, this will be a solo mission for you." he grumbled something along the lines of, "Wish I had my Rifle or Revolver." Ina's ears perked up when she heard that, Nick was one of the few people who actually used firearms, but he only used them as a last resort, He preferred hand-to-hand combat best. If he wanted to use his guns this was serious, But the only thing Ina can do was obey and hope they can do something later to help Nick stop feeling so useless. "Yes babe, don't worry I will make sure the pokemon are safe." Then she sprinted in the direction of the smell of blood, she was ready to kick some evil Pony ass! That was until she felt a sharp sting on her neck, almost instantly her body felt heavy she fell into the snow and slid. 'w-what h-happened?' She would soon pass out, but before she did she realized they had captured her. The ponies are using sleeping darts to capture their prey, the last of her thoughts was, 'Nick....' An hour as passed and Nick was visibly concerned, his patience was running thin. "You know what?! I give up on waiting! I won't let my Best friend and love get hurt because of me being scared! Cherry give me an Apple!" Cherry quickly threw an apple to nick and he caught it in his mouth and bit it in half with ease. He basically ate the apple whole, the look on his face was full of determination. "Let's go-" before he finished his sentence he heard double 'pfft', he instantly recognized that sound. His body moving with years of practice and training kicking in at once, he backflipped over the darts but he was not used to landing on all fours so he lands on his back. He rolled over quickly and instantly spotted the surprised looks of ponies carrying dart guns, He got onto his paws and launched into motion. His body moving on instinct instead of moving my conscious demand. His years of training completely blocked out his mind and his body was moving like a rabid animal. He launched off the ground and uses a bite directly on the ponies' throat, his ears perked when he heard a 3rd 'pfft'. Again his body moved on instinct, but this time something smacked him in the back of the head. They were likely expecting him to fall over unconscious, but his training prevented that at least for a few seconds. He spun around to see a 3red pony and he growled, the 3 stallions all backed up in fear, honestly, they looked like they didn't expect this. Nick was holding back trying hard not to kill anyone but it was getting harder and harder to remain conscious, 'no choice'. His body took one careful step forward, then the ponies' worlds became a blur. One stallion slammed into a tree shattering his spine, that much was obvious, his back bent in an unnatural way. His breathing was labored but very much alive, he wouldn't be able to walk again. The second stallion landed in a snow pile upside down, very unconscious, blood was leaking from his throat where Nick bit him. The third pony had it worse off because he might have snapped his neck killing him instantly, But Nick didn't see any of this after he used his repulse, his body stopped functioning correctly and bassed out on the spot. What nick did was he used his natural speed and strength to hit each of the ponies 3 times in the stomach/ chest shattering ribs but also used the last hit to send them flying. He didn't think he could do it properly, he thinks he can though with those results. Cherry Dash looked in awe and horrified at the power Nick just expressed, he could do that but she didn't know. He always seemed so happy and careless, but it became obvious that he is a trained fighter, with years of practice and experience. He can be deadly but also so kind, It also became apparent he doesn't like those abilities, something about them frightened him. That's when nick fell to the ground breathing hard, but what caught Cherry's attention was the blood leaking from the back of his skull. He took a hit and it was a bad one, Cherry shook her head and rushed over to Nick's side. The injury was worse than what she thought, broken skull plate, No shattered skull plate. The only thing is that the injury was already healing, 'How is that possible he shouldn't be able to heal from this kind of injury!? He should need a hospital but they are closing up and the fur around the injury is starting to heal again.' Then she noticed something, the injury didn't heal, it just fixed it enough to allow Nick to function again with a few side effects like extreme pain and blurry vision. He wasn't even remotely fine just okay enough to continue fighting. Nick groaned and woke up, shaking his head. He quickly noticed the concern on Cherries face and he smiled, "I am okay don't worry about me I took worse" 'this might be true but even I notice I don't have long before my brain does a total shut down. Then I won't be helpful to anyone so I have to do this now and worry about my injuries later' The reassurance didn't relax cherry in the slightest, he sighed. "I will be fine for a little bit okay?" She quickly nodded, Nick found a stick on the ground and grabbed it in his paws then tried to walk only to fall on his face. He chuckled, "Eynope, I suppose that won't work hehe not bipedal anymore. so how will I defend myself? I cant use repulse again with this injury, all my others techniques are near useless, unless I have the energy for them. Which I don't, and my injuries slowing me down, so what to do?" he slowly looked around and smirked at what he saw, a Pony-made spear. 'Perfect just what I needed, a spear something I can actually use properly.' He quickly jogged over to the spear and pick it up in my mouth it was time to start fighting for his love. His anger and wrath erupted from his body, even Cherry an untrained pony felt the power behind it. "Let's go we have pokemon to save." Cherry could only nod, something didn't feel right though. Slowly Ina opened her eyes, she was still feeling drowsy. No not just drowsy, 'Come on Ina your love needs you don't sit around while he could be getting killed or hurt' She moved her paw only to notice she was chained down, 'chains really how cliche, these ain't even steel this is copper! Well easy for me to escape from, just need them to get up to 2k degrees F' easy!' She starts to breathe out a massive amount of heat directly on one chain near the right side of her head, the chain starts to gradually get hotter and hotter until it the chain glows bright yellow. Then she pulls the chain as hard as possible, all at once and, snap. She looks at the shackles and smiled, ' Idiots shouldn't use copper stuff is not as durable as steel or even bronze.' She just smirked and started to heat up the other chains on her left, she kept going until the chain also became Yellow hot then she snapped it. 'hehe dumbasses why anyone would use copper is beyond me she uses all her strength to literally shatter the last two copper chains on her back legs, ' now how to get out of this room?' Said room was dark and the only light coming from a barred door, it smelt of spoilt water. It was obvious where the ponies kept other prisoners in the past, she can see blood on the ground where the ponies hurt their prisoners. Ina was determined not to become one of those, Ina slowly walked over to the barred door. 'Hum copper again? Are they poor or something?' she just shrugged and started to breathe out fire again but this time like a blow torch, over the years of training with nick she learned how to use her flames like a blow torch when they needed to investigate the human activity. She just hopes that Nick didn't get captured also, he would be useless, she faces pawed hard. 'He's not useless just haven't learned how to fight like us yet.' the lock on the door popped off, the notice was loud, loud enough to wake up one of the pony guards. Ina's body moved on instinct faster than her mind comprehend the situation. She breathed fire into pony mares lungs, she tried to scream but it came out a choking gasp, she fell over and trashed on the ground. A few seconds later the thrashing quiet as the fire burned through her lungs and into her heart killing her instantly. Ina, while she had killed before, this was the first time she killed in such a manner and it bothered her deeply, but she pushed it out of her mind for now. She started to creep through the hallway, her ears perked up as her predatory eyes picked up movement in the dark hallway. She heard ponies talking the closer she got to the intersection of the hallways, something cliche like we will take the new one to the boss, which is very unlikely with her like this. She launched off the ground and into the hallway intersection right in the path of two very surprised earth pony guards, she couldn't help but smirk. Then the earth ponies visions became white with white-hot flames, the ponies fell on the ground screaming in pain. "That will teach you better than to mess with me!" She walked over the burning ponies on the ground swaying her nine tails happily, she looked around and saw the second prisoner wing. Then her world was filled with a loud explosion that seemed to continue for eternity. She looked around dazed, what she saw caused her jaw to drop, Standing over her was a smug-looking Absol. To her surprise, the Absol spoke, "So did the 'Boss' send you after me well you can tell that bastard I won't fall for his mind-control!" The Absol tried to blast Ina back but Ina spun her body in a manner normal pokemon don't learn, a form of martial arts created by Nick for Ina. Ina lands on the front paws and flipped back onto her back paws, to say the Absol was surprised was an understatement. Then He snarled, "Really your not a normal mind-controlled thug are you!?" "Mind control? Is that what happened to the Pokémon, interesting I suppose Nick wasn't that far off target then." The Absol jaw dropped, and he started to sputter incoherent words. "I suppose you were captured by the ponies too huh?" The Absol simply nodded, "Good wanna work together, you seem capable of fighting." The Absol, sighed and rolled his eyes but smiled. "Fine I suppose, maybe I will learn to trust you, 'cause you don't seem half bad" That accent is the same one Nick sometimes lets slip, but Ina let it go for now anyway. "Let's go help some Pokémon!" The Absol smiled and shook his head, he was obviously a nice Pokémon. #6 QuestionsNick was not a happy Glaceon, for one, his love has been captured. His paws moved at lightning-fast speeds in 3 strikes, each one in the same ponies chest in the exact same location, causing the pony to get sent flying and cause devasting injuries. His body was running on fumes, but he pushed forward. The area was covered in dead or dying ponies, he wasn't holding back not anymore, when this was over he would be near dead. His father warned him, 'Son if you don't allow your body to adjust to sudden changes like using three palm strikes, Your organs will fail to kill you instantly.' While pokemon bodies were more resistant, he doubts they can handle a grand total of 40 three-palm strikes so quickly. It's like throwing an untrained civilian into Military Special Ops training, it could be dangerous. His body was covered in sweat and his newest injuries refused to heal, even his oldest injury (his broken skull plate) was burning in pain. His determination drove him forward though, that's when he saw the bandits hideout. A small hasty put-together base, even most humans could easily destroy. It was obvious to him that these ponies are stupid, not just stupid completely foolish, they made their base out of scrap metal and copper. Who would be so, so stupid?! This wasn't even fortified! He rolled his eyes and sighed, this will be easy maybe too easy. When he tried to step forward, his body seemed to have enough punishment, when he hit the ground with his paw. His entire legs exploded in pain it felt like his legs were chopped off, all his nerved in his legs activated in pain. He knew why his body was finished, he can't fight anymore, he wanted and tried to scream out in pain, but his voice just cracked and faded to the winds. He knew he would die if he didn't push himself, but this was too much physical pushing, his body can't take the stress anymore. He wanted to sigh or even move his head but his body was stiff, the only thing he could feel that wasn't pain was his rapid beating heart, and the stinging cold. Then Cherry walked up next to him, "You okay Nick? You seemed to have pushed yourself a little too hard. Your stupid sometimes you know that?" Nick couldn't do anything, not even nod or grunt. "Well don't worry I will try and rescue Ina for you," Nick knew Ina was already escaping, she was smarter than he is sometimes, He mentally chuckled. 'that Ninetails always gets my ass out of trouble so she is smarter than me, sometimes I wonder if I always had her. It would feel weird without her around, soon his vision blurred as his mind slowed down and he passed out. Being an Ice-type means his body would not die in the cold, so that's a plus... Cherry looked at the sleeping form of Nick and smirked, "Sometimes I wonder why my sister plays with her play gang and tries to make false money, Father trained me with a spear, so now sister I will bring down your little empire." She looked to the sleeping form of Nick and sighed, she truly cared for the Random and cheerful pokemon, she doesn't lie about her feeling. Sadly she has a mission to do, end her own sister's life. Father would do the same if he was still around. She gave Nick a small kiss on the head, He did her a great favor, taking out most of her sister's goons so she didn't have to waste her energy. She would have to beg for forgiveness after this, she didn't wanna lose Ina or Nick. She moved forwards towards the base, ready for war. Her spear pointed towards the base, she was prepared to kill. Good thing Nick made the feeling of Killing so easy, while she didn't like to kill she will. She had to ask nick how he knew those moved though, it was obvious he was a trained killer, she shook her head time to focus. She reached the gate to the inside of the base, she heard ponies screaming on the other side and something else, then she smirked she knew that sound. The sound she only heard one other time in the forest the first time she meet Ina, Screaming flames. She prepared her spear and wrapped ice around her horn, She blasted a large blast of frozen oxygen into the door shattering the locking mechanism. On the other side, ponies were surprised to not only see pokemon attackers but also one pony attackers, Their fear was visible, They didn't expect this. Ina walked outside alongside a white pokemon, They both looked smug, she kept her laughter down into a chuckle. Nick wasn't lying this Pokemon is a beast alone, even with a disadvantage, she still reigned supreme. When Ina noticed that Nick was nowhere to be seen, she glared at Cherry, Which Cherry smiled sheepishly. The other ponies were all but forgotten, well except by the certain white pokemon, he glared at them with rage. "So? Where is Nick Cherry? Don't tell me you left him!?" The glare Ina was giving Cherry was powerful enough to make the pony back up slightly, She gulped but stelled herself for the anger that would come. "Y-yeah I kinda did but I have to stop my sister, That means me alone, So go get you Colt- I um mean your Mate?" Ina sighed. "Fine but you and I are having a nice long talk after this! Come on Absol we have to take care of my mate." The Absol nodded and followed the Ninetails as she walked away. The ponies seemed more relaxed than was until, her voice dripping with contempt, Cherry spoke causing the ponies to shake in fear. "Where is Banana Dash?! If you answer I will spare you the same treatment I will express on my sister!" The ponies all pointed to the largest door in the entire compound, Cherry sighed, "Of course how cliche, My sister sure is dumb." She looked at the ponies trying to escape and they froze in fear, "Time to deal with you all." Her spear lashing out like a snake easily entered the flesh of the ponies, killing most on the spot the rest would bleed out quick enough. Banana Dash was simple, she didn't want attention or power. She only wanted to be left alone and do her own thing, sadly it seemed some of those 'pokemon' was stronger than she could have expected, It was obvious to her somemon shouldn't be fucked with. that wasn't the worse part of it some single pokemon ruined half her guards! Before he fell but Cherry dash was there also her big sister was not one to be taken lightly, most of the pokemon she once had been sold off, Except for one. She looked to the female Luxray that she had found in the jungle and captured, the only issue is that her mind control was not perfect because while the Luxray followed her commands, it seemed the creature was incapable of using its abilities in the slightest. That's when the doors exploded to show, Banana mentally groaned, her guards are useless! Cherry was standing there in front of like 6 guards all covered in their own blood, 'should have used more it seems now my plan is completely ruined and this Luxray is useless against fighters like cherry' Cherry cleared her throat, "Hello dear sister, it seems you should have got better guards, these are more useless than a Donkeys's ass." She blinked and giggled, she was mocking Banana dash it was Obvious! "Also I kinda just watched as that pokemon fought so I am full of energy-" her eyes narrowed showing her murderous intent, "-so let's dance one last time sister. You crossed the line this far dear sister, If father was alive he would mock you, He should have killed you when you tried to hurt those poor fillies back in the past." Banana growled, 'Her point?!' "You see sister the only reason father didn't shove his spear so far up your ass it came out your throat was because I convinced him otherwise, You embarrassed our family name." "Enough talk KILL HER!" The Luxray lurched into motion, it was obvious to Cherry that the Luxray was not a filling participant his body was sluggish like she was trying to resist but it was too hard. Cherry wasn't attempting to kill the Luxray, her spear lashed out like a snake hitting critical points, only for it to seem to have no effect. Cherry teleported away, 'New strategy, if I cannot hit pressure points an I don't wish to kill my opponent. Let's see if I can do what Nick did, or I can try my magic' She mentally face hooved, when the Luxray got close enough, she blasted a huge blast of frozen mist into the Luxray seeming freezing her in place. It wouldn't last very long, the Ice was already melting. maybe a minute at most, she had to deal a lethal strike and wait for the mind-control to fade away, She lurched forward aiming to kill her sister, But instead of hitting her chest, her sister ducked, but not nearly fast enough. An agonized scream filled the air, a small sound like glass falling on marble, It wasn't glass though it was Banana Dash's horn. Cherry missed, but good news the mind control spell wore off, bad news her sister seemed enraged and charged up her magic only to howl in pain. She tried to finish off her sister but there was a pop and a unicorn stallion, stallion stood next to her, Cherries' eyes narrowed, she aimed to kill the stallion but again she failed. Both the stallion and Her sister had teleported away in a pop. "Damn I was too slow, this time you were lucky sister, next time expect to die." She turned around to the stunned Luxray, "You okay? I didn't try to hurt you to bad, just needed you out of my way sorry." When the Luxray spoke it was calming to cherry. "Y-yes I am fine just shook a bit, I didn't expect to be taken down so easily. I fought but I couldn't overpower that mares mind control, You are that monster sister how can you?!" "I tried to make her better, seemed to have only made her worse, anyway we need to get you to town I have a bunch of forgiveness to ask for." The Luxray nodded and followed along without words 'Seems her personality has been suppressed, it will take time to restart it' Oh, Ina was really pissed, she thought cherry was defenseless, oh no she is strong and she let Nick take all the fighting alone!? That damn bitch! Nick took out 40 ponies alone, and he was weakened, Shit he could barely walk when she last saw him! How did he even do that!? Each pony had one large bruise, but Ina could tell it was actually 3 separate strikes in the exact same location, She had questions for Nick. She only saw a technique like that once, when she was just a Vulpix, the leader of the Dragon Skull clan. A clan she wished dearly to forget. They tortured her and treated her Like dirt, make her into a ruthless killing machine, or tried anyway, someone saved her but she is unsure of who. Whoever did it had her respect, it's one thing to stand up to Just your father but stand up to a Clan that is notorious for killing Weaklings. I hope they are alive and safe maybe she will meet them again! one could only hope! She blinked, Nick couldn't be could he? His personality is so Cherrifuly and happy, How could anyway carry that stress and be so happy? Author's Note The next chapter will be the answers I wanted to show people for a while, Why Nick is so resistant to DNA changes and maybe even some of his mysterious past. Also expect to see more of Banana Dash, Also a side note No Nick is not half pokemon #7 AnswersWhen Nick regained consciousness, his body felt like it was one fire, he had an idea how much of an idiot he is. Why didn't he just follow Ina, he may have been weakened but he could still have fought. Why didn't he just stay still and wait, he didn't have to fight every single pony that crossed his path. I suppose his father's training, was embedded deeper than he thought. He slowly opened his eyes only to instantly regret it causing a stinging Headache to slam into his brain. 'Well at least I am alive, Ina would kill me if I died.' He chuckled, when the pain from the light faded he noticed he was in a hospital, in the exact same room as before. He tried to get out of bed but instantly regretted it, he grunted as his legs buckled under his weight and he fell out of bed directly on his head. He grunted in pain, it felt like he had a nail through his skull, he heard the door swing open. 'I hate hospitals, they always make me feel so weak and helpless!' A dark purple mare with blood-red mane and tail with a yellow-green stripe through her mane and tail, with Red orange eyes. Her cutie mark was a medical Cross with a blood-stained towel, "Hello Mister Nicholas If only you would have written your last name," He resisted the urge to snarl, 'I hate that last name I wish I didn't have it!' He looked at him and noticed his anger when she mentioned his last name, "Well anyway you see, You won't be talking anytime soon. You shattered almost every bone in your front right leg, and your left leg is just slightly better, you will be able to walk on it in a few days. Now I know this sounds bad,-" he was so close at snapping at her, but he managed to control himself 'Damn right, I kinda need to walk' "-But we have an idea how to assist you, soon we be having a doctor from Canterlot along and he/she will be your personal doctor for the time. Also, that little fox of yours seems to have a 'discussion' with Cherry about leaving you alone, and I think the Fox is correct. Also, you may call me Nurse Blood Cross, also just for your information you have been resting for 2 hours. We wanted to keep you for longer, but Cherry 'convinced' us otherwise, I can't believe you left for a few hours and returned with broken legs, also we can't get you a cast as we are unsure how your bone structure should actually be until we get a proper scan of your bone structure." Man, what is with these doctors and loving to talk?! Seriously it seemed they talked more than he does, and he was known to talk a lot. "So when will I be able to walk again doc?" "In a few hours, because we had to check the X-ray on your left leg then prepare a proper Splint, We cant cast your leg without proper medical supplies. Seriously what is with you and hospital visits, if any of us thought better we would think you enjoyed it here." 'I didn't, sorry but I hate being in one place too long' "I will let the Fox and Miss Cherry inside now, also it seemed they both brought company, they all will be joining you shortly." Company, Nick didn't like the sound of that, he quickly found out why she said company. The doors opened to reveal one very pissed-off Ninetails, an Absol, Cherry dash, and a smaller than normal Luxray. The Luxray caught his eye because she seemed to have been through a ton just in the few days they were here. His attention didn't linger though and he quickly looked back to the very pissed of Ina, he knew he had to explain who he was now, the look told him everything she noticed the injuries on the ponies. Also from her expression, she recognized the technique, no not recognize it she knew where it came from. He sighed, he wasn't gonna like to bring up his past, especially to someone who knew what his 'family' did. He tried to diffuse the situation but Ina cut him off with an angry glare, so he decided to let her talk. "Who the fuck are you really, I know where that 'move' came from, Its not pleasant. You must be RElated to the Dragon Skull Clan." "That's not their real name, but you would be half correct, I abandoned that clan at a young age. After I learned how to defend myself and be the best damn Human I could be. The clan's Real name is much more disturbing, 'Astrola Mingris', we had our own language. We didn't like outsiders, honestly, I think my family killed more humans than pokemon. We never talked to outsiders so we were out of the loop, for nearly three hundred years, that is until I was born." Nick winced from the memory. "They called me 'Olimuna Acria' which means in rough terms True Blood, In our clan Some are Called True Blood because our clan has a tradition of drinking the Blood of our first Victim." He shuddered at the memory, He didn't mean to kill them. "I was trying to defend my Pokemon, A small Eevee, I named him 'Ochla Tidria' which sorta means Ocean Tide but different. It really means Rushing Tides." He quickly realized everyone was confused on why he called the clans name disturbing and he sighed, "Astrola Mingris means Fallen Family, We called ourselves The Fallen Family! Anyway my little Rushing tide, He was a good pokemon so kind and gentle, I wanted him to become a Vaporeon. That's why I named him after the ocean, I wanted to become a Water Clan Leader. Our Clan has leaders for each type of pokemon, even if our numbers were around 400 constantly, each one of us even the females and children was trained to fight and kill. These Kids bullied me for years, and then when I got Rushing tide it didn't take long for them to think since I was distracted they could act." He took a deep breath as tears ran down his cheek and he quickly looked away, "That was the one time I wasn't fast enough. The one time I could have moved faster, could have acted quicker. There he was a young Nicholas Ochla Oma of the Astrola Mingris clan leaving training for the morning, looking down at his little friend Ochla Tidria, he was proud at how quickly he has progressed. The Young pokemon was a little under a few weeks old and already learned so much and became so powerful on his own, then all at once his Pokemon froze mid-step. Even Nicholas Froze something was wrong, the air felt thick and cold, it was a terrible kind of cold, he knew now something terrible would happen. He wanted to move but his body tried to flee but couldn't, then he heard it, laughter, not happy laughter no it was sadistic. Someone was enjoying his terror, that's when a boy appeared from the edge of his vision carrying a knife, not just any boy Someone he knew quite well. The Fire Clans Son 'Azurilian Omepha' His name was, 'Pilano Zecetra' Also known as Lost Child. That's when the boy spoke in a voice full of hatred and joy, "Well Look who Master Brought in The son of the Water Clan, the weakest clan we have. The joy I will have torturing you, since killing you isn't an Opinion I will, do something much worse." He pointed his knife at Ochla Tidria, Nick wanted to hit him hard but his body didn't move even with all wishing he made. "I will take my anger out on your pokemon, I will make it scream to die, letting you be helpless to watch. When your family finds out you couldn't protect your own, Hah they will have to Execute you in front of the whole clan." Nick shook with rage, No one noticed it but his hands started to glow slightly.- Ina, Cherry, The Absol, and even the Luxray looked sick, But he wasn't finished yet, Cherry spoke putting his story on hold. "Execute?! Your family would kill you!?" Nick just nodded and sighed. "Having a weak son is looked at as a disgrace, The family is required to either kill the child or banish them. I have to finish the story sadly, it gets worse.....trust me" Ina never heard Nick sound so hurt and in pain, It was obvious whatever happened he was disappointed in himself over. Lost Child Creep towards the little Eevee, him spinning his knife like a true expert. Then in a blur, he leap forward, The sound of a pained howl filled the air as Lost took the first slash of many more to come. Rushing Tide tried to flee or fight but couldn't move whatever was happening caused him to be unable to move, Master was crying for him, and neither one of them could so much as flinch. By Noon the ground under Rushing tide was covered in blood, Nick didn't remember each cut only the howl of pain that came after. His friend the Pokemon he put so much trust in, was in pain, and all he could do was watch! He was beyond furious, that's when Lost looked at Nick with a Blood covered face and a sadistic smile, He was holding his knife right over the Eevee's throat ready to slice it wide open. Then his knife blurred into motion, but instead of Pokemon blood hitting the ground, Human blood splattered the ground. The Knife that should have hit Rushing tide instead Hit Nick's arm, He had no recollection of this happening, only what happened after. Nick's eyes had become pits of hell to the surprised eyes of Lost, Three Palm strikes to the child's chest, each strike shattering bones. The Final strike send the child flying spraying blood from his mouth as his organs exploded, Directly into the surprised mouth of Nicholas, He just did it. Completely by accident, he became a man in the eyes of his clan. He looked over to his friend Eevee, only to feel the sense of accomplishment fade into dust. His pokemon legs were too weak to support his body anymore, and he fell into the puddle of his own blood. Nick couldn't stand to watch his partner in pain any longer, He had to send him peacefully, the poor Eevee's body couldn't have survived long anyway. Slowly Nick grabbed the same knife Lost had and slit his own pokemon's throat. The look of trust was the last thing Nick saw in his friend's eyes. His friend trusted him, not just to help him, but also to end his own suffering. Nick did what his friend wanted, he could have let Lost kill his friend but, it had to be him. Otherwise, the others would consider him weak and kill him, and his pokemon knew this also. Nick left the bodies behind him, And from that day forward he was called the True Blood. All the creatures in the room cried but Nick wasn't finished, he had one last story to tell, everyone was spooked when he spoke again. "After that day I made a vow, That scar I got from the knife, and the life of my friend would go to a good cause, protecting others. And so instead of a water type, I Grabbed A fire type, I was so lucky to find one, A young female Vulpix." Those words hung in the air for a second as instantly Ina looked at Nick as a sense of amazement and awe rushed into her senses, He was the one who saved her from that abusive trainer, He is the one who set him free but also got kicked out in the Process. She ignored some of the stories and just stared at Nick, But quickly started to listen again. A Tired looking Child Nicholas, was walking down the game trails of his Clan all alone, something he was used to. This time was different though, the energy in the air smelt of death, something we would not allows to happen. Then he looked off the trail and senses it stronger in that direction so he followed his senses, walking off the trails, he could sense something powerful growing. He wasn't sure what though, He just knew it would be powerful, he quickly saw where that feeling came from a female Vulpix. He quietly moved towards the Vulpix, His intentions were pure so most pokemon couldn't sense his presence, when he reached the Vulpix he started to pet her softly. The pokemon jumped but when she realized he wasn't going to hurt her relaxed into the petting. Nick just smiled, "Don't worry little one, I have no intention to allow anything to hurt you, and if something does. I won't let them go easily okay, you are under my protection until you wish to leave me understand?" His calming and cheerful voice calmed almost all the doubts the Vulpix had, That human's smile literally brightened the area around her. If He was like most humans, she had nothing to fear. Only he wasn't like most humans, one of a kind he is. Such a powerful sense of right and wrong, unwavering sense of justice and duty. The Vulpix smiled for the first time in a while, she felt safe, but most of all She felt needed. Something she always wanted to feel, needed for something greater than her alone. The Duo Quickly returned to camp, Nick was teaching The Vulpix he named 'Inarous Lumanna' Or Bright Hope. A name he thought was fitting for the young pokemon, She would become his hope in the future, and she would place his hope in him. One day everything changed, He went to go see Hope or Inarous in the training rooms and found her on the ground covered in her own fresh blood. The rage he felt was erupting out of him, His own pokemon whimpered at the feeling and backed up into the corner, she thought he was mad at her, He wasn't. "Who did this to you Hope?!" Those words barely left his mouth when he heard a slight cough behind him, Hopes eyes widened when she saw who was behind him and curled up into a ball. That reaction was all he needed to know who hurt her, his body looked to have been in two places at once when he spun around and roundhouse kicked his own father in the jaw sending him flying into a couple of crates, His father smiling. "Father I am disappointed in you. You should know better than to mess with my partner, and worse you injured her." The smile on his father's lips disappeared turning into a scowl. "You would put your faith in that weakling-" he didn't get to finish when his own Son cut him off. "More faith than you earned, honestly mom deserves better than you. I'm sick to even consider you my father after what you just pulled, get out of my sight before I kill you." Those words caused his father to be both taken back in fear and also pushed forward in rage, His own son disregarded him like a used rag, He trusted that Weakling was more than his own father. his father quickly got up and Nick tilted his head and sighed, "I didn't wanna have to fight my own father, but you left me no choice." He moved his body into a Dragon Killer stance, a stance only taught by the Dragon Skull Clan. A form said to kill dragons in One blow, But his father was undeterred. His son was a novice Right, he cant have picked up a whole Martial arts form in a little less than a month, He was half right. His son learned the whole form with ease, now it was training his body that was required, something easier said than done. Still, he used the form like a master, His son's body shot forward in a blur. The last thing he saw was the disappointed look in his son's eyes "And so I killed my own father that day, with a hit to his heart, banished from my tribe. The good news is I saved the pokemon, something I wanted to do, Save one friend." He briefly returned to his cheerful self, "I got this wicked brand though, kinda painful 2/10 not worth it." The brand was a Heart with an X over it. Everyone beside Ina chuckled slightly at the weak joke, Ina was just staring at Nick, he was the one who gave him the name Inarous Lumanna he quickly changed her name into Ina after the whole incident. This was the Human who she put her own life in his hands because she knew he wouldn't abandon her. That is why she felt so strongly when she saw him dying on the side of the mountain with a broken spine, She knew him. He was following leads on his clan, trying to find and destroy them. Ina quickly smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I love you, You big dummy I always loved you, Nick Of True Hearts, and I always will." The room fell into silence, Nicks jaw dropped, he wasn't expecting that. Everyone looked to Ina, that's when Nick cracked a smile. "Hello Inarous Lumanna, I kinda thought your name sounded familiar when you named yourself Ina. I just chalked it up to coincidence, but now I found my old partner, and she's so damn pretty I don't know what to think anymore. I love you to." #8 Training?Ina smirked and looked down at Nick who was still on the ground, through the entirety of his story. "You comfy their love?" She giggled, Nick rolled his eyes but smiled all the same. "No can you please put me somewhere?" Ina sighed but nodded, but Cherry beat her to it, Cherries horn glowed and levitated Nick off the ground and lay him on his bed. Ina snorted and shot Cherry an Angry glare, she mumbled something, The Absol and Luxray both seemed to be very uncomfortable. Nick snorted, "Girls please, Cherry owes us an explanation, But I wanna know where this pretty Luxray came from?" That caused Ina to glare at him, he smiled sheepishly. She sighed, The damn sexy flirt. Then looked at the Absol, "Honestly you seem to have been through wars, I thought Nick was covered in scars when he was human, but you take the Pie." True to her words The Absol was covered in new and old scars, Nick just noticed and sighed. The Luxray Spoke with her words being chosen carefully, "H-how did Miss cherry know what I was saying I didn't have a Translation spell." Everyone quickly looked at Cherry, said pony was blushing slightly, Nick determined she was embarrassed about something. "Well that is a complex answer, I might have learned how to understand Pokemon language." The room fell silent, There was never any chance for humans to learn Pokemon tongue. Maybe there was, but humans never tried to learn it, but how could she learn it under a few days!? That had to be Impossible, or maybe they didn't just cast a Translation spell on the pokemon. Nicks's idea sparked and caught fire, The ponies cast a translation spell on Cherry to use her as a Medium between the pokemon. Nick just smiled, those ponies can be very clever. Everyone looked at him with surprise all except Ina, She knew he just figured out why that just happened, But she quickly sighed, he is stuck as a Glaceon. She also knew it was something he didn't like, he wanted to train in each of his forms. He wanted to become powerful, and able to switch forms at will, this would help him in combat situations. He wanted to protect those he cares about, he would do what was needed to assist those who needed his help. Soon Cherry went over what happened when Ina and the Absol left. Meanwhile, a Very angry and in pain Banana Dash glared daggers at Her Stallion Friend. "That you for saving me Love, but could you have acted faster?! I lost my damn horn, all because you are so damn slow! I also lost all my crew! I'm very angry with you!" The Stallion just smirked, all the way through her angry tantrum. "You done yet? I found something that will make you very very happy." That caused her to look at him with confusion, "I know you have this Vendetta against the Princesses in Equestria." She nodded confused, Her Stallion Friend smirked. "Do you want to go to war with her?" Banana Smirked and nodded, "Well I solved an issue." He lit his horn with his magic to show a huge room, a room full of foreign machines. Banana had no idea what these were, but they obviously used to be pony creations. She smiled, Finally something to return the Favor for all those issues that damn Princess Celestia created, She can finally get her revenge. She wasn't angry at her sister, her sister was right. She shouldn't have hurt those innocent creatures, But she had a job to finish. After a few hours, Nick had exited the Hospital, with a splint, and a very limping walk. He's lucky it wasn't worse though, he could not be able to walk at all. Honestly, anyone else would beg for a wheelchair, But not Nick he begged to not have one, to say the doctors weren't happy was an understatement. He limped over Cherry's Icecream shop, something that interested him, he had a taste for ice cream. The ice cream shop was nothing special, it had literally an Icecream cone as an indicator but that is all, Nick was confused why Cherry went into the woods to collect ice. That seemed a little far fetch, Who would collect ice at nice in the woods, alone? He shrugged its dumb to ask stupid questions when he knew the answer, Cherry was investigating locations to find her sister. 'I suppose I should train someone in the form of Dragon Killer Style, But who?' He got his answer when He spotted the Absol, 'I need to name you, but what? I should use my old language, but what term would match an Absol.' Then like a lightbulb, He remembered his mother's favorite line, Omulia Ek Destrua, Or Light in Shadows. "Hey, Absol I have yet to name!" Said Absol turned and looked at me, hiding his smirk. Nick noticed it though, 'I thought Absol, were tsundere or was that just that one trainer's pokemon?' He shook his head. "I have a name for you, Hello Omulia Ek Destrua, your name means. Light in Shadows, But I will just call you Destra, it seems fitting for you. So I was thinking, what if I trained you in Dragon Slayer style, it will be difficult to adjust properly into my pokemon form. I enjoy challenges though, so when I am able to adapt the form I will teach you it." Destra just smirked, he was nothing that one Absol, luckily Nick didn't have to act in defense for the Absol. Someone else did it, he was proud of whoever did it. The Absol nodded and smiled, and followed Nick, as he limped inside. Where both Ina and Cherry were giving each other glares, well mostly Ina, Cherry knew she deserved it. When Nick entered though both looked at him and sighed in unison, then Ina looked at Cherry and growled. Nick had to stop this before it went too far, He sighed. "Okay enough Ina, I get it your mad at her, so am I! Though she had a good reason not to tell us, Now Cherry can you make stuff?" Ina now turned her anger at Nick but said nothing, Cherry though was confused. "What do you mean? Make stuff? Like a workbench, I suppose I have something like that. Sadly it isn't as good as those fancy ones from the Central Equestria." Nick smirked and blinked, good but central Equestria just where are we? "So do you have a map?" Cherry nodded and walked over to her desk and pulled out a ragged map, when nick looked at it his jaw dropped. "This can't be correct that's Impossible, how are we part of Equestria when we are blocked by another country?! We should be part of the Griffin Empire or the Yak homelands! Does this say we are ruled by Equestria?! That's impossible, I may not understand those laws and ideas here but this is just odd." Ina took a peek at the map and her jaw also dropped, true to Nick's words, The location of Lost Vaine was over 20k miles from Equestria with two nations between them and Equestria. The Griffin empire/kingdom and whatever the Yaks called their homes, Neither Ina nor Nick could pronounce that word. To Nick, the yaks spoke something similar to the language of his Clan, but not close enough. Nick just couldn't understand this, not in the slightest. Cherry finally chose now to speak clearing the air some, "Yeah even I was confused when I saw the map, and just so you know those doctors were sent from Equestria a year ago. It will take a few months for that doctor of yours to reach it... Oh right we finally have that train functioning in Yakingston, it may take them a few weeks though to get here. Also with the travel time from Yakingston to Lost vaine, it's just gonna take a while, also why is that A-Absol, am I saying that right?" Nick just nodded, so Cherry continued. "That Absol is so happy and excited, why is that? what are you doing Nick?" "First meet Destra Everyone or his full name Omulia Ek Destrua, or LIght in Darkness. Also, I will be teaching HIm DRagon Slayer style, once I covert it fully into the use of quadrupedal pokemon. Sadly it won't be nearly as effective, always slower and always weaker than for the use of Bipeds. So that's a downside, But against normal individuals, expect instant death." That word caused Cherry to shiver, She still didn't like how she had to kill ponies, but it had to be done. Nick noticed and frowned, he never thought about those he killed, maybe he should. Destra spoke next, his voice calm and cocky, but it was obvious he cares. "Well as long as I can beat the enemy I don't care how we do it, we can't let others do something we could. That's just not Epic, we should also come up with an awesome catchphrase or something that!" Somewhere in central Equestria a rainbow maned pegasus, someone else used her favorite word and she was not okay with it. She wanted to hurt someone somewhere, but she was unsure where she huffed in anger. 'one day I will find you and show you what real awesomeness looks like! Yeah that's right I will get you, then I will show off my sonic boom!' Destra shuddered, he felt like he just cursed his own fate, but shrugged it off. 'Whatever happens, happens I will deal with it when it comes up.' He quickly realized everyone was staring at him, he cleared his throat and smiled. "So when will I learn this Dragon Slayer form you speak so highly about, I doubt it could be that great!" Nick frowned, then looked at the Luxray, 'she needs a name also it seems, but what would it be?' he smirked, "Oh you wanna learn Dragon Slayer, you will have to dodge attacks perfectly, to be able to learn it. Luxray use Electric Terrain!" The Luxray blinked but sent a blast of lightning through the ground shocking the caught off guard Absol. Destra smirked, "Well that was shocking." Everyone groaned, he frowned. "What it wasn't that bad was it?!" Ina just shook her head, "It was horrible don't do that again! You might kill someone next time!" Nick just smiled, "Bad Pun Super Effective," Everyone chuckled beside Destra, 'how was that funny!?' He smiled though, they weren't being mean they were just teasing him. Nick turned and looked at the Luxray, "I have a name for you, Thungerio ek Inarous, or Thunder of Hope a name you should try and live up to. Be the one that brings hope to those you help, but also bring thunder to your enemies. Hello Thungerio, but we will you, my clan's correct term for thunder. Quextra, we like our weird letters okay!" He said the last line because everyone was chuckling, it was not his fault his people liked their Q's and X's, they liked them not used them daily! He huffed in annoyance but smiled a few seconds later, ' these guys are amazing, I'm so happy I can count on them. I doubt anyone can stand in our path when they are fully trained, I hope we can live without pain and anguish.' Alas his hope will come to not, even now the war he will be facing grows. Ponies, griffins, yaks, zebras, and pokemon were all going missing seemingly out of nowhere, and a few nations were getting concerned, well not the Griffins. They were too busy with that Group Nick remembered As Checkmate, a Group he had a few dealings with in the past. Sadly in his eyes, they did not live up to the hype, couldn't even harm his tribe. He had a mission he had to complete and he will complete it, he will protect those he calls friends. Author's Note I will be taking a break from this soon so I can find out how I wish to write the story, Don't worry this story might be short, but the characters will remain in another story, it will not be a sequel, but if this story is liked enough I will make it. so maybe
PrologueAuthor's Note I'll be honest I'm not a pokémon player so please don't judge to harshly I'm trying to generate a story actually worth reading. So a lot of the pokémon might not work exactly like they do in the games, movies, tv, or books. Please forgive me Prologue 'The Lone Investigator' Nick and his pokémon Ina 'The Nine tail', just sitting on their porch in the middle of a forest in Sinnoh. ' Hiding from the Jennies is not easy, especially when the only one who can see is the pokémon and not the master. You heard that right Nick is blind, he wasn't born that way. Damn scientist, experimented on him after he broke his spine to try to 'fix the problem. They did but at the cost of his left eye, fusing pokémon DNA to human DNA is not easy. That's what they said anyway. Still, he didn't complain he was just happy to be able to walk again, He is also one of those humans who try to stay happy even after everything that he saw. Pokémon abuse, Enslavement, forced breeding, and last but not least torture/experiments. He wasn't gonna let that continue if he could help it ' 'So you may ask how did he become a pokémon trainer/keeper. The accident where he broke his back. well, let's just say it wasn't really an accident more like a murder meant to look like an accident. One of his targets realized he was being followed, and tried to kill him. He failed, falling from 200 feet straight onto a rock shattering his spine Nick was only rescued by the pokémon that now walks with him. A Ninetail Dragged his unconscious and dying body to the nearest city. Hell, the Doctors thought the Ninetail was his pokémon.' He then said, "Sorry folks I haven't ever had a pokémon I'm a loner ya know I work alone until now". He then said after looking at Ina, "But I guess I have one now, I haven't been known to refuse any request unless it's immoral, and it seems this Pokémon is looking for someone special ta guide it." 'So that's how these two met, Two loners, working together perfectly. Nick dealt with the humans, and Ina dealt with the pokémon. Hell, They could even understand each other. A side effect of those experiments is inheriting some of those pokémon's abilities. He was infused with a large amount of the Eevee DNA, so low and behold he now can use almost any ability Any Eevee evolved versions can use, but it takes time to switch species. Again he didn't care some humans called him a monster but as long his partner was with him he didn't care. The truth is he was happy to have these abilities it made talking to Ina actually worthwhile. Since they could talk via telepathy.' Now back to what recently happened. Poor Nick lost his last eye a few days ago after their trip to a bar. The barkeeper didn't allow Ina inside, and Nick tried to make him change his mind but he just said, "You cannot have that animal in my bar. Hell your lucky I'm even talking to ya with that creature close to me". This pissed Nick off and he accidentally spilled a secret he shouldn't have said around humans, " If ya don't let mah Love in i-". He realized he made a grave mistake, Ina even face-pawed. Then they booked it out of the city. But before they could escape one of the Jennies tried to attack Ina with a razor-wind, But Nick blocked the attack using his sword, but the attack cut the sword in half, and hit him straight in the face right across the eye. He was now blind but he didn't care, he used to teleport to escape. He started using Ina vision as his eyes this inurns made almost made them into one entity. Now back to reality, Nick and Ina Sitting on their porch. They slowly start to get exhausted, they decided it's time to rest after a day of thinking about how to fix their problem. Hell Neither of them wanted to lose the other, Nick literally couldn't survive without Ina currently. Without her, he would die quickly. Then they hear, an odd but familiar voice before they pass out in their bed “Rest now my children, for when you awake a whole new world shall be your home.”
#2 RemorseNick wakes up feeling warm and fluffy. 'So it wasn't a dream yay!!' He sits up and looks around. 'A hospital, why am I in a hospital I didn't even that bad of injuries, mostly flesh wounds. So why am I in a hospital and feel like that one time I tried to outrun Ina.' He shakes his head, he was in a singular hospital room with flowers on the desk near his bed. Nothing major of note just a grey carpet and well a window. He slowly rises to his paws and promptly falls on his haunches, Yep he's smart. Then A Ice blue coated with sapphire blue mane and tail, Oh and he had well odd Golden eyes. "Hello I'm Doctor Ice Gem, and you are inside Lost-Vaine's General Hospital which only has 2 doctors and 8 nurses. Odd I know A tiny village with doctors well we are because of well the Whole Pokémon transfer. The truth is I'm happy you guys are here for new work and test subjects. Don't mind me though, time to get serious. Now you passed out from energy exhaustion you nearly died truth be told if your pony friend and Pokémon lover didn't try to regenerate your energy. Apparently whatever you did use up all your energy instantly. Then the fight I'll bet ya used all your energy just getting here. Oh and ya God Arceus I think his name is. Made this big announcement about being transferred from your dimension-thingy and your here to stay. That was over 2 days ago. " That doctor loves to talk, "Now ya are free to leave don't worry Your visit is paid for. Oh and just FYI you can talk to ponies, we cast a translation spell on you yesterday that should last for around hmm 3 days now. Oh, come by if you need more time for the spell." Okay so he can talk to the ponies, that should prove helpful even though he could change into an Espeon. Now Where is his love, he gets nervous without her near? "Well that's good and all but where is my Ina? I don't like being separated from her", Nick states. "Oh yes she's in the waiting room, the fox creature had the same issue as you. Didn't wanna leave your side even after the hospital closed. Man, it was difficult to make her leave." Nick snorts out ice, 'sounds just like her overly loyal' Nick starts to walk out of the room and enters a small hallway with peeling paint. 'The rooms look like actual hospital rooms, but the hallways look like they have been abandoned for years. Maybe I should volunteer to help fix it with my skills as an engineer. I think I can make it look brand new, maybe I do enjoy being helpful.' Nick enters the waiting room that only had a few wooden benches, One bench had a sleeping Cherry-dash cuddled with Ina. They look so cute, 'Focus' "Wake up cuties". Both of them began to stir from their sleep, then they open their eyes getting a face-full of each other, and have the exact same response. jumping away and falling on each other's back. Meanwhile, Nick starts laughing, "Ya two can be cute all ya want just um next time invite meh!" They blush hard, this causes Nick to smile. Seriously what did he do to deserve such a nice gift from Arceus? He is happy he got a chance to be with Ina for eternity. Maybe this pony can join the fun, He just wonders is it possible to make children. Likely not, They are from different dimensions after all. He shrugs, lets hope Mistress Mew can make it possible. He gets horny easily, he hates his hormone problems. " Alright girls, what happened?" This caused both to get up and Ina to speak up, "Well you see when you used that transformation ability you ran dangerously low on energy. So new rules don't change unless it's an emergency. Until we can expand your energy levels. Really though Follow and Obey I know it's difficult for ya to listen and obey at once but try." I snort out ice, so I'm stuck in a Glaceon for a while. At least it isn't the Worst pokémon to be Stuck inside a frozen tundra. I could have been a grass type and get stuck with that. Somewhere in Central Equestria, A Leafeon sneezes, " OUI!!" Whatever "So where do I get to stay please say I get to say with 2 favorite girls". This causes both to blush again, Then nick blinks slightly confused. He's just being honest, Oh he just flirted. that's the first time he actually caught it. I mean yeah he likes to tease, but he didn't know he was flirting. Oh, Arceus please don't let this end badly!! "We are staying with Cherry Love, She invited us to stay after your accident. She has been nice and I think I saw her staring her Rear once or twice." This comment make Nick look away embarrassed, of course, she saw that. Ina laughs, "I love teasing you Nickypoo!!" I blush hard. I look around seeing ponies and pokémon living in peace, but what really caught my eye was the Pokémon was helping now. Hehe, they sure learn fast, don't they? I love that I don't have to be antagonized just because I love Ina. I hate those people I'm happy I left them behind. No more evil people trying to enslave pokémon. I just wish I could give that what was his name Gene something or other my good wishes. I really hated when those rangers tried to capture him. Then I get smacked in the face with a snowball. "Really mate? just had ta do that to me" I smirk and then try to use ice ray and fail and just cough out ice. Then we have a snowball fight with me struggling, then getting hit. Then getting angry and trying a pokémon move and fail.
#3 Pokémon ProblemsAuthor's Note Whoop I am happy to create more just because some people dislike the story wont dissuade me! Haha, Okay seriously though this story around Chapter 10 Will run into a Universe Crossover. My idea for Lucky heart, is to make the stories connected. So something major happens in lucky heart it will effect all my constant universes. 3 stories one of which dictates them all, for instance we might just bring characters from this story to Lucky heart. 3 Pokémon Problems =================== Walking down one of the streets of Lost-Vaine. Yes, I asked about the name too said it had something to do with a ravine that the ponies mined from to gain extra money when traders made it here. Who travels into the middle of bloody nowhere!? Whatever this place Is small and lacking in the way of population. Seriously The female-to-male population is so one-sided here. There are 2 males for every 1 female. It's so odd, they say everywhere else has the opposite problem. Too many females and not enough males, weird aye? So I asked and it has something to do with ponies inbreeding. Huh, I guess humans aren't the only species with this problem because Ina told me Pokémon don't have this issue. I just look at Ina as we walk down the street of Lost-Vaine, then I hit a lamppost. "Bloody Hell!! I just wish the fudging lamps weren't in the middle of the road!!" "Uh, Nicky learn how to walk first" I look at Ina and blush. Really just really, I don't like being embarrassed. "R-right uh Ina what are we going to do now? I mean before all this I was a private investigator, now though this world is so peaceful... I don't have a job anymore. Hell, I don't have any idea what to do!? What do they expect me to do!?" 'No enemies to target, no weapons, And I'm in a body I can barely walk in...speaking of' And that's when Nick fell face-first into a snow mound. When he thinks about walking he falls, but when he doesn't pay attention well he can walk fine. Nick groans, Being a quadruped is hard!! It isn't even the part where he has no idea how to walk, mostly it's the fact his fluffy paws hate his very being!! They trip him up when it's nearly impossible to trip, maybe just maybe. He looks at his paws, If only he had a tool to... he looks up to see a cart. A small intelligent smile forms on his muzzle, truth is Nick is a genius when it comes to creating tools. Sadly Nick has no thumbs, but he has physic abilities. 'How did he do this again...' that's when his stomach growls extremely loud, which in turn spooked the ponies remotely near him. Hell, even Cherry Dash looked frightened, he just blushed and covers his face with his paw. " I guess I'm hungry? heh." Ina looked at him with concern, she knew he was actually starving. He always acts like he doesn't eat much, but in reality, he eats like an Embore. Cherry looks at Nick and shakes her head. "Hungry is an understatement you sound like you haven't eaten in days... You haven't had you!?" Nick gulps and nods, I mean he was unconscious for low energy levels. So I suppose any fat he had on his body disappeared, that's when Felt a loud boom! Nick gets launched 2 feet off the ground, he blinks and looks down. "WHY ME!?? I HATE IT WHEN STUFF HAPPENS WITH ME IN THE CENTER!!" That's when a huge Onix, breaks out of the ground and nearly slams into the mid-air Nick. "THAT'S THE BIGGEST ONIX I'VE EVER SEEN!!" Ina just nods, the thing was massive! 100'feet and 11 inches long. Must be a mutant but this is just overboard. Luckily he was an Ice-type, unluckily he had no idea how to attack currently. Also, a negative Ina was a fire type so she was nearly useless in this, He had more health...likely more than most Onix!! "MY HOME!!! IT IS DESTROYED!!" Nick's ears perk up when he heard that, he was confused and scared! The worse combinations, and since Nick was starving he couldn't gain the energy to attack. So he had one chance, to talk he didn't like this plan. "H-hello Onix we understand your predicament, b-but could you please calm down. What I heard was Arceus spoke to all inhabitants of this world, including us. So why are you attacking, and destroying the village? I heard you say home do you mean here or else were?" The Onix looks at Nick, and he looked pissed. "SOME PONYTA CREATURES INVADED MY CAVE AND COLLAPSED IT!!" Nick's jaw drops, huh considering he did look like a dragon. I don't expect ponies to be very welcoming, but then again who ever did that went to far. "Do you want me to help you?" This gets amazing looks from Cherry Dash And some other ponies. "I am Private Detective Nick By the way....my last name is gone now.... After that whole Incident my last name is dead now isn't it, And then there is my family who I don't believe made it. That's good though they can't hurt the pokémon now." The Onix looked at nick then at the tiny 30 housed village, it had 4 main roads in a plus formation all pointing in the exact directions of north, south, east, and west. Small town roads spread out through the village it was in a almost perfect circle. Now though the town had a giant 10 foot wide hole in the center of town, No pony would be happy to fix that. "Also Onix could you fix that hole you made, the ponies might be more willing to help if you just made a mistake. Plus we don't wanna cause more problems for the city leader." The Onix sighed, I just wonder how easy he/she can fix that hole- the ground shakes as the hole closes. Nick just blinks, really!? Nick's stomach nearly roars, and he nearly falls over when his vision nearly goes black. Though Cherry Dash caught Nick in her Strawberry pink magic, "Ya ignore your own hunger and just deal with it!?" Nick had extreme training when he was a child, Training to help resist starvation issues. Also helped with his pain tolerance, though he still got hungry. Nick hangs his head, embarrassed. Cherry basically dragged nick to the nearest food stall, he was not pleased with this but knew it was needed. Cherry started talking to the stallion in the stall, then grabbed an Apple and shoves it down Nick's throat. He gags, he liked meat better!! "There that would work for a while, until I cook some dinner" Please let it be meat!! "Now lets go check on what is happening. At that things cave" Cherry pointed at the Onix and Nicky, Ina nodded. They had no time top waste, they had to get this Onix out of town. "Onix where is your cave you need to show us, because well we just got to this planet." The Onix nodded and starts to lead them in the direction of the northeast. The Dimensions, Multiple Parallel Universes with little connections to each other. Only 5 stand out... One of which is a Cracking Universe, But the only thing odd about is the 'Gigantic power signature' inside it. The universe reaches out and impacts one. The Multiple universes shutter. Reaching the cave, took us less than 2 hours. By the time we got there Nick was the only one not cold, Hell even Ina looked Half frozen. She just kept fire surrounding her body, and Cherry dash just stayed close to the fire. They looked like where cuddling, they where but he decided not to say anything. He really didn't wanna loose the ability to have kids, Ow just thinking that. "So this is the cave!?" That's when Nick's fur pops and turns into a Shiny Glaceon, Ina just stared and Cherry just has a confused expression. Nick though is dumbfounded, The fuck!? Did he just turn shiny before his eyes? How does that work!? he just shrugged, "Alright no more weirdness body!! Stop so we can get to work!" Cherry throws another apple at Nick and he eats it whole. he was starving give him a break. They slowly walked into the cave and seen the issue, Onix was right the cave was filled with fresh dirt. The only issue though, He could smell the blood. Someone attacked and either killed or maimed Pokémon, and whoever did was gonna pay. "Onix I guess it is my job to fix this issue, sadly I'm ill-trained, and low armored. So I have an idea..." "I'm listening, Just make sure I get my cave back." Nick nods, he would be happy to do so. If the universe allowed it, only if
#5 Captured"Ina why the hell do you smell like blood?" Nick just stared at Ina, "Like seriously ya smell like blood? What did ya do Ina?" "I honestly don't know?" she looked at nick with an honestly confused expression like she was just as confused as him. "I washed before I came with you, Hey Cherry what kinda soap do you have at your house?" Cherry dash rolls her eyes for a second, "Only soap I have is mint." both Nick and Ina become silent. She blinks, 'is that bad or something?' "Well that explains it, Ina is allergic to Mint of most any kind, but why does it make her smell like blood?" He sniffs the air again, "Ahh now I'm smelling it from two locations Ina and ahead of us," It took him a few seconds to understand what he just said. "Oh fuzz, Why can't my life be easy I can't even transform into any other forms but Ice. I am also useless in a fight because of my near-death from energy loss. Sorry, Ina, this will be a solo mission for you." he grumbled something along the lines of, "Wish I had my Rifle or Revolver." Ina's ears perked up when she heard that, Nick was one of the few people who actually used firearms, but he only used them as a last resort, He preferred hand-to-hand combat best. If he wanted to use his guns this was serious, But the only thing Ina can do was obey and hope they can do something later to help Nick stop feeling so useless. "Yes babe, don't worry I will make sure the pokemon are safe." Then she sprinted in the direction of the smell of blood, she was ready to kick some evil Pony ass! That was until she felt a sharp sting on her neck, almost instantly her body felt heavy she fell into the snow and slid. 'w-what h-happened?' She would soon pass out, but before she did she realized they had captured her. The ponies are using sleeping darts to capture their prey, the last of her thoughts was, 'Nick....' An hour as passed and Nick was visibly concerned, his patience was running thin. "You know what?! I give up on waiting! I won't let my Best friend and love get hurt because of me being scared! Cherry give me an Apple!" Cherry quickly threw an apple to nick and he caught it in his mouth and bit it in half with ease. He basically ate the apple whole, the look on his face was full of determination. "Let's go-" before he finished his sentence he heard double 'pfft', he instantly recognized that sound. His body moving with years of practice and training kicking in at once, he backflipped over the darts but he was not used to landing on all fours so he lands on his back. He rolled over quickly and instantly spotted the surprised looks of ponies carrying dart guns, He got onto his paws and launched into motion. His body moving on instinct instead of moving my conscious demand. His years of training completely blocked out his mind and his body was moving like a rabid animal. He launched off the ground and uses a bite directly on the ponies' throat, his ears perked when he heard a 3rd 'pfft'. Again his body moved on instinct, but this time something smacked him in the back of the head. They were likely expecting him to fall over unconscious, but his training prevented that at least for a few seconds. He spun around to see a 3red pony and he growled, the 3 stallions all backed up in fear, honestly, they looked like they didn't expect this. Nick was holding back trying hard not to kill anyone but it was getting harder and harder to remain conscious, 'no choice'. His body took one careful step forward, then the ponies' worlds became a blur. One stallion slammed into a tree shattering his spine, that much was obvious, his back bent in an unnatural way. His breathing was labored but very much alive, he wouldn't be able to walk again. The second stallion landed in a snow pile upside down, very unconscious, blood was leaking from his throat where Nick bit him. The third pony had it worse off because he might have snapped his neck killing him instantly, But Nick didn't see any of this after he used his repulse, his body stopped functioning correctly and bassed out on the spot. What nick did was he used his natural speed and strength to hit each of the ponies 3 times in the stomach/ chest shattering ribs but also used the last hit to send them flying. He didn't think he could do it properly, he thinks he can though with those results. Cherry Dash looked in awe and horrified at the power Nick just expressed, he could do that but she didn't know. He always seemed so happy and careless, but it became obvious that he is a trained fighter, with years of practice and experience. He can be deadly but also so kind, It also became apparent he doesn't like those abilities, something about them frightened him. That's when nick fell to the ground breathing hard, but what caught Cherry's attention was the blood leaking from the back of his skull. He took a hit and it was a bad one, Cherry shook her head and rushed over to Nick's side. The injury was worse than what she thought, broken skull plate, No shattered skull plate. The only thing is that the injury was already healing, 'How is that possible he shouldn't be able to heal from this kind of injury!? He should need a hospital but they are closing up and the fur around the injury is starting to heal again.' Then she noticed something, the injury didn't heal, it just fixed it enough to allow Nick to function again with a few side effects like extreme pain and blurry vision. He wasn't even remotely fine just okay enough to continue fighting. Nick groaned and woke up, shaking his head. He quickly noticed the concern on Cherries face and he smiled, "I am okay don't worry about me I took worse" 'this might be true but even I notice I don't have long before my brain does a total shut down. Then I won't be helpful to anyone so I have to do this now and worry about my injuries later' The reassurance didn't relax cherry in the slightest, he sighed. "I will be fine for a little bit okay?" She quickly nodded, Nick found a stick on the ground and grabbed it in his paws then tried to walk only to fall on his face. He chuckled, "Eynope, I suppose that won't work hehe not bipedal anymore. so how will I defend myself? I cant use repulse again with this injury, all my others techniques are near useless, unless I have the energy for them. Which I don't, and my injuries slowing me down, so what to do?" he slowly looked around and smirked at what he saw, a Pony-made spear. 'Perfect just what I needed, a spear something I can actually use properly.' He quickly jogged over to the spear and pick it up in my mouth it was time to start fighting for his love. His anger and wrath erupted from his body, even Cherry an untrained pony felt the power behind it. "Let's go we have pokemon to save." Cherry could only nod, something didn't feel right though. Slowly Ina opened her eyes, she was still feeling drowsy. No not just drowsy, 'Come on Ina your love needs you don't sit around while he could be getting killed or hurt' She moved her paw only to notice she was chained down, 'chains really how cliche, these ain't even steel this is copper! Well easy for me to escape from, just need them to get up to 2k degrees F' easy!' She starts to breathe out a massive amount of heat directly on one chain near the right side of her head, the chain starts to gradually get hotter and hotter until it the chain glows bright yellow. Then she pulls the chain as hard as possible, all at once and, snap. She looks at the shackles and smiled, ' Idiots shouldn't use copper stuff is not as durable as steel or even bronze.' She just smirked and started to heat up the other chains on her left, she kept going until the chain also became Yellow hot then she snapped it. 'hehe dumbasses why anyone would use copper is beyond me she uses all her strength to literally shatter the last two copper chains on her back legs, ' now how to get out of this room?' Said room was dark and the only light coming from a barred door, it smelt of spoilt water. It was obvious where the ponies kept other prisoners in the past, she can see blood on the ground where the ponies hurt their prisoners. Ina was determined not to become one of those, Ina slowly walked over to the barred door. 'Hum copper again? Are they poor or something?' she just shrugged and started to breathe out fire again but this time like a blow torch, over the years of training with nick she learned how to use her flames like a blow torch when they needed to investigate the human activity. She just hopes that Nick didn't get captured also, he would be useless, she faces pawed hard. 'He's not useless just haven't learned how to fight like us yet.' the lock on the door popped off, the notice was loud, loud enough to wake up one of the pony guards. Ina's body moved on instinct faster than her mind comprehend the situation. She breathed fire into pony mares lungs, she tried to scream but it came out a choking gasp, she fell over and trashed on the ground. A few seconds later the thrashing quiet as the fire burned through her lungs and into her heart killing her instantly. Ina, while she had killed before, this was the first time she killed in such a manner and it bothered her deeply, but she pushed it out of her mind for now. She started to creep through the hallway, her ears perked up as her predatory eyes picked up movement in the dark hallway. She heard ponies talking the closer she got to the intersection of the hallways, something cliche like we will take the new one to the boss, which is very unlikely with her like this. She launched off the ground and into the hallway intersection right in the path of two very surprised earth pony guards, she couldn't help but smirk. Then the earth ponies visions became white with white-hot flames, the ponies fell on the ground screaming in pain. "That will teach you better than to mess with me!" She walked over the burning ponies on the ground swaying her nine tails happily, she looked around and saw the second prisoner wing. Then her world was filled with a loud explosion that seemed to continue for eternity. She looked around dazed, what she saw caused her jaw to drop, Standing over her was a smug-looking Absol. To her surprise, the Absol spoke, "So did the 'Boss' send you after me well you can tell that bastard I won't fall for his mind-control!" The Absol tried to blast Ina back but Ina spun her body in a manner normal pokemon don't learn, a form of martial arts created by Nick for Ina. Ina lands on the front paws and flipped back onto her back paws, to say the Absol was surprised was an understatement. Then He snarled, "Really your not a normal mind-controlled thug are you!?" "Mind control? Is that what happened to the Pokémon, interesting I suppose Nick wasn't that far off target then." The Absol jaw dropped, and he started to sputter incoherent words. "I suppose you were captured by the ponies too huh?" The Absol simply nodded, "Good wanna work together, you seem capable of fighting." The Absol, sighed and rolled his eyes but smiled. "Fine I suppose, maybe I will learn to trust you, 'cause you don't seem half bad" That accent is the same one Nick sometimes lets slip, but Ina let it go for now anyway. "Let's go help some Pokémon!" The Absol smiled and shook his head, he was obviously a nice Pokémon.
#6 QuestionsNick was not a happy Glaceon, for one, his love has been captured. His paws moved at lightning-fast speeds in 3 strikes, each one in the same ponies chest in the exact same location, causing the pony to get sent flying and cause devasting injuries. His body was running on fumes, but he pushed forward. The area was covered in dead or dying ponies, he wasn't holding back not anymore, when this was over he would be near dead. His father warned him, 'Son if you don't allow your body to adjust to sudden changes like using three palm strikes, Your organs will fail to kill you instantly.' While pokemon bodies were more resistant, he doubts they can handle a grand total of 40 three-palm strikes so quickly. It's like throwing an untrained civilian into Military Special Ops training, it could be dangerous. His body was covered in sweat and his newest injuries refused to heal, even his oldest injury (his broken skull plate) was burning in pain. His determination drove him forward though, that's when he saw the bandits hideout. A small hasty put-together base, even most humans could easily destroy. It was obvious to him that these ponies are stupid, not just stupid completely foolish, they made their base out of scrap metal and copper. Who would be so, so stupid?! This wasn't even fortified! He rolled his eyes and sighed, this will be easy maybe too easy. When he tried to step forward, his body seemed to have enough punishment, when he hit the ground with his paw. His entire legs exploded in pain it felt like his legs were chopped off, all his nerved in his legs activated in pain. He knew why his body was finished, he can't fight anymore, he wanted and tried to scream out in pain, but his voice just cracked and faded to the winds. He knew he would die if he didn't push himself, but this was too much physical pushing, his body can't take the stress anymore. He wanted to sigh or even move his head but his body was stiff, the only thing he could feel that wasn't pain was his rapid beating heart, and the stinging cold. Then Cherry walked up next to him, "You okay Nick? You seemed to have pushed yourself a little too hard. Your stupid sometimes you know that?" Nick couldn't do anything, not even nod or grunt. "Well don't worry I will try and rescue Ina for you," Nick knew Ina was already escaping, she was smarter than he is sometimes, He mentally chuckled. 'that Ninetails always gets my ass out of trouble so she is smarter than me, sometimes I wonder if I always had her. It would feel weird without her around, soon his vision blurred as his mind slowed down and he passed out. Being an Ice-type means his body would not die in the cold, so that's a plus... Cherry looked at the sleeping form of Nick and smirked, "Sometimes I wonder why my sister plays with her play gang and tries to make false money, Father trained me with a spear, so now sister I will bring down your little empire." She looked to the sleeping form of Nick and sighed, she truly cared for the Random and cheerful pokemon, she doesn't lie about her feeling. Sadly she has a mission to do, end her own sister's life. Father would do the same if he was still around. She gave Nick a small kiss on the head, He did her a great favor, taking out most of her sister's goons so she didn't have to waste her energy. She would have to beg for forgiveness after this, she didn't wanna lose Ina or Nick. She moved forwards towards the base, ready for war. Her spear pointed towards the base, she was prepared to kill. Good thing Nick made the feeling of Killing so easy, while she didn't like to kill she will. She had to ask nick how he knew those moved though, it was obvious he was a trained killer, she shook her head time to focus. She reached the gate to the inside of the base, she heard ponies screaming on the other side and something else, then she smirked she knew that sound. The sound she only heard one other time in the forest the first time she meet Ina, Screaming flames. She prepared her spear and wrapped ice around her horn, She blasted a large blast of frozen oxygen into the door shattering the locking mechanism. On the other side, ponies were surprised to not only see pokemon attackers but also one pony attackers, Their fear was visible, They didn't expect this. Ina walked outside alongside a white pokemon, They both looked smug, she kept her laughter down into a chuckle. Nick wasn't lying this Pokemon is a beast alone, even with a disadvantage, she still reigned supreme. When Ina noticed that Nick was nowhere to be seen, she glared at Cherry, Which Cherry smiled sheepishly. The other ponies were all but forgotten, well except by the certain white pokemon, he glared at them with rage. "So? Where is Nick Cherry? Don't tell me you left him!?" The glare Ina was giving Cherry was powerful enough to make the pony back up slightly, She gulped but stelled herself for the anger that would come. "Y-yeah I kinda did but I have to stop my sister, That means me alone, So go get you Colt- I um mean your Mate?" Ina sighed. "Fine but you and I are having a nice long talk after this! Come on Absol we have to take care of my mate." The Absol nodded and followed the Ninetails as she walked away. The ponies seemed more relaxed than was until, her voice dripping with contempt, Cherry spoke causing the ponies to shake in fear. "Where is Banana Dash?! If you answer I will spare you the same treatment I will express on my sister!" The ponies all pointed to the largest door in the entire compound, Cherry sighed, "Of course how cliche, My sister sure is dumb." She looked at the ponies trying to escape and they froze in fear, "Time to deal with you all." Her spear lashing out like a snake easily entered the flesh of the ponies, killing most on the spot the rest would bleed out quick enough. Banana Dash was simple, she didn't want attention or power. She only wanted to be left alone and do her own thing, sadly it seemed some of those 'pokemon' was stronger than she could have expected, It was obvious to her somemon shouldn't be fucked with. that wasn't the worse part of it some single pokemon ruined half her guards! Before he fell but Cherry dash was there also her big sister was not one to be taken lightly, most of the pokemon she once had been sold off, Except for one. She looked to the female Luxray that she had found in the jungle and captured, the only issue is that her mind control was not perfect because while the Luxray followed her commands, it seemed the creature was incapable of using its abilities in the slightest. That's when the doors exploded to show, Banana mentally groaned, her guards are useless! Cherry was standing there in front of like 6 guards all covered in their own blood, 'should have used more it seems now my plan is completely ruined and this Luxray is useless against fighters like cherry' Cherry cleared her throat, "Hello dear sister, it seems you should have got better guards, these are more useless than a Donkeys's ass." She blinked and giggled, she was mocking Banana dash it was Obvious! "Also I kinda just watched as that pokemon fought so I am full of energy-" her eyes narrowed showing her murderous intent, "-so let's dance one last time sister. You crossed the line this far dear sister, If father was alive he would mock you, He should have killed you when you tried to hurt those poor fillies back in the past." Banana growled, 'Her point?!' "You see sister the only reason father didn't shove his spear so far up your ass it came out your throat was because I convinced him otherwise, You embarrassed our family name." "Enough talk KILL HER!" The Luxray lurched into motion, it was obvious to Cherry that the Luxray was not a filling participant his body was sluggish like she was trying to resist but it was too hard. Cherry wasn't attempting to kill the Luxray, her spear lashed out like a snake hitting critical points, only for it to seem to have no effect. Cherry teleported away, 'New strategy, if I cannot hit pressure points an I don't wish to kill my opponent. Let's see if I can do what Nick did, or I can try my magic' She mentally face hooved, when the Luxray got close enough, she blasted a huge blast of frozen mist into the Luxray seeming freezing her in place. It wouldn't last very long, the Ice was already melting. maybe a minute at most, she had to deal a lethal strike and wait for the mind-control to fade away, She lurched forward aiming to kill her sister, But instead of hitting her chest, her sister ducked, but not nearly fast enough. An agonized scream filled the air, a small sound like glass falling on marble, It wasn't glass though it was Banana Dash's horn. Cherry missed, but good news the mind control spell wore off, bad news her sister seemed enraged and charged up her magic only to howl in pain. She tried to finish off her sister but there was a pop and a unicorn stallion, stallion stood next to her, Cherries' eyes narrowed, she aimed to kill the stallion but again she failed. Both the stallion and Her sister had teleported away in a pop. "Damn I was too slow, this time you were lucky sister, next time expect to die." She turned around to the stunned Luxray, "You okay? I didn't try to hurt you to bad, just needed you out of my way sorry." When the Luxray spoke it was calming to cherry. "Y-yes I am fine just shook a bit, I didn't expect to be taken down so easily. I fought but I couldn't overpower that mares mind control, You are that monster sister how can you?!" "I tried to make her better, seemed to have only made her worse, anyway we need to get you to town I have a bunch of forgiveness to ask for." The Luxray nodded and followed along without words 'Seems her personality has been suppressed, it will take time to restart it' Oh, Ina was really pissed, she thought cherry was defenseless, oh no she is strong and she let Nick take all the fighting alone!? That damn bitch! Nick took out 40 ponies alone, and he was weakened, Shit he could barely walk when she last saw him! How did he even do that!? Each pony had one large bruise, but Ina could tell it was actually 3 separate strikes in the exact same location, She had questions for Nick. She only saw a technique like that once, when she was just a Vulpix, the leader of the Dragon Skull clan. A clan she wished dearly to forget. They tortured her and treated her Like dirt, make her into a ruthless killing machine, or tried anyway, someone saved her but she is unsure of who. Whoever did it had her respect, it's one thing to stand up to Just your father but stand up to a Clan that is notorious for killing Weaklings. I hope they are alive and safe maybe she will meet them again! one could only hope! She blinked, Nick couldn't be could he? His personality is so Cherrifuly and happy, How could anyway carry that stress and be so happy? Author's Note The next chapter will be the answers I wanted to show people for a while, Why Nick is so resistant to DNA changes and maybe even some of his mysterious past. Also expect to see more of Banana Dash, Also a side note No Nick is not half pokemon
#7 AnswersWhen Nick regained consciousness, his body felt like it was one fire, he had an idea how much of an idiot he is. Why didn't he just follow Ina, he may have been weakened but he could still have fought. Why didn't he just stay still and wait, he didn't have to fight every single pony that crossed his path. I suppose his father's training, was embedded deeper than he thought. He slowly opened his eyes only to instantly regret it causing a stinging Headache to slam into his brain. 'Well at least I am alive, Ina would kill me if I died.' He chuckled, when the pain from the light faded he noticed he was in a hospital, in the exact same room as before. He tried to get out of bed but instantly regretted it, he grunted as his legs buckled under his weight and he fell out of bed directly on his head. He grunted in pain, it felt like he had a nail through his skull, he heard the door swing open. 'I hate hospitals, they always make me feel so weak and helpless!' A dark purple mare with blood-red mane and tail with a yellow-green stripe through her mane and tail, with Red orange eyes. Her cutie mark was a medical Cross with a blood-stained towel, "Hello Mister Nicholas If only you would have written your last name," He resisted the urge to snarl, 'I hate that last name I wish I didn't have it!' He looked at him and noticed his anger when she mentioned his last name, "Well anyway you see, You won't be talking anytime soon. You shattered almost every bone in your front right leg, and your left leg is just slightly better, you will be able to walk on it in a few days. Now I know this sounds bad,-" he was so close at snapping at her, but he managed to control himself 'Damn right, I kinda need to walk' "-But we have an idea how to assist you, soon we be having a doctor from Canterlot along and he/she will be your personal doctor for the time. Also, that little fox of yours seems to have a 'discussion' with Cherry about leaving you alone, and I think the Fox is correct. Also, you may call me Nurse Blood Cross, also just for your information you have been resting for 2 hours. We wanted to keep you for longer, but Cherry 'convinced' us otherwise, I can't believe you left for a few hours and returned with broken legs, also we can't get you a cast as we are unsure how your bone structure should actually be until we get a proper scan of your bone structure." Man, what is with these doctors and loving to talk?! Seriously it seemed they talked more than he does, and he was known to talk a lot. "So when will I be able to walk again doc?" "In a few hours, because we had to check the X-ray on your left leg then prepare a proper Splint, We cant cast your leg without proper medical supplies. Seriously what is with you and hospital visits, if any of us thought better we would think you enjoyed it here." 'I didn't, sorry but I hate being in one place too long' "I will let the Fox and Miss Cherry inside now, also it seemed they both brought company, they all will be joining you shortly." Company, Nick didn't like the sound of that, he quickly found out why she said company. The doors opened to reveal one very pissed-off Ninetails, an Absol, Cherry dash, and a smaller than normal Luxray. The Luxray caught his eye because she seemed to have been through a ton just in the few days they were here. His attention didn't linger though and he quickly looked back to the very pissed of Ina, he knew he had to explain who he was now, the look told him everything she noticed the injuries on the ponies. Also from her expression, she recognized the technique, no not recognize it she knew where it came from. He sighed, he wasn't gonna like to bring up his past, especially to someone who knew what his 'family' did. He tried to diffuse the situation but Ina cut him off with an angry glare, so he decided to let her talk. "Who the fuck are you really, I know where that 'move' came from, Its not pleasant. You must be RElated to the Dragon Skull Clan." "That's not their real name, but you would be half correct, I abandoned that clan at a young age. After I learned how to defend myself and be the best damn Human I could be. The clan's Real name is much more disturbing, 'Astrola Mingris', we had our own language. We didn't like outsiders, honestly, I think my family killed more humans than pokemon. We never talked to outsiders so we were out of the loop, for nearly three hundred years, that is until I was born." Nick winced from the memory. "They called me 'Olimuna Acria' which means in rough terms True Blood, In our clan Some are Called True Blood because our clan has a tradition of drinking the Blood of our first Victim." He shuddered at the memory, He didn't mean to kill them. "I was trying to defend my Pokemon, A small Eevee, I named him 'Ochla Tidria' which sorta means Ocean Tide but different. It really means Rushing Tides." He quickly realized everyone was confused on why he called the clans name disturbing and he sighed, "Astrola Mingris means Fallen Family, We called ourselves The Fallen Family! Anyway my little Rushing tide, He was a good pokemon so kind and gentle, I wanted him to become a Vaporeon. That's why I named him after the ocean, I wanted to become a Water Clan Leader. Our Clan has leaders for each type of pokemon, even if our numbers were around 400 constantly, each one of us even the females and children was trained to fight and kill. These Kids bullied me for years, and then when I got Rushing tide it didn't take long for them to think since I was distracted they could act." He took a deep breath as tears ran down his cheek and he quickly looked away, "That was the one time I wasn't fast enough. The one time I could have moved faster, could have acted quicker. There he was a young Nicholas Ochla Oma of the Astrola Mingris clan leaving training for the morning, looking down at his little friend Ochla Tidria, he was proud at how quickly he has progressed. The Young pokemon was a little under a few weeks old and already learned so much and became so powerful on his own, then all at once his Pokemon froze mid-step. Even Nicholas Froze something was wrong, the air felt thick and cold, it was a terrible kind of cold, he knew now something terrible would happen. He wanted to move but his body tried to flee but couldn't, then he heard it, laughter, not happy laughter no it was sadistic. Someone was enjoying his terror, that's when a boy appeared from the edge of his vision carrying a knife, not just any boy Someone he knew quite well. The Fire Clans Son 'Azurilian Omepha' His name was, 'Pilano Zecetra' Also known as Lost Child. That's when the boy spoke in a voice full of hatred and joy, "Well Look who Master Brought in The son of the Water Clan, the weakest clan we have. The joy I will have torturing you, since killing you isn't an Opinion I will, do something much worse." He pointed his knife at Ochla Tidria, Nick wanted to hit him hard but his body didn't move even with all wishing he made. "I will take my anger out on your pokemon, I will make it scream to die, letting you be helpless to watch. When your family finds out you couldn't protect your own, Hah they will have to Execute you in front of the whole clan." Nick shook with rage, No one noticed it but his hands started to glow slightly.- Ina, Cherry, The Absol, and even the Luxray looked sick, But he wasn't finished yet, Cherry spoke putting his story on hold. "Execute?! Your family would kill you!?" Nick just nodded and sighed. "Having a weak son is looked at as a disgrace, The family is required to either kill the child or banish them. I have to finish the story sadly, it gets worse.....trust me" Ina never heard Nick sound so hurt and in pain, It was obvious whatever happened he was disappointed in himself over. Lost Child Creep towards the little Eevee, him spinning his knife like a true expert. Then in a blur, he leap forward, The sound of a pained howl filled the air as Lost took the first slash of many more to come. Rushing Tide tried to flee or fight but couldn't move whatever was happening caused him to be unable to move, Master was crying for him, and neither one of them could so much as flinch. By Noon the ground under Rushing tide was covered in blood, Nick didn't remember each cut only the howl of pain that came after. His friend the Pokemon he put so much trust in, was in pain, and all he could do was watch! He was beyond furious, that's when Lost looked at Nick with a Blood covered face and a sadistic smile, He was holding his knife right over the Eevee's throat ready to slice it wide open. Then his knife blurred into motion, but instead of Pokemon blood hitting the ground, Human blood splattered the ground. The Knife that should have hit Rushing tide instead Hit Nick's arm, He had no recollection of this happening, only what happened after. Nick's eyes had become pits of hell to the surprised eyes of Lost, Three Palm strikes to the child's chest, each strike shattering bones. The Final strike send the child flying spraying blood from his mouth as his organs exploded, Directly into the surprised mouth of Nicholas, He just did it. Completely by accident, he became a man in the eyes of his clan. He looked over to his friend Eevee, only to feel the sense of accomplishment fade into dust. His pokemon legs were too weak to support his body anymore, and he fell into the puddle of his own blood. Nick couldn't stand to watch his partner in pain any longer, He had to send him peacefully, the poor Eevee's body couldn't have survived long anyway. Slowly Nick grabbed the same knife Lost had and slit his own pokemon's throat. The look of trust was the last thing Nick saw in his friend's eyes. His friend trusted him, not just to help him, but also to end his own suffering. Nick did what his friend wanted, he could have let Lost kill his friend but, it had to be him. Otherwise, the others would consider him weak and kill him, and his pokemon knew this also. Nick left the bodies behind him, And from that day forward he was called the True Blood. All the creatures in the room cried but Nick wasn't finished, he had one last story to tell, everyone was spooked when he spoke again. "After that day I made a vow, That scar I got from the knife, and the life of my friend would go to a good cause, protecting others. And so instead of a water type, I Grabbed A fire type, I was so lucky to find one, A young female Vulpix." Those words hung in the air for a second as instantly Ina looked at Nick as a sense of amazement and awe rushed into her senses, He was the one who saved her from that abusive trainer, He is the one who set him free but also got kicked out in the Process. She ignored some of the stories and just stared at Nick, But quickly started to listen again. A Tired looking Child Nicholas, was walking down the game trails of his Clan all alone, something he was used to. This time was different though, the energy in the air smelt of death, something we would not allows to happen. Then he looked off the trail and senses it stronger in that direction so he followed his senses, walking off the trails, he could sense something powerful growing. He wasn't sure what though, He just knew it would be powerful, he quickly saw where that feeling came from a female Vulpix. He quietly moved towards the Vulpix, His intentions were pure so most pokemon couldn't sense his presence, when he reached the Vulpix he started to pet her softly. The pokemon jumped but when she realized he wasn't going to hurt her relaxed into the petting. Nick just smiled, "Don't worry little one, I have no intention to allow anything to hurt you, and if something does. I won't let them go easily okay, you are under my protection until you wish to leave me understand?" His calming and cheerful voice calmed almost all the doubts the Vulpix had, That human's smile literally brightened the area around her. If He was like most humans, she had nothing to fear. Only he wasn't like most humans, one of a kind he is. Such a powerful sense of right and wrong, unwavering sense of justice and duty. The Vulpix smiled for the first time in a while, she felt safe, but most of all She felt needed. Something she always wanted to feel, needed for something greater than her alone. The Duo Quickly returned to camp, Nick was teaching The Vulpix he named 'Inarous Lumanna' Or Bright Hope. A name he thought was fitting for the young pokemon, She would become his hope in the future, and she would place his hope in him. One day everything changed, He went to go see Hope or Inarous in the training rooms and found her on the ground covered in her own fresh blood. The rage he felt was erupting out of him, His own pokemon whimpered at the feeling and backed up into the corner, she thought he was mad at her, He wasn't. "Who did this to you Hope?!" Those words barely left his mouth when he heard a slight cough behind him, Hopes eyes widened when she saw who was behind him and curled up into a ball. That reaction was all he needed to know who hurt her, his body looked to have been in two places at once when he spun around and roundhouse kicked his own father in the jaw sending him flying into a couple of crates, His father smiling. "Father I am disappointed in you. You should know better than to mess with my partner, and worse you injured her." The smile on his father's lips disappeared turning into a scowl. "You would put your faith in that weakling-" he didn't get to finish when his own Son cut him off. "More faith than you earned, honestly mom deserves better than you. I'm sick to even consider you my father after what you just pulled, get out of my sight before I kill you." Those words caused his father to be both taken back in fear and also pushed forward in rage, His own son disregarded him like a used rag, He trusted that Weakling was more than his own father. his father quickly got up and Nick tilted his head and sighed, "I didn't wanna have to fight my own father, but you left me no choice." He moved his body into a Dragon Killer stance, a stance only taught by the Dragon Skull Clan. A form said to kill dragons in One blow, But his father was undeterred. His son was a novice Right, he cant have picked up a whole Martial arts form in a little less than a month, He was half right. His son learned the whole form with ease, now it was training his body that was required, something easier said than done. Still, he used the form like a master, His son's body shot forward in a blur. The last thing he saw was the disappointed look in his son's eyes "And so I killed my own father that day, with a hit to his heart, banished from my tribe. The good news is I saved the pokemon, something I wanted to do, Save one friend." He briefly returned to his cheerful self, "I got this wicked brand though, kinda painful 2/10 not worth it." The brand was a Heart with an X over it. Everyone beside Ina chuckled slightly at the weak joke, Ina was just staring at Nick, he was the one who gave him the name Inarous Lumanna he quickly changed her name into Ina after the whole incident. This was the Human who she put her own life in his hands because she knew he wouldn't abandon her. That is why she felt so strongly when she saw him dying on the side of the mountain with a broken spine, She knew him. He was following leads on his clan, trying to find and destroy them. Ina quickly smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I love you, You big dummy I always loved you, Nick Of True Hearts, and I always will." The room fell into silence, Nicks jaw dropped, he wasn't expecting that. Everyone looked to Ina, that's when Nick cracked a smile. "Hello Inarous Lumanna, I kinda thought your name sounded familiar when you named yourself Ina. I just chalked it up to coincidence, but now I found my old partner, and she's so damn pretty I don't know what to think anymore. I love you to."
#8 Training?Ina smirked and looked down at Nick who was still on the ground, through the entirety of his story. "You comfy their love?" She giggled, Nick rolled his eyes but smiled all the same. "No can you please put me somewhere?" Ina sighed but nodded, but Cherry beat her to it, Cherries horn glowed and levitated Nick off the ground and lay him on his bed. Ina snorted and shot Cherry an Angry glare, she mumbled something, The Absol and Luxray both seemed to be very uncomfortable. Nick snorted, "Girls please, Cherry owes us an explanation, But I wanna know where this pretty Luxray came from?" That caused Ina to glare at him, he smiled sheepishly. She sighed, The damn sexy flirt. Then looked at the Absol, "Honestly you seem to have been through wars, I thought Nick was covered in scars when he was human, but you take the Pie." True to her words The Absol was covered in new and old scars, Nick just noticed and sighed. The Luxray Spoke with her words being chosen carefully, "H-how did Miss cherry know what I was saying I didn't have a Translation spell." Everyone quickly looked at Cherry, said pony was blushing slightly, Nick determined she was embarrassed about something. "Well that is a complex answer, I might have learned how to understand Pokemon language." The room fell silent, There was never any chance for humans to learn Pokemon tongue. Maybe there was, but humans never tried to learn it, but how could she learn it under a few days!? That had to be Impossible, or maybe they didn't just cast a Translation spell on the pokemon. Nicks's idea sparked and caught fire, The ponies cast a translation spell on Cherry to use her as a Medium between the pokemon. Nick just smiled, those ponies can be very clever. Everyone looked at him with surprise all except Ina, She knew he just figured out why that just happened, But she quickly sighed, he is stuck as a Glaceon. She also knew it was something he didn't like, he wanted to train in each of his forms. He wanted to become powerful, and able to switch forms at will, this would help him in combat situations. He wanted to protect those he cares about, he would do what was needed to assist those who needed his help. Soon Cherry went over what happened when Ina and the Absol left. Meanwhile, a Very angry and in pain Banana Dash glared daggers at Her Stallion Friend. "That you for saving me Love, but could you have acted faster?! I lost my damn horn, all because you are so damn slow! I also lost all my crew! I'm very angry with you!" The Stallion just smirked, all the way through her angry tantrum. "You done yet? I found something that will make you very very happy." That caused her to look at him with confusion, "I know you have this Vendetta against the Princesses in Equestria." She nodded confused, Her Stallion Friend smirked. "Do you want to go to war with her?" Banana Smirked and nodded, "Well I solved an issue." He lit his horn with his magic to show a huge room, a room full of foreign machines. Banana had no idea what these were, but they obviously used to be pony creations. She smiled, Finally something to return the Favor for all those issues that damn Princess Celestia created, She can finally get her revenge. She wasn't angry at her sister, her sister was right. She shouldn't have hurt those innocent creatures, But she had a job to finish. After a few hours, Nick had exited the Hospital, with a splint, and a very limping walk. He's lucky it wasn't worse though, he could not be able to walk at all. Honestly, anyone else would beg for a wheelchair, But not Nick he begged to not have one, to say the doctors weren't happy was an understatement. He limped over Cherry's Icecream shop, something that interested him, he had a taste for ice cream. The ice cream shop was nothing special, it had literally an Icecream cone as an indicator but that is all, Nick was confused why Cherry went into the woods to collect ice. That seemed a little far fetch, Who would collect ice at nice in the woods, alone? He shrugged its dumb to ask stupid questions when he knew the answer, Cherry was investigating locations to find her sister. 'I suppose I should train someone in the form of Dragon Killer Style, But who?' He got his answer when He spotted the Absol, 'I need to name you, but what? I should use my old language, but what term would match an Absol.' Then like a lightbulb, He remembered his mother's favorite line, Omulia Ek Destrua, Or Light in Shadows. "Hey, Absol I have yet to name!" Said Absol turned and looked at me, hiding his smirk. Nick noticed it though, 'I thought Absol, were tsundere or was that just that one trainer's pokemon?' He shook his head. "I have a name for you, Hello Omulia Ek Destrua, your name means. Light in Shadows, But I will just call you Destra, it seems fitting for you. So I was thinking, what if I trained you in Dragon Slayer style, it will be difficult to adjust properly into my pokemon form. I enjoy challenges though, so when I am able to adapt the form I will teach you it." Destra just smirked, he was nothing that one Absol, luckily Nick didn't have to act in defense for the Absol. Someone else did it, he was proud of whoever did it. The Absol nodded and smiled, and followed Nick, as he limped inside. Where both Ina and Cherry were giving each other glares, well mostly Ina, Cherry knew she deserved it. When Nick entered though both looked at him and sighed in unison, then Ina looked at Cherry and growled. Nick had to stop this before it went too far, He sighed. "Okay enough Ina, I get it your mad at her, so am I! Though she had a good reason not to tell us, Now Cherry can you make stuff?" Ina now turned her anger at Nick but said nothing, Cherry though was confused. "What do you mean? Make stuff? Like a workbench, I suppose I have something like that. Sadly it isn't as good as those fancy ones from the Central Equestria." Nick smirked and blinked, good but central Equestria just where are we? "So do you have a map?" Cherry nodded and walked over to her desk and pulled out a ragged map, when nick looked at it his jaw dropped. "This can't be correct that's Impossible, how are we part of Equestria when we are blocked by another country?! We should be part of the Griffin Empire or the Yak homelands! Does this say we are ruled by Equestria?! That's impossible, I may not understand those laws and ideas here but this is just odd." Ina took a peek at the map and her jaw also dropped, true to Nick's words, The location of Lost Vaine was over 20k miles from Equestria with two nations between them and Equestria. The Griffin empire/kingdom and whatever the Yaks called their homes, Neither Ina nor Nick could pronounce that word. To Nick, the yaks spoke something similar to the language of his Clan, but not close enough. Nick just couldn't understand this, not in the slightest. Cherry finally chose now to speak clearing the air some, "Yeah even I was confused when I saw the map, and just so you know those doctors were sent from Equestria a year ago. It will take a few months for that doctor of yours to reach it... Oh right we finally have that train functioning in Yakingston, it may take them a few weeks though to get here. Also with the travel time from Yakingston to Lost vaine, it's just gonna take a while, also why is that A-Absol, am I saying that right?" Nick just nodded, so Cherry continued. "That Absol is so happy and excited, why is that? what are you doing Nick?" "First meet Destra Everyone or his full name Omulia Ek Destrua, or LIght in Darkness. Also, I will be teaching HIm DRagon Slayer style, once I covert it fully into the use of quadrupedal pokemon. Sadly it won't be nearly as effective, always slower and always weaker than for the use of Bipeds. So that's a downside, But against normal individuals, expect instant death." That word caused Cherry to shiver, She still didn't like how she had to kill ponies, but it had to be done. Nick noticed and frowned, he never thought about those he killed, maybe he should. Destra spoke next, his voice calm and cocky, but it was obvious he cares. "Well as long as I can beat the enemy I don't care how we do it, we can't let others do something we could. That's just not Epic, we should also come up with an awesome catchphrase or something that!" Somewhere in central Equestria a rainbow maned pegasus, someone else used her favorite word and she was not okay with it. She wanted to hurt someone somewhere, but she was unsure where she huffed in anger. 'one day I will find you and show you what real awesomeness looks like! Yeah that's right I will get you, then I will show off my sonic boom!' Destra shuddered, he felt like he just cursed his own fate, but shrugged it off. 'Whatever happens, happens I will deal with it when it comes up.' He quickly realized everyone was staring at him, he cleared his throat and smiled. "So when will I learn this Dragon Slayer form you speak so highly about, I doubt it could be that great!" Nick frowned, then looked at the Luxray, 'she needs a name also it seems, but what would it be?' he smirked, "Oh you wanna learn Dragon Slayer, you will have to dodge attacks perfectly, to be able to learn it. Luxray use Electric Terrain!" The Luxray blinked but sent a blast of lightning through the ground shocking the caught off guard Absol. Destra smirked, "Well that was shocking." Everyone groaned, he frowned. "What it wasn't that bad was it?!" Ina just shook her head, "It was horrible don't do that again! You might kill someone next time!" Nick just smiled, "Bad Pun Super Effective," Everyone chuckled beside Destra, 'how was that funny!?' He smiled though, they weren't being mean they were just teasing him. Nick turned and looked at the Luxray, "I have a name for you, Thungerio ek Inarous, or Thunder of Hope a name you should try and live up to. Be the one that brings hope to those you help, but also bring thunder to your enemies. Hello Thungerio, but we will you, my clan's correct term for thunder. Quextra, we like our weird letters okay!" He said the last line because everyone was chuckling, it was not his fault his people liked their Q's and X's, they liked them not used them daily! He huffed in annoyance but smiled a few seconds later, ' these guys are amazing, I'm so happy I can count on them. I doubt anyone can stand in our path when they are fully trained, I hope we can live without pain and anguish.' Alas his hope will come to not, even now the war he will be facing grows. Ponies, griffins, yaks, zebras, and pokemon were all going missing seemingly out of nowhere, and a few nations were getting concerned, well not the Griffins. They were too busy with that Group Nick remembered As Checkmate, a Group he had a few dealings with in the past. Sadly in his eyes, they did not live up to the hype, couldn't even harm his tribe. He had a mission he had to complete and he will complete it, he will protect those he calls friends.
