A Different Kind of Hero

Chapter 1: A Rather Bad Start

~*~*~*~​

Run, run, your time has come.
Strength, bravery, kindness.
All to come, all to pass.
Run, for your time has come.


"What?! You can't leave now! Not today!" Vitesie exclaimed, wild blue eyes wide.
"Please don't go! This is the most important day of my life!"
Devra zipped up her duffel bag, then brushed out her long, cascading brown hair. She remained silent, keeping her gaze from Vitesie.
"Vitesie, I'm sorry. There's no way I can miss this oppurtunity. I finally have my chance to help support mom and our soon-to-be-born baby sister. This job will help me along on my career as well. If I don't leave today, the position will be filled." Devra said in her soft, calm voice, finally bringing her mild blue gaze upon Vitesie's wild one.
"Each person has a speacial place to be, sis. You are now finally beginning your own adventure, as I must begin mine as well. Professor Vine will lead me on mine. As his new assistant, I can finally sharpen my skills. You, on the other hand, are still quite young. There's still a lot of life to live out. By going to Professor Ginger today, you will have taken your first step. You wouldn't want to miss that step and fall down the wrong path, would you? Yes, I thought not. If I miss this first step...Vitesie, do you understand what I am trying to say?"
Vitesie brushed a strand of her sunblonde hair away from her eyes, then gave a nod, smiling.
"Yes, I understand fully. I wish you good luck."
The two sisters embraced, niether of them wanting to let go. It would be a while untill they saw eachother again. But what Vitesie didn't know, was that it would be much, much longer than she thought...

Vitesie stood at the doorway, smiling gently as her mother drove out of sight, taking Devra with her. They had said their goobyes, her mother handing her over a backpack she had packed herself. Any other normal kid about to start on their journey would have groaned in imbaressment. But not Vitesie. She knew Devra had packed it as well, and that ment healing potions. She knew her mother and sister would only pack the things she would need most.
Going back into the room she had shared with Devra, Vitesie changed out of her night clothes into a pair of skiny blue jeans and a blue tank top. Vitesie put on her belt as well, a light blue in color. It would be perfect for when she got her PokeBalls. Slipping on her shoes, Vitesie took one last look around the shared bedroom. One day, she would return, along with Devra, and they would share this bedroom once again, reunited as a loving family. Slinging the light purple pack over her shoulder, Vitesie was on her way.

It was a glorious morning, one that made Vitesie smile despite the sorrow she felt inside. The air was fresh, a breeze mingled with the scent of wild flowers, flowing about her gently. It was rather early, the sun half-arisen from behind the distant hills, spilling magical colors upon the valley. Since she would be getting to Prof. Vine's place early enough as it is, Vitesie decided to take the route to his place through the forest. Why not? It was such a beautiful morning.
A new horizon, a new adventure. Vitesie thought with a smile, recalling what Devra said often when Vitesie had been nervous about becoming a trainer. That's when she heard it, a distressed cry cutting through the peaceful atmosphere. Vitesie froze to the spot, looking around wildly. What in stars name was that?!
It came again, followed by intense laughter. That's when a thought struck her. Could that possibly be Devin...throwing rocks at another poor Pokemon again? Anger began to swell up inside her, and Vitesie changed direction, darting into the woods and toward the sound. If it was him, Vitesie was going to give him a hard lesson. She was tired of his foolish acts.
Vitesie forced herself to calm down, and slowed herself as she came to a clearning, darting behind a tree. Anger wasn't the answer, and it never got you anywhere. She would still give him a hard lesson that included her fist, but not out of anger. That wasn't her style. Peeking around the tree, she saw that her guess was accuratley correct. But then again, she wished she hadn't looked.
At the other side of the clearing stood Devin, his back to her. Tied to a tree before him was an Eevee, badly scored and nicked by the sharp rocks Devin kept on throwing at it. It was shivering, eyes clentched shut. Instantly Vitesie's heart went out to the poor creature. Swiftly, but silently, Vitesie snuck up behind Devin. Just as his hand came back to deliver a deadly thow of another rock, Vitesie grasped that arm to stop him. Devin pulled from her grasp and spun around, a sparkle of surprise in his brown eyes. But that surprise instantly turned to anger as he realized who it was.
"Vitesie! You little snob! Go away!" he snarled, hands clentching into tight fists. As an answer, Vitesie moved before the Eevee, blocking it from Devin. He turned to watch her, face turning red with anger.
"Why must you always step in the way?" a breeze came to ruffle his poorly spiked red hair, making his brown T-shirt flap. That breeze seemed to awaken a brave side of Vitesie.
"What you are doing is wrong, Devin! It's not right to torture Pokemon." she said, trying to be calm, even though her courage was building up with each second. In that next instant, she whished she hadn't acted so brave. The red from Devin's face faded away, a grin spreading across his face.
"Yes, you are quite right..." he took a whistle from his pocket, and blew it. Vitesie instantly went pale.
"W, what are you doing?" she said, nervous now.
"You'll see," was his cool answer, turning toward the left side of the forest. Vitesie heard the faint noise of pounding, hurried footfalls. This wasn't good. She had to act now, before Devin could do anything to her, or anything more to the Eevee. She quickly turned around, kneeling beside the tree. That is when she noticed the Eevee was white. Beautifuly so. It opened icy blue eyes, at which began to sparkle as Vitesie began to untie the rope. It wasn't to hard, but it was strong enough to hold a little Eevee in a tight constrict. She gently scooped the injured Eevee in her arms, then heard shouts behind her. Vitesie got to her feet and turned around, seeing Devin's fellow gangsters flooding around him. Devin turned and noticed the Eevee in her arms. Without any more hesitation, Vitesie turned and ran for it.

"Get her!" Devin shouted, and he and his fellows raced after her. All in all, Vitesie had five dangerous people on her heels. But Vitesie was quite fit, having often run track with Devra. There was no way they would be able to catch up with her now, unless they had a Rapidash. But then they began to chuck sharp rocks at her as they ran, desperate to make her fall. Vitesie felt many sharp stings as the rocks hit their target, but that didn't stop Vitesie.
The white Eevee in her arms looked up at her, eyes sparkling. Vitesie was filled with new hope, and ran faster, desperate to get the Eevee and herself to safety. Vitesie darted out of the trees,and having been running uphill, she came upon the spot she came to visit often for peace. It was a grassy cliff, and when you sat on the edge, you had a majestic view of a sparkling waterfall. The cliff wasn't too high up, maybe as high as a two story house. A lake lay beautifuly at the bottom of the cliff, sparkling purely. But the usual peace was shattered as angry and excited shouts from the boys followed her, tracking her down. But Vitesie kept running, right for the cliff. She had done this many times, the water deep enough to dive in with plenty of depth to spare.
"Hold your breath little one, okay?" she said softly to the Eevee, and jumped off the edge of the cliff. She gently clutched the Eevee to her chest protectingly, making her body straight, feet first, and held her own breath. She plunged in easily, slipping rather deeply into the water. Getting over the shock, Vitesie felt the bottom of the small lake, and pushed her feet against the bottom, propeling herself upward. She brought the Eevee's head up first, then her own. They both caught thier breath, then Vitesie quickly swam toward to waterfall. She fought against the tide that eventualy flowed into a swift river, and came to the edge of the water. The mist from the waterfall covered both her and the Eevee, and Vitesie stood up on a slick rock, looking back toward the cliff. She saw the dark outlines of the boys, but couldn't hear them over the roar of the waterfall. Surely they couldn't see her. Clutching the shivering Eevee against her, Vitesie walked in behind the water, welcoming the hidden cave with relief.

End of Chapter 1.

Well! If you read through that whole, yet rather short, chapter, give yourself a pat on the back. x3! Comments? If I get enough good ones, I'll post up another chapture. Even today! ^^

 

[Alana]

That was really good Legend. Well displayed emotions, plenty of action, good description, and some suspense too. You have a good hook and keep the reader well entertained. I can't wait for the next chapter. Please keep up the good work.

Chapter 2. A New Friend, A Fresh Chance

Glimmering, shinning.
Beautiful, majestic.
Tears of happiness,
Diamonds in the grey.
A new friend.

Vitesie woke, aching all over. She felt cold, and most of all, exhausted. At first, she couldn't figure out where she was. Why would her bed be so hard and wet? She had long ago shed aside the childhood pee in your bed tradition. Then she remembered, the wild dash to safety, trying to escape Devin and his gang. She must have fallen out of shock and exhaustion. The Eevee...
Just then, she felt a soft, warm lick on her cheeck, and Vitesie forced her eyes open. Sitting on her chest was the white Eevee, still shivering. But the look in the Eevee's eyes caught Vitesie off guard. There was love and respect, and most of all, trust. Vitesie smiled, and so did the Eevee. She was so beautiful, with the soft white fur and icy blue eyes...
Vitesie sat up, the Eevee sliding into her lap. For a few moments they just stared at each other, unable to break their gaze. Then suddenly the Eevee sprang up, and Vitesie gently hugged the Eevee to her. It was then Vitesie thought of a name to call her by: Star. Stars were beautiful, shinning in their mysterious glory, always glimmering and cutting through the dark of space proudly. That's what this Eevee reminded her of, a glimmering, beautiful star.
A strong bond of friendship was sealed at that moment, one at which brought tears to Vitesie's wild blue eyes. She had made a new friend.

"It's alright, this will sting a bit, but you need to be healed." Vitesie said, rummaging through her pack. Vitesie had doctored both herself and the Eevee, cleaning the wounds and such. But now she had to put the final touch. Star gave a nod, sitting still. Her fur was clean and dry now, and her eyes continued to glimmer in affection. Vitesie sprayed the potion on her, then put it away. Star toughed out the worst of the stinging, then smiled.
"Feel better? Good! I'm very glad." Vitesie stood up, slinging the pack over her shoulder.
"Ready to go?" Star nodded, and together they walked side-by side toward the mouth of the cave. Soon they were strolling along, away from the cliff and water, near the edge of the lake. Vitesie looked around carefuly, but didn't catch sight of Devin or his nasty gangsters. By the position of the sun in the sky, she could tell it was noon.
"Well, I'm late to Professor Ginger, but it's better than not going at all." she said, Star voicing her approval.

It took less than a half-hour to reach Prof.Ginger's two story house/laboratory. Vitesie paused upon the doorway, then knocked three times. There was silence, then hurried footsteps. The door opened, and a brow-haired man peeked his head out. His eyes widened both in surprise and shock.
"Vitesie! You're late!" he stepped aside, opening the door. Vitesie walked in, Star trailing in behind. Ginger looked down in surprise.
"A white Eevee? Wow, you don't see that every day!" gingerly, he scooped up the Eevee and held her in his hands. To Vitesie's surprise, Star didn't mind. Star just smiled, and put a paw on Prof.Ginger's nose.
"Friendly, too! Tell me Vitesie, when did you get an Eevee? And, most importanly, why are you late?" Prof.Ginger lead them to the living room and Vetesie sat in a big, poofy chair, Star coming to sit in her lap. Prof.Ginger sat in a chair across from then, and Vitesie told her story in the best of details she could.
While she spoke, Professor Ginger began to frown, then his eyes shinned in true worry.

"Devin? He came here a bit late himself this morning. I didn't know the lad, but I knew his mother. She never said he was a bad case. Or perhaps she didn't know. But I allowed him to take a Pokemon."
"What?! But Professor Ginger! He tortures Pokemon! Let alone other human beings..." Vitesie muttered, shifting a bit in the chair.
Prof.Ginger nodded, then stood up.
"What's been done has been done. We can't just take the Pokemon back from him. Devin and his friends left three hours ago. But there is something we can do...well, you can do. Start your journey, Vitesie, but keep an eye on Devin. He may change since he now has a Pokemon of his own...but we can't be sure. Here, take these." he handed her six PokeBalls and a PokeDex. Vitesie clipped the PokeBalls to her belt, and put the Dex in her pocket. The thought of following Devin made her shiver. But if it needed to be done, she would do it.
"Good luck, Vitesie."

Star pranced ahead of her, chasing a Butterfree that suddenly whizzed out from the bushes, making Vitesie laugh. The little creature had so much energy, it was really cute. Vitesie and Star walked along beside a ranch, near the bushes for easier walking. They were enjoying there time together, and Vitesie was grateful to have Star with her. Prof.Ginger had been out of beginning Pokemon, since she had been late. But that was fine by her, now.
Star was the first one to smell it. She stopped, tail going stiff as she brought her soft pink nose up, sniffing the air. Vitesie stopped behind the white Eevee, then noticed it. It was smoke, strong at that. The breeze had stopped, so it was easy to tell where it was coming from. Ahead of them was a ranch seperated from the other two they had passed, and the barn was on fire. Vitesie and Star looked at eachother, then raced forward. Vitesie climbed over the fence as Star easily zoomed under it. The distrested calls of Pokemon reached their ears, making Vitesie and Star run faster. The heat was pretty strong, but it didn't stop them from approaching the fire. There were other cries as well, Vitesie detecting them as two small boys.
"Help! Somebody please help us!"

Vitesie didn't need the coaxing, and sped to the barn doors. They were bared shut, but she managed to unlock it and swing the door open. Fire instantly poured out, making Vitesie double over in a coughing fit. The smoke cleared a bit, and she made her way in. Two boys stood huddled in the corner of the barn, clutching to each other. Rapidash and Ponyta alike were strewn about, nieghing and stomping thier now deadly hooves about. Only three Rapidash's remained somewhat calm, and they had a bluish tint to the their flaming tails and manes. They stood around the two boys, as if trying to protect them.
Seeing the barn door open, the Ponyta and Rapidash began to run straight for her. Vitesie quickly leaped to the side as they herded out, fear making them run straight through the fence.
"No! We can't let them get away!" one of the boys shouted, mounting a Rapidash. The other boy did as well, and Vitesie made her way to them. Without question or asking she got on the third one, Star appearing and jumping up in front of her.
"I'll help you." the other two nodded, and together they raced out behind the rest of the Rapidash and Ponyta herd. Just then the barn collapsed behind them, sending ashes and embers spitting everywhere.
Vitesie was now surprised she wasn't being burned by the Rapidash. It must have read her good intentions.
Suddenly a shadow fell over them, and the three of them looked up, Star crying out her distress. There were three Charizards, all at which had a being on it's back. And they were wearing the clothing of Team Comet.
~*~*~*~
Sorry if that wasn't as good as the first, whoever bothers to read this. ^^' I'm tired, and I need to go get some more sleep. This isn't the end of the chapter, by the way. I'll type up the rest of this chapter later when I am able to get back on. Comments are still welcome. ^^

 

[Alana]

It was fine. I hope Vitesie catches Devin and his gang. He's a real jerk. He'd better not hurt the Pokemon he got. *walks around muttering angrily about how cruel some people can be* But again it was a good chapter. Like the first good description, action, and suspense. Keep up the good work.

 

[Heart-felt]

[(Thank you again, Alana! I appriciate how you are taking the time to read and comment about this Fan Fic. ^^!)]

Chapter 2. Continued​

Vitesie was shocked. Team Comet...they were like some sort of freaky legend. They were rather clever, and the officers' were never able to catch them. But what were they doing here? It became apparent a few seconds later. The Charizards passed over them, swooping down over the herd of fiery Pokemon. Then they began to herd them, directing them onto a grassy field. It was a long stretch of greenery, wild flowers in full bloom. Vitesie looked over to the lad with blue hair, and realized he had released a Pokemon. It was an Arcanine, and it was running beside him.
"Arcanine! Fire Blast!" the boy orded, pointing up the the nearest Charizard. The Arcanine sped forward, trying to get under the Charizard. When it did, it's eyes began to glow a fiery red, a strong burst of fire issuing from the opened mouth. Vitesie knew full well it wouldn't do much harm to the Charizard, since they were both of fire. But maybe it would distract it.
And so it did. More so than she would have expected. The blast hit the Charizard on the soft stomache, making it roar in protest. Suddenly it swung around, shooting a stream of fire in their direction. Both Vitesie and the boys had to steer out of the way. This wasn't looking good. Regaining lost ground, Vitesie looked ahead. They were nearing the sea, and what she saw made her blink. There was a large boat, pulled up as close as it could get to the shore. A wide ramp clamped down onto the land.
Vitesie put the pieces together, then grimaced. Team Comet was steering the herd right into the large boat! Along with them!
"Boys! We need to pull off! We have no choice!" she shouted over to them. The twin boys glanced at eachother, then as one, both them and Vitesie broke off. But it wasn't meant to be.
The Charizard near them herded them right back into the throng, along with Vitesie. They intended to force them onto the cargo level of the boat!
"Arcanine! Go ahead and see if you can change the direction of the herd!" the boy owner shouted, and once again Arcanine bounded ahead. Star shivered, pressing against Vitesie. She was feeling the tention and fright of the Ponyta and Rapidash. Vitesie brought a hand to run through her soft fur.
"Everything will be fine, Star. We just need to think of a way out of this." she said soothingly, then looked ahead to the front of the charging Pokemon. The Arcanine was trying its best to herd the Pokemon in the other direction, but the Charizards were quick to overpower. All they could do was enjoy the ride. Well, maybe enjoy wasn't the correct statement at the moment. The boy returned his Arcanine to the proper PokeBall, then sighed. There was no stopping this.
Soon the sharp clang of hooves hitting thick metal rang in the air as the herd charged up the ramp, right into the cargo storage of the ship. It was semi-dark, and when the last of the group had charged in, the ramp was automaticly pulled in, and the descending door blocked out all light. The herd had been forced to stop, nieghing and rearing in distress. Their flaming tails and manes were the only sorce of light. The area was pretty big, big enough for the Pokemon to lounge about without getting uncomfortably cramped. Eventually they calmed down, and it was safe enough for Vitesie to climb off the Rapidash. She gave it a thankful pat on the back, and Star jumped down onto her shoulder. The two boys got off their Rapidash as well, and came forward. But before they got the chance to open their mouths, a door squeeked open on a balcony above them. Tensing, all three looked upward. Now, this wasn't your ordinary, buffy bad guy. This was more like a slim jim, trying to be all buff. He had spiky orange hair, and a dark blue fancy men's uniform on. His black shoes were over-polished, and he had an air of high rank about him.
"Welcome to the ship of Team Comet, my friends."
~*~*~*~
End of Chapter 2. I know where to end them to create more suspense, eh? I'll get to the other chapter soon enough. ^.^!

 

[Hawk of the North]

Bah, I hate cliff hangers. Despite it being a cliff hanger, this is a pretty good story. I'm glad I decided to read it. Keep up the good work!

 

[Heart-felt]

[(Cliff hangers enable a better chance for the reader to come back and find out more, and read more. x3. Well, hopefully. I'll give you both rep for reading this. ^^ I really do appriciate it!)]

Chapter 3. A New Threat​

Your stare says it all,
and I'm forced to look away.
It feels as if I'll fall,
Please don't lead me astray.


"I have you to thank, young lady." the slim jim guy said, leaning against the railing above them casually. Vitesie blinked, speachless. What the heck was he rambling about...?
"I sent one of my thugs to put that barn on fire. But the idiot blocked the door. The plan was to scare the Pokemon out and steer them here to the ship. I thought for sure everything alive in that barn was going to burn...but then you came along. You smoothed our flaw, and even helped us lead the Pokemon in the right direction." he grinned, peering down at Vitesie. His gaze sent chills up and down her spine. Her head spun with confusion, and once again, she was speechless. The silent one of the two boys yelled up to slim jim dude.
"That was a dirty trick! We almost died!" he shouted, raising a clentched fist up to him.
"You'd better realese us and our Pokemon, or I'll-"
"Do what? Bite me?" the villian cut in, smirking.
"Later, shrimp. You won't be harmed if you be good little guests down here in the cargo hold. We'll be arriving at BlueJay Town in a few hours. Now, I guess I had better introduce myself. The name's Jim Cobra, but I'm better known as J.C." with another smirk, he turned around on his heel, and departed through the door, and it closed tightly behind him with a soft clang. Vitesie sank down to the floor, in shock. The two boys came to her side, sitting next to her.

"Lady, don't listen to him."
"Yeah! You saved our lives!" the other chimed in.
"Yes...but I also put you right back into danger." Vitesie said softly, gazing at the fiery Pokemon.
"But at least we are alive. You know...you're sure one heck of a different kind of hero." the quieter one said. Vitesie looked over to him in surprise and a bit of confusion.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, usually, when a hero saves some one, they are put into immediate saftey. But you, on the other hand, saved us from danger just to put us back into a new set of problems. But I have a feeling you'll save us again."
During the next hour, Vitesie began to feel a surprising link of friendship between the two. They introduced themselves as well. The quieter and more cautious twin was Sev, and the more daring and hyper one was Kev. They were good company, and even Star began to grow fond of them. But Vitesie knew they had to focus on the problem at hand.

"Alright, I think I know what we'll do..." Vitesie glanced upward, making sure cobra flavored Slim Jim wasn't listening in, then conversed her plan in a soft whisper to Star, Sev and Kev.
It was rather simple, actually. When they docked at BlueJay City, Star would dart about the fiery Pokemon, making them nervous. It would kind of give them the impression that a ghost was darting about them, since she was white and all. Vitesie, Kev, and Sev would be on their own Rapidash, in the far back. Once the cargo door slid upward and open, and the ramp clamped tightly onto land, they would shout encouragement to the Pokemon to run. Since they would be spooked enough as it is, they would instantly charge out. Kev and Sev would have their Arcanines out, at either side of the group. They would lead the Pokemon this time, straight to town and to the protection of the officers. Team Comet wouldn't dare follow them there. This was bound to work. Hopefully.
They didn't have much time to think of any other way, for they felt the ship come to a stop. The sound of the ramp being lowered was heard. Sev, Ken, and Vitesie got into their right postions, along with the two Arcanines. Star began to dart among the Rapidash and Ponyta, making them whicker and rear in nervous reaction. It was time for action.
~*~*~*~
That was evily short, but only becuase I need a small brain-break. I'll come back to it as soon as possible. ^^

 

[Legge]

Finally read through all the chapters. Yay! They rocked! And It's best this wont have a sad ending, young lady! ^^;;

 

[Alana]

More suspense. I like that. You're right it does hang on to the reader. Vitesie's got a good plan. I hope it works. Please post again soon.

 

[Raichu Master]

On the upside...it's quite intriguing! ^^

Well as with everything I have to critique it or I'm not happy.

The length is good. I know when I was starting it was hard for me to do it. So cudos for that.

Description is lacking...alot...the more description the better. Describe Vitesie more, as in physical appearance. Also describe the thoughts of others and pokemon. Anything you can look at, describe it, in more than one sentence. I'm a real stickler when it comes to description.

Also paragraphs are too close together. If this was an english paper it would never pass. Only because the distinction between paragrphs isn't there. Most of the time it looks like on hug paragraph.

Remember when you change speakers it's a new paragraph. And when you're doing description, a new paragraph is when you're switching topics.

But over all it's a nice peice of work! ^^

 

[Heart-felt]

[(You guys are the best! Thank you bunches^^!Thank you for pointing those out, Raichu Master. I guess I could get into description a bit better. You'll see a better change in chapter four.^^)]

Chapter 3. Continued​

Vitesie felt a flood of excitement zip through her viens, making her shiver in anticipation. She couldn't believe she was already dealing with such things...and it was her first day from home!
Star had the Pokemon pretty stirred up, and jumped up to take her seat in front of Vitesie before she could get trampled. Just then, the moment came. The upward sliding door began to open, and light flooded into the large cargo hold. Two thugs came strolling in, whips in their hands. But the Pokemon were to rattled up to care. They began to surge forward.
"Ya!"
"Get going!"
"Run!" the three shouted, their mounts kicking into gear as well as the load of Pokemon began to quickly spill out through the opening, down the ramp. The two thugs yelled in fright, having no choice but to jump off the sides of the ramp and into the glassy waters.
The Arcanines were quick to take control, herding the Pokemon out. Vitesie took a quick look around, and blinked. They had docked in the abandoned part of BlueJay City, and there was a dark cloud hovering about the place. It was cold and dreary, a perfect place for Team Comet to do their dirty work and deeds. Looking to her right, she saw sunshine and a welcoming site. It was the real part of BlueJay City, seeming to sparkle in it's lovely glory. They turned in that direction, but team Comet didn't take to long to get over their shock. They streamed out of the passenger section of the boat, shouting in furry.
"Hey! Get back here you little rascals!" Vitesie looked back over her shoulder to see one of the thugs throw a PokeBall, the red light parting to reveal a Charizard. It must have been one of the thugs that had set the barn on fire...
"Get them!" he barked, and the Charizard quickly winged into the sky, and came straight for her. Vitesie turned back around and steered her Rapidash to the side slightly, avoiding the Charaizrd. It roared in protest, then quickly darted over to Sev. His eyes widened in fright when the Charizard came and snatched him off his Rapidash, beginning to raise him into the air. Star quickly leapt from her perch, a daring move. She attatched herself on his back, then sunk her teeth into the fragile membrane of it's right wing. Knowing what was about to happen, Vitesie quickly came underneath the Charizard, arms up to Sev.
Just as she expected, Star's bite to its wing made the Charizard drop the small boy, but Vitesie caught him, his wieth surprising her. But she helped him settle before him, feeling his body shake slightly in fright.
"Th, thanks Vitesie!" he stammered out. Vitesie patted his shoulder, then felt Star jump onto her shoulder. Star must have bit a rather good spot, for the Charizard fell to the ground, sending up a dust cloud. Vitesie was amazed by Star's quick reaction and good knowledge of a weak spot.
Home-free, the group was quick to enter the safety of the town. As a precaution, they made sure to steer the Pokemon around the outskirts of the town untill the Pokemon calmed down. There was a meadow near the town, so they came to rest there, and began to graze. The Arcanines' contuined to watch over them carefuly, and made sure they didn't wonder off. Sev, Kev, and Vitesie slid off their mounts, then plopped onto the grass and small flowers.
Vitesie didn't notice that she had dozed off, lulled to sleep by the warm sunshine, and the satisfaction that she had done some good today.
A Ponyta stood near, parted a bit away from the rest of the Pokemon. Her strange golden eyes watched as the white Eevee came to curl up on the girl's stomache. She had not only saved them all once, but twice, putting her own life on the line. The Eevee had also been extremely helpfull, showing respected knowledge and courage for such a small creature. The Ponyta whickered, pawing a cloved hoof on the ground. That's also what made him so different from the other Ponytas': his cloved hooves.
The Ponyta troted over the the slumbering humans, then nieghed to get their attention. Instead, the Eevee pricked up an ear, and brought her gaze to Ponyta. She carefuly leapt off Vitesie, then stood up on her hind paws, peering up at the Ponyta. Ponyta brought his head down to her level, and Star put a paw on his muzzle. They conversed between eachother queitly, then Star smiled. She went back to Vitesie, and almost unwillingly, nudged her awake.
Vitesie rubbed her eyes, then looked around.
"Sev, Kev, wake up. We'd better get this lot back where they belong." Kev and Sev woke, sitting up as well.
"We'll make sure you're escorted, though. I believe it's Officer Jessica that is in this town." Vitesie added, getting to her feet and helping the other boys up. They decided that Kev would stay here with the Pokemon while Vitesie and Sev went into the city. Vitesie and Sev hugged, just incase Vitesie decided to stay in town and try to win her first badge while she was here. Sev even hugged Star, and thanked her for saving him.
Then Star, Vitesie and Kev began to walk toward the city.
They didn't notice that the cloved Ponyta was following behind them as well...

Okie dokie! End of chapter three! ^^! I promise the next chapter will be better, guys. I'll have more time to be on the computer today for once. x3 Thanks again guys!

I'm glad Vitesie's plan worked out. Is that Ponyta going to go with her? It sounds like it's thinking about it. So far I really like all the characters. Well at least all the heroes. And Star sounds like the cutest Eevee. ^_^ Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next post.

I'll have to agree with everything you said, Alana. Nice writing there, Legend! Can't wait until you post the next chapter. ^_^ Way to go, Legend! XD

 

[Heart-felt]

[(Lol, you shall find out Alana. ^.^ You might notice a change in this next chapter. I've been getting used to the fact that my writing is being viewed in the process, so I'm not so uncomfortable. I've never done this before, but it's not too bad after all. x3 I guess I'll space it when it comes time for a new paragraph, so it's easier to read as well. This is going to be a longer chapter, so bare with me.^-^)]


Chapter 4. Let's Battle!​

I may be small,
I may be rather different,
But that doesn't hide the fact
That I can't outsmart thee.
Hear my call.



"Team Comet? Now that's going a bit far! But either way, there hasn't been much activity from that group for a while. But they sure came back with a bang." Officer Jessica said in a soft toned, awed voice. Deftly, she flicked a lock of her reddish hair over one shoulder. Mostly out of habit, Vitesie thought.

"Yeah, but Vitesie was there to save us two times in a row. I'm just worried Team Comet will come other us again." Sev explained, soft green eyes glimmering slightly. Officer Jessica stood up from her chair, coming from around the desk. You could mistake her for any other resident in BlueJay City, accept for the fact she wore a gleaming badge pinned near her right shoulder. She wore light blue jeans, and a white tank top with a navy vest. To complete her look, she wore white sneakers. Her red hair cascaded over her shoulders, stopping at about the middle of her back. Sev and Vitesie had quickly entered the city, surprised that there wasn't much traffic. The sun was already beginning to dip down below the closer looking hills, once again splashing majestic colors over the valley. Once they had found the Police Station, Jessica listened to their story openly.

"No need to worry, Sev. My troops and I will escort you and your Pokemon back home. I will inform the Officer in your area about what happened, and have him keep a good look out for you." she put a slender hand on Sev's shoulder, and he smiled. He than gave a nervous twitch to his green shirt, wiping his palms on his jeans near the thighs.

"Th, thank you, ma'am." he stammered, looking up at her. Officer Jessica gave his shoulder a confident, gentle squeeze, then turned to Vitesie, who was standing next to Sev. Vitesie stood a bit straighter, knowing that her sunblonde hair probably looked rather wind-blown and fluffy at the ends. Vitesie hoped she didn't look too bad.

"I'm sure your services to Mr. Ryan's ranch won't be forgotten. I thank you as well. I've been wondering where Team Comet would strike, for they had been calm for the longest time. The calm before the storm, it seems. You only witnessed a breeze of it." Officer Jessica said with a half-stern smile, then flitted her gaze over Vitesie's shoulder. A curious look came to her face, and she gave a blink.

"Is that your Ponyta?" Vitesie and Sev both turned, jumping slightly as they came face-to-face with the golden eyes of the cloven hoofed Ponyta. It was looking right at Vitesie, giving a soft whicker. Star, who had been sitting on the desk the whole time, smiled to herself. She knew what this was about.
Vitesie reached out to stroke Ponyta's muzzle, not realizing she was doing it until the Ponyta closed those amazing golden eyes in comfort.

"Aww, look at that! Looks like you have yourself a new Pokemon, Vitesie." Sev said with a merry voice, eyes shinning. Vitesie looked around to him, shocked.

"What do you mean? This is your Ponyta."
"Correction, he's my father's Ponyta, since he owns the ranch, you see. Plus, you saved our butts not only once, but twice! My father will understand. Besides, there's no seperating you from this Ponyta, by the looks of it."

Giving a confirmed whicker, the Ponyta lowered his head to Vitesie's belt. He nudged a minimized PokeBall, and disapeared in a red flash. Vitesie was still shocked when Sev and Officer Jessica gave a laugh, clapping her on the shoulders. Vitesie was getting over the worst of her shock as she gave her farewells to Sev and Officer Jessica, and they parted on their different ways. Since it was getting dark, she knew the Gym would be closed. So instead, she headed over to the Pokemon Center.

Entering through the class double doors, she paused in momentary awe. The room was large and circular, and there was a large, hollowed out place in the floor. There was a fire place, crackling merrily. Comfortable, connected couches were against the hallowed out wall, the tops coming to meet the regular floor level. There was a nice plush carpet there as well.

Tables stood neatly and ordered, but spread out, to the right of the comfortable couch area. There was a soda and candy machine as well. Vitesie walked in further, Star prancing by her side, darting her icy gaze around in awe as well.

"Yes, she just came though the door." came a melodic voice from the desk at the far back of the room, making Vitesie freeze. She spotted a golden haired woman, busily typing away at her computer terminal, a phone proped against her ear and shoulder so she could talk and type at the same time.

"Oh really? That's interesting. Sure, I don't find that a problem at all. She's wlecome to stay as long as she likes. Thank you Officer Jessica, and good luck to you." reaching up with her right hand, she took the phone down from her ear and hung it up. Turning her head to Vitesie, she gave a dazzling smile.

"Welcome to the Pokemon Center, Vitesie."
~*~*~*~
