Hey everyone! Welcome to my fan-fic thread! This is A Taillow's Plight, a story about a young Taillow who becomes the child of a Blaziken and the sister of a Torchic named Fawkes.
This is my first fan-fic, so it may be a while before I get the hang of things. Thanks to Blue Angel for the 'slow down' suggestion. :laugh:
I am constantly updating and fixing any errors I find in the prologue and chapters below, so, for the most part anyway, grammar and spelling shouldn't be a problem. If you do find an error however, please let me know and I'll fix it right away. For those who care, this fan-fic is rated PG for mild violence and mild suggestive themes.
This story was started before the Sinnoh region came along, so the first part of this story contains no new Sinnoh Pokemon. Chapter Six is when the first new Pokemon is mentioned.
So, enjoy! Reviews, comments, and questions are loved! ;)
Prologue
There was once a young, feisty, overprotective mother Blaziken, who lived high atop a jagged cliff, deep into what were known as the Craggy Mountains. She was guarding her nest, which contained five crimson eggs.
The nest was made out of sharp thorns and twigs, but the thick shell of the eggs kept them safe from any harm. The mother attacked any living thing that came close to her nest, so the eggs were always protected. The mother Blaziken occasionally blew a gentle stream of flames around the eggs, keeping them warm and healthy.
However, on the very same day the eggs were due to hatch, a Rhydon challenged the mother Blaziken, wanting to take over what Blaziken thought of as her piece of land.
The battle was quite a scene, and the Rhydon seemed to be winning. Using Iron Tail, Rhydon sent the mother flying across the plateau where she lived. It was a massive hit, and the mother Blaziken was not prepared for the blow.
Blaziken lay there, silent and unmoving.
The Rhydon moved in, checking to make sure the battle was his. He inched closer, then closer…
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the Blaziken whipped her long talon across the earth, sending a cloud of dust everywhere. Surprised, the Rhydon cried out, trying to shield his face from Sand-Attack. Before his vision was clear again, Blaziken's foot, alight with a scalding fire, whammed him in the chest, hard. Blown back by sheer force, the Rhydon managed to stand up, but just barely.
Fighting for her life and offspring, the mother continued to battle her foe into the heat of the day...

An intelligent mother Swellow also lived around the cliff, but in a small cave a few hundred feet away from the mother Blaziken. Unlike the Blaziken, she had laid only one egg, and she had had little success keeping her egg as safe as the other mother.
Her egg was thin-shelled and tiny, and almost every Pokémon that lived on the mountain took that as a snack, even the weak Ratatta.
Her wonderfully built nest had been overrun by a group of angry Stantler, who argued that the land the mother Swellow had built her nest on was their property. All Pokémon were very fierce about where their land started and ended.
As the mother Swellow alighted from her roost and flew across the skies, she grasped her single egg tightly in her talons as she searched for a new and unoccupied place to make a nest. The mother Swellow's long and slightly frazzled tail feathers whipped behind her as she realized - to her utter mortification - that the eerie, distant call of a certain steel bird was getting closer.
Skarmory, the ruler of the skies, the Craggy Mountains, and just about everything his set his hard, golden eyes on, had spotted the Swellow and was furious. He believed that there was a place for every Pokémon in this world, and if they had no place, they should not be here, especially in his mountains. He had told everyone in the Craggy Mountains many times of his rule, and still, he sighed; they refused to follow it.
The unmerciful Skarmory swooped down out of the sky like a silver missile and rammed into the mother Swellow. With a screech, the mother dropped her only egg, and even though she tried desperately to snatch it back, Skarmory simply wouldn't let her go. A tear rolled down Swellow's cheek as her egg tumbled down toward the Earth. While in the skies, Skarmory finished what he thought needed to be done.
There must have been some luck with the mother Swellow that day, because her egg landed squarely in the mother Blaziken's nest while she was fighting off the Rhydon. It bounced once and cracked slightly on a thorn, but landed in the nest, just the same.
After a final strike by the Blaziken, her powerful Blaze Kick, the Rhydon could take no more and fainted. As soon as his heavy metal body crashed to the ground, the mother Blaziken almost flew over to her nest to make sure her prized eggs were safe.
All were, including a strange aqua blue egg with a crack that had mysteriously appeared in her nest. The blue egg was a strange sight, and in extreme contrast with the red and black underbrush that made up Blaziken's nest.
Finally, after thinking a while, the Blaziken decided to wait and see what would hatch from the egg before she did anything with it. If it was an enemy's offspring, she would do what her instincts told her and toss the egg over a cliff. But for now, she would wait.
Bending down slowly, she blew once again on the eggs, and as a result the southernmost egg cracked suddenly and loudly.
The Blaziken stood up proudly and triumphantly as the rest of her eggs cracked and broke open to reveal strong, healthy, and adorable baby Torchics. They were wet and slimy, and Blaziken began to clean them up and dry them.
The aqua egg, however, did not hatch. The mother Blaziken picked the egg up slowly, thinking that maybe it could be a dud. An egg other then a Torchic egg would hatch almost immediately if fire was blown onto it, because the boost of warmth would 'wake' the baby up and cause it to break open the shell.
She was just about to toss the aqua egg away, when to the mother Blaziken's surprise, with one loud crack, the top of the shell split open and a baby Taillow, fresh out of the shell, cried its name:
"Taillow!"
