# Part 1 His name is Dash!

Just a story I have thought about writhing a while and finaly came around too.

There exists a world full of remarkable  
creatures with amazing abilities. They wander the land, soar through the skies  
and swim the deepest oceans. This is the wondrous world of pokemon.

Humans and pokemon live and fight together  
in pokemon battles, but this story takes place far from the lands of humans...

**His name is Dash**

Cory and her vulpix friend Sune made their  
way through the bushes towards the sound of running water.

"See, see, I told you there was a stream  
here." The joyful chikorita said as she skipped out of the bushes.

The small vulpine followed her friend into  
the clearing and noticed that there in fact was a stream of fresh, clear water  
running through it. Suddenly she froze and starred at something lying next to  
the stream.

"Cory, what is that?" she whispered timidly.

Cory stopped skipping around and looked towards  
the object by the stream. It was a body! She crept closer to examine it and  
noticed that it was a small pokemon. He was covered in brown fur with a white  
"collar" round his neck. But the strangest part was the thing hanging from his  
right ear. It looked like a strange kind of cross.

 

"Are you okay?" she asked as she nudged the  
unknown pokemon before her.

He stirred and began to wake up.

"Where... where am I?" he began to rise up,  
then he saw Cory and Sune and jumped backwards in shock. "You... you are  
pokemon?!"

"Of course we're pokemon," Cory replied  
slightly confused. "So are you. I mean, I have never seen a pokemon like you,  
but there are lots of pokemon that I've never seen so I'm pretty sure you are a  
pokemon because you can talk and if you can talk then that means you're  
sentient and, that is a funny word isn't it... sentient... what was I talking  
about? Anyway, what's your name? Are you alright? My name is Cory. I like  
poffins, do you like poffins? Oh! And this is Sune, she is shy. Are you shy? Your  
fur looks soft, is it soft? Can I feel? What is that thing in your ear?"

The nonstop flow of words made the stranger  
just stand there looking dumbfounded. As the stream of words continued he noticed  
his reflection in the water and jumped back again.

"I... I'm an eevee!"

"That's nice," Cory replied. "Why do you  
look scared? Do you scare easily? Why were you lying by the stream? Did  
something happen to you?"

 

"M... my name is Dash. I remember crossing a  
rope bridge... and falling into the river," he stopped as if realizing something.  
"How did I end up here?"

"I don't know. There isn't any rivers  
around here for miles. And I should know because I know this place like the  
back of my hand, I don't actually have hands, it's a figure of speech."

"His fur is wet."

They both turned to look at Sune. She  
seemed uncomfortable with the attention but continued.

"His fur is wet as if he'd been swimming  
but the stream is too small for that."

"I see," Cory mused. "It is just big enough  
to drink from. So if Dash's wet fur didn't come from the stream, where did it  
come from?"

"Probably from the same place that he is  
from. Remember that he said he fell into a river."

"Yes, that's right. Where are you from  
anyway, Dash?"

Dash turned his face away.

"I... I'm not sure. Are... are there any humans  
here?"

Sune and Cory froze.

"Humans? But they are just fairy tales,"  
Cory said.

Dash was about to say something when a loud  
roar echoed through the clearing and a large creature landed in front of them.  
It was covered in a brown carapace and stood on two legs, its arms ended in a  
pair of massive scythe like talons.

 

"It's a kabutops! Run!" yelled Dash and  
bolted into the forest. Sune and Cory close behind. But the kabutops was faster  
and blocked their way. Sune let lose an ember attack but the larger pokemon  
didn't even pay attention to it.

"That won't work!" Dash exclaimed. "It's a  
rock and water type. Fire moves are almost useless."

Kabutops fired a powerful stream of water  
and mud from its mouth, just barely missing Sune, but still knocking her to the  
ground. Dash dug his front paw into the ground and flung some dirt towards the  
threat. In mid-air it transformed into a cloud of sand and hit kabutops right  
in the face blinding it. It gave up a terrible shriek and began flailing with  
its deadly scythe like arms.

"You're a grass type! Use a grass move."  
Dash yelled at Cory.

Cory swung the big leaf on top of her head,  
sending a swarm of razor leafs at the kabutops who was knocked over and fell to  
the ground.

"Sune! Do you know roar?" Dash asked as he  
helped her up. She nodded and gave of a roar that seemed more appropriate to a  
much larger creature then the small vixen. It tore into the kabutops, who was  
struggling to its feet, and sent it flying into the forest. The three small  
pokemon left as fast as they could, just in case the danger wasn't over yet.

 

Much later the trio arrived at a village by  
a trio of mighty mountains. By that time they had left the forest behind and were  
now traveling through a rocky terrain with much thinner foliage.

"What was the deal with that guy anyway?"  
Cory asked as they entered the village, finally feeling safer now that they  
were in public.

"No idea," Dash replied. "Maybe he got  
angry because we entered his territory or something."

"So he wasn't chasing you?" Sune asked  
giving Dash a look that indicated she did not fully trust him. "A water gun  
blast would explain why you were soaked when we found you."

"Except kabutops can't learn water gun,"  
Dash countered. "The only water type attacks it can learn are aqua jet and in  
some cases bubble beam."

Sune became silent and looked ashamed.

"Wow! You know a lot about pokemon  
attacks!" Cory said.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but did I hear  
you mention a tussle with a kabutops?"

The three turned to face a huge archanine  
who had come up to them. He wore a nice green scarf around his neck that had  
some kind of symbol on it.

 

"Yes," Cory answered. "He was such a  
meanie. He just attacked us out of the blue and used a mud shot attack on Sune.  
But I hit him with my razor leafs so we could run away."

"I see," the archinine said and continued.  
"My name is Clint, I uphold the law in these parts, and that kabutops is a  
dangerous criminal that we have been after a long time. Can you tell me where  
and when it happened?"

After telling Clint everything they knew,  
which wasn't much really, he told them about the villainous kabutops.

"He's called Slitter and the reason he  
attacked you are probably because of your little vulpix friend. He likes fire  
types you see. I'll send a team to investigate the forest right away. Just be  
glad you all got away safely."

Sunes face became so pale that you could  
see it even through her fur.

"May I suggest that at least one of the  
pokemon in the team can use grass type attacks," Dash said as Clint turned to  
leave. "Fighting, electric and ground type moves should also be effective  
against him."

"I'll keep that in mind," Clint said and  
walked away.

 

Later they had rented a room in an inn and  
were making themselves comfortable. Cory had insisted to pay for Dash's board  
when she learned that he had no money.

"We are traveling to take part in the poke  
battle contest," Cory told Dash. "We have a long way to go but we have already  
become much stronger. Did you see how my razor leafs just blew that villain to  
his knees?"

"That was because grass type moves are  
super effective against him."

Cory winced a little at the remark. Not  
happy to admit that she was not as awesome as she had thought.

"Yes, but even if the damage was doubled it  
was still impressive that I managed to bring him to his knees in one shot."

"It wasn't doubled. He was a rock and water  
type, so the attack did four times normal damage," Dash explained and tried not  
to laugh as Cory's jaw hit the floor.

"Um... oh! Stay right here! I just have to go  
out for a while! Be right back!" she said and ran out of the room.

After she had left Dash tried to make some conversation  
with Sune but she just gave him short to the point answers that stopped any  
attempts to continue talking so he curled up in his bed to rest. After a while  
he heard Sune's voice.

 

"Dash... the reason you know so much about  
pokemon attacks... the reason you have that earring... you used to be owned by a  
human trainer, didn't you."

Dash sat up in a flash. Shock plain in his  
face. Sune stood by his bed. She looked as if she was about to start crying.

"He pierced your ear to mark you as his  
property and made you fight other pokemon didn't he?" she paused hesitantly. "I...  
I know this because I too used to belong to a human. They... they are really  
awful creatures aren't they!"

Dash didn't know what to say. Suddenly Cory  
rushed into the room and threw a bunch of papers on the table.

"Okay, Dash sign these."

Dash jumped out of his bed and went over to  
the table. The papers were full of strange writing that he could not read.

"What are these?"

"Registration forms. I'm registering you as  
our teams coach!"

"What!? Why?"

"Because with you as our coach we'll become  
super strong and win the tournament, silly! Just put a paw print here!"

Sune went over to Dash.

"Go ahead. Sign, it's not like you have  
anything better to do. Besides it would be fun to have another teammate."

 

Dash finally gave up and put a paw print on  
the papers. They were right. He didn't have anything better to do. And even if  
his memories were correct, and he really hoped they were, there was nothing he  
could do about it. He might as well stick with them for a while until he knew  
what to do.

After Cory had declared tonight "party  
night" they had stayed up late partying until they finally went to bed. Before  
Dash fell asleep he heard Sune's voice.

"Dash... sorry I accused you for causing that  
mess before. Good night."

That night he dreamt about a hyperactive  
Chikorita who wanted to win the prestigious poke battle championship and a shy  
vulpix who hated humans. He did not enjoy the later part.
