The Absol's Curse, Chapter 1

Hey guys, writing another one. Now, I know that my second story, Rag Doll, isn't finished yet. However, I thought it was a good idea to work on this one too, since I want to use it and it gives me something to do when I begin to lose interest in writing Rag Doll, or my inspirational pool dries up. It's not necessarily going to be a romance story, but it might have a romantic interest. I'm not sure just yet. So, I will begin this story, and I hope it will grab the attention of viewers.

A Burning Hatred

She stared at the burning town, her disgust burning stronger than these flames, or any of the other flames she had seen before.

"Humans are disgusting, pathetic, idiotic creatures" she thought with contempt.

Her name is Leera, and she is an Absol that despises humans. In all other aspects, she was a creature of beauty, with perfectly snow white fur, glistening red eyes, and her blades, on her head and tail, were always kept in pristine condition. She was quite a marvel in the eyes of the male Absol, and even a few other Dark types. But to the humans, she meant nothing but death and disaster.

"When will these pathetic humans realize that we don't bring on the disasters, they do it to themselves?!"

Indeed, she had seen many cases of this. There was a dam a few years back that the humans hadn't properly maintained, so it broke and flooded their little town. Then the avalanche that was caused by their constant digging into the mountain. It was true, she couldn't blame them for the disasters that were out of their reach; earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and tornadoes. But where did they get the idea that she was the cause of it? She was no legendary; those kinds of powers were far out of her reach.

Nevertheless, wherever she went, the hunters followed. When would they get it through their thick skulls that she was trying to help them? In the beginning, she had tried to help them, and then would cringe when she was shouted at, pointed to in hatred. She also remembered the jeers. Oh, how she hated the jeers.

After watching the flames burn themselves out, she stood and left, having had enough. If it wasn't for the fact that she had to warn the humans about impending doom, she would have stopped trying long ago. She was almost sadistic one time; she nearly didn't bother trying to warn the humans about the typhoon that would lay waste to their homes. But alas, her sense of duty was too strong. She turned her head away and scoffed. The result had been the same as every other time before it struck; the humans didn't heed her warning, and they perished, all of them.

Biased, nasty creatures were they, and the ones who caught them were probably worse. Although, she had heard about some Absol who found kind, loving trainers. Maybe that would work for her, too?

In the midst of all her thinking, Leera hadn't noticed that she practically walked straight into a trainer himself. This came as a shock to her; normally she was so vigilant.

"Guess that fire had me more upset than I realized" she speculated to herself.

"Whoa, what's that?" the human asked the air. He brought out a small, rectangular item and directed it at Leera, whereupon it said

"Absol, the Disaster Pokemon. It has the ability to foretell natural disasters. Its life span is over a hundred years. Known moves; Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Perish Song, and Sucker Punch."

Leera didn't know what all that meant, but she was gratified to hear that she could foretell natural disasters, not cause them. But that gratification faded away when the trainer put away the little device and brought out something else that was red, but it was round and was half white, too. He threw it up in the air, and with a flash of bright white light, a Ledian hovered above the ground. The human shouted out

"Alright, Scrap, we want to capture that Absol, so pull back your attacks just a bit, okay?"

The Ledian nodded to its trainer, then turned to face the Absol. That was kind of insulting. Did this human believe she couldn't stand an attack from this glorified ladybug? Please; she had been battling before he was even in diapers. Sensing an attack forming, she quickly used Sucker Punch and scored a direct hit. Then she began to charge up a Night Slash, but before she could execute it, an annoying buzzing noise filled the air, ruining her concentration and pushing her back a few steps.

Starting to get irritated now, she used Perish Song. It was a bit risky since it knocked her out too, but she was tired of looking at this human and wanted out of here already. Maybe the Perish Song would drive him away.

It didn't quite work that way. The trainer called back his Ledian and sent out a Haunter instead, which she thought was stupid, until it used Curse. Leera could feel her health dropping at an alarming rate, and her Sucker Punches weren't connecting. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she could see another red-and-white ball flying out, but at her!

She felt a bump on the head, then experienced the disorienting feeling of being shrunk down incredibly fast. The next thing she knew, she was in a small but sort of cozy enclosed space. It was odd, but it felt…nice, in a way. Out of nowhere, she heard a massive click and dread coursed through her. It couldn't be, it wasn't possible…had she been captured?!

Then a massive light appeared, and she felt a large growing sensation, and she was out in the forest, but not the forest she knew. This land was different, the trees were taller, and the air smelled cleaner, free from the smoky smell she had recently become reacquainted with. Turning, she saw the trainer she assumed had caught her, and apprehension filled her mind. He stared at her for about a minute, then said

"Hello, Absol. My name is Jeremy. I am your new trainer." She just stared at him for a few seconds, then asked

"What if I don't want a trainer?" Of course, she was a pokemon and he was a human, so all he heard was

"Ab sol sol Absol?" He grinned, then replied

"I can't understand you, you know. I wish I could, but I don't have enough money to get one of those pokespeak translators, at least not yet. And that's where you come in." Leera stared at him suspiciously, wondering what he could be talking about.

"We're going to travel all over the Kanto region and defeat many trainers, battle gym leaders, and eventually take on the Elite Four and the champion. We should be rolling in money by the time we're finished. If we play our cards right. What do you say?" Leera thought for a minute, then shrugged, knowing she didn't have a choice in the matter.

"All right then, it's settled. We're taking on the Kanto League!" Jeremy put Leera back into her ball, then set out to heal her at a pokemon center.

Okay, that's the first chapter of a new story. This is a revised version since I noticed a few errors in the way I had this story planned out. I plan on working future chapters, so now you may eagerly wait for more!
