Pokémon Kalos Journey: VOL. 1

(I do not own Pokémon)

Chapter 1: The Boy And The Hawlucha

It was a big day in Aquacorde Town, where it is a town, part of the Kalos region of the Pokémon world. In the forest of Aquacorde Town, a boy was training with a Pokémon of his. His name is Yuki Muramoto. Yuki was an orphan who wished to become a best trainer in Kalos. His Pokémon friend was a Hawlucha, of who he met in the forest. The two of them were practicing combat for battles!

Yuki had dark brown hair, black eyes, and a bandaged nose. He wore black shorts, and a sleeveless gray shirt. He wore black fingerless gloves, and had a few muscles in his body. The two were panting heavily from the heavy training they did. "Huff... Huff... Alright, Hawlucha. I think that's enough for today." Yuki panted. Hawlucha shook his head and asked for more!

"Lucha! Haw!" Hawlucha cried. Yuki wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. "Want some more, huh? Okay, then!" Yuki smirked. With that, the two fought once again. "I can't remember the last time we fought and trained like this. It was about two years ago, when we met." Yuki thought.

Flashback

Young Yuki was walking in the forest. He was an eight year old who liked adventures, even if it wasn't very far. Just as he was walking, he heard a weak voice. "Haw..." The voice moaned. "Hm?" Yuki wondered. He walked to where he heard the voice, and gasped. A Pokémon that looked like bidepal, bird Pokémon like. Hawlucha had a mask like face, with wings as his arms.

Hawlucha was injured very badly, with bruises and cuts all over his body. "Oh no! Are you okay!?" Yuki gasped as he ran over to Hawlucha. Hawlucha weakly opened his eyes to see Yuki touching him! Hawlucha made a weak attempt to Attack Yuki with Karate Chop, but was too weak to do so.

"Please, it's okay. I'm not your enemy." Yuki pleaded. Hawlucha looked at Yuki's eyes, seeing that he could trust the boy a little. He let the boy hug him as Yuki picked Hawlucha up. "It's okay. I'll get you to the Pokémon Center! Nurse Joy will be able to help you!" Yuki assured.

With that, Yuki quickly ran for the Center, running to the front desk! "Nurse Joy! Please help!" Yuki cried. Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff ran over to check on Hawlucha. "What happened?" Nurse Joy asked. "I was exploring in the Aquacorde Forest, when I found Hawlucha here!" Yuki explained. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Nurse Joy placed the injured Hawlucha in the hospital cart and headed to the healing room!

Wigglytuff followed along. "I need you to stay out here and wait, okay?" Nurse Joy asked. "O-Okay..." Yuki agreed.

With that, Yuki waited outside of the medical room. "Who would hurt Hawlucha like that?" Yuki hiccuped. He was crying a little, saddened about of what happened to Hawlucha. It was a few hours later, until Nurse Joy came back out! "You can see Hawlucha again, now." Nurse Joy explained.

Yuki then ran inside the medical room, to check on Hawlucha. The Wrestling Pokémon was sleeping from the medicine it had. All the damage in his body was gone. Yuki quietly walked closer to Hawlucha and smiled. "I hope you feel better soon, Hawlucha..." Yuki whispered, rubbing Hawlucha's head soothingly.

Hawlucha seemed to have felt it, before it gave a small, relaxing smile and a sigh.

The next day, Yuki was walking back to the Pokémon Center to see Hawlucha. As the doors opened, something flew out of the doors and collided into Yuki! Yuki gave surprise yelp as he landed on the ground. He opened his eyes to see Hawlucha grinning, while pinning his arms down to the ground. "It's good to see you again, Hawlucha!" Yuki smirked happily.

"Lucha..." Hawlucha agreed, nodding. Nurse Joy came to see the reunion! "Hawlucha was waiting for you to come back. It must've wanted to thank you for rescuing him!" Nurse Joy smiled. Yuki then escaped Hawlucha's pinning and smiled at Hawlucha. "Well, I'm glad that you're okay, Hawlucha." Yuki chuckled as he rubbed Hawlucha's head with a smile.

Hawlucha nodded as it grinned back at Yuki!

Later, Hawlucha was dragging Yuki back to Aquacorde Forest, where he led the eight year old to a waterfall! "Whoa!... Is this where you train, Hawlucha?" Yuki asked, excited. Hawlucha nodded as it leapt onto the rocks, before landing on the rock that was on top of the waterfall!

Hawlucha took a deep breath and dove down! Hawlucha glowed with light! "That's Flying Press!" Yuki gasped. But, just as Hawlucha was finishing the move, Hawlucha stumbled and rammed into Yuki! "Aaahh!" Yuki yelled. The two groaned as they got up from the blow they had together. "Whoa... Flying Press would need some work, Hawlucha..." Yuki chuckled sheepishly.

He rubbed the back of his head, with Hawlucha doing the same. "Hawlucha?" Yuki asked. Hawlucha looked at Yuki in question. "If you'd like... Would it be okay if I train with you?" Yuki asked. Hawlucha grew surprised, but smiled as it gave a nod. "Thanks, Hawlucha!" Yuki thanked happily. So, with that, the two trained together for a year.

Yuki grew strong from the heavy training he and Hawlucha had. During the months, Hawlucha became Yuki's best friend and Yuki's first Pokémon! They defeated together wild Pokémon, even strong ones like a Mienshao, Machoke, and a Machamp! Their bond grew as two years had passed.

End Flashback

It was evening as the two panted, laying on the ground. The two were covered in bruises, and cuts. "Huff... Huff... That was pretty intense, wasn't it?" Yuki asked. "Haw..." Hawlucha agreed. Then, as in a surprise, Hawlucha tugged onto Yuki's arm, and pulled him close! "Hm?" Yuki asked, surprised. Then, all of a sudden, Hawlucha gave Yuki a warming hug!

Yuki grew surprised with this. Then, a few seconds later, he gave his best friend a hug back. "I'm glad that we met, buddy." Yuki assured. "Lucha..." Hawlucha assured back, feeling the same.

As the two parted from their hug, a call called to them! Yuki and Hawlucha turned to see a Fletchling coming to their way! "A Fletchling?" Yuki asked. The little Flying Type was carrying a letter with its two talons! It carried the letter to Yuki, as the ten year old accepted it. "Thanks, but what is it for?" Yuki asked.

Fletchling didn't answer, but gave a chirp and flew away! Yuki sweat dropped with this. He took a look at the letter and opened it! Hawlucha flew onto Yuki's head and looked at the letter, too! Yuki began to read the letter.

Yuki,

I heard about you and your Hawlucha from the citizens in Aquacorde Town. I am curious of what power you contain or how you bond with your Pokémon. As for that, I want you to come over to Lumiose City, where my research Lab would be. There's a task I wish to give to you.

From Professor Sycamore.

Yuki closed th letter and looked at Hawlucha. "Well, what do you think?" Yuki asked. Hawlucha gave a nod as in to head for their destination. "Okay then, let's go!" Yuki called. He put on his dark blue sweatshirt and put on his maroon sneakers. "To Lumiose City!" Yuki called. "Lucha!" Hawlucha called, imitating Yuki.

So, the two began to travel their way to Lumiose City. As they were walking, they heard some people talking! "Have you heard? The Santalune Gym Leader, Viola came back!" One person exclaimed. "Really!? I heard that her Bug Types are pretty strong!" Another person stated. "Only a few challengers have beaten her, while a lot lost to her!" The third person replied.

Yuki perked his head up and looked at his partner. "Shall we head to Santalune City first, then?" Yuki asked. "Haw!" Hawlucha agreed. With that, the two fighters ran their way to Santalune Forest!

It was quiet, excluding the noises of a few forest Pokémon. "Wow. It's peaceful here, isn't it?" Yuki asked. "Lucha." Hawlucha agreed, looking at the trees. Suddenly, a big Bug Type landed in their way! "What the!?" Yuki gasped. Hawlucha leapt in front of Yuki to protect him! "Hera!" The Pokémon screeched. "It's a Heracross!" Yuki exclaimed.

Heracross motioned the two to bring it on! "Looks like it wants a battle! Well then, shall we?" Yuki aske, smirking. Hawlucha gave a smirk back and nodded. Then, Yuki turned to the Bug-Fighting Type with a battle stance! "Alright then! If it's a battle that you want, it's a battle that you shall get!" Yuki smirked. Heracross made the first move with Brick Break!

"Dodge it, Hawlucha!" Yuki called. Hawlucha dodged the move, until Yuki called for an Aerial Ace! Hawlucha slashed Heracross with quick speed! "Now's your chance to use Karate Chop!" Yuki called. Hawlucha bashed Heracross with the Fighting Type move, to which Heracross countered with its horn glowing! "Megahorn! Hawlucha! Use Double Team!" Yuki shouted.

Hawlucha created clones of itself, confusing Heracross! "Time for the finishing touch! Hawlucha! Flying Press!" Yuki shouted. Hawlucha banished the clones and leapt high into the air! It dove down and smashed Heracross to the ground!

"Cross..." Heracross groaned. "Haw! Hawlucha!" Hawlucha called. Yuki knew what that meant. He had to throw his Pokéball at Heracross now! "Okay! Now's my chance! Go, Pokéball!" Yuki called. The ball opened and sucked the Single Horn Pokémon inside! The ball rattled multiple times before clicking, showing that Heracross has been captured!

"Alright! We've caught Heracross, Hawlucha!" Yuki cheered. "Hawlucha!" Hawlucha cheered along. With that, Yuki released Heracross to face him! "Heracross, I'm sorry if you didn't expect this, but... I hope we can get along in our journeys!" Yuki apologized. Heracross gave a nod, before leaping onto Yuki's head!

Both Hawlucha and Yuki grew surprised as Heracross began sucking on Yuki's head! "H-Hey! Cut it out, Heracross!" Yuki laughed. Heracross stopped sucking and jumped around happily. Yuki shook his head with the Single Horn Pokémon's silliness. He returned the Bug Type back to the Pokéball.

"Hey! You a trainer?" A kid called out. Yuki turned to see a youngster pointing to him! "Yes, I am." Yuki answered. "Great! Then, let's battle!" The boy cried out as he took out a Pokéball. "Go, Linoone!" The boy called. Linoone appeared from its Pokéball and faced Hawlucha! "Ready, Hawlucha?" Yuki asked. The Wrestling Pokémon nodded and ran to face the evolved Normal Type!

"Let's go, then! Linoone, use Take Down!" The youngster called.

Youngster: Linoone + 1 VS Yuki: Hawlucha + 1

"Dodge, Hawlucha! Then, use Karate Chop!" Yuki shouted. Hawlucha rapidly dodged the Take Down and bashed his winged arm on Linoone! Linoone yelped in pain as it was skidded back to its trainer! "Don't quit, Linoone! Use Iron Tail!" The youngster called. Linoone charged and aimed Iron Tail at Hawlucha!

"Don't count on it! Hawlucha! Intercept with Aerial Ace!" Yuki shouted. Hawlucha dodged the Steel Type move and slashed Linoone, sending it once again to the ground! "Now, Hawlucha! Use Flying Press!" Yuki called. The move shocked the youngster. "Flying Press!? That's not good! Linoone, dodge it, quick!" The youngster called.

Linoone made an attempt to dodge, but Hawlucha's speed caught up with it, and the Rushing Pokémon was smashed to the ground! Linoone fainted! "Oh no! Linoone!" The youngster gasped.

Youngster: 1 Pokémon

The boy returned Linoone to his Pokéball and sighed. "You got lucky on that! Here it comes! Go! Fletchinder!" The youngster called. The flying Pokémon appeared, only that it was bigger than Fletchling, though it had the same description! Hawlucha got ready for this, but Yuki stopped him. "Wait, Hawlucha. I want to give our new friend a try." Yuki called.

Hawlucha turned and nodded, running back to his side. "Let's go, Heracross!" Yuki called. The Single Horn Pokémon appeared, ready to face Fletchinder. The youngster laughed at this! "Ha ha ha! You're kidding, right?! Heracross has a three type disadvantage against a Fire and Flying Type like Fletchinder!" The boy laughed.

Yuki glared at the boy with a sharp glare. "Don't insult a Pokémon, just because of the type advantage. Also, how do you know that your Fletchinder is going to win? You won't know until you battle!" Yuki snapped.

The youngster grew silent as he shuddered with the glare. Heracross gave Yuki a thanking look! "Let's go. Heracross! Swords Dance!" Yuki called. Swords clashed around Heracross, giving it an Attack boost! "We won't let you! Fletchinder! Steel Wing!" The boy shouted. Fletchinder charged at Heracross with metal wings!

"Dodge, then use Swords Dance again!" Yuki called. Heracross narrowly dodged Steel Wing, and raised his Attack power again! "Now, Fletchinder! Use Flame Charge!" The boy yelled. "Flame Charge? That Attack can increase the speed of the user! I'll have to be careful!" Yuki thought. "Heracross! Swords Dance, once more!" Yuki shouted.

Heracross dodged Flame Charge and gained more Attack strength again! "Tch! Hold still, will you!? Now, Brave Bird!" The boy yelled. "Heracross, Megahorn!" Yuki shouted. Both Pokémon charged with their powerful attacks, colliding with each other! An explosion was made, causing both trainers and Hawlucha to cover their eyes for protection!

The smoke cleared, revealed that Fletchinder fainted! Heracross was barely standing, panting. "Wh-What!? No way! I lost!?" The youngster wailed. Yuki and Hawlucha ran over to Heracross, who smiled at them! "Thank you, Heracross. You did great in that battle. We're proud of you!" Yuki explained. "Lucha..." Hawlucha agreed, putting his hand onto Heracross' shoulder.

Yuki: Winner!

"No way! No way! I actually lost!? Argh! You just got lucky, that's all! I'll be back someday!" The boy snapped as he ran away. "Come back anytime." Yuki muttered, to which Hawlucha and Heracross snickered to this.

Later, Yuki trained with Hawlucha again, this time, with Heracross joining in the training! After that, the three were bruised once again, exhausted by the battling and the intense training. "Well, guys. I'm sure that this is enough for today! We'll be getting our first Kalos Badge for sure!" Yuki assured. Both Fighting Types agreed.

With that, Yuki returned Heracross to his Pokéball, and walked with Hawlucha out of the forest! They were close to Santalune City now. "Well, partner. We're almost there. To Santalune City." Yuki replied. "Lucha." Hawlucha agreed.
