!Hola! ?Que tal? Yo estoy muy mal... Is my Spanish okay? Alright, so I just wrote this fic out of nowhere to kill time(like I always do) and...ta-da! EET EEES HEEEREE :D

So...What the summary said. Not really a shipping story, but it WILL have eventual Ikarishipping. Shinji is a little OOC in the first chapter, but I promise he will be more in character next chapter...if there is a next chapter...

Next chap or no chap, I'm leaving it at your choice. Which means you must review... OR ELSE!!

I do not own Pokemon and plz enjoy

"No."

"Come on, bro. PLEASE??"

"You'd only get hurt."

"I won't!"

Reiji was getting ready to leave Veilstone, and along the way he would try to go into Sendoff Spring…The dark place his mother had told him so many stories about…and the evil monster living there. Now that he was a trainer, with his Pokemon by his side, he was going to find out whether it was all fairytales or not.

…But there was a…small problem.

"REIJI!! I REEEEAALLY WANNA COME!!" His three-year-old brother, Shinji, clung to his leg, begging his bigger brother to tag along. He'd been at this all morning. The first born wanted to leave quietly without telling him, because he knew that the infant would react this way, but apparently he had found out on his own. Maybe he shouldn't have been talking to himself that loudly…

"Shinji, sweetie," Reiji bent down and stroked the little boy's lavender hair, which calmed him down. "You know it's too dangerous for a little child like you…"

"But I'm NOT a child!!" Shinji cried out, stamping his foot and scowling simultaneously. "I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I'M NOT!!"

Reiji looked around in dismay for something that would keep him quiet, but there was nothing. The people outside the house were beginning to look confused as they heard Shinji's tantrum. Although he wasn't crying, Shinji was making a hell of a noise,and Reiji was becoming quite deaf.

"If you weren't a child, you would be mature and stop screaming, plus accept your elder's decisions." Reiji bent down and straightened out the boy's crumpled jacket. Shinji slapped his hand away, grunting.

"But pleasy pleasy please can I come with you?" Shinji's black eyes were wide and pleading. "I promise I won't get in your way! I really want to see the monster!"

Reiji frowned. This was getting annoying.

"No!" His voice remained gentle, but he had to be firm. "I don't worry about whether I'll succeed or fail; I'm just scared for the safety of my only brother!" He put both hands on Shinji's shoulders.

"Fine!" The other boy snapped, and he turned his head and bit one of Reiji's arms. As the teen flinched, Shinji looked across his shoulder and glared at him. "I'll just go myself when I get older, and I'll get stronger and then we'll see who's in danger!" Shinji stomped to his room, pouting and looking quite miserable.

Reiji couldn't help but laugh.

"This is the entrance to Sendoff Spring," Reiji whispered to himself, looking forward into a foggy passage in the trees. "The Spring Path."

"They say to look out for Pokemon, because they're stronger than any other wild ones in the Sinnoh Region." He reached for his Luxray's Pokeball, and tossed it into the air.

"Luxray; I choose you!!" A red beam shot out of the green-striped-red ball and materialized into a dark blue canine with a four-fingered star on its tail. The Electric Pokemon let out a roar as it glared around with red eyes.

"Luxray, keep an eye through the fo-" The ten-year old broke off, seeing that Luxray's attention was elsewhere. It was staring intensely at a clump of bushes behind them.

"What's wrong, buddy? Is there a Pokemon hiding there?" He asked it, seeing its eyes burning gold.

The shrubs rustled. Reiji ignored the fear rising inside him as he took a step closer. Then he sighed as he saw a gap in the branches, revealing a bit of dark blue and black, and at the top a dark shade of lilac.

"Shinji, I saw you. C'mon out!" he called angrily, and wasn't surprised when a familiar figure poked his head out and stepped toward him. A baby Turtwig trailed behind him.

"Shinji! I told you to stay home! It's too dangerous out here!" He wondered if the stubborn boy was even listening to him; his chest was puffed out proudly, and he was smirking.

"I followed you all the way here, and you didn't suspect a thing! And I didn't get into any trouble at all! This trainer stuff is easy!"

"That's nothing to be proud of!" Reiji snapped, catching Shinji totally off guard with his fierce voice. The little boy fell back, whimpering. "And where on earth did you get a Turtwig?!" he asked in shock, recognizing the Pokemon next to him. The Grass Starter was growling at Reiji.

"I borrowed it."

"You borrowed it? You mean you stole it."

"No, I didn't!" The infant spat coldly. "This tall fancy lab man came to Veilstone to see Sumomo's uncle, and he saw me going outside. His name was Prof. Rowy or Rolan or some thingy. And then he started giving me this speech 'bout dangerous Pokemon in the grass like I was stupid! But then he said he knew how I much wanted to go outside, so he let me borrow his Turtwig!" Turtwig ran up and bit Shinji's purple head affectionately. "See? She likes me!"

Reiji sighed. "But at least Prof. Rowan's got the right idea! This is too much... Come on, I'm dropping you off by the Lake Valor Hotel. And I'll ask Wake to take care of you."

"No way!" Shinji crossed his arms and glared up at him. "Crasher Wake smells like sweat and fish! And last time we saw him he pinched my cheeks way too hard! Nuh-uh!"

"Then you'd better go home!"

"I'm not doing that either!" His voice trailed off. "Julia and Al hate me."

"You mean Mom and Dad."

"Mom and Dad? As if!" He bared his teeth like an animal in sudden anger. "Our real parents died! They're just phonies and the government gave us to them as little gifts. They'll never be our parents, foster or not, and they're not the boss of me!"

"But they still care for us."

Shinji looked down at the ground sullenly. "But Al hates me. He beat me for sneezing on the TV remote and he called me useless. He even…" his voice rose in panic, "he called me a freak for having purple hair and black eyes, and threw a cup at Hikari and Nozomi when they came to visit! And you're just like him! Always thinking I'm useless and too pathetic to look after myself!"

He couldn't take it anymore and began to cry.

Here Reiji's rage ended. He picked up a tearful Shinji and put him to ride on his shoulders. It was too late for them to go back- it was getting dark, and his Staraptor couldn't see in the dark. He also needed his Luxray for the quest, and couldn't risk an escort.

"W-Wait. We're going?"

"Yup. You sure cause me a lot of stress, little bro."

He sighed, and smiled up at his little brother. He looked down at the Tiny Leaf turtle by his heels. Luxra was on its feet, leading the way.

"Ready? Then let's go."

Sorry about Shinji being OOC. You see, I always thought three year olds were noisy crybabies. Forgive me.

How was it? Please review!
