Chapter 1: The icy passage to Shimo. The winds of the valley had sprawled out of bed, sipping back on that morning cup of coffee and taking a turn for the worse as the pair pushed their way up the steep hillside. Slipping in the shifting snow seemed like it was inevitable, but somehow they’d both managed to keep themselves upright throughout the entire feat. The winds where stronger and colder, sending a small shiver down the boys spine as he swiped at his fringe, pulling it out of his eyes. It was nothing he wasn’t used to; growing up in the valleys surrounding the city it was always cold, on top of which he’d managed to survive one of the harshest winters without his parents, even if he did have some help. Cold weather was a part of him as much as it was a part of Shimo and the terrain surrounding. He was atoned, though it wasn’t his body but his mind, see, he could feel the cold, he just shrugged it off and continued onwards as if he couldn’t. ‘Every damn day,’ he sighed as his eyes glanced across the sky, shaking his head back and forth in pure disappointment. The menacing clouds had slowly crept their way in, covering it in the all too familiar darkness that ran rampant as far as his eyes could see. Lunar hadn’t even noticed the change in weather, standing next to her trainer at the top of the hill; her focus was solely on the city hidden in the ice and snow that was finally in view. She had stayed by his side the entire trip, matching him step for step as they slowly made their way down the icy path that lead to Shimo. Both often glancing off in to the darkness that surrounded in hope that they’d run across some form of shady activity that they could take care of amidst the snow and wildlife but it seemed like nothing was happening. ‘It won’t be long girl, we’ll find something,’ he whispered to his canine campanion, though she wasn’t the only one that the boy was trying to reassure, he had his own doubts and thoughts, and so far things were looking as if they were going to be a bore. As they reached the outskirt of town, Corey turned his attention to a large noticeboard that hung on a building to his right; just a bunch of pinned down notes and papers but one in particular had taken his attention from the get go. Some sort of region wide festival giveaway was taking place, and since he had nothing he decided to try his luck. There was only one catch, the gifts where secret and chosen by other trainers, but he figured that free stuff was free stuff no matter what he got. He typed in his required trainer details and sent them off to the number listed at the bottom of the promotion before heading around the outskirts of town in search for thugs and mugs. It didn’t take too long before the two had ran in to a pair of Pokemon, lurking on the outskirts of town as they turned the corner. The two stood together like a pair of icicles stuck on spot, one grasping the others arm as if it was hanging on for its dear life. They somewhat reminded him of the snow-capped trees of his valley home, only smaller, rounded, and alive. I guess you could say they kind of looked like pineapples, too, though they probably weren’t as tasty. He looked down at Houndour with a grin, without having to say a single word she nodded back at him, it was like she knew exactly what he was about to say before he said it; and she did. Corey was ready for a battle, and so was she. ‘Alright girl,’ He smirked across at the two Pokemon, ‘I want you to use three embers on the smaller one. If you manage to knock it out with one or two then use the third on the bigger one. Let’s see how well we can shape up against two Pokemon.’ Lunar nodded, leaping in to action almost immediately, it didn’t take a genius to see the Pokemon was more than keen on her first battle. |

Corey stood amongst the falling powder silently; his body slumped in disappointment as the steaming flames spewed and rippled from Lunar’s mouth. He reached for his hood, slowly pulling it over his face to mask his disgust. The battle was going way too easy, and even though he had no qualms with victory he had hoped for a little bit more of a challenge from the brothers. He knew from the initial Poketech reading that he had the type advantage but figured the number and level odds would give them a level playing field, it was clear to him now that he was wrong. That was the curse of type advantage, his first Pokemon battle and he’d already learned an invaluable lesson –even in victory-, to have a broad scope of abilities and types in his team, otherwise he’d sooner or later suffer an ill-fate similar to that of his foes. A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own. His blank expression faded to a sinister grin as the first of the two fell, though it was hidden beyond the darkness that’d fallen over his face. Even though it was a quick and almost effortless knockout, triumphing over his foe had still managed to bring him a twisted joy and satisfaction that overcame his disgust in their weakness, reinforcing his first lesson of battle. Lunar was taking each hit without a flinch nor cry, clearly defining her superiority over the two stronger, yet significantly weaker Pokemon as she unleashed the last of her attacks without hesitation; The red flames enveloping the remaining brother much like the first. To no surprise big brother bill was still standing; it’d taken two attacks to take care of the weaker brother so it was obvious that one wouldn’t finish him, the inevitable was to be dragged out for one more turn. ‘Thank you for the battle,’ Corey’s voice was clear with his disappointment in his opponent, ‘you thought as well as you could, I suppose.’ Lunar stood proud, staring down her opponent as she awaited her next and likely final orders. Her glare was crippling almost, though the front was only for intimidation… as unnecessary as it was; the brothers had been trembling in their boots before the battle had even begun. ‘Are you ready?’ she barked, reinforcing her presence on field. ‘Alright Lunar, finish this with one more ember, two if that’s what it takes. Let’s end this battle now,’ he said, brushing off a piece of snow that had made home on his shoulder, ‘It’d be torture to drag this out any longer, besides, we’ve got to get to the Pokecenter then go Sneasel hunting.’ |

The roar of battle had quickly faded; the two brothers now motionless as the snow smouldered beneath their charred bodies, side by side still, even in their unconsciousness. Corey sighed in protest pulling down the dark hood that had concealed him, goose bumps crawling across his skin as he scowled at his now, former, opponents; he’d still hoped for more, even though he knew he wasn’t going to get it. Lunar stood proud in her victory however, the last of the embers slowly flickering away in to nothingness, her jagged teeth vanishing with them as she returned to her unblooded brother’s side. Any vestige of disappointment faded as Corey kneeled, firmly running his hand down Lunar’s back. The worn, tattered overcoat dragged through the snow as he returned to his feet and began to move forward, spurring his companion to follow, "let’s go, Lunar," was all he needed to say, not even the smallest mention of the battle was made. Their relationship stretched much further than words; Lunar knew he was proud of her, any reinforcement of the fact would have been unnecessary to the both of them and expressing himself with words was a rare occurrence. Corey was completely unfamiliar with Shimo, following street after street to no avail as he searched tediously for the all illusive Pokecenter. It was like he was going in circles for what seemed like hours, however it’d barely been a quarter of one until Lunar vanished from his sight, looming out of the shadows of an alley that he’d passed without consideration and beckoning him with a series of howls then disappearing once again in the darkness, He continued in silence, stepping around and over the scattered trash cans and bags as he followed Lunar through the alley. Gagging on the air as he moved his scarred hand over his nose and mouth to try and shake the overwhelming odour that was quickly becoming unbearable, but it was almost pointless. The only thing that pushed him forward was the fact that the center was in sight and Lunar was already waiting at the other side. "Next time take me around," he sighed, taking in a deep breath of the fresh air as he stepped towards the sliding doors of the center, "now let’s get you healed up," he said, returning houndour to its’ ball and stepping inside. The cold slowly ebbed as the doors slid shut and he stepped closer to the counter, handing the ball over to the always lovely nurse and receiving it once she was finished with the mundane task of healing it. Lunar was once again by his side as they crossed the tiled floors, though they were both brought to a halt as they listened in to a conversation between two young trainers on the other side of the center. **"Are you sure?" "That's what I've heard... they say pokémon have been disappearing over on the west side of town - wild and trainer owned alike... there's been tell of three punks making off with sacks in the dead of night. God only knows what they're doing..." "It's scary... I'm keeping my pokémon nearby at all times in that case... why haven't the police stopped them?" "They haven't been able to find any sign of them..."** Corey looked down at Lunar wearing a large grin and in an instant both of them knew exactly where they were going next, sprinting out of the center side by side like they were the leaders of the pack in high school race. Corey pulled his hood back on midstride as they both headed towards the west of Shimo in search of this Pokemon thief and his sack of stolen trinkets. |
