Dylan is walking with Mawile, his mawile likes walking with him as she is really attached to Dylan.... he woke up and his mother was in the kitchen cooking he sat down and at his food. His mom told him that before his father passed he left him with a pokeball to catch his first pokemon with, now he went to the pokemon professor no pokemon caught his interest. So he decided to go on his journey and find a pokemon he truly felt a bond with as he navigated the regions he ran from danger and was in some very dangerous positions but Dylan loved it for some reason he was natural when it came to athleticism almost as if all his life he was running and training.
flashback:
One day Dylan came across Mawile laying by a tree as he was in the trees laying down a Loudred came by and its sonic voice startled mawile as she bite throw a portion of the tree causing Dylan to fall out. Dylan saw that Mawile was upset and yelled at Loudred and loudred was laughing cause of its large size compared to the Mawile and the two began to battle with Mawile dominating the battle to the point that Loudred got extremely mad to the point it evolved into Exploud... and the tables turned like that but Mawile wouldn't give up and stood up after every hyper voice or hammer arm... and Mawile stuck it out and used stockpile enough times that when it used spit up at the right time and it hit exploud in its leg causing it to blast the ground with a hyper beam causing it to blast itself away.
Mawile was hurt....Dylan saw the whole thing...he was a serious guy and for a mawile to impress him with a battle against a fully evolved pokemon.
He stood up..."you did amazing... i need a pokemon like you... come with me" he says using a potion on the pokemon.
Mawile was shocked at the kindness and Dylan healed her and began to walk off but Mawile followed.... "If you want to be my pokemon it won't be easy... i am looking for specific quality in my pokemon... you have it but our journey won't be easy" he says
Mawile seemed unafraid "Mawile...MAWWILLLEE" she chimed
Dylan smiled and turned around to walk away and Mawile was stunned thinking she didn't convince the trainer to take her along.
Dylan threw a pokeball over his shoulder and Mawile jumped in for joy at the ball.. and they been together since
Dylan was now walking with Mawile she regularly stayed out her pokeball but Banette on the other hand hated being out in the sun. He see's a pretty girl with a Croconaw battling and she won.
He pulls out his hi-tech binoculars as it zooms in since he is examining Croconaw....."Powerful build...(he then notices Davis) ...hmmm whats the battle king doing here...should we challenge him Mawile" he asked.
"MAWIIILE..MAW" she repeats....
Dylan shrugs "Yea your right ... nows not the time.. we got a job to do.. Terminus Cave is right there". he says walking over in its direction a short distance away
Adam is walking to Terminus cave with monfernape by his side. He seems to be n a good mood as he is smilling as monfernape leaps through the trees. Adam is looking upwards towards the trees and not paying attention to where he's going, he accedently walks into Dylan. "Ohh... Sorry, I should really watch where I'm going." He says helping up the stranger. He smile, "where are my manors, my name is Adam, and you are.
Dylan entered the cave and it was dark. "Damn darker then i thought...Banette come out" he says throwing out the pokeball and let Banette lead the way since it was use to the dark. "Bannnnnette" he says in joy as he is happy to be in dark environment.
Dylan liked Banette's quirky nature but sometimes Banette was a little too quirky. Banette kept fading in and out enjoying the scenery
"Come on Banette we are here for research... come on lead the way" he says as Banette looks at Dylan and leads them deeper into the cave.
As they were walking they saw a few lights set up... and Dylan came across a miner.
[miner]: "Hey kid your not supposed to be here..." he says throwing out a donphan
Mawile gets in front of Dylan defensively.... but Dylan looks at the pokemon so she stands down. "Im not looking for trouble just trying to do some research in these caves i am a studying scientist..."
The miner is not backing down: "I said get out of here a private company is funding this...DONPHAN ROLLOUT"
As the pokemon comes at Dylan he sneers...."Banette shadowball" he commanded as Banette's shadowball diverted Donphan.
[Miner]: "So kid you can battle as well so lets make this a real battle...im Mikey"[b] he says with a rural accent
Dylan smiles...[b]"Dylan Mercury... lets win this Banette"[b] he says
[Mikey]: [b]"you think you have a type advantage...Donphan FIRE FANG" he says as Donphan mouth erupts in flames as it bites down on Banette... which surprises Dylan a little as Banette falls to the ground ...and Mikey capitalizes while Dylan is a little frozen. "Now Donphan ThunderFang" he orders now Donphan's mouth is crackling with electricity as it charges at Banette.
Dylan now focuses..."That's it Banette use will--o-wisp" he commands as Banette swirls ghostly flames around its body but it takes damage from the thunder fang and Donphan is burned....Banette took heavy damage
Mikey see's that Donhpan is burned..."You think donphan can't handle a little burn things don't look too good for your banette... one more time .. donphan ROLLOUT" he orders.
Dylan smirks..."Your sure that Donphan can handle a little burn ...Banette use HEX" he commands as Donphan is rolling towards Banette, Banette's eyes glow and a black energy envelops donphan causing major damage causing donphan to faint.
Mikey is shocked...[Mikey]: " Oh no Donphan...ahhh you win fair and square thought you were some smug scientist" He says handing over a pokeball, and some money. "Be careful kid there are more trainers in this mine... a rich guy hired us and this cave isn't supposed to be disturbed... good luck kid" he says allowing Dylan to pass
Dylan kept pushing forward in the cave he pulled out his journal and began documenting and drawing what he saw.
He had battled two more trainers and won but even with his potions were being used up fast. He came across something that surprised him a premature under water lake which shouldn't have been present in this type of cave.
As he was taking notes and examined the lake he heard a loud roar and turned to see a rampaging Lairon. Luckily he dove out the way but it turned to charge again...."LAIIIRON" it bellows.
Pokemon were watching....they thought that Dylan was another intruder....Mawile and banette stepped in front of Dylan trying to talk sense into the lairon but it was about to ram mawile.
"MAWILE BANETTE RETURN" he quickly called out returning them...some of the pokemon were shocked that he did that. Some may have heard what mawile and banette said because lairon got close and a wild noibat used screech....confusing the lairon as it bucked up ready to stomp down on Dylan but then pressurized bubbles hit lairon caused it to fall back.....it was a froakie...that had assisted him.....
The two pokemon stood in front of him the other noibat just watched
Joseph got up quickly and apologized to the people who had ran into him, his torchic dizzy from the fall. He ran off out of town to the nearest forest to continue his journey. As he wandered around he came across a cave that looked promising. "I know that there will probably be a lot of rock types in here, but we can handle them right?" he asked Torchic. She gave a reassuring chirp. They entered the cave, not knowing what would be inside. "Hey you!" a voice rang out from inside the cave. It was a miner with an angry look on his face. "Get out of here kid, this is private property!" he said as he threw a poke ball, out popped a Machop, "MAAAACHOP!" it screamed as it punched the ground with great force. Joe responded quickly, throwing out Braixen, "Braixen, use Psybeam!" She gracefully responded to her masters command, a powerful psybeam launched forth, but Machop dodged, "Machop! use Hi Jump Kick!"
Machop jumped into the air, its leg glowing, ready to strike. "Now's your chance! Braixen, use dig!" She dug under the hard rock, just as Machop hit the ground hard, receiving harsh damage. "Now use psybeam one more time!" another powerful psybeam launched from underneath the ground, hitting the Machop hard causing it to faint. "Machop, return.." the miner said, "Okay you can go deeping into the cave, but be careful!" he said, handing some money and a pokeball to Joseph. "I will try my best, return Braixen," he said and continued deeper into the cave.
After some battling and random encounters, he heard a loud yell deep in the tunnel, "LAAAAIIIIIROOON". "That doesn't sound too good" Joseph said, running in that direction.
As he reached the area, he saw what was going on, a young man being cornered by a tough Lairon. Joseph sent out Charmeleon, "Charmeleon, use Fire Fang!" A raging fire grew in the lizards mouth as it bit down on the Lairon, being steel type it was weak to fire attacks. The Lairon was now enraged, as is charged Charmeleon, "Dodge it and use ember!" Joseph said, and his Charmeleon followed exactly to the letter, causing the Lairon to get burned and run away.
"That was freaky," Joseph said, looking down at the young trainer.
If you keep on failing at everything you do, don't view yourself as a failure. For you succeed at failing. So to succeed, one must fail at failure!
Dylan was surprised to see another trainer had entered the cave..."Thankyou...(he said to joseph then turning to froakie and Noibat) you two defended me thankyou"
Dylan walked up to Joseph...it wasn't easy for him but he needed his help..."My...pokemon are damaged and im out of potions, i don't think i can escape this cave like this...im Dylan Mercury and hoping i could tag along with you at least till i get out of here" he says walking up a little but Noibat and Froakie walked up behind him.
"Froakie...Fro" the pokemon says
"Noiiii" he says
Dylan looks at them assuming they heard that he has no pokemon to defend himself and seeing that he wasn't like the miners or what every corp was behind this excavation of their cave destroying their habitat. "Guess i was wrong... you two are welcome to come with me... i appreciate the help you two" he says as the two pokemon tag along....
Dylan was especially curious as to what a froakie was doing in a habitat like this
