Story Notes:
I've been a writer for a long time, and this was my first fiction I've published since I decided to stop lurking in the world of furries. I got the idea from some Dungeons & Dragons games I've played with friends, trying to establish some Pokemon rules for it. I had a neato character idea once, and I adapted him into Draco.

Pokemon Fan Fic

FIC BACK STORY: This fic takes place 50 years after the events you've seen in the anime and video games. Long ago, the world consisted of 3 Continents: Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. The Orange Islands and Whirl Islands were also there, though they were considered part of the Kanto and Johto Continents, respectively. Many trainers fought amongst other trainers in their home continents, some even going as far as their Elite Four group. Then, new species of Pokemon began surfacing in certain continents, and travellers going to each place began to bring back their new companions. As the awareness of so many new species spread, so did the need to travel and have new experiences. Over time, the 3 Continents became very attuned to each other, and idea of the universal Elite Four came to light. One single Elite Four was created, and it was made-up of the finest trainers to ever come out of any of the Continents: The first four were the infamous Bruno, Sabrina, Lance, and Steven. Only those who could conquer the separate Elite Four groups in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn could earn the right to fight there. The first ever trainer to do so and win was named Ash Ketchum. He accomplished it at the age of 25, fifteen years after he became a trainer, and was crowned the first ever Pokemon Master. 35 years has since passed. Ash has retired from Pokemon battling. And though the many Gym Leaders and 4 Elite Four groups have changed members many times, to this day, no one has been able to reach Ash's height as the Champion of the World's Elitest Four.
CHARACTER BACK STORY: You'll find out more of the main character & overall plotlines in later chapters. (That is if you're good with jigsaw puzzles.) Just know that Draco is the main character of the fic, and that's only his nickname. (And an unoriginal one at that. >_>) BTW, I own pretty much any character that I mention in these fics. (Except for the obvious ones) Basically, if there's a name you don't recognize as a character from the Pokemon anime/games, they're most likely characters I made up. (Or they may share a name with an anime character unintentionally or otherwise. Whatever. 50 years have passed, I gotta change things around. X_X)
"Well. It appears you're all set, um, Mr...." Nurse Joy says, querying toward the trainer's name.
The man raises his hands up to the counter as be begins grabbing his Pokeballs. Black studded gloves are on his hands, with the fingers cut out. He wears a generic dark gray shirt & carpenter pants. He also wears a long black trenchcoat that extends to about his ankles. The collar of the trenchcoat is a high one, extending up toward his ears. He has red-orange hair, long and clumped, that drapes around his head over the trenchcoat's collar. He looks at Nurse Joy with his deep crimson eyes. "My name matters not. And thank you." He says, as he takes back his Pokeballs and turns to leave, his trenchcoat billowing behind him gently.
Nurse Joy shrugs and turns toward one of her Blisseys, whom gives back a look of bewilderment. The man walks out the front entrance to the Pokecenter, which opens up automatically via a motion sensor. His Pokeballs revert back to their smaller states, and he affixes them to his ball holder belt. He continues walking, and notices a few of the townspeople glancing at him. Some are curious, but other seem fearful. Some seem bewildered, like they know him from somewhere, but can't place him. He shrugs off their glances and continues walking, but stops as a red rubber ball bumps against his leg. He stops, and sees a child running toward it, who quickly stops in his tracks at the sight of who is next to the ball. A ways behind him are other children he was obviously playing with, who seem petrified. This child does not look very scared, however. The man bends down, grabs the ball, and tosses it. "Here, kid. Go and play."
The kid catches it. "Thanks, Draco!" he says, as he goes to his friends.
This surprises him. So. They remember me. And my alias even got around. I really did leave a huge impact the last I was here. That was at least 2 years ago, though... he thinks, as his mind trails.
FLASHBACK - Olivine City, 2 Years Before
"Not many Gyms I've gone to go for an all-out 6 Pokemon each." Draco says.
"Yeah, well. I picked it up from the big tournaments. And I own six Pokemon." Mina says.
The two stare each other down for a moment. Both of them a bit winded from being in the humid rock environment Mina has created for the Gym. Plus the toxin level in the air. "Though most of the Gyms I've fought have altered types, I wasn't really expecting a few of the things you've thrown out at me. I commend you." Draco states.
He refers to Mina's used Pokemon. Olivine City Gym has always specialized in Steel-types, ever since a woman named Jasmine was accepted as Gym Leader over 50 years before. Nowadays, the Gyms across the Continents still stay true to their original Types, but they also mix and match often. Draco anticipated Mina to use her Steel-types, along with Rock, Water, and possibly Psychic. What she did instead was surprising. So far, he has taken out 5: Dustox, Aggron, Metang, Magneton, and Heracross. Definitely a strange combo, especially considering 3 were from the Hoenn Continent. She had traveled. She now only has Steelix, and 5 of Draco's Pokemon are out. Plus she had sent out Dustox 2nd in the battle, which used an obviously customized Poison attack, the spores of which still loom in the air. Draco can feel himself sickening because of them, and none of his Pokemon are Poison-resistant. However, her Steel Pokemon are. "Yes, no one ever expects my teams. And they regret ever misexpecting. Now please, play your final Pokemon!" The bubbly green-haired girl says, eager to win.
"Very well. I don't know why I didn't use him before, but here. Skyfire, you're last!" Draco says, throwing his last Pokeball.
The Pokeball explodes out in a beam of light, and Draco's Charizard appears with a roar and flame. It then quickly catches on to the poison spores in the air. "A Charizard, huh? Well my Steelix is going to have no problem with this!" Mina states, flaunting the fact of her upper-hand.
Draco says nothing. And he really does know why he didn't send out Skyfire before. The Charizard is too unpredictable. A side-effect of his free-form training. Though he is slowly developing control, Draco feared for the safety of he and the people amongst the Gym. Now it appears he has no choice. "Skyfire, you know what to do." Draco states, adding something afterward in a strange language.
The Charizard nods, and looks back at the Steelix with a look of determination. Huh... That again? How can he control his Pokemon without shouting commands? Oh well. Steelix's Rock Sub-Type offsets his Fire weakness and will easily give him this advantage. Mina thinks to herself, before ordering a Rock Slide attack.
The Steelix shoots forward, sliding across the Gym grounds, carrying with him chunks of the rocky ground. Skyfire takes to the air to dodge the attack, and begins a descent. Steelix sets upright and looks up, as Skyfire comes down feet first and bashes Steelix just below his face, knocking him completely backward. "Whoa!" Mina says out loud, surprised at the Charizard's attack.
Steelix sets back up again. Skyfire lands, and then begins coughing. Draco softens his stern look. The poison is getting to Skyfire already. Mina smiles. "Rock Slide again, Steelix!"
Steelix begins his attack. Skyfire barely notices and dodges. From midair, he fires down a massive Flamethrower blast that overtakes Steelix's facial area. "Don't let him get to you! Iron Tail!" Mina yells.
Steelix swings up the end of its massive body toward Skyfire, and hits. Skyfire's Flamethrower is cut off as he flies toward the west end of the Gym near the wall. Why didn't he dodge that... Draco wonders.
Skyfire stands to his feet, and nearly falls over again, as he starts coughing. "The poison has him, Steelix! Win this battle! Rock Slide!!" Mina yells.
Steelix slides toward Skyfire for a last hurrah, and Skyfire is too caught up in the poison mist to notice. The Rock Slide attack slams him hard against the wall of the Gym. Steelix backs away, as Skyfire falls to the ground face-first. Draco looks on in disappointment. The referee raises the red flag. "Charizard is unable to battle. The winner is... Wait, huh?" He states, his attention diverted.
Skyfire begins to get up. He goes to his feet, his head still bowed toward the ground. He pillows out an angry snort, not unlike one of a Tauros about to charge. Draco gets a bad sense. Skyfire looks up at Steelix, his eyes a pure white. Small wisps of flame expel from his jaws as he breathes short breaths of anger. Skyfire then lets out a mighty roar, one good enough to scare away Mina's Gym Trainers whom watch nearby. Draco begins yelling out to Skyfire in a language no one can understand. Skyfire pays no attention, as he begins to take to the air. Mina looks worried. "What's... going on?" She says, shakily.
Draco darts his attention to Mina. "MINA! You have to get out of here NOW!" He yells.
"Why, what is... Ah!" She says, startled by another roar from Skyfire.
Up above them, Skyfire begins to literally radiate fire. An orange glow fills the room. Mina, never to have witnessed anything such as this, is petrified. The fire aura around Skyfire begins to center in front of him, forming a ball of flame. Draco dashes across the battle arena. With one final roar and an open mouth blast, Skyfire erupts the ball of flame into a massive inferno that is nearly as wide as the arena itself. Draco grabs Mina and dives away as the cataclysmic blast of fire erupts the confused Steelix, along with the entire arena. Steelix crashes straight through the Gym wall and outside into the entrance road to the city. The sudden crash startles the population out in the street, as they witness a flaming Steelix stir in the city street. Skyfire lands, not finished. The townspeople begin to run away, as Skyfire lets off another inferno blast at the Steelix. Draco and Mina get to their feet. Draco once again yells to Skyfire in the odd language, to no avail. "You have to stop him!" Mina says, as Skyfire attacks again.
"He's uncontrollable now, I... Wait, withdraw Steelix! He's down!" Draco says.
Mina puts out one of her Pokeballs and withdraws Steelix. Skyfire suddenly snaps out of his thrall, glances around for a moment, and collapses in exhaustion. Draco withdraws him to his Pokeball, glad the rage was over. But he quickly notices... Several buildings have caught fire. He grabs another of his Pokeballs and dashes toward the town square, while Mina slumps over, shocked at what she had just witnessed...
END FLASHBACK
Draco stands unmoving as his memories flash before his eyes. They stop, and he looks behind him, toward the beginning of town, where the Gym is still located, albeit amongst a few more buildings that have since been erected. Sometimes I wonder why I remember things like this so vividly... He ponders.
He turns away from the Gym and begins walking toward the harbor, past the fishing housings. Draika and Varsennath handled that blaze fine, but the one thing I had hoped wouldn't happen did, and worse than before... Now I'm forced to keep Skyfire in exile. I fear he may never get rid of his curse.
He reaches the beginning of the harbor, which is separated from the rest of the housing by a large clearing which they often use for vehicles and special town events. He sits down on a wooden bench near the water's edge. Reaching into one side of his trenchcoat, he brandishes a small, gray trinket in the shape of a six-sided polygon. It shines in the light of noon-day sun. He looks at it for a moment. The Mineral Badge... She gave this to me after the incident for winning the fight, along with a TM. I knew it was standard, but she seemed so odd in her manner. It's as if the incident left her with a scar inside...
He looks back toward the Gym, which he can still see the top of. I was deliberating whether or not to visit her when I arrived here earlier today, but... I couldn't bring myself to do so. I almost didn't wish to show myself here...
He places the badge back in his trenchcoat. He then slumps downward a bit and stares out at the ocean, lost in thought.
A few blocks behind him, a boy and his mother step outside of their house. "Oh, I just can't bear to see my little boy leave here again..." She says.
"I'm 17, Mom. Kids leave for good at 10. I can handle myself..." The boy says.
"I know, Jules, but... You just returned after so long, and... You've grown so strong and brave and..." She rants.
"Cut it out, Ma. I just beat the Johto Elite Four is all..." Jules states.
"Well to me, that is a big accomplishment. And you know your father would be overjoyed if you became a Master..."
"The boat won't be long, Ma."
She tries to say something in protest, but stops. She embraces her son one more time. "Good luck, son. Promise me you'll come see me again."
"I promise." He says, as he begins to walk away.
A few townspeople see him geared up and realize he's leaving. They begin to bid him farewell, and others join in. He waves to them and continues down toward the harbor with a spring in his step. He had conquered the Gyms and Elite Four of Johto. And beaten all his friends to it, as well. Now he's ready to travel to a brand new land of Pokemon and adventure. As he approaches the large clearing, he notices Draco. Sitting on a water-side bench. His happy demeanor suddenly shifts. He approaches faster, and gets closer to the bench. "Hey! You!" He yells.
Draco turns his head to the side and looks behind him through the corner of his eye. "Yeah, you! Stand up and face me!" Jules states.
Draco looks back toward the water and sighs. He stands up and walks around to the backside of the bench. He stands, glaring. Jules softens his tight stance and nearly slips off one of his feet. "It is you... You're the one that almost destroyed Olivine City!" He yells.
Draco stands quiet for a moment. He expected something like this to happen. "Well... I suppose that was me." He says.
Jules tightens his fists. He attempts to say something, but his anger blocks his speech. He instead lets out and angry yell and leaps toward Draco.

Author's Note: Anyone who is a Pokemon fan probably knows that Steelix is in fact a Steel/Ground type. In this fic, he is Steel/Rock. I've always thought of him as being Steel/Rock, because it just seems obvious. That's just how I like it, but for the sake of things, we'll just say Steelix has evolved a bit in 50 years. :P
