Hi! If you still accept requests, could I ask for two pokemon trainers that start a really cute friendship after a battle between their garchomp and lucario? Perhaps one ends injured and run to the poke center (I'm weak for angst tbh) :3c
*I’m not sure if I got this right! I’m writing one trainer as a reader, and the other as a character! I hope that’s okay!
You’d been exploring, searching for pokemon in tall grass around Route 11. You were having a boring day- all of your friends were busy and the wild pokemon were nowhere to be found. Not even a pidgey in the sky!
Beside you, your Lucario chirped, eager to battle. Their ears twitched rapidly, helping you search for any nearby wild pokemon. “I don’t know, pal. Looks like slim pickings today.”
Lucario trilled in disappointment, shoulders slumping.
“Hey, it’s alright. Maybe we’ll have more luck at the next town.” Lucario shrugged, following you out of the tall grass. Checking your pokedex for directions, you found the paved walking path of Route 11 and turned the correct way towards the newest town.
Halfway down the path, Lucario stopped. Their ears twitched, tail twitching behind them. Turning on heel, they spun around to bare their teeth and snarl.
“Luc, what’s up?” You turned, surprised to see another trainer behind you. They wore a red jacket and had a backpack slung over their shoulder. They looked about your age; wearing a belt that held four pokeballs. “Oh, hello!”
The other trainer seemed just as surprised to see you. “Hey! Sorry I scared your Lucario.”
Huffing, the blue furred pokemon turned their back on the new trainer. Your pokemon was a prideful little creature.
“Don’t worry about it! Are you headed to the next town?” You asked, nodding in the direction that you were heading to. The other trainer shook their head.
“I’m going the other way; I was just in the grass looking for more ‘Mon.” They smiled. “No such luck, though.”
You nodded. “Lucario and I were looking to train some before the next gym battle We haven’t found any pokemon out here either.”
“Do you want to have a quick battle?” The other trainer grabbed a hold of one of their pokeballs of their belt. “One on one?”
Humming, you looked down at your faithful companion. “What do you think, pal?”
“‘Cario!!” Lucario bounced around, feinting punches with their bulky paws.
“I guess that’s my answer.” Laughing at your partners enthusiasm, you nodded at the other trainer. Taking a few steps away from each other, Lucario stepped forward and puffed themselves up.
“Let’s go!” The trainer tossed their ball, and with a flash of light their pokemon appeared. A massive Garchomp, their tail swishing powerfully behind it. The other pokemon was majestic, with glimmering dark blue scales.
Alright, we’re at a type and size disadvantage, but that’s alright.
“Quick attack, Lucario! Let’s see how fast they are!” Maybe we could use speed against them.
Speeding towards the massive dragon, Lucario missed.
“Garchomp, crunch!” Your Lucario managed to dodge just in time to avoid the dragon’s massive fangs. They danced back to their place in front of you, paws held up like fists in front of their muzzle.
“Wow, your Lucario is fast!” The other trainer complimented, surprised.
“Your’s is pretty quick too.” It was nice to have a friendly battle for once. “Let’s go! Metal Claw!” Lucario powered up, charging at Garchomp as fast as they could. Striking a blow to the opponent’s shoulder, you were a little worried to see that the attack had little no no effect.
Garchomp roared, rearing back. “It’s alright, bud! Hit ‘em back- Dragon Claw!”
The battle went on like this for sometime. Neither pokemon were landing strong blows, both able to dodge or take the blow without taking serious damage. Both opponents were beginning to tire, and you hoped that Lucario would be able to outlast the massive dragon type.
“Sand Tomb!” With a flick of their massive tail, Garchomp stirred up a large cyclone of sand. Lucario covered their eyes, blinded by the oncoming attack.
Shit- we were weak against ground. If Lucario doesn’t move, they’re done for!
“Lucario, use Extreme Speed! Get outta there!” They couldn’t hear you over the sand swirling around them, and your poor pokemon took a direct hit. Lucario went flying, smashing into the ground with a terrifying smack.
“Stop!” The other trainer screamed, running across the battlefield. You dropped to your knees beside your pokemon, horrified to find them unconscious. They felt heavy and lank in your arms; almost as if they were dead.
You didn’t realize you were crying until the other trainer grabbed your shoulder. “I am so sorry!” They were close to tears as well. “Garchomp just evolved and she sometimes doesn’t realize her strength.”
“We have to get them to a pokemon center.” Sobbing, you shakily stood and got ready to make a mad dash to the closest town.
Grabbing another of their pokeballs, the other trainer summoned another pokemon: a massive mega Charizard, it’s blue tail blazing bright. “Get on! I know the way.”
Numbly following the other trainer, you saddled up on Charizard’s back. They let out a worried growl before pushing off into the sky. Soaring above the route, it seemed like hours before you caught sight of the town.
“Land as soon as you can.” The other trainer steered Charizard down beside the pokemon center, which thankfully wasn’t busy. Rushing into the center, you were met by a calm Nurse Joy, who whisked Lucario away.
“They’ll be okay.” You assured yourself, drying your tears with your jacket sleeve. Turning to your fellow trainer, you couldn’t help but smile through your tears. “Thank you so much for your help. I can’t e-even begin to thank y-you.”
Blushing, the trainer grabbed your hand. “It’s my fault Lucario’s hurt in the first place.”
“N-no!” Sniffling, you squeezed their hand back. “You said it yourself, Garchomp didn’t know their own strength. They didn’t mean to hurt Lucario so badly. I hope they’re not upset.”
Glancing down at their pokeball, the other trainer shrugged. “I’ll have a talk with her, but she needs to learn the consequences of her strength. This will be an important lesson for the two of us.”
“And Lucario and I need to learn not to bite off more than we can chew.” You tried to laugh, but the throbbing in your chest kept you from laughing fully. Glancing back at the door which led to the exam rooms, you bit your lip.
“Nurse Joy here is great.” The trainer smiled. “And Lucario is strong. Here, how about you sit with me and have some tea.”
“Oh, you don’t have to.” Shaking their head, the trainer gently led you over to an empty table. “I’m sure you had somewhere to go before all of this.”
“Well…would you mind if I sat with you while you wait?” The trainer blushed again, pulling out the chair for you.
Pursing your lips, you took a seat. “That…that would be nice.”
