Chapter 1: An Inconvenient Injury
Taron's POV
NewBark... The very town i've lived in for my whole life of 13 years. newBark... The very place I would start my Pokemon Journey. I would of started when I was 10 hut the League had decided to up the age limit of starting trainers to 13. It was just me & my mother living here, I was an only child & my father had gone off to god knows where occasionally sending gifts with no return address. My name name is Taron, I have black hair with some streaks of blond hair taking shape & I have hazel eyes, I wear a plain black T-Shirt which has a Mewtwo using a Psychic attack on Mew saying "PWNED" underneath it & I wear plain jeans & my new pair of red & blue sneakers sparkled in the sunlight. "Hey mom, im going to Birch's to pick up my first pokemon!" I called out to my mother.
"Be back by dark Hun." My mother called from the kitchen.
"I will..." I said slipping on my holey red & black beanie which had become very... holey during its long life(About 7 years) "Seya!" He called out walking out the door. I had gotten as far as out side the front gait when I was bowled over by my best friend Matt.
Matt was a blonde, he wore purple long sleeve shirt which had a Sneasel, Charizard & a Absol having a 3-Way fight, he wore blue Cargo Pants & pure white sneakers completed the getup "Man im gonna laugh when that beanie falls to pieces on ya" Matt exclaimed "C'mon, we better get to Birchie's before all the good pokemon are gone!" He said running off towards the lab.
"Hey, wait for me!" I called out as I started running after Matt. "Theres no way in hell your getting the Torchic!" I yelled, me & Matt had sought after a Torchic for years, I had even gone as far as using a disguise to sneek in the lab for the Torchic last year, Birchy recognised me though...
"& who's gonna stop me... You?" He said smirking as he picked up the pace.
"Grr!" I growled as I activated my running shoes. & with that, I was speeding along faster than a Rapidash & I caught up with Matt at the lab. We burst through the door to find... "Oh ****!" I swore as I saw my friend Rachael hugging a red & yellow chicken, the Torchic.
"Oh come off it, thats so unfair!" Matt groaned.
"Well I beat you here fair & square" Rachael said mockingly. She had brown height hair that reached down past her shoulders & she had sparkling blue eyes. She wore A plain white T-Shirt with a pink jacket with a winking Jigglypuff on the back of it, pink shoes & she was taller than both me & Matt, by about 23 centimeters to be exact. "I think ill call my new Torchic: Blazing Embers." She smirked evilly as Me & Matt skoffed in disbelief.
"Come now boys, there are still two other pokemon here waiting to be chosen." Professor Birch said trying to please us.
"Ok, I chose the Mudkip!" Matt exclaimed before I could do anything.
"Here you go Matt." Professor Birch said handing the pokeball with Mudkip to Matt & he released it from its ball. This Mudkip smiled as it looked up at Matt with hunger.
"I want food, feed me!" The Mudkip demanded looking up at Matt.
"Do you want any food?" Matt asked petting his new partner on the head.
"Oh yeah, just a little bit to the left... Did you say food?" Asked the Mudkip nodding furiously.
"Ok, ill go get some!" The professor said walking down the hallway into the kitchen. "Taron, your Treeko is in my bag, ill allow you to get it out!" The muffled voice of Professor Birch called out from within the bowels of the kitchen.
"Ok!" I called back. I went over to his brown traveling bag to find one pokeball inside "I really don't like grass types..." I mumbled pulling out the pokeball & pressing the button on it. There was a red light & what appeared from the light was a Treeko. It looked like a green gecko that stood on two legs that had a huge nose It looked at me as though I was the Devil & backed off slightly. "Its alright." I said reaching out to pet it. What it did next was most shocking & painful. The Treeko gained some courage, looked at me with pure hatred & jumped onto my arm "What the..." was the last thing I said before it grasped my hand with its teeth "AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!" I yelped in pain as in sunk its teeth even further into my hand.
"Whats all this racket?!?" Professor Birch said running down the hallway with some food in his hands. "I heard somebody scr..." He stopped midsentence as he saw Matt & Rachael trying to pry the Treeko off my hand which was now bleeding heavily & Torchic & Mudkip (Who had forgotten he was hungry) stood in the corner of the room cowering at what was happening "OH MY GOD!!!" he yelled picking up Treeko's ball & returning it "Ive got to get you to the doctors!" Professor Birch said in a worried tone.
"Why did Treeko do that, That young human didn't do anything wrong, did the human do something wrong?" Blazing Embers asked Mudkip.
"I dont know, but I relised that im still hungry..." The Mudkip said in an emotionless tone.
"IS THAT ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT, OUR FRIEND SERIOUSLY HURT THAT YOUNG HUMAN & HE ONLY DOES THAT WHEN HE IS THREATENED & THAT HUMAN WAS NOT THREATENING!" Blazing Embers screamed at Mudkip as professor Birch picked Taron up & took him outside & put him in his jeep.
"Blazing Embers come back to your pokeball.." Rachael said in the same tone as the Professor returning the Torchic to its pokeball.
"Yeah, you to Mudkip." Matt said returning Mudkip to his ball.
I moaned in pain as I was placed in the back seat of the car. My hand was still bleeding rapidly even though I had a cloth around it to stop it from getting infected. Then all of a sudden I felt extremely light headed & I passed out.
"Ouch my aching head" I moaned as I awoke to find myself in my room. Memories flowed back to me "Oh yeah, that bite from that Treeko hurt." I said looking down to see where the Treeko had bitten me to see it wrapped up heavily, but as equally un-profesionally. I looked up to the calendar on the wall to find that it was now October the 4th. "Crap, I was out for more than a week." I said to myself getting up walking, putting on a new set of clothes, & out the door of my room down to get some breakfast. "Hey mom, where's breakfast?!?" I called out to my mom.
"Honey, is that you?" My mom said running into the lounge room where I was sitting. After about half an hour later she finally let me go to see my friends.
"Im going to Matt's house now." I said getting up off the sofa.
"Ok then. Dont look anything like that Treeko that bit you!" She said in a worrying tone.
"I wont..." I sighed walking out the door. After a good 5 seconds of walking I saw something that looked to be black trying to run away but it stumbled over. I ran up to it & saw that it was a small Sneasel, possibly the runt of the pack. "Come here" I said bent down & gently picking it up. It tried to get out of my hands but it failed miserably at the attempt. "No, I dont want to hurt you." I said gently stroking its head & it fell asleep in my arms.
And thats the end of the first chapter of Cursed, hope you liked it. Please note that this is my fanfic from FF.Net, but its somewhat different... Yes, I am "Attack of the Moron" from that site.
