When he looked up, he saw a Combusken in front of him. He thought, "What the heck?"

"Are you okay?" Combusken said as Stevo was still laying.

"Maybe, just some bruises that's-" his eyes widened & froze where he was & tilted to see if that Combusken talked to him. He saw that the Combusken's eyes were widened as well.

"AAAH!" They screamed in union, with Combusken falling to the ground on his back & backing away from him.

"You...you understood what I said?" Combusken stuttered as he was still scared.

"Oh my... I can understand Pokemon? But how?" Stevo said, questioning himself.

"Maybe you're dreaming right now."

"No, there's no way that could be true. Because you can only feel pain if you're awake. And I'm wide awake." Combusken was shocked to hear what he said.

"I can't believe it! He actually understood me!" Combusken said, jumping up & down with joy.

"Uh, a little help *ow*?" Combusken stopped his enjoyment & looked.

"Oh I'm sorry. You want me to take you to a Pokemon Center?"

"Yes. Take me now!" Stevo said as he looked at himself, all bruised up from the fall. Combusken lifted him on his shoulders & carried him there.

Meanwhile, at the Pokemon center, Nurse Joy was just finishing up with a patient signing out. The front doors opened with Stevo on Combusken's shoulders, still in pain. Combusken ran towards the desk & yelled for her.

"Oh dear! What happened?" Nurse Joy said in shock as she stared at the bruise boy.

"No time to explain, help me please *ow*!" Stevo tried to yell, but he was still in pain.

"Chansey! Take him to the ER immediately!" Chansey did as she was told & put Stevo on a stretcher & pushed him there. Combusken ran alongside as it moved.

"Are you gonna be okay, sir?" he said nervously.

"I hope so." Stevo's stretcher entered the ER door & Combusken was kept away from it by the other Chanseys. They told him to sit down. And so he did, for about an hour.

Stevo's eyes began to open as Nurse Joy & Combusken looked at him while he was in bed.

"Wh..Where am I?"

"Well you're in a Pokemon Hospital. You looked like you took a nasty hit when this Combusken here came in with you on its shoulders."

"Hm... So, when do I get to leave here?"

"Oh you can leave now if you want to. But you must be careful with your left arm, it hasn't healed yet."

"Okay then, Combusken, Nurse, help me up." They lifted him up & helped him stand up straight. Then they walked down the hallway to the sign-out desk. But as Stevo was walking, he turned to looked at the opened rooms. He suddenly noticed one with a boy & a Lucario in one room as they got closer to the desk.

"Hm... That's strange. It seems like as if I saw them before, but where?" He turned back around & approached the desk.

"Ok, I need you to sign here, here, & here." Nurse Joy said as she handed him a clipboard & Stevo wrote.

"There you go. Now, have a nice afternoon!" She waved as he & Combusken walked away from the desk.

"Okay, you too!" Stevo said back, walking out the door beside Combusken.

After they've walked out of the Pokemon Center, Combusken began to pull on Stevo's shirt.

"Um, sir?" Stevo turned his head to look at him.

"Yes?"

"Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Stevo."

"Stevo, aren't you a Pokemon trainer?" Stevo realized that he hadn't played that game since the 5th grade. He frowned & looked at Combusken.

"Combusken, I was once a trainer, but I quit because I felt like I was getting too old for it." Combusken also frowned.

"You can still train, right?" He frowned more.

"I can, but it's been so long that I've forgot most of the Pokemon's moves & weaknesses." Stevo was about to continue speaking when his stomach growled.

"Combusken, is there a place where I can get something to eat?"

"Yes, there's a cafe down this street." So they've walked down to it & talked a little more on the way.

As they ate at a round table near the door, Stevo looked at Combusken as he was drinking his soup.

"So Combusken, how do you know your way around here?" Combusken froze & gave him a cold stare.

"Well, I once had a master, until... he passed." Combusken said, with tears beginning to run down his cheeks.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?"

"Well, it happened about a month ago. We were walking beside each other when a Meowth attacked me & 2 men took hold of my master &... &... killed him right in front of me." He was about to cry. "I was so angered, that I've bit Meowth's nose, ran into the woods, & lived there since until I saw you fall out of that tree." Stevo couldn't imagine how horrible it was for him. He patted on Combusken's shoulder with his right hand, trying to calm him down when he cried.

"Combusken, how would you like to go on a journey & let me train you. What do you say?" Combusken stopped crying & looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, yes I do!" Combusken said to him with joy.

"Great! Now, are you done with your soup?" Stevo asked, pointing at the empty bowl Combusken was eating out of.

"Yes, Master." Combusken said, looking at his new owner's happy face.

"C'mon, there's a lot we must do." Stevo said as he got out of his chair to dump the trash off the tray with Combusken behind him.

As they got closer to the trash can, a boy & his Lucario were coming from the opposite direction, heading towards the same one. As they were right beside it, the boy accidentally stepped on Lucario's foot, which made it yelp, causing the boy dropped his tray, & the mug fell & spilled on Stevo's shoe, which it absorbed the coffee & burned his foot inside.

"Ow! My foot!" Stevo yelled, which he spilled his tray & slipped & fell to the floor. The boy, his Lucario, & Combusken went to help him up.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" The boy was a little shakened by this accident.

"Ah, I'm alright, except for this stain on my shoe." Stevo looked to see the boy staring at Combusken.

"What kind of Pokemon is that? I haven't seen one of those in ages." The boy said, then he took out his Pokedex & saw that it was a Combusken. Stevo looked at Lucario at the same time the boy was looking at Combusken.

"Is that a Lucario you have, sir?" Stevo asked. The boy turned his head.

"Why yes it is. Hi, I'm John, & this is Lucario." John said as he took his arm out for a handshake.

"Well nice to meet you. I'm Stevo, & this is Combusken." He said as he shook hands with John.

"So, where are you two heading to?" Stevo asked.

"Oh, we're heading to meet Sensei Hosokawa. Are you going there too?" Then Stevo thought of that as the perfect journey.

"Why yes we are."

"We are-*ow*" Combusken said, but Stevo knocked his beak.

"Great! We're heading there right now. Do you want to come?" John asked.

"Sure, why not?" So Stevo, John, Combusken, & Lucario walked together & headed out the door & began walking on Route 1.

As they were walking, things got a little quiet, until Lucario asked John something.

"Master, do you have a candy bar?" Stevo looked at Lucario when he asked.

"But Lucario, we've ate like half an hour ago."

"Yeah, why do you need a candy bar if we already ate?" John & Lucario gasped & looked at Stevo in shock. They all stopped walking & stared.

"Stevo... you understand Pokemon too?" John said to him, still shocked to see this.

"I do, but for some reason, I've had that talent since I fell out of a tree." John & Lucario looked in turmoil.

"What were you doing in a tree?" Lucario asked.

"I rather not explain that." Stevo told him. John looked up to see that the sun was going down.

"Guys, it's starting to get dark. Let's start setting up camp here."

When they were finished setting up for the night, Lucario was sitting beside Combusken near the campfire.

"So Combusken, what's it like being with your master?" Lucario asked.

"Well, he seems really nice, even though we've just met." Lucario looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"You see, I once had another master, & well, he was killed by a couple of men, &-" Lucario thought of John's parents.

"Wait, were they in black clothing with a letter "R" on the shirt?" Combusken gasped as he remembered that.

"How did you know that?"

"I know this is sad but, they were the ones that killed my master's parents." Combusken gasped again.

"I'm sorry about that." Lucario looked down.

"That's okay. Even though I've never met them in my life, I knew they were very important to both me & my master."

"Lucario, Combusken, time to rest!" John called out as he was almost finishing setting up the sleeping bags.

As they all got in, except for Combusken, who laid on a patch of grass beside Stevo.

"Good night everyone." John said.

"Good night." They said in union. As they were asleep, Stevo woke Combusken up to ask him something.

"Combusken?"

"Yes, Master?"

"Thanks for saving me earlier today."

"No problem. Good night, Master." Combusken said, then quickly drifted off to sleep.

"Good night, Combusken."
