The soft glow of the moon’s light filtered in through the open window, and Derek’s snores sounded deep into the forest. But all was not well, for soon a deep chilled filled the cabin, a light frost covering the wood.\n\n\t“W-w-what’s g-going on?” the young trainer yawned, the cold causing him to awaken. He quickly glanced at the egg, luckily, the incubator adjusted for the new environment, and raised its internal temperature to counteract the cold. “T-t-this is n-n-new…” He chattered, creeping over to the open window, and trying to close it. But, no matter how hard he pushed, it wouldn’t budge. The wood was frozen to its making it immovable.\n\n\t“D-Dammit!” he stomped the ground, instantly regretting it as his bare foot crashed on the frosty wood below, causing him to slip backwards. “S-shit!” Derek called out as he slammed to the ground. The yell echoed into the nearby woods, heard only by one, young Buizel, rushing towards the cabin through the water.\n\n\tThe boy painfully pulled himself up, using the window’s base as a grip-hold. He had not even stood completely, when he was slammed back into the ground by a large, yet warm object, becoming soaked with water, “Bui-bui!”\n\n\tDerek rubbed his head, the pain rapidly spreading through his body. But, to him, it didn’t matter anymore. Only one thing was on his mind now, “B-buizel? What are y-you doing h-here?” In response, the small sea weasel jumped up, pointing it’s finned arms towards the woods, “Bui bui, ibu-bui!”\n\n\t“Uh…huh…say a-again?” he couldn’t understand the Pokèspeak, and apparently his little egg wasn’t translating for him this time. He looked over to the incubator, ‘Could the cold be affecting it?’ It worried him, but not as much as the fear on his friend’s face, “B-buizel…is something bad coming?” The question was obvious, because of the strange frost covering his cabin.\n\n\tThe young Pokèmon shook his head, resting his paw on his nose, “Bui..zel…” he seemed confused, not realizing why the trainer couldn’t understand. As it thought of a way to get the message through, dark clouds began to creep across the sky, cloaking the woods in darkness, and hiding the moon.\n\n\t“Buizel…come over here real quick.” Derek coaxed the Pokèmon into following, walking towards the egg and its incubator. Though still confused, the Buizel instinctively followed, “Ibu-bui?” The trainer chuckled, taking a seat near the incubator, it’s radiant warmth keeping the area around from frosting over, “Come on, I want to show you something.” He continued to wave it over, smiling with warmth that no incubator could mimic.\n\n\t“Bui..?” The little sea weasel questioned again, but it still went ahead and stood next to the incubator, looking up at the friendly trainer. “Ibu?” Derek reached over, and began to gently stroke the Buizel’s head, the dark scar having faded away once more, “This egg here…if you remember, last time you were here it was shaking. It’s the reason I was able to understand you…I’m not sure how, but right now, all I hear is Pokèspeak.”\n\n\tThe Pokèmon looked towards the small egg, then back at Derek, scratching its head, “Bui…bui ibu bui?” He pointed at the egg, and his own mouth, trying to contemplate what the trainer said. Derek snickered softly, “Yes, the egg, allows me to understand you…but only when it’s shaking.”\n\n\t“Bui bui…” Buizel sighed, now realizing he couldn’t warn his friend. He didn’t have much time either, for his sensitive ears picked up a small explosion not too far away, ‘Gengar…he’s close…what can I do?’ On impulse, he simply clamped his jaw onto Derek’s sleeve and started trying to pull him to the door, wrapping his twin-tipped tail around the incubator.\n\n\tThe trainer grabbed for the device, breaking the grip of the Buizel, “What are you doing? You could damage the egg!” The small sea-weasel barked out, pointing towards the woods, “Bui bui, IBU BUI!” He was breathing heavily, afraid of the nearing Ghost-Pokèmon. “I’m sorry, but I still have no idea what’s going on…” As if to explain the Buizel’s situation, a large oak tree crashed down, the boom echoing through the entirety of the woods, loud enough that even Derek could hear.\n\n\t“W-what was that? Is that what, you were trying to tell me about?” The small Pokèmon nodded and pointed away from the forest, and towards the town, “Bui bui!” Derek shook his head in response, “We can’t run fast enough…you’re heavily injured…did that..” he pointed towards the woods, “..thing out there…did it cause them?” The Buizel nodded in reply, turning to look towards the darkened trees, ‘I guess he’s right…it’s too late…and I’m too weak to fight.’\n\n\tWith nothing left to try, the young Pokèmon climbed into Derek’s lap, and curled up against him, shaking in both worry and fear. The trainer tried to comfort the Buizel, gently stroking the sleek fur on his back, “Whatever it is…don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe. I know we just met yesterday, but you’re one of the best friends I’ve ever had…I’d do anything to protect you, Buizel.”\n\n\tSeemingly in response to its owner’s strong emotions, the egg began to shake somewhat violently. Just outside, a large explosion cause another tree to collapse just outside the cabin. “It’s Gengar…he’s coming to get me…and he’ll destroy anything that gets in his way.” The voice came from the small Pokèmon in his lap, “Gengar…how can a wild Gengar be this strong?”\n\n\t“Wait…you can understand me again?” The Buizel looked up at Derek, tears streaming down its face, the dark scar starting to become visible again, “I tried to warn you…but it didn’t work…and now it’s too late.” Derek quickly spotted the strange scar, “This mark…it’s fairly old…he did this too you…didn’t he?” The Pokèmon nodded in response, “Yes, a long time ago, I don’t remember much about it. He was just a Haunter back then, very mean, always attacking other Pokèmon. He…he killed my parents…”\n\n\tBuizel paused, wiping away some of the tears with his finned arm, “I was just a little cub at the time, but watching him just take the life of my parents…it somehow, made me strong enough to push him away…I’m still not sure how…but the missing memories haunt me still today. I don’t even know how I managed to escape him, he’s become so much stronger since evolving.”\n\n\tDerek was becoming both saddened and infuriated, he couldn’t believe that such Pokèmon existed in the wild. That sort of thing was normally something brought on by the dark personality of a trainer. “Don’t worry Buizel…I’ll protect you. No matter how strong he is, I’ll protect you.” He hugged the small Pokèmon tight, “Thank you…Derek…” Whether it was from the injuries, or from time, he finally fell asleep in Derek’s arms.\n\n\tThe young trainer set the small sea-weasel on his bed, resting the incubator back in its original spot. “When you wake up…I might not be here, just…take care of the egg. It’ll need a friend when it hatches.” With clenched fists, and tearstained clothes, Derek began to walk to the door, only to slip on the frost again and fall back.\n\n\tAs if to make the situation even worse, the door blew open with a small explosion, a larger-than normal Gengar standing in the frame. It easily spotted the injured, and sleeping Buizel laying on the bed, and the motionless egg on the ground next to it. “Thank you, dear trainer, for making this so much easier for me. With that little brat asleep, he can’t possibly fight back.” The Ghost-Type’s deep chuckle echoed through the cannon, as dark energy formed around its eyes.\n\n\tDerek was somewhat shocked, how could he understand the Gengar, when his egg wasn’t moving? “Psychic types aren’t the only Pokèmon capable of learning to use telepathy…I learned it back when I was but a wee Ghastly. And, do you really think you can stand up to me?”\n\n\tThe boy just stood there, clenching his fists tighter, “Very well…since you know what I’m thinking, you know that I’d do anything to protect them…I don’t have to defeat you…merely weaken you. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, your energy is limited, and once that’s gone, you’ll have nothing.”\n\n\tHe charged forward towards the large Pokèmon, only to be met with one of its powerful attacks, “Night shade!” The dark energy slammed into Derek, pushing him back towards the bed. “Like I said little boy, do you really think you can stand up to me? Night shade!” He launched another powerful attack right behind his first, launching him backwards, and slamming him into the wall.\n\n\t“All humans are weak…and only the strong will survive. You need power in the wilderness, and kindness won’t get you power.” He prepared a shadow ball, as Derek shakily stood up, “Power isn’t everything, especially on your own…haven’t you ever heard, there’s power in numbers?”\n\n\t“Look at you…it didn’t take much and you’re already bleeding.” Through his rage, Derek hadn’t even realized his injuries. Noting the chance the Gengar gave him, he took a look at himself. The pair of Night Shade attacks had torn through his clothes, and blood had begun dripping from his mouth, pooling around the base of the incubator.\n\n\t“I may be just a human, but we are far more resilient than you think. This blood is nothing compared to what I would give to protect my friends.” The Ghost chuckled, “Let’s see exactly how much you CAN give…Shadow Ball!” He tossed the sphere of Darkness straight at the sleeping Buizel.\n\n\tWith what little energy he had, Derek jumped over to the foot of the bed, taking the full force of the dark attack right in his chest. The energy exploded against him, not only destroying his shirt, but rending into his flesh. Ignoring the pain, he stood his ground, not faltering an inch, “You will never…hurt him.”\n\n\t“I was wrong about you…I almost feel bad to kill you now…” Dark energy cloaked the Gengar’s hand, shaping into long, sharp claws, “…Almost. Shadow Claw.” He chuckled, launching towards the trainer with his attack.\n\n\tDerek just crossed his arms and braced for the attack, ‘I guess…this really is it. And I never even got to see my egg hatch.’ Even with closed eyes, he could still somewhat see the bright flash of light through the lids. His ears were met by a roar of pain, and his flesh was met not by the Ghost Pokèmon’s attack, but instead by a rush of cold air.\n\n\t“ICE BEAM!!!” The powerful blast of energy flew past Derek and crashed into the surprised Gengar, freezing it solid. Next, Derek felt cold water flow over his body, “Hydro Pump!” A large surge of water slammed into the frozen Gengar, launching the block of ice, and the Pokèmon deep into the woods.\n\n\tCarefully, Derek lowered his arms, and opened his eyes, gazing right into the upside-down face of the young Buizel, scar-free. “B-buizel? Did you do that…?” The small Pokèmon nodded, only able to muster up that much energy before passing out and falling to the floor. However painful it may have been, Derek dove, catching his friend before he landed on the cold ground.\n\n\t“Thank you…Buizel…for everything.” Exhausted and aching, he climbed into his bed, holding the small sea-weasel close under the blankets, and falling asleep, not really caring that the door was wide open. By his bed side, the egg was glowing softly and shaking ever-so-gently.\n\n \t\tPokèmon Heroes\n\n PAGE \\* MERGEFORMAT 1 \n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"DISCLAIMER: All non-original characters and properties are copyright their respective owners.

The pair of Night Shade attacks had torn through his clothes, and blood had begun dripping from his mouth, pooling around the base of the incubator.
\t“I may be just a human, but we are far more resilient than you think. This blood is nothing compared to what I would give to protect my friends.” The Ghost chuckled, “Let’s see exactly how much you CAN give…Shadow Ball!” He tossed the sphere of Darkness straight at the sleeping Buizel.

And I never even got to see my egg hatch.’ Even with closed eyes, he could still somewhat see the bright flash of light through the lids. His ears were met by a roar of pain, and his flesh was met not by the Ghost Pokèmon’s attack, but instead by a rush of cold air.
\t“ICE BEAM!!!” The powerful blast of energy flew past Derek and crashed into the surprised Gengar, freezing it solid. Next, Derek felt cold water flow over his body, “Hydro Pump!” A large surge of water slammed into the frozen Gengar, launching the block of ice, and the Pokèmon deep into the woods.
\tCarefully, Derek lowered his arms, and opened his eyes, gazing right into the upside-down face of the young Buizel, scar-free. “B-buizel? Did you do that…?” The small Pokèmon nodded, only able to muster up that much energy before passing out and falling to the floor. However painful it may have been, Derek dove, catching his friend before he landed on the cold ground.
\t“Thank you…Buizel…for everything.” Exhausted and aching, he climbed into his bed, holding the small sea-weasel close under the blankets, and falling asleep, not really caring that the door was wide open. By his bed side, the egg was glowing softly and shaking ever-so-gently.
