Secrets Without Shame (A Pokémon Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

(Note: This chapter is in Danny's POV. He and other characters will occasionally have chapters in their POVs, like Margaret, N, and Sky Blue. To be honest, I was close to adding the Pokemon Advance Theme Song to this chapter, but there are already more chapters with media than without. Anyway, happy reading! :3)

The music from Danny's violin seemed to weave all the way through Route 5. His violin was one of his most prized possessions. It even had his name engraved in the wood. After one day of being with mostly strangers (excluding White, Margaret, and Fiona), he needed a break.

His pokemon were outside of their pokeballs. Loopy was swaying to the music, and Samson was digging around in the little snow there was. Danny had named him after a great hero in history. Samson had been a man sent by God to free his people from the Philistines, and had been given powerful strength to do so. He had been able to kill a Pyroar with his bare hands. However, he had fallen in love with a Philistine woman, who had deceived him into telling her his weakness: that his hair could not be cut, or he would lose all his strength. He had been captured after his hair was cut (not to mention that his eyes had been taken out), but he was given enough strength to have a building collapse and kill him and numerous Philistines.

He didn't stop playing his violin until he heard a disturbance in the tall grass. Danny watched as a strange looking pokemon edged out of the bushes. It looked like a medieval sword in a brown sheath. It had a sash on the end of its hilt, which was a dark teal color with a light blue swirl. On its hilt was the pokemon's eye. It seemed curious about the music coming from the violin.

Samson, who had also noticed the newcomer, growled and got one all fours, his lit tail flickering brightly. Loopy merely giggled and stumbled toward the pokemon. The pokemon backed away from her, apparently startled.

Danny knelt down and pulled Loopy back a little before taking his Pokedex out of his coat pocket. He slid it open and held it up at the pokemon. The Pokedex registered it a moment later as a Honedge, the Sword Pokemon. It didn't give any other information.

"Hey, come here," Danny whispered, holding out his hand to the Honedge. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."

The sword-like pokemon blinked at him with its one eye. It slowly floated closer to Danny, not taking its eye off him. Since it showed no sign of aggression, Samson relaxed a little and stopped growling.

But then there was a loud thud and a yelp, making Danny jerk his hand back and whip around to see the disturbance. The Honedge made an odd clanging noise and fled back into the bushes.

The annoying trainer White had introduced him to, Sky Blue, and his Gallade seemed to have "accidentally" teleported into a tree. They had fallen out of the tree and on top of each other. This displeased Danny since he found Sky Blue just as White did: immature and irritating. Like White had said, he appears in places that most people would least expect to find anyone. It was hard to have a private conversation, because nobody knew if Sky was listening in or not.

"What are you doing?!" Danny demanded furiously as the older trainer winced and got back onto the Gallade's back. "I thought you were with Mira!"

"What?" asked Sky as the Gallade teleported in front of the rookie. "Of course not! She's like a Gengar! She keeps watching me! Can you imagine someone her age watching me?"

"From what I've heard, I think I can. Look, I don't have time to deal with your stupid games-"

"Games?!" the other trainer interrupted, the Gallade now teleporting behind Danny. "Did you say games?! I love games! We can play a game, right?"
