In The Eyes of an Arbok: A Story of Friendship

Part 1: The beginning of a new friendship

I am an Arbok.  A snake Pokemon you know.  This the story of how I met a majestic Sylveon.  

I was slithering around in a field as usual.  Then i bumped into a Sylveon.  "Hey!!!!  Watch where your going!!!!!"  I scolded

"Watch where YOUR going."  She replied.  I was furious.  I was about to use Poison Sting on her.  

"Hey!"  I shouted.  She looked back at me.  But them, I just lost the nerve to do it.  I said, "Never mind"  I was feeling sad for some reason.  I turned around and left to my cave with my head down.   She followed me.  

I sat down in my cave,  coiling myself up to get comfortable.  I was comfortable.  She entered my cave.  I didn't notice her at first.  I was reflecting on my childhood.  Then i looked into reality.  I was never going to make a friend.  I started to cry knowing I blew my chance to make a friend.

"Why are you crying?"  The Sylveon asked in a tender voice.

At the sound of her voice I rose my head up and asked, "Why do you care?" in a slightly angry voice.

"Because I am here to make friends with you."  She said in a friendly voice.

My face lit up at the thought of a new friend and my head immediately darted up and i asked, "Really?"  

"Yeah"

"Your kidding right?"  I needed to make sure she meant what she said.

"^^  Yeah.  I want to be friends with you."

"This is a big surprise."  She questioned my statement.  "Well, I don't really have anyone to talk to, and its been that way for a long time.  Everyone i tried to talk to either ran away or just attacked me.  Then we got into a battle.  You on the other hand, are different.  You approached me willingly knowing I might attack.  Knowing i had the obvious type advantage.  But you still approached me never the less.  And you even want to be friends with me.  And another thing, you are different than other Pokemon I met.  You are caring.  You help others.  You care for others.  In other words, you are not selfish."

"Well I love making knew friends.  Despite if there bad or nice.   I have my ways."  Sylveon said and smiled.

I smiled back.  "Well, its always nice to have new friends.  Even though I never had them."  I just got an idea.  "I wanna know how strong you are."  I told her.

"What do you mean?" She questioned.  

I replied,  "I wanna battle you."

She smiled eagerly and said, "A battle?  Count me in!"

We both smiled at each other.  The battle began.  

She started out by using quick attack.  I avoided the attack.  I then used Poison Fang.  It hit her.  But then her Ability took affect.  After the impact I fell in love.  It was her Cute Charm Ability.  That delay allowed her to use Fairy Wind on me.  It hurt.  Thinking she was poisoned, I used Venoshock.  It was a failed attempt due to the effects of Cute Charm.  She then used Moon Blast on me.  That also hit me.  The impact cured the effects and i snapped out of it.  "Clever move."  I told her.  "But now its my turn"  I dug underground.  She was listening for my location.  I popped out behind her and used Poison Fang.  She dodged it.  I was down to one final option.  I used Wrap.  I wrapped my lower body around her squeezed tightly.  She was struggling to break free.   She let out a moan.  I squeezed tighter.  I knew for sure i was going to win the battle.  She started turning blue.  I looked at her, and was reminded of someone.  Someone that i hold most of my memory's with.  I suddenly felt terrible for what i did.  I let go of her.  "I'm sorry"  I told her.   "Want to call a quits?"  

"no,"  She replied.

"I like your confidence."  I told her.  

She smiled and attacked with on last Moon Blast.  Once it hit, I feel backwards. I had fainted.  She won.

I got up and told her, "Congratulations.  You won.  But by luck.  I was........................distracted."

"Distracted by what?"  She asked me.

"Nothing"  I told her.

She looked at me suspiciously.  She knew I was lying.  I sighed and told her, "You know what?  I was distracted by you...."  I was blushing.  She didn't know what i meant but i thought it would be best not to tell her.  "Anyway you did well.  I'd clap, but I don't have hands."

She then smiled and cheered.  I then asked, "Wanna go for a walk?"  

"Yes" she responded.  We then exited my cave and walked out into the meadow.  

After a few minutes of silence I told her, "You know, I never really gotten the oppurtunity to talk to someone."  

"Really" she replied.

"Yeah.  I know.  It's sad.  I only really had one friend in my entire life.  His name was Sebby.  He was a Seviper.  He died a few years back.  We were the best of friends.  I considered him my brother. We did everything together.  But, it was short lived.  Like I said earlier, he died a few years back"

"What happened to him"

"I don't know.  It was my birthday when i found out what happened to him."  I started tearing up. 

She hugged me to comfort me.  It worked.  I then told her, "you kinda remind me of him.  Your both caring, and you are both strong."

"Really?" she questioned

"Yeah," I told her.  "I really think so.  That's why i couldn't gather the courage to use Wrap.  Cause I couldn't gather the bare to see someone i care about perish."  

"Aww, that's so sweet of you."

"No.  It's nothing, really."

"Really, it's kind."

"It's just an opinion"

She smiled.  We continued to walk.  After a few more minutes it started getting late.  We then went home.  

That day change my entire life.
