Chapter 24: Combusken

Combusken sneered and glared at us. "It all happened a long time ago while I was still a pathetic little Torchic...

I was excited, I could hardly sleep that night! I jumped out of my nest and ruffled my feathers in excitement. Today's the day! I had been counting down the days since I heard Rescue Team recruiters were coming to town. I, like any other kid, wanted to join the Rescue Team and help all Pokemon in need.

I ran out of my house, not even bothering to stop to eat breakfast. "I may not be very good at fighting, but I have a firey spirit that will ensure me a spot on the Rescue Team," I thought.

By now the town was in sight. I ran faster not looking where I was going and tripped over a rock, hitting my head on the paved road. "Ochie!" I said sniffling a little bit. "Hello, are you alright?" said a voice as they helped me stand up.

"Y-yeah I'm ok. Um, thanks, Mr... Um, what's your name?" I asked. "I'm Sceptile, leader of Team Justice." "You're on a Rescue Team?!" I yelled excitedly. By this point, I was jumping up and down with excitement. "Are you the Rescue Team recruiters that are supposed to be in town today?"

"Yes I am, why?" "Because I want to try out for the Rescue Team and help other Pokemon!" I said striking a determined pose. Sceptile started to laugh a little bit. I didn't get the joke.

"What's so funny?" I asked. "It's well... you're so young and well... never mind. Are you sure about this, kid?" "I have never been so sure in my life." "Alright, then I'll escort you to tryouts."

-----------------------------------

"Alright, kid, here we are, best of luck to you." "Thanks, Mr. Secptile, I won't let you down!" "I'm sure you won't," said Sceptile as he pet my head. "Just go stand in that line over there and wait for your turn, okay? I'll be expecting you"

I ran to the end of the line and paced excitedly. "Hey chill out dude," retorted the person in front of me as I accidentally knocked into him. "S-sorry," I stuttered. "Don't worry about it. Anyhow my name's Tyrouge, what's your na- hey aren't you kinda young to be here kid?"

"I'm not that young and my name's Torchic not kid," I huffed. "Sure, alright buddy, but let me just give ya a warning," he said. "And what's that?" "You're not getting so I wouldn't waste my time if I were you." "What?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Didn't ya hear me the first time kid? You're not getting into the Rescue Team. First of all, they don't accept little kids and even if you were old enough you're too pathetic and weak to ever be in a Rescue Team," Tyrouge said rolling his eyes.

"T-That's not true! Sceptile believes in me, he brought me here himself!" I yelled on the brink of tears. "Whatever he told you, kid, was just charity work." "N-no, t-that's not..."

I was cut off by another Pokemon. "It's true, kid. No one wants a wimp on their team, you'll only be a dead weight." "Not to mention you're whiny and seem to cry a lot, weakling." 

Other Pokemon started to join in. "Pathetic!" "Useless!" "Cry, Baby!" "Go home, a Rescue Team is no place for a wimp like you!" 

"I'll show you, I'll show you all!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face.

"The tests had been hard, but I feel like I did well! Sceptile even kept smiling at me and encouraging me on! He must want me on the Rescue Team, right? Oh, maybe I'll even join his team!" I thought.

Sceptile walked out of the tent where he and his Rescue Team were deciding who to let join their Guild. In total there had been sixteen of us. I wonder who'll get let in and what the teams will look like once the pairs are set up!

Sceptile silenced the crowed of whispering Pokemon with a raise of his hand. "I am very pleased with all your efforts and am happy to welcome you all to join my team's Guild. Well, all of you except Torchic. I am very sorry but you just didn't make the cut this year, but if try again next year I'm sure you will do great!" Sceptile said with a reassuring smile.

I couldn't believe it. I wasn't excepted. At that moment my world shattered. I started my walk home sadly when I was stopped by some familiar faces. The Pokemon from tryouts.

"Hey, kid, I just wanted to say you showed us alright. Showed us how pathetic you really are," Tyrouge snickered. "We all knew you would make it, kid." They all started laughing. I growled and tried to attack Tyrouge with a scratch attack, which he easily sidestepped. "Oh, so you're a tough guy now? Come on guys, let's show this kid how strong real Rescue Team members are!" 

They bombarded with attacks spewing insults and left me battered on the side of the road. At that moment I swore I would get my revenge. I would become the strongest Pokemon ever and make them regret not letting me on the Rescue Team that day. I would destroy the very world they fought so hard to protect."

Hey, I'm back guys! I finally got over my writer's block. Now let's hope I can finish this book before it comes back. So, thoughts on Combusken? Anyways I hope you enjoy this longer chapter and sorry for my absence. Thanks for reading! Bye!
