I walked in the forest, the heat felt good on my frame. It warmed me up so much and just fed with my tail flame. I took a deep breath in, just smelling smoke. That is all that I had smelt sense I was born, it gave me some reassurance in a way. I walked with my small arms at my sides, my long tail flicking back and forth. I learned not to touch it as a baby, I burnt myself. But my parents had told me that they had done it as well so I didn't feel so bad.

I was orange, a typical Charmander. I had large blue eyes and an orangy-yellow belly. My flame on my tail was huge and bright. But I wasn't angry, I was just healthy. There was a smile on my face, just closed mouth so no one saw my four teeth. I only had four teeth right now, but I still had a mean bite. Even though the attacks that I could use in battle was scratch and growl. But I didn't care, I had a mean scratch as well.

I walked along, my large feet leaving claw marks in the dry Earth. The heat from the fire was close, but that was because I was living in Burning Forest. The forest was always on first. Nothing could put it out unless some freak disaster came here and extinguished it. And I hoped that it never happened. Where would I go? Where would the other fire Pokemon who weren't yet ready for the Volcano go? Maybe the Volcano would have to suck it up and let us live there until the first started to burn again.

But enough of that, that was never going to happen here. It was to hot. I flung out my arms and started to run. My eyes closed. I now had an open mouth grin on my orange face. But not for long as I had smacked into a tree. Everything went black for a moment.

When I came to I looked around, my eyes dancing all over the place making my vision blurred and I could see two of everything. I tightly closed my eyes and then slowly opened them again.

I sat quietly on the low branch. It was low enough to the point where I could jump up into it easily. My six tails fell behind me on the other side of the branch. I didn't quite feel like holding my tail up high or my head, so I looked at the ground. The sky was blue, but I truly didn't fee like looking at it. The heat around me radiated like the sun giving off its waves of heat. Of course it was hot though, it's always been hot where I was, even in the rain. I let out a deep breath and then shrieked when the tree I was on shook. It was a weak tree and I knew there was the chance of this, but I sat there anyway, falling off the branch.

I stood up, shook myself off and looked around the tree to see what had shaken the tree. It was a Charmander, eyes closed and tail bright. This was the average Charmander, the orange colors and the flaming tail, while I just and average Vulpix. The orange tails and bangs while my fur was a red-orange. I was short with brown eyes and the cream underbelly. My socks were brown, all but one. The sock of my left hind leg, it was a white, different from any other vulpix, and I have no Idea why.

I sat under the tree, looking over the Charmander and watching his face. The eyes remained closed and all remained still, until I decided to speak. Are you okay? I asked, hoping that this creature was okay. I didn't like it when people were hurt, and I didn't like to let them lay there if they were hurt. Never in my life had I see someone run into a tree though, not until now. I kept my tail up my ears alert, waiting for him to say something, or at least open his eyes.

My lips twitched, and I felt them peel over my four teeth. I stuck my tongue out, then opened my dark coloured eyes again. Pupils enlarged and I heard a voice in my invisible ears. I gave my head a shake, squinting my eyes to look at her. "Yes, I think so." I said, putting on of my hands down, the three claws clasping the dry Earth as I put my feet under me and pushed myself upward. I swayed slightly then rested my other hand on the tree. My tail flicked from side to side as I got my vision and equilibrium back. Now I am. I only see one of everything rather than two blurry things of everything. Thank you!" I said, truly grateful for what she had said to me.

I am Pyrogenic, or just Pyro. What is your name?" I asked the Vulpix. I noticed that she wasn't like the other Vulpixes. She had a white sock on her hind paw. I didn't mention this, I had just met her. I gave her a big smile, one that didn't show my teeth because I heard that that might be frightening to others.

I took a look around, it was all the same as before. The fire burning brightly on the dry grass.

I looked the Charmander over again, listening to him speak. I'm glad you see only one thing now, I wouldn't think seeing two would be fun. Quietly, I laughed to myself and stood up, smiled slightly. My name is Persephone. No nickname. I shook my head and flicked my tails. It is nice to meet you. I spoke politely and then turned my head to the sky then at a fire on the ground. The dry grass burned to a black and made me smile again. Fire was something that always made me happy, and made me feel comfortable, so did being clean then again.

I looked over at the Charamander and then back at the ground. What brings you into this tree? I asked, truley wondering how he had run bumped into this tree in the first place. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I've never seen anyone run into a tree like that. I nodded, looking into the blue eyes of the Charmander.

I lifted one of my feet and gave it a stretch, curling the toes one by one and hearing a tiny crack. It felt good. I scratched my belly after that and looked up toward the blue sky. Well, I guessed that it was blue. The smoke was also very thick but sometimes I could see the smoke. I inhaled, feeling the smoke enter my airways. It fed my fire in a way.

I swished my tail back and forth, enjoying the sound the fire made when I did it. But after a little while of swishing I grabbed my long torch holder and inspected it for any damage made during my fall. So far I found nothing, which is good. I didn't want to get it damaged or hurt, it held the flame that was my very life. The flame that stayed on the tip of my tail sense I was born. It was a mixture of both my mother and father, and I was determined to find them, as a Charizard.

"You have a pretty name, Persephone." I replied to her, "yes, it is nice to meet you as well."

I also couldn't wait to become a Charmeleon. I would change colours completely and my claws would get longer and sharper. I would also get a horn on my head which would later split into two. I would also be ruthless as a Charmeleon, uncontrolable as the dragon side of me would erupt. "I was just running around, with my eyes closed. Feeling the nice air on my face." I said, trying to feel nonchalant but I was really embarrassed. "Don't worry, I didn't find it rude." I said.

"Where did you come from? Were you just in the forest or in the burning grass? I didn't see you before I had closed my eyes." I asked her.

[Shadow]

I looked down at the grass and all around, taking in a deep breath and whipping out my tails. I closed my eyes, wondering whether or not to say that I had fallen or just to say that I had been in the tree. It was strange to have someone say they were running to feel the air on their face, then again, my only friend was a Vulpix, Rossy. He never ran to feel the air, only to run towards a fight.

I let out a breath of hot air and then took a breath in, smelling the silty air. I looked back at my tails, the six orangeish colored tails. I wish I could have learned about myself from my parents, the way I was, who I was. I was abandoned though, and I vow, if they didn't love me, I'm not going out of my way to find them. I was sorry to say my parents didn't care, or that they didn't want be to grow, but I wanted to grow. A Ninetales. I had to believe there was a chance of me becoming one, a chance somewhere in this world.

I would only evolve once, as far as I knew, and that would be into a Ninetales. An animal with nine tales and a yellowish color. Much larger than I, and much more beautiful in my mind. I'd hope to become one once I saw Rossy's mother and father. They were both Ninetals, and it made me want to be one. I snapped myself out of the trance and opened my eyes. Why thank you Pyro. I looked at the Charmander in front of me, seeing as I had been in a trance, I had somewhat forgot he was there.

I was in the tree you ran into. I could feel the vibration and I hopped out. I sat down again, flicked my tails and moved my head to the side.

I gave my small body a good shake. I still had some ash and burning twigs on my back from the fall. My nostril slits flared as I reached behind and brushed off the stuff that didn't come off and were stuck in my scales. It was hard to take a bath when your tail had to stay up most of the time. Which is why I didn't normally take baths, to risky.

I found myself wondering what I would look like as a Charizard. I know that I would look like as a Charizard, but how big would my wingspan be? How tall would I be? How much would I weigh? Would I be scary? Or would others laugh at me? I think that I would be scary and that I would have an attitude to thoughts I don't know. I would sore over the volcano and travel to the flying regions and battle there. I had so many plans, just how to get there?

"No problem." I smiled and turned around and started to walk toward a meadow. Maybe there was Pokemon I could battle there. I walked a few steps, my head held up high and my long tail flicking back and forth. Her voice entered my hearing range and I turned around. My large eyes falling down toward the four legged. "Oh, I am sorry. Would you like to walk with me, I am going to see if I can find some Pokemon to battle and see if I can level up." I said to her.

I may not level up, I may not even find another Pokemon here. Who knows how I loud I was when I crashed into the tree. I may have scared them away. Oh well, it doesn't hurt to check! My thoughts swam as I thought back to being something stronger than what I was right now. I felt my feet crunch on a dead bush and realized that I had stepped into a bush. I frowned and then flashed my palm in the air and did my slash attack. The dead bush fell to the ground and I stepped around it.

Hey! Why didn't I ask this Vulpix if she wanted to join my team? That is a good idea! "Would you like to join my team?: I asked as I turned to look at her. I wasn't to sure if she knew what I meant.
