{ this is a short break from the story to rechrage and also get some lore out.. please note this is not a story for those who want a simple and cute read yes i will have cute and funny moments.. but mine is more twords the harsh reality of life in a more fantasy maner. a dark but also light read yin and yang.. life and death please be patient with me and enjoy the storry as best you can descriptions of injuries will be detailed battles can and will get dark fast in some areas. }

in the world valdederon finds him self in full of stable trades and endless amounts of tradeable goods it can be easy to ignore the fact the mewn all thogh old by human standards in the world of pokemon were some species can reach ages of up to 1000 and further the mewn is new with in this worlds recent history.

(( the drying is a drout and will be mentioned a few times))

about 20,000 years back the world around was decrepid in terms of trade and comerce to buy from markets youd have to carry many bags of many currencies from stone chips to wood tablets bronze and copper coins to gold and silver blanks nothing was ballanced or fair.. were you could find a bag of onions at 3 copper coins that same bag some were else soon is suddenly 300 silver blanks .put simply crime was prevelant.. theft and murder was not uncomon.. teens killing a merchants guard holding a bag of moldy bread just to fead his siblings while he went hungry. life was cruel back then it wasnt un common for entire tribes to dissapear over night due to having not had food for weeks.

but that soon changed when a small village near what is now the pheonix valley guild to the south east near the top of a mountain lived the noble yet tricster prone zoroua and zoroark. a small family distant relitives of the tribes elders often foraged for food on thier own the eldest beeing a young 15 year old. some times moody boy named kelldeer he hunted frequantly in the valley near the mountains some times bringing a single small deer for his family and a large buck for the village only lasting them a week at most with rationing.. none complained knowing how scarece food has been with a drout during that time period.. the vilage poor but fending for them selves despite the cruelty around them keeping to them selves when one day a trade caravan full of sneasel and weevile a rare group who distained violence visited one of thier younglings sick and injured. the elders letting them in after seeing the fear in thier eyes despite the others protests as zoroaks know the history between both sides..

during thier stay kelldeer visits the sick sneasel whos crying only a year and a half old burns on his shoulder from a flame thrower attack .

kelldeer--- what happened

the leader a tired and old weevile scoffs

rex-- what the fuk do you care zoroark your elders let us in not you.

kelldeer--- mom always said to not cling to ones species past or struggles but to always look ahead.. look for peace.. you guys sell stuff???.. what does sell mean

rex thourougly shoucked laughs alittle

rex-- you mean your vilage doesnt trade or.. buy or sell.. uh.. ok say you wanted this stick in my paw… id ask for payment.. like these copper pieces i have.. this is money you give it to me for the value of this stick and i give the stick to you.. though each town and city has its own kind of money.. so you should learn about the worlds currencies first.. most caravans dont make it long because of how many there are.

kelldeer--- thats… horrible.. some one has to do somthing about it.

rex chuckles softly scars up and down his arms his ches and even a larg one across his face

rex---well that will be a day the world celebrates kid.. do your family a favor and forget you ever heard of trading.. kids yoru age are always victims of this worlds ineptitude..its impotence.. just look at my baby boy just last week a group of charmeleons attacked us.. my boy got cought in the cross fire . hes been sick ever since we have no medicine either..

the elder brings abottle of mashed oranberry juice and puts it in the childs mouth

kelldeer---- why.. why did.

rex--- food kid.. food sam reason it happens alllll over the place when your tired.. hungry.. your sitsers or brothers crying for even some molded berries.. your emotions take over and some times violence is yoru only answer in your brain all foged up with pain hunger and emotions.

kelldeer-- fine.. if you wont man up i will you have food.. fine give us a years worth and ill give you evry bit of valubles i have and then.. FOR MY DAM SISTER ILL MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER..

the room falls silent as the zoroark whos always been moody but other wise quiet and laied back is now near sobbing tears streaming down his face his mouth a snarl fists clenched as he growls and storms out the entire room dead silent.. as if not a single soul lives untill the infant coughs up alittle oran berry mush braking the silence.

kelldeer---- that kids somthing else..

elder saraphine--- hes got a kid sister.. he gives most of his food to her as shes younger and needs more to grow.. were as hes able to live off what the woods offer. hes out hunter.. one of a few actualy. always asking what can be done to bring us out of this rut we barely have a weeks worth of food with whet he and the other 4 hunters bring for 300 souls.. he worries me.

rex---his hear bleeds for his family.. that look.. i almost thought hed want to pry the food from me.

elder saraphine chuckling--- ha ha ha no he wont do that he cherishes life far to much.. he may not show it but the kids fallen for yoru caravan.. dont be go witten it of as him blabin to blab off hes willfull persistant and smarter then most of us elder folk.. dont tell him i said that we gota stay the wize elders wer are seen as he he he.

rex--- you sly old codgers you folks arent know as tricksters for nothing arent you

she gives a soft blep and smile before wiping the young kits face and cheking the poor kids now healed wounds giving a thumbs up while kelldeer talks to all the sneasel and weevile holding a note book and pen he crafted from a chared stick taking notes about trading and the various currencies they have encountered. soon kelldeer gives all the gems trinkets and other odds and ends to the trade caravan stuff hes collected over hi 6 years of hunting and gathering much to thier shock having enough value to purchase out thier entire food stock of dried fruits meats and even fresh veggetables even getting a toy for his 5 year old sister after they leave the sun is already setting as kelldeers mother prepares a hearty soup with the bounty he gathered.. with rationing a good 2 years of food in terms of dried goods about 2 weeks of veggies as well.

velma--- so i hear you saved the village for the next couple years.

lily--- big bwuva smawt

kelldeer--- lily. anunceate your words please… its big brother .. and its my big brother is smart sweet bean.

she sticks out her toungue making him sigh to tired to fuss with it

kelldeer-- you know the only reason im not drilling it in is because im tire dyou little brat.. behave for mom ok.. dad is out hunting still.

velma--- ha ha hes in for a super shock when he gets back.

they all smile as she servs the bowls of thick meaty sup with onions carrots potatoes deer and beef made with a thick broth and kelldeer looks at the bowl crying silently confusing his sister.

lily--- momy why is he crying.. is he upset the food is bad.

velma--- no dear hes not.. your worried about when the food runs out arent you.

kelldeer---a.and when i head out. im tired of us not having enough food to thrive.. this village used to be so much bigger ..when i was10 we hadd over 500 villagers most of them have left or starved out and now i find we could have been trading for food… 6 YEARS OF ME COLLECTING JUNK… and its suddenly enough for alll of the food i just got us.. more food then ive ever gotten in a week of hunting and gathering.. im going to go out learn about the world and create a universal currency that all can use.. and find trust worthy traders like those sneasel and weevile.

velma-- hun.. think about what that entails.. youl be gone fore ever and what if you dont make yoru coin.. if you want to go you can but be careful.. dont get your hopes up just to get them crushed ok..its ok to dream as long as you dont loose your self in it.

kelldeer--- i know mom.. you said the same when i siad i wanted to hunt ive kept us going this long. but the drying is getting worse.. the rivers are nearly gone the deer are spreading thin.. id i dont go soon it may be tolate to save the ..the world not just the village.

she puts her paw on his and smiles just as his father a rare albino kantonian zoroark often mistaken for beeing a hisuian zoroark

felldon-- somthing smells great

velma--- that would be your sons amazing junk saving us for a couple years.. all those things you thought were just random junk.. he traded for food.. and a toy for his sister..

felldon-- collor me shocked. then.i owe you an apology kiddo im sorry i judged your collections.. but ithought they were .

kelldeer--- food was far more important then my collections..ill miss my treasures but treasures dont fill the stomach..as you once put it.

felldon---i was pretty angry then wasnt i… i apologize

kellderr walks over and hugs his father purring and they all sit down to eat feldon seeing the tear stained fur on his sons face.

felldon-- you ok kiddo..youve been crying.

kelldeer nods eating his soup.

velma--hes a tad bit upset of the state of the village and our food ..hes got a plan aparently.. though i am worried. can you train little lilly to be a hunter when shes old enough.

kelldeer--- ill also show the others were i do most of my hunting in the valley before i head out i know my plan will work out some how. it has to .. for lilly and all the kits in the village and the elders.. those old bats need food just as much as the children.

felldon givs a quiet nod and dinner goes by with a almost sad atmosphere ervyone knowing that soon kelldeer will leave the village into the chaotic and unpredictiable outside world. the next morning kelldeer starts making breakfeast waking up before evryone making some sausage and tomato soup plating evrything up just as evryone wakes up.

felldon--- he he here i was thinking id need to cook thismorning ha ha ha ha

kelldeer--- morning dad. i made yoru favorite today im also going to need help gathering all the hunters so i can show them my hunting paths and such i have a map of the area were i hunt theres also lots of berry bushes deep in the valley as well.

felldon sits down as the others walk to the table

felldon--- sure i can help ya ther kiddo. as long as you tell me this plan of yours first deal.. i know your old enough to venture on your own but i .. im still worried.

kelldeer-- yea i can do that.. my plan is basicly im going to leave and travel the world learning evryones trading systems and currencies.. learn whats most common and use that to make a unified currency of some kind..

felldon smiles and puts his paws under his chin elbows on the table

felldon--- after having talked with the elders and learned more about what happend yesterday..i have to say thats a dam good plan.. just be carefull people out there are scared and hungry by the sounds of things.

kelldeer nods having already gotten more detailed accounts from the sneasel and weevile and the family sits down to eat together lilly beeing as messy as always her furr covered in bits of meat and tomato soup after eating and cleaning up felldon and kelldeer gather up other 4 hunters joanah, mako, nexus and lorkan.

kelldeer-- sorry for gathering evryone suddenly like this but.. i have to leave the village.. before i do that im sharing my hunting grounds with evryone.

lorkan--whoa whoa whoa wait aminute your doing what…

joanah--.. ok.whats going on

mako and nexus in unison--- shut up and listen to the kid

mako--- he did get us food for a couple years

nexus--- we have to ration it but its still more then weve ever had since the drying lets listen to our little hero

kelldeer blushes but explains his plan to them showing his hunting grounds the berry bushes and other fruit picking spots areas hes found wild veggies and.

felldon-- in the mean time we should start training up more hunters lily is only old enough to start learning how to track animals but i know some others who are 10.. and ready to hunt

kelldeer-- hunting when done right is fun.. ill miss it but..if my plan works we wont need to want for food any more.

lorkan and joanah sigh in defeat knowing they cant change the young zoroarks mind

lorkan--your as stubborn as your father some time syou know that.. ha ha ha.

kelldeer chuckles and gives the hunters friendly hugs and begins to pack his stuff after reminding them to collect any odd trinkets , gems or interesting items they find as they can be traded as well hugging his parrents and his little sister he ventures off exploring evry corner of the continent of neonis from the cintrus berry islands to the east to the west in the silva island cluster the mountains north of the river that flows north east into lake palicon alll the way to the most northern edge were a fairly barron but still habitable island houses 2 small citties thriving on mostly fish and birds. he finds that gold and silver tend to catch peoples attention more as wlll as n od choice of metal called xeracine. so he heads back home having spent 9 years traveling to find the hunters have begin finding a few more animals evry week keeping a steady meat supply going lately the drying easing up but food still quite scarce luckily trade caravans having been told of a friendly town have more then made up for the lack of animals.

he walks into his little village abit more lively then when he left it but still filled with un ease as food all though stable now has fluxuated frequantly and still does but now childrens lauging and joy can be heard and suddenly hes pounced into the dirt with a playful growl in his face as his sister now 14 is happy to see him.

lilly--- your back your back your back..

kelldeer---good lord could you be any more agressive ha ha ha ha ha.. i love you to baby sister

lilly---- hey im a hunter now.. im not a baby.

kelldeer-- youl always be my baby sister hun.. im older then you.

she smiles and helps him up and they head to thier house.

kelldeer-- i see we have new kits in the village

lilly--- yea about a couple years after you left the hunters managed to fin a small patch of gems uner a cave and collected them though they werent to happy about having to.. and that same day the sneasel and weevile carravan came back to trade food hasnt been fixed but at the moment.. its.. some what stable…… uh..we also have new sibling.. an

kelldeer rubs her head softly--- aww did my baby sister become a big sister now.. whats our siblings name

lilly--..w.what your not upset.

kelldeer---- hell no. im happy to have a new borther or a sister what ever the case may be

after saying that a small white zoroua runs out and jumps into her arms sticking his tounge out

lily-- fell why arent you in bed

Fell---nuh napp nawt tiwed..

lilly picks him up by his scruff and stares him in the eyes

lilly--- you get your white furred little rump back in that bedroom and go to sleep or ill tell mom you snuck into the cookies again

he yelps and runs inside after she sets him down

kelldeer--- ha ha he looks so much like dad..how old is he

lilly--he turns 3 tomorrow

kelldeer smiles and ruffles her main softly

kelldeer--- im proud of you sis..im sorry i was gone for so long but im home ti stay now..got some stuff i need to do still but i think the world is going to change… in a big way.

lilly--um..could i….kell..

kelldeer sees shes embarrassed on somthing.

kelldeer ---whats bothering you sis..

lilly blushes and whispers in hes ear

lilly---i.started having accidents in my nest again and i dont want to tell mom

kelldeer holds back a chuckle and just rubs her back

kelldeer--- mom wont make fun of you sis dont worry your secrets safe with me but.. i think the little rug rat might have loose lips if he finds out his older sisters secret so be sure to tell her your self.

she sighs embarresed but nods. and chuckles

lilly--- other then that can i help with your project

kelldeer--- definately id love the help the project is going to be making a coin the front will have mew and the back a zoroarks face.. your a better artist them i am so id love the help

lily--- he he and your a better hunter then i am guess were even

they head on in the house and he sits down at the table pulling his back pack over and putting materials on the able to stark making coins.

from this point on the world slowly found out about a strange new coin beeing celled the mewn a single xeracine disk with gold on the front silver on the back and intricutely carved mew and zoroark its.. with in 200 years the econimies of the world merged to this 1 coin kelldeers name next to the zorroark and the fron words saying in mother mew we trust.

A Knight Who Smelled of Ale

It was a cool summer day out in the country, the road was clear, the trees were beautiful, and my wagon hasn’t fallen apart since we left the last town. The day was going swell for this merchant and nothing could ruin it. That is until I went further down the road and met a small group of individuals waiting at the crossing.

“Good morning good sirs and madam it is a wonderful day we are having is it not?”

“Aye, it is my merchant friend,” The Elven lady at the front of the group said with a smirk.

“Is there something wrong past this bridge that you fellows are so closely guarding?”

“No we were simply waiting for you to arrive.”

“Oh well that is odd I wasn’t told that anyone would be waiting for me at this crossing, “ I could feel a sweat starting to form as I finished those words.

“We wanted to surprise you my merchant friend. Don’t you recognize us from the tavern in Allenstown?”

Her blonde locks, her scar over her left eye, her towering height, even her intimidating beauty, these were indeed something I remembered. Back in Allenstown I was drinking at the tavern after a terrible day in the town. I couldn’t sell any of my wares at the market and my wagon fell apart but the local smith had too high of a price to fix it. As I was about to get up to go a room I rented upstairs I overheard a woman angrily screaming at a short man over their misplacement and loss of the group’s armor. Apparently the small fellow was supposed to look after their supplies while she and the rest of the group enjoyed their night at the pub but he fell asleep and a rival mercenary company stole their equipment. When I got off my stool and walked towards them I recognized the tall, blonde, scarred Elven woman as Eliza Hawk of the ruthless Merry Company. However despite being the terrifying leader of an infamous mercenary company, several merchants have told me she has terrible bartering skills and is easy manipulate. In a moment of brilliant stupidity I took the opportunity to convince her to buy my not so good wares at double the price. It was enough to pay for the wagon repairs while leaving enough for almost anything. She seemed none the wiser about the true quality or the actual price and accepted my offer. A few days later I heard that the Merry Company lost a battle and suffered many casualties as a result of their equipment not being up to par. This gave me the idea of leaving town sooner than intended to avoid their wrath.

“Someone told me this road part of the route you usually take so I decided to wait here for you and not have to deal with the guards.” Her smirk turned into a scowl.

“Um well it is great to see you but I must really be going.”

Without hesitation the mercenaries swiftly drew the swords from their scabbards. My horse was frightened by the mercenaries surrounding us and couldn’t move.

“Tell you what my merchant friend if you give us all your gold, your horse, and your wagon we shall give you a head start before we hunt you down like the sleazy dog you are.”

“How about we make a deal Eliza!? If you let me go I’ll tell my merchant friends to give you and your friends a very deep discount. They have much higher quality goods than mine that will surely make your campaigns much easier. You can keep the wagon but I need my horse to be able to make it to them easily.”

“I listened to you before and my men couldn’t slice breads with their swords nor withstand a hard wind with their armor. I think I changed my mind and kill you right here.”

They all started walking towards me ready to end my miserable life but on the bridge a man in armor on his horse stopped in his tracks. His plate armor shined under the sun and attracted the attention of the mercenaries stopping them from coming at me. He slowly continued toward us until he reached the mercenaries.

“Hello ser would you be so kind as to help me in my predicament? You look like a capable knight who could protect me from my demise at the hands of these blood thirsty mercenaries.”

It was then that the strong stench of ale hit me and it came from the knight. I was disgusted, there was no way a knight would be so inebriated while the realm is at war.

“As a knight it is my duty to help the defenseless no matter the reason, “ The Knight said as he carefully got off his horse.

“Ser are you alright? You smell of ale and you can barely stand straight!”

“You should run along now drunken knight it looks as if you’ll vomit in your shiny helmet if you move around too much.” Eliza seriousness cracked at the sight of the Knight.

“I apologize my lady but as an honor bound knight I must ask that you cease your atta-hiccup-ck on the man’s life.”

“Men get his sorry arse out of my sight!”

The Knight grabbed his sword while still in its scabbard and whacked a charging mercenary. I was shocked that he did it so deftly without falling over. The other mercenaries continued to charge but the drunken Knight continued to beat them with his sheathed sword. It was as if he was dancing in how he avoided all their attacks and countered them with his own. He hiccupped. He burped; he even drunkenly yelled and cried about being abandoned by the love of his life. Honestly the fact that he can construct full coherent sentences in his state while fighting had me surprised. A few minutes later he had taken out every mercenary who had charged him without taking a single hit.

“You shouldn’t have done that you drunken fool! You will not leave this crossing alive for your foolishness!” Eliza had her greatsword in hand ready to duel.

“I’m sorry my lady but I have heard of your accolades, to fight you would almost certainly mean my demise. I only defended myself because your men had charged at me. I would’ve rather discuss this peace-hiccup-fully since my stomach is not feeling well.”

“My honor dictates I cut you down for attacking my company!”

“While I understand your situation please understand that that man you were about to butcher is the close cousin of the Trade Prince of Estochia. If you kill him the prince will send every soldier and mercenary he can find to hunt you down. While you are indeed a spectacular fighter you-hiccup- have lost quite a bit of manpower in your battle the other day so you won’t last long very long.”

“That’s impossible!? This imbecile wouldn’t need to be a merchant if he was close to someone like him.”

“Well you must not have heard of the tragic story between the two cousins then. The merchant heads of Estochia found out of their prince’s secret love affair with his cousin and threatened to replace him if he didn’t exile his cousin. Given that ultimatum he gave his love a horse and enough gold to start a new life before exiling him from the trade kingdom. With the skills he learned alongside the Trade Prince he built himself a new life as a traveling merchant making ends meet with shoddy wares he obtains from desperate smiths.” The knight said this so eloquently that a tear began to fall from Eliza’s eyes.

“I empathize with you my merchant friend; this story reminded me of when my family disowned me after finding out about my affair with an Orc warrior many years ago when I was a noble lady. Fine I will forget about this as long as the merchant stays away from me and my company.” She rallied her men and left without saying another word.

I was in disbelief of what had occurred. I still had my life, my wagon, my horse, and my gold all thanks to this drunken knight.

“Ser thank you so much for your heroism if not for you I would’ve definitely been food for the wolves! I must admit I didn’t think she would believe such an outrageous fabrication for she had just fallen for one days earlier.” Tears of joy were falling from my eyes.

“It was no problem citizen it was my honor to assist you without anyone suffering any losses. Peace is so hard to come by these days and we knights must do our best to help our world achieve it.”

The Knight got back on his horse and continued on his journey. I was in awe of this man who despite his state had stopped to help a fool like me. I decided then and there that I would sell everything to run an inn in a town I heard was for sale. It was more peaceful despite the occasional bar fight but no one was trying to kill me and I no longer traveled. Occasionally I would hear stories from travelers about a knight who smelled of ale saving them in a ridiculous fashion. These stories always made my days better knowing that that crazy drunken bastard is still out there helping in any way he can.
