Pokemon: The Sinnoh Journey!
Author's Note:
So I am a big video game fan and a part of me that I will never ever let go is Nintendo because they house a ton of games that I played during my childhood. Pokemon was one of those games and I would love playing it, watching the anime, and just being a fan myself. I still remember the feeling of watching the first few episodes of the Sinnoh Region era and I felt darn excited. I want to show you guys what would have happened if I were journeying around the Pokemon world starting from Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh. This may grow big and out of hand but for now I just want to make a journey that contents my vivid imaginations. Alright without further ado, let's get started!
The sun rose on a summer morning in the quiet town of Twinleaf. Twinleaf was famous for being the town that "harbored" adventurers and Pokemon trainers themselves. Yet even through this well-known preposition, nobody dared bother the peaceful town. Yet, in one house slept a young boy of 14 who without a doubt was ready to start his adventure.
"Zeph! Sweetie! Wake up, you'll miss meeting Professor Oak!" A caring voice shouted up, smiling at the prospect of her son sleeping in on the day he's been most excited for. "Wah!" Zeph shouted as he fell from his bed. "No! Why did I sleep late?" Zeph scolded himself, getting out of bed. He ran down the hall into the bathroom and took a shower, brushed his teeth and put on his clothes. Zeph Yoshida looked himself over in the mirror and wolfishly grinned. He was on this day 14 and ready to journey into the world. He had dark brown hair, not exactly black but you can see the brown. His eyes were also as dark and was commented as being mysterious. He wore an orange hoodie and blue jeans. Then he put on his trademark orange hat which had a Pokeball on the front. "Yes!" Zeph fist pumped and ran down the stairs but tumbled down and landed in a mess. "You need to be more careful, if I didn't know any better, you were just getting excited." Zeph's mother exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. "M-mom. I'm fine! I just got caught up in my own excitement." Zeph replied a bit more timid at the thought of him looking like a fool. He ate his breakfast faster than you could say, "EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR!" Zeph grinned and ran out the door saying good bye to his mom in the process who just stood there shocked at his demeanor. "Ah, well. Every boy gets to this age someday." His mom giggled remembering her husband.
Zeph glanced at up at the sky and closed his eyes for a moment, soaking in the sun. Then he snapped his eyes open just as quick and ran down to Route 201 where Professor Rowan was sure to be waiting. Sure enough, Professor Rowan was there and so was his assistant Dawn. "Ah! Zeph! Good to see that you are on time for once!" Rowan greeted the young man who couldn't have stayed still for more than a second. "Yeah, you wouldn't believe what I had done just to get here on time." Zeph chuckled nervously at the prospect of the Professor figuring out his embarrassing morning. "Hey, Dawn how are you doing?" Zeph asked turning his head to see Dawn standing next to a briefcase. "Oh me? I'm doing great!" Dawn replied enthusiastically. "That's great to hear!" Zeph said, matching Dawn's tone. "Ahem, well as you know. Today is a momentous day where you will be given a Pokemon, Zeph." Professor Rowan said pointing his hand at the suitcase. "In here are three Pokemon that you can choose from. Piplup the water type, Chimchar the fire type, and Turtwig the grass type. Each are great Pokemon and will help you in its own way. You can choose." Rowan said stepping away. Zeph glared at the three Pokeballs in front of his eyes. He had to choose one and this was a hard decision but he knew without a doubt who he'd choose. Zeph leaned down and picked a Pokeball up. "Chimchar, I choose you!" Zeph announced and threw his Pokeball into the air. A Chimchar flew out and landed in Zeph's arms. "Chimchar, from this day on…we are partners!" Zeph announced putting out a fist which Chimchar returned with enthusiasm. "Chim-char!" Chimchar cried. Dawn looked at the two with a curious glint in her eyes. The bond she saw was almost instant that she was shocked at first but ended up smiling at the two. "Hey, Zeph. We've known each ever since we were kids and I never thought I'd say this but…I challenge you to a battle!" Dawn said breaking out of her stupor and calling out her Piplup which appeared in a flash. Zeph grinned like a madman. "Dawn! You're on!" Zeph said confidence filling his eyes. Chimchar jumped out of his arms and landed in front of him. "Oi, vey. I know that you know how to battle, Zeph but be careful okay?" Rowan asked curious to see how this would play out. "Affirmative, gramps!" Zeph said nodding.
"Chimchar use Scratch!" Zeph said waving his arm to the side. Chimchar dashed at Piplup and started using its Scratch attack. "Chimchar!" Chimchar cried, dealing blow after blow. "Piplup, throw Chimchar into the air and use Pound!" Dawn shouted and Piplup followed suit, grabbing Chimchar's hand and throwing him in the air. Then, Piplup launched itself into the air as well and kept Pounding away at Chimchar. Zeph realized the situation had escalated and thought desperately for an answer and found one. "Chimchar use Growl!" Zeph shouted and Chimchar let out a battle roar that caused Piplup to falter. "Use this chance, Chimchar! Go! Scratch!" Yet right before Zeph finished, Chimchar gave an almost imperceptible nod and hit Piplup with all it had. Rowan then called the match and ended it. "You both did splendid! Zeph, you only met your Pokemon for a short while but in that time you were able to form a strong bond with it! You have potential, and that potential can get you to the Champion, possibly beating her." Rowan exclaimed with a sense of proudness. "Here have a Pokedex. It is a high-tech encyclopedia that records information on every Pokemon you encounter." Rowan pulled out a Pokedex and handed it to Zeph who played around with the nifty device. "Also, you may need these, you can catch Pokemon with these. Of course, just using these won't get you a Pokemon, you have to weaken it." Rowan lectured Zeph who intently listened. "Anyway, let's got to my lab. We can talk a bit more there." Rowan started walking through the wild grass to Sandgem Town with Dawn in pursuit. Zeph looked back once more and breathed in the sweet air of Twinleaf and said goodbye to the town he loved.
