For those of you who waited for me to rewrite this story, you finally have it! Genesis Triad has returned! Like before, it will focus on my OC characters Spiral, Kimiko and Xifeng travelling across the Kalos region. The difference is that Team Flare won't be involved at all; the villains will be a completely different team with completely different motivations. There will also be a couple of characters a friend of mine wanted in that I'll introduce later in the story. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!
It was very late at night and in a home in Vaniville Town, a young boy was in his bedroom, watching a recording of a battle from many years ago. The recording was of a young girl with flowing blue hair and a white kimono-style dress with a Ninetales at her command as her opponent was calling out their last Pokémon, a large Dragonite, inside a stadium filled to the brim with spectators. The girl recalled her Ninetales and threw out another Poké Ball in its place. Out of that new Poké Ball came out a Froslass and it summoned forth a blizzard that caused it to disappear.
Back in the real world, the boy watched the video while lying on his belly on his bed with an excited look on his face. He had grown-out, somewhat spiky violet hair and was wearing a blue T-shirt and white cargo shorts. His name is Spiral Yuki (Age 10), a soon-to-be Pokémon Trainer ready to journey out into the world.
Out of nowhere, he felt a deep chill on his cheeks which caused him to leap off of his bed and exclaim loudly.
"AH!"
Spiral heard a light giggling and saw a Froslass floating over his bed. The door to his room opened and entered a Ninetales and a woman with pale skin, long, flowing blue hair and wearing a white kimono, much like the girl in the video the boy was watching. This was Spiral's mother, Yukimaru (Age 30).
"Spiral, tomorrow's a big day." She gave a nonchalant smile. "You need to go to bed right now."
"All right, Mom." Spiral got up and back onto his bed.
"Have you decided on your starter Pokémon?" Yukimaru asked.
"Yep." Spiral nodded.
"Then you should focus on getting a good night's rest."
As Spiral got underneath his covers, Yukimaru picked up the television remote and was about to turn off the video until it reached a part in which the Froslass was standing over a fallen Dragonite and the cheers of the audience overwhelmed the audio feed. Yukimaru smiled as she was welling up with feelings of nostalgia before turning back to her son.
"You were an amazing Trainer, Mom." Spiral said.
"I still am, you know?" Yukimaru said.
"I can't wait until tomorrow! I've been dreaming of this day since I first saw you battle!"
"Listen, if you ever change your mind, don't hesitate to come back home."
"Why would I change my mind?"
"Just…" Yukimaru hesitated to answer. "… Just something to keep in mind…" She kissed her son's forehead and was about to leave the room with her Pokémon. "Good night, Spiral."
"Good night, Mom."
Yukimaru flipped the light switch, turning the lights off, and closed the door. Spiral tried his best to go to sleep, but his excitement for the following day made it rather restless until much later.
The next morning when Spiral got up, he changed his clothes and left without packing or eating breakfast since he wanted to get to Aquacorde Town early and figured he could come back home later to deal with those tasks. He was wearing a green T-shirt under a blue and black jacket, blue jeans and white and red tennis shoes as he made his way from home and through Vaniville Pathway. He eventually reached Aquacorde Town and went to the town's center and sat on a bench, eager for obtaining his first Pokémon. After almost an hour of waiting, he stood up upon seeing a middle-aged man in a lab coat with a briefcase approach the fountain and ran up to him.
"Excuse me, are you Professor Sycamore?" Spiral asked.
"Hm?" The man stopped in his tracks. "Yes, I'm the professor. Are you one of the new Trainers I'm supposed to meet today? If so, you're awfully early."
"Wait, 'Trainers'?" Spiral emphasized the 's'.
"Yes, there are also two young ladies coming here today to choose their first Pokémon. You must be the sole boy I'm meeting, Spiral Yuki, correct?"
Spiral nodded with his eyes glistening like stars. "When can we start?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the other two arrive."
"Aaaaaaaawwww…" Spiral drooped in disappointment.
"Um, excuse me?" A soft, shy voice spoke.
Spiral and Prof. Sycamore looked toward the voice and saw a young girl about the same age as Spiral standing by them. She had long, flowing black hair and wore a pink kimono-like shirt with white pants and red shoes.
"I'm…" The girl was squirming in place with her eyes darting about in all directions. "I'm here for my beginner Pokémon. M-my name is Kimiko Kage (Age 10)."
"Ah, right on time." Prof. Sycamore said. "Now we just have to wait for the other girl."
It had been fifteen minutes since Kimiko had arrived and the last Trainer had yet to show up. Spiral was sitting on the bench, restlessly moving his legs.
*What's taking her so long?!* Spiral thought. *I want my Pokémon now! I'd ask if we can just start without her, but that would be selfish of me.*
Spiral looked around to see Professor Sycamore checking his watch and scratching the back of his head and Kimiko standing around patiently.
*How is she not bothered by any of this?* Spiral continued thinking. *We're being held up and she's not the least bit-*
Suddenly, the sound of a large splash behind Spiral caught everyone's attention and their attention was immediately drawn to the fountain. Getting up out of the fountain water was another young girl with dark brown hair tied in double ox buns, dressed in a red cheongsam and black pants with black slip-on shoes. She took a massive deep breath and was panting heavily.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" The girl shouted loudly. "I completely lost track of time!" She stepped out of the fountain, her clothes and hair drenched in water. "You didn't start already, did you?"
"You must be the third Trainer, Xifeng Long (Age 10). And now that you're here, we can finally begin." Prof. Sycamore responded before opening the briefcase he was carrying, took three Poké Balls out of it and threw them into the air.
All three Poké Balls opened and let out three small Pokémon that sat or stood on the edge of the fountain; from left to right they were a hedgehog, a fox and a frog.
"You each will select among these three Pokémon." Prof. Sycamore said. "The Grass-type, Chespin…"
"Chepin!" The green hedgehog-like Pokémon cheered happily.
"The Fire-type, Fennekin…"
"Fenne!" The yellow and red fox Pokémon yipped.
"And the Water-type, Froakie."
"Froa!" The frog Pokémon croaked.
"Spiral, since you got here the earliest, you can choose first." Sycamore said.
"Yes!" Spiral shot up and walked over to the three Pokémon. "I already know who I'm gonna choose!"
Kimiko watched in anticipation while Xifeng slammed her eyes shut and crossed her fingers, hoping he wouldn't choose who she was going to pick.
"I choose…" Spiral said before he picked up one of the Pokémon. "Fennekin!"
"Kin!" Fennekin barked happily and wagged its tail.
Xifeng sighed in relief and relaxed.
"All right, Kimiko, you're next." Sycamore said.
Xifeng went back to closing her eyes and crossing her fingers.
"O-okay…" Kimiko said as she walked over to the two remaining Pokémon. She looked at them for several seconds before making her decision. "I'll choose… Froakie."
"Froakie!" The Froakie leaped onto Kimiko's shoulder.
"Phew, thank goodness…" Xifeng could finally relax again.
"Sounds to me like you really wanted Chespin, Xifeng." Sycamore said.
"Of course I do!" Xifeng said before practically jumping over to Chespin, picking it up and holding it in her arms. "It's my dream to become a Fighting-type master, which makes Chespin my only choice!"
"Oh yeah, when Chespin fully evolves, it becomes a Fighting-type." Spiral stated. "So you're planning to go all around Kalos, beat the Gyms and enter the Kalos League?"
"That's the plan!" Xifeng said.
"Then I'll meet you there." Spiral smiled.
"S-so, you're all entering the Kalos League, too?" Kimiko shyly asked.
"Guess that makes three of us." Spiral said.
"Before you all head out, take these." Sycamore handed each of the new Trainers six Poké Balls, which included those of their starter, and a Pokédex. "Your Pokédex and Poké Balls. These will both be useful in documenting any Pokémon you see or catch for you as well as my research. Any time you want to see me, I'll be at my lab in Lumiose City."
"Thanks, Professor!" Spiral said as he accepted the Pokédex and Poké Balls.
"May you all have a wonderful journey." The professor said to them.
Spiral immediately went back home with his new Fennekin in his arms.
"SPIRAL!"
His mother's voice loudly shouted the moment he opened the door. She came up to the entrance and didn't look happy one bit.
"I told you that you left too early!" Yukimaru scolded him. "And you skipped breakfast for nothing!"
"Sorry, Mom, but I at least got to choose my Pokémon first." Spiral said as he held Fennekin.
"Fennekin!" Fennekin yipped.
"Aw, how cute!" Her demeanor completely changed for an instant. "You can start packing for your journey AFTER you eat your breakfast."
"Okay, Mom." Spiral went inside his house.
After eating breakfast, Spiral packed everything he would need for his journey in a duffle bag, clung his Poké Balls to his belt, placed his Pokédex in his right pocket and his wallet in his left and took one long last look at his bedroom.
"I won't be sleeping in my bed for a while…" He muttered to himself. "I'm going to miss it…"
Fennekin jumped onto Spiral's shoulder. "Fen?"
"If you still want to just stay home, you can."
Spiral turned around and saw his mother standing by the door with her Froslass and Ninetales.
"I know… But I won't be able to become a Pokémon Trainer like you." Spiral said.
"Remember what I told you about my first Pokémon?" Yukimaru asked.
"How could I not?" Spiral replied. "You said you were born in Snowpoint City all the way in the Sinnoh region and your first Pokémon was a Snorunt."
Yukimaru then frowned. "That Snorunt… was my only family."
"Huh?"
"I was an orphan, and I was completely ignored by everyone in town… One day, I tried leaving for another town and got myself caught in a terrible blizzard. The extreme cold was getting to me and I was beginning to lose consciousness… Until I was greeted by a Snorunt that lead me to a cave before I passed out. It even went so far as to make a fire. An Ice-type was willing to expose itself to fire just to save my life. Ever since then, I've been grateful to Snorunt and we set out on our journey together." She petted her Froslass's head. "I'm sorry I never told you the whole story, but I wanted to tell you just so you know how lucky you are to have me as your mother. And how much it saddens me that you're growing up like this."
Yukimaru began tearing up.
"D… Don't cry, Mom." Spiral came up and hugged Yukimaru.
"I…" She started sobbing and hugging him back very tightly. "I just… love you… so much…"
"And I love you, too, Mom."
Yukimaru managed to keep her tears from getting out and looked at Fennekin.
"Promise me you'll keep Spiral safe, okay, Fennekin?" Yukimaru requested.
"Fennekin!" Fennekin nodded.
Spiral and Fennekin were already at the edge of Aquacorde Town, in the direction of Santalune Forest. Spiral looked toward Fenneking, who was sitting on his shoulder again.
"Are you ready, Fennekin?" Spiral asked.
"Fennekin!" Fennekin happily and confidently yipped in response.
"Then let's go!" Spiral ran off toward Santalune Forest, his journey about to start.
