Chapter 1: First Pokemon and a dream…
"Dominic! Wake up you are going to be late!!" A strong voice yelled from down stairs, a young boy with shoulder length hair had risen out of bed and looked at his alarm clock it was already 9:30.
"Oh crap!! Thanks dad!" The boy yelled back and quickly dressed, he threw on his favorite light blue tee-shirt and gray cargo pants, he then started to run out the door and then went back to his room grabbing a navy blue back pack.
The boy ran down the stairs and ran up to the dinner table food was sitting on the table.
"Dominic, you really have to stop being so reckless you know that." A man said he looked a bit like Dominic but only older and a bit more built.
"I-I know dad I am sorry." Dominic said as he took a bit of food.
"On top of that have you chosen what you are going to be doing for your adventure yet?" Dominic's father asked.
"No sir." Dominic said timidly as he looked at his plate.
"Well here I took the liberty of getting you your first Pokemon and Pokedex." Dominic's father said as he handed his son a red and white ball.
"Wow! Really thanks dad!! I wonder what it is I hope it's a Munchlax or even a Teddiursa." Dominic said as he looked to the sky thinking about what Pokemon it could be.
"Well it's not. It's a Feebas." Dominic's father said after taking a swig of juice.
"WHAT!! A Feebas! That's as bad as a Magikarp!" Dominic yelled.
"Exactly, I got you something that was to your level." His father said glaring at his son.
"B-but…" Dominic said as he looked at his father his hair falling in front of his eyes.
"You are a horrible cook anyway so what Munchlax would want to eat what you cook anyway. On top of that you are a pig when it comes to sweets so who knows what would happen to you if you didn't give Teddiursa any honey anyway." The father said insultingly.
"I…I guess your right…" Dominic said softly as he got up and grabbed his Pokedex, he then looked over at a photo of a young woman with a Snorlax and then smiled.
"Wish me luck mom I will make you proud." Dominic said.
"Dominic before you go here I want you to take this." His father said.
He handed his son a gold locket.
"It was your mothers and I am sure she would want you to have it for your journey."
"Thanks dad." Dominic said happily.
"You're welcome, just don't come home crying like you always did when you were going to school after your first loss you hear me." Dominic's father commanded.
"Eh!? You really know how to ruin a tender moment you know that…" Dominic said growling.
Dominic then put on the necklace and walked out the door.
A bit later Dominic was out on the road still growling to himself about his father.
"Sometimes I swear that man gets on my nerves why did mom have to leave in the first place anyway…" Dominic huffed.
Suddenly a round green Pokemon with spikes hopped past and looked at Dominic.
"Caaaa…." The Pokemon growled holding it's hands up at the boy.
"Hum? A Cacnea, I'm no where near a desert what is one doing all the way out here?" Dominic thought to himself.
At that instant a barrage of needles was shot right at him.
"AAH!!" Dominic yelled running away the Cacnea was still in pursuit of him.
"What do I do!? What do I do!?" He yelled.
He then stopped and turned around, "Wait I know! Go Feebas!!" Dominic yelled and threw the poke-ball.
The ball popped and a white light came out of it, there lying on the ground gasping for what seemed to be breath laid a brown a blue fish with black spots on it.
"I forgot…Feebas can't battle without water." Dominic said sweating.
Cacnea got closer and started to swing its arm.
"OH NO NOT A NEEDLE ARM!!" Dominic yelled and closed his eyes.
Out of no where a blue beam shot at Cacnea freezing it.
Dominic opened his eyes and saw the Cacnea frozen and Feebas fine.
"Hum Feebas did you do that?" Dominic asked looking at the poor fish.
"Fee…bas…" The ugly looking fish said lightly.
"I take that as a yes." Dominic said.
"Alright return." Dominic said as a red beam shot out at Feebas returning it to its poke-ball.
"Now as for you Cacnea, here is an Ice Heal but you have to promise me you won't attack travelers on this road again." Dominic said.
"Cac…Cacnea!" Cacnea said nodding after it was defrosted.
"Now you be good you hear me." Dominic said as he walked off.
Cacnea waved goodbye to Dominic and hopped off.
As Dominic continued his journey it was already noon, he was just a few miles away from Cherry Grove City, "Man am I hungry…" Dominic thought to himself as he held his stomach he then heard a splash from the river near by.
"Hum what was that?" he thought as he ran towards the sound.
Dominic walked up to a camp sight and looked around.
"I could have sworn I heard that noise from hear." Dominic said looking around.
Suddenly a giant steam of water had jetted from the river and a young boy around Dominic's age was standing on the top, he was in a pair of black trunks and had a nice build to him, his blonde hair dripping a bit, he then hopped off of the water spout top and made a graceful dive into the water.
Then a couple of moments later the boy came up out of the water standing on a Wailmer. His blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight as the water that had splashed shined past them.
"Ah that was perfect Wailmer." The blond boy said.
Dominic was amazed at the performance, and clapped wildly.
"Hum? Oh hi there I didn't see you there." The blonde boy said as he got off of Wailmer and grabbed a towel drying him-self.
"That was amazing!" Dominic complemented.
"Hum that? That was nothing." The other boy said laughing.
"No really I haven't seen a performance like that since I was a kid and saw the Water Pokemon Ballet in Cerulean City back in Kento!" Dominic exclaimed happily.
"Um thanks…but would you mind letting go of my hand." The other boy laughed smiling.
"Hum? OH I AM SO SORRY!!" Dominic said shocked and pulled his hand away blushing.
"It's alright, anyway my name is Brad." The blond boy said.
"H-hi I am Dominic." The black haired boy said blushing even deeper.
"So what are you doing here in the middle of nowhere Dominic?" Brad asked.
"M-me!? Um well I was just traveling to Cherry Grove City; I just became a Pokemon trainer." Dominic said.
"Really now? That's awesome I just started yesterday." Brad laughed.
"Y-you did?" Dominic stuttered out.
"Hah, yeah I just caught my first wild Pokemon today too." Brad said smiling.
"Oh that's cool I only have a Feebas my dad gave me today. I did run into a Cacnea today though." Dominic nodded.
"Hum a Feebas hum?" Brad said thinking.
"Hey were you even listing to me!?" Dominic yelled.
"Oh sorry heh, I was just thinking would you like to have a one on one water Pokemon battle?" Brad asked.
"Uh sure…?" Dominic said looking at him.
"Alright do you have a pair of trunks on you?" Brad asked smiling.
"What? Yeah I do but…" Dominic started.
"Alright go ahead and use my tent to change into your trunks and then meet me back here." Brad said nodding.
"A-alright." Dominic said blushing and went to change.
When Dominic went into the tent and zipped it up he pulled out his trunks they were blue like his shirt was, he started to change and noticed Brad's cloths next to a sleeping bag, crumpled up in the corner was a white tee-shirt, a pair of black baggy jeans and a pair of black tennis shoes.
"I guess he's not as dressy as I thought he was." Dominic said to himself as he tied the draw string on his trunks.
He then got out of the tent and looked at Brad, compared to Brad and his father Dominic was one of the skinniest people he knew.
"Here take this and fallow me into the lake." Brad said as he handed Dominic an oxygen supply mouth piece with a water proof speaker on it.
Brad then put in his, ran to the water and dived in.
Dominic did as he was told and fallowed behind Brad.
Once they were underwater to where they could see a glimmer of light Brad threw a poke-ball and it popped releasing a white light. A soon as the light dispelled a blue and white puffer fish appeared, "Qwil!" It said as it puffed up.
"Meet my Qwilfish." Brad said winking.
"Um go Feebas!" Dominic said as he threw the ball and the ball popped.
Feebas was floating there calmly as it just sat there.
"Alright Qwilfish let's go! Use your Poison Jab!" Brad commanded.
Qwilfish puffed up and shot off purple spikes.
"Feebas move out of the way and use Tackle attack!" Dominic yelled.
Feebas moved out of the way quickly and swam towards Qwilfish.
POW!! The attack sent Qwilfish into a rock.
"Not bad Dominic but this isn't over yet," Brad said "now use Pin Missile".
Qwilfish inhaled water and spikes shout out from all over its body.
Feebas was hit three times yet it could still fight.
"Alright Feebas use Ice Beam!!" Dominic yelled as he pointed at Qwilfish.
A blue beam started to form from Feebas' mouth yet it shorted and went out like a light.
"Hum okay then let's finish this up with a Take Down!" Brad commanded, Qwilfish nodded and then swam swiftly towards Feebas and knocked it out.
"Feebas come on back." Dominic said as the red beam came out of the poke-ball and returned Feebas.
"You too Qwilfish." Brad said and did the same.
They both swam up to the surface and dried off.
"You know you're Feebas is really powerful you just need to work on that ice beam of yours and it would be great." Brad said as he dried his hair.
"I guess…" Dominic sighed.
"Here feed this to your Feebas." Brad said he had gotten into his bag and pulled out a few blue poke-block.
"What is this?" Dominic asked blankly.
"You don't know what Poke-block is?" Brad giggled.
"Not really…" Dominic bushed wildly.
"Poke-block will help your Feebas evolve into a Milotic and when it dose it will be even stronger. Not only that but it will bring the beauty of your Feebas out and help you in Pokemon Contests." Brad explained.
Dominic thought back and remembered the display that Brad had done when he first got to Brad's camp sight.
"Ah so dose that mean that you are a Pokemon Coordinator!!??" Dominic asked surprised.
"Yep, and I am on my way to Cherry Grove City for my first ribbon." Brad said winking.
"That is awesome." Dominic said with amazement.
"So witch way are you headed?" Brad asked.
"I…I am actually headed the same way as you are." Dominic said blushing.
"Sweet then we can head there together." Brad clapped.
"S-sure…" Dominic nodded.
They changed and packed up; after they did everything they needed the headed to Cherry Grove City.
A few hours later they got to Cherry Grove City, the streets were lined with millions of businesses, cars, and people.
"Welcome to Cherry Grove City, pal." Brad said as they walked down the street.
"W-wow I don't remember half of this stuff." Dominic said.
He had been to Cherry Grove City plenty of times with his mom when he was little but that was when it was just starting out he remembered how he, his mother, and his mother's Munchlax would walk around looking at different things.
"Hey there dork!" A voice said from behind them.
They both turned and an older boy with a Gligar sitting on his shoulder was standing behind them. The boy had long blond hair just like Brad, a black muscle shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and tan tennis shoes on.
"Not you…" Brad sighed.
"Brad do you know this guy?" Dominic asked.
"Yeah it's my older brother Blake…" Brad sighed.
"What took you so long to get here bro?" Blake taunted.
"I was practicing." Brad growled.
"What how to pleaser your boyfriend over there?" Blake laughed at his own pathetic joke as well as his Gligar did too.
"I AM NOT HIS BOYFRIEND!!" Dominic yelled at the top of his lungs blushing.
Gligar and Blake stopped laughing; he walked up to Dominic and grabbed him by his shirt.
"You got something to say to me punk?" Blake asked growling.
Dominic looked up at the burning eyes of Blake in fear.
"Blake, let him go!" Brad said as he grabbed his older brother's shoulder.
"And what if I don't?" Blake asked growling.
"Then I will have to take matters into my own hands." Brad said as he pulled out his poke-ball.
"Oh so you want to battle hum alright then let's go." Blake said tossing Dominic aside like he was garbage.
Dominic skidded across the ground and hit his arm hard on the wall of a building.
"Ugh…"Dominic held back the pain.
"Go Gligar!" Blake yelled.
"Go Wailmer! Use Water gun!" Brad commanded as Wailmer inhaled and shot off a stream of water from its mouth at Gligar.
"Gligar soar and then come down with a Fury Cutter." Blake said.
"Gligar…gli!" Gligar said as it flew up into the air and came down hitting Wailmer hard.
"WAILMER!!" Wailmer yelled in pain.
"Come on Wailmer calm down, and use Bounce." Brad said.
Wailmer jumped up in the air and came down at a fast fall.
"Quick Gligar harden!" Blake said.
Gligar quickly stiffened and held its ground once Wailmer fell on top of it.
"Now use Metal Claw then fallow up with X-scissor." Blake said as he pointed.
"GLIIIIII! GAR!" Gligar screeched and its claws began to glow.
It slashed at Wailmer and sent it flying knocking it out.
"Wailmer return." Brad said as he reached for his next poke-ball.
"Brad…stop please. You know Qwilfish won't survive two seconds without any water." Dominic said as he held his arm.
"D-D-Dominic…" Brad said surprised at Dominic's actions.
"Now why don't you just go on your way Blake and stop being a jerk to your younger brother!! Big brothers are supposed to be loving and protective to their siblings not mean and hateful!" Dominic yelled at Blake.
Blake's eyebrow twitched and he pulled out a poke-ball "Gligar, come back." Blake sneered.
He then walked up to his little brother and smirked.
"I'll leave but not until I take my prize for winning." Blake said and grabbed Brad's poke-ball.
"H-hey that's mine!" Brad yelled as he saw the poke-ball become his brothers now.
"Not anymore this Wailmer is mine now." Blake laughed as he walked off.
Brad looked down sadly he was too weak to stop his brother from stealing his Pokemon, and too weak to protect Dominic from getting hurt.
"Brad, I'm fine there's no reason to get upset and don't worry when we run into Blake next time we will get Wailmer back." Dominic said as he looked at his friend.
"Come on we better get to a Pokemon Center." Brad said as he walked off.
Dominic fallowed Brad to a giant building with a big "P" on it.
"Hello and welcome to the Pokemon Center how may we help you today?" A pink haired lady asked from behind a counter.
The Pokemon Center was full of trainers with their Pokemon chatting.
"Could you please heal mine and my friends Pokemon, Nurse Joy?" Brad asked he suddenly had that same smile and happiness on his face that he did when Dominic first met him.
"Of course, place your Pokemon on the tray please." Nurse Joy said as she pulled out a tray with six circular slots on it.
They both pulled out the poke-balls that contained their Pokemon and put them on the tray.
"Now if you will wait just a few minuets we will have them haled in no time." Nurse Joy said smiling.
Dominic and Brad walked over to the waiting area and sat down.
"Hey Brad, can I ask you something?" Dominic asked.
"Sure what is it?" Brad replied.
"What happened to you, first before we got to the Pokemon Center you were down in the dumps then once we got here you were super happy again." Dominic said.
"Oh that I was just thinking of what you said to me earlier and I am glad that I have a traveling partner like you." Brad said laughing.
"You truly are a strange one Brad." Dominic said looking at him.
At that instant Nurse Joy walked up to them, "Here are you're poke-balls and be sure to come back soon." Nurse Joy said smiling.
The giant television suddenly blasted, "And that was the demonstration of our favorite gym leader here in Violet City." A woman with orange hair said as she smiled.
"Thank you and I hope to see everyone at the next Pokemon Contest here in Violet City." A young man with blue hair covering one eye said.
The young man was wearing a light blue kimono and navy blue wristbands.
"Who is that?" Dominic asked looking at the television.
"That's the Violet City gym leader Falkner. He will be judging the next Pokemon contest in Violet City next week." Nurse Joy explained.
"Wait next week? Dose that mean that I missed the one here!?" Brad asked astonished.
"Oh my yes that was today I am so sorry it was an amazing competition and the winner was an older boy who looked kind of like you. I think his name was Blake." Nurse Joy said with a smile.
"Aw man that means my brother got his first ribbon and is making his way to the next contest…"Brad sighed lightly.
"We still have time to register and we will both be entering this compotation." Dominic said excitedly.
"That's grate but um do you mind letting go of my hand again." Brad said laughing.
"AH! I'm s-s-s-so sorry." Dominic said blushing and pulling his hand away.
"It's all good but are you sure you want to enter a Pokemon contest all you have is Feebas." Brad said.
"We have time and hopefully Feebas will be evolved by then and I will have more Pokemon." Dominic said.
"Oh that's right, Dominic I hope you don't mind but I fed your Feebas some pokeblock and Pofin. I hope you don't mind it looks even more beautiful now." Nurse Joy said.
"Really, um Nurse Joy do you have a pool for water Pokemon somewhere?" Dominic asked.
"Yes it's out back." Nurse Joy said and showed the boys where it was.
Once out near the pool Dominic tossed the Poke-ball and out popped Feebas in a beautiful glimmering light.
"Wow it is more beautiful then before." Brad said.
"Yeah it is. Right so then this is official now I am going to become a Pokemon Coordinator and prove to my father that I am not some seconded rate trainer!" Dominic said happily.
