GoggleMaster01- Here it is, my first attempt at Pokémon fanfiction! Pokémon belongs to Nintendo/GAMEFREAK, not me, though the main character is mine. This is Journeyfic, so if you absolutely hate Journeyfic, turn back now, but you don't know what you're missing. (Although it's really Ash's journey, not the OC's journey- she travels around with Ash for most of the fic.) Okay, enjoy Ruby, Sapphire and Yellow!
Crack Pokédex Entry of the Day: Mudkip- The Mud Fish Pokémon
Its popularity was raised due to the phrase "so I herd u like mudkipz". No one knows the origin of the phrase except the Mudkips themselves. They seem to forget this information upon evolution into Marshtomp
Chapter 1
Awakening in a New Place
It was a normal day in a New Jersey elementary school. The time- recess- the best part of a kid's day. There was a big grassy field with a hill, a small playground and a blacktop where kids were often confined to on rainy days.
One girl was alone in the field, wandering around a big grassy hill. She had brown hair, and her brown eyes stared off into the distance. She was wearing a green and blue T-shirt with a yellow thunderbolt, jeans and Adidas sneakers. The fifth-grader never found anything better to do at this time except wander around this hill and pick the grass apart.
Suddenly, right in front of the girl, a purple mist began to form. It began to swirl in front of her and grow bigger and bigger. Curiously, the girl walked up to the mist. By this point, the mist was a huge purple vortex, sucking in anything in the surrounding area with tremendous force.
Including the girl herself.
She dug her nails into the dirt to try and stay grounded, but that was futile. She was sucked into the big purple thing. Once she was sucked in, the purple vortex closed, and all was peaceful again.
"Where-where am I?" The girl sat up, rubbing her head.
"Welcome! Kippu!" came a childish voice.
"Huh?" The girl looked around, but couldn't see anything. "Over here. Kippu!" came the voice. The girl looked down at her lap- and saw the single weirdest thing she had ever seen! It was blue all over, except for its orange cheeks, which looked like fish fins.
"Have you never seen a Pokémon before? Kippu!" said the creature.
"AH! AHHHHH!" The girl had a heart attack. She flung the Pokemon off of her and ran away. She stopped when she was sure it was far behind her. Then, she looked around.
The girl was not on the field any more. She was now in a small town. There were several rows of small houses and shops and people busily running everywhere. In the center of town, a large, dome shaped building towered above the rest. It looked like it was from the future, and was out-of-place among the simple houses.
"Where am I?" the girl asked, still staring at the dome-shaped building.
"There you are, Mudkip!" came a boy's voice. The girl spun around to see a boy about her age with brown hair and a blue sweatshirt pick up the strange blue creature. "Enough running around. Now back to your Poke Ball." He pulled a small red and white ball with a small shiny button out of his pocket and pressed the button. The ball opened, and a red light shot and enveloped Mudkip.
"Why don't you understand? Kippu!" Mudkip cried. He vanished into the ball. And the girl was just staring in disbelief.
The boy walked up to her, his green eyes curious. "You're looking at me like you've never seen a Trainer and their Pokémon in your life," he said.
"Pokerman?" The girl had no clue what was going on.
The boy slapped his forehead. "No, it's pronounced Pokémon! That's short for pocket monsters! They're creatures that live in forests, lakes and caves. Us Trainers catch them with these Poké Balls-" here, he held up the thing he sucked Mudkip into
"-and train 'em to fight other Pokémon."
"That sounds mean," the girl said. She felt bad for the Pokémon. She knew that SHE'D never want to travel in a Poké Ball and fight other Pokémon at a human's command.
"Well, it may be mean, but it's life," the boy said. "Wild Pokémon are everywhere outside of Littleroot Town, and some of 'em are kind of mean. You need Pokémon of your own for protection, or you won't get very far."
The girl thought for a bit. She'd never heard of Littleroot Town. It wasn't in New Jersey, that was for sure. How far was from home she?! If she was ever going to get home, she needed to leave this town. To do that, she needed one of these Pokémon.
"Where do I get a Pokerman?" the girl asked.
"You go to Old Man Birch's lab in the center of town," the boy said. "It's the big shiny building. Can't miss it." With that, he turned to go.
"Wait!" the girl ran up to her new friend. "Now what does she want?" the boy muttered under his breath. "My name's Amber. What's your name?"
Grumbling, the boy said, "It's Hireki. Now go away!" With that, Hireki stormed off, leaving Amber in the dust.
Deciding that Hireki didn't really want to be bothered anymore, Amber toddled off in the direction of the dome-shaped building she'd seen before. "Pokerman, Pokerman, I'm gonna get a Pokerman!" she sang. Everyone stared at her as she ran through town, knocking over a merchant's stand.
"Hey, jerk, watch out! You-you pick up these Oran Berries right now, or you're going to be paying for them big time!" the merchant yelled. But Amber was pretty much gone.
From the top of Sky Pillar, Rayquaza watched the young girl on his many monitors. He growled. "This isn't the child we were searching for!" he cried, banging his tiny clawed hands on the monitor.
A purple mist floated around the room and then formed into a Pokémon. He was a light red and blue and had long stringy arms.
"Lord Rayquaza, the child you asked for has been sent here," he said.
"Deoxys, you moron, you got the wrong child!" Rayquaza fumed.
Deoxys began to panic. He'd already forgotten to give Rayquaza his coffee, and the Sky High Pokémon was really, really angry with him already. It didn't do any good to make him madder.
"My lord, I believe I got the right one…" Deoxys began.
"No, you didn't," Rayquaza said. "And I know mainly because the Chosen Child is a BOY WITH BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE EYES! Not a girl with brown hair and brown eyes!"
Deoxys gulped. How off the mark could he be? He waited for Rayquaza to smite him.
Instead, he said, "We'll have to make do," but smoke was coming out of his nostrils. The Pokémon was trying hard to avoid ripping Deoxys to pieces. "She will have to stop Groudon's rampage."
Deoxys gulped. Groudon was a Pokémon created to expand the earth should there ever be a great flood. But, the Ground-type went rouge, saying he would overthrow Rayquaza and take over Hoenn. He destroyed all of Rayquaza's guards except Kyogre, who fled to the seas, and proved that he now out-muscled Rayquaza.
Rayquaza sent Deoxys to the Human World to pick out a child who was ten years old who could understand Pokémon as they did people. But, instead of Carlos, the boy he was supposed to get, Deoxys got this turtlehead who was prancing through town talking about Pokerman. How in the world was SHE supposed to stop the powerful Groudon, a Pokémon that had gotten stronger than Rayquaza?
"Poochyena!" Rayquaza howled for one of his new helpers. A small Pokémon that resembled a gray wolf ran to Rayquaza's feet. "Go with Deoxys to Littleroot Town," he said to the Poochyena. "When you see the girl, attack her. Test her." Poochyena nodded and hopped on Deoxys's head.
"Now, Deoxys, if you fail me again," Rayquaza snarled, "You'll be walking around with a cane for the rest of your days! The fate of all of Hoenn lies in your hands. Don't mess it up!"
Deoxys looked down at his arms. He didn't have any hands.
"What are you standing there for, fool? GO!" Rayquaza cried.
Deoxys held tight to Poochyena and dissolved into purple mist. He was going to Littleroot Town. He was going to test the girl. Would she prove herself and save Hoenn? Or would Rayquaza kill her and, more importantly, HIM?
Deoxys sighed. It was going to be a long trip to town.
GoggleMaster01- Like the ficcy? Don't worry, I'm still doing "A New Life". I just thought it would be cool to have a second fic up. So, until Chapter 2, I must go.
