MY Pokémon Journey?
After putting in my name to restart the Pokémon Red Version that I had, I got sucked into the world of the game. Yet for some reason, things aren't adding up.
Author's Note : This is an odd idea that came to me when the idea of the Pokegirl thing was suggested for my other new fic, Naruto Chronicle. Don't get me wrong, I still intend to make Naruto go to the Pokémon world, since I already have a solid idea of when, where and who he would meet when the story got to that point. I just decided to write this thing about myself under the OC name I've been using since I thought it'd be fun to try. The problem is that I didn't want to write something explicit like the Pokegirl stories I found on this site since I wouldn't be good at it. I decided to instead stick in certain Digimon that I know into the story that would evolve into forms that resembled female humans, making this a Digimon X Pokémon crossover. It'll come off weird for sure, but let's just see how it goes and how you readers would feel about it. Give the idea a try, it may not be that horrible. Anyway, please R & R, thanks!
Chapter 1 : Sucked into a Game? Surfing Training, First Trainer Battle, Rivalry Born
"Man, this sucks! Blasted screen had to go and crack on me, now I'm laptop-less for a week. Come on, where the hell did I put that thing? Ah, there we go. Good old Game Boy Color, and my old Pokémon games too. I don't even remember the last time I touched these things, may as well start fresh. I could always play the good games first. Nah, since I don't remember where I saved on any of them, I'll just start with Red. It's my favorite color anyway." I grabbed the respective game cartridge with my favorite evolved starter, put it into the GBC, which was plugged into the AC adapter, and I turned it on.
"Come on, come on! Damn logo, I don't care. Let me start already. Fast text speed, or I'd fall asleep listening to people talk in slow-mo. Yes, that's nice, stop talking already!" I kept pressing the B button so that I didn't type in a name of Bs by mistake. "Let's see, I always put in Protoman. I've been using that OC name in my fanfics and made him interesting in each one, so why not? Liu Yuuki, there!"
I frowned at seeing the picture of my rival, who I have to name also. "I'd name him by what I always call the second guy I come across, but he doesn't deserve that name. Naming him by color's too weird, let's just keep his name as is from the anime. Good thing he doesn't have cheerleaders like he does in the show, or I would be so ticked."
Once I put in his name, I kept hitting B, ready to start playing. As I saw my character's picture shrink down to a sprite however, the screen suddenly glowed brighter than it should. "What the? I read that kids from Japan got sick from watching some Pokémon anime episode, but never from a game. Ah!" The light grew bright until it blinded me and enveloped the room. When the light died down, the only thing left in the room was my GBC dropping on my desk, still playing. I was gone. Good thing I bought a power plug, or I'd be screwed. If anybody in my house came and turned the game off, I could live with that being just bad luck since mine usually was, but I really hated the idea of dying or being trapped forever from batteries running out of juice.
When I could see again, I opened my eyes and found myself in a room like my own. Only I was standing in front of a TV screen, attached to a Super Nintendo. "What the fuck was that? That was like what I saw in Digimon 02. But this is no Digital World, or is it? My room looks about the same, but my Game Boy's nowhere in sight. I don't have my desktop in my room either. What gives?"
I looked outside, surprised to see what appeared to be Pallet Town, from what I remembered from the anime. I was certain that I was in the Pokémon once I saw a Fearow cawing on another building's roof. I stepped back, still trying to figure out what was going on.
I slapped myself in the face to make sure that I wasn't dreaming. "Ow, well that hurt, so this is real. I would've preferred to go to another game's world, but I can live with this. Let's see…" I first looked at myself, seemingly back to when I just hit puberty, around 13 years old. I was wearing a gray shirt, jeans and socks, my usual choice for an outfit whenever I didn't have work. I walked up to a mirror and looked at myself. "Same glasses, same messy hair. Oh well. At least I'm not wearing that stupid cap. My hair's messy enough on its own, I don't need hat hair making it worse. Well as long as I'm stuck here, I may as well become a trainer. Traveling, catching Pokémon and kicking ass sure beats work."
I walked up to my desk to pick up the backpack next to it, checking my inventory. "Hmm… not bad. I've even got stuff in capsules like the ones from Dragon Ball in here (thanks to the creator, rest in peace). Definitely better than one lousy Potion," Speaking of which, I checked my desktop to see rather it was in there, and indeed there was one, which I promptly withdrew, and out the item came, popping out of a slot that I thought was for CDs. Eh, details. Making sure that I had everything I needed, I checked the time on my cell phone, only to find that it was 5:15 AM. Damn I hardly ever wake up that early. Maybe I could get my starter before Gary (Don't know his Japanese name) showed up? With the hopes of doing so, I ran upstairs from my room in the basement and out the door, but not without noticing that the house was empty.
As I ran towards Professor Oak's Laboratory, I thought, 'Sweet. At least I have the house all to myself if I go back, but why does the town look like it does in the anime? I thought this is the game,' I ended my train of thought as I found myself at the lab's door.
I went through the automatic doors, to find the front of the place empty, devoid of the supposed aides in the game missing. 'Either they're not here because I'm early, or this place is a mix of the games and anime. In that case, what choices do I have? The three starters, them and Pikachu, or just it and Eevee? Heck, maybe I can even get his Charmeleon or Dragonite! Nah, that's a bit over the top. Guess I'll find out,' I snapped out of my thoughts, as I found the doc working in front of a computer.
I tapped his shoulder to get his attention, which did the trick, as he jumped a bit, until he turned around to see me. "Oh, it's just you Yuuki. You're an early bird this morning. None of the others are here yet." 'He talks to me as if he knew me for years. Guess it's just the background for the player. Whatever, let's just get what I came for before he talks me to death.'
He led me over to another room, saying that I could have first pick since I was REALLY early. And sure enough, I saw the circular console from the anime, with the three starters' Poke Balls on top, and a circle in the center empty.
"Well which would you like Yuuki? There's-" I didn't hear the rest as I was deep in thought about which to choose. 'Well it looks like it's the anime scenario. I'd take all four, but I'd never get away with it, and I'm not evil enough to do that. Oh well, at least I get to take Satoshi's (Ash Ketchum is an obvious pun that I hate) Pikachu. Gomen (Sorry) man, but it's your fault for oversleeping.' "Say doc, isn't there a 4th Poke Ball underneath the center slot there? Can I have that one instead?"
Oak replied, mystified, "Well I guess you can, but how did you know that? Besides, that Pokémon's not tam-" "Trust me doc, I can handle it. Just let me use your bathroom real quick, be right back," Confused by my strange actions, he just nodded and pressed a button to reveal the Poke Ball, while I ran off to change.
I came out in an all-rubber outfit, even rubber goggles to cover my glasses. "Interesting choice of attire Yuuki, but why did yo-?" "You'll see. Now let me meet my starter." I walked forward to press the button on the Poke Ball with the lightning symbol, and out came Satoshi's infamous Pikachu.
I tried to touch him, and as no surprise, he tried to shock me, only to find that his attack had no effect. I smirked as I put up my hands. "Rubber gloves. You can shock me all day, it wouldn't do a thing." He huffed and turned the other cheek in annoyance. Oak spoke in amazement, "Clever move, using rubber to block off the electricity. But how did you know?"
I fibbed as convincingly as I could, "Well I saw you catching him the other day, and I thought you may train him to become a starter. Let me give it a try," At this, Pikachu stuck out his tongue at me, until he saw me hand him an open bottle of ketchup. He sniffed the top, gave it a lick, then snatched the bottle from me and started sucking the rest of it out.
Oak watched Pikachu with interest and said, "Fascinating. I didn't know that Pikachus have a preference for ketchup, or perhaps this one's a special case? It's certainly feistier than most Pikachus I've come across." "That's nice," I replied in a bored tone before turning my attention to the electric mouse. "If you agree to work with me, I have more for you just so long it's not all you eat. And I'll train you to become the best Pikachu in the world. What do you say aibo (partner)?" I took off one glove and held out the unprotected hand, he turned to face me, sniffed it until his ears perked up, and returned the handshake with his paw.
Oak smiled at the sight. Before he went into lecture mode, I spoke, "Doc, can I get my Pokedex so we can get going?" He refrained from what he was going to say and replied, "Of course Yuuki, you're curt as always, right to the point." He was off for a few moments and came back, Poke Balls and Pokedex in hand. I thanked him, and we promptly left, aibo walking behind me. As he watched us off, he thought, 'He even knew that this one preferred to walk free. He'll be a great trainer.'
We kept walking until we reached the river in town. I sat down, reached into my pack for another ketchup bottle and a Super Rod, handed the ketchup to aibo and began fishing, once I checked with my Pokedex what I could find in town. "Eat or drink up, whatever. Once you're done, we'll start warming up by catching a few Water Pokémon, then we'll get to some real training." He "Pika!"-ed in agreement, then began on his breakfast.
A few minutes after he finished, we got our first bite. It was a good start, as we caught our first four Pokémon with ease, thanks to the type advantage aibo had. Magikarp didn't even require any effort to catch, since all it could do is flop around helplessly. Even Tentacool, the only other Water Pokémon uncomfortable out of water, tried to fight back by spurting some acid at aibo.
After a quick trip to Oak's lab to let me first captures heal, as he had better equipment than me for quicker recovery, aibo and I moved as far downstream as we could on foot to begin his training. He was confused by what we were doing so close to the sea, until I whipped out the Hidden Machine for Surf and a surfboard. I said, "Aibo. Most people know that Pikachus like you are known for your electric attacks and speed, but not many can use a Water type attack. So that's what we're going to do. You need to have a variety in your arsenal to catch your opponents off guard, right?" He nodded. "Then let's get started!"
It took us the rest of the morning, but aibo finally began to get the hang of it, able to ride a small wave of water effectively, soaking the grass nearby. After a hard-earned lunch back at home, we headed back over to Oak's lab to pick up the rest of our team. Unfortunately, on our way out of the lab, I ran into the person that I hated the most out of the Pokémon continuity, just above to a trio of bumbling idiots at the bottom of the barrel.
Gary was being his arrogant self, bragging to the crowd with his cheerleaders. The late Satoshi just arrived and was in the middle of being insulted by him. We were going to pass right by, but hearing his pompous boasting, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey pretty boy, are you training Pokémon or your fan club? Quit picking on the guy already!" The crowd turned their attention to us, and Gary spoke, "Well well, if it isn't Yuuki-boy. Gramps said that you got here early and got your first Pokémon already, so what're you doing still hanging around here? Decided that you aren't cut out to be a Pokémon Master like me?" A vein showed on both aibo's head and mine. Sparks were coming out of his cheeks, as he was about to walk forward until I held out my hand, signaling him to stand back. I retorted, "For your information, I stopped by to pick up the four Pokémon that I spent half my morning to catch in town. What is your excuse? Too busy having your fan girls jerk you off?"
The two boys looked surprised, while Gary and the fan girl brigade were blushing red at what I was implying. "Grr, I've about had it with you and your smart mouth. Let's battle!" "My sentiments exactly, let's see if you're as good at battling as you are at being a blowhard."
Gary sent out Squirtle, his starter. Aibo was about to step forward to fight, but I shook my head. "Sorry aibo. I know you can win easily, but I don't want him to have an excuse for us whooping because of the type advantage. I'll let you fight next time, all right?" He grudgingly agreed, knowing my attentions.
"Let's see how good you are when you don't have a type advantage, go Poliwag!" I called out the young tadpole, as it was a Water Pokémon facedown in my first trainer battle.
"Squirtle, don't let that freshly caught wimp intimidate you. Tackle it!" The turtle Pokémon followed Gary's order without question, the sign of a tamed starter Pokémon.
"Ha! Not at that snail's pace you won't. Poliwag, use your tail to propel yourself into the air!" It complied, dodging the attack with ease.
Gary looked surprised by the unusual tactic, but was interrupted by me before he could call out his next command, as I wanted to test if Pokémon here could do attacks beyond their level limitation. "Now, Doubleslap as you come down!"
It did as I asked, and made 5 hard slaps to Squirtle's face before it got away. Seeing his only Pokémon wounded, Gary decided to try a defensive move for some breathing room. "Squirtle, use Withdraw!"
The turtle Pokémon followed the order as it drew back into its shell. Now that I knew that I could ask them to do any attack they knew, I smirked and said, "Predictable. With your Pokémon staying still, we have this won! Poliwag, let's get our first win! Keep Body Slamming it!"
At first, Gary smiled as the attacks seemed to have been absorbed by Squirtle's natural defense. Cheers turned to gasps however, when the turtle Pokémon came out of its shell with Xs on its eyes, having fainted.
Aibo and I cheered as we ran up and I grabbed Poliwag into a hug, praising it for our first victory. The crowd was in shock, that the grandson renowned Pokémon expert of their town was defeated by a fellow new trainer. Satoshi walked over to us and asked, "How, how did you do that? I thought that trained Pokémon were stronger than freshly caught wild Pokémon."
I went into a lecture mode of my own. "That's true, but pretty boy didn't take into account of two things. One, he himself did no training per say, with his Pokémon. Just calling out attacks without strategy doesn't work in the long run. Two, he didn't bother to check how much stronger my Poliwag was than his first Pokémon. Starters are usually only at level 5, and my Poliwag was at level 15. Even if he had his turtle hide in the shell, it would have been paralyzed long before my Poliwag got tired. Levels aren't everything, but in this case he was outclassed, especially without adequate strategy."
Gary retorted he would beat me next time, then left by automobile with his crying girlfriends. The crowd cheered at my victory, and I said to Satoshi before I left, "Hey man, don't let him get you down. Prove to him that you're every bit as good as he is, if not his better. I'm sure you'll be great with whichever you choose. But if you could, I recommend picking Charmander, just so you can prove to him that types aren't everything, like I showed you just now. Aibo here's my first Pokémon, in case you were wondering." I pointed at aibo at the last sentence.
He responded with a smile, "I'll consider that, thanks! But remember, I won't lose to you the next time we meet!" With that, we bid each other farewell after we slammed our fists against each other's and went our separate ways.
As we walked out of town, aibo spoke happily, as if praising me for what I did back there. Not sure what he said, I only replied, "I do what I can. Now let's go aibo, there' s more Pokémon to catch, and maybe we can find you a decent opponent while we're at it!" At hearing that, he replied with a "Pika!" as our journey finally began.
