Trainer's Chronicles
First time at jumping into Pokemon fan fiction here. In case you haven't already guessed, I'm setting this in Sinnoh. Well, it will kinda follow the game's plot, well, with some changes. Mainly the fact that the main character isn't Lucas. Well, here goes.
'Despite the exploration team's best efforts, however, the rare, oddly colored Pokemon eluded detection. The Rumored red Gyarados failed to appear, even fleetingly, to the crestfallen team…' 'That concludes our special report, "Search for the Red Gyarados!" Brought to you by Jubilife TV on Nationwide Net! See you next week, same time, same channel'
The young man watching immediately shut the TV off and yawned, getting up from his position in front of the TV. Walking over to the mirror, he gently placed his hand on it, gazing at the vivid image of the Twinleaf Town. He sighed, before turning around. "Well that sure was a waste of time" the young man scratched the back of his head and walked out of his room, slowly walking across the hallway leading to the stairwell, and descended. As he got down, he was immediately confronted by his mother. "Geo! Tyson came calling for you a little while ago. I don't know what it was about, but he said it was an emergency." She looked at her son, Geo, with a smile on her face. "That boy, he always acts so rash. There's some food on the table if you feel hungry" she tilted her head to the side a bit, smile widening, before turning around to the sofa in front of the TV, returning to her program.
Looking at the bar, he noticed a sandwich and a bottled cola resting upon it. "I'll get to it later" he said with a small smile before walking towards the door, taking a look back at the TV, before opening the door. "That's right! I forgot to remind you not to—" his mom started, before being interrupted by Geo. "Go into the tall grass or wild Pokemon will get me." he looked at her with slight annoyance. Every time he had wanted to go out, she always gave him that same warning. Every single time. He then proceeded outwards, shutting the door behind him.
Upon exit, the sun projected its rays into his eyes, causing him to impulsively shield them with his arms. A few seconds later, he brought it down after his eyes got used to the sun. However, he couldn't help but to squint at how bright the sun was today. Something that he noted, however, was the fact that it was a rather breezy day. As if it were raining, or on the verge to at the least. Thrusting his hands into his pockets, he walked to the center of the town, gazing at the sign that had simply read the town's name, as he had past it. As he headed out of town, he heard someone call him. "Hey Geo! Tyson was looking for you, he's gotta be home now. You should talk to him" the man said with a smile, before resuming his previous task, fiddling idly with his guitar. Turning around, he walked towards his friend's house before knocking on the door, only to be knocked down by Tyson himself.
"What was that about?!" a young man aggressively asked, until noticing who it was he had bumped into. Softening his expression, he picked his friend up, wiping the dust off of his shoulders. "Ah Geo, didn't recognize ya there. I was about to go to the lake, and you better come to. You got that? I'm fining you one million zennies if you're late!" He had jokingly said before looking up and remembering something. "That's right!" he said and without a notice, ran past his friend, back into his house. "Geez. Tyson is always that brash and irrational. I wonder if he was dropped on the head" Geo chuckled slightly to himself before shrugging. "Might as well go ahead" thinking out loud, he turned around and headed for the border of the town before being bumped into. "Ah Geo! Good, looks like you get to keep your money after all!" Tyson had laughed before ruffling through his friend's hair. Geo pushed him off with a slight smirk.
"You know, I don't really remember how we became friends. I mean, we're complete opposites!" Geo told him, causing Tyson to laugh even more. "Me neither. Say, you saw that news report earlier, right?" "Yeah. Waste of time too. I rather would've listened to my iPod. The report was obviously a waste of time. The only real area where a red Gyarados has ever been recorded in was Johto. My friend there even managed to capture one. Well, he says anyway" Geo shrugged, obviously uninterested in the subject. "Jeez man, don't be such a killjoy. Besides, if he does have one, then that must mean that there's a chance of us finding one here. Off we go!" Tyson laughed off before running towards the lake. "Be there or it's ten million that you'll owe me!" he pointed before proceeding.
Geo sighed before raising his eyebrow. It started to get a bit windier. Well, it was a good thing, so who was he to complain? He then started to dash for the lake as well. Turning a corner, he ran into Tyson, who was pacing around. "Finally! Alright, let's go catch us a red Gyarados!" and with that, he disappeared through the thick foliage separating Twinleaf, and Lake Verity, the so-called Lake of Emotions. Geo then followed, but not before taking a look around. While the path wasn't too long, there might be a risk of being attacked by a flying type Pokemon, so he had to stay alert while crossing through areas like it. As they got to the lake, they found two people by a patch of tall grass. "Huh, what's going on?" Tyson muttered, walking a step forward.
"Professor, there isn't anything out of the ordinary on the other side either!" the younger of the two, a girl, had said. "I may have been mistaken then. Something seems different about this lake then it was before, however… Alright. Dawn, we're leaving" the professor looked at the girl, before turning around. "Gotcha" she had said, following suite. "Excuse me" the professor grunted, before Tyson and Geo had created a path for the two of them to walk out. The girl, now identified as Dawn, looked at the two before raising her hand into the air, waving. "We'll be on our way" and with that, the two had disappeared. Geo had looked at the patch of grass before noticing that the two had forgotten a suitcase. "Hey, over there! They must've forgotten it" Geo had said, walking closer, followed closely by Tyson. "We should return it" the former had then walked into the patch of grass, towards the suitcase. "Or, maybe we can take a gander at what's inside" Tyson got to the bag before Geo, and opened it, revealing three Pokeballs. "Hey, aren't these--?" the blond haired boy didn't have time to finish his sentence as two Starlys had come out from the nowhere and cornered them.
The case had opened, and Geo did the only sensible thing that he could've done. He had grabbed one of the balls, and flung it in front of him, sending out a Pokemon that looked like a mix of a turtle, and a plant. He was caught in a bad position. While he knew what type of Pokemon it was, he didn't know what type of moves it had. "Crap. Turtwig, uh, quick attack?" Geo spat out, earning an estranged look from the Turtwig. 'Guess he doesn't have that move yet' he had thought, before being snapped back to reality when the Pokemon was hit by the Starly's own quick attack. "Damn, aura sphere! No, close combat! No luck. Damn it, can't you do anything to, at the very least, tackle them?!" he had shouted out. As if he had ordered a move, the Turtwig had ran towards the Starly who flew down towards it, and gave it a rough shoulder-tackle, bringing the flying type down to the ground. 'Guess I now know at least one move. Now I have a fighting chance'he had though, before clenching his fist, new found determination coursing through his veins. "Turtwig, tackle it yet again!" Geo shouted out, this time with a commanding tone, which the grass-type was obliged to follow. Quickly side-stepping to the right, avoiding the Starly's own tackle, it slid behind the Starly, and tackled it, effectively knocking the wild Pokemon out.
"Good job" Geo simply said with a smirk on his face. Returning the Pokemon into it's Pokeball, he looked over at Tyson who had just finished defeating the second Starly. "Great job dude! Though my Chimchar was obviously way better than your Turtwig" Tyson had proudly said, yet again showing off. Just then, Dawn walked back into the lake front, past the two. "Ah, so that's where the suit case was. Ol' Rowan would've been filled with rage had I lost it. Thank god it was right here" she couldn't help but to think aloud. Looking at the two, she almost gagged. "Wait,
you, you used the Pokemon in there? Oh, my, god! This is definitely not good. I'll go now, see you guys later" grabbing the suitcase by the handle, and walked back towards the town.
"I don't know what that was about, but we should go. Our Pokemon got injured in that battle, we won't last another" Tyson had said, going ahead. 'What happened to Mr. Confidence? Still, if his Chimchar got injured by one of those Starlys, then I guess it isn't as strong as he probably thought it to be.' Geo thought to himself, hands in his pockets, looking at the path ahead. "You go on ahead, I know these ain't our Pokemon, but I just want to spend a little more time with them" he had looked at the Pokeball in an almost motherly way. Geo, however, had just nodded. Walking around the corner, Tyson had spotted the two just in front of Twinleaf. Walking closer, the professor noticed them, and turned to them.
"I heard from Dawn that you used our Pokemon?" the man asked. While it didn't seem as if he was angry, he could just really be good at hiding his rage. "Y-yes" Geo had muttered, still looking at the ground. He wasn't afraid of the man, but he could already tell where it was going. "Let me see them please" the professor asked. Geo grabbed the ball from his pocket and handed it to the man, Tyson did the same. A few seconds later, he handed them back. "I see. Alright, Dawn, I'm heading back to the lab!" the man had said in a thunderous voice, walking past Dawn. "Y-yes!" Dawn had stuttered. She had never heard Rowan use that kind of tone before. She looked at the two before smiling. "No need to worry guys. I'm pretty sure he isn't that mad. Well, I've gotta get going. You two should visit our lab later, it's not too far ahead. Bye!" she waved back before following the route Rowan had used.
"Well, that was strange. He didn't yell at us, and he didn't even want his Pokemon back. Well, we should go home too. We'll stop by their lab later" Tyson gave Geo a pat on the back before heading back to the town. "Catch you later" Geo nodded, and looked back at the Pokeball in his hand. Clutching it tightly, he pocketed it before heading back to his own house as well.
"Oh, I see you're back dear. Well, I've placed the food in the refrigerator, so just grab it when you're hungry. "Oh yes, Geo! I just got a call from a man named Professor Rowan. He told me that you should visit his lab in Sandgem Town later. While he is a well respected man, he can be quite intimidating at times. Whatever it's about, don't worry about it too much, I'm pretty sure he'll understand. Also, here are a pair of sneakers you can have." She handed him a pair of black sneakers with a smile. "You should rest for now." Geo nodded and walked up the stairway, then followed the hall into his room.
Well, that is chapter one. By the way, if any of you have a better name for this story, please tell me. The current name sucks, so yeah. I'll credit you if you do. Oh right, disclaimers. I don't own Pokemon. The only thing I own here is the character Geo. Well, that's it. Be sure to review!
