EDIT (11-12-16): Edited for format, grammar, word choice, and just all-around bettering. I kept the cheesiness though, because why not?
Welcome to the Ouran Region! Feel free to join Haruhi and Tamaki on their journey. Just watch out for Team Zuka, both lovely maidens and barbaric men alike.
Route A: To Meet an Idiot
The sun shone brightly on a pleasant day, a new day signifying the new life of one girl in particular.
"Good luck! Come back and visit a lot, okay?"
Sounds of sniffling broke into a sob as a short-haired girl walked down her apartment complex's steps to reach the sidewalk below. Today was a very exciting day- for most at least.
Haruhi Fujioka had recently been studying Pokémon at the nearby Pokémon trainer's school. However, Haruhi had plans in life to become an accomplished businesswoman working alongside Pokémon, so she had to at least try for a better school!
The school she applied to was not a better school. It was the best.
The Elite Trainer's School was the best trainer's school in the entire country. Possibly even the world!
After leaving her town and walking for less than an hour, Haruhi found herself facing an enormous building- something that could be a mansion, not a school. She entered and found the main office.
Inside, a secretary sat typing at her computer while a large cat-like Pokémon sat on a posh pillow at her feet, sleeping. Haruhi stared at it.
'Wow...they even have a Persian..' She thought. 'This school really maintains its rich reputation.'
"Haruhi Fujioka?"
The sound of her name brought her back to reality.
"Yes?"
"Your teacher will be in shortly." The woman said, clicking away at her keyboard.
Haruhi looked around the office as she clung to her green backpack.
'Why is the teacher coming here?' She pondered.
Haruhi violently flinched as the door behind her broke the office's silent air with the sound of wood slamming on plaster, or whatever it was rich people made walls out of. Gold perhaps. The Persian that had been sleeping peacefully gave a startled, nails-on-chalkboard screech and it ran to hide under the desk.
Regaining her composure, Haruhi turned around to see what the cause of her fright was.
"Haruhi Fujioka?" The old man wearing a brown suit asked.
"Yes?"She asked.
The man straightened out his appearance.
"I was going to be your teacher." He replied.
"Going to?"She asked.
He nodded.
"Yes, well you see, that's why I'm here. You see, your grades were so remarkable at your old trainer's school that it seems you're not even needed to go through ours."
"What?"She asked, confused.
"Well, in other words, you're ready to begin your Pokémon journey!" He exclaimed. "Good luck, young man."
"Actually I'm a girl..."She murmured.
"Anyway, you're now clear for leaving. Here's a supply of Pokémon must haves, items and medicines and the sort. Here's also a map of the region and $1,000."
The man handed her a lump of cash.
"I know it's not much but… Anyway, you have a Pokémon, correct?"
She shook her head, too startled to answer by the grand sitting in her hand.
"No? Well I suggest you go out and catch a strong Pokémon quick! Try bribing it! Or the commoner's way of using 'Pokeballs'. Hm, either way, you best be off!"
With that, the teacher pushed Haruhi out the front doors of the school no sooner than she had arrived.
However, during her seven minute stay she managed to acquire one thousand dollars, so I suppose her time there was not utterly wasted.
'I could send this money home to pay the rent!' She immediately thought as she continued staring at the money stacked in her palms.
Realizing it probably wasn't safe in her hands out in the open, she quickly transferred the money to her already full backpack. She pulled out her map from her pocket.
"Well," Haruhi said out loud, "as a Pokémon trainer, I should try competing in the Pokémon League. To qualify for the League though, I need to win eight badges from eight League gyms through a Pokémon battle with the gym leader."Haruhi sighed. "This sounds too troublesome. I think I'll just go back home."She mumbled, beginning to fold the map up again.
And so Haruhi headed on home and never went journeying through the country like normal Pokémon world kids did. Thus is the end of "The Ouran Pokémon trainer-Wait! Who's that over there?!
"Um, excuse me..."
Haruhi looked around. There was no one in sight.
"Over here please."
Haruhi followed the voice and looked towards the right corner of the mansion school. She saw a nervous, awkward looking boy in designer clothes loitering about. She walked over to him.
"Yes?"She asked.
"I'm sorry to ask this, but are you starting your Pokémon journey by any chance?" He asked.
"No, sorry, I'm not." She replied, having no intention of doing something so frivolous and strenuous.
"Oh..."
The boy looked like he was about to cry.
"Are you okay?" She quickly asked.
He sadly nodded.
"C'mon, Antoinette, let's go."
A happy woof sounded as a large, fancy-looking Growlithe with a ribbon tied around its neck bounded towards the boy. Without seeing what else would happen, Haruhi started on her way back home.
'I wonder what Dad will think...' She thought.
"Excuse me, do you know the way to Martial Village?"
Haruhi looked up and saw the boy she had seen before asking a group of guys for directions.
"Martial Village? Aren't you a newbie trainer?" They asked, receiving a nod.
They laughed.
"The first gym you should be headed for is the Haninozuka Gym!" One boy exclaimed laughing.
Looking dejected, the boy walked away from the group and towards Haruhi. Noticing her, his eyes lit up a bit, but then faded.
"Looks like I have a lot to learn, right?"He asked her. "I better pack my suitcases and call my personal driver and staff." He said, grasping her attention.
Was he an idiot? Who took an entourage along with them on their Pokémon journey? Even she knew that it'd be troublesome!
"Let's see...and Antoinette will need her special bed, and I'll need about three suitcases, my chef, my teacher, my-"
"No no no." Haruhi said, getting the boy's attention. "Those things will only be troublesome. Trust me." She said, irritated by his stupid behavior.
"But... What about Antoinette's bath?" He asked panicked.
"I'm sure she'll be fine." Haruhi waved off. "Is Antoinette a good fighter?" She asked.
The boy looked stupidly at her. Then he laughed.
"Silly, boy, Antoinette doesn't fight!" He exclaimed. "She's my pet!"
"Then you shouldn't take her along on your journey!" Haruhi ordered, finding her conversation annoying.
The blonde's eyes widened.
"Why not? Why can't Antoinette come along? She's important! My best friend!"
The blond cried.
"She'd get killed! Don't do something stupid!" Haruhi yelled, beginning to leave. "You idiot!" She said as she left.
The boy began to sniffle, catching Haruhi's attention. Haruhi turned around to see him sulking, crouching down in his self-pity.
'Really?' She thought.
He was just the kind of person she did not want to meet.
"Are you okay?"She asked, figuring that if he continued crying in the middle of the street he'd get run over by...She paused in her thoughts.
Why the heck weren't there any cars around?
Anyways...
The boy turned around and nodded, giving her déjà vu. She sighed, finding him a hopeless case. Could an idiot like him really survive in the Pokémon world?
"So..." She began, deciding she should stay with him until he got out of the street. "Where are you headed?" She asked, getting her map out.
The boy stood up and walked closer to her.
"Well, I was planning on going to Martial Village to battle the gym leader there for a gym badge, but apparently that gym is too tough for a beginning trainer." He said with a smile.
Haruhi consulted her map and pointed at a town.
"They said to start at Haninozuka's gym, right?" She asked, referring to the group of guys.
The boy nodded.
"Well, that's right here, it's about a straight walk north from here." She explained.
He nodded again.
"Thank you! Let's go!" The boy began leading Haruhi off, dragging her by the arm.
"Wait, wait, wait! I just told you that I'm not going on a Pokémon journey!"
The boy stopped.
"Why not?" Haruhi sighed.
"It sounds far too troublesome to travel to faraway places, track down a gym, and then try defeating a gym leader. Besides, I need to take care of my father- who knows what he'd do without me there."
"Is he ill?"
"No...he's just...a poor money manager." She said.
"Oh." The boy replied. "Well why don't you journey just to see the world? All the Pokémon, all of the different towns, the different kinds of food..."
The boy appeared to be lost in some sort of day dream with a blissful expression worn on his face.
"Different food?"Haruhi asked, interested.
"Ah! Yes! If I recall, Haninozuka's town was filled with the most delectable sweets! Mouthwatering flavors that melted in your mouth..."
The boy sighed dreamily.
"Nothing better!"
He noticed Haruhi's interested expression.
"Well, you interested in journeying now?"Haruhi looked away. Contrary to what she wanted to say, she kind of was.
"I guess."She mumbled.
The boy brightly smiled.
"Great! We can travel together!"
Again, he began dragging her off.
"By the way," he said looking at her, "I'm Tamaki Suoh."
"Haruhi Fujioka."
With those words spoken, Haruhi ended up getting dragged along by the chatty blond into a new adventure that would lead her into more troublesome and outrageous situations than one can be prepared for.
Our heroes' adventure has only begun! Next time, let's see if the two can make it to the Haninozuka gym! Or will Tamaki get distracted along the way..? Find out next time!
Got an idea? Send it!
P.S. Does Tamaki realize that Haruhi's a girl..?
EDIT (11-12-16): Ha, I more or less forgot that 1) Haruhi started her journey because of food and 2) Tamaki said Antoinette is his pet.
