Chapter 1
(A/N Hi everyone! This is a complete reposting of My Kalos Adventure from SosoAndGlaceon, my previous account. Please review!~)
Froakie...Fennekin...Chespin…
Which one? They're all so cute! Hmmm…..
Cheep! Cheep!
Hey... that's not a Kalos starter!
CRASH
What?
"FLETCHLING, GET OVER HERE!" "Cheep! Cheep!" I jump up and down, trying to grab the Fletchling that had so evilly woken me up from my nice dream.
"Soso, are you okay?" comes a voice from below.
"NO! Moooooom, Fletchling dive-bombed me!" I cry.
"Mhm, yup, I totally didn't put him up to it… Well, come down soon! Go meet your new neighbors. You didn't have time since we moved here a week ago!"
I stand up and change into pretty red pleated skirt, tight black blouse, and a red hat. Then, I walk down the stairs to the kitchen, and exit the house.
"Do you think she's awake yet?"
There are two kids my age standing outside, talking to each other. One is wearing a lot of pink and has two pigtails. The other is a boy wearing a blue jacket and black jeans. The girl just spoke.
"Who, me?" I ask.
"Oh, hello there. Are you Soso?" asks the guy.
"Yup, are you my... neighbors?" I ask, remembering Mom's comment about my neighbors.
"Mhm, and WE'RE GETTING POKEMON!" screams the girl.
"Wait, what?" I ask.
"Errr, Shauna wants to say that Professor Sycamore is allowing all three of us to receive starter Pokémon of Kalos. By the way, I am Calem."
"REALLY?" A starter Pokémon! Just for me! My dream's coming true!
"Well, what are you waiting for? Meet us in Aquacorde Town, on the outdoor patio! Seeya soon!"
And with that, my neighbors run off, out of the gates, and to where I assume Aquacorde Town is.
I tell my mom that I'm coming back and follow their path.
"Soso! Over here!"
I have just entered the town of Aquacorde. It is really pretty and sunny. I stroll over to my new neighbors.
"So, Soso - sorry, I couldn't stop myself - This is Trevor and Tierno," says Calem.
"Hi! I'm Soso!" I introduce myself to the two boys. One is rather chubby and the other is skinny, and looks very shy.
"Time to get the Pokémon!" shouts Shauna.
"Wait, you weren't joking?" I ask in disbelief.
"'Course not, silly! We're going to get one of the Kalos Starters!"
"Wha—"
My question is cut of as Tierno takes out a tube holding three Pokeballs.
"Froakie, Fennekin, and Chespin! Pick one," says Trevor.
"Soso, pick one, because you're the newest!" says Calem.
"Bu—"
"PICK ONE!"
"Fine..." I don't know what to pick. I love water types, but Fennekin is so cute! And Chespin too! But then Tierno releases all the Pokémon.
"Fen!"
"Kie?"
"Ches."
From the start, Chespin stands aloof, looking at everything distrustfully. Froakie looks plain timid. But Fennekin runs around my legs playfully.
"I pick Fennekin!" I declare.
"Chespin is soooooo cute!" Shauna says, picking him up.
"I've always wanted a Froakie," Calem smiles.
"Now, let's pick a nickname for Soso!" Trecor says.
"Not yet. Soso, I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!" Shauna faces me.
"Great! Go, Fennekin!"
Three minutes later, and a fainted Chespin too, Shauna hands over some money.
"I think your nickname should be Soso The Great! 'Cause you're so good!"
"Okay..." I say.
"Here, this letter is for your mother and this is your very own Pokédex!" Trevor hands me the items.
"Thanks, I'll send this to my mom now! Meet you in..." I trail off.
"Santalune Forest, right after Route Two down there!" says Calem.
"Santalune Forest it is! See you!"
I explore Aquacorde Town a bit more. It is larger than Vaniville, but certainly small and quaint. I visit the bookshop and purchase a few potions and a book on type matchups. A nice man also gifts me another potion. Finally, I let Fennekin out. It weaves arounf my legs playfully, finally stopping to catch her breath.
"Hey, Fennekin, how are you?" I coo.
"Fenn! Fennekin!"
"I take it that you're great! Let's go to Route 2. Come on!" We race to Route 2 just in time to see Calem attacked by a wild Bunnelby.
"Shhh," I whisper to Fennekin. "Let's watch him catch it."
Sure enough, Calem catches the Bunnelby by having his Froakie hit it with a Tackle. I notice that he weakens the Bunnelby this way before throwing a Pokéball at it. When he finally catches the Bunnelby, Fennekin and I congratulate him.
"Great job, Calem! Is that your first Pokémon?"
"Yes, it is," he beams. "Here, do you want some Pokéballs? My parents gave me too many."
"Sure, if you don't mind. How about the others?"
"Well, I gave some to Shauna, and Trevor and Tierno should be okay. Shauna went back to Vaniville for some reason. Anyways, I want to go to Santalune Forest."
"Oh, Okay. Bye, Calem! Thanks for the Pokeballs!"
"See you!" he calls back and runs off.
"Okay Fennekin, let's find you a friend!" I cry.
Almost as if it was answering my call, a Fletchling swoops down and faces Fennekin.
"Well, that was easy. Fennekin, Tackle!" The Fletchling seems unfazed by the attack and returns it by... growling. But it seems so cute when it does that... Wait, that must be a move! Fennekin seems to be softening, so it lowers Attack. If so, then Fennekin should-
"Tail Whip!" Tail Whip lowers Defense of the target.
The Fletchling counters by Tackling. But I tell Fennekin to Tackle it once more, and then I throw a Pokeball.
It blinks once…
twice…
thrice…
and clicks!
I caught a Fletchling!
I let it out of its Pokéball, and it flies down to settle on my head. "Hi, Fletchling! How are you? Lets heal you up, cutie!"
"Cheep!"
This Fletchling reminds me of Mom's Fletchling... was it only this morning I left home to begin my journey? Anyways, I heal Fletchling, and Fennekin too, and head into Santalune Forest.
But I am stopped short by a Youngster, who promptly challenges me. I agree, and the battle ensues.
"Go, Fletchling!"
"Go, Zigzagoon!"
"Fletchling, use Tackle!"
"Dodge Zigzagoon, and use Tail Whip!" Fletchling's attack does, however, meet its mark.
But then she uses a new move- "Wow Fletchling, that's Quick Attack!" Through Fletchling's volley of Quick Attacks, the Zigzagoon faints, and I win!
The Youngster gives me some money, and compliments my battling, then runs off.
"SosoTheGreat?" a voice pipes up.
"Hey Shauna!" I turn aroung to greet my new friend.
"Great battle! I'm sorta scared to go through Santalune Forest by myself. Can I come with you? I'll heal your Pokémon anytime!"
"Sure, Shauna! Let's go!" And with that, Shauna and I venture into Santalune Forest.
"Woah!" Shauna exclaims. "Santalune Forest is beautiful!"
I have to agree with her. The whole forest is a mixture of different shades of green. Patches in the trees allow sunlight to stream in, and illuminate the forest well. Everywhere, there are Pokémon jumping, flying, or sleeping. Groups of Fletchling fly around the trees, a blur of red and black. To my left, Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage bounce around.
"Time to train!" I call, releasing Fletchling and Fennekin. Turning to Shauna, I ask, "Are you going to train too?"
"No, I'll just watch you guys and take picture."
"Fine with me!" I reply.
For a solid hour, we do train. Then, a flock of Pidgeys flies up from a spot not far from us.
"ARE YOU CALLING ME SHORT?" a voice calls out from that area.
"Soso, is that... Tierno?"
"Sounds like him. Man, I pity the guy who called him small. Let's watch the battle," I say.
Sure enough, Tierno wins but is still mad. Shauna and I have to hold him back from strangling the kid. Holding a 140-pound guy is NOT easy, and now I know that from experience.
"That kid better be sorry he ever met me, or else..." Tierno mutters.
"Come on, it's okay. Look, here comes Calem and Trevor!" Shauna exclaims.
"Hey, guys. Want to come out to Route 3? I was just there. Here, take this book I made. It's called Adventure Rules," Calem says in one breath.
"Um, sure. I'm about done with Santalune Forest now," I say.
Shauna bobs her head, signaling she is now sick of the, admittedly, pretty forest too.
"Great! C'mon!" Trevor says. Together, we walk out to Route 3. The sudden brightness overwhelms us, and we blink rapidly to get our eyes to adjust.
"Well, I'm going to Santalune City now. See ya!" Shauna calls and runs off.
The others depart as well, leaving me alone to train further. As I look around, I see the telltale pink and purple flowers of Santalune City up ahead.
Suddenly, a group of blue balls come bouncing up. I recognize them to be Azurills.
"Azu, Azu, AzuMARILL. Azu, Azu, AzuMARILL!" they cry.
"Woah there, what are you doing?" I ask, bending down to look at them. I never really learned what they were doing, and the next thing I realized was that I was lying down at the entrance to Santalune City, the Traditional City.
If you check out my previous version, I'm clumping the chapters up.
PLEASE review! I need criticism! If you're too lazy too put up an actual review (like me), put up a number on a scale from 1 to 10! The number of reviews I get affects the length of the next chapter! SO REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
