Vert4848: Hello, race fans! And welcome to the Good Sam 500! I'm Vert4848, your race commentator, along with my co-commentators Lucario…

Lucario: Uh… Vert?

Vert4848: and Gardevoir!

Gardevoir: Vert!

Vert4848: Huh? Oh, sorry. Sprint Cup was on. Anyway, this is my first Pokèmon story. Takes place in Sinnoh and has the same format as the anime. Also, real-life places like the US and real-life sports like Indy Car exist. Anyway, Lucario, do the disclaimer!

Lucario: Vert4848 does not, or ever will, own Pokemon. If he ever does than I'll eat raw meat, and only raw meat for the rest of my life.

Gardevoir: That's… unappetizing , enjoy. And don't forget to R&R!

It was a quiet, peaceful day in Twinleaf Town. Starly were resting in the trees, while young Bidoof were playing in the forest. Nothing could ruin this nice, peaceful…

BOOM!

Well, never mind.

A jackal like Pokemon shook his head. He had a spike on his chest, and spikes on his hands. He had black surrounding his eyes, and a tan chest. The rest of his body was blue. "You have to work on your aim. And your speed. And your…"

"Alright, Lucario! Alright! I know I have to improve on some things! I'm new to aura!" a 9-year old, soon to be 10 in a week, boy interrupted him. The boy was about about Lucario's height. He had a white and red hat covering his shaggy brown hair. He wore a blue t-shirt with an unzipped black leather jacket. He wore blue jeans and red shoes.

"I know you're new, Vert, but you're starting your journey in a week, and you have no idea what's out there." Lucario spoke through telepathy. It was rare that a non-psychic type would know telepathy, but Lucario's can do it through their aura.

"Can we at least take a break for a couple minutes? We've been doing this since 9:30!" Vert complained.

Lucario sighed. "Alright, we can take a…"

Slam!

Lucario looked over to where Vert was standing and looked down. He was laying down, snoring. Lucario bent down and looked at the watch on Vert's hand. It read 12:30.

"Only 3 hours? We could have gone longer." he said. "Might as well carry him back to the house. His mom is probably making lunch right now."

Lucario picked Vert up and put him over his shoulder. He started walking towards Vert's house.

"GARDE!" He heard a voice scream. He jumped and dropped Vert. Vert awoke when he hit the ground and quickly shot up.

"Whoa, how did we get here?" Vert asked, looking around.

"After I told you we would take a break, you fell asleep. It was lunch, so I picked you up and walked back to the house. But, did you hear that scream?" Lucario replied.

Vert shook his head. "No, I didn't hear a scream. You imagining things?"

"GARDE!" Another scream.

"Nope, not imagining things." Lucario said. Vert closed his eyes to trace the scream's source. Vert eyes quickly shot open and he pointed to a thicker part of the forest.

"Over there!" Vert shouted, and ran towards the scream. Lucario quickly followed.

"Vert, wait! We don't know what's out there!" Vert didn't slow down. Instead, he speed up, until he was no longer in sight.

'For a 9 year old, he's fast!' Lucario thought. He quickly swerved left and right to avoid trees. He then saw Vert shoot past him, holding something green and white in his arms. Lucario skidded to a stop and ran towards Vert.

With Vert

'I'm not letting her die on my watch!' Vert quickly thought. He swerved between trees quickly, nearly hitting some of them. He ran into a clearing of the forest with a few buildings. He ran towards one of the buildings, a tan building with a brown roof. It had two windows on the top floor, and a garage next to the front porch. The porch had two chairs and a small wooden table. On the table was a cup with two flowers and an American flag.

Vert slowed down and opened the door. He quickly burst into the house, where his mom was making lunch. She was about a foot taller than Vert, and had short, brown hair. She wore a light blue shirt with brown pants. She had cooking gloves on her hands. She held a pot of rice in her hands. She put the pot down and looked at Vert.

"Hello, Vert. How was aura… *gasp*! What happened?" She asked, pointing at the figure in Vert's arms.

"No clue, but get the bandages, quick!" He said. His mom nodded, and reached towards a cabinet. Vert ran towards a couch and put the figure on the couch. The figure was long and skinny. It was mostly white, with what looked like a white dress. The figures hair was green, and a red spike was on it's chest. Blood ran down the figure's arms and head. Vert's mom quickly ran into the living room and sat next to the figure. She began to wrap bandages around the figures arms and head.

Lucario ran into the house and immediately ran towards Vert.

"Vert, why did run… off… like… that…" Lucario spoke noticed the figure on the couch. "Oh, what happened?"

"No clue. Just saw this Pokèmon lying unconscious on the ground, leaning against a tree," Vert said.

"What Pokèmon is it?" Vert asked, turning his head towards his mom.

She thought for a moment. "It's a Gardevoir," She stated.

"Will it live?" Vert asked.

The Gardevoir started to move. "Garde…"

"Is that a good enough answer?" Lucario said.

"Now is not a good time for sarcasm!" Vert's mom scolded.

"Garde!" Gardevoir quickly became defensive.

"Whoa! It's okay! We won't hurt you!" Vert said. Gardevoir seemed to calm down.

"You're probably wondering how you got here?" Lucario asked. Gardevoir was surprised that Lucario knew telepathy, but she nodded. "Vert here found you unconscious in the forest leaning against a tree, so he carried you here to help you."

Gardevoir looked at Vert. She shot up and hugged Vert. Vert was surprised by this act of affection. His mom smiled. "I guess she really likes you."

Gardevoir let go of Vert. "Well, that was unexpected. Anyway, do you remember anything that happened before I found you?" He asked. Gardevoir shook her head.

"Stay here for a moment, okay?" Vert stated. He turned to his mom and Lucario. "Let's meet in the kitchen." He started walking towards the kitchen. His mom and Lucario looked at each other, wondering why he wants to meet in the kitchen. They walked towards the kitchen.

Vert was leaning against the kitchen counter. His mom and Lucario walked in. "Why do you want to talk, Vert?" his mom asked.

He looked at them. "I think Gardevoir was abused by her previous Trainer." he stated.

His mom was shocked. "What makes you say that?"

Vert was puzzled on why she didn't see the obvious. "Isn't it obvious? The cuts! The bruises! Obviously she had an abusive Trainer!" He shouted.

"Hey! No need to shout!" Lucario said.

"Sorry," Vert apologized. "Anyway, I was thinking I would ask her if she wanted to come with me on my journey. I wouldn't force her to go, though."

"I don't see why not. I mean, she really seems to like you." Vert's mom said.

Vert started walking back to the living room, with his mom and Lucario following him. When they got back to the living room, they saw Gardevoir looking at some photos of Vert's family.

"Uh, Gardevoir?" Vert said. Gardevoir turned and looked at him. "I wanted to know if you want to go on my Pokèmon journey with me. I mean you don't have to if you don't want to."

Gardevoir just smiled and hugged Vert. "I take that as a yes!"

Vert4848: So how was it? Good? Bad? I apologize for the horrible descriptions of characters. Vert is based off of the male hero from the Black and White games.

Lucario: Please R&R!

Gardevoir: And see you next time!
