Pokemon: Diamond Chronicles

Author's note: This will follow the game Pokemon Diamond's storyline. It may deviate slightly because I want to develop the characters more. But that's ok. Cause I'm doing this for fun.

And I do not own pokemon. Just all the gameboy games. XD

Chapter 1: Twinleaf Turmoil

Eric Reed was laying in bed pleasantly sleeping in on a dull Saturday morning. He was thuroughly enjoying this relaxation. Just yesterday his best friend, Tyson Forier, had gotten them swarmed by a bunch of mad Combee. Not his idea of the perfect Friday...

THUMP THUMP THUMP! Someone was banging on the door. Damn it Tyson... Eric groaned. He didn't need this. Not today. He still had the bruises from YESTERDAY. He smiled as the banging stopped. Thank you mom... His mother must have opened the door. He was about to drift back off into his blissful thoughts when...

"WHAT?! HE'S STILL ASLEEP?!" Came Tyson's loud voice. Eric groaned. Crap...he isn't going away. Eric sighed and got out of bed. No doubt he has ANOTHER crazy scheme. He got his travel clothes on and grabbed his beret and placed it on his head. He knew that they could take a beating. Like yesterday...and last week. And last month...and the last 13 years... In Sinnoh unlike Kanto you didn't get your pokemon handed out to you unless you actually lived in the same town as a professor. And Eric was simply to lazy to go to Sandgem when he could simply get one some other way.

Of course...his mom wouldn't just BUY him a pokemon. Oh no. He had to go earn one by befriending it. This had caused some kinks in getting one. He simply ended up getting screwed over when Tyson comes out of nowhere and scares all the pokemon away. Or worse. Getting them to call for help. Gods...that Staraptor almost KILLED us... He thought back to a year ago. If I hadn't thrown the pokeball to keep it distracted while we escaped...

He shook his head as he went downstairs to drag his friend away from the kitchen where his mom had calmed Tyson down by giving him a pastry. Eric grabbed his own on the way out. "Ok Tyson...what's your NEXT crazy plan?" He inquired.

Tyson instantly brightened up. "OK! I heard there was a legendary pokemon at the Lake! And guess what? I KNOW SOMEONE WHO SAW IT! I want to see it Eric! Can we go?"

Eric thought a moment. It was true that there had been sightings of a mirage pokemon at the lake over the many years. AND there weren't an INSANE number of pokemon on the way there either. And it will shut him up... Eric subconsciously added.

"Ok...let's go..." He grabbed his friend as he jetted off. "NOT SO FAST...get some food we'll have lunch out there ok?" Tyson jumped up and punched the air. "You're the best Eric!"

OoOoOoOo

Dawn sighed as she looked around the grass. Nothing above a first stage pokemon anywhere. The professor was studying evolution. He wanted to compare first stages to their second stages and so on. She sighed and sat back down. He Piplup mimicked her. "Well Piplup this is a disaster! My first day as his field assistant and I'm doing horrible!" She'd been training with the professor and her dad (the professor's aide) for a while to be ready for this. She was EXTREMELY intelligent.

She got up and walked back over to where the professor was. "I'm sorry Professor Rowan I couldn't find anything." She lowered her head sadly and Piplup did the same. Professor Rowan chuckled and patted her shoulder. "It's ok m'girl. We'll have more luck next time." As they were leaving the lake two young boys dashed by.

Dawn blinked. "Umm...well I'll give it a bit more time...you can go back to the lab. I'll be ok with Piplup." Rowan nodded. "I think I'll have some tea...you should be back by dinner or your father with have my head. Even if I AM his boss." Rowan walked off.

OoOoOoO

Eric was arguing with Tyson. "YOU got us into this! And I am NOT stealing pokemon to get us out of it!" They had been attacked by two Starly. And Tyson had spotted a briefcase with two pokeballs in it. Tyson groaned. "That's it...POKEBALL go!" He tossed one and out came a Chimchar. "Scratch!" Tyson began to battle one of the Starlies. Eric ducked as the other one charged him. "Curse these things..." He took the other ball. "GO!" Out came a Turtwig. "TACKLE!" The grass turtle slammed its body into the Starly.

Soon both Starlies had been knocked out.

Dawn gaped. These guys didn't have any pokemon. And yet they were battling surprisingly well. Especially that cute one with the hat... She added with a blush.

Professor Rowan came up behind her. "So that's where I left my briefcase." Dawn jumped up shocked and followed him to the boys.

Tyson and Eric gulped as the Professor looked coldly at them. "Well...you two seem to have gotten into a spot of trouble eh? Swing by my lab in Sandgem town later today and we will...discuss this further. Bring those pokemon." Rowan turned and left. Dawn bit her lip.

"And...I...I'm Dawn his assistant. Nice to meet you!" She ran off with a backwards glance at Eric. Tyson grinned. "Dude! We get to keep the pokemon! And that girl was totally into me!" Eric just looked at his friend. What an ego...she was looking at me the entire time... "Well I'll go to that lab now." Eric said as he started off. Tyson ran past him. "No way! I'm not wasting anytime! I'll beat you there!" Tyson bolted away.

Eric sighed. "Tyson...must you always rush?" He walked to Sandgem at a leisurely pace. He knocked out a few Starlies on the way. Otherwise it was quite relaxing.
