Hey guys TheYoshster here, starting up my latest story while I deal with some writers block for Of Glitz and Glory, and while I think of an idea for my next major Mario story. I give you possibly one of the weirdest ideas I have ever had(and it's what I'm writing about that makes it so weird.) You all have heard of the 2nd coming of Johto in HeartGold and SoulSilver and this fic is just what you thought. A Pokemon themed fanfic and I have NO idea why I'm doing one………
Well to give you a short summary it's the story of one of my notable original characters, Justin Gaines(the same one from Army of The Undead but a younger version). This is his story as he and a couple friends go on their own Johto Journey and the story of Justin's rise to fame in the Pokemon World. They will encounter many challenges as they travel Johto and It's just weird that I'm writing a Pokemon fanfic but I just had a strange urge to try and write one, but I hope you enjoy it.
TheYoshster presents: The Johto Journeys of Justin Gaines
It was midday in Johto and the sun shined down on Eucreteak City. One particular resident was especially excited about this day. He knew that on his 12th birthday his father would take him to New Bark Town so he could start his journey and follow the footsteps of his parents.
The kid's father walked into his bedroom. He wore white pants, a black sweater, and a purple and red scarf. He also wore a purple head band around his blonde hair and he greeted his oldest son "Hey, happy birthday Justin."
Justin woke up slowly, looking at his clock and realizing it was 10 o'clock. He had short blonde hair like his father, but instead of brown eyes he had blue eyes. He yawned "Yaaawn…Hey wait! Today's my birthdasy and that means…"
Justin's father, known as Eucreteak City's Gym Leader Morty said as he nodded "Yes that's right son. You finally get to start your journey."
Justin shot up out of bed and he cheered "Awesome! I've been waiting for this day to come for so long!" He watched as Morty walked out of his room and he quickly changed into a pair of tan cargo shorts and a red tshirt with a surf logo. He walked out of his room and headed down the stairs after getting ready in the bathroom. He made his way into the kitchen and grabbed himself a bowl of cereal.
Justin's younger brother Tyler greeted him, sitting down at the table "Happy birthday bro!" Tyler was 9 years old and he had messy brownish blonde hair in the style of a small fauxhawk and he wore a poke ball tshirt with jeans.
Justin sat down and thanked his brother "Thanks Tyler!"
"I bet you can't wait to start your journey!"
Justin replied as he ate his cereal "I'm pumped up! I just can't wait anymore!"
Tyler then asked as he watched Morty walk out the front door of their home "SO, do you have any idea what pokemon you're gonna pick for your starter?"
Justin replied "I can't really decide! I really like all of Johto's starters but I just can't choose! I mean Chikorita are great starters and pretty loyal, Cyndaquil are just plain out cute and very friendly, and Totodile just make great friends and they're often fun loving."
Tyler said "Pick Totodile! They're so cool when they become Feraligator!"
Justin replied "I don't know. I'll just decide when I get there."
Morty walked back in with his Gengar and he said to Justin "Justin, I've got something for you before you finish breakfast and we head out."
Justin wondered as he got up and walked over to his father who's Gengar held out a present "What'd you get me?"
Morty said "Go ahead and open it!"
Gengar added "Gen-Gar!" (Yeah, open and be amazed!) Justin opened the gift, only to be frightened by a Ghastly and Gengar laughed "GEN! GEN! GEN GAR GAR GAR!!!! (BUH! BUH! BUH HUH HUH HUH!!!)
Justin shouted "AAHHHH!! What the heck was that about!?"
Morty scolded Gengar "Gengar! I didn't tell you to prank my son! Now give him the real gift!"
Gengar replied "Gengar!" (Sorry!) He pulled out from behind him a present in a red box.
Justin took the box and unwrapped it, revealing a Poke Gear. He said as he took it out "Wow! You got me a Poke Gear! That's so cool!"
Morty said to Justin "Me and your mother got it for you to help you on your journey. I;ve also programmed the map of Johto in and programmed our number into it in case you wanted to give us a call."
Justin thanked his dad "Thanks dad! I just wish mom was here instead of Sinnoh!"
"She wishes you the best of luck and she also said she was sad she couldn't be here today." He then told Justin "Well once you're finished eating breakfast, I've got Eusine'ss Alakazam waiting for you so he can teleport you to New Bark Town."
Justin quickly finished his breakfast and he said as he headed to the door "Thanks for everything dad!"
Morty gave Justin a quick handshake and he said "Good luck on your journey, and I'll see you on your return to Eucreteak."
Justin remembered "Oh yeah! That's right, I'm gonna have to face you in order to get the fourth badge!"
"And with a little luck and skill you may earn that badge!" He and Tyler then bid Justin farewell as he walked out the door.
Jusin waved goodbye "Bye dad! Bye Tyler!" He then ran upstairs to pack his bag only bringing the essentials and he walked out the door. He then approached Alakazam "Hey Alakazam. I was told you'd bring me to New Bark Town?"
Alakazam replied as he nodded his head "Ala Kazam!" (Yes. Let's get going then!) He then grabbed onto Justin's arm and focused his energy. His eyes then glowed blue as a blue aura formed around him and they disappeared.
They appeared in the quaint town of New Bark Town. Alakazam let go of Justin and he said "Alakazam! Alakazam!" (May the force be with you! Good luck!) He teleported back to Eucreteak City.
Justin stood there, confused and he said "I have no clue what you said, but thanks for bringing me here!" He looked around at the town and he said "All I gotta do now is find Professor Elm's Lab!" He walked past a house and he asked a trainer who was talking to his Totodile "Hey dude, where is Professor Elm's Lab?"
The trainer got up and looked at Justin, along with his Totodile and he said "It's not too far away! I was actually just there picking up my starter!" He was a trainer about Justin's age with blonde hair standing in a spiked way slicked to the back with a small purple part in the front. He also wore jean shorts and a with a purple and blue hoodie. He was also a little shorter.
Justin looked down at his hyperactive Totodile and he said "Wait, if you just came back does then I probably won't be able to get a Totodile!"
The kid replied "Nah! Not exactally, he's probably already replaced this little guy buy now!"
The Totodile replied as he looked up at Justin "Toto-Totodile!" (Yeah! I saw another!)
Justin asked him "Well could you tell me where the lab is?"
"It's the largest building on the edge of the forest. You can't miss it dude!"
Justin replied "Oh, so it's that building right there!?" He pointed towards New Bark's entrance and noticed Elm's lab. It was past a few houses and the poke center in the center.
"Yeah that's it!" He replied.
Justin thanked him and walked towards the lab and approached the door. He knocked on the door and asked 'Hello? Anyone home!?"
The door opened and a man waering a lab coat with a light blue sweater under it answered the door. He had brown messy hair and glasses and he gretted him "Well hello there, you must be Justin Gaines!"
Justin recognized him as Professor Elm and he said "Yeah I am, and you must be Professor Elm! Nice meeting you!"
Elm asked Jusitn as he brought him into his lab after shaking his hand "I bet you're ready to start your journey as a Pokemon Trainer, let me take you over here." He walked into his main lab and he took him to the poke balls.
Justin said "This is gonna be a tough decision for me! I mean I know the starters in Johto are so great but I just don't know which one!"
Elm replied "They are definatley a unique crowd and I've had several trainers before you come to me wondering the same thing!"
Justin asked as he looked at the three poke balls laying on the table away from his machines and other research equipment "Well could you show me each of them one at a time so I can get a feeling of which one I'd like more."
Elm replied as he adjusted his glasses "Sure! First I think I'll show you Chikorita." He threw grabbed a poke ball and threw it. It revealed a blue alligator with a big jaw and red spines going down his back and Elm corrected himself "Uh…Make that Totodile! My mistake!"
The Totodile looked up at Justin and said "Toto!? Dile?" (Huh? Who are you!?)
Justin greeted the Totodile "Hey Totodile! What's going on!"
The Totodile began to jump for joy and cheered "Toto-Toto-Totodile!" (Hey wait! You're a trainer looking for a starter! Pick me! Pick me!)
Justin observed "Heh heh! He seems like a pretty cheerful fella!"
Elm told Jusitn as he watched the Totodile dance around "Totodile are typically cheerful and playful Pokemon."
"He sure does seem playful! Just like that trainer who showed me the place's Totodile."
Elm remembered the kid and he said "Oh, you must mean Odd Della Robia. He picked up his Totodile about an hour ago."
"His name is Odd! Haha! I wonder who would name their son Odd!" He let out a quick chuckle.
Elm said as he returned the Totodile to it's ball "Unfortunatley for you that Totodile is reserved for another trainer."
Justin sighed "Awww…You gotta be kidding me!"
Elm replied "So is this Chikorita here, but I'll show her to you anyway!" He threw out the…whatever it was, pale green thing with red eyes, a huge leaf on it's head, and a "necklace" made of green buds.
The Chikorita looked around it said "Chiko?" (Who are you?)
Justin looked down at it and he said "She's cute! And I hear they're pretty friendly as well!" He also noticed the sweet scent in the air and he said "And she does make the air smell so fresh!"
Elm said to Justin in response "Yes they are, but the only bad side to Chikorita is they're easily offended and they tend to be over-emotional some times."
Justin wondered "Well it depends on their personality sometimes…but okay! I'd like to see Cyndaquil now!"
Elm returned Chikorita who waved goodbye with it's leaf and he said "I don't think this Cyndaquil is reserved, and I'm sure you'll like this one more than Chikorita!" He threw out the poke ball, revealing a sherw/mouse like pokemon with a long snout, squinty eyes, a blueish green top and a beige under belly.
The cyndaquil stood on it's hind legs and looked around. It chirped nervously "C-Cynda?" (H-Hello?)
Justin greeted it "Hey Cyndaquil!"
It then realized Justin was possibly a trainer who would take him as a started and gleed "Cynda! Cyndaquil!" (Hey, Are you here to take me on a journey? Please take me!) He waved his little arms, signaling he wanted to be picked up.
Justin noticed "Awww! I think he likes me!"
Elm replied "That's a little unusual for a Cyndaquil cause typically most Cyndaquil are very shy and timid. But they are very friendly. I guess this one really want some attention."
Justin picked up the Cyndaquil and held in his arms and he could tell the Cyndaquil was enjoying the attention as he lightly tossed it in his arms it gleed "Cynda! Cynda!" (Weeee! This is fun!)
Justin said "Wow! He really seems happy right now!"
Elm said "Though I wouldn't surprise him or scare him, they do tend to ignite their flames to defend themselves. I actually think it likes you a lot, most Cynadquil really enjoy attention like you're giving it."
Justin held the Cyndaquil and he began to stroke his head. He said "You know what, I think I'm gonna stick with Cyndaquil! I really like this Cyndaquil!"
The Cyndaquil cheered "Cynda! Cyndaquil!" (You want me! I can't believe it! This is the happiest day of my life!)
Elm said "Is that your final decision? Are you sure want Cyndaquil?"
Justin nodded in approval and said "Yeah! I can already tell we'll be great friends!"
Elm replied as he handed Justin the pokeball "Good choice! I'm sure you'll make a great team! Now...Oh!?" Elm noticed another trainer walk in, wearing ripped jeans, a punk rock shirt and brown spiky hair and Elm greeted him "Oh, I thought you weren't coming in Zach!"
Zach said "Yeah whatever! I'm hear to pick up MY Cyndaquil!" He looked at Justin with a glare.
Justin argued "YOUR CYNDAQUIL! I don't think so!"
Elm added "I'm sorry Zachery but Justin has already made his decision to take this Cyndaquil."
Zach argued back in an arrogant tone "No, he can't take it! I reserved that Cyndaquil, and I can call my father and ask!"
Elm said as Justin picked up the Cyndaquil who looked at Justin "No, you never reserved it. I have a reserve list right on my clipboard and it has no record of you ever reserving a Cyndaquil." He checked his clip board to find the proof.
Zach pulled out his phone and he said "I can call my dad and he'll force you to give me the pokemon! My dad is the chairman of the Johto League and he'll make sure I get that Cyndaquil."
Elm didn't want to deal with him right now and he knew there was something wrong about Zach. He said "Fine…Just take it and get out of my lab!"
Justin gasped "B-But Professor!" He looked at the Cyndaquil who was equally shocked.
Elm told Justin "I'm so sorry Justin. I'll make sure I get another Cyndaquil for you tomorrow. You can stay in New Bark Town for the night and I'll contact you as soon as I receive a new Cyndaquil." He programmed his number in Justin's poke gear and he said "Here is my number."
Justin thanked Elm "Thanks…" He was kinda down about the fact that he couldn't get his Cyndaquil and he was really liked the Cyndaquil he held in his arms.
Zach demanded "Now hand me the Cyndaquil and poke ball and I'll be off!"
Elm handed Zach the poke ball and he took the Cyndaquil away from Justin. Justin could see how sad the Cyndaquil looked as it was taken away. Elm said once Zach was gone "There's something I don't like about that boy, and I'm pretty sure that Cyndaquil would've been better off with you than him!"
Justin wondered "Then why didn't you kick that punk out! I got to that Cyndaquil first!"
Elm explained "His father would sue me for a lot if I didn't give him the Cyndaquil. I don't like his father either and I wish he'd be fired from his job."
Justin sighed "That sucks…Well I guess I'll have to find a place to stay tonight…"
Elm told Justin as he walked out "Don't worry! You'll be sure to have a Cyndaquil by tomorrow!"
Justin said as he waved goodbye "It was nice meeting you! Later!" He walked out of the of the lab muttering to himself "That idiot Zach! He'll pay for taking that Cyndaquil!" He then noticed Odd strolling by with his Totodile again and he said "Hey you! You never told me anything about reserved starters!" He sounded kinda mad.
Odd replied, giving a quick laugh "Haha! I was just messing with you! The name's Odd Della Robia!"
Juistin greeted him "I already know, Elm told me about you! I'm Justin Gaines!" He shook his hand.
Odd then asked "So, since they were all reserved do you have any idea what you're gonna pick?"
Justin replied "I WAS gonna pick Cynadquil since he wasn't reserved…"
Odd interrupted him "Oh yeah! I forgot the Cyndaquil wasn't reserved!"
Justin glared at him, kind mad he interrupted him "…As I was saying, I was gonna pick Cyndaquil, but some punk took him away from me! He is so gonna pay!"
Odd replied as they walked along "Wow! Now that's the kind of guy who deserves a beating!"
"Definatley! All because of that jerk I gotta stay the night in New Bark Town until Professor Elm gets another Cyndaquil."
Odd asked Justin "Well until tomorrow you can stay at my house! I'm actually heading off tomorrow to start my journey with Totodile, right Totodile!"
Totodile replied "Toto! Dile!" (Yeah! I can't wait to own the competition!)
Justin thanked Odd "Hey thanks!"
"It's the least I can do for misleading you! C'mon, my house is not too far away from here!" They headed off towards his house and Odd said as they approached a two story building "Here it is!"
Justin said as he walked in "Wow! This is a pretty cool place you got here Odd!"
Odd said as he walked in "Hey mom! I brought someone over! He needs a place to stay while he waits for a pokemon so I let him come with me!"
Odd's mom came in from out of the room and asked "Oh, and who might you be?" She had purple hair tied in the back and she wore a maroon outfit.
Justin replied "I'm Justin Gaines! Pleased to meet ya!"
Odd's mother said "Well I hope you enjoy your stay!"
Odd then took Justin up to his room, ignoring his 4 sisters who kept an eye on his new Totodile, who knew something was bound to happen. Odd too him up into his room and he said "Well, here's my room and I guess you'll be staying here!"
Justin looked around his room and noticed his guitar, his large TV and couch and his Wii and he said "Wow! This is a pretty sick room you got dude!"
"Yeah, I just wish I had better security! My sisters…"
All of a sudden two young girls barged in and one shouted "LOOK AT THE TOTODILE!!!" They ran over to smother it.
Odd continued as he slapped himself in the forehead "…Always barge in like that!"
Totodile gasped "Toto!?" (What the!?) He was then being smothered by Odd's sisters and was pleading for mercy as they bothered it "Totodile! Totodile!" (Aaaahhh! Stop it! I'm not some kind of pet you can torture!)
Justin began to laugh "Ahahaha! I can see why!"
Odd told his sisters "Hey! Knock it off, go get your own Totodile!" They ignored him and Odd watched as Totodile begged for his help he called out to his mom "MOOOOOM!!!! GET THEM OUTTA HERE!!!"
Odd's mother arrived upstairs and wondered "What is going on?"
Odd explained "Tell them to stop torturing Totodile!"
Justin threw in "I really can tell he wasn't enjoying that!" He watched as his mom told his sisters to stop harassing the blue crocodile pokemon and they left. He said "Wow! Talk about invading your personal space!"
Odd explained as he helped his Totodile up "Yeah! They're horrible! Like this one time they locked me in the bathroom, and locked the windows so I couldn't get out! I was stuck in there for 6 hours until my mom and dad returned!"
Justin said "Sounds like you got it pretty rough!"
Odd said as he sat down on the couch and Totodile followed "Yeah, that's another reason why I'm gonna start my own journey! To get away from those monsters and have some fun competing."
Justin said "I just really want to be as good of a trainer as my parents. After all, my dad's a gym leader!" He threw in "Oh, and I want to just make a name for myself!"
"No way! That's awesome! You could so just get him to give you the badge! By the way, which one is he?"
Justin repplied "He's the Eucrteak City Gym Leader Morty, and no! I already tried to get him to do that! His ghost pokemo are pretty powerful and annoying!"
"I kinda like Ghost pokemon, as well as poison pokemon and dark!"
Justin said "I don't have a preference really." He then looked at his Wii and said "Aw dude! You got New Super Mario Bros Wii!"
"Yeah! You wanna play!"
"No duh! That game rocks!" They played New Super Mario Bros Wii for the next few hours, earning a few laughs as Odd's Totodile tried to play and got mad when he realized how horrible he was. Justin suggested "Dude, we should definitely have our journey together! It's more fun traveling with a couple friends and you're a pretty cool dude!"
Odd agreed "Yeah! That sounds like an awesome idea!"
Justin said "Alright! As soon as I get my Cyndaquil we'll head off towards whatever we come across first! Well, head towards the first city with a gym." The two friends continued to enjoy themselves and grow more acquainted and shared several laughs. This was the beginning of how Justin and Odd met, before meeting each other again at Kadic Academy, fighting XANA with their other friends Ulrich, Jeremy, Yumi, Aelita, and Abby.
I have no clue why I wrote this, but if it does well with reviews…If I get any…I will continue it and you'll learn about how Justin got his Cyndaquil and *in the epic voice* NO!!! He doesn't get it from Elm! Another thing is about our 2nd main character Odd. I know he's from Code Lyoko, but he's just such an awesome character from the show that I HAD to use him for this story, and also because he and Justin appear to be close friends, aside from Ulrich, in The Army of The Undead. They'll be joined by another character around Azalea Town who is not another Code Lyoko character.
Later, I still don't know why I wrote this, but enjoy it anyway!
