This is my pokemon fanfic. It is a 'prototype' so to speak, as in I'll continue it if you like it.
It is based more off the manga and games than anything else, because the anime sucks.
It is based in Sinnoh.
Small note: the currency used is the same used in the games. It is denoted by a 'p'. It is pronounced "poh-kay."
So, instead of 3 dollars, it would be 3 poke. Comprende?
Taking Wednesday
A fan fiction by Arrista
There was a quiet little town, tucked away in the quiet part of the country. This little town was so little that it only had 16 houses. Since it was a small town, everyone knew each other. This little town had stood it's own during the tests of time, and to prove it, there was a particularly old man that did nothing but tell stories of the olden days.
Said man was currently standing in the small town's cemetery, in front of a grave. This man was clearly past his prime, pushing 90 years old. He was bald, and had a cane in one hand. His clothes looked tattered and old.
"You shouldn't have died that way," he said silently.
Just then, the town's small children came running up to the old man. He smiled, and nodded.
"Let's get out of here," he said. "I'll tell you a story."
Grabbing one of the smaller children with his free hand, he walked them to a tiny cottage that wasn't too far away. In front of the small cottage were multiple benches, facing the cottage. The children took their seats there. The old man took a seat on the cottage's porch. The seat faced the kids.
He cleared his throat, and began. "There once was a boy. This boy wasn't just any boy, for he had an extraordinary gift..."
The story had begun.
The TV was blaring. On it was a stadium full of people. In the middle of the stadium, there was a field. This field was the location of a pokemon battle. On one side, there was a beautiful girl, who looked about 17. She had blonde hair that extended to her back. She was wearing a blue dress, what matched her steely blue eyes. On the field in front of her was a lady-like white and blue creature, with a red hornlike protrusion from her (for the pokemon was a girl) stomach. She was a shiny Gardevoir.
Across from the Gardevoir was a large pokemon, whose eyes looked completely closed. This large dark brown pokemon ran towards the Gardevoir with it's glowing fist raised, defiantly screaming "Snorlax!"
The Gardevoir dodged the incoming Mega Punch, and retaliated with a psychic. A large energy field surrounded the Snorlax. It bellowed a "Lax!" before fainting.
"And the winner of the Sinnoh League Conference is none other than Jess Wednesday!" the announcer said. The blonde girl, Jess, took a bow.
The boy watching the TV abruptly sat up, and turned the TV off. "She gets all of the attention..." he said. He looked to be about two years Jess' junior, making him around 15. He had messy blond hair, with streaks of light blue razing the tips of it. Contrary to what his classmates thought, his hair naturally grew like that. He was about average height, around 5'7" or so. He was sitting in his room, on his unmade bed. The TV was on a table in front of him.
"Dinner!" a voice came from downstairs, in the kitchen.
"But I'm watching TV," he replied.
"Silas Wednesday, you get down here and eat your dinner!" his mother yelled back.
Silas shuffled his feet while moving. He wasn't wearing any shoes, but he did have socks on. He was wearing blue jeans, and his shirt was a navy blue one. On it were the printed letters SLC, standing for Sinnoh League Conference. On the top of his head was a red bandana.
He walked out of his room, and made his way downstairs. The living room was dark and empty.
"Mom?" he called.
"SURPRISE!" yelled a girl, as she stepped out of the living room with the lights turning on. Behind her was a shiny Gardevoir. Silas' mother stood next to Jess.
"What are you doing here?" Silas asked, with a dumbfound look on his face.
"I'm here to visit my brother on his birthday. 15 years old today. Congratulations." She said.
"Isn't it wonderful?" Silas' mother, Mrs. Wednesday said. "I'll go make some coffee." She walked into the kitchen.
Silas sat down on the couch.
"I thought you'd be living the high life, winning the SLC and all. Didn't think you still had time for us little people." He spat.
"Now, you don't have to talk like that to me. It's your birthday, after all. I have a present for you." Jess replied. She reached behind her and pulled out an egg, about the size of a size ten boot. It was white with green stripes on it.
"An egg? Like, to eat?" Silas said, grabbing the egg.
"No silly, it is a pokemon egg. It's about time you had yourself a pokemon." She said.
Silas looked at the egg hopefully. My own pokemon! He thought.
Silas was walking through the forest. He was wearing a red coat over his normal attire. On his back were the necessary items for a long journey, and a pokemon egg, wrapped tightly for insulation. In his mind, he replayed the events of what happened a little over an hour ago.
"But sis, you know I can't have a pokemon. Mom would never allow it." Silas said, still clutching the egg.
"I know. That is why you are leaving. It's time you went on your own journey, like I did." Jess replied.
"Stop talking crazy. Mom will never let that happen."
"Not if I have anything to say about it. Garbevoir, Hypnosis!"
The Gardevoir moved into the kitchen, and shot a beam from it's head, knocking Mrs. Wednesday out.
"Now, go up into your room and pack all of the things you need."
"But what about mom?"
"I'll handle her. You need to hurry."
Silas ran upstairs, and packed clothes and everything necessary for extended travel, all into one backpack. He came back downstairs.
"Now, head east. You should pass a lake called Lake Verity. You should be in Twinleaf Town at that point. Stay the night if you want to. But continue east to Sandgem Town. There lives Professor Rowan. He can help you on your journey. Now, go!"
Silas left with haste.\
As he was trudging along, he saw a sign that pointed north, saying "Lake Verity."
He pretty much ignored it. He glanced up, and happened to see a shimmering light. The light was vaguely crescent shaped, and was pinkish and yellow. "Cresselia!" the light exclaimed, and zoomed off.
"I wonder what that was..." Silas thought to himself. He walked into a small town, Twinleaf Town. Since it was dark, he looked for a Pokemon Center, for his stay over night. He saw the red-roofed building, and approached it. He entered. The main room was basically empty, save for two people: A nurse Joy and a brown haired girl.
Behind the brown haired girl was a small blue pokemon, a Riolu. She was sitting at a table eating.
Silas approached the nurse.
"Is there a room open for the night?" he asked.
"Sure. That will be p300."
Silas handed her the money.
"There is a free meal to go with your room. The tables are over there. A waiter will be with you shortly." Joy said.
Silas made his way over to a table, one opposite of the girl with the Riolu. He set the pokemon egg on the table. The waiter came by, and he ordered a hamburger.
"Nice egg there." The girl said.
"Uh thanks..." Silas replied.
"My name is Harriet. But my friends call my Harry." She said, sitting next to Silas.
"Harry, isn't that a boy's name? Heh, my name is Silas Wednesday." He replied.
"Wednesday? Are you related to Jess?"
"Uh. Yeah. She is my sister..."
"That's cool."
"Not really-" he was cut off by a cracking sound. His egg was hatching!
It moved back and forth, with cracks appearing on it's surface. The shell came open, and out stumbled a small white pokemon with a green head. "Ralts!" it said, looking at Silas. It waddled forward, and latched on to his arm. "Ralts!"
"Aw, looks like you're a mommy!" Harry said.
"Shut up!" Silas replied. He picked up the Ralts and carried it over to the Nurse Joy.
"Nurse, could you please look at this pokemon? My Ralts just hatched and I want to know if it is ok." Silas said.
Well, that's it. Let me know what you think.
