Salutations my loyal readers and followers. Today, I am starting a new story which will be the first crossover of these two areas. This will also be known as an x-over as I'll be using multiple cartoon characters in the story. For those of you who are not familiar with wayside, Google wayside wiki. This will most likely be my longest story so far. I'd also like to thank paoace12 who inspired me to start my own Pokémon story. Now, without further ado, I present….
Wayside: Kicking it in Kanto
By UltimateHero10
The story begins as we zoom in on a large light blue stadium. There was one large building in the center which held the most people with four smaller arenas surrounding it. The Indigo Plateau. The final destination for all Pokémon trainers after earning all eight gym badges in the Kanto region to compete in the Pokémon league championships. From a box up high in the stadium, the announcer began to shout…
Here we are Poke' fans! He shouted. After a long and fearsome competition, we have reached the final match in the Pokémon league tournament! Whoever wins today will go on to face the elite four and have a shot at our champion! Before we begin, let's not forget to thank everyone who competed today and gave us a day to remember! Now, without any further delay, let's introduce the two finalists! On one side of the stadium, there was a eleven-year old boy tightening the gloves he was wearing on his hands. He had peach skin and had dark blonde hair. He wore a black t-shirt under a black jacket with four pockets and dark brown pants and red and white shoes. With him were four other kids around his age if not older. The first was a short boy who was on the chubby side. He had brown skin and short brown hair. He wore glasses, a white undershirt over a blue sweater with short light brown khakis and long socks with black and white shoes.
The second was a white girl who had purple hair and two buck teeth sticking out of her mouth. She wore a dark/light green stripped shirt with khaki pants and blue sneakers.
The third was a white boy who had spikey red hair that was accessorized by a blue headband with two long bangs going down to the sides of his face. He was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with red stripes going down the arms under a yellow vest. He wore blue baggy jeans and wore black and red sneakers.
The fourth was another white boy slightly taller than the rest of them. He had long brown hair that had covered his right eye and had a strange yellow marking on his cheek. He wore a white t shirt under a blue open jacket with form fitting black jeans and blue and white sneakers.
"Well Todd, it's finally time. Said the redhead. You worried?" He asked the blonde.
"Sort of. Considering the situation right now, it's kind of hard not to be. The boy known as Todd replied. Especially knowing She's my opponent."
"Don't worry Todd. You'll do great. Assured the purple haired girl. The only thing you need to focus on right now is the battle."
"You better not lose either! Said the black kid. I won't allow someone who beat me lose in the final round."
"Um….thanks, Myron." Todd said cocking an eyebrow. Well…it's time. He said as he began to make his way towards the light of the stadium. Todd had walked out onto the battlefield and was immediately greeted by the sounds of the applauding audience.
"And here he is ladies and gentlemen! Shouted the announcer. Hailing all the way from the U.S. of A, please welcome Todd! Todd had waved to his left and right as he had took his place on the stadium battlefield. Even after all the sticky situations this trainer had found himself in, he always managed to pull himself out and persevere making it to the final stage! And now, his opponent. Suddenly, Todd could hear the sound of roller blades skating across the metal floor. At first the sound was faint. But soon it grew louder as it came closer and closer. Soon, a girl had came dashing out of the opposite side of the arena and launched into the air preforming several front flips before landing on the field and shouting…
"EXTREEEEEEEEEME!" She shouted causing everyone to erupt with praise at the stunt she pulled. The girl had white skin and long blue hair that was tied back into a ponytail by a red ribbon. She wore a hot-pink helmet with light blue flames outlined, paired with white and pink roller blades with white straps, white wheels and a blue stripe with white outlines down the front of each.
"Everyone, please, give it up for the extreme roller blading gal from the united states…MAURECIAAAA!" He shouted as everyone cheered for her. Don't let her looks fool you ladies and gents. This is not your average girly girl. Maurecia isn't afraid to get aggressive when the situation calls for it. Her hot-blooded way of battling had earned her the privilege of competing in the final round. Who will be crowned the champion of the Pokémon league today? Will it be Todd or Maurecia? Only one way to find out!
"Hey Todd! The bladder girl had shouted getting the blonde's attention.
"Huh? What is it?" He asked.
"You better not hold back! Because I know I won't be!" She shouted.
"Trust me, the thought never even crossed my mind." Todd said with a grin as he had reached for his belt and unhooked one of six balls. Each of them were red on top, white on the bottom and had a black stripe going around the middle with a large button in the front. As he tapped the button with his finger, the ball had expanded to the size of a baseball and fit snugly in his palm. Maurecia did the same. Except hers was a deep shade of purple and had a small flame inches above the button.
'Oh and, don't forget the deal we made if I win!" She said which made him wince a bit.
'I won't. He replied. But let's talk about that if you win! He said as he and maurecia tossed their balls into the air almost simultaneously.
"POKEMON….I CHOOSE YOU! They both shouted as the balls opened up revealing white streams of energy. The energy engulfed the entire screen.
-Six months earlier-
A yellow school bus rode up to the thirty story school known as wayside. The students piled out of the vehicle with Todd being the last. He was now wearing a white long-sleeved shirt under a blue shirt with green baggy pants and red and white sneakers. He had begun to make his way towards the front door when he noticed two people coming from behind the school's parking lot. They seemed to be looking over a map of the school. The first was an old man with dark brown skin and gray hair. He wore a white lab coat over a red shirt with long brown pants with dark brown shoes.
The boy next to him had short green hair that was parted into two bangs by an orange headband. He was also wearing a lime green shirt with orange pants and had black and blue sneakers.
"Am I reading this correctly? The boy asked as he had scanned the map of the unusually tall school building, It says that the class we're looking for is at the very top. And I'm not seeing any elevators!
"We have to walk thirty stories? Asked the old man taken aback. Oh, my back is already aching just thinking about it.
"Um, excuse me, did you say you were going to the thirtieth floor?" Todd asked as he had approached the two.
"Oh, yes. You see, we've been scheduled for a presentation in Mrs. jewels' classroom. Replied the man. However, I didn't think that the school would have been built so tall. We were just about to head inside.
"If you don't want to take the stairs, I know a shortcut to the top." Todd suggested.
"Is there an elevator that's not on the map?" Asked the boy.
"Sort of. Said Todd. Come on, follow me. By the way, my name's Todd. What are yours?"
"Samuel Oak. But everyone just calls me professor." The old man replied.
"And I'm Tracey Sketchit." The boy with the headband replied. The two had followed Todd up one flight of stairs. He then walked in front of a set of lockers and began turning the dial inserting the number code until it opened.
"Right this way." Said Todd as he motioned for the two of them to step into the locker.
"Um, is this some sort of a joke?" Asked a confused tracy.
"Trust me, I thought the same thing too at first. Said Todd. Trust me. This'll take us straight to the top floor.
"Well, if you're sure. Said Professor Oak as he had first stepped into the locker. Tracy followed and Todd had brought up the rear and had closed the locker door behind him. Seconds later. The there stepped out from behind the number thirty of the thirtieth floor.
"Here we are." Said Todd as he had shut the door.
"Wait, we were just on the ground floor. How did we-?" Professor Oak pondered.
"I wouldn't waste my time trying to figure it out. Said Todd. Come on. The classroom is just up ahead. Todd had lead Oak and Tracey into Mrs. Jewels classroom where said teacher and her students were chucking things out the window. Mrs. Jewels was a fourty-year old woman yet she still looked very young for her age. She had large poofy pink hair and wore a yellow scarf around her neck. She also wore a long sleeved yellow shirt under a green one and wore purple pants with black stilettos. Under the sweet looking exterior was an actually obnoxious teacher who on various accounts was unfair to Todd. Not a day passed during his time at wayside school that he wasn't sent home early on the kinder garden bus.
"Uh, Mrs. Jewels?" Asked Todd slightly confused at what she and his classmates were suddenly doing.
"Oh, good of you to join us. The teacher said. We were just in the middle of a project involving gravity. She continued as she tossed a ruler out the window.
"Heh heh heh. I haven't seen you for years and yet you haven't changed a bit have you?" Professor Oak asked as if he had known Mrs. Jewels. Upon hearing his voice, Mrs. Jewels had immediately dropped her desk which she was lugging towards the open window.
"Samuel? Is that you?" Mrs. Jewels asked as she walked over to get a better look at the professor.
"It's been a while hasn't it, Julia?" Asked Professor Oak.
"JULIA"?! Asked the students in unison.
"Class, this is Samuel oak. Me and him were partner researchers during my time in japan." Mrs. Jewels stated. We were set in the field of researching the interaction with Pokémon and humans.
"Wow, you've been to Japan?" Asked a wide-eyed Dana. Wait, what are Pokémon?"
"That's exactly the reason I've come here today. Said professor Oak as he had set down a black briefcase on Mrs. Jewels' Desk.
'"You see, your teacher here had recommended that some of her students travel to the Kanto region in japan to experience the world of Pokémon. Pokémon are mysterious creatures with special powers and abilities and there are quite a number of them around the world. The reason why you haven't seen a Pokémon yet is because they haven't had a chance to migrate to your country.
"Wow. What do these pokemon look like?" Asked a fascinated Dana.
"Are they huge with sharp teeth and claws? Asked Maurecia as she mimiced the description.
"'Actually, some are. Pokémon range from all sizes. Answered Professor Oak. Here is an example of a Pokémon. Professor Oak said as he took out a ball from his pocket. It was white on top and red on the bottom with a black stripe in the center and had a button on the front. It was currently the size of a ping pong ball.
"Is that a Pokémon?" Asked Myron.
"No my boy, but it is critical to catching Pokémon. Professor Oak answered. This device is a poke ball. These devices are used for catching and storing Pokémon. Up to six Pokémon can be on a trainers' person at one time. These poke balls are able to increase and decrease their size for easy storage. Professor Oak demonstrated by pressing the button in the middle causing the poke ball to expand to the size of a baseball.
"Whoa! Awesome! Said an impressed Myron.
"And that's not even the best part. Professor Oak continued as he tossed the ball into the air. Come on out, Charmander! Professor Oak shouted as the poke ball opened releasing a white stream of energy. The class had stared in awe as the energy released from the poke ball had begun to form a creature. The light cleared to reveal an orange reptilian creature resembling a tailed bipedal salamander with some dinosaur qualities, particularly like those of theropods. It had four small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws, four small claws on the ends of its arms a cream underside and an expansive cream coloration on the soles of its feet. The most notable feature was the burning flame on the end of it's tail.
"CHARMANDER!" The Pokémon shouted.
"AAAAAWWW! Went all the girls in the classroom being caught by charmander's cute appearance.
"He's a cute litter critter isn't he? Asked Jenny.
"And would you just look at the flame on the end of its tail?" Maurecia asked as she stared at the Pokémon's tail. She was about to touch it letting her curiosity get the better of her.
"Uh…I wouldn't do that.." Warned tracy. But it was too late as maurecia got close enough to get scratched by charmander's claws. It only got her in the arm, but it did manage to rip part of her sleeve off.
"Yikes. What was that about?" Maurecia asked.
"That was just charmander's scratch attack. Answered Tracy. I advise you not to get too close to charmander's tail. It's noted that if the flame on its tale goes out, charmander will die. This had nearly shocked everyone except for Mrs. Jewels.
"Oh my. Is it really that fragile? Having it's life span ended just by simply putting out it's flame?" Asked a now over exaggerating Dana.
"Unfortunately yes. Answered Tracy. But those who know of this manage to avoid that from happening. At least by any conventional means. But charmander can often protect itself in the wild as do most wild Pokémon. Charmander is a Fire-type Pokémon, Which means it can learn fire based moves such as flamethrower. Hearing this peaked maurecia's interest.
"Flamethrower? Awesome! Let's see that!" Said the bladder girl getting excited.
"Sorry, but charmander can't use flamethrower yet. It's still too young. Said tracy. As Pokémon grow, they gain experience and soon learn more powerful attacks. The easiest way to gain experience is by participating in battles with other Pokémon. When it has matured enough, it'll be ready to use flamethrower.
':"Then…I want to train charmander! Can I? Pleeeeease?" She asked.
"Maybe. First we have to do the trainer selection first." Said Tracey.
"Trainer selection? Asked Todd.
"Although I want my students to discover the world of Pokémon, I'm afraid that the professor didn't bring enough for the entire class. The trainer selection is a tactic we use to select those who get to go. We used to do this with the students back at the Pokémon trainer's school. Steven, may I borrow your hat for a moment? She asked to a boy who was dressed as an elf with a pumpkin on his desk.
"Oh, sure Mrs. Jewels." He answered as he took off his elf cap and handed it to his teacher.
"Alright Samuel, how many Pokémon did you bring with you today?" She asked the professor.
"If I remember correctly, I brought five Pokémon today including charmander. He replied. Which reminds me. Charmander, Return! Oak said as he had pointed the charmander's poke ball at it. In an instant, a red beam of energy shot from the button and hit charmander. Within seconds, the Pokémon was converted into energy and was sucked into the poke ball causing the class to gasp in awe once again.
"Hey, what happened to charmander?" Asked a slightly disappointed Maurecia.
"Oh he's fine. I just returned him to its poke ball. Explained Professor Oak.
"Whenever you want your Pokémon to return back to its poke ball, just point at it and say its name along with 'Return'. Explained Tracy. Now, for the slection exam.
Mrs. Jewels had begun tearing up sheets of paper, writing class names on them and then dropping them into Steven's hat.
"In this hat I have the names of all my students. Began Mrs. Jewels. The five names I call out will have the privilege of going on a journey to study and battle with Pokémon. And the first one is…She began as she reached deep into the hat and pulled out a name. …Jenny! She announced.
"Well, all right! Said the biker girl.
"Next up is Myron!" Continued Mrs. Jewels
"Haha! Yes! Shouted an over-excited Myron.
"Third name on the list is Dana! Said Mrs. Jewels.
"Perfect. I can't wait to see all the different types of Pokémon. Said dana.
"Maurecia!" The teacher called to the bladder girl.
"All right." She exclaimed.
"And finally….Todd." Finished Mrs. Jewels.
"Really? That's great!" Exclaimed Todd. But, what about school?
"Oh don't worry about that. She replied. The work you'll be doing will be more than enough to make up for your school work.
"Now, I believe it's time you choose who you will start your journey with." Said professor Oak as he had opened the black briefcase he had brought in revealing five poke balls which were laid out in a straight line, Every trainer starts out with a starter Pokémon to be their partner during their journey. Now, which one is first?
"I think we should do the order of those who were called." Suggested Mrs. Jewels.
"Excellent idea! Agreed professor Oak. Alright jenny, you're first! The biker girl had risen from her seat and had walked up to the five poke balls. She had looked them over until she had decided to take the one second to the one on the left.
"I think I'll choose this one. She said as she held up the poke ball. It had shown a reflection in the ball like a fun-house mirror.
"Well, toss out your Pokémon. Said Tracy.
"Right…um, how do I do that again?" Jenny asked.
"Just toss the poke ball into the air. " Said Tracy. Jenny had did just that as her partner Pokémon had appeared. The Pokémon looked like a small brown, and white/cream colored raccoon. Its bristly fur alternates in layers of cream and brown, and, due to the jagged outline, the fur has a zigzag pattern. It's head was brown with spikey ears and a jagged muzzle. It also has a black 'mask' pattern over its brown eyes and a black nose. It's feet have three claws, the forefeet colored cream and the hind feet brown with pink pads on the underside. It also has a spiky, bristly brush tail. The upper portion of its mouth is jagged in outline.
"Zigzagoon! It shouted after being released.
"Zigzagoon! Looks like an energetic little Pokémon. Said tracy.
"ZIG, ZIG!" It said as it ran around in a zigzag formation.
'"Well aren't you a spry little pup?' Asked jenny as she had bent down and rubbed zigzagoon's head. I'll call you ziggy.
"Alright Myron, you're up." Said Mrs. Jewels
"I bet I'll get a super strong one!" Said Myron as he had quickly reached for the middle poke ball.
"Come on out Myron 2!" He shouted as he had tossed the ball into the air. As the energy from the release dispersed, it revealed a quadruped reptilian like creature that somewhat resembled a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. It had three white claws growing out from each of its four legs. Its eyes were bright red and has small teeth which are visible when the mouth is open. The most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back by its mother at birth.
"BULBA!" It shouted.
"What the-? What is this supposed to be? Asked a confused Myron. Some sort of plant monster? Hearing the insult caused the Bulbasaur to growl under its breath.
'Watch it. Tracy warned. It may not look like much right now, but give it time, and bulbasaur turns in to a total powerhouse!
"Wait really? Asked Myron.
"Really really. Replied Tracy. You'll see what I mean soon enough. Alright Dana, your turn to choose.
Hmm, two Pokémon are gone and only three remain. Which should I choose?" She asked as she scanned the three remaining poke balls in the brief case. I think I'll take this one. She said as she had taken the one form the far right of the briefcase and tossed it into the air. The ball opened up revealing a Pokémon that was overall different than the other Pokémon. It was a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, circular metal body with a horseshoe magnet on its left and right sides, and a single big eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body; two are near the bottom of its body, and the other is on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose.
"MAGNIMITE!" It said in a monotone like fashion.
"Incredible. This one seems to be more robotic than the others! Said Dana as she had looked over maginmite's design.
"An electric and steel type! That's a good choice dana. Said professor oak. Steel type Pokémon are known to be very resilient in terms of defense. Now, maruecia. Your turn. Maurecia had immediately swiped the poke ball from the case and tossed it into the air with vigor. When the poke ball opened revealing to be the charmander from before,
"Charmander! It said upon being released.
'Alright! Score. Maurecia said as she had picked up her new partner Pokémon. I think I'll call you Todd Jr.
"Char? It asked tilting it's head. Todd Jr.? Is it me or is she naming me like I;m the baby of the Todd kid? The charmander now known as Todd Jr. thought.
"Okay, only one Pokémon left. Go ahead Todd. Said professor oak. Todd had stepped forward and grabbed the last poke ball in the briefcase,
"Oh well, something is better than nothing." Todd said before tossing the poke ball up into the air. The ball opened and in a stream of white energy appeared a short-tailed bipedal Pokémon. It resembled a light blue turtle with the most notable trait being the hard shell on its back. Three digits were located on its hands and feet.
"SQUIRTLE SQUIRT! Shouted the Pokémon upon being released from the poke ball.
"Haha! You got stuck with a turtle! Laughed Myron. The best that thing could probably do is hide in its shell. Myron was about to continue slamming on Todd's Pokémon, it had suddenly spat a stream of water from its mouth ceasing his taunting. He was now dripping wet and had an annoyed look on his face.
"HAHAHAHA! Serves you right." Thought the bulbasaur he had insulted earlier.
"Hey there, Squirtle. My name's Todd. He said as he had bent down to his new partner's eye level. How'd you like to come with me? He asked as he held out his finger for squirtle to shake.
"Squirtle! It said with a smile as it had shook todd's finger agreeing to travel with him.
"See? Now that's the kind of relationship you need to establish with your Pokémon." Said an impressed Tracy. Now that you've all chosen your partners, you'll be set to leave for the Kanto region in japan tomorrow morning. But first, we must discuss how you five will travel the Kanto region,.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Maurecia.
"Well, you really didn't think that you'd all be traveling as a five person group did you? Asked professor oak. No, in order to properly gain experience, you need to spend time by yourself instead of collectively. However. I will allow two person groups to be formed. Explained professor Oak.
"Oh Toooooooodd… Maurecia sang in a sing song fashion. She had got closer to Todd making him slightly uncomfortable . Why don''t you and I team up? We could travel the region together. See the said as she clasped her hands together as little hearts began to float above her head.
"Sorry Maurecia, but I'm afraid Todd won't be joining anyone. Said Mrs. Jewels causing the hearts over the roller bladder's head to break and shatter.
"What? But…but why?" Said a now obviously disheartened Maurecia.
"Because Todd had brought in guests without even notifying me first. Stated Mrs. Jewels. And since he's leaving for japan for the sake of research, I can't really punish him by putting him on the kinder garden bus. So instead, his punishment will be traveling the kanto region by…him…self! She stated as a low sounding trumpet played for each of the words.
"But that's not fair! How is he supposed to survive out there by himself?" Maurecia asked.
"Well, that's partly why we have Pokémon on our side. Said professor oak. Besides, you'll have to gather all your starting supplies at your home.
'It's okay Maurecia. I'll be fine. Said Todd. As long as I got this little guy with me. Said Todd motioning towards squirtle.
'"Glad to see your up to the task. You kids will be splitting up in separate parts of the kanto region to begin your jourmey. We shall discuss more upon arrival. See you tomorrow. Said professor oak as he and Tracy began to leave. But he suddenly popped his head back in the door to say.
"Oh, Todd, can you show us the way down? I'm afraid I might wander into another dimension if I try any doors I'm not aware of.
"Oh, sure professor. Said Todd as he had grabbed squirtle's poke ball and pointed it at him.
"Alright squirtle, return! Tidd commanded as he had returned his starter to its poke ball. As todd left the room, everyone had gathered around Maurecia, Jenny, Dana and Myron asking them about what they've been asked to do,
And I'll end the first chapter here. Next time, the kids prepare to go to the kanto region and begin their journey. But before they part ways, they have a contest to test out the strength of their new partners. Next time, Chapter 2:Battles In pallet Town! Please read and review!
