A/N: Now, I bet your all thinking "just what is she thinking, starting a new fic in the middle of two others?" Well, not really my choice. A promise is a promise. so like I said in the last chapter of Unsderground Rainbow, this fic is for my friends at school. Don't even ask how this happened, it was a total moment of boredom for all of us. Of course, I had to wait quite a while for them to give me details about their characters. We started this in November.
So now, I give you the total crack that we can think of in a total of 45 minutes. I'm sorry for the lame start, but it's not my character, and I hate writing in first person when I don't care too much about the story.
Adventure Indeed
Hoenn Arc chapter 1
I looked out the window, a wide smile on my face. It was the day after my eleventh birthday, and it was finally they day I go to Little Root town and become a Pokemon trainer.
While my life in Rustboro City was fun, there's nothing better than knowing that I'll be able to live the life of the trainers I've heard so much from. I'd be able to go to places like Slateport, Lillycove, Mossdeep, and even Ever Grande City. Maybe even further!
Now this is just me being overly excited, I know, but can you blame me?
I smiled as I slipped on my black jacket, thinking about all the possible choices for a team. I had already decided on mine the moment the postcard came in yesterday, so I was already set there. Now I just had to look for Pokemon to make the perfect team.
I looked myself over in the mirror. My short, dark blue hair was combed down instead of sticking out everywhere, which will probably change sometime soon. My red shirt was ironed out, without a wrinkle in place, and my jeans were free of any rips or tears.
I heard my mom call me down. Roxanne musy already be here. I hurriedly grabbed my backpack and PokeNav, pausing before snatching up the letter from Tsuyuki.
It's been two years since she moved to Twinleaf Town in the Sinnoh region, and today should have been the day she started on her journey too, if her letter was anything to go by. She'd said a lot of weird things, but it looked like she was happy with her new Ghastly. I suppoe I'll catch her some Ghost-types, since she loves them so much.
I hurried down the stairs, taking care not to trip. Roxanne stood at the doorway at the foot of the staircase, arms crossed and her own smile on her face.
"Ready to go?" She asked, watching as I fixed the straps on my shoes. I decided not to use ones with laces, since it seemed like it's be pretty invonvenient. I straightened out my jacked, before pulling on my backpack, slipping the postcard and letter into my pocket, the PokeNav strapped to my shirt.
"Yes Ma'am." She nodded, and with one last good-bye to my mom, we left.

"So, do you know what Pokemon your going to get?" She asked, waving to a group of her students. While she was the Gym Leader and teacher at the school, she was also in charge of takin new trainers to Little Root town for their first Pokemon.
"You bet." I said cheerfully. She nodded.
"I'm sure you already know all thins, but I'm going to have to explain some things for your journey on our way, alright?" She said, and I nodded this time. I needed a refresher anyways.
She stopped, pulling out a Pokeball and trowing it into the air, a Graveler appearing in a flash of red light before us. I looked at her, amazed.
"This will make travel much easier, so take a seat on one of it's arms and I'll explain everything you need to know."
xXxXxXx
When she said 'faster' she really meant it. It didn't even take us three hours before we were in Petalburg city, where we stopped for her Graveler to rest. And by that, I mean she put it back into it's Pokeball and called out another Graveler. I know she's a rock type Gym Leader, but isn't having two of the same Pokemon going a little overboard?
Once again, I found myself seated on the arm of a rather fast graveler, passing through the nearby Oldale town while Roxanne went on about the different status conditons and situation they may appear in.
"... remember to always carry an Antidote or two woth you, no matter where you are. There's a rather large ammount of trainers teaching their Pokemon Toxic nowadays, so you can never be too careful. Don't forget the stock up on plenty of Revives too, since you may find yourself..."
I don't think she noticed, but I tuned her out the moment she got to Awakening and Burn Heal, in favor of visualizing my future team. I had half a ming to challenge the gyms, but those can be done on passing, since I'm not exactly aiming to become a Pokemon Master like most people. I know Tsuyuki is aiming to become famous enough that she can buy a house and fill ot up with Ghost-types. While that's not my number one goal, the idea of having a lot of Pokemon is appeali-
"Oof!" I got a faceful of dirt when Graveler stopped abruptly in front of a building. Perhaps I should have been paying more attention on this trip, instead of zoning out.
"We're here." Roxanne said, walking past me to the lab. I stood up, brushing the dirt off my blue jeans. I wanted to leave a good impression on Professor Birch when I got my first Pokemon.
I walked in after her, staring at the ammount of technology. While Hoenn was a counrty-like region comparred to Johto or Kanto, Birch's lab had the most machines I'd seen in my life. Said man was standing in the back of the room, Pokeballs set side-by-side on the tablenext to him.
"Hello, you must be Jesse." He said, holding out a hand. I nodded, shaking it, before turning my attention to the Pokeballs. He noticed my imaptience, returning it with a laugh.
"I see your eager to get your first Pokemon, eh?" He laughed. "Well then, I think it's time to introduce you to your choices." He reached for a Pokeball, but I raised a hand.
"In all respect sir, I already know whick Pokemon I want." I had to stifle a laugh at his look of surprise. Obviously not many people came to his lab with a choice in mind. Did that make me weird?
"I see." He said, smiling. A lot of people seemed to be smiling today, was it the idea of a new person joining the world of Pokemon? "Well then, who would you like?"
"Mudkip." I said, pointing to the Pokeball where the Mudfish Pokemon lay waiting. The tops were transparent, allowing trainers to know right away which Pokemon was which. The professor nodded, picking it up and handing the Pokeball to me. A Nuzleaf walked in, carrying a tray over it's head. On it, spread out, were a Pokedex and five Pokeballs.
"These are your Pokeballs, they allow you to capture and caryy your Pokemon." Yes, thank you professror, for telling me something I already know. "You need to weaken a Pokemon before you can catch it though, so be careful." Yes sir, I definitely didn't already know that. He handed the red-and-white devices to me, and I slid them into the pocket of my jacket. He reached over, picking up the red device. "And this is your Pokedex, it allows you to gather data on Pokemon you meet and capture. It's been completed recently, so there's need to worry about not knowing about a Pokemon you may meet." Now that I didn't know.
"Completed?" I asked, silently wishing it wasn't. The idea of catching all kinds of Pokemon and adding them was interesting, but it seemed that wasn't possible. "By who?"
"My daughter." He said with a smile. "And the son of the Petalburg Gym Leader. They worked to complete the Pokedex for me a few years ago, now their off in other regions gathering data there."
I was a little disappointed at the discovery, even after accepting the Pokedex. Roxanne walked me out, with a few last words before we parted ways.
"Remember, you gotta take good care of all your Pokemon. Don't just focus all your attention on Mudkip, I know a trainer who did that, and she was not at all prepared for the league because of it."
"I understand. " I said, looking into the Pokeball. Mudkip was fast asleep. "But I don't really plan on challenging the league. Honestly, I don't know what I plan on doing." She gave me a strange look, one that I returned with a determined one.
"But I think I've got a while to decide."

A/N: I'm ending this off here because, I'm sorry my friend, but I'm getting bored of your character already. He's a pretty flat character until Sinnoh, which is 9-14 chapters away depending on how much of Hoenn I wanna put in. Not to mention, unlike my characters in other stories, he's not a sarcastic bastard or a complete air-head, nor absent-minded, so I can't have fun with it. Sorry dude, you need to give me more to work with.
No one worry though, cuz this will get pretty interesting when we get around to Sinnoh, so bear with me til then. I won't be putting chapter titles in the story, since it's too much work.
