Though Chris and Dak are my characters, I do not own Pokemon. Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures Inc. do. I also do not own the brand of cotton swabs Q-tips. (You'll find out.)This is written as Fan Fiction. Please don't sue.

"Look, sis. I don't got nothin' against ya, but it's just not right!" A rather tall looking boy said to a young woman. They looked like they had been discussing things for a while, and like they weren't agreeing. "I don't want you to get hurt because of it!" They both were at the edge of a dock in Summerland, their legs dangling off of the edge.

"They do it in other regions all the time!" She yelled at the kid.

"Yeah, they cram the little things in Pokéballs! Think about that for a Wailord! They do that. To Wailords. Think of the Wailord." He said with a hint of passion, and a dash of sarcasm at the end, a rather odd pair.

She laughed and said "I knew this was gonna be brought up. Why the hell do you think I brought you here to talk about it?" She was right. He was more comfortable talking about it with her in Summerland than anywhere else. "This is my decision, okay? Don't worry!"

"Yeah, but what about Mom and.." He said, before he was stopped by the girl

"You really think I give a care about Franklin and Mom?" She laughed again. "Uh, I've been planning this for forever, you know that, right?

"What about a license?"

"Got it. You have no idea how easy they are to get. Like, there was this one question that was, 'What type is a Magikarp?' You'd think they'd make harder questions..."

"It's ground type, right?" he said sarcastically. They both laughed. The boy looked like he could pass for twelve or thirteen because of how tall he was, but he was just 11, old enough to be a trainer in other regions, but he and his sister had decided against it, because capturing Pokémon in red and white balls was taboo in their little island chain. Now, however, the sister was serious about it. "Why don't you just become a Pokemon Ranger, huh?" The boy said.

"Those squares? Hell no! I'd sooner.."

"Drop dead because of Beedrill, or shove ten thousand needles in my eyes. Arceus, use something different."

"I was gonna say…"

"Eaten by a Gyrados?"

"Yeah." She was 14, but as her bother did, looked slightly older because of how tall she was, just not nearly as old. Her long light brown hair went down to the middle of her back, contrasting the dark brown hair of the boy. She wore a black short sleeved T-shirt, not the best color for today, but better than the boy's red polo shirt. They both wore jeans; the girl's being a darker blue than the boy. Their eyes seemed to be the only things that matched, both of their eyes a dark brown. "Well, it's not like I won't miss this place."

"Where are you gonna go?

"I'm thinking Johto. I hear it's a good place to start."

"It's a ways away from here, ya know."

"Well, it might be, but I gotta start somewhere."

"Well, you'd better e-mail me stuff. Or you could get me one of those Pokétch they got in Johto."

"That's Sinnoh."

"Dang it!" He yelled as he banged his fist on the dock and started laughing. "Sinnoh's closer, ya know. You should go there."

"Nah, I heard they take a lot of stuff way to seriously. Besides, there's still Rangers."

"What's with you and Rangers, Dak?"

"What's with you and Rangers, Amadeus?"

"Don't call me that, Dak."

"Fine Chris, fine." She laughed and got up and brushed herself off.

"What about Orre? Sarah went to Orre." Chris said as he followed his sister in getting up.

"I want to make my own legacy, not to follow somebody else around." Dak, otherwise known as Dakota, sighed. "I've already got tickets to Sinnoh, and then I'm going on another boat to Johto. I'll be leaving in about a week."

"Passing through Sinnoh... So you can get me a Pokétch, huh?"

"What would be the point? You're not a trainer."

"Yeah…" They both walked away from the docks side by side, both thinking about how the future would turn out. Chris looked around and then started singing, "I've got a feeling... A won..."

"NO!" Dakota yelled as she punched Chris in the arm and laughed, "Don't sing that song. EVER. " They laughed still. Life wasn't getting better than this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the boat to Sinnoh, the smell of the salt water was all around. Wingull flew alongside the boat as it crashed through the waves, and even besides this, the Pokémon on the boat were innumerable, ranging from the smallest Hoppip, (Great for windy weather) to a rather scared looking Charizard, protecting its tail like a holy grail because of the ocean spray. The boat wasn't that big however, mainly containing people from Fiore returning to or going to Sinnoh, more than likely for family, the Pokémon strangely taking up most of the boat. Unlike most of the passengers, who were on the dock, Dak was in a small room looking through a pack of her belongings. She had double and triple checked everything the night before, but she felt like something might be missing. To her grand surprise, nothing was missing, but something extra was in the pack. It was a flip-open cell phone, colored in a metallic blue. Inside the unflipped phone, like a hotdog in a hamburger bun, was a note scribbled on a small piece of paper. She slid it out of the phone and read it.

You think YOU'VE been saving? You have no idea how many favors I had to call in to get this thing.

Laterz~

She snickered, half at the note, but half at the last part. The kid's 12, what favors? She inspected it to find it had two cameras on it, one on the outside, and the inside, as well a keyboard on the inside. She turned it on to find that it was more like a PDA than a regular cell phone; if the two cameras weren't hint enough that it wasn't a normal cell phone. "How the heck did you get this Chris..?" She said as she messed around with interfaces and gadgets. Only one contact was in her menu- Undecided Philosopher. She called the number and put the phone to her ear.

Eventually a kid's voice blasted out on the speaker, "It's a video phone." Dak jerked her head back because of how loud it was. She laughed when she saw her brother who was sitting obviously at a computer desk, indicating that she connected with his computer. "Your ear is beautiful by the way. You might want a Q-tip or something…"

"How did you get this?" Dak asked as she subconsciously tried to clean her ear with her pinky, finally realizing what the second camera was for. Return video feed. Smart.

"Something offa the Internet I'm beta testing. Took a while to get it though, so don't break it." He joked.

"Okay, yeah…" She said kinda in a surprised voice. "How's it working out here? In the middle of nowhere?"

"Well…" He paused. He looked around for something by the computer. He started tearing up the room behind the desk, looking for something, making Dak laugh at the idiot on the other side of the webcam. He gave up his search after 5 minutes and said "Dunno. Mew fairy dust?" He sat back down in a chair and mumbled "I know it's here somewhere... Something about satellite internet…"

"Alright. So, why exactly do I have it?"

"You ever heard of a Pokédex?"

"Duh."

"You think you're getting one?"

"Duh."

"No. You're not. Budget cuts and stuff for researchers cut down on stuff like that, so odds are they're not gonna give a girl from Fiore one when there are people who have known Professor Whatever for forever don't have one. So, you use the internet for a Dex. Perfect, huh?"

"Dang it… Wait, why the heck wouldn't I know this and you would!? You're not the trainer!"

"Internet." Chris laughed.

"Were… Let me guess. One of your nerdy gaming groups."

"Hay! Caverns and Salamance isn't… Yeah." He looked down and sighed as his sister smiled at him. He then typed something on his computer before continuing, "Anyway, the net's pretty much has all the info you could want about the Pokémon in Kanto. 'Sept for some, like Legends, and they're…"

"…Just legends." She interrupted. "There's a reason they're called that, bro."

"True that… True…" He then paused as he looked more intently at the computer screen. "Except for Mew! Mew's no longer Legendary! They just put a picture of it on some book…"

"Yeah. Just like how there's such a thing as a red Gyrados." She sighed before saying "There's a book on 'The Search for the Red Gyrados'"

"Bu…"

"And look at this one!" She said sarcastically. "This one says the world was made by a Pokemon with a Thousand Arms!"

"Myths aren't always wr…"

"And this one's about a green ferret that lives in some golden Pokéball and is supposed to travel through time! Oooohh the Truthiness!" She laughed after this, obviously loving tormenting her brother.

"Shut up." Chris said while blushing, as it became apparent that his sister wasn't interested in a floating pink puff of fur.

"That's right. I win. I…" She started before an announcement came on the speaker.

"Er.. This is your captain and if you look out the front you can see Iron Island, and then the Sinnoh Mainland… If you are…" Dak didn't catch the next part. She shouted "Gotta go!" before she closed the phone, grabbed her bag and busted out of the room. She ran to the front, followed by a few children dragging parents, and looked out. Sinnoh. One step away from Johto, and one giant leap away from Fiore.

Notes: Yeah. First story, and even then it's just the beginning. I've got a few weird things planned, and some awesome.

ANYWAY- Critique please. Cuz, ya know. I like better-ness. Bear with me, if it's even the right way to say 'bear.' This is just small plot development stuff. This was actually supposed to be two chapters, but two chapters of zero action seemed... Bland. So, hopefully I won't bore with details abut tech and her brother much more. This chapter just kinda took on a mind of it's own, and I just realized I still need to get Dak to Johto, and I don't have a name for the Phone. O SNAP.
