First story! Yay! I hope you enjoy it. Note; I did not copy the idea of there being three trainers, two boys and one girl. I simply liked that idea.
The first thing Jalob Hader thought when he woke up was " Man I can't believe I woke up to an alarm on Saturday, I almost never-". But his thought was interrupted by another thought. "Wait. If I woke up with an alarm on Saturday, that specific Saturday must have been important. Now think." He then looked at his Water type a month calendar and looked at this particular Saturday afternoon, and realized: "OH MY GOSH I'M SUPPOSED TO GET MY STARTER POKEMON!"
Jalob rushed out of bed and into the bathroom to brush his teeth. "This is no time to brush my teeth a full two minutes! I'll just brush fast and chew gum on the way over there". He spat out the spit and toothpaste from his mouth and rushed over to his dresser. He took off his pajamas with the Cubchoos on them, and got out a pair of clean underwear. He ran up to his closet and picked out a shirt randomly. "Orange tee shirt? Fine, I guess. It's not like it's cold out side."
Then he grabbed some jeans from his drawers and tried to put them on while going down the stairs. Luckily, he didn't fall flat on his face, but he stepped on his aunt's Lillipup's chew toy. It was the small ball with spikes all over, so he was in quite a bit of pain. As he lay there on the ground, Jalob wiggled into his jeans, and sprang up into the air. He ran and jumped into the air. When he landed, his feet slipped perfectly into his shoes. Another lucky break for Jalob!
He grabbed his backpack off his chair in the dining room, and called out" Aunt Elisha, I'm leaving!"
"Don't forget the Max Repels I left for you out on the porch! You don't have your Pokemon yet!" His Aunt Elisha had brown hair that was mid back length. Jalob was with his aunt at the moment because he lived in Castelia City. He stayed at his aunt's house to make the journey more bearable.
He rushed out of the house and grabbed the 2 Max Repels his aunt had left out on the porch. As he ran, he started to spray himself with it. He could see Patrat and Lilipups peeking out of the grass to se what the commotion was. Unfortunately, they couldn't get a good look because the Repels smelled horrible, which kept the Pokémon at bay.
He could finally see the town of Nuvema come into view. As he ran, he tripped on a sleeping Patrat. Jalob fell flat on his face. As he got up, he could see some blood on his face. His mom had given him 1000 Poke dollars. He stopped at a Vending machine back in Castelia city and bought a Freshwater, a Soda Pop, and Lemonade. He took out the Water and took a sip from it. Then he used some to get the blood off his face. He then started to run again to the Professor's lab.
He burst through the door. "I'm here Professor!" As he looked around, he saw that Jason was already there.
"Ha. You're late", he said with a smug look on his face. Today he wore a brown tee under a green hoody, with dark blue jeans. His hair sprouted to the left from the middle.
"Ah, you're here Jalob. Its so nice to finally meet you". Professor Juniper turned around to look at Jalob. " Wasn't there supposed to be someone else here to?"
The door flung open again, and in rushed Lilah Hannigan. She had long blonde hair with a ponytail. Today she wore the pink skirt with bluish purplish jeans on. She wore a blue and white over shirt, and had light orange eyes.
"Sorry I'm late everybody! Had to stop at a pokemart!" She walked over to Jalob, Jason and Juniper. "When can we pick our Pokémon?"
"Right now. Now, who will pick first?"
Jason stepped forward and declared, "It should be me. I was here first, so it only makes sense that I should choose first".
"Oh I know!" exclaimed Lilah. "Let's play Fire Grass Water".
"I like that idea", said Jalob.
"Then it's a deal!" said the Professor of the Unova region. "Let's do this. On three. One, two, THREE!"
"HAHA!" yelled Jason. "I BEAT YOU BOTH! THAT MEANS THAT…uhhh..I.. beat you.." For Jason had counted his Torchics before they hatched.
"Oh, you won Jalob," said Lilah," congratulations"
"No fair," muttered Jason under his breath.
"Oh, I think t's quite fair, Jason," said Juniper.
"Alright then. Here I go." Jalob looked at the Pokeballs on the table. On the left, the Grass Pokémon Snivy, in the middle, the fire Pokémon Tepig, and on the right, the Water Pokémon Oshawott. "Hmmm. I think all of the Pokémon would be a good choice for me. But, I seem to have a better connection with Snivy. When I looked at him. He seemed to smile. A smug smile, but a smile nonetheless. Then it's decided."
"I choose Snivy!" Jalob held up the Poke ball with Snivy.
"Yeah yeah. You don't need to be so dramatic," said Jason. "Now come on, let's go again! We need to decide who gets to chose next"
"Ok, but don't be a sore loser if I win" said Lilah, as she gave a small wink and stuck her tongue out slightly.
"One three," both Lilah and Jason said at the same time. "One, two, Three!"
As their hands came down, Jason's formed into the shape of the Fire, which was two tiny horizontal flames. Lilah's hand formed the shape of the Water symbol, which was a flat hand, representing the calm surface of water.
"Yes, I won!" Jason yelled.
"No need to be a sore winner too you know," Lilah muttered under her breath.
"All right Jason, go and pick your Pokémon," said Professor Juniper.
"It's no contest. The Pokémon I choose is," as Jason picked up the ball in the middle, "Tepig"
"Yay!" yelled out Lilah. "I was really hoping for Oshawott".
"Can we battle yet?" inquired eager Jason.
"NO! I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A NICKNAME FOR MY POKEMON!" yelled out Lilah.
"Can you speak up?" asked Jason "I don't think the people IN THE KANTO REGION HEARD YOU!"
"It's not nice to yell at people like that!" Jalob himself yelled.
"Oh my," the professor of the nova region said. "It seems like you all have a long way to go before becoming respectful people. But, you are after all only 10 years old.
"I've got it!" yelled Lilah. She leaned downed and talked to Oshawott. "How do you like the name Riptide?"
"Oshaosha," said the newly named Riptide, as he stuck up his thumb in approval.
"What do you think of Inferno, Tepig?" Jason asked his new Pokémon.
"Teptepig" said Inferno, who liked his name.
"How about you Snivy. Would you like a nickname?" asked Jalob.
Snivy shook his head. "Then I'll just call you whatever evolution you're on. Is that fine?" Snivy nodded his head in approval.
"Alright then, " said Jason. "Let's have a battle then Jalob! Go Inferno!
"Tepig!" squealed Inferno, seeming just as eager as Jason to fight.
"Alright then," said Jalob," Go, Snivy!"
"Sni" said Snivy.
"But now who go's first?" asked Jalob
"Well," said Juniper, "your Snivy has a higher speed level than Jason's Tepig. So you will be able to make the first move.
"Alright!" cried out Jalob. "Now Snivy, use Leer!
"Sni". Snivy glared forcefully at Inferno the Tepig.
"Te-te" whimpered Inferno, but he quickly regained courage.
"Why would you use a stat altering move? They are the lowest form of Attack. Now use Tackle!
"Tepiig!" yelled the fire type Pokémon as he forcefully rammed Snivy.
"Are you okay?" asked Jalob
"Sni Sni," replied the grass Pokémon.
"Good. I want you to be ok. Now, Tackle!
"Sniii!" Snivy yelled as he rammed himself in Tepig.
"Wait! Why does Inferno take more damage then your Snivy?" Jason wondered.
"That's because Leer lowers defense, so when Snivy used Leer, that allowed him to deal out more damage"
"Ah man!" complained Jason. "That's not fair!"
"But it is. If it wasn't fair, stat moves wouldn't exist."
"I hope he doesn't whine this much when I beat him," said Lilah.
"You stay out of this!" warned Jason. "Alright Inferno, use Tackle!"
"Tepig!" yelled Inferno as he threw himself at Snivy. Snivy was close to losing, but so was Inferno. It could go to anyone.
"Alright Snivy. I think because of Leer, we'll beat him. Now Tackle!"
"Snivy!" Snivy launched himself at Inferno. After Inferno had been hit, he fell to the ground.
"What happened?!" asked Jason.
"Isn't it obvious? Inferno fainted" said Lilah.
"Ugh. I'll get you next time!"
"Jason," said Professor Juniper," why don't you come over here so we can heal Inferno"
"Fine then".
As Jason walked to the back of the lab, Lilah said "Jalob, do you want to battle me next?"
"Sure Lilah, but first, I have to heal Snivy" said Jalob.
"Do you have any Potions? Cause I'd be happy to lend you one."
"No thanks. I've got some waters in my backpack. Now drink up Snivy."
"Sni Sni." Snivy took a sip from the Water and instantly felt rejuvenated. "Snivy Sni"
"Awesome. I think we are all good now" said Jalob
"Splendid! Get ready to fight! Go, Riptide!
"Osha Osha," said Riptide.
"Go, Snivy!
"Sni!"
"I can tell this will be a good battle" exclaimed Jalob
"Good luck" said Lilah.
"Wow, those were some intense battles" said Juniper.
"I can"t belive I lost both though." Jason whined.
"Stop acting like a baby." Lilah said. "Your just mad that you couldn't beat either of us."
"By the way, that was a good match Lilah" stated Jalob. "I guess using Leer three times in a row was my down fall, but I thought it would help me."
"It's ok. Just a beginner's mistake".
"So, what are you guys most excited about?" asked the Pokemon professor.
"Huh?" Jason murmered.
"What can't you wait to experience on your journey?
"Battleing gyms of course!
And at the exact same time, Lilah and Jalob said "Creating strong bonds with Pokemon and people".
So what do you think? First story, so hopefully I get good reviews. All criticism is taken. Here"s PM389, saying peace out.
