Hello everyone this is my first fanfiction. I'm a huge fan of Pokémon; it was actually the first game I ever owned and I've loved it ever since! All I ask is that you are lenient with me, corrections are welcome. No flames please. Ps. I do not own Pokémon or its Characters only my Oc's
The Steel Dragon Chapter 1:Coming on a storm
The cool wind ripped around me as the planks beneath my feet groaned. The old vessel lurched through the oncoming waves once again as thunder cracked overhead, and misty brine swept past my face. Sailors ran amidst the deck making sure everything was secure calling out to one another for assistance. A peel of thunder rolls overhead and I smiled while standing on the bow. Slowly I turned my head from the clouds toward my side, to see my ever faithful companion kirlia standing there. "You know something Aether; I don't think I'll ever get tired of storms, they're so beautiful." I said. Aether looked at me with a small smile and nodded her head in approval.
With no warning whatsoever a roar that could rival thunder burst overhead. Not a moment later a massive salamence landed behind me with enough force to almost knock me over. As I attempted to right myself (very embarrassingly I might add) a gruff laugh broke through the whipping winds around me. "Haha I'm sorry Jack sometimes Drogo forgets his own strength." After finally standing up straight once again, I could see the owner of the voice. Standing before me was none other than Drake of the Hoenn Elite Four, but more importantly captain of this ship. With a smirk I looked to him and said " Its ok Drake I'm use to being around big Dragon types, Dads dragonite is huge after all." A predatory gleam crept into Drakes eye as he replied. "Oh yes young Lance has some strong Dragons, but I'm still young enough to give him a run for his money. That being said lad you need to go rest up, we will be in Pallet by morning and you need to be rested. I'm not losing my head to that monster of an uncle of yours because you got hurt on your first day." I could hear a bit of worry in his voice from the last statement; causing me to almost laugh. "Come on Drake you know Uncle Steven wouldn't hurt you he's a nice guy." "Says the boy who has never seen him go all out in battle." Drake muttered walking away. With a smile on my face I returned back to my room after placing Aether back in her pokeball.
As I entered the room; I looked over to the mirror on the wall to see my silver hair had been soaked from being out to long. My violet eyes showed unrestrained exhaustion as well. Maybe Drake was right after all I needed rest. Before crawling into bed I made sure to do a check over my things one last time. As I looked through my bag I did a count. Everything I needed was there: changes of clothes, pokeballs, rope, cash,and a few other essentials. That left one last thing, I walked over to a safe that had been place in the room and input the code. With a CLUNK the lock released and I opened the door. Sitting inside were my most prized possessions. One was a piece of rock that seemed to have a jaw imprinted on it. This was a gift from my Mother Elizabeth Stone or I should say Elizabeth Wataru. There had been rumors that Pewter City had learned how to revive fossil pokemon, and the thought of reviving this fossil almost had me shaking in excitement. The other two items were small disks. At the start of my journey; so I wouldn't have an unfair advantage I refused to take a beldum or a dratini as my starter. This of course saddened my Dad and Uncle but they were proud of my decision. That being said they didn't let me leave Hoenn without at least one TM from them. My Father had gifted me the TM for dragon claw while my Uncle gave me the TM for flash cannon. After relocking the safe I climbed into the bed, excitement filling me for what was to come tomorrow. Now the question is which starter should I choose?
AN: A huge thank you to everyone who read this chapter. I'm giving a fair warning ahead of time, I like strong trainers. That being said I'm not saying Jack will be invincible. He will have to learn a lot along the way some through loss. We will just see if he lives up to his legacy. Please Review. Tell me what I did right and what I did wrong. NOTICE ME SENPAIS!
