(A/N: This is taking place about 3 years after the happenings of D/P the VIDEOGAME. It's not in the game world though, moreso a combination of the game and the anime. Just so you know. Like, distances wont be THAT spread apart so it wont be like ten chapters between Floaroma and Jubilife. But it will follow anime not-turn-base battle style and plot and towns and everything.)
Wind blew through the lands, centered from Mt. Coronet and over the vast northern region known as Sinnoh. As the winds lowered and moved west, the lands of Sinnoh seemed to end. The wind was ominous and put an eerie feeling on those who noticed it. A small girl at the Jubilife Trainers School did notice this though.
"Trouble at Spear Pillar," the twelve-year old noted softly while copying her notes onto the board.
"What did you say, Kayla?" the high-pitched voice of a twelve year old boy next to her startled her. She turned towards him and then smiled.
"S-sorry Alex, you startled me. Nothing though," she looked into the open window next to her, hoping to get a good view of the Mountain. The Jubilife Trainer's School didn't allow a great view at the mountain, mostly because of the tall buildings of the bustling city blocking it.
She looked at her notebook now, full of notes. She didn't bothering copying the Type Advantage and Disadvantage notes on the board. This was all basic stuff to be reviewed for the final tomorrow.
If you passed the combination of both an examination and a pokemon battle against your fellow pairs, you get a Trainer's pass and are eligible to go on your journey. "Class dismissed," announced their teacher, Lucas. The blue-haired man nodded at them to leave and sat down to begin work.
Kayla got to her feet, shuffling around a little to gather all of her stuff before she headed out of the door and north of the town. Unlike most of the people at Jubilife Trainer's School, she lived in Floaroma Town. Why? Floaroma didn't have a trainer's school, just regular. Plus, it wasn't that much of a walk. Ten to fifteen minutes, and there were several ways to avoid wild pokemon.
But, Kayla didn't need to as she had a pokemon. She smiled gingerly, and took out the pokeball that she had.
"Go Sentret!" she pressed the button and opened the pokeball as a blast of light shot out and her Sentret bounced up and down on its tail as she minimized the ball and put it back on the strap across her chest.
She allowed it to bounce to her chest and wrapped her arms around it, allowing it to be held in her hands as usual. It was the first pokemon she captured for school and for lessons. At the start of your last year you are to run out and catch a pokemon with the aide of school pokemon.
Using a Shinx, she got this Sentret south of the Trainer's School at Jubilife Park.
Kayla had soft caramel colored skin, and big brown eyes to match. She got the skin tone from her mother and the eyes from both her mother and her father. She had long, slick dark brown hair. It's long and slick texture extended from her mom and it's color from her dad. Her outfit consisted of a red, black and white hat with a pokeball on the side. Her top was dark grey with starling silver buttons down the front. She matched the blouse with a short black mini-skirt. Although, it wasn't very slutty at all because her skin was then covered by long black thigh-high socks.
Her boots were white on the side and red down the front, along with four black straps placed accordingly. Her outfit was finished off with two pairs of black fingerless gloves that extended up to her elbows and a yellow backpack with a strap across her body that held her pokeballs.
So far, she had one. To top her outfit she had a red open long vest with a black fluffy attachment at the back of the neck.
Kayla ducked into the small dark cavern, gripping her Sentret a little hard because she was scared. You would think that she would get used to it after traveling so much, but her mother used to walk her home. Ever since a couple of weeks ago when she started working in the store opened up for Honey, she had to walk home alone.
She exited the cave, and found herself a short walk from the entrance of the village. Smiling of relief that her walk was almost done, Kayla sped up her speed of walking. Sentret wagged its tail happily and Kayla found herself inhaling the fresh flowers of Floaroma.
She practically ran to her house, passed the Pokemon Center, the Flower Shop and a right at the Contest Hall and to her house. Taking her key from her bag, she opened the door and went inside. "Mom?" she asked sweetly, taking off her bag and putting it on a hook.
"You home yet?" she asked, not sure of her mother's working schedule today.
"In here honey!" yelled her mom from the family den and she crossed from the kitchen into the den, where there was a leather couch and leather loveseat both facing a television. Currently, her mom was watching a contest.
"Oh, where is this contest?" she asked, curiously.
"Lake Valor... it's the Grand Festival!" Kayla's mom watched intently as an array of sparkles rained over a moonwalking Buneary. Kayla sat next to her mom, munching on some popcorn.
"Is your final tomorrow?" she asked, not really facing Kayla and moreso focusing on the television screen. Now there was a spinning Hitmontop, whose feet were expelling a colorful energy throughout the area.
"Yeah, the test is going to be easy. It's the battle I'm worried about," she added on with a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. It wouldn't be that hard, she told herself. She was easily one of the smartest in her class, but not much of a battler.
In all honesty, she had never won a battle yet with Sentret. She faced three wild pokemon on three different occasions and lost all three of them. Digging her hand into the popcorn, she stuffed a handful into her mouth. Rather unladylike, but she chewed it all down anyway.
"Well, hun, I hope you do good. By the way, dad's going to be home in time for dinner. He had been caught up at the Windworks... some studies that were seemingly important that needs to be continued."
"Mom? Is it Friday?" she asked curiously, although she already knew the answer. Sometimes you asked those questions... it was just human, right?
"Yes, hun, why?" she replied questioningly, turning away from the Grand Festival for once to face her daughter with a confused look.
"Nothing, I'm going to go visit Graham!" She said in a quick tone before running from the couch and walking to the door, pushing it open and quickly hurrying to the Valley Windworks.
Who was Graham? He was her friend who was a Pokemon Collector/Breeder. He wanted to collect all of the Eevee Evolutions and then breed Eevee eggs. He was going to start his journey soon, such as her. He went to regular school in Floaroma but his mom wouldn't allow him to travel until his 13th birthday.
Running across the berry patch she saw the entrance to the farm and saw the pokemon that always appeared there on Fridays. Drifloon. She looked at the balloon pokemon, Sentret still in her hands and she let it go free. "Sentret! Bounce!" Sentret began bouncing up and down on its tail, higher and higher.
"Now! Pound!" as it lowered, it swung its tail powerfully towards the Drifloon to hit it, but it went straight through the balloon pokemon, who now gathered up its energy and released a powerful gust of wind that caught Sentret in the air and then threw it down.
"S-Sentret!" Kayla whimpered and got to her pokemon's side, who got up in determination. He didn't have any non-normal type moves and Sentret charged forward.
"Sentret, no, dont!" she yelled but he tried pound again and just as it's tail neared the pokemon, it released its Gust again and caused Sentret to faint on impact and to be thrown back to Kayla's hands.
"I... I fail as a trainer..." she mumbled, tears poling in her eyes and slowly streaming as she returned Sentret. She hadn't ever won a battle.. and she couldn't win tomorrow. It was all going downhill.
It was a relatively short battle with an experienced pokemon. She wasn't sure of its level, or Sentret's for that matter. Maybe it was way more experienced, and she should've known that Normal type moves weren't effective against Ghost type Pokemon. It took her just now to realize that Drifloon was a Ghost type.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Kayla? What are you doing all the way here?"
"Oh, hi dad. I just, um, was checking Drifloon, thats all," she lied and tried to hide her crying eyes with her black hair. Fortunately, her dad was rather gullible.
"Oh, I was just going on a lunch break. Don't make your mom all too worried," he scurried past her and into town, but then dropped something out of his pocket. She looked at it and opened it, only to hear a female voice.
"Hello, I am Pokedex X. How may I serve you?" her eyes went wide at the talking contraption and held it up to Drifloon.
" Drifloon, the Balloon Pokémon. Drifloon is filled with air and can either expand or shrink to express its feelings. It also likes damp weather." She gasped as it showed all of its Total Stats, Ability, HP, Moves, and every other essential.
She gasped, as it was also very thin and recorded so much information. She looked through the entries and immediately scanned over every pokemon in the field.
"Oh, I see you found the Pokedex X," she turned around to see one of her dads co-workers. No, it wasn't a co-worker. It was the boss!
"S-Sorry... I found it on the floor," she mumbled and handed it to him, and he took it and looked through it nodding.
"While, it seems to run well. You added a bunch of entries. Hm, you take a resemblance to one of our workers..." he put a finger to his lips, thinking extremely hard on who it was.
"Michael," refreshed Kayla.
"Aah, Michael. Yes, yes. You are the noble daughter of his ready to go on a pokemon adventure. Well then, I will grant you that Pokedex X. A little gift to a new trainer." He laughed whole-heartedly and Kayla smiled.
"T-thanks Mr. Kuso," she remembered the name of her dad's boss after talking over dinner that one time.
"No problem, young trainer," he said, walking past her for his lunch break. She slipped it into her pocket and ran home, wanting to tell her parents the news.
"You're examination begins... NOW!" He started it as soon as the stopwatch on his poketch started and Kayla looked down at her multiple choice test, taking her pencil and flicking it against the paper.
The questions varied from easy to hard, but she notably found a bunch of the questions easy due to her extensive studying and knowledge of pokemon.
What type has an advantage over Water?
- Grass
What type has an advantage over Fire?
- Water
What type has an advantage over Grass?
- Fire
What type has an advantage over Dragon?
- Dragon
What type has an advantage over Flying?
- Electric
What type has an advantage over Ground?
- Ice
What type has an advantage over Poison?
- Psychic
What type has an advantage over Bug?
- Flying
What type has an advantage over Steel?
- Water
What type has an advantage over Rock?
- Water
That wasn't all that was in the test either. There were another 15 true and false questions about Pokemon breeding, Pokemon in general, League rules and the likes.
Of course, they were easy, except for the League questions which she was sure that she got them all wrong. All five of them. A twenty out of twenty-five would pass her for sure, but now they were all sitting in the waiting room waiting for the scores to be posted.
"How do you think you did Kayla?" asked Voda, a boy a year younger then her but in her class. He spoke fast and was rather jumpy about things.
"I think I did pretty well and passed... but the battles are going to be hard for me really," she spoke with a low tone, nearly mumbling but not quite.
"Oh... well I hope I pass. Battling is going to be the fun and easy part!" He pumped his fist in triumph. She didn't know him much, but he always bragged on how he was a good battler. He even showed off his new Luxio, which was formerly a Shinx he trained every day, and won a battle with it on school grounds.
"For you anyway," she mumbled and then turned her head the other way causing him to scowl.
"Aww, look what the cat dragged in. And look whats she's wearing," Kayla gripped her hand into a fist and glanced at the girl.
"What do you want Clarabelle?" Clarabelle was a beautiful trainer, rich as well, and had all the boys at her feet. With a snap of her finger her dad could hire his staff could get her any pokemon. Even rare ones. It was exactly why she had a Teddiursa, which was a shiny variation of the pokemon. She grinned.
"I want to show off my new Poketch," she flashed her wrist around and showed the new Poketch 2000X. Kayla rolled her eyes, her father ran the company that processed Poketchs and because of that, she modeled the new versions. And got paid.
"Do you have anything that could match up to my Poketch? No, I didnt think so," she said, batting her eyelashes at Voda who jumped up. "HI CLAR-" he was interrupted by her moving closer to Kayla.
"Huh, what is that contraption?" she pointed at the slim lavender pokedex hse had in her hand and she flipped it open.
"The Pokedex X... a new version. It's not even out yet, this is the first one!" she showed it off and flipped it, showing its voice, which could be changed, and it's high-tech entry. As well as its new application for HM and TM discs, sliding the disc right in and shining the light over the pokeball or pokemon.
Everybody awed at it and Kayla smiled, finally having to top Clarabelle. It took her so long... but this was her moment! "No, thats a fake," Clarabelle lied. She snatched it from Kayla and ripped it in half. "See? It comes right apart..." she dropped it to the ground and walked away laughing.
"B-bitch," she muttered under her breath, picking up the pokedex as the crowd moved to the wall where the battles were being shown for who advanced.
She put it together, due to it being made able to be put back together and put it into her bag, walking up after the crowds cleared to see her name on the first battle. Her opponent though, didn't surprise her.
Clarabelle. Cliché things like this always happened in fanfiction. (1)
The two stood on opposite ends of the battlefield at the Trainer's school. It was a light brown ground field with white lines painted along it. It was the basic field-appearance and this would count to either trainer's official record, as well as decide who gets their Trainer pass.
"Teddy! Go!" Clarabelle tossed her pokeball and out came a green Teddiursa doing a backflip who landed perfectly. She was fully aware of the powerful competition. With Sentret already in her arms, she opened her arm and allowed Sentret to bounce happily towards Teddiursa.
"Begin!" said Lucas and he waved a flag.
"Teddiursa, Scratch!" Teddiursa ran forward and threw its little arms forward, it's claws extending to create a powerful scratch.
"Bounce... now!" quickly intertwined Kayla and Sentret bounced upwards just as Teddiursa was going to use scratch and cause the pokemon to fall over, due to its balance disarrangement.
"Teddy!" called out Clarabelle as Sentret kept bouncing on it.
"Now Sentret, bounce up and pound it with your tail!" Sentret bounced off of the Teddiursa once more and as the shiny Teddy Bear Pokemon got to its feet, it was faced with a punch from Sentret's tail.
"Grab it and throw it!" Clarabelle was being rather ruthless after her pokemon took all of that damage and Teddiursa grabbed the tail of Sentret with its palm.
"Spin and throw it!" Clarabelle commanded once more and Teddiursa spun around rapidly, throwing Sentret all over the place before finally releasing and Sentret crashed into the ground, nearly fainted but not quite.
"Sentret, recover from that hit. Bounce!" Sentret began to bounce up and down.
"Oh no, that wont work again! Teddiursa use Dig!" Teddiursa extended its claws and dug into the soft ground and dove inside and kept burrowing through.
"Jump up where Sentret is and hit with Focus Punch!"
Teddiursa burst from the ground before Kayla could say anything, its tiny hand glowing with a large sphere of energy.
Teddiursa was a quick pokemon and hit Sentret straight upside the head and her cute little pokemon was thrown up into the air and Teddiursa got up to surface, smiling.
Kayla found herself with a plan.
"Sentret when you are up, glide!" Sentret's arms were attached to its body sort of like wings and it started to fly around, the wind carrying the pokemon.
"Now, curl into a Defense Curl!" Sentret did as so just as Teddiursa looked along, and Clarabelle couldn't think of a plan yet so fast.
"Now, throw yourself at Teddiursa!" Just as Teddiursa was on its way down due to gravity, Sentret rolled like a ball towards Teddiursa and easily took out the shiny pokemon, which laid flat out fainted as Sentret landed near Kayla.
"I won! I cant believe I won," she said loudly, squealing as she jumped up and down and Clarabelle went to check on Teddiursa, crying.
Immediately following her battle Kayla was given her Trainers Pass, which automatically allowed her to challenge the Pokemon League or register for a Contest Pass if she wanted to.
But today, she was at home and was going to leave tomorrow. She was eating her dinner of hamburgers and fries, while idly talking to her parents.
"So, hun, are you going to be a coordinator or trainer? Me and your dad were talking and I said coordinator and he said trainer," she had an anime-style sweat-drop because her parents bet on her.
Now that was a huge question.
"You know, I really have no idea. I heard of a contest in Jubilife City soon, so I'll head south for that contest. See how I like it, and then challenge the Orebourgh Gym to see which I like better."
Her parents nodded and she immediately told herself that is what she was going to do. Jubilife was a short walk from Floaroma indeed and took her ten minutes, so she could stay at home until then. The contest was only in two or three days. But, she needed to capture pokemon.
That is what she was going to do tommorrow. That would start a journey of a new trainer.
(End Notes.
So I might have the Eevee Evolution collector guy be her partner for the journey. He'd probably want to go to Eterna Forest and Route 217 for the newest Evolutions, the ones that he needed.
By the way, just so you know, the next chapter will be devoted to her training and capturing a pokemon.
After that is the Jubilife Contest.
Filler chapter/travel.
