Chapter 1
The weather was perfect. The sun was shining, not a cloud dotted the sky, and there was a slight gentle breeze. Men and women went about their day smiles on their faces. The perfect start to a long journey.
A teenager moved down the side of Main Street, smile on his face. He was tall, with bright blue eyes, and short black hair. He was wearing a black leather jacket, white t-shirt, and blue jeans. His sneakers didn't make a sound on the stone, as he walked toward a sleek grey building with a pokeball sign posted out front. He opened the door and stepped in.
He was greeted with the sight of a Beedrill chasing a man with a lab coat around. The Beedrill had the man cornered when the man took a pokeball from inside the coat and used it on the Beedrill. The man had grey hair, with streaks of black, and a large white lab coat. He was small. He turned to look at the teenager standing in the reception area.
"Can I help you?" The man said moving toward the reception area. He looked at the teenager. His eyes went wide once he noticed who it was. "Jack, I have your Pokémon ready."
"Why thank you Doctor. I am wondering who it is because I thought I got to choose." Jack said, sitting down on the desk, as the professor walked into the back. He was back in a few seconds, with a Turtwig following close behind. It stopped to stare at Jack. Jack looked at the Professor. "Do you have one of those devices that allow the Pokémon to understand me, and I it?"
"Of course I do." The professor sounded hurt, and pulled out two needles. "The procedure states, that I inject both of you with the device. It goes into the skin, and then you can understand each other."
Before either one could protest, the professor shoved the needles into both of them. With a quick press of his thumb the microscopic device was injected into the skin. Jack rolled his eyes, while the Turtwig growled. The professor pulled the needles out. "That should do it."
"What the fuck motherfucker!" The Turtwig yelled angrily. "DID you think I wanted to be penetrated like that?"
"Calm down little man." Jack said one eyebrow raised at the attitude of this Turtwig. "The professor didn't mean anything by it."
The Turtwig turned to look at Jack, its face contorted in anger. "I wasn't talking to you pretty boy."
Jack leaned down and picked up the Turtwig. The Turtwig struggled and tried to cuss his way out. "PUT ME DOWN PIG FUCKER!"
"Listen to me, you annoying little fucker. I am going to be your trainer, so calm the fuck down." Jack spoke with a frightening iciness. He put Turtwig down gently, and looked up at the professor, leaving the Turtwig mumbling. "Now professor, I need my pokedex and I will be on my way."
The professor nodded and moved over to the receptionist desk. He reached down onto the desk and lifted up a pokedex. He tossed it to Jack. "That is my last copy, and if I may, can I ask a favor of you?"
"Depends on the favor." Jack put the pokedex in one of his pockets. "So what is the favor?"
"There is another kid who came in here earlier, who wanted a traveling companion but wanted some company." The professor walked into the back. He came back out a few moments later with another teenager in tow. He had brown hair, with brown eyes. He was wearing a green beanie, green jacket, and a black t-shirt. He had on black jeans, and hiking boots. The professor shoved him over to Jack. "This is Damian."
Damian put his hand out, which Jack shook. "My name is Jack. Hey I am traveling to Hoenn if you want to come with me."
"Sure, I was planning on going over there anyway." Damian said. "Do you mind if I let my Piplup walk with us?"
"No problem. My Turtwig will be walking with us, won't you boy?" Jack pushed the Turtwig with his foot. "We will be traveling with this guy and his Piplup."
"So we will be traveling with a Piplup and his devoted lackey." Turtwig stated, smug smile on his face. "At least it is better than you."
Damian took one of the pokeball's from his belt, and released a Piplup. It stood up and walked over to Turtwig. "We have to travel with this barbarian?"
"What did you say, bitch?" Turtwig was instantly in Piplup's face, anger radiating off of him. "I don't think I heard you right."
"I said we have to travel with this barbarian." Piplup was trying to stand over Turtwig whose face screamed anger. Before anything could happen Jack interrupted.
"Calm the fuck down both of you. Damian do you need any supplies, before we leave?" Damian shook his head, so Jack turned to the professor. "Thank you for the Turtwig. I am going to be on my way."
When he turned around, he saw Turtwig wrestling with Piplup who was bitching at being touched by a barbarian. Damian was standing apparently confused. "Guys knock it off."
"I don't fucking want to, bro. This is how we settle things in the hood." Turtwig said trying to bite Piplup in the face. "This snobbish bitch has to learn his place."
Jack lifted both of the Pokémon off of the ground. "Now listen to me, before I skin both of you, and wear you as a condom. I want to travel in semi-peace, so please try not to destroy each other, while I am looking."
Jack dropped both of the Pokémon who landed with a thud. He turned to Damian. "Do you have anything to add?"
"Then let's get the hell outta here." Jack turned and ran out the door followed by Turtwig and Damian. Piplup was riding on Damian's shoulder. The weather outside was perfect, same as before.
