My Pokémon Adventures (In Unova)
Chapter 1- Nuvema Town and a Starter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. Pokémon belongs to the Pokémon Company, Game Freak and Nintendo. However, I will be borrowing characters and possibly altering behavioral styles. My character is my own creation, based off of Sora (Kingdom Hearts, anyone?) with spiky black hair, a dark gray short sleeved jacket with black cargos just below the knees (use your imagination to picture him), and black and gray running shoes.
Isaac woke up to a very bright room. His first thought: 'IT BURNS!' When his eyes adjusted, his dad was standing by the window.
"You should have woke up sooner. Now you might be late!" his father scolded. He then proceeded to exit the room.
Isaac got up, stretched, and then thought about what today was. With a jolt, he spun around to look at his alarm clock. Sure enough, it read 10:40 AM. He had twenty minutes to get to the Professor's Lab. Isaac hurried around his room, grabbed his usual clothes, took a quick shower, and grabbed a Pop Tart for breakfast as he left his house, saying, "Bye!"
He thought about the day before: his birthday. He had turned 14 on March 1st. He thought about it more as he jogged to the Lab. He woke up late today; he usually woke up at six to seven in the morning to do chores. After, he would watch real battles on TV or YouTube. Of course, he would play video games too. Soon, Isaac would get to be in battles of his own, that's why he was going to see the Professor.
He was just halfway through the town when he saw something unusual. When Isaac just happened to look at the sky, a red streak zipped by at around cloud level. His curiosity caused him to stop and stare as it passed by. It faded from view just as Isaac remembered he was in a hurry, so he continued at a brisk pace.
Then the Lab came into view. It was a fairly small building, containing the necessities for life and tools for scientific work. Isaac knew this because he worked with the Professor on scientific experiments on multiple occasions. He slowed to a walk to enter the Lab. As he passed through, he greeted the scientists he knew. When he was near the back, where he knew the Professor was, his best friend (and soon-to-be biggest rival), Kevin jogged up to him. Kevin has red hair (short and uneven, very evil looking to him), wears red and black long sleeved shirts, no matter the temperature, and red cargo pants. His shoes are always red (he really likes red).
"Hey Isaac! Sleep well?" he joked.
"Yes, I did in fact. You ready for this?" Isaac asked, as the two friends kept heading to the back.
"Of course! I didn't pack all my stuff for nothing. Hey, I think that when we get going, both of us should travel separately. You know, so we can train at our own pace, and not know what the other has been doing. That makes it more exciting, right?" Kevin suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Isaac agreed as they entered where the Professor was. She was sitting at a laptop connected to a machine that was analyzing three red and white spheres with a button in the middle of each. Professor Juniper is the youngest of the five professors, and is the only female of them. She always had her hair in a bun, and always wore a lab coat. Her father is also called Professor Juniper (confusing much?).
"Hi Professor," Isaac and Kevin said at the same time. Professor Juniper finished scanning and turned around.
"Hey! How are you boys doing this fine day? You were making me wonder if you were coming or not, " she said, getting up and walking over.
"We're good. Anyway, it's only two minutes after eleven! Me and Isaac were just talking, that's all." Kevin explained.
"Hahaha! You and your excuses Kevin! Nevertheless, you guys ready to start your adventure?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Isaac and Kevin exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Alright! Let's go get the things you'll need. Isaac, I was informed that you need a new backpack, correct?" Professor Juniper guessed, leading them to a table with four trays containing different items. Isaac nodded silently as she handed him a single-strap backpack, and Kevin took his bag off his back. She instructed them where to put the items in the first two trays in their bags to maximize their space. When they finished putting potions, status restores, Pokéfood, and Pokédollars in their bags, she placed the other two trays in front of them.
"Here are five spare Pokéballs and your PokéDex. The Pokéballs go into the right pocket. Your PokéDex has this case to clip onto your belt for easy access." she instructed them. "The PokéDex already has your Trainer ID registered to it, so don't lose it! Now, let's go and get you guys a Pokémon!" Professor Juniper turned to lead them to the scanning machine.
"Isaac, since your birthday was yesterday, you get first dibs," Kevin told him, gesturing to the three Pokéballs. Isaac walked up to them. He knew what Pokémon were in the Pokéballs: the right held Oshawott, the middle contained Tepig, and the one on the right had Snivy inside.
"This one," he decided, picking up Snivy's Pokéball. Kevin chose the one in the middle.
"Hey, Isaac! How about a battle before we separate?" Kevin suggested.
"Sure. I want to see how Snivy battles," Isaac agreed.
"I'll be the judge. Normal battling rules apply: when one Trainer's Pokémon is unable to continue, the other one wins!" the Professor said. The three went outside to the Lab's battle field. Isaac was on the left, Kevin on the right.
"Tepig, let's go!" Kevin shouted, throwing the Pokéball in the air, and in a flash of light, the fire pig was revealed. Both Trainers scanned Tepig with their new PokéDexes.
"There is a headset in a compartment on the back of the PokéDex. Put it on your ear!" Professor Juniper said. When Isaac put it on, he was surprised to hear Tepig speak: "Hey! Who's my opponent? Hurry up already!" That's when He realized the headpiece was a translator!
"Alright, Snivy, let's win our first battle together!" Isaac called out, throwing the Pokéball upwards. "Let's do this!" he heard Snivy announce, but it was weird. It sounded like a female, not a male, and he thought all starter Pokémon were male. When he checked the PokéDex, Snivy, sure enough, was a girl. Isaac looked through her moves and became shocked when he saw Attract. 'Perfect!' he thought. "Snivy, use leer!" Snivy did, and Tepig winced.
"Tackle, Tepig!" Kevin ordered. The fire-type launched himself at Snivy and landed the attack. Snivy was knocked down, but got up fast.
"Okay, you use Tackle!" Snivy's Tackle wasn't as strong as Tepig's, but it still looked like it hurt.
"Tail Whip!" Kevin told Tepig.
"Quick, use Attract!" Isaac said to Snivy. Snivy was faster, so she winked at Tepig before he could react, and he stopped to gawk at the grass snake. "Now, Tackle with maximum strength!" Isaac directed. Snivy said, "Okay!", ran full speed at the fire pig, and Tackled him hard. Tepig flew towards a surprised looking Kevin, who caught him, but, due to science, forces, and power, fell down.
"Tepig is unable to battle. Snivy and Isaac are the winners!" Professor Juniper signified.
"Yes! We won!" Isaac ran up to Snivy and picked her up in a hug. "Great job Snivy. Are you hurt or anything?" he asked. "No, I'm not hurt. It's just a scratch." Snivy answered. "We're going to be the best partners Unova has ever seen!" Isaac said. "Yes, I'm sure we will." she acceded.
Kevin put Tepig back in his ball, and walked over as Snivy got onto Isaac's shoulder. "Great battle you two. Man, Isaac! It's like you were born to battle! Here's the prize money." He handed Isaac 500 PokéDollars. "Well, I'm going to the Pokémon center to heal, and then I'll be off. See you on the road bro! Thanks for the stuff Professor!" Isaac and Kevin shook hands and waved goodbye to each other.
"Thanks for everything, Professor Juniper. I have to go and pack now. Bye!" Isaac said as he waved to the Professor and started the walk back to his house to get ready for his journey.
A/N: My first story! I will be switching point of views (POV) next chapter, which starts Isaac's journey on Route 1! Will Isaac catch any Pokémon on Route 1? Will he ever find out what that red streak in the sky was? Will I stop asking obscure questions? (Maybe) All this next chapter! Remember: Read, Review, Comment/Flame, Something!
