Alright, hey guys, what's up, it's Fancy, and welcome to my first story: Hoenn - Where The Journey Begins! I guess everything will be in the description, so I don't have to explain much. I just want to say that every future chapter will show Lows' Pokémon Team below, so you guys won't be confused. Also, there will be questions of every chapter too, be sure to check them out! You can also check out my YT channel for more updates of my fanfiction page or my videos! c/ItzFancy
Note: The year of this story is 2004. The age of the characters in the game may be different, but overall it should be fine. I used 2016 before, but I changed it because some parts may not be fitting to the year, and reasons that will be revealed as the chapter goes.
Also, Lows' pronunciation is "Laos".
But anyways, enjoy the prologue of this story! :D
-Fancyyy
Prologue
"Where...is this place? I better get back home fast, or not...AHHHHHHHH!" I saw many different Pokémon were behind me, chasing after me. My mind was filled with fear and I quickly ran away from them, despite not knowing where to go.
"Oh no, they are still behind me! I better...run faster...Ouch!" Without noticing, I tripped over a rock and fell down. I couldn't run as my leg was injured. I saw those Pokémon flying and crawling towards me. I couldn't help but screamed on top of my voice.
"HELP ME...HELP ME!" I screamed as loud as I can, even though I knew that no one will hear me despite that I'm in this weird place with no one in it. Just when I was going to accept my fate, a tall looking guy suddenly showed up with 6 Pokéballs on his belt.
"Warrior, take those guys out!" As the tall-looking man yelled, he sent a Pokémon out, who was quite large in size. The Pokémon landed on the ground, which made the ground shook a bit, and all the terrified Pokémon ran away from them after seeing the enormous size of the Pokémon. After the man got those Pokémon out, he quickly came to me, as he knew that I was still terrified from the scene.
"Little boy, are you okay?!" I tried to speak, but I was slowly losing consciousness. Suddenly, everything turned pitched black in front of my eyes.
"ARGHHHH...AHHHHH!" I woke up from my nightmare, no, rather a nightmare, it was actually a memory that actually occured a few years ago when I was 7. I realised that I was so scared, that sweat were all over me. I looked at my watch and it was already 9:50 a.m.
Oh no! I am almost late for the big day! I gotta hurry! Thinking that, I hurried and did the usual things I do every morning- brushing my teeth, washing my face, and of course combing my hair. After everything was prepared, I quickly got out of my room and went downstairs.
"Hey Lows! You're almost late for your big day, come here and quickly eat your breakfast!" Oh yeah, as you heard from what my mother said, my name is Lows, Lows Landerson! And speaking of what my big day is, I'll tell you that later! Now, I need to really focus on eating my breakfast fast! AH!
"Thanks, Mom." I quickly sat down and ate 2 slices of bread at once. My mother noticed that I wasn't just worried for my big day, but also still terrified of the nightmare.
"Lows, did you dreamt of that terrifying memory of yours again? You should really try to forget about that memory, you know."
Ah, mother knows best! But sadly, I couldn't really forget about it because the experience was scary, but seeing how awesome that trainer was really lit up my hopes to achieve something that I really wanted in life.
"Yeah, I'll try to forget it. Thanks for the breakfast mom, I'm out now! Goodbye!" I quickly ran off my house and also not forgetting to wave my hands to my mother.
I quickly ran as fast as I can to my friend's house. While I'm on the way, I guess I can finally tell you what the "big day" is. So, it was my friend's 10th birthday, and as we promised, we will all start our journey together by picking a starter Pokémon. Well, my birthday was already over, but we wanted to start our first step in pursuing dreams together.
Also, we live in Kanto, but we decided to start our journey in Hoenn as many rare Pokémon that we don't normally see in Kanto are in there. Also, in Hoenn I can also find out the mystery of the trainer who saved me a few years ago.
Yeah, the bad memory I had when I was 7 took place when I traveled with my family in one of the places in the Hoenn region. I wandered off a little bit too much and got lost in a place I didn't know, and later, all those stuff happened.
So, I just want to find out who is the one who saved me, and maybe...say thanks, or maybe learn more about Pokémon from him. He seems like a strong Pokémon trainer! My friends and I got the chance to travel in Hoenn after days of discussing with our parents, so we will not waste this chance by working hard in our journey!
Oh no...I have wandered off again! By the time I've got to my friend's house, I'm already a few minutes late. "Lows! You're late again. Why are you always late in these kinds of important things?" Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce my two friends that are coming with me!
So, the one who just spoke is Cassie, she has long, blonde hair, and she always like to wear red shirts. Another friend of mine, who is also the birthday boy, Daniel, but we always called him Disc, because he just loveeeeees to play with discs ever since he was young. I just hope that he doesn't catch disc-looking Pokémon in his journey...
"Cassie, Disc, I'm sorry...I'm only a few minutes late thou! So, where is the starter Pokemon that we're going to pick?" I asked in confusion.
"Oh, isn't that obvious...Don't you see that big bag over there?" Upon finishing that sentence, he pointed to a direction where the big bag is. I guess inside it are the Pokémon. "Wow, amazing! Why don't we open them up right now?" Upon hearing me, my two friends nodded, and we went towards the bad and opened it.
Inside the bag are three Pokéballs, three Pokégears and a note, we looked at the note and it said, "Well if your seeing this note, I, Prof. Oak has some important work to do in the Sinnoh Region, so I can't accompany you guys when you're picking your Pokémon! But don't worry, there are one Pokémon in each Pokéball, one for each of you guys. And also, you all can take a Pokégear for each of you. It has my number, and your family, relatives and the other Pokégears' number! Lows, Cassie and Disc, good luck in your journey! -Prof. Oak"
Wow... Prof. Oak's pretty nice, he even got a Pokégear for each of us! I thought to myself. "Well, let's take a Pokégear first!" We agreed to Cassie, and we took a Pokégear and checked what is in the Pokéballs. Inside it, it was Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander, the three Kanto starters. We took a few minutes to think of what Pokémon should each of us pick.
I guess Charmander is going to be everyone's pick... But I have to try to get the best! I would choose either Squirtle or Charmander then. After thinking, I decided to tell them my choice first. "I'm...choosing Squirtle, or Charmander,"
They don't seemed surprised, but Disc also spoke up, "I want one of those two too!" Yep, I'm not surprised too. But what about Cassie? "Ermm...I can't make up my mind! All three Pokémon seemed so good!" After which felt like forever, we still can't make up our minds to pick which Pokémon.
"Alright, I have an idea to solve this problem!" Cassie suddenly jumped up joyfully as she got an idea, but we don't seem to be happy, as her ideas are always weird...but, it also somehow works every time. "Since we can't make up our minds, why don't we all close our eyes to pick one Pokéball, and whatever we chose, we can't regret our choice. Deal?"
That is...one of the weirdest ways to pick a starter Pokémon. "Well, it is weird, as usual...but it might just work!" Disc seems to agree with Cassie's solution, so what else can I say? "Alright...let's do this! Everyone close your eyes and pick...NOW!"
We closed our eyes and tried to take a Pokéball, but it didn't end up well. We just keep bumping, bumping and bumping into each other's arms. And after a bunch of ouchies, we finally took a Pokéball for each of us.
"Alright, we can open our eyes now! Now, Lows, you can show what Pokémon is in it first." Now, why does everytime I have to lead first! I am very nervous to show my Pokémon. What if it isn't the Pokémon I desire?
I guess it's now or never, "Alright, here I go. Hi...ya!" I opened the Pokéball I was holding, and a red light beamed towards the ground, and inside the Pokéball was the Pokémon...
