Hey. This is something I thought of doing a while ago when I gave my Pokemon user a character and story. His name was Toby and I had him meet a character I created called Leah (Le-ah) and the two share the adventure together with me putting my own twist on each plot point and adding original characters (Hope you spot any references or old characters I hide in there. If you do mention in your review). This Fic will include singing characters, love and will probably take a while to finish. Hope you enjoy!
I would also like to give a special thanks to Indigofrisbe for becoming my fic advertiser and for reviewing all my stories. THANK YOU!
I'm only going to do one Disclaimer for this Fic because there will probably be a lot of my own characters to claim and I can't be asked to do this every time.
Disclaimer: I don not own any rights to Pokemon, it's characters or recognisable plot points. I can only assurelly name, right now, Toby and Leah.
On with the Fic!
I switched off my TV, the only thing on was another Red Gyarados report. I sighed, when was I goanna get the chance to go off and find it. Me and Barry had been talking about finding it for years. Well today I was finally getting my first Pokemon. I felt a little silly, being that I'm 16 and I'm only just starting my journey now but hey, that's what happens when you don't stay in one town long enough to catch one.
Well that's all goanna change today. I quickly ran a hand through my messy light brown hair before covering it with a black and yellow cap, the same colours as a Pikachu -my favourite. It had been since I was little but I never told anyone why.
"Toby!" that's my mom calling me. I quickly grabbed my red coat and ran down the stairs. My mom was standing there, a stern look on her face. Had I mentioned that I haven't told my mom I'm planning on going today. "Your friend Barry stopped by today, was asking for you. I don't know what it was about but he said it was an emergency." with that she turned and sat back on the couch, her eyes glues to the battle report on the TV.
I smiled, loving how much me and my mom had in common. She had told me so many stories about what she had done when she was a Pokemon trainer. Her faithful Eevee leaped onto the spot next to her, rubbing herself against moms' leg. Mom smiled and scratched Eevee's back, earning a grateful purr to fill the room.
Soon I'll have my own Pokemon. "Oh, yes! Toby!" I heard her shout and I stopped. "Don't go into the tall grass. Wild Pokemon might attack you." she warned. I grinned.
"Wouldn't dream of it." I said as I walked out the door. The afternoon air brushed across my skin as I walked the small stretch of path to Barry's house.
Just as I was about to open the door a blond blur barged through, barrelling into me and knocking me back a few paces.
"What was that about?" he yelled. He must of not known it was me because when he looked at me, his angry look cleared into his regular over excited one. "Oh, hey, Toby!" he greeted enthusiastically. "Hey! I'm going to the lake! You come too! And be quick about it!" he yelled before heading off towards where the lake was suited. "Hurry up or you'll be late!" he shouted after him. I sighed, finding it hard to keep up with him as I followed.
"Slow down!" I shouted after him. When I finally caught up to him he was waiting at the crossroads. To the west was the lake. To the east was a quick walk to our neighbouring town.
"Come on!" Barry moaned. I rolled my eyes and jogged the last couple of feat towards the crossroads. Without even letting me stop for a breather I was dragged by Barry to the entrance to the lake. He stopped just out side and turned to me.
"Alright. Lets go find a Red Gyarados." he announced before marching through the trees. I followed, silent as usual.
I caught up to a still Barry, who was looking out ahead of us. Ahead was an old man and a girl my age standing in some grass. The man had spiky white hair that looked almost exactly like his moustache and eyebrows, which were creased into a frown. He wore a long white lab coat over a blue suit.
The girl had long blue hair which was mostly covered in a white beanie hat. She wore a dark blue sleeveless top and a pink mini skirt. Not very fit for field work I think. She looked like she was taking notes.
"What's going on…?" Barry asked. The professor was talking to the girl but I couldn't hear what they were saying. Soon enough they were walking towards us.
"Excuse me. Let us pass, please." he said in a very deep voice. I gulped as I stepped aside, feeling myself shiver as he walked past. The girl walked past with her head down.
Now with a closer look I could see that it was Dawn, a girl who live in the next town over. I used to go over and play when I first moved in a few years ago.
"What was that about? Those two…Huh? Toby! Let's go check this out!" he said, changing his tone right in the middle of his sentence. I glanced at the tall grass and gave him a look. "What?" he asked.
"I promised Mom I wouldn't go in the tall grass." I said lowly. Barry rolled his eyes.
"We'll only be in there for a few seconds. Come on!" he argued before dragging me over. I still don't know what he's seen but I followed anyway. Upon closer inspection I spotted a small brown suitcase sitting in the grass.
"It's…a briefcase? Those people forgot it here. What are we supposed to do with it? We can try and deliver it, but who are they, I heard them say professor…" I was about to interrupt and say who they were, but a loud squawking drowned me out. Before I knew what was happening we were surrounded by two flying Pokemon, both grey.
"Starly's!" I gasped, knowing how hostile they could be.
"What's going on?" Barry shouted. I shook my head and backed away from the Starly's as they pecked at me, cutting my hands and face. I felt my legs tangle with the brief case and I fell onto my back, the case falling open in the process. "Toby! This is no time to mess around!" Barry shouted as he defended his face from the other Starly. I pushed myself up and went to shut the case when I spotted three small red and white balls. My eyes widened and I grabbed one.
"Barry! Grab a Poke-Ball!" I shouted over the Starly's shrieking. He looked over at me and nodded, picking one up. I sucked in a deep breath before throwing it at the Starly. "Poke-ball, I chose you!" I shouted as it opened. When the white light cleared I saw a small little green turtle standing strongly in front of the Starly.
"Turtwig!" it cried fiercely. I stared at it. Oh come on! A grass type against a flying type. "I'm so screwed." I thought aloud. Turtwig turned and glared at me. "Turtwig, use tackle." I commanded, hoping for the best. The grassy reptilian sped forwards at alarming speeds and crashed its weight into the Starly.
"Whoa, a direct hit." I mumbled under my breath. Turtwig lifted its head proudly, waiting for my next command. "Uh…Tackle again!" Turtwig obeyed and before I could blink the Starly was flapping for the trees. "Good hit!" I congratulated. Turtwig just tossed its head, not looking at me. I felt a little down hearted that it didn't want to share in my happiness. "Return." I muttered as I re-called it into its Poke-Ball.
"My Chimchar was way tougher then yours!" Barry cheered, recalling his Pokemon. I couldn't help but sneer slightly as I grumbled.
"Of course it was, yours is a fire type. Mines a grass type." Barry shrugged.
"Whatever. They were other peoples though…but we had to use them so they won't mind." he finalised. I sighed.
"Turtwig doesn't like me anyways." I mumbled. I heard grass crunching and turned to see Dawn approaching us.
"Oh there's the briefcase! The professor would have been furious if I'd lost it…" she trailed off as she saw the Poke-Balls in our hands. "Huh? Oh, no!" Did you…Did you use the Pokemon in here?" she asked, pointing at the case. I nodded slowly.
"You did? Oh my gosh! What's the professor going to say…?" she mumbled to herself as she picked up the briefcase. She quickly walked off, probably going back to the professor.
"What was that about?" Barry asked and I shrugged. "I don't know what's going on Toby but lets get out of here." he said before heading back towards town. I sighed as I followed, to tired to bother with anything.
As we were getting back onto the dirt path, Barry stopped and turned to me. "You go ahead. I know we have to go return these Pokemon. They're not ours. But I just want to spend a little more time with this little guy." he cooed in a very strange voice. I nodded, understanding what he was talking about. I would feel the same but my Turtwig didn't seem to like me that much, not appreciating the fact that I underestimated him in battle. I carried on, heading home.
When I got inside my house I went straight to my room. I was to tired for dinner and just went straight to bed. I took the Poke-Ball from my belt and placed it on my night stand, deciding he deserved a rest. As soon as I felt my beds comfort I was asleep, dreaming of my very first Pokemon battle.
I'll return Turtwig tomorrow…
Loads more to come...Enjoy and review.
