Chapter 1
The Helicopter flew over the skies of Unova as several bird pokemon flew past it. Hitori recognized some of these bird pokemon. He easily recognized Pidgey which was quite commonplace in his Home region of Johto. He also recognized the small black bird pokemon as Starly a pokemon which occasionally was seen in Johto but was native to the Sinnoh region.
Hitori had only ever seen them in books or magazines. However it was the grey bird pokemon with a heart-shaped breast that he was unable to recognize. It was quite cute despite it alien status to Hitori.
Surrendering to his curiosity Hitori pointed to the pokemon and asked his companion "Whitney, Whats that pokemon?"
The Gym Leader leaned forward to see what he was pointing to, careful not to disturb the Miltank egg in her lap. She examined the bird pokemon and after a minute of thought she replied "Oh those are Pidove, they're pretty common in this region"
"What are they Like?" Hitori asked curious about these new pokemon that he had never seen before.
"Well they're pretty friendly and I've heard when they evolve they're incredibly loyal to their trainer so they're a pretty useful pokemon" Whitney replied as she readjusted the egg on her lap to ensure maximum comfort for both herself and the egg.
"Oh i can't wait to catch one" Hitori said excited at the prospect of this new region. "Well they're pretty common so you should have no trouble finding any, now if you want a cute pokemon I'd get an Audino, they are so sweet" Whitney said almost screaming before getting a hold of herself.
"What other pokemon are in this region" Hitori asked. "Well it used to be that there was only pokemon native to Unova where here but in the last few years pokemon from tons of regions have been seen here, Pokemon from Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh even our Home region Johto" Whitney said listing off the regions with her fingers as she stared up into space.
"Hey Whitney, Thanks for bringing me here" Hitori said in a grateful tone. He owed a great deal to both Whitney and Pr. Elm, without both of them he would not be going to explore this new region. His parents were not completely sure if they wanted their son so far away but this was his pokemon adventure and it was his choice to make so they support Hitori's choice as long as he agreed to call them at least twice a week.
"Hey no biggie, when Pr. Elm told me that you were interested in travelling in Unova I jumped at the chance at having some company on this long flight, My last flight was to Hoenn and it was soooo boring, no one to talk to, so I'm glad to have someone with me" Whitney said smiling. She then turned her attention to the egg on her lap, this was the entire reason Whitney was traveling to Unova.
"Hey Whitney, you never told me why you're bringing a Miltank egg to Unova?" Hitori asked suddenly curious about the egg. Whitney patted the top of the egg affectionately and began to explain the purpose of the trip.
"Well you see one of the the Gym Leaders in Unova, Cheren, he's a normal type user like me and he heard all about how strong my Miltank is and he interested in getting one for himself, but Miltanks are pretty rare in Unova so he called me and I promised i would breed a Miltank for him and give it to him" Whitney explained as she absentmindedly rubbed the egg.
"Yeah I won't mind catching a Miltank as well" Hitori said. "Really?" Whitney asked. "Well one particular Miltank" Hitori said before staring off out the window.
"What do you mean one particular Mil..." Whitney began before being interrupted by the pilot. "Excuse me Whitney, Just to inform you we'll be landing in 2 minutes" The Pilot said from the cockpit.
"Ok cool" Whitney said before to turning to Hitori and saying "Welcome to Unova". Hitori looked out the window into the town below as the Helicopter descended from the air, They were still to high up to read the sign but Hitori didn't mind, he was to busy thinking of this new region and what awaited him in it.
Hitori and Whitney got Off the Helicopter and began to stretch, they had been sitting down for many hours and walking felt a little strange at this point. Hitori reached his pokeball belt and took out his two pokemon and released his pokemon.
"Cynaquil" proclaimed his starter as it's back light up in flames and it stretched it body. "Scyther" proclaimed Hitori's only other pokemon as it two stretched it's bladed arms. These two usually walked alongside Hitori and were not particularly fond of being stuffed into there pokeballs for hours at a time.
"Enjoy the flight?" Hitori asked his pokemon companions. Both looked very annoyed and turned away in a huff.
Hitori sighed and said "Look I know you hate being in your pokeballs and you know i hate putting you there but would you two have rather flown in that thing " he said pointing to the helicopter. Both Cyndaquil and Scyther both had uncomfortable looks on there faces and simply nodded in agreement
"Then stop complaining, we're in Unova now, what do you guys think" Hitori asked smiling at them. All three looked around at the small town they were in and then looked at each other. Hitori know what they were thinking and simply replied "Look i know it's not as nice as Johto but you two know very well we had to come here so we might as well enjoy it"
Cyndaquil and Scyther both tried to be happy but it was quite forced. Hitori thought for a second and then reached into his satchel and pulled out three bright red and juicy Apples. He handed one to each of his Pokemon and said "This should cheer you guys up, none of us have eaten since we left Johto"
Both Pokemon Smiled Happily as they began to take bites out of their respective apples. Hitori too began to eat his apple and enjoy it's hard juicy fruit. He walked a few feet forward and read from a sign...Aspertia City.
"I miss Johto already, the towns had much Nicer names" Hitori said to himself.
"Ok Hitori, I'm just going to give this egg to Cheren at the Gym in this town, see ya Later" Whitney said hopping off the Helicotper and walking off in a random direction with the egg.
"Ah Whitney, I think thats the Gym over there" Hitori said pointing to the building with a Pokemon Gym symbol on it in the opposite direction that Whitney was going.
"Oh so it is, silly me, See ya Later Hitori, Good luck with your travels and if you ever need a lift back to Johto just give me a call" Whitney said as she began walking towards the gym.
"Thank you for everything Whitney and be safe " Hitori called after her as she walked off and disappeared inside the Gym.
Hitori stood next to his pokemon as the finished their apples and thought about what he must do next. Perhaps he should face the gym leader, However if he is meeting with Whitney then he may not be accepting challenges. Perhaps he should try to capture some pokemon and help strengthen his team before he challenge a Gym Leader.
As he as his pokemon stood there thinking a small blue otter like Pokemon holding a something ran up into front of him. He looked at it for a second. It looked up at him and smiled "Oshawatt" It said.
"What on earth are you " Hitori asked just as he heard a voice calling him. He turned a saw a young women walking towards him and signalling the otter pokemon to return her.
