Chapter One; VS. Onix


3:46 PM. July 22nd.

There's a really good reason why the date of this story is July 22nd. Well, today is the sixth birthday of one of main characters and heroes. Today is July 22nd, sixth birthday of Jade Midori.*


A little girl was wandering around through a crowd of tall adults that seem to be almost giants to her, compare to her size. It was never really fun. Her shoulder length black hair was covering most of her face, but you could still tell that she was blushing due to a lot of embarrassment.

"Ah, there's there's the birthday girl."

A sudden voice said as a large pair of preteen arms reached out and pulled the six year old girl up from the ground. The girl whimpered a little bit. A little surprised as she met her all time favorite cousin, Red Akane.* The black hair boy just grinned as he continued to hold his baby cousin up in the air. Red walked to a table and sat down in a chair, putting his cousin in his lap. His jeans were dirty so it might dirtied her small pink sun dress that she was wearing for her party. Red just gave out a light sigh.

"Geez, Jade. Why do you need to keep looking so sad?" He said as his fingerless black glove hand move Jade's hair out of her face so it would go back to it's normal style. Two large bangs at the side of her face. Red decided to pull on Jade's flushed cheeks, forcing her to smile. Soon, he started to tickle her and Jade started laughing like crazy. She was really ticklish.

"R-Red!" She gasped his name out in between laughs. "St-Stop!" Jade continued to bellow in laughter. It was just too much for her small little body to handle. Red just grinned like a manic. He was having too much fun making Jade laugh. Soon, after a few minutes had past, Red stopped tickling Jade. She just clung to his black shirt which was under his red and white best. He rubbed her back in a loving brotherly way.

"Sorry Jade....."

Of course, Jade clung to his shirt even more. The twelve year old just sighed as he let his little cousin cling to him. Soon the little yellow mouse Pokemon jumped on Red's red hat that was on top of his head. "Ah, Pika. There you are." He patted his partner's head and soon pulled Pikachu off his head and into Jade's arms."Here, Jade. Go play with Pika. I need to go talk to your mom." Jade looked sad, but Red just only poked her forehead. "Be happy, you silly girl. Being sad isn't going to get you a Pokemon."

Jade just pouted and blushed lightly. She just held Pikachu tighter in her arms as she jumped off of Red's lap and ran into her backyard forest. Barely having Pokemon in it, but you never know if there are in it.

Soon the black hair girl with mint green eyes sighed sadly. "Curse that Red. He's too good at reading me!" The six year old declared boldly. Pikachu just sweatdropped as he slowly moved away for a bit before jumping on top of Jade's shoulder. She is a pretty strong girl, able to hold Pikachu on her shoulders. The girl just grinned cheerfully. She and Red have the exact same grin, which was a bit strange, but their family so they would have some similar trait belonging to them?

Jade just continued walking deep into the forest. Pikachu eventually travel up to Jade's head. She just smiled cheerfully as she continued her happy nature hunt. The girl's mood is being a lot more better then before. Little girls these days have such big mood swings. Jade probably got that from her mother. Mother and daughters do relate with each other a lot.

"Pika, pika!"

Jade stopped walking as she jumped onto these large rocks. She glanced up at Pikachu. "Hmm? What's wrong, Pika?" The little girl asked as Pikachu jumped down from her head and started sniffing the ground. Jade just stood there, really confused. What was Pikachu doing? Was there danger around here? That were the thoughts that were processing into the little mind of Jade Midori. She started looking around, trying to find where that danger might be. But, she was just plain confused on where that Pokemon could be.

"Pika, I don't' see a Pokemon anywhere!" She whined as she stopped her foot on the ground rather hard. A moment later, there was a lot of shaking happening. Jade was, at first, thought it was an earthquake, but she was dead wrong. She fell onto the ground, her mint eyes met eyes of a very angry Onix. Frighten, Jade just sat there, really scared. Tears were already forming in her eyes as she wanted to scream help to Red. Pikachu was about ready to jump in when Onix was going to do a Slam attack down on Jade and Pika thought she was going to be crushed until;

"Starmie, Bubblebeam!"

Shouted a calm, cool voice. Jade opened her eyes to see a boy in a white hood and khaki shorts. He was in a battling pose, taking on the giant Onix.

He's about my age. Jade blushed a little bit. She just realized that she's being saved. She watched in awe as the mysterious young boy defeated the Onix with his Starmie. The boy turned around. You couldn't see his face. His hair and hood was covering most of it. But, there was a calm smile on his lips.

"Are you okay?"

He asked with a lot of concern in his voice. That just made Jade cry, her face really red as she stood up and ran away. Extremely embarrassed, but the boy took it as something different. Something much more different. His smile dropped into a frown. His purple eyes filled with disappointment and sadness. Pikachu saw this and felt pity for the boy before going after Jade. Making sure that the girl wouldn't get lost, whatsoever. Jade stopped running, she was still crying. She felt so pathetic. Running off like a crying little baby.

Oh, today's my birthday! It's my happy day! Not my sad day! She tried to cheer herself up. But I just ran away from him! I didn't even get a chance to say thank you to him! ARGH! Jade started hitting her head on a tree. Well, at least she stopped crying now. She kept mumbling to herself that she's an idiot out of all idiots as long as she lives. Deep, really deep. Jade sighed as she sulk against the tree. Burying her face into her knees. You can see a cloud of gloom going over her head right now.

Pikachu finally got up to Jade. The yellow mouse just sighed out of annoyance and decided to zap Jade very lightly, still causing her to jump. Her eyes filled with tears again. Pikachu just stared at the crying girl very dully. Jade groaned loudly before smiling again. "I guess you're right, Pika! There's no need to be upset! I now have a goal to be working towards to! Become strong and show that guy that I been looking for him!" Pikachu just sweatdropped as the forest setting quickly changed to a sunset cliff setting with Jade yelling out to the world That girl truly does have a crazy imagination that no one should never touch. Pikachu nodded his head at the thought. Never to be touched by people.

Soon Jade went back to her party and was completely happy. Despite the Onix accident. But, that was really scary. Even if Jade doesn't know this now, her fear is going to be her greatest challenge with herself.


A week later............

"Jade! Hurry up or you're going to be LATE!"

Red shouted from outside Jade's bedroom window. The little girl came out of the door, panting. She was wearing her normal gear which was black shorts, white polar t-shirt, and black tennis shoes. Her black hair was in two pigtails that were tied low to her shoulders. "Red, you don't need to rush me like that!" She scolded him with a childish pout. "Beside, if you could have help me, we would have been able to move much faster, but no! You didn't help me at all!" She shouted at the older raven head boy.

Red just winced as he got scolded by the little girl. "Alright, alright. I get it. Don't to yell at me." He teased as he picked up the little brat and put her on the front of his bike and started to peddled to their location, which was Professor Cedar's Pokemon Research lab. Jade is going to be there to learn about Pokemon and learn how to battle before she is actually old enough to get a Pokemon for her own and travel around the world. It seems really fun. If Jade is able to pass, she might be able to get her Pokemon a lot earlier than she excepted to be.

Professor Cedar and Jade's mother are dear close friends, thus how Jade is able to learn from a great Pokemon professor like Amy Cedar. Everything seems to be just perfect. Red was just there to get some things for Professor Oak for his research purpose and all that jazz. You get the point. Soon, they were finally at the lab. It was a very large building. About three floors, huge field for the Pokemon to roam around, let's just sum it up to just being a very big building with a really big yard.. Red scratched his neck.

"Well, this seems to be the place. Let's go inside." He said as he literally started dragging Jade in with him, no matter how embarrassing it was for her and Red. They have to go in sooner or later, and the sooner, the better. As they entered the building, it was almost empty. Except that there were these two boys at Jade's age. One boy had dark brown hair that was parted to the left side of his face, leaving a large amount of hair covering his left eye almost, his eyes were purple; he was wearing a white t-shirt with dark navy laces, plus wearing those same color shorts. It was summer time plus in Orre, it was always hot in the summer. Feels like the desert sometimes, but not really.

The other boy had black hair, which were bangs handing down from his forehead, spitting from his forehead, showing that lovely forehead of his. He was wearing a black shirt with long sleeves and white shorts that seem to be stain in dirt. Seems like he was playing around on the ground. His black charcoal eyes were closed as he was listening to music on his mp3 player.

The boy with the purple eyes blinked as he saw the new visitors. He jumped down from his chair and walked over to Red and Jade. A bright yet polite smile was on his face. "Hello, you must be Red and Jade. Auntie Amy has been waiting for you." The young boy said politely. Red just smiled back and rubbed Jade's head as he felt her tighten her arms around his leg.

"It's nice to meet you, um....."

"Dylan. My name is Dylan Yori*. Auntie Amy is really busy at the moment, but I can show you where she is, Mister Re!" He said as innocently. Red just blushed a little at the Mister part. He gave out a small laugh.

"Please Dylan. I'm not that old." The raven head boy teased a little bit as he put his arms up, waving them to show a "Don't call me that please," emotion. Dylan just smiled as he started walking to the door that would lead to another room or hallway.

"Well, Red. You can leave Jade here. Allen can show her to the room where we're going to be studying from. You just follow me so I can show you where Auntie Amy is." Dylan explained as Red started to follow him, somehow managing to get Jade off of him during Dylan's explanation. Soon, he left Jade and Allen alone together. Jade looks like she's about ready to cry because her dear cousin just left her. The raven head boy just sighed as he shifted in his chair, making a loud squeaking noise on the white marble floor. Jade looked over at him with her minty green eyes. She blinked at him innocently as he got off his chair. Hands in his pockets as he stared at her with dull eyes. There was a tense awkward silence between them. Jade wasn't like this one bit so was naturally the first to break it.

"Are you Allen?"

"Yeah. Allen Takehiko*. Follow me, Midori." The boy said in a really bored tone of voice. Jade just narrowed her eyes at him for the Midori part and his bored tone of voice. What's his problem? She thought as she follow Allen. He seem not o care if she was glaring at him. The young boy just smirked a little bit. Jade just pouted as she crossed her arms. Oh, we have a very cocky little boy on her hands.


Soon, an hour and an half later had pass and there was a lot of yelling in the room where Jade and Allen were. Red and Dylan ran into the room and sweatdropped. Red was really trying hard not to laugh at what was happening. Jade was trying to punch Allen's face while Allen was just putting his foot against her stomach, (she was on top of him), and was pulling down her hair. Usually, this would be a cat fight due to the position, but Allen was a boy so it wasn't a cat fight. More like a puppy fight because their both little brats.

Dylan was trying to stop the fight that was happening. He managed to stopped Allen and pulled him away from Jade. As Jade went in an attacked Allen again, but was soon lifted up into the air. She was scared as she looked up to see a Swellow holding Jade's body up and then landed her next to a mature looking lady. The woman had long hair, it looks like it stopped at her mid-thigh. I t was a light chocolate brown color, showing out her deep sharp brown eyes. She was beautiful nonetheless. Her hair was in a braid, as it hung over her left shoulder and the side of her bangs was pinned with a hair clip. She was wearing a white lab coat, with a white polar shirt and black tie, she was wearing dark denim jeans with black hiking combat boots. Seems like she's a hiker and also a researcher.

The woman smiled gently at Jade, but it was very obvious that she was angry at the same time. Jade just gulped as she waited to get lectured or punished due to her actions. The woman cleared her voice as she sighed. Jade just ducked her head down as the woman did that. "Auntie Amy!" Dylan declared as he ran up to her from the second floor. The black eye boy just followed Dylan. Red stood here and rubbed his head as he laughed a little bit. Jade was just really embarrassed. She buried her face into her hands. The woman just laughed as she rubbed Jade's head as she bend down to the girl's level.

"So, you must be Jade. It's wonderful to meet you. I'm Amy Cedar, Orre's Pokemon researcher." The professor said as she stood up with arms across her chest. Jade continued to look down to her lap. Completely ashamed of herself right now. Amy sighed a little bit before she continued her lecture with Jade. "Can you tell me why you were trying to punch your classmate, Allen? Huh?"

"He insulted Red in wining the Kanto League and called me a brat!" She cried. Technically, you are a brat, Jade. Red thought with a very amused grinning face. Jade soon went downstairs once she finished her explanation to Professor Cedar. She started to koala climb on Red and clung to him as he shifted his arms so sh wouldn't fall down from his chest. Jade turned her head and glared at Allen. He smirked as he looked away with a dully look on his face again.

"This is going to be just a wonderful six years for you, isn't it, Midori?" "Allen, I hate you so much!" Jade cried as she clung more to her cousin, knowing very well not to let go of him.


And six wonderful(painful) years have past by so quickly. Our wonderful trio, Jade, Dylan, and Allen, had grown up to be adults now. Meaning, now that their finally twelve, they are allow to have their own Pokemon to travel around Orre or some other region.

Jade was downstairs, putting on her shoes. Of course, being older now, her look has changed as well. Her hair was a lot longer, going down to almost her knees. She was wearing a red hate with a white circle outline on the top center of it and a white bill. She was also wearing a red and white hoodie jacket, the hood was white from down to the zipper, white circle design on the sleeves, large white laces around the elbow section of the hooded jacket. Jade was also wearing a long white t-shirt that goes down to her mid-thighs with place laces. Black tight biker yet also runner shorts. Also, for one last touch. A black chocker. Forgo to mention that her hat, she was wearing it backwards instead of forwards, so it would be easier to let her bangs out.

Jade stood up straight, as she hit hr toes on the floor gently to make her shoes in. Her long hair swaying around her. She sighed. Her mint eyes just rolled over. "I'll deal with my hair later." She said as she pulled her yellow backpack over her shoulders as she sighed loudly. But soon, Jade managed to put on a huge smile on her face. Today is the day Jade is finally leaving Happy Valley Town at all! Well, it wasn't like she didn't love her hometown or anything, in face. She is really proud to be born in this lovely valley. After all, Happy Valley Town, is the Valley of Happiness, but that's a lie really. People just make it up so travelers won't know the real truth.

The real truth is, there was once this guy named, Willis Happy, he found this valley with a huge lush forest inside, but lots of land to build houses as well. So, he decided to name the town after his last name, Happy, seeing that it was a valley, he added that in there and thus the birth of Happy Valley Town, but the town is never really cheerful but almost everybody is really nice and they know each other. Yeah, pretty lame on how the town actual came out to be. The people in Happy Valley, like the fake reason, a lot better than the real reason. But, let's get back on track with her our real story here, shall we?

So pretty much, Jade was running towards the lab. She already said good-bye to her mother and was running like her life depends on it, which it did. God, I'm so glad mom brought these Running Shoes. Otherwise, I would have been late. Jade checked her watched and gasped. She ran even faster. "I'M LATE!" the twelve year old just ran as if Breedrills were going after her.


Meanwhile, Allen was tapping his fingers against the table. AS his other arms, elbow on table, his hand was under his chin. He sighed loudly but it shows a lot of irrational in it. "That brat is late." Like Jade, he also changed quite a bit. His bangs had grown out and now reached the side of his face, almost the same style he wore six years ago, but just longer, his face was more narrow and thin, turning out to be a true adult soon, or more like a teenage, but his birthday isn't going to be coming for a while now. He wears a blank tight sleeveless turtleneck underneath his hooded t-shirt jacket. The jacket's design was almost very was a very simple. The main color was a very pale tan with maroon lacing on the sleeves and two trips coming down on the front of the shirt, right next to the zipper, but not close to it. He wore black wristbands and had black jeans with black and red shoes.

Allen sighed as he moved a piece of hair behind his ear, he also wore black piece earrings. Didn't make him girlie yet it suited him very well. Dylan just laughed a bit. "Oh, I'm sure that she's running her way over here."

But let's not forget about Dylan, our last hear of this story. His hair style is the same from six years ago, but now he wears a dark blue baseball cap with a white bill and white line going around it. The hat was positioning forward. His clothes were, a black sleeveless turtleneck, but it wasn't tight like Allen's, where it would stick to your skin. It was being covered by a long sleeve vest. The vest's design was a dark navy blue color with yellow lacing at the opening, where you can unzip it down and from his shoulders down to the end of the shirt. The sleeves were white with dark navy lacing on the end, plus he was wearing navy fingerless gloves with a yellow padding on top of the glove. He was also wearing normal jeans and blue and red shoes.

Overall, Dylan didn't really change much except for maybe his eyes. They were a lot sharper than they were before when he was a child. Same with Allen, while Jade is practically the same as always. Heck, even their personalities and attitudes towards one another didn't changed at at. So not cute.


Soon the doors of the lab swung open and there was Jade Midori, leaning against the doorway, her hair in her face as she was panting. After bending down and taking in deep calm breathes, and mostly just getting oxygen back into her lungs. She fixed her hair and walked up to the boys. She pointed at Allen, but he beat her to the speaking, like always. "You're late Midori." His words were cold as ice. Jade felt like a huge boulder landed on her hand as she said nothing. She just frowned and pouted, her arms quickly crossing her chest. She always hates it when Allen was being so cruel to her, she's sometime really amazed at how they even managed to become friends over the years. But of course, Jade always prefer Dylan over Allen because Dylan is actually KIND to Jade, more than anybody else. She always clung to him when she was a child, just like she did with Red. Speaking of the Kanto champion, she hadn't heard from him for a long time. He's suppose to be sixteen right now and is being on the Sevii Island for some reason. She shrugged it off. Red will contact Jade when he's not so busy.

But little did she know, Red was actually turned into stone, along with four other PokeDex users; Green, Blue, Yellow, and Silver. They were all turned to stone in the battle against a Team Rocket Elite Member. Anybody who knew about this, didn't tell what happen. It was just too much.

"Hey Jade. Come over here. I'll fix your hair." Dylan said, snapping the black hair girl out of her thoughts. She smiled cheerfully at the brunette boy. As she mention before, Dylan is one of the kindest people Jade know in the whole world. He was that special to her.

"Thanks!" She said as she took a seat in front of Dylan, who was leaning against the table. He combed his fingers through Jade's black silky locks. Her hair was always so fine, that's why she didn't cut it, and she wanted to prove to Allen that she can be more like a girl if she really tried hard enough. A childish reason to keep her hair long, but then again. She was a child when this hair promise was made.

Dylan finished straightening Jade's hair out and soon putting it in a very low ponytail. The hair tie being around her waist. He smiled as he put his hand on Jade's shoulder. "There. All done."

"Wow, thanks Dylan! You're the best!" Dylan just laughed at the compliment. He just waved his hand, showing that it wasn't a big deal at all.

"Alright. Now that we're done pampering ourselves. Wanna get your starters anytime soon?" The trio looked up to see Professor Cedar on the second floor of the lab. The brunette head woman just smiled as she turned around, walking to a table with three Pokeballs. Most likely containing their starter Pokemon. The three preteens walked up the stairs. Jade was excited while the boys had mildly interested looks. Well, they have that look because they both woke up early and are really tired. "Alright, lady and gents. It's time to chose!" The professor said cheerfully as she released the three Pokemon out. They were Charmander, Totodile, and Treecko. Those were the starter Pokemon in Orre region. Not a bad catch really. Jade just automatically pointed at Charmander. Happiness and joy being in her eyes. Cedar just laughed at this. Everybody knew that Jae loves fire Pokemon with all her might and passion Charmander already knew this as he, yes it's a male, walked towards Jade and jumped into her arms. She just hugged the orange lizard with the fire tail. She couldn't stop smiling. She was just so happy.

Allen was currently having a staring contest with Treecko. Seems like their having a fun time with each other. Obviously that their going to be partners. So that means that Dylan gets Totodile. Jade and Allen look over at Dylan, who was currently holding a metal rod as the blue alligator was trying to bite Dylan's head. The purple eye boy was just smiling innocently at his two friends. "Well, at least it learn bite." His voice in a happy yet polite tone as always.

"Dylan, you're really scary sometimes." Allen said as he rubbed his temples. Cedar just laughed at this again. Jade was holding Charmander, whom she already gave it a nicknamed of Loki*. Jade found it as an very adorable name. Cedar held out three PokeDexes. They were the latest model. Sinnoh style PokeDex. They were red, black, and dark blue. Jade took red, Allen is Black, and Dylan was the dark blue. Treecko was sitting on top of Allen's shoulder. He didn't really mind it.

"These guys are your PokeDexes. Be careful with them and don't lose them. Their really hard to get and make sure that you get more information about the Pokemon in this region." Cedar explained as the trio nodded their heads. "Well, next is the PokeBalls. You all had practice with them already so I don't think I need to explain it again about how to use it." She explained as she was handing them each five PokeBalls. She sighed a little bit after she was done. "Well, this is it." After a moment of quiet, she started sniffing up fake tears. "I'm so happy to see my students growing up so fast! I don't think I should feel anymore prouder than I am now!" She was really being dramatic about this. The three of them just sweatdropped. The woman was only in her forties.

"Professor.........you're embarrassing us." Jade said as she sighed. They were all ready to leave soon but was halted by Cedar, once again.

"Auntie......We really want to leave."

"Just do me one little favor! Please!" She begged. Dylan and Jade just sighed. Allen didn't say anything at first before he opened his mouth.

"I need to go back to Vol City. My brother is excepting me back." "Okay Allen. You can go." Cedar said as she waved him off. He nodded as he bowed lightly. He looked over at Jae and smirked a sly, cocky smirk at her. She blinked at first before becoming angry. No! He didn't! No, Allen, no! I hate you! Don't leave and go battle the gym first! She cried in her mind. Dylan just sighed and waved Allen off as he waved back before leaving through the doors. Jade was still mentally crying about how life was unfair to her and all that sort of things.

"So, auntie. What do you want us to do?"

Chapter One, completed.


Oh god! Nineteen pages done in my notebook and then typing it all out in one day! _ That was a lot for me to do and god.....I fee like dying. DX Plus it's almost one in the morning when I'm finishing this up. -goes collapse on her bed later-
