I do not own pokemon, nor any of the names of pokemon/towns(locations)/and characters (except those of my own creation). Depending upon how well my story goes, I may or may not finish this fanfic. Again I do not own any of the names of Pokemon/Towns(locations)/ and characters. (except those of my own creation
I do not like the unnova region and its pokemon, therefore that region will be non-existent in my fanfic.
Set 25years after Ash started his journey.
eighteen year old Jacob sat underneath the great oak tree that was losing its leaves in the middle of a giant field that belonged to his family. He was watching over the Quilava his family breed for a living close to the base of the Silver Mountain Range that divides Johto from Kanto. He smiled as his Poke-Friend Ava, a Quilava with an odd color color scheme that made her distinct from all other Quilavas, padded up to him and curled up beside him. Ava had a Light Purplish-Blue back color while her underside, legs, and feet were a slight darker cream color. She had taken an immediate liking to Jacob the moment she was able to walk and so instead of selling her with the rest of her siblings, Jacobs Parents had allowed him to keep her.
"Hey there Ava." Jacob said as he rubbed her neck softly.
"Quil." She mewled back.
He watch as the other Quilavas ran around, Jumping to and from rock formations at the base of the mountians, playing with each other. The day had started out like any other day for Jacob, wake up at 6A.M. and feed the pokemon, check on the new borns, let the pokemon out into the fields, Clean the stalls and living areas, eat lunch and feed them again and wait till dinner to return them all back to the stalls and living areas and feed the once more at 6P.M. It was only 3:30P.M. and so Jacob was just sitting, doodling on a small sketch pad he always kept with him, killing time. Everything was calm and peaceful until a bright flash and loud explosion sounded up midway on mountain.
'Too far for any of the Quilava to have done it' Jacob thought.
"Ava," Jacob said standing beside her "Use howl, tell the others to head home now. Lets go find out what made that noise."
"lava. Quilavaaaaaaaaaa!" Ava's howl echoed over the fields, soon the yipping of her kind sounded as they ran towards the ranch house. Grabbing his pack Jacob ran towards the smoke that was pouring into the sky. They followed the smoke until they came upon what had caused the disturbance, the scene shocked Jacob. In front of him he saw a female trainer no older than him battling with a Geodude against an angry Ursaring that had clearly been woken up from its hibernation on purpose.
"Geodude, Use sand attack, then rock throw while its blinded." The girl said
"Geodude." The pokemon replied, complying with its trainer.
"RINGGGG!" growled frustrated clearing its eyes, unleashing a deadly hyperbeam at the Geodude before it could throw its rock, knocking it out.
"Oh no…" the girl said as the angry Ursaring walked towards her.
"Ava, Go. Use Agility and gain that pokemons attention." Jacob said, then use roar, scare that Ursaring away!"
"lava!" Ava barked, Speeding between the girl and the angry pokemon, Ava roared making the angry pokemon skirt back slowly growling loudly in annoyance until it turned away and ran back up the mountain.
"Great job Ava!" Jacob said rubbing her head gently. Turning his attention to the trainer he asked walking over, "Are you all right?"
"Yea, thanks to you and your pokemon. I was on my way back home from New Bark Town when I decided to take this shortcut my 'friends' from Earls Pokemon Acadamy had told me about. I guess it's not really a short cut huh?" She said sheepishly.
"Well, it can be. I live just down the mountain and across the field. You and your pokemon can rest up there and be on your way home. The name's Jacob by the way, and you already met Ava."
"Quinnlynn, but I mostly go by just Quinn, Return Geodude. I'm ready when you are.
"Alrighty then, Let go home Ava, it's almost dinner time and you know what Moms got cooking, some good 'ol chicken and rice."
"Lava!" was all Jacob got as they started the trek home
"So you live on a ranch I'm guessing?" Quinn asked as she sidled up to Jacob.
"Of a sorts. My parents breed Quilavas mostly, but we do have a few other pokemon as well. My parents are hoping I'll one day take over, but honestly, I wana be a Pokemon Master. Just like Ash Ketchum from the Kanto region."
"Ahh, yeah. He's my biggest hero. That's why I was coming back from New Bark Town. I went there to talk with Prof. Elm. he gave me my starter Chikorita and a couple pokeballs to start out with on my way to someday competing in the pokemon league at Indigo Plateau.
"I've never seen a Quilava with a color scheme like yours, has it always been that color?"
"Yeah, ever since she was born. My parents say it's a one-in-a-billion occurance. I'm lucky though to have a partner like her around. My days would be so much longer if I didn't have her helping me with my chores."
"Well she sure is beautiful." Quinn said as she rubbed behind Ava's ears, earning a soft mewl of enjoyment from her.
They continued talking as they walked together down the trail across the field. As soon as they reached the top of the hill with the oak tree, Quinn stood in astonishment at the size of Jacob's Families land.
"All the way from the base of the mountain to my house, and from the tree line a mile east to the lake nine miles west is our land. 7,000 Quilavas, 2,000 rapidashs, ponytas, and tauros together, a couple onyxs, vulpixes and houndours. I guess you could say we like fire types a lot here."
"Wow," she said as they continued on to the enormous ranch house, "it's so beautiful here. I grew up in a nice sized town so we never had anything like this."
"I'm glad you like it, come on in. Mom, Dad, We have a guest over!"
From the kitchen a short woman with curly red hair walked out in a cooking apron covered with flour, behind her a tall man with dark colored hair emerged sipping on a cup of coffee.
"Ohh Son! Im so glad you're alright," the red headed woman said, "when we heard the explosion and saw the smoke with all the pokemon running home we started worrying about you and Ava."
"Mom, Dad, I'm alright, This is Quinn." And so Jacob told of how he found Quinn battling an angry Ursaring that had been awakened from its hibernation cave, and how he had said she could stay the night while her pokemon recovered, "That is, if it's alright with ya'll. It's just that we have so many empty rooms I thought…"
"Of Course it's alright son." Jacobs dad said between gulps of coffee, "Give her the center room since its always clean and ready. She can put her pokemon over in the recovery machine by the library room."
"Now ya'll go wash up, dinner will be ready soon." Jacobs mom chimed in.
After they had washed up and eaten dinner Jacob and Quinn sat on the back porch watching the stars as they twinkled and sparkled in the night sky. Ava was curled up on a cushion by the door resting but not sleeping.
"Thank you, for everything you did today Jacob. If you hadn't shown up with Ava, well… I don't want to think about it."
"It was nothing, I know you would have done the same thing had our places been swapped."
"Yea, Your right." Quinn looked at Jacob and said, "I'd like to know, you said you wanted to be a Pokemon Master right?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, you should join me! I'm headed home to Violet City to face Faulkner, the gym leader there."
Ava perked up at this and padded over to Jacob nuzzling his arm as he looked down. "I.. I dunno, I've…"
"You've what? Got to help out around here? I see that but you need to do what your dream is, if that is becoming a pokemon master then do it. Do what your heart tells you too."
Jacob looked at Ava as she sat by him. "quilava." She mewled soflty nodding her head towards Quinn.
"What is it? You wana go?"
"Lava!" she barked nodding again.
"Alright then!" Jacob said rubbing the bandanna collar that he put on Ava, "well join you on your adventure tomorrow morning, bright an early!"
"uhhh.." Quinn said laughing nervously at the mentioning of getting up early
Jacob saw this and laughed saying "Maybe not as early as I'm use to get up at."
