Well here's the first chapter of Pokemon: The Decedents Take Over.
I DO NOT OWN POKEMON!
Chapter 1: The Beginning of a New
It has been 16 years since our hero, Ash Ketchum, left the Sinnoh region for a brand new adventure. Before then he found a love that shares a love for Pokemon like he does. Her name was none other than Dawn Berlitz…. I mean Ketchum. Yes they have gotten married and stayed in Sinnoh until Ash decided to go on a long journey far away from Sinnoh to complete his goal to be a Pokemon Master!
We now meet in the Ketchum house in New Bark Town (once belonged to Dawn's mother until her unexpected death a year before Ash left) were we see Dawn in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Trey! Breakfast!" she called to her son.
Trey Ketchum is the only child Dawn and Ash have had. He had his father's messy, black hair and his mother's soft, blue eyes. He has refused to go on his Pokemon journey at age ten since he was determined to see his father. Now being 16 years old and tired of waiting he believes it's no use in waiting when he could be having the time of his life, meeting and training new Pokemon. His dream is to win the Sinnoh league and find his father.
"Coming!" Trey shouted back from his room. Trey looks over at himself at his full length mirror with the clothes his grandmother, Delia, sent him. He wore a dark red t-shirt with a black, sleeveless, zipper down hoodie. He also wore jeans and black trainers along with a hat, similar to the hat Ash wore in Sinnoh but the Pokeball symbol is white.
As Trey came down the stairs he found his most trusted Pokemon, Pichu, sleeping peacefully on the couch. Pichu was hatched from an egg Dawn's Buneary layed around Trey's second birthday. Ash's Pikachu finally gave in to Buneary's affection and showed the same amount of love she did. They soon had an egg after Ash's and Dawn's honeymoon. What's different from this Pichu to others is that it is a shiny Pichu with it its darker, yellow fur and the electric sacks on its cheeks are red instead of pink.
Hearing his trainer's footsteps, Pichu perked up and jumped off the couch to greet his best friend. Around Pichu's neck was a string tied to an everstone to prevent Pichu from evolving. Pichu jumped up on Treys shoulder as he sat down to eat.
"So you're finally leaving for your big adventure?" Dawn asked as she served her son.
"That's right!" he answered with a grin. "I'm tired of waiting for him mom so that's why I'm going to get strong and battle him in order to come home." Looking over at the clock he sees it's already 10 o'clock! "Crap! I'm late!" he shouted. He stuffed his face with a beagle and some eggs and headed out the front door.
"Thanks for the breakfast mom," Trey said as he was leaving. "But I have to hurry to Professor Rowan to get my first Pokemon! Bye Pichu! Take care of my mom, will you?"
"Pichu!" Pichu shouted trying to stop his friend from leaving. But, he was too late as he heard the door slam. Dawn looked at Pichu with a warm smile. "You want to go with him don't you?" she asked. Pichu nodded in sadness. Dawn sighed as she grabbed Pichu's Pokeball from the mantel over the fireplace and tied it into a piece of cloth.
"Here," she handed him the cloth with his Pokeball inside as he looked at her, confused. I'll have Gliscor fly you to where Trey is," Dawn then winked at the electric mouse Pokemon. "I'll be fine here. You go have fun," Pichu cheered with joy as Dawn carried him and went out to the backyard to find Gliscor sunbathing in the grass.
"Gliscor!" she called. The flying scorpion Pokemon perked up when it heard its trainer's wife call. Gliscor then glided over to the woman as she placed Pichu on his back. "Please take Pichu to Trey," she pleaded as she patted Gliscor on the head. "He's on his way to Sandgem Town to Professor Rowan's lab." Gliscor nodded as it took off in the sky to find her trainer's son.
Trey is seen running along the streets of Sandgem Town trying to find Professor Rowan's laboratory. After going into three different buildings, none of them being Professor Rowan's laboratory, he finds a brown haired man wearing a lab coat and decides to ask for directions.
"Excuse me sir," the man faces Trey but ignores him and starts walking away. "Sir!" Trey tried calling him again but he keeps walking.
Ok. This guy is getting on my nerves. Trey thought. He then ran up in front of the man and starts asking again. "Look man," he started, "I don't care who you are, or what you're going, or what your problem is, all I want t know is the directions for Professor Rowan's lab. Now if you just tell me this I will leave you alone and you will never see me again."
After Trey's little argument the man looks at him with anger in his eyes. "Look kid I don't have time for you so go be the good little boy you are and go home to your mommy," the man stated plainly with no emotion. This only angered Trey. "Look do you want to start something?" Trey snapped.
The guy pulls out a Pokeball from his pocket and enlarges. "Yes I do," he said as he twirled the Pokeball on his finger. Trey was about to reach for a Pokeball but remembered that he didn't see the Professor yet. He was about to confess to the man when he heard a faint cry in the distance.
They both looked only to see something heading for them. As it got closer Trey could see that it was a Gliscor. The Pokemon landed near them and Trey saw that it was his dad's Gliscor. What surprised him even more was that Pichu was riding on its back with what looks to be a little backpack.
"Pichu?" Trey asked. "What are you doing here?" Pichu untied the cloth from his back and handed is to Trey. He opened it only to see Pichu's Pokeball inside. Trey stared at it for a moment until he finally understood. "You wanted to come with me didn't you?" Pichu nodded and jumped on his shoulder just before Gliscor left.
The man looked at the Trey with boredom. "You done playing with your rat?" Trey was about to snap until he thought of an idea. "Pichu," he whispered, "Are you up for a battle?" Pichu looked at Trey then at the stranger in front of him then jumped off Trey's shoulder with electricity generating from his cheeks.
"Pichu!" Pichu agreed. The man looked at the mouse Pokemon and started to laugh.
"You honestly think that pip squeak can beat me?" the man laughed harder as Trey just watched. He knew Pichu was tough but he didn't know if this stranger was. The laughter soon died down as the man became serious. "The names John," he threw his Pokeball in the air and a flash of light erupted from it. The light landed on the ground and disappeared to reveal a beaver like creature. "And this is my powerhouse Pokemon Bidoof!" the beaver Pokemon stood on his back feet and pounded his paw on his chest.
Trey was relieved when he saw Bidoof instead of a giant Pokemon like a Gyarados to battle Pichu. After the two of them stood a safe distance away from the battle John called the first attack.
"Alright Bidoof let's start this with a tackle attack!" John commanded. Bidoof then started running at Pichu.
"Pichu dodge then use thunder shock!" Pichu evaded the attack then let out an electric shock towards Bidoof, striking it on its back. Bidoof fell to the floor only to stand back up on all fours, waiting for another command.
"Use swift!" John commanded once again. Bidoof opened its mouth and an arrange of stars are shot out at Pichu, knocking it to the ground. Pichu slowly got up but was still willing to battle.
"Pichu jump then use headbutt!" Trey called out. Pichu jumped in the air and dived down head first towards Bidoof. "Bidoof again use swift!" Bidoof opened its mouth again and fired a straight line a stars towards Pichu.
"Pichu start spinning and use thunder shock!" Pichu followed its new set of commands and started spinning. Pichu body was then enveloped in electricity which was not fired, but was used as a rotating shield around Pichu to deflect the attack.
Unknowing to the two there was someone watching them behind a bush, admiring Pichu's ability to use thunder shock as a shield.
Bidoof's attack dealt zero damage and with Pichu's thunder shock shield still in effect, Pichu's headbutt attack dealt twice the effect. Knocking Bidoof out for the count.
Trey and John just stared at Bidoof until Trey broke the silence with a loud cheer. "Alright Pichu you did it!" Trey ran over to Pichu and congratulated the mouse Pokemon. As they were busy cheering, John returned Bidoof to its Pokeball and walked away. Trey was about to talk to John but saw that he disappeared.
He looked over at Pichu to ask if he saw him leave but he shook his head no, understanding what his trainer was going to ask.
Trey sighed as he allowed Pichu to jump on his shoulder and climb to the top of his head. Just like Ash's Pikachu, Pichu hated to be trapped inside of its Pokeball so it usually climbed on Trey's head or shoulder. As they started walking Trey remembered something VERY important.
"Holy crap I forgot about Professor Rowan!" Trey started running but he stopped right in his tracks. "That's right I don't know where his lab is." Trey found a bench near a bush and sat down and started to sulk.
"Pichu what am I gonna do?" he asked the Pokemon on his head.
"Pichu…" he said as he sulked with his trainer.
The two of them were about to go home until a girl popped out of the bushes next to them surprising the trainer and his Pokemon.
"Hiya," she smiled at the two. Trey and Pichu jumped and started to look over the stranger. The girl looked about Treys age with a pretty face, dark brown hair, and bright green eyes. (A/N: Yeah. Not a combination you see every day.) As she stepped out of the bushes, Trey could see her entire outfit. She wore a blue, long sleeved, zipper down jacket, a white shirt underneath, tight, knee high jean shorts, and a pair of light blue trainers.
"What the?" Trey gasped when he and Pichu came out of shock. "What were you doing in those bushes?" The girl just continued to smile at him while looking at him up and down.
After a few minutes of silence the girl finally started to speak, "You're cute," Trey slightly blushed at the sudden compliment before asking his question again.
"What were you doing in those bushes?" he asked again. Again with the silence until she told him to follow her. Trey was about to protest until she said, "Didn't you need to find Professor Rowan's lab?"
The girl winked at him before walking away. Trey just stared at her walking figure before running to catch up with her. They continued walking for 10 minutes until they reached this building at the edge of town.
They stepped inside the building and Trey saw that she was telling the truth. At the far end of the room he can see Professor Rowan tending to a Bidoof. Trey was about to walk up to him until he saw the man standing next to the Professor. He had brown hair and a lab coat. It was John, the same exact man that he battle not too long ago.
"Professor Rowan you have a visitor!" the girl shouted. The Professor looked at the door to see her and Trey. He signaled the two of them over as they walked to the table.
"Why hello there," he greeted as he turned to face Trey but Trey was too distracted having a stare down with John. Pichu noticed the tension and gave Trey an electric shock. The three of them looked at the scene until Trey stood up and held out his hand.
"Good morning sir my name is Trey," Professor Rowan shook his hand and started tending to John's Bidoof again. "So how can I help you Trey?" he asked. This time Trey was able to hear professor Rowan this time and saw that he had a bit of an intimidating voice.
"Um…" he stuttered, "I'm here with this invitation to receive my starter Pokemon." Trey pulled out the invitation to receive a starter Pokemon as the professor looked it over. He then looked at Pichu and then back to the invitation.
"For starters this invitation was sent to you 6 years ago," Professor Rowan stated plainly.
Trey looked over the invitation then laughed awkwardly as he tried to explain.
"Well you see-" he stared but the Professor waved his hand.
"Let me finish," he started. "Second of all you already have your starter Pokemon." He pointed at Pichu as the mouse Pokemon jumped up on the table standing a distance from Bidoof.
"Pichu?" he asked as he pointed to himself. "That's correct Pichu," Professor Rowan smiled at him. "You are… I apologize for this but I seem to have forgotten your name," This time it was Professor Rowan's time to laugh awkwardly.
"It's Trey," Trey introduced again, "Trey Ketchum."
There was tension in the air as the girl that brought him to the lab, John, and Professor Rowan stared at the trainer. "What?" he asked when Pichu jumped back on his shoulder.
"Trey Ketchum you say?" Professor Rowan asked as he nodded. "As in the… the son of… Ash Ketchum?"
Trey nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he was my father but left around the time I was born to complete his dream in being a Pokemon Master." Professor Rowan went around the table into another room leaving the other three alone.
"Where are my manners?" the girl asked as she held out her hand. "My name's Tory! Nice to meet you Trey!" Trey looked at her as her hand was shaking a little. He took her hand in his and shook it when he felt another hand on his shoulder. It was John.
"Hey look about earlier," he started, "I was being rude and it wasn't necessary." John put his hand out, offering a truce. Trey stared at the hand awkwardly. Even Pichu was uncomfortable due to the fact that John's Bidoof was offering a truce as well. Trey thought that John was a heartless person that worked for Professor Rowan but after hearing that Ash Ketchum was his father he was acting different. Trey took his hand but still held on to the fact that John was a jerk.
Professor Rowan came back into the room with tray holding a red device and five empty Pokeballs. "I understand why you're here so… very late Trey," he said. Trey looked at him with a confused look.
"You do?" Trey asked.
"Your mother told me one day that you wouldn't be coming to receive you starter Pokemon," he started. Trey just blinked at the Professor as he continued. "She told me that you were waiting for your father to return before you start your journey." Professor Rowan held the trey out in front of him. "She also told me that one day that you would be determined to start your journey late and find your father."
Trey took hold of the tray in front of him. He took the five Pokeballs and but the on his carrying belt that was around his waist. He picked up the red device and set the tray down. "That's a Pokedex," Professor Rowan explained. "It is able to keep records or every Pokemon you encounter."
Trey opened the Pokedex and pointed it at Pichu. The device scanned the Pokemon in front of it and a picture of a Pichu flashed on the screen while the computer spoke.
"Pichu: the Tiny Mouse Pokemon. When Pichu plays with others, it may short out electricity with another Pichu, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this Pokemon will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks." It said.
Pichu scratched the back of its head, embarrassed about the information the Pokedex gave.
Trey thanked the professor and headed off out the door following the route to the next town. Trey was halfway down the road until he was tackled to the floor. Pichu stood on all fours to attack the person until he saw that it was Tory.
"Hiya!" she greeted as she helped Trey off the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?" he shouted. Referring to the tackling he just received.
"I decided to tag along," she smiled he eyes as she started walking in front of him.
Trey just stared as he ran in front of her. "Why?" he asked again, getting frustrated with the girl.
"I know Sinnoh better than you do princess so you might need my help," she said as she pulled his cheek and started walking again. As much as Trey hated the idea, she was right. He didn't know much about the routes of Sinnoh so it took all of his will power to suck it up, and move on.
Who knows? This could be the start of something new.
End of Chapter 1
Thanks for reading. R&R (flames will be deleted the second I see it)
Oh and for those who are wondering, Dawn did not get a Gliscor! In my story, Ash returned to get his Gliscor after its aerial training was finished but Ash decided to leave him with Dawn when he left for his 16 year journey.
Well I'll be hoping to finish the next chapter in the next two weeks or so.
PEACE!
