Chapter 1

Introductions by a Blue Espurr

Pallet town…

Emmy was panting hard and chasing her blue Espurr, Tardis. In fact, she had just been traveling to Professor Oak's laboratory when Tardis jumped out of her arms and ran off.

"No! Tardis! I have macaroons for you!" Emmy hollered as she ran through the town. As she almost was within arm's reach away from the espurr, a young man ran into her. They toppled to the ground Emmy on top of the boy.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming towards me." He said. His language demanded authority as did his posture. He had been raised as someone important. The boy held out his hand and said, "I'm Lance. I'm a trainer like you. Can you by chance point me into the direction of Professor Oak's lab? I have some dire news for him." He said somberly.

"I'm Emmy. And the Professor's lab is about two houses down on the left." Emmy panted as she gazed at Lance's clothes. He wore a blue shirt and wore black slacks. On his belt he had three pokeballs. "Thank you!" Lance said curtly. Turning on his foot in the right direction he set off with his cape billowing behind him.

Tardis had run a bit further away but stopped to sniff the air like a bloodhound on the chase. Once again, for the hundredth time and most likely not the last, Emmy took off after her espurr. Tardis saw her and continued running all the way to the route 10 gate. Once there, Tardis ran into the door and came running back out with a startled face. From inside the gate Emmy heard the crisp laughter of which could only belong to her cheerful friend Lyra.

Seizing the chance, Emmy tossed a packet of macaroons into the air. Tardis jumped up to catch them, but a large bird Pokémon caught the packet and flew away. Lyra emerged from the gate door and saw Emmy dressed in her yellow t-shirt and khaki shorts. At Emmy waist she had two pokeballs. Lyra wore jeans and a teal shirt with a mailbag purse. On her waist she wore two pokeballs.

Lyra laughed again and smiling she said, "I saw some boys in Viridian city. I wanted to battle them but I thought you might want to talk to them with me." Emmy mumbled something vaguely related to, "… stupid skarmory stole Tardis's macaroons…." She nodded and followed Lyra through the gate.

Meanwhile on route 10….

I kept a constant eye on the sky as I waited for my skarmory to return. My friend, Zero, was beside me and mumbling about how hungry he was. "I wish some food would just drop out of the sky right now." We waited and I heard the familiar sound of my skarmory's cry. Smiling I held out my hand as two silver blurs came out of the sky. One belonged to skarmory and the other to a silver packet that had macaroons written on it. Zero saw them and pounced on them.

He groaned as he sat up. "I said I wanted food not this!" This time I laughed as he shook his head. He got up and stood next to the un-mowed grass. He had a black shirt on with a tri-force imprinted on it. He wore cargo shorts and had two pokeballs on his waist.

I wore a light blue zip shirt over a gray shirt. I wore cargo shorts and on my waist I had two pokeballs. "Well, are you going to eat them or not?" I demanded. He opened the bag. To my astonishment and to Zero's too, a blue espurr raced out the route gate a few hundred meters in front of us. The pokemon was headed toward Zero!

It leapt the remaining few feet onto Zero's face. As he fell backwards, he tossed the macaroons into the air and covered his face. Then I saw two girls racing towards us. The espurr ran a few meters away and nibbled contentedly on one of the cookies. One girl ran toward Zero who was just overcoming his shock and one ran toward the espurr.

"Hi there, I'm Lyra." She said extending her hand out to Zero. Zero hesitantly shook it and said, "I'm Zero and that there is Max." Lyra smiled and shook my hand. The other girl walked towards us the espurr walking behind her. "I'm Emmy." She said slowly and carefully as if she were trying to think of the right words to say.

Emmy pulled out a red box that I recognized as a pokedex. Smiling I reached into my backpack for mine. As I pulled it out, her eyes met mine and I recognized surprise that I had it. She started to say something but was interrupted by an argument from behind us.

"Yeah! I stopped it alright! WITH MY FACE!" Zero roared. "Why can't you keep a better eye on your pokemon!?" Lyra looked him in the eye and said with malice, "Tardis the Espurr is not mine. And please, calm down unless you want to get hurt in a battle. "

"I accept that challenge." Zero said. He stepped back a few steps as Lyra did and tossed a pokeball from his waist. "Go snivy!" Simultaneously, Lyra threw out her chickorita. "Ghor! Use tackle!" She said. Zero responded with a vine whip and help her in place.

Emmy met my eyes and I agreed with her. Hastily we tapped our pokedexes together and transferred data. After a few minutes of screaming and downloading, everything was complete.

Emmy and I turned to each other, then our friends. We walked to our friends sides and tossed out our own pokemon. Emmy sent out a vaporeon and I sent out my chimchar. After a few minutes of exchanging attacks like tackle and scratch. I had chimchar use blaze, which knocked out snivy and chickorita after snivy had taken out vaporeon. Vaporeon put chimchar on low health and blaze does recoil, so all of our first pokemon were out of the battle.

Next Emmy sent out geodude, Lyra sent out Pikachu, Zero sent out riolu and I sent out my skarmory. The geodude used self-destruct and knocked out all of the Pokémon. Emmy won by default because her espurr didn't participate in the battle.

After we had returned our Pokémon, we headed toward Viridian city Pokémon Center. When we got there we saw a shady looking man in a brown trench coat and a brown hat waiting outside the Pokémon Center. We walked in and restored our Pokémon. Emmy decided to leave her geodude behind and stored it in the PC storage system.

When we walked out, we walked into a group of people wearing various suits from criminal groups from a few regions. I recognized a Team Rocket worker, who wore a black suit and a black hat with the words, 'Team Rocket' embroidered on the bill. I also recognized the Team Aqua worker. He wore a blue suit and had the words, 'Water is life' stitched into the suit jacket.

I didn't know the other two. One wore a red jumpsuit and had red hair combed backwards over his head. 'Team Flare' was stitched into the cloth over his heart. The other person wore a silver workout suit and wore the letter, 'G' on her hat and her hair was dyed different colors.

I looked around and noticed the man from before was watching discreetly from the corner of a building a few meters away. I saw Zero's anger in his eyes. Before I could stop him he let out a growl and started toward the group.

A/n Hello peeps! Sorry I haven't been active lately but I've been busy. Hope you enjoyed!
