Alright, this will explain why I have been reluctant to write the other fanfic of mine...I have been SO hooked on Pokemon as of late, that I couldn't help myself to writing a fanfic with my own characters...So I will be jugling this one along with my other one. This will be set up a bit like the manga as well. Starting with the Kanto Region, it will go into the Jhoto, Hoenn, etc. Also, there will be a chapter for EVERY route. This is a good way for you to get aquainted to my characters as well. And I know I will seem like a Poke-freak too...but I don't care!
It was a quiet, peaceful day in the town of Pallet. There were children playing with the Pokémon that belonged to their families rather as pets than as something to battle with. The kids loved to play with their beloved Pokemon. They made a habit out of it every day. Most of their dreams were to become Pokemon trainers so they too could catch and train Pokemon or be their friends as they traveled. Mostly, it was people's dreams to live with Pokemon in peace and harmony. Living together without any problems at all.
"Stop! Theif!" Cried a voice from the lab that was stationed in this town. Someone had just stolen from their lab which was filled with nothing but Pokeballs that trainers had left in his care.
The thief looked to be nothing more than your average, common criminal. They were frantic, probably just trying to steal a strong Pokemon to defend themselves with. Unfortunately, they were stopped short of their run out of the town by a young boy who looked to be in his late teens. He wore all green and had black spiky hair along with red eyes.
The thief looked up at the young man whom he had just bumped into. He was scared to think of what he might be facing next. But instead of a glare of yelling, this boy just smiled at him. "Say, is that Pokemon stolen?" He asked.
"…And what if it was!" The thief answered frantically, wanting to get away.
"Well, if it is, then I'll give you a fair fight for it…If you can beat me, then I'll look the other way and pretend that I never saw you….But if I win, then you have to hand it over, no questions asked, alright?" He said with a smile still plastered on his face. This in turn, confused the man, as he didn't understand this boy's logic very well…maybe he was insane?
"Whatever…you seem like you don't know much anyway. So this should be easy, even with a Pokemon that I just stole…." He said, backing up a bit so their battle would have a decent arena.
"I can see where you might think that mister…But I must assure you….I know what I am doing…I just think that with the common criminal such as yourself, I should give them a fair fighting chance, rather than just sick my Pokemon on them." He said as he pulled out a Pokeball from his bag, pressing the button to enlarge it for battle. The man in turn, did the same, soon throwing it to release the Pokemon that was held inside.
The Pokeball seemed to stall in midair, releasing the Pokemon that was inside, it coming out in a flash of red light. What came out was what looked to be a giant bee. It had large twin needles for hands.
"Beedrill is my choice. What will you use? Considering what I see children with these days, I would suspect something along the lines of a Caterpie? Or perhaps a Slowpoke? Well, which will it be?" He asked in a mocking voice.
"Hmm…You do make a valid point…Children do train almost nothing but the small Pokemon, but that is because they are normally beginning trainers who think that they look cute. So they deside to train them, soon finding out that they raised something worthwhile, yet to weak to count on. Then again, any Pokemon is accountable in battle. Any Pokemon can be used to your advantage. But I don't rely on the steryotypical Pokemon. I rely on the Pokemon that can be used for surprise and strategy. So, my choice, is this…" He said as he released his Pokemon in a flash of red light. What came out of the Pokeball was a barge, blue serpent-like creature with what seemed to be little wings on its head and a jewel under its chin. The man in question's face went pale when he saw the kid's choice.
"You…But how did you? Where in the world did you get a Dragonair!" He screamed out as he panicked on his first move. Beedrill looked confused as it saw its supposed 'trainer' spazz out at the sight of the only dragon type known to Kanto.
Their battle brought in a crowd, since this was such a mysterious thing. This lone boy, unknown to the town, coming in and stopping a thief. Not to mention, that this kid had a rare Pokemon with him. The boy though, narrowed his eyebrows while waiting for the man to call out a command.
"Fine, if you won't make a move, I will. Dragonair, use Twister!" He called out. In turn, the Dragonair's eyes seemed to glow as it twirled its tail around, sending a magnificent twister towards the Beedrill. Since its trainer was still unsure of what to do, the Beedrill took a direct hit to it, knocking it out in one turn. "I do believe that you need to hand over the Pokemon now." Said the mysterious boy.
The man groaned and handed over the Pokeball which belonged to Beedrill. The boy smiled happily and called Beedrill back. "Now then, can anyone tell me how to get to Prof. Oak's lab from here?" He asked towards the villiagers.
"I can!" Called an older voice from the crowd, which then, a man in a lab coat appeard from amongst the towns folk. "I can take you there, because I am the one you are looking for." He said with a smile.
"So you're Prof. Oak. I'm glad that I found you. I came here to get one of those three Pokemon that you keep here." He said as he handed over the Pokeball containing Beedrill to him. The Professor smiled as he was handed back the Pokeball and then led him to his lab.
"By the way boy, I never caught your name…" He said as they were walking back.
"That's because I never gave it to you. My name is Akio." He said. "And this is my partner Dragonair."
The Pokemon let out a cry as if it was trying to say hello as Akio stroked its head.
"I see. Well, I'm glad that you stopped by when you did. If not, then that thief might have gotten away."
"Nah, I don't think so. I think someone might have stopped him eventually." He said as they walked in through the doors to the lab.
The inside was no disappointment to him either. The walls were lined with machines and different researches. One wall even had a few rows of Pokeballs lining it.
"Wow! It's just as I imagined and more!" He exclaimed, such as a small child would in a candy store.
"You seem to love machinery. He said as he returned Beedrills' Pokeball back to where it was supposed to go. He then walked over to a round container and pressed a button, bringing up three Pokeballs that were specially kept there.
"Yeah, I love machines. But I think that my love for Pokemon goes a little more above that." He said, chuckling slightly. "So, are these the three Pokemon that you have been studying?" He asked, examining them closely.
"Why yes, actually." He said as he picked one up. "How about I give you a look at them?" The Professor suggested as he opened up one of the Pokeballs, letting out a small, blue turtle. "This, is Squirtle. It's a water type Pokemon."
Akio smiled at the little Pokemon. "It's cute. But I don't think that it's my style though…sorry Squirtle."
The Pokemon frowned slightly, but somehow understood what he meant, so it smiled after a bit and nodded.
The next Pokemon that the Professor let out to show Akio, was a small, red salamander Pokemon.
"This one is called Charmander." He said with a smile.
"Charmander huh? It's cute, but I don't think that I will take it…What about the grass type?"
The Charmander let out a small flame in frustration as Oak let the grass type out of its Pokeball.
"This one is Bulbasaur." He said, motioning to the small, dinosaur like creature with a bulb on its back. Akio smiled as he saw it, nodding.
"I like him. I think that this is the Pokemon that I'll take." He said, standing up straight again after getting a good look at the three traditional starter Pokemon.
Oak nodded and then handed over Bulbasaur's Pokeball to Akio, then walking over to grab something for him. "Akio, since I am giving that Bulbasaur to you, I would also like you to have something else."
"And what might that be?" He asked as he picked Bulbasaur into his arms. The small grass type smiled and let out a cry of happiness to have a new trainer. It seemed like these two were meant to be together. He saw the Professor walk over to another table which had small, red colored devices on it. He picked one up and then handed it to Akio. Akio took it into his hand and took a look at it. "What is this?" He asked, confused at what he was holding.
"That, my young boy, is a Pokedex. It is a device used for recording the data of Pokemon of all different types, shapes and sizes, once you catch them that is." He explained. Akio nodded and put the Pokedex into his pocket.
"Alright. I understand. So you want me to go out and collect the data of Pokemon all over the Kanto Region. I think that I can do that. But I can't guarantee that I will keep them all. I am only interested in catching and training the Pokemon that mean a lot to me, such as my Dragonair and theis Bulbasaur. The others could mean nothing to me in the sense of friendship and then I will release them. But I guess, so long as I have their data, that won't matter right?" He asked after petting Bulbasaurs' head a bit.
The Professor smiled and nodded. "Precisely my boy! Now then, I suggest that you be heading off now. Perhaps you could take on the eight gym leaders and enter into the Pokemon League." He suggested.
"Sounds like a plan. I think that I will. The closest operating gym from here is the Pewter City Gym. They train rock types if I remember. Well then, Bulbasaur will be a good choice for facing them then. You ready Bulbasuar?" He asked the small grass type in his arms.
Bulbasaur smiled and let out a cry of confidence, stating that it was ready to face anything that came their way. But they had a long trip ahead of them if they wanted to make it all the way to Pewter City.
As they tried to leave the lab, they were greeted by someone crashing into them, knocking Bulbasaur out of Akio arms and causing Akio to land flat on his rear end. "Ouch! What the hell!" He yelled at the one whom just ran into him.
The young boy who had come into the lab was a peculiar looking one. His clothes were a bit odd for someone his age, the colors being black and pink. Strange for a boy. On top of that, his hair was pink as well! What a strange one. His eyes were a normal color though, the two orbs showing a vibrant green color. "Huh? Oh! I'm sorry!" He said almost immediately upon hearing him complain. "You see, I was just coming here to get my first Pokemon." He said as he rubbed his head in embarrassment. The Professor smiled and then helped the two of them up.
"Ah, young little Kitsune, I see that you finally made it. Well, unfortunately there are only two Pokemon left for you to choose from, but I think that the one you wanted is still here."
The young boy nodded and walked over to take a look at the two remaining starter Pokemon. He smiled when he saw that his choice was still there. "I want the little Squirtle~!" He said happily. The Professor smiled and handed over the Pokeball that belonged to Squirtle. Kit smiled as he pet the small water types' head. Squirtle smiled and let out a cry of happiness. "So," He said, looking over at Akio. "are you going to go and travel from town to town? If so, can I join you!" He asked excitedly.
"Yeah, I am…But I don't want any tag-alongs." He said as he picked Bulbasaur back up into his arms and headed out of the lab. The young boy followed him anyway after grabbing one of the Pokedex's that he had been given an explanation of a few days prior.
He followed him closely through most of the town, not letting him out of his sight. Akio grew angry at him for this. "Just what the hell do you want you brat!" He yelled at him.
"Well, I just wanted to be able to travel with someone is all…" He sheepishly said back to him. "I may be 15, but I don't really have that much knowledge of the world outside this town. So I was wondering if you might travel with me…"
"If you don't have that much knowledge, then why are you going out on a journey in the first place!" He yelled back at him.
"Well,…that is…I…uhhh…"
"You don't have an answer do you kid?" He asked him. "Well then, I'll make you a deal. If you can beat me in a battle, using the Pokemon that we just caught, then I'll let you tag along. But if you lose, then you have to travel on your own. Got it?"
"Got it!" He said, nodding his head in confidence. He knew that his Pokemon had a disadvantage, but he didn't care.
The two of them took their places on opposite sides of a wide enough area for their battle and then Akio let go of Bulbasuar, letting the small grass type wander onto the field. The Pokemon waddled out and stood its ground, letting out a cry of confidence as it stood there. In turn, Kit pulled out his Pokeball and threw it, releasing Squirtle onto the battle field in a flash of red. The small water type smiled and did a small water gun into the air to show its confidence.
"Boasting like that will only hurt you in the end…" Akio stated, pulling out his Pokedex to check on what moves Bulbasaur could use at the moment. The moves that he saw that it knew were Growl, Tackle, and Vine Whip.
Kit on the other hand puffed out his cheeks and stuck his tongue out at him, not caring about the boast of power Squirtle had just shown. "So what if that may be true! I think that Squirtle is just trying to have fun! Now then…what moves do you know Squirtle?" He said as he too looked at the Pokedex for its moveset. Squirlte currently knew Water Gun, Rapid Spin and Withdraw.
The two of them nodded once they became acquainted with their Pokemon's moveset and then they got ready for the battle.
"Bulbasaur, use Growl!" Akio called out. The Pokemon in turn, let out a loud cry which casued Squirtle to cover its ears.
"Squirtle, hang in there and use Rapid Spin!" He called out. The small turtle Pokemon listened and withdrew itself into its shell and spun around, allowing it to move around without having to hear the annoying sound of the Growl attack. Akio gritted his teeth together.
"Tch, damn. Well then Bulabsaur, dodge it- Ahh!" He exclaimed as hefound that his command was uttered to slowly and his Bulbasaur took a direct hit from the Rapi Spin. This caused Bulbasaur to fly backwards. It soon regained its footing as Akio called out another command. "Now, use Vine Whip to stop that incessant spinning!"
The Pokemon did as its trainer commanded and used the vines that came out of its back to stop the spinning that the water type was doing.
"Squirtle, use Water Gun and aim at Bulbasaurs' feet!" Kit called out. The water Pokemon did so and Bulbasaur lost its footing. "Now, use Rapid Spin once again!"
The small water type did so and got another direct hit in on the grass type. This time however, the Pokemon didn't get up.
"I guess that means I win right?" He asked as he saw that the Bulbasaur was unable to continue fighting and was knocked unconscious. Akio gritted his teeth together and admitted defeat.
"How? How was my grass type defeated by a water type?" He asked himself. "But whatever, you can come along then…" He said, recalling Bulbasaur back into its Pokeball.
"Hooray~!" Kit exclaimed. "Oh, and the reason you lost was because you are too over confident and lack the correct timing to call out your commands. And you think that just because you have the superior typing means that you will win. But you are wrong there."
Akio sighed. "I guess I have much to learn then."
"Correct! And I can teach you. I might not know that much when it comes to the world outside of Pallet Town, but I know a lot about Pokemon battling and typing and strategy and stuff like that~!"
This conversation continued even after they were out of the town, Akio, having a mutual like and dislike for this kid all at the same time as he began his journey into the Kanto Region with the boy known as Kit.
