The Road to Honor
"Love!" yells a mother as she tries to awaken her kid. "Love! Will you wake up!"
"I'm coming mom!" yells the child as the sheet covers seem to spit the child out of the sheet covers.
"Everyday Love! Why can't you just wake up on time?" asks the mother as she looks at the child.
"Because I've broken seven alarm clocks this month and you don't want to pay for another thing I throw at my wall," explains the kid as the piece of toast joyfully pops into the air.
"Love Ellery Ashford! You sit down and eat breakfast like a normal child!" yells the mother.
"I have to go mom! Today their handing out pokemon!" yells the kid as a flash of light exits the house.
"That kid, never stopping for a single second," says the mom with a smile. "Seems to get that from the father."
Love runs down the street towards the laboratory when something seems to be blocking the way. Love bounces off this mysterious thing and looks up at it. It's the Oak's, the Ashford's next door neighbors.
"What are you doing here Love?" snarls the boy with ash brown hair and vibrant steel gray eyes.
"Blue? Are you getting a pokemon also?" asks Love.
"No, I'm looking for my Grampa, have you seen him?" asks Blue, looking around.
"Like I would know," says Love.
"Like I asked you," replies Blue. "But when you do see him, please tell him that I'm looking for him. He promised me that I could have a pokemon and he hasn't shown up yet."
"Okay," says Love with a smile. Blue helps Love up and walks away.
"Smell ya later," says Blue with a miniature salute towards Love.
Love's cheeks turn red in embarrassment. "I don't smell!" yells Love. Love puffs the ivory, soft skin of the now monkey-like cheeks. Love then take off the red hat that was covering the gorgeous black, short hair underneath. Then, while turning around, Love starts to walk off in search of adventure. This new, adventurous thirteen year old lives in Pallet town, with Professuer Oak and his family.
"Hey!" yells someone from behind. Love looks back at the town to see a man with white hair running up with a wave of his hands, trying to stop the stupid child from doing something dangerous.
"Are you kidding me Love," pants Professuer Oak. "How many times have I told you and Blue to stay out of the tall grass! It's unsafe! Wild pokemon live in the tall grass. You need your own pokemon for your protection."
"But you never gave me a pokemon. You thought I wasn't grown-up enough for it," complains Love.
"Well," thinks Oak as he rubs his chin. "You are a boy of acceptable age."
Boy? Boy? I'm a boy now? Well if it would let me get away from these adults then it's a boy I shall be.
"I know!" says professuer Oak randomly. "Here, come with me!"
Oak took Love's hand and guided them towards the laboratory. Soon, a pokemon with a cute face and yellow fur with a distinct look of a mouse pops out.
"Argh! Can you wait a second?" asks Oak.
"Um.. I-I guess so," says Love.
"This will only take a second," says Oak as he turns around and throws the pokeball. The ball wiggles a little and then stays still.
"All right! Pikachu was caught!" says Oak. He picks up the pokeball and turns back towards Love. "Now, we shall go."
There, Love meet up with the Professuer's handsome grandson.
"Gramps! I'm fed up with waiting!" says Blue noisily.
"Quiet Blue, I'm talking with Love," says Professuer Oak.
"You told me to come here and get a pokemon!" says Blue.
"That's right, I did," says Professuer Oak. "How about this, Love, why don't you chose the pokemon on the table?"
"Hey! What about me?" asks Blue.
"Be patient! Blue, you can pick after Love," says Oak.
"Fine, if the lady wants to go first then let him," mocks Blue.
"Now Blue! That is obviously not true! We are all men here and it's against the law for women to be trainers because of the danger."
"Misty and a few other gym leaders are females," says Blue.
"But they are special conditions, coming from wealthy cities and rich, upperlevel towns. We're not one of those towns!"
Why can't people see me as a girl, thinks Love. She walks over and looks in the pokeballs. There was only one left. Blue pushes Love out of the way and takes the ball. Love's hat tumbles to the ground and reveals her boyish shiny black hair.
"No way! Love, I want this pokemon!" yells Blue.
"Blue! What are you doing?" yells Oak.
"Gramps, I want this one!" says Blue.
"It's fine, he can have it," says Love as she gets up and brushes the dirt off of her.
"But, I... I guess that if you agree with that," says Oak. "That pokemon is yours. I was going to give you one anyway.. Hey Love, come over here."
Love walks over to Oak and he hands her a pokeball.
"Love, this is the pokemon I caught earlier," says Oak. "You can have it though. I caught it in the wild and it's not tame yet."
"Thank you Professeur Oak!" says Love with a cheerful smile.
"Do you want to give a nickname to Pikachu?" asks Oak.
"Can I?" asks Love.
"Of course," says Oak.
"Let me think... How about Chu-Chu?" asks Love.
"That seems befitting," says Oak.
"It sounds girlie," says Blue.
"I wasn't asking you!" says Love as she sticks out her tongue. Love leaves but Blue steps in front of her and glares at her.
"Wait Love!" says Blue. "Let's check out our pokemon!"
"I wouldn't want anything else!" says Love. "I would like to see what pokemon I would've gotten."
"It's better then yours that's for sure!" says Blue. "Come on, I'll take you on!"
Blue sents out his pokemon, eevee.
"Chu-Chu! Use thundershock!" yells Love.
"Use tackle Eevee," says Blue with an uncaring wave of his hand.
"Then use thundershock again!"
"Use tackle Eevee."
"NO~!" yells Love. "Thundershock, thundershock, thundershock!"
Chu-Chu looks at Love and thundershocks her.
"I'm sorry, can you please use thundershock for me?" begs Love. Pikachu then thundershocks Eevee again.
"Use tail-whip," says Blue.
"This could be our chance Chu-Chu! Use Thundershock!" yells Love excitedly. Love holds her breath for the next move.
"Use Tackle Eevee," says Blue.
"No~!" yells Love. Chu-Chu gets out of the way. Love rejoices, "Yeah! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Then use thundershock!"
Eevee faints and Love jumps up and down. "You did it Chu-Chu! Way to go! You're the best, best ever!" says Love.
"Pikachu just looks exhausted and beat up and Love quickly picks him up before he faints and hugs him reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallly tight.
"Okay! I'll make my pokemon fight to toughen it up! Love! Gramps! Smell you later!" says Blue as he peaces out and leaves.
"I DON'T SMELL!" yells Love.
"What?" asks Oak. Pikachu refuses to get back into the ball as Love tries to get him back in. "Would you look at that! It's odd, but it appears that your pikachu dislikes pokeballs. You should just keep it with you. That should make it happy! You can talk to it and see how it feels about you."
"Really? That's so cool!" yells Love.
"Love, please!" says Oak. "Don't be so loud! Now you need to start your adventure. Oh, and make sure to document it."
"Document it? How?" asks Love.
"With this," says Oak has he hands Love a journal with a blank white front for drawl on and blank pages in it. "When ever you find things that are interesting or cool, just add them to the diary."
"Thank you Professeur," says Love with a bow. "I'll make sure to do that."
Love quickly runs out of the door with a skip, with Chu-Chu following quickly besides her.
"This is going to be interesting," says Oak with a smile.
Chapter 1
Love walks into the grass and the first pokemon she sees is a pidgey. "This is so cool! Chu-Chu! Lets capture it!" says Love with a pumped up personality. Pikachu sniffs and looks away.
"Then lets just try! Please Chu-Chu?" asks Love. Chu-Chu just runs in front of Love and sparks up.
"All right! Let's do this! Use thundershock," says Love. Pidgey quickly fainted.
"Aw man! Wh...what was that!" says Love. "I wanted that pokemon."
"Pik," says Chu-Chu with a shrug and then runs out in front of her.
"Wait for me!" says Love as she follows Chu-Chu into Viranda City. Love then curls over after Chu-Chu stopped and panted for breath.
"Tha-that was a good run," says Love as she pants after every word. "I just... I just need to catch my breath."
"Are you sure about that?" asks some random guy with a cute smile.
"Yeah," says Love with a cute smile.
"Hey! You came from Pallet Town?" he asks. "You know Professeur Oak, right?"
"Yeah, him and I tend to be tight," says Love with a shrug.
"His order came in. Will you take it to him?" asks the guy.
"I guess," says Love with a puff of her cheeks.
"Thanks so much!" says the guy with a cute smile. He hands Love the package.
"You're welcome," says Love with a sigh and she turns around. She quickly get through the first few cliff between Viranda and Pallet Town. Before Love got into Pallet Town, the Pidgey from before jumped out.
"Oh! I don't have time for this!" says Love. "Thundershock."
Chu-Chu just lets a thundershock out, making the pidgey faint instantly.
"Well that was uneventful," says Love. "Come on Chu-Chu, we've got to get this to Oak before we can start our adventure."
"Chu~!" says Chu-Chu like a moan. They walk into Oak's lab and Professeur Oak.
"Hey Love! Back so soon?" asks Professeur Oak. "Well look at you're Pikachu! You must be a talented pokemon trainer."
"Nah! I'm only as good as my partner, ain't that right Chu-Chu," says Love with a cheerful smile.
"Pika~!" says Chu-Chu, almost offended.
"Oh that's right! I have something for you," says Love as she goes through her bag.
"What? You have something for me?" asks Oak.
"I just did said that," says Love. She takes out the parcel and hands it over to Professeur Oak.
"Oh... thank you Love," says Oak as he looks at it. As he opens the box he almost looks relieved. "Ah! This is the custom Pokeball I ordered! By the way, I must ask you to do something for me."
"Of course," says Love.
"Gramps!" yells Blue as he walks into the lab. "Gramps, my pokemon has grown stronger! Check it out!"
"What'cha doing here Blue!" says Love.
"Love! No wonder it smells so bad," says Blue.
"Take that back you!" says Love.
"I don't want to!" says Blue with a smirk. Love snarls and clenches her fist.
"That's enough you two!" Yells Oak. "Blue, I'm glad to see it, but you two need to stop this stupid feud you have going on. I needed to ask both of you to do something for me."
"I thought it was only me!" whines Love.
"I need both of your help. On the desk there is my invention; the pokedex! It automatically records data on Pokemon you've seen or caught! It's a hi-tech encyclopedia!"
"That's so cool!" says Love.
"Love and Blue! Take these with you!" says Oak as he hands a pokedex to both Blue and Love.
"Look at this! Look at this Blue!" says Love as she shows her pokedex to Blue.
"I know," says Blue with a laugh. "I've got one too."
"To make a complete guide on all the pokemon in the world... That was my dream!" says Professuer Oak.
"Tell us Professeur Oak! Tell us exactly how you did not accomplish this dream," says Love mockingly.
"Love! Please be quiet for a second," scolds Oak. Blue laughs and Oak fixes his lab coat. "Now where was I? Oh yes, my dream. But, I'm too old! I can't do it!"
"You've got that right," whispers Love and Blue laughs.
"Love," scolds Oak. "So, I want you two to fulfill my dream for me! Get moving, you two! This is a great undertaking in Pokemon history!"
"Wait! When did we agree to this!" says Love.
"Just do this," says Oak.
"You're not my mother, I want to follow my own dream!" says Love.
"Will, if you don't do this, then I'm taking your pokemon away!" says Oak.
"Got it!" says Love, almost uncaring.
"Can't you at least have some enthusiasm?" asks Oak with a sigh.
"Alright Gramps! Leave it all to me!" says Blue.
"No! If Blue can do it then I will too!" says Love as she get's more pumped up.
"I can do it all by myself!" says Blue. "Love, I hate to say it, but I don't need you!"
"You loved every minute of that sentence," says Love as she sticks out her tongue. Blue sticks out his tongue also.
"I know! I'll borrow a town map from my sis! I'll tell her not to lend you one, Love! hahaha!" says Blue as he turns to leave.
"Like she'll listen to you!" yells Love. Love quickly runs outside, racing Blue towards his house. The both burst through the door of Blue's house with a gorgeous brunette, sitting at a table and looking at two town maps on the table.
"Oh! What are you two doing together?" asks the sister.
"We need a map!" they both say together.
"Okay, okay! I have one for both of you," says the sister as she gives Blue a map.
"Sucka!" says Blue with a laugh. He pulls down his eyelid and stuck out his tongue. "And don't give one to Love!"
"Grampa asked you two to run an errand?" asks the sister as she leans forward and folds her hands together with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Yeah," says Love as she looks down at the ground.
"Here, this will help you~!" says the girl with a smile and hands Love a map.
"Thank you," says Love with a bow. She turns to leave the house.
"Oh! And Love," says the sister.
"Yeah?" asks Love before she opens the door.
"He'll come around, he just has to mature a little bit," says the sister.
"What do you mean?" asks Love.
"Blue, he'll understand you're feelings when he grows up," says the sister.
"W-wh-wh-what do you mean!" says Love with a huge blush on her face.
"Oh come on," says the sister with a smile on her face and a tilt of her head. "I know you're feelings. You know, with us being girls and all."
"How did you know!" says Love with a blush.
"I was there when you were born," says the sister.
"So was Blue," says Love. "But he knows I'm a boy."
"You don't have to lie to me," says the sister with a smile. "I. Know. Who. You. Are."
"I'm sorry, I never meant to lie to anyone," says Love with a bow.
"Don't worry about it," says the sister. "Just win for us girls of Pallet Town."
"Of course! I'm fighting for all the girls who were told no! Like you," says Love with a sweet smile.
"Oh! And Love," says the sister.
"What?" asks Love.
"Make sure my brother finds someone to love, and make sure he cries whenever he battles you," says the sister.
"Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way," says Love with a smile as she runs out.
The sister just laughs and drinks her tea. "I miss that, the warm romance. I wonder how long it will take them to realize it," says the sister with a laugh.
