AN: so this is the revised edition of The Combination Master. I redid some parts of the first chapter so that's why it looks slightly different but overall it's pretty much the same…the reason I revised the first chapter is because of an author by the name of Farla who had reviewed on the original story and gave some decent points on writing but said something at the very end that actually made me mad and I quote "you need to spend less time on laying out every detail of how you want this whole "combination master" business to work and more on understanding that just because you/your main character care a lot about this doesn't mean everyone else is precisely as invested. Focus on writing an actual story."
I'm sorry Farla…but did you say "Focus on writing an actual story."? Do you know how hard it is for some people to write an actual story as you put it? You of all people should know how hard it is for someone to write a first chapter or even a prologue. Now I will admit I am not the best person when it comes to writing but at least I give it my all. And for your other comment on one of the conditions of the original, those were more like guidelines to make sure Caleb was able to take care of his Pokémon and even in the video games you usually have your starter at the second evolution by the fifth to sixth gym. And not only that but I've been writing for almost four years now and two of those I could barely write due to me attending jobcorps to get some experience in a trade of my choice so I've been writing decently for about two years. So even though your review was to help me, you ruined it by your comment of "focus on writing an actual story" so if you don't like my stories then don't read them, simple as that.
Well now that my rant is done…on with the story
The Combination Master revised edition
It was a warm summer morning in the town of pallet. We find ourselves looking at an ordinary house…but inside that house is an extraordinary person. One who is determined to start his journey and that journey starts today. We see the person getting ready for the big day, wearing black pants with green sneakers while on top he wore a dark green t-shirt. Just then he heard a voice calling from downstairs, "Caleb, breakfast is ready!"
"Coming mom!" the now named Caleb said as he ran down the stairs and sat at the table. "Well seems like someone's eager for the day to start." Caleb's mom said as she set a plate, of eggs and toast, down in front of Caleb who smiled and said "Well yeah today is the day I start my Pokémon journey!"
"Is that today? Huh, well hurry up and eat then. You don't want to be late do you?" Caleb's mom said as Caleb finished his food and got up from the table. "Bye mom, I will see you when I get back from Professor Oak's lab." Caleb said as he walked out the door, and then ran down the street all the way to Professor Oak's lab. Panting he reached the door and knocked, "just a second." was heard from inside the building.
The door opened as a grey-haired man came out wearing a red shirt and khaki pants while also wearing a lab coat over the outfit. "Ah Caleb you're just in time to pick your starter." Professor Oak said as he led Caleb inside the building to a machine that had three spherical objects each one being red on top and white on bottom with a black line going around the middle with the black line forming a circle with a white button in the center.
Each one had a different sticker on it to separate it from the others the first being a green leaf, the second being an orange flame, and the third being a blue drop of water. "Each one of these pokeballs holds a different Pokémon. The three you can get here in Kanto are Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle." With this being said, Professor Oak released the three Pokémon from the confines of the pokeballs.
The first Pokémon was a turquoise four-legged creature with dark turquoise spots all over its body and had a flower bulb on its back. "This Pokémon is bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon and the Grass starter of the Kanto region." Professor Oak said as he moved from bulbasaur to the next Pokémon which was an orange lizard like Pokémon that stood on two legs and the tip of its tail was ablaze. "This Pokémon is charmander, the Lizard Pokémon and the Fire starter of the Kanto region." Professor Oak said as he moved to the last Pokémon which was a blue turtle that stood on two legs. "This is squirtle the Tiny Turtle Pokémon and the water starter of the Kanto region. Now do you know which one you will choose Caleb?" Professor Oak asked as Caleb thought over his choices.
He already knew that his dream was to become a Pokémon master but not a regular one… no he wanted to become a Combination Master. What is that? Well it's basically a Pokémon master that uses combination moves that require two or more separate moves to be used together to make a new move. Each of the Kanto starters could learn ten or more different types of moves. Bulbasaur when it reached its final stage of evolution could learn up to eight different types of moves, while squirtle when it reached its final evolution stage could learn up to eleven different types of moves…but that pales in comparison to charmander whose final evolution stage could learn up to thirteen different move types.
Finally, Caleb made his decision, "I choose charmander." Caleb said as he walked over to charmander, looked it straight in the eyes and said "charmander I want to be the very first combination master. And I can tell just by looking at you that you are pretty strong but how would you like to be even stronger?" charmander cocked its head to the side and said in its native tongue "Char?"
"Professor Oak what moves does Charmander know as of right now?" Caleb asked Professor Oak who took a Pokedex off his desk and pointed it at charmander. "This charmander knows Ember, Scratch, Dragon Pulse, and Metal Claw. Note: It has yet to unlock the egg moves Focus Punch and Air Cutter.""Good, so charmander I can make you a lot stronger by combining the moves you already know, for example once you learn flamethrower we can combine that with dragon pulse to make a dual type move. So, what do you say charmander would you like to come with me on my combination master journey?" Caleb asked
charmander thought to itself for a moment before nodding and jumping into Caleb's arms. "Awesome charmander but I've got another question for you. How would you like a nickname?" charmander nodded in excitement, and after giving it some thought Caleb came up with the perfect name, "charmander how about Akriloth?" charmander tried it out before nodding in acceptance. "Now that you've chosen your starter here are five pokeballs, a trainer bag, and the most recently updated Pokedex, now Caleb I know you want to go to the other regions and I will allow it…" at this Caleb's face lit up in excitement, "However I have a few conditions that must be met first before I allow you to go to any other regions.
Number one; catch four more Pokémon from the Kanto region.
Number two; acquire all eight gym badges of the Kanto region.
Number three, document every combination move that you invent,
and number four, and get to at least the semifinals of the Indigo League. The first three conditions are mandatory and must be met before meeting me at the Indigo League to determine if the fourth condition be mandatory or not. I want you to understand that I'm doing this to prepare you for the other regions because each league after this one will be a lot tougher then the last and I don't want your dreams to be shot down before they even begin because I would like to see a combination master in action." Professor Oak said
"Ok Professor Oak I accept the conditions but how am I going to document the combination moves?" Caleb asked
"Oh that's easy I installed a video recorder into the Pokedex." Professor oak said as he returned Akriloth to his pokeball and handed it to Caleb, "I wish you good luck on your journey Caleb. Now go to your mother and say goodbye." Professor Oak said as Caleb nodded and left the building. 'That boy…I see a bright future for that boy and I know he will accomplish his dream.'
