Because I thought that Tropius (AKA-Pilo) needed some love too. I even have a lv. 100 Tropius in my Sapphire gameboy advance game and came to love oh-so much~ Anyways, I do not own Pokemon or any of the characters. I just came up with this plot myself~ Please go easy on me (it's my first fan-fic).
It was a rainy day in Littleroot, a small girl could be seen outside her home, soaking in the rain. The girl looked to be around eight and had sapphire eyes and light brown hair which was kept in a bun. She wore leaves and vines around her torso and bottom. She also had light red markings on her arms and legs.
"Sapphire, honey!" the girl turns her head to the entrance of the door to her home to see who was calling her. It was her father, professor Birch. "Sapphire, I know that you like to go out and play with the pokemon, but it's poring outside. You'll catch a cold and get sick!" her father stares at her with worried eyes.
"But, daddy!" Said Sapphire, starting to pout. Her father simply crossed his arms and said, "No 'buts', Sapphire. The only 'butt' I want is yours inside this house!" Stubbornly, but obediently, Sapphire begins to go enter the house soaking wet. And after about a moment of examining his daughter, the professor gives a sigh and tells his daughter to go to her room and change into her clothes. However, before the young girl could even make it to her clothes drawer, Sapphire peers out-side her bedroom window and notices that the vines on the side of her house climbed all the way to the roof. Checking to see if the coast was clear, Sapphire then preceded to climb the semi-slippery, but otherwise, stable vines.
Once she reached the top, Sapphire smiled, exposing her teeth. Sitting down, and arms spread out, Sapphire looked up into the grey sky. Just then, she saw a large shadow fly over her with great speed.
"Whoa! What was that?" Sapphire jumps to her feet to see that the large creature crash into the woods near her house. Sapphire rushes down the vines and makes it to the creature. The creature was very large, had a long neck with what seemed to be fruits hanging at its chin, and had very large leaf wings on its back. "What is this? I've never seen a pokemon like this before." The creature began to twitch and groan, it's then that Sapphire noticed that one of the strange pokemon's wings were badly damaged.
"Hold on! I'll go get my Daddy! He's a Pokemon Professor, he'll help you!" Sapphire begins to run as fast as her legs could take her. The pokemon could only stare after the human girl, for it was too tired and hurt to move.
Seconds later, Sapphire comes back with her father. "Look, Daddy! It's hurt!" Says Sapphire, pointing towards the Pokemon. "Oh dear!" the professor gasps. "It's Tropius! But that's strange, they're normally found on route 119, what is it doing here?" But despite his perplexity, The professor knows that the first priority is to care for the pokemon's wounds. With the rain still coming down on them, the Professor proceeds to spray anti-septic and wrap water resistant bandage around the large wing.
Just then, the Tropius' eye springs open and uses one of its wings to push the professor and his daughter away. "Whoa!" The two humans cried out, as they landed somewhat roughly on the muddy ground. It was then that a large lightning bolt crashed down in the very place they were standing before. Both Sapphire and the professor were in shock and did not move an inch. Or at least that was until a voice came from the trees behind them.
"I see that you have found my little thief". A man walked out in front of them with a smirk on his face. He was somewhat muscular and wore a blue shirt, bandanna, and long blue pants. Beside him was a lantern (apparently, Lanterns are ok on land as long as they are kept wet).
"What do you want?" Demanded the professor as Sapphire crouches down in front of the Tropius, ready to fight.
"what do I want, you ask? I want the oversized leaf over there". He jabs his figure towards Tropius. "Why? Well, you see, this over sized pokemon stole some of my food while I was doing my job. So now I want revenge." His smile grew larger.
"Whatever!" Yells Sapphire, still in her crouched position. "Just try it and I'll tear you apart!"
"Calm down Sapphire!", Turning towards his daughter then back to the man in blue. "I understand your frustration, but don't you think this is pretty extreme? Judging from the pokemon's condition, it is slightly underweight, indicating that it has not been eating enough food. It was hungry."
"Well so was I, old man! But that's no excuse for stealing my lunch! Lanturn! Use thunderbolt!"
The blue and yellow creature lets out a battle scream as a bright light headed towards the two humans and the pokemon. But then the light bends towards a nearby tree, causing it to crash down in front of them. The Professor and wild girl looks at the fallen tree, stunned, then looks at the man in blue who was laughing.
"That was just a warning shot, but next time," He licks his lips, "You won't be so lucky".
Love it or hate it, please review so that I know whether to continue on with this story. Thank you!
