AN: Hi guys. This is my new story, and I hope you like it. For future reference please note that Pokemon Master The Tale Unfolds is ON HIATUS As of now. Sorry, but I just don't feel like writing it now. Thanks for your support.
Chapter 1: Embers Of A New Beginning.
I hugged Turtwig happily. I could hardly wait! We were in littleroot town and I was very excited. I would soon be receiving my first pokemon. I also really wanted to meet my new neighbours. I felt the truck stop as Torkoal, Turtwig and I hopped out of the van. The place seemed way smaller than Petalburg city, where my friend May and her brother Max lived as the son and daughter of Norman, the gym leader. I dusted off my T-shirt which said "GRAND FESTIVAL" On it from the time I went with May for a school trip.
"Well, Torky it looks like home. How do you like it?" I said.
Torkoal snorted smoke out of his nose. I carefully set our newly hatched Turtwig, Tiny on the ground as he ran around Torkoal. I hurried and brought them inside and ran as quick as I could upstairs where my little Postcard from Professor Birch was and before I went outside my mom yelled "Ember! The professor is not at the lab. Why don't you go visit your new neighbor meet you neighbor Will and his family!"
"I hear he is a very experienced trainer already! " She added
I sighed and stuffed the card in my pocket. It would have to wait. I decided to bring Torkoal with me so that he could make friends with the other guys pokemon.
At Will's House:
"Mom, is it necessary for me to meet the neighbor?" 10 year old Will asked with a pleasant lilt to his voice.
"Yes Will, it is only polite, You know they do have a few pokemon as pets."
"Pah. They couldn't lift a finger against my Gabite." he said confidently.
His mom walked into the room.
"Will, don't even think about battling them, their daughter just started her journey." She said.
"Maybe I could help her, by travelling with her, if you'll allow it mother." He asked
"Of course Will, why wouldn't I allow it?" she said.
The doorbell rang. Will's mom went to answer the door.
"Hello! You must be Ember!" She said.
Will got a glimpse of a girl about his age with brownish red hair and amber eyes with a healthy looking Torkoal. The pokemon tilted its head at Will.
"Hi! Oh, this is Torkoal, but we call him Torky." I said to Will.
Will inspected the Pokemon carefully, and observed that it was perfectly taken care of. It looked really tough, but he wasn't sure that she owned it.
"Is it yours?"
"Well kind of, he's our family pet but I raised him and cared for him for a lot of time. I even trained him to use combination moves like top coordinators. Do you want to battle?" She asked excitedly
Will grinned. It was showtime.
In the backyard, Will held his pokeball tight. It was a timed one on one battle and it was about to begin. 3...2...1…
"Come on out, Gabite!" He yelled. His healthy and strong Gabite came out in battle stance. "Use Draco Meteor!"
He watched as the meteors came to the ground, impacting the Torkoal.
"Use dig, while using flame charge!" Ember yelled at the same time.
He watched as the pokemon sped through the ground with the attack, but got hit by the meteors. Torkoal immediately fell to the ground in a faint "Torkoal. Nice job. You were awesome." She praised hugging her beloved pokemon.
"Nice job..That was a great battle!" She said shaking Wills hand.
Will was actually impressed. That had been a good battle and her Torkoal had potential. It could have won if she had more experience in the field
"Thanks. That was a cool combination of flame charge and must be into contests, am I right?"
"Oh! I taught him that as a quick and safe dodge. He does not really have much speed so I used flame charge as a dodge."
"Ahh. So..Are you going to defeat gyms or be a pokemon coordinator."
"I like pokemon contests but I could go for doing gyms. I would probably do contests if though."
She replied.
Thats when a yell echoed from in the woods and a growl came with it. Ember made Torkoal stay and started to run, I was behind her and they plunged right into the dark forest.
We ran towards the sound and found it was the pokemon professor like the one on my postcard, Professor Birch. He was being chased by a horde of about 5-6 Zigzagoon.
"Help! Can you grab one of the Pokemon in the bag?"
Ember did as told. I however, merely sent out Metang
"Come on out" she yelled and found herself face to face with a mudkip.
I wondered what the purpose of this exercise was. I mean, didn't the Professor carry around any Pokemon?
"Step aside Ember, I got this." I said confidently
Metang, use Meteor Mash. My Metang, a hue of gold and silver used the move. The hands of said Pokemon started glowing, and they collided with the Zigzagoon. All 6 of them fainted. Suddenly, before the Prof. could move, 3 Poochyena jumped out of the bushes and surrounded him. I was about to attack, when Ember made her Mudkip use Water Gun thrice. All the Poochyena got hit, and each one fainted from the attack, because of Mudkip landing a critical hit.
"Thank you, thank you so much." said the exhausted Professor. "You must be Ember. Are you here to receive your Pokemon? You can stop by at my lab later. And.. wait WHAT? Will, is that you? Where have you been for the past year? I've been wanting to ask you about all the Pokemon that you've caught. There is hardly enough space for them all in my lab."
"Professor Birch, nice to see you too,"I replied. "It's been too long. As for the Pokemon, that won't be a problem anymore." I showed him my Aura Crystal
"Is that… Is that what I think it is?" exclaimed the excited Professor.
"It is. I found it in the forest when I was training. It can hold all of my Pokemon inside, and it has habitats for each type. All I need to do is put a Pokeball on the crystal, and the Pokemon will be transferred inside."
"Well anyways," said the Prof. "Come down to my lab ASAP. We need to get Ember her Pokedex, Pokeballs, Ribbon Case and Trainer's License. I'll see you both there"
The Prof. ran back to the lab.
5 hours later:
At the Prof's Lab.
3rd Person P.O.V
Ember and Will both ran back to the lab. When they reached, Will's mother hugged him and wished him luck on his journeys, knowing that he could look after himself, and his new travelling companion
Chapter 3: Meeting Will's Pokemon
Italic = Telepathy- In this chapter and in future chapters, Telepathy will be only for the Eon Duo, and Psychic Pokemon. What has occurred in telepathic conversations has not been heard by anyone except Will.
Ember's P.O.V
Will and I finally arrived at the lab. I was so excited to collect my pokemon, who was going to be taken taken by the Prof. for some last minute checks, as well as my Ribbon Case and Pokedex. As we walked down the lab I felt kind of nervous. I really liked all the pokemon and I didn't know which one I really wanted. We walked in to see complex machinery and Pokemon of all sorts running around. There were about 10 Pokemon in the lab, and when they saw Will, they all tackled(no pun intended) him in a hug.
It was a heartwarming scene until a Donphan tried to hug him. Scared for his life, and not wanting to be impaled by a tusk, Will ran in circles around the lab screaming bloody murder.
The Pokemon in the lab were his and other trainers' who had started their journey a year or two ago. He talked to the Shroomish,Pupitar and Lucario.
"Hey guys, are you ready to come on a journey with me?" he asked.
All the Pokemon nodded, but before they could be captured, a random Munchlax tried to eat all the Pokeballs that the Prof. was holding out. Thankfully, the Professor had forgot that Will had an aura crystal, so there was no harm done.
All the Pokemon were summoned into the crystal, because they were willing to be captured.
Professor Birch grinned.
"Ready for your new Pokemon?" He asked me with delight.
"Uh..I really like all the Hoenn starters and I can't decide!"
"Well then, I believe I have a solution to that quandary. Why don't you take all of them along with you. There aren't any more trainers this year, so I have time to go out and capture more starters." This was said at lightning speed by an ecstatic Prof. Birch.
I agreed happily, but then noticed something. A whimper came from the corner of the room. I turned around and saw a little Eevee whimpering in the corner. It looked at me and slowly walked towards me. I turned around
"Professor, what about this one?" I asked
"Oh. We found this Eevee hurt at Slateport city. Her trainer abandoned her and it's afraid of all human company. It seems to like you. This Eevee is actually really special, as it has a Hidden Ability called Anticipation. You can use your Dex to check it out. Also, what's even more curious is that this Eevee has even more unstable genetics in it's DNA, and this allows it to change form into any of it's evolutions at will. This would be a great asset for a starter Trainer like you!"
Blue light flashed in my eyes. I saw Eevee being attacked with hyper beam. A mystical Pokemon that I had never seen before jumped out of Will's crystal, and countered the Hyper Beam with a blinding attack. I was in awe of the sheer power that Pokemon seemed to possess. It was hovering in midair, a hue of red and white, with extremely beautiful amber eyes.
Will jumped.
"Latias, what are you doing? You can't reveal yourself to anyone. I told you not to. No matter what the circumstances." he said, hyperventilating.
The Pokemon did a circle or two in midair, then went back inside the crystal with a flash, before I could thank her.
Will, this girl is different. She has so much potential, and it seems she has control over Aura. We cannot allow her Pokemon to be injured. That Eevee has suffered much abuse in it's life with it's previous owner. I could not stand by and watch. Latios was sleeping when I came out, otherwise I'm sure he would have come too.
Will instantly looked at me. It was like he knew something I didn't.
I blinked.
"I choose Eevee," I said.
Professor Birch smiled.
"It seems like you too were meant to be. Torchic, Treecko and Mudkip are here and here is your Pokedex and the rest of your pokeballs. Oh yeah, Eevee is not comfortable being in pokeballs so she prefers to walk around.." Professor added.
"Thanks professor! I promise to keep in touch!" I said. I picked Eevee up and she used shadow ball on me, knocking me to the ground.
"Hey! I thought you liked me!" I said getting up.
Eevee sniffed and walked out. As much as she did, she was snooty.
I stared. Eevee stared back. Professor gave a nervous laugh
"Eevee here has got quite an attitude. Maybe travelling will bring you together."
Then I remembered.
"Did May come in recently?" I asked
"Oh! Yes, she did! She choose a Torchic. Currently she is travelling with Max, a boy named Ash and Brock, the pewter city gym leader. They should be in Rustboro by now"
"Cool! Maybe we can catch up to them.." I said.
"Oh! Thats right, you lived in Petalburg."
"Yup"
Will cleared his throat
"It's obvious that we should get to Petalburg as soon as possible. There should be a Contest there today actually. I don't think we can make it by foot, and we both don't have bikes."
He said,"I guess, since you're travelling with me, I can let you in on one of my secrets. I have been training Pokemon since I was 8, and Metang and Gabite aren't my only Pokemon. I'd like you to meet another special friend of mine. Go! Gallade!"
Gallade appeared from the crystal in a flash of blue. It was a majestic Pokemon with two bladelike hands. It looked every bit like the knights from the mythology I had read when I was just a little kid!
"Gallade, could you please Teleport us to Petalburg quickly please?"
Of course Master, I will do as you command
We arrived at Petalburg just a second later. I was in awe of Will's abilities. I wondered whether I could ever be as strong as him.
As if reading my mind, he reassured me by saying
" Don't worry. I have had two whole years to hone my skills, and so I have a lot more experience. I'm sure you will be a great Coordinator, once you start training your Pokemon.
"Finally, we're here!" I exclaimed, and immediately ran into the Contest Lobby, so I could register myself for the Grand Festival on Ever Grande City, which was about 9 months away, along with the Contest in Petalburg today. Will decided to go to the Pokemon Center and see if my friends were there, like Prof. Birch had said they were. I followed suit, as soon as he was done with registering.
"Hello, my name is Will. It's nice to meet you," I told Ash, May, Max and Brock.
"Hi! Are you a Pokemon trainer too?" Ash asked.
"If you are referring to being in the Pokemon League, then yes you are correct."
"Cool! I wanna battle you now!" Ash said
"Hey! I need to go train! I have a contest in half an hour. I already thought through my routine..
.MAX! Is that you?" I said
"Hi Ember!"Max exclaimed. May came up behind him.
"MAY!"
"EMBER"
The two friends yelled in unison so it sounded like
"MEMBER!"
People all around the center glared at the two kids.
After 5 minutes straight of conversation the two agreed on battling. Will would be the referee and to make it more like a contest battle, Brock, Ash and Max would judge. They went to the battlefield outside the Pokemon Center and began.
"This match will be a two on two Pokemon Contest Battle. The battle ends when both Pokemon of either trainer are unable to battle. Begin!
"Come out Treecko!" I said.
May hesitated.
"Torchic, help me out!" May called.
I know she had an advantage but I wanted to get to know my Treecko and to find it's battling style and personality.
"Treecko, use agility!" I yelled.
My pokemon quickly slammed into Torchic.
"Torchic Ember!"
"Treecko, dodge and finish with a Quick Pound!"
White sparks surrounded Treecko, and he slammed into Torchic at the speed of a Quick Attack, with it's tail, signalling that it had used Pound as well.
Torchic fell to the ground with circles in it's eyes.
"Torchic is unable to battle," said Will and Brock in unison
"What move was that?" asked Ash
" It was Quick Pound, one of the Contest Combinations I've been working on for the Contest in Petalburg." replied Ember.
" THERE'S A CONTEST IN PETALBURG!" screamed May.
"Yeah, didn't you know?" asked Ember.
"Ohh...yeah wait I totally forgot about it" said May.
Everyone except Will and Ember facepalmed.
"Anyways, we were wondering whether we could join you in your travels May," Ember said
" Sure, of course." was the reply.
"Alright, this is cool and all, but I wanna have a battle with Will!" shouted Ash.
"Oh well, if you insist. I could use some practise before challenging Roxanne," replied Will coolly.
Again, Brock was the referee.
"What do you say to a 3 on 3 battle?" asked Will
"Sure! Me and Pikachu are gonna win this!" replied Ash, a tad overconfidently.
"This will be a 3 on 3 Pokemon Battle between Will and Ash. The battle ends when all 3 Pokemon from either side are unable to battle!" stated Brock.
"Alright, Pikachu, you're up" shouted Ash
" Show them your power Shroomish!"
The mushroom-like Pokemon emerged from Will's crystal.
"Cool, I wonder what that Pokemon is!" wondered Ash. He checked his Pokedex.
Shroomish live in damp soil in the dark depths of forests. They are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. This Pokémon feeds on compost that is made up of fallen, rotted leaves. If Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters spores from the top of its head. This Pokémon's spores are so toxic, they make trees and weeds wilt.
"So… Shroomish huh?" Ash said out loud.
"Doesn't matter, Me and Pikachu are gonna beat it!"
3rd Person P.O.V
"Can we start the battle now?"
" Alright! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"
"Dodge and activate Quick Feet."
"What's Quick Feet? It doesn't matter anyways. Pikachu, try Quick Attack!"
"Wait for it… Wait for it… NOW! Use Absorb!" Will told Shroomish
He had timed it perfectly. Pikachu was hit.
"Now, finish it with Headbutt!"
Shroomish rammed it's head into Pikachu, who immediately fainted.
"Pikachu was taken out in two hits!" May said in a tone of disbelief.
It shouldn't have been possible.
It couldn't have been possible
But it happened
"That's only a fraction of what he can really do," stated Ember, remembering how her family Torkoal, who had gone on a journey with her father had been so easily beaten by his Gabite.
"Pikachu, you did great buddy. Now take a good rest."
"Alright. Treecko! Go !"
The grass type was sent out, but looked smaller than the one Ember owned.
"Good job Shroomish. Let's wrap this up. Use Stun Spore, then Headbutt."
Both attacks hit Treecko head on. The Stun Spore had no effect, but it confused both Trainer and Pokemon, as neither could see through the orange mist. The Headbutt rammed into Treecko, and again, and again. Treecko, inevitably, fainted.
"Grrr… I can't win like this. Go! Tailow!" shouted Ash
"Tailow! use Gust!" The attack connected. Shroomish was hurt. It staggered
"Now's our chance! Use Wing Attack!"
Tailow spread it's wings and took off, hurtling straight towards Shroomish. The attack hit.
Shroomish stumbled.
It nearly fell over, but managed to stay up. It started glowing. An Everstone fell off Shroomish
"Finally, I knew you were close to evolving." Will said in a somewhat thrilled tone. He picked up the Everstone
"Breloom!" The pokemon said
"What! Shroomish evolved into Breloom?"
" Ash, Breloom is part Fighting Type. Try using Tailow's Flying Type attacks" Brock advised.
"Sadly, that won't work. Me and Shroomish have prepared for when he evolved." Will said coldly.
"It doesn't matter, Tailow can win!" Ash replied
"Tailow, use Wing Attack!"
"Take the attack, Breloom."
"Why is he letting Tailow hit it?" asked Max.
Tailow collided with Breloom. Breloom looked on the verge of fainting.
"Now! Use Counter!"
Breloom used it's last burst of energy to deliver an attack that dealt double the damage that Tailow did to it.
Tailow fainted.
Breloom fell, but managed to get up with much exertion.
"Good job Breloom. Return."
Breloom returned in a flash of blue to the crystal.
"All three Pokemon of Ash are unable to battle. Will wins!"
"Thanks Will, that was a good battle. Clearly me and my Pokemon need to train more," Ash told him.
"Clearly," was Will's reply.
They all went back to the Pokemon Center,and healed their Pokemon. Will declined to do so. When asked for an explanation, he told them about his Aura Crystal and it's powers, one of them being instantly healing all of his Pokemon.
" I was thinking about challenging the Petalburg Gym guys!" said Ash confidently.
"So was I. We can do so after Ember's contest," replied Will.
CONTEST HALL ½ AN HOUR LATER.
EMBER P.O.V
I am really nervous. What if I don't make it? I have been training with Will for a week now, but I'm still getting cold feet. I can see all my friends in the stands cheering for me. It means so much to me that they are all here. I can't let them down now.
It's time for the qualifying rounds. My name is announced. The stage is set. The judges are ready. It's time to roll.
I throw out two Pokeballs, for Mudkip and Torchic.
"Mudkip, Torchic,[Insert Battle Phrase]!"
Both my trusty Pokemon appeared on the field, glowing with their respective auras. I hear the audience gasping. I trained them on how to automatically activate Blaze and Torrent. Another reason to thank my training.
"Torchic use Ember, and Mudkip, follow up with Water Gun!"
The attacks collide with a flash, and they circle one another, with the beauty of two contrasting types dancing with one another in a flurry of water and fire, with them intertwining and exploding, and the whole stadium filling with sparkles.
I hold my breath as I hear what the judges have to say.
Mr Contesta: An astounding work of art between two contrasting types!
Mr Sukizo: Remarkable! Simply remarkable(LOL! He ALWAYS SAYS THAT)
Nurse Joy: An amazing performance showcasing the bond between trainer and Pokemon.
I wait patiently in the room for the results. The adrenaline is high in my body. FINALLY I SEE THE BOARD. Yes! I made it to the Second Round!
I fight my way through all my opponents with ease.
And I reach the finals. May does too and so do a bunch of other trainers including the guy from the beach, Drew. I couldn't wait to battle him!
I stepped out. First round was against a guy named Joe with his Surskit. I crushed him easily.
Finally, it reached the final two contestants.
It was me against Drew. May had lost against Drew in the Semifinals.
"Go! Roselia!"
"I know it's a long shot, but Eevee! Go!"
Eevee appeared in front of me. I hope my training paid off.
" Evolve! Now!"
There were many murmurs in the crowd. Strangely enough, Eevee started to glow with a white light. In Eevee's place now stood the cutest Espeon ever!
"Let's go Espeon! Use Psychic!"
It was a direct hit. Roselia immediately fainted.
The crowd clapped and cheered for me
I was presented the Petalburg Ribbon by Mr Contesta.
"How did you beat me so easily?" asked a tearful Drew.
"My Eevee can alternate between it's evolutions at will; I just realised that Espeon's moveset would be super effective against your Roselia," I replied politely, not wanting to tell him how bad he was at Contests.
"EMBER! You did so well!" May exclaimed
I thanked her and we waited for the others. Max, Brock and Ash both congratulated me earnestly. Will just stood there, watching bemusedly.
"You did well; your training has definitely paid off…" was his response.
Typical Will. Always calm and collected, no matter what.
3rd Person P.O.V
The Gang, which now included Ember and Will now set off to Rustboro. Ash kept nagging Will for another battle, but Will pointedly refused. When they reached Petalburg Woods, they decided to camp there for the night. At exactly midnight, one person left their tent. Ash suddenly awoke in the night and found Will missing. He went outside, and he could hear faint noises coming from the forest. He crept there and he was in awe at what he saw.
It was Will. Training his Pokemon.
He could see them . 8 in total .A shark like monster taller than Ash, Breloom ; the Pokemon he had battled the other day, A TYRANITAR which he was, quite frankly, scared of. There was also a reddish-orange bird flying about, along with Will's 'starter',Metagross. A Spherical-like Pokemon with two short stubby legs was also training. Alongside Will was a Blue and Black Pokemon holding some kind of blue energy. Finally, Ash could also see a Green Pokemon with two blade-like hands.
"Ah, so it's you Ash," said Will.
Ash did not know how he could have been seen under the bush, but he came out anyways.
"Meet my Pokemon," said Will.
"In case you're wondering, I'll tell you their names. My Pokemon are as follows: Garchomp,(He just evolved from the Gabite Ember was telling you about, along with Metang and Pupitar) Metagross, Tyranitar, Shelgon, Breloom, Fletchinder, Gallade and Lucario.
Ash wanted to battle them all.
"Can I have a battle now?" he pleaded.
"ANOTHER one? Fine…if you want to get taken down again, then by all means," Will replied. "Alright, let's do this."
"Fletchinder, you're up."
"Pikachu, let's go buddy!"
" Use flame charge"
"Quick Attack, now!"
" Take evasive action, but hold the Flame Charge."
Said fire attack collided with Pikachu. It did some damage.
"Now, use Agility and Double Team together"
Fletchinder ran circles around Pikachu.
"Pikachu's faster than that! Use Quick Attack again!"
"You still haven't changed your strategy… Pitiful."
"Hey!"
" Let's end this. Fletchinder, use Aerial Ace. Power it up with Gale Wings."
It hit, immediately knocking out Pikachu, without even going at full power.
"Wait what?! What's Gale Wings?
"An ability that gives Flying Types priority. When Fletchinder evolves, this ability will be even more useful, particularly with one move."
" It doesn't matter. We're gonna win!" was Ash's confident response.
"Shall we continue?"
"Yeah! We'll battle in the air! Tailow! I choose you!"
A small bird came out of the Pokeball.
"Alright Tailow! In the Air! Use Wing Attack on Fletchinder, now!"
"Aerial Ace, full power!"
The attack, as usual, hit Tailow dead on and Tailow immediately fainted.
"That's enough. Stop hurting your Pokemon further. This is pointless," Will said coldly.
They both went back to their respective tents and slept.
The next morning, the whole gang woke up.
"Ember, I think we have overstayed our welcome here. I think we should leave," told Will.
Ember's P.O.V
It was time to leave. I knew I needed some serious training, and this isn't May's fault, but I think she is slowing me down. We say our goodbyes and then venture on further into the forest, but not before promising to meet up with them at Fortree.
"Gallade, use Teleport."
We arrived at Rustboro with a flash.
"Finally. Rustboro city. Now, Ember, let me give you a brief summary of the area. If you go straight and take a right, you will reach the route near Rusturf Tunnel. If you choose to go there, you can capture higher-leveled Wurmple, Skitty(which are popular in contests) and Nincada. Now, I would suggest getting all three, but Nincada in particular, as they evolve into Shedinja and Ninjask, both of which are very useful in their own right," Will told me.
" In the mean time, I'm going to the Gym here. I want to beat Roxanne as fast as possible."
Rustboro Gym- 5 minutes later.
Will's P.O.V
I have sucessfully beaten all the Gym trainers with ease. Is this really the standard of the Hoenn Gyms?
""Hello, I am Roxanne, the Rustboro Pokemon Gym Leader. I became a Gym Leader so that I may apply what I learned at the Pokemon Trainer School in battle. Would you kindly demonstrate how you battle, and with which Pokemon?"
Finally. The Leader.
"My name is Will, and I hope that you can give me a satisfactory battle. But, before that, I'd like to make a wager with you. If I win, I have access to Granite Cave's restricted areas. I want a Nosepass as well. If I lose, well I won't be allowed a rematch with you, ever. And that means I won't be able to compete in the League."
"Agreed, trainer," was her reply.
And so it began.
I chose a pokemon. Tyranitar would be helping me defeat this gym today. With a smile, I sent him out, just as Roxanne was sending out… Geodude. I almost laughed. Almost.
"Tyranitar, use Earthquake."
"Geodude, use Defence Curl."
The geodude seemed to be curling itself up. Even with the defence stat rise, Earthquake quickly demolished it's health.
I proceeded to do the same to the rest of her team.
Pathetic.
"I don't believe it... Well, as promised, you may have the Stone Badge, and permission to access Granite Cave's Lower Chambers. From me is the TM Rock Tomb. Use it wisely.
Rock Tomb. This could be useful for Breloom.
I nod and stowed the TM away in my bag.
I exit said Gym.
3rd Person P.O.V.
A Braviary flew over Rustboro city. There was a boy riding it, and looking down at the ground, slipping on an aviators helmet and pointing towards the gym, shouting an order. The eagle responded, diving down at full speed. The wind whipped at the boy's cloak, and it billowed out behind him like a cape. His scarf was wrapped tightly around his neck, and it flew out behind him. He reached out a hand to catch it, and wrapped it again around his neck.
He landed in front of the Rustboro gym, and heard sounds of battle from inside. The Braviary gracefully hopped to a stop, allowing the rider to get off. He patted the Braviary on the head, and returned it to it's pokeball. It was too big to walk alongside him in the bustling Rustboro, but it would soon be back out of the pokeball when back in Dewford.
The boy decided to wait: he could, as he had plenty of time. Meanwhile, he would beat a few trainers and find lunch. There was no shortage of overconfident easy fodder on the route that leads to Rustboro, and soon he had some pokédollars to buy himself a nice, steaming meal of noodles, which he at outside the gym.
His name was Vern. He had came to visit Roxanne, having beaten the gym leader about a month ago. He lived by himself in a secret base in Dewford, and events at home in Fortree has kept him from defeating Brawly. He had decided to revisit Rustboro and rebattle Roxanne, as the match last time was fun, very much so. They had befriended each other, and Roxanne had invited him back for a rematch.
He looked through the transparent glass door. Inside there was a trainer obviously with great experience, and he looked powerful. Vern mused that the trainer might be able to defeat him in battle, but that was soon to be found out whether that was the case. He would ask for a battle later.
He settled down, and waited for the battle's results. it was a bright and sunny day, and he had decided to enjoy it. He ate his lunch, and sat down on a bench.
After a while, he got back up and looked back through the glass door. The trainer was putting a badge into his case. Vern saw him turn and walk away, with his Tyranitar behind him.
Suddenly, he stopped and seemed to be giving an order. After a blue flash of light, he disappeared.
Vern tossed up a pokeball, and a Braviary came out. Giving an order, he rose up into the sky and flew towards Dewford.
Will's P.O.V
I sensed someone outside, watching me intently, but I ignored it. I already have enough fans.
I used the Psychic power of teleportation that I had perfected with Gallade, and teleported to the Route East of Rustboro, where I found Ember catching a Skitty.
"Hello Ember," I said politely.
"Hi Will! I've already caught a Wurmple and evolved it into Beautifly! I'm catching a Skitty right now!"
Interesting. She has already evolved her Wurmple. In only 10 minutes. I evolved mine in 8. Not bad for a new trainer.
While she was saying all this, she threw her Pokeball, and captured Skitty.
"Good, now we can proceed. However we need to stay one more minute."
I closed my eyes and felt the presences of the Pokemon around me in the tall grass. I sensed a Nincada directly to my left.
Garchomp, use False Swipe directly to my left. Garchomp came out of my crystal, and proceeded to follow my orders. Nincada jumped out, but you could see it was close to fainting. Perfect.
"Command Theta!" I intoned in a clear voice
The crystal flashed purple, red, then blue, and the Pokemon went inside the crystal. My Crystal started to shake. Once, Twice, Thrice, and it stopped. Nincada was caught. In precisely a minute. Better than last time I caught a Pokemon.
"Whoa! That was some great catching Will!" exclaimed Ember.
"Shall we leave now?" I asked her.
"Sure," was her reply.
My eyes flashed blue, and with a flash, we were gone.
"We've reached," I said.
"Welcome to Dewford Town," I told Ember.
