AN: Alright, this story is following me and my friends as we play the new games HeartGold & SoulSilver. And I thought it would be fun to put in our thoughts as we're playing, along with a little more detail of course! Alright, so I Hope you enojoy it as much as I am Writing it! haha.
Lilly sat up late in her room watching her TV, they were showing off the new Pokéathalon stadium near Goldenrod city. Lilly's mom knocked at the door and Lilly's eyes shot open as she hopped under the covers
"Lilly! You're supposed to be in bed! It's almost 1 am and Professor Elm wanted you to visit him early in the morning!" she exclaimed half heartedly, she knew that her daughter had a mild case of Insomnia and there everything would be okay in the morning.
"Sorry Mom, I'll go to bed right now" she flashed a smile and her mom nodded as she tucked her in and brushed her ebony hair out of her yellow eyes
"You remind me so much of your father" she smiled as she got up and left the room, Lilly smiled at this and went to sleep.
She woke early the next morning and ran around her room throwing on her purple long sleeve with a pokéball on the front, slid into her jeans, threw on her sneakers and grabbed her saddlebag from her mom's hands as she ran out the door
"I packed you some sandwiches too!" Her mom called after her in vain, she just smiled to herself, Lilly had been dying for some action since they moved here.
As Lilly ran up the sidewalk to Professor Elm's laboratory she pulled out a Pokégear, it was just cleaned and looked brand new, her mom had snuck it into her bag
"OH COO-" she was cut short as she ran smack into the back of another girl who was walking in front of her, this short brunette flew forward and face first into the ground
"OW" exclaimed the girl as she turned over onto her back and rubbed her forehead
"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there!" she grabbed the girls hand and helped her to her feet then threw her lavender scarf around her neck as the girl smiled and shook her head
"Oh hey Lilly, I didn't know you were going to Elm's too!" she exclaimed, It was Katherine.
Lilly and Katherine trudged up the small hill to the laboratory and were greeted by a tall, balding, spectacled man who seemed to be overflowing with energy because he was jumping up and down awaiting their arrival.
"Ha-ha, hi professor Elm!" Lilly had met him when she moved to Johto from Kanto, Katherine just smiled
"Lilly, Kat! Come inside!" he laughed as he half walked, half skipped into the laboratory and over to a large machine that the girls had recognized from inside of a Pokémon Center.
"Girls, it's time for you to have your own adventure!" he started with, both of the girl's eyes shot open
"You mean….we get our own Pokémon?!" Lilly exclaimed with excitement, she looked as if she would die right there. Kat also had the usual wide smile that looked as if she was stricken crazy for a moment.
"Here I have three pokéballs, you each may choose one of them…howev-" the professor was cut short by another child marching into the room, this girl seemed to have a little bit of an arrogance about her. Her hair was also shoulder length and black, but her eyes seemed to be the color of dirt and she wore an outfit that resembled the Pokémon Champion, Red.
"OH, I completely forgot that I had invited you Olive" the professor seemed to have retreated a little into his shell from the pompous look on the girls face
"Well now, back to what I was saying. I have three Pokémon here and I want to give one of them to each of you, they are as follows: the Water Pokémon, Totodile. The Fire Pokémon, Cyndaquil or the Grass Pokémon, Chikorita." as he spoke he threw each of the pokéballs in front of the girls, the first revealed a knee high blue crocodile Pokémon that was dancing about giggling and laughing. Next was the fire Pokémon, it was smaller than the Totodile and had a long nose with a blue back and a white underbelly, but there was a small fire going on it's back as well. The Grass Pokémon appeared it was a four legged light green Pokémon with small leafy pearls around it's neck and a large leaf protruding from it's head, it was a Chikorita.
"I'll take the fire Pokémon." Olive stated as she held out her hand for the pokéball belonging to the Cyndaquil, the professor returned them all to their rightful balls and handed it to her and she turned on the ball of her foot and headed for the door
"Wait…Who said you could just pick first and walk out the door. Don't you even want to know what the professor has planned for us?!" Lilly spat after her, Olive turned around and has a nasty look on her face
"I already got the Pokédex from him earlier and Fire is my favorite type…are there any other qualities you would like to know about, Prissy?"
"Yea, how about the sour attitude? Did someone pee In your cereal this morning?" she smirked back as she snatched a pokéball from the professor
"Do you want to battle this out?!" Olive screamed as she bulled the pokéball back out of her bag
"as a matter of fact I do!" Lilly shouted as she lifted the pokéball in her hand and she realized she didn't know which Pokémon she had just chosen.
"Go Vortex!" Olive shouted as she threw her pokéball and the Cyndaquil reappeared, ready for battle.
"MY TURN!" Lilly shouted as she threw the pokéball and the little green Pokémon appeared
"Chika!" cried the Chikorita as it stomped it's foot and swung it's leaf around in a circle
"You chose the LEAF Pokémon…against my Fire Pokémon? Don't you know anything?!" Olive shouted as she pointed at Lilly's Chikorita
"Type has nothing to do with it, it's all about Heart, Soul and Skill!" Lilly shouted as she smirked
"Chikorita, Tackle!" Chikorita dashed forward lowering her head for impact, landing a nice hit against Cyndaquil's nose sending it into a back flip
"Cyndaquil hold your ground and Ember, show her that Grass never trumps Fire!" Olive smiled as the little Pokémon landed on it's hind legs then propelled itself forward but Lilly was ready
"Chikorita, jump up and Vine whip" Chikorita jumped out of the way of the small blaze that flew beneath him, he could feel the warmth from it as it extinguished a few feet away. Vines erupted from the seeds in Chikorita's neck and wrapped around Cyndaquil squeezing him tightly
"Now, smack him around and toss him sky high!" She cheered as Chikorita did just that, he slammed the little fire Pokémon on the ground so that it couldn't draw in any air to create fire in it's body, then he threw Cyndaquil into the side of the laboratory.
"Cyndaquil! Return!" Olive grumbled as her prized fire Pokémon returned to the ball
"This isn't over…Flower girl…" Olive spat and stormed from the place.
"Well that went well…" Elm smiled at Lilly, Lilly nodded back as Katherine took the Totodile ball from the professor
"Well looks like you and I are gunna be best buddies…" she smiled as she spoke to the ball then placed it in her bag.
"Now, for the reason I called you here. Professor Oak just stopped by asking me about prospective young trainers that he could trust with a pokedex, he wants to get some more information about the Pokémon here in Johto and I thought the three of you could help. It seems that Olive caught Oak on his way to visit an acquaintance of ours, Mr. Pokémon." he smiled at the girls
"Now I would like for you girls to help Professor Oak, Here is my phone number. Go west of here to Cherrygrove city and then head north and you should find Mr. Pokémon's house. Call me if anything comes up…" he nodded as he inputted his number into both of their Pokégears
"Now go! Have an adventure!" Elm exclaimed throwing his hands into the air and dancing about a bit as the girls headed for the door.
"Is it just me or does he seem a little off his rocker?" Lilly asked as they exited and headed down the hill, both of them giggling away.
They both stopped by their homes to let their parents know where they were going and then met up at the entrance to Route 29 towards Cherrygrove
"Ready to do this?" Katherine asked as she fixed her backpack on her back, now full of food and a few items that her parents thought that she would be able to use on the trip, Lilly stared at the route ahead of them and a broad smile appeared across her face
"Are you kidding me, I've been waiting for this for a long time" she caressed the Pokéball containing her new Chikorita which she had nicknamed, Chico and they both headed towards Cherrygrove, seeing raccoon type Pokémon called Sentret running in packs through the trees and little pigeon Pokémon called Pidgeys pecking at the grass beneath them, their adventure had finally begun.
"Lilly, hurry up…I want to get to Mr. Pokemon's house by dark!" Katherine called out behind her as Chico tackled and knocked out the fifth Sentret of the day
"Sorry Kat…I can't help it, I just want to train so much…don't you Chico?" she asked as she looked down at her Chikorita following close behind, the Pokémon nodded with a quick "Chika!".
"Well Cherrygrove city is right through here" Kat said as they walked though the last group of trees and they stood just outside the fencing of Cherrygrove city, there was an older man standing next to the entrance with a sand full of pamphlets that had information about Pokécenters and Pokémarts and Pokémon gyms and anything else you could imagine.
The girls walked through the entrance and the man jumped up and in front of them
"Hey, you look like new trainers how's about a tour?!" cried the tour guide, he looked a little desperate
"Uhm…sure why not?" Lilly replied a little confused and the man sped off towards the Pokémart a few yards away
"Come on girls, keep up!" he cried as he stood waiting for them, they walked over and he pointed at the Pokémart which was painted a vibrant blue color
"this is a Pokémart where you can buy Pokéballs and Potions and many other items that will help you and your Pokémon on your journey!" the tour guide's tone perked up at the end and he sped off to his next destination which was the Pokécenter another couple yard away
"Come girls don't dawdle!" he yelled as they approached.
"This is a Pokémon Center where you can heal your Pokémon and rest, there is one in every city in alllll of Pokédome!" the tour guide once again sped off into the distance, stopping in front of another entrance to Cherrygrove City.
"Here Girls, this is Route 30 towards Violet town. On this route you will find Mr. Pokémon's house…he's a really nice guy and I hear that Professor Oak from Kanto is visiting him……" The tour guide trailed off again but the girls watched him vanish down to the beach and took their chance to run through the entrance to Route 30 and towards Mr. Pokémon's.
They walked up the route for twenty minutes before Lilly shouted at herself
"SHOOT! We forgot to get Pokéballs…How are we going to catch any Pokémon without Pokéballs?!" Lilly exclaimed as she noticed a very plump Rattata poke it's head out from behind a bush to see what the yelling was about before returning to what it was doing and running off.
"Well, we can get some in Violet city right?" Kat asked as she smiled at Lilly and shrugged, Lilly then stormed North towards Mr. Pokémon's house when a young boy jumped out of the bushes
"HEY YOU! Do you have Pokémon?" he exclaimed as he pointed at Lilly, she glared at him before pulling stepping aside to reveal Chico who had been following her the whole time
"What does he look like to you, a grapefruit?" Lilly laughed as the little boy started to blush and pulled a pokéball out of his bag
"My name's Joey, Let's Battle!" he exclaimed as he threw his pokéball to reveal a very thin purple rat Pokémon known as Rattata.
"Well I choose Chico, go get him!" she retorted as Chico shot forward and swung his leaf around in a circle to look menacing
"Rattata, use quick attack!" Joey called out, his little rat Pokémon dashed forward at lightning speeds and tackled Chico, who fell to the ground and rolled away a little distance. Chico stood back up and glared at Rattata
"Chico, use vine whip and smash it against that rock!" she smiled as she pointed to a large boulder off to the side of the clearing. Vine's reached out form Chico's neck and gripped around Rattata's body and then launched him against the boulder, Rattata hit the rock and toppled to the ground unconscious
"Oh no! Rattata return!" Joey squeaked as Rattata returned to it's ball
"Nice battle" Lilly smiled as she too returned Chico to his ball for the first time today
"Yea! We should battle again sometime! Hey, let's trade numbers so I can call you for a rematch!" Joey suggested as he held out his Pokégear for Lilly to input her phone number with his hand shaking nervously
"Oh…sure" Lilly said as they shakily traded numbers and as soon as they finished Joey once again disappeared into the underbrush
"What an odd boy…" Kat giggled, Lilly agreed and they set out once more.
They slid through the next group of trees and found themselves in a large clearing with a cabin, it was starting to get dark outside and they could hear voices in the cabin
"This must be it, Who else would live out here but a Pokémaniac…haha" Kat laughed as they knocked on the door and a voice came
"Who is it?"
"Uhm, it's Katherine and Lilly from New Bark town. We're looking for Mr. Pokémon?" Lilly replied through the door but as soon as she finished the door swung open and a older looking gentleman was standing in front of them, he was wearing a lab coat like Professor Elm wore but this man had a full head of grey hair, thick lines across his face and he looked a lot older.
"Hello girls, I'm Professor Oak. We've been expecting you, come in!" he smiled as he swung his hand inside showing them the way.
They walked into the warm house from the cold when Lilly's pokégear started ringing
"Well that's rude…" Kat joked as she sat down at the table with another elderly, bearded gentleman as Lilly picked up the phone and heard Joey's voice
"Hey Lilly! How's it going? I just wanted to…uhh…call and say that my Rattata's getting stronger, I hope everything's going okay for you…I'll talk to you later then maybe? Bye!" she didn't get a chance to respond before Joey hung up and she just smiled over at Oak and Mr. Pokémon as she slid her Pokégear back into her pocket and sat down at the table with them, she would call him later.
"Well, I'm sure that elm has already told you two what I wanted to ask of you…will you take these Pokédexes and record some extra data on the Pokémon here in the Johto region for me?" Oak asked as he stared from Kat to Lilly, they both nodded in agreement as they took the Pokédexes
"wow, a real live Pokédex! I heard that Red and Blue had one too!" Lilly exclaimed as she opened up the device and started fidgeting with the features.
"Yes, I gave Red and my Grandson Blue one when they were kids just like you two. Maybe one of you will become the next Pokémon League Champion and defeat Red. Even though he hasn't been seen in a long time"
Oak looked down sadly but then he shook it off and smiled at them both once again as Mr. Pokémon cut in
"I also have a request of one of you, I have a Pokémon Egg here that I would like one of you to take care of for me…would that be possible?" he smiled as he placed an egg on the table, it looked like a nice sized grey oval rock
"Sure, I'll take it for you!" Lilly smiled as she pulled open her bag and lay the egg inside on top of the soft sandwiches that her mom had packed.
"I'm not exactly sure what kind of Pokémon is inside of it, but my old friend at the daycare center has eggs galore, so he gave me one and I just haven't found the time to care for it" Mr. Pokémon smiled at her bag lovingly and then turned to the girls
"So will you be staying the night here?" Mr. Pokémon asked them as he stood up and looked over at Professor Oak
"I'm sorry but I cannot, I have to get back to Goldenrod for my Radio show with Mary. Good night and good luck to you both!" Oak smiled as he got up and strolled outside
"We would love to stay Mr. Pokémon, Thank you!" Kat smiled and Lilly nodded her head in thanks as well.
They both woke early the next morning and Mr. Pokémon walked them out
"Alright you two, just head North through this forest here until you get to the Dark cave, then head West and you'll find Violet City, you can't miss it!" He smiled at them and walked back into his house as the girls trod Northbound like he said, following his directions and heading west from the Dark Cave and before the girls knew it they were standing at the entrance to Violet City.
"Hey look, the Pokécenter is right over there, Let's go heal our Pokémon and then we'll hit the Pokémart!" Lilly exclaimed as they both made a beeline for the Pokécenter when they heard someone call out
"Lillian! Katherine!" from the distance.
