Chapter One: Maniac
BREE BREE BREE FWEE THAWCK!! sizz...
Damn clock...You thought as you chucked your alarm clock at the wall. It shall pay for wrecking my sleep! You, Diamond Suzuhara, got up unwillingly as the ghostly Swabu floated through the door, prepaired to annoy you to no end untill you got up. Sometimes you wished that the ghostly Swabu that haunted the house wasn't so damn helpful, and that he wasn't a ghost. You wished he wasn't a ghost mainly because when he started to piss you off, when you tried to hit him or throw something at him, it went right on through, which severly pissed you off even more.
You walked over to your chair to see what outfit your mom had decided to make you wear on this memorable day and your eye involentarly twitch when you saw it. There were two things wrong with it: It was pink, and it had a skirt. And now was one of the few times times you wished you were a boy. Your eye twitched one last time before you started to put the hideous outfit on. After you finished putting on the outfit, you heard a pounding on your window, and looked out to see Pearl yet again outside your window. You sweatdropped and opened the window.
"Pearl, one of these days that gutter you keep climbing up is going to break while your on it." You said, irritated.
"Good! If I die, I wont have to put up with Crystal's angsting. One person angsting is enough." He said as he climbed through the window. Pearl noticed Swabu on top of the hat rack and waved at the ghost, which greeted him by floating over and started pecking his head. "Gah! What the hell is wrong with this bird, ghost, thingermajig! Why does he always peck me? And how can he peck me if it's a ghost?" Pearl said, waving his arms around his head to get the ghostly Swabu to stop pecking his head. You shrugged.
"I dunno. Ask the birdie." You said, watching the scene in mild amusement. Every morning was pretty much the same: Pearl climbing up the gutter to your window, you letting him in, him waving at Swabu, and Swabu deciding that his head you make a good place to practice his ghost peck. How it could peck if it was a ghost, anyways? You pondered that for a moment before you heard a knock on your bedroom door.
"Diamond, are you up?" You heard you mother say through the door.
"Yes, mum!" You replied.
"Good. I have present for you!" You groaned. You hoped it was nothing like the horrible outfit you were wearing.
"Yes, mum." You opened the door and your mom shoved a box it your face. You took the box and opened it. Inside was a white beanie with a black Pokeball symbol and a black wristband. You grinned. "Thanks, mum!" She nodded.
"Do you and Pearl have your backpacks ready and your postcards from the Proffessor?" You nodded, while Pearl just screamed.
"Ms. Suzuhara, get Swabu off me!" Both you and your mom sweatdropped.
"Again? Swabu, get off the poor boy." Swabu tweeted before floating over to the hat rack and landing on top. "Couldn't you havebeen a normal Swabu?" Mom asked the Swabu. You laughed.
"Normal is so over rated." You said.
"Maybe. Don't you and Pearl have to go meet Chase at the lake?" Mom reminded. You and Pearl nodded, before heading downstairs. Well, you headed downstairs. Pearl hopped out the window to the gutter again. You headed outside and got on your green mountain bike, while Pearl got on his skateboard, and headed off to Lake Verity.
A while later, you saw two people up ahead. One you recognized as Chase, while the other was an old man in a lab coat.
"Oi, Chase!" Pearl called. Chase looked over your way and waved. You rode up to the two.
"'Ello, poppet." You said in a cheesy british accent. Chase grinned.
"'Ello Diamond, 'ello Pearl." Chase mimicked. The old bat in the lab coat raised an eye brow. "Pearl, diamond, meet Proffessor Rowan. Rowan, meet Diamond and Pearl." The old bat now known as Rowan nodded as a greeting.
"So you are friends of Chase, eh? Did you by any chance come to pick him up?" Rowan asked.
"Yeah. We're going to go get some Pokemon from Proffessor Rowan in Sandgem Town." Pearl said. "Wait...YOU'RE Rowan?" You sweatdropped. Rowan nodded.
"Yes, yes I am. I am the Pokemon Expert in this region. I study Pokemon Evolution. My Favorite pokemon is Eevee. It's so cute and lovable and it has so many evolutions! It has seven, the most a Pokemon has to date!" You, Chase, and Pearl sweatdropped.
"He kinda has a thing for Eevee." Chase said, scratching the back of his head.
"Thanks for pointin' out he obvious." You said in a You're-a-dumbass voice complete with irritated look. He grinned nervously. Rowan cleared his throat and the three of you returned your attention to him.
"As you all know, once you turn ten you are eligable to become a Pokemon trainer and will receave a Pokemon native to the region. You have the choices of Piplup, the water pengiun, Turtwig, the grass thingie (You, Chase, and Pearl sweatdropped at this), and Chimchar, the monkey with the flaming butt. Each has it's own weaknesses and strengths, and will evolve into two other Pokemon." He explained. You looked over at Pearl, who had a Yes-We-Know-this-You-Dumbass look on his face. Oh, wait. That's his normal face. Nevermind.
"Yeah, yeah. We know all this. We didn't go to school for nuthin', you know." You said, taking Pearl's irritated look as a chance to say something.
"You did? Eh, oh well. Anyways, which Pokemon do you want, Madame Smartass?" You sweatdropped as the nickname he gave you and rubbed the back of your neck.
"Err...Well, Piplups good but when it reaches it's final state of evolvation it becomes pretty weak against Fighting and Ground moves and gets slow, but on the other hand, it has a high defense and is totally protected against Poison moves. Chimchar's final evolvation is fighting, which makes it weak against Psychic, Flying, Ground, and Water moves, but is good against Grass, Ice, Steel, and Rock types and has a high speed. Turtwig's final evolution is part Ground, which gives it a better defense and is good agaist Electricity, Ice, Rock, Ground, and Water pokemon, but has a decreased speed and---" You never got to finish that thought because Pearl shoved his hand over your mouth.
"Shut the hell up! You're making my brain hurt with all this type, speed, defense crap!" He said. You gave him an irritated look and then bit his hand. "YEOW!!"
"Maybe you should let Chase decide first since he isn't screeching in pain and most likely knows what Pokemon he wants." Rowan nodded and looked at Chase, who was deep in thought.
"I want a Turtwig." He said after a few moments. Rowan nodded, and pulled out a notepad, jotting down the information.
"Sir Stupid Screech, what Pokemon do you want?" Rowan asked, talking to Pearl.
"Thanks to Diamond, I don't know anymore. I was gonna chose Turtwig, but Chase picked that. So...I'll go with Chimchar." He decided. Rowan jotted this down.
"And so Madame Smartass gets Piplup." Rowan said.
"Pearl, you want to trade?" You asked.
"Huh? No, why would I want to do that?" Pearl asked, confused.
"I was going to choose Chimchar! That, and the main girl character always get the cute fire pokemon! Also, Chimchar has a much better chance of unleashing whoopass on the gym leaders of this region!" Pearl raised an eyebrow.
"How so?"
"First off, the Eterna gym, the Snowpoint gym, and the Canalave gym are all weak against Fire. Not only that, but the first person in the Elite Four uses Bug type, which are weak against the Fire type."
"Well, Piplup has to have some good gyms."
"It's only good against the gym in Oreburg or whatever the town with the mine is."
"Hmm...In that case...I think I'll chose..." You waited eagerly for him to say he'd take Piplup."...CHIMCHAR!!" You had little anime tears pouring out of your eyes. Pearl laughed insanely, while Rowan and Chase were sweatdropping. Chase had also been taking notes on what you had said.
"You..you..BASTARD!!!" You yelled, flinging your arms all around in the air. Pearl grinned smugly.
"it's like you said...You can't always get what you want." He said. You growled menacingly, before picking up a convenantly placed stick and started chasing Pearl around, attempting to empale him and get his Chimchar. Rowan got a bigger sweatdrop while Chase just stood there making notes about the gyms, types, and numerous other unimportant facts.
After a while, Chase managed to get you calmed down and the four of you headed to Rowan's lab. At Rowan's lab, which was shaped like an Eevee, you went through the large Eevee shaped door and gasped in shock. The place was an enitire figgin' Eevee museum! There were records of the First Eevee discovery on the wall, drawings all over the floor, Epseon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and all the Eon Pokemon Plushies scattered everywhere along with a HUGE painting with all the Eevee evolutions on it with one huge Eevee on it. This guy was a total Eevee fanboy! Well, at least he wasn't wearing a gaint Eevee suit where ever he went.
After the three of you were finished gawking at the Eevee Museum, you went up to Rowan's desk, which had four Pokeballs: One with a Flame, One with a Waterdroplet similar to the Cascade Badge, One with a Leaf, and one with a Thunderbolt. Rowan handed each of you a Pokeball, leaving the one with the Thunderbolt alone. He also handed each of you a Pokedex, which were different styles. Yours was black with flames on it, Pearl's was an Aquamarine color with Suicune on it, and Chase's was Black and had a volcano with smoke coming out of it.
"Whose the fourth Pokeball and 'Dex for?" Chase asked. Just as he finished asking that, the door to the lab was kicked open and a Blue-black haired girl came in, panting.
"S-sorry I'm late, sir." She had white eyes with no pupils, and you figured she was blind.
"Quite alright, Hinata." Rowan said, nodding towards her. The girl wore pants and a jacket, and had some headband around her neck with an odd symbol that you couldn't really tell if it was a snail or a leaf. You figured it was a leaf and left it at that. In fact, it looked kinda like a twisted Time Warner Cable logo. The girl, who you now know is Hinata, noticed the three of you and blushed abit, which you had no idea why she did that.
"Well, Hinata, here is your Pokemon and Pokedex." Hinata's pokedex was black and had storm clouds shooting lightening down. "These three kids over here got to the Pokemon first, so you get Pichurisu." Hinata nodded.
"Um...A-aren't Pokedex's s-suppose to be o-one solid color?" Hinata asked.
"Yes, but the trainers kept comlaining because they looked so bland, so they gave the newer models paint jobs." Rowan explained. Chase cleared his throat noisily. "Eh? Oh, yes. Hinata, this is...err...What' your names again?"
"Chase Wolfe." Chase had blond hair and usually wore his lame outfit. You tried time and time again to get him to get a better outfit, but he refused each time.
"Diamond Suzuhara." Your blue hair was tied in a lazy ponytail since you were too busy to fix it properly, and were quite uncomfortanble in your evil outfit.
"Pearl Kazuki." Pearl's messy black hair was covered by a red cap, and he was wearing a goth style shirt and blue jeans with many pockets.
"I'm Hinata Hyuuga." And that is how this Adventure started.
