My Real Adventure!
Chapter 1: Beginnings
-Sinnoh; Jubilife City; 1st Person P.O.V.- I guess I should start out with my name. My name is James Edward Scott… And, I am 17 years old. I lived in Sinnoh my whole life… And, I love it here! I was born and raised here, after all. I know everyone in Jubilife City like it's my job… Or something. Anyway, I can also say this with confidence… I have a special ability. I can talk to Pokémon and understand their language. It came up when I was about 7 years old… I was playing on Route 203 with a bunch of the Pokémon that lived there in the surrounding forest when I discovered a hurt Riolu by the edge of the forest. I then noticed its coat and coloring was a different coloring than most Riolu. His coat and coloring was red and black instead of black and blue. I went over to help it and heard it say this phrase to me clear as day.
"Don't hurt me," Riolu said to me. I responded with a…
"I won't. I promise… Just stay still, okay?" I picked him up and held him in my arms as I rushed to the Pokémon Center. My mind had then processed what I had did and I just looked at the Riolu as I ran. I eventually made it to the Pokémon Center and told Nurse Joy what I had found. She quickly took care of Riolu and I waited for Riolu to make a full recovery. Well, I did go home to tell my mom and dad about it. They came back with me to the Pokémon Center. While we waited, I decided to tell them what happened before I brought Riolu to the Pokémon Center. They were visibly shocked as they heard this. They didn't know what to do… So, they told me to never tell anyone else. After that talk, we waited the whole night for Riolu to make a full recovery. The next morning, Nurse Joy came to us with a fully recovered Riolu on a stretcher with a bandage on his left arm.
"I am happy to tell you that Riolu made a full recovery," Nurse Joy told us. I hopped up and down happily as I cheered. Riolu looked at me and smiled.
"Thank you, human… I… Guess that most humans aren't all bad," Riolu said to me as he looked at me.
"You're welcome, Riolu!" I smiled as I went up to him, "I should bring you back to the wild so that you can find your family, huh?" Riolu looked down with a sad look on his face.
"Did I… Say something wrong?"
"I lost my family long ago… It was due to Team Rainbow killing my father and mother and kidnapping my older sister, Victoria," he told me. I looked at him in shock.
"Riolu and Lucario have names for themselves?" I asked Riolu as I looked at him. Mom and Dad looked at me in surprise as Riolu nods his head.
"What is your name, then?"
"Aidan," he said as he points to himself.
"James," I said as I pointed to myself. Aidan nods his head and smiled.
"I know this is a bit much… But, could you help me find Victoria? I can sense a lot of potential in you," Aidan told me, "We need training, first." I scratched my head and looked at Mom and Dad.
"Uhh… How should I explain that to Mom and Dad?" I told him.
"Well… That is up to you," Aidan told me as he shrugged his shoulders. I sighed and looked at my parents.
"Were you talking to Riolu?" Nurse Joy asked me. I nodded my head as I looked at her.
"Well, I can hear him with my mind," I said as I pointed to my head.
"Telepathy… I heard that many trainers that own a Riolu or Lucario can posses this ability. But, the bond must be finite," Nurse Joy said as she held a clipboard in her arms, "Tell me… What did he tell you?"
"Who is Team Rainbow?" I asked the adults as I looked at them. The sheer horrified looks on their faces told me everything… Team Rainbow were bad news.
"Whatever you do, do NOT encounter these people! They indulge in many heinous activities… Their most heinous one is sex trafficking!" Nurse Joy said as she held me.
"Absolutely not! I will not just let my son encounter something like that!" Mom frowned as she looked at Nurse Joy.
"Aidan's parents were killed by these people! He is an orphan now! What do we do about that?!" I protested as I held Aidan in my arms. Mom glances at Aidan and I and frowned.
"We are letting the police handle this. End of story," Mom said. I looked at Aidan as he looked at me worriedly.
"I… I want to help Aidan," I said. Mom stood over me and frowned at me. I glared back up at her. Aidan poked me in the side and I looked at him.
"It's okay… You don't have to put yourself in danger for me," Aidan told me, "I will figure something out. Thank you for trying."
"No, I will not give up on you. You are gonna get hurt!" I told him. Aidan placed a left hand on my chest and a calming blue light surrounds my body. Then, I saw a white light blind me for a few seconds. I was in a very weird place… And, I was in a daze. I snapped out of my daze and spotted a girl walking towards me. She had a smile on her face as she held a Togepi in her arms.
"Well, this is gonna be fun! Raising a Togepi together…" she said to me… Which is weird because she was talking to an older version of me. The girl had long brown hair tied in a ponytail inside of a hat and green eyes. She also had tan skin lighter than my own and was taller than me by a few inches. She wore a blue jean jacket over a red short sleeved shirt, blue shorts with red tights underneath, and knee high laced shoes.
"I hope you know what you are doing, Tiara… Raising a Togepi is a tough thing to do. It's practically a baby," I said to her with a raised eyebrow. Then, Aidan came up beside me and nods his head. But, there was something different about him… He was a Lucario! He had a black handkerchief tied around his neck like a bandana and a pair of blue and black goggles on his forehead. Whoever this girl is, she probably gave Aidan the goggles and handkerchief.
"Oh, James… You can be such a worrywart," she said to me in a teasing tone. I blushed slightly as my vision became white again. I gasped and looked around. My parents looked at me in worry as I panted.
"What the heck was that?! Did Aidan show me something?!" I thought as I glanced at Aidan. He nods his head and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry about that… Wrong future vision. We Riolu can access memories using our aura as kind of like what you humans call... A telescope?" Aidan explained as he looked at me.
"That was a vision? That was freaky!" I told Aidan as I rubbed my head, "Could you warn me when you do that?" Aidan nods his head and smiled at me.
"I am gonna try that again, okay?" he said as he looked at me. He placed a hand on my head again and my vision went white again.
-Mind- I landed in a very dark place and rubbed my head as I stood up. Aidan lands next to me and his hands lit up brightly. Light illuminated the space around us and I looked around.
"That is much better. Now, let's have a look around shall we?" Aidan asked as he walked ahead of me.
"This is surreal…" I said as I followed behind him. We walked for several minutes until we came to a stop.
"Look. This is the place," he said as he points ahead. He was looking at a chained up door nearby. He and I walked up to it and he placed his hand on it.
"This is what we need to stop Team Rainbow. There is a secret artifact in here that we need to keep the peace. My parents told me I would meet someone in the future that would have a lock in their mind. I never thought my rescuer would be my partner…"
"Wait, hold that thought. All I did is save you… How was I supposed to know there was something locked up inside my head and it would save the world or something like that?! My parents would have told me about that already!" I told him as I looked at Aidan.
"Faith is a mysterious thing, James… I tend to follow it wherever it takes me," Aidan said as he placed both hands on the chains and began to pull, "Now… Could you give me a hand? This is kinda tough to pull off."
"How am I supposed to do that?!" I asked in a panic. I was so confused on what to do… Do I think about it or just actually pull the chains off of the door?
"I guess pull it off or something! Come on!" Aidan told me as he pulled on the chains but they didn't budge. I hurried over to Aidan and tried to pull the chains off of the door with Aidan. The chains broke off after a minute of pulling. The door opened slowly and there was a bright light that blinded us.
-Outside; Present; Kanto; Pallet Town- I gasped as I sat up and looked around. Aidan was laying next to me as a Lucario, sleeping as I noticed that I was in my room in the Kanto region. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and sighed. What happened before was a dream… Or more like a memory from about 10 years ago. I should explain what happened to me after that mysterious door opened in my mind… And, it was weird. After that experience, I woke up in a panic as everything around me was floating in the air… Including me and my parents. It was then that my parents told me what exactly that was. Basically, I am very special… I can control aura very easily now. Back then, I wasn't fully in control with my powers. I am not alone in the world… There are others like me called Guardians. They have different abilities than mine… I can explain that later. In order to help Aidan, I have to harness my power and figure out the motives of Team Rainbow, much to my parents' dismay.
So, I moved in with my aunt Xena and uncle Ander who lives in Pallet Town... Which is about 4 years ago today. They told me to take my time with my decision. I told them I would go out on my journey when I turned 17… Which is today. I sighed and rubbed my head as I shook Aidan awake. Aidan yawned as he sat up and looked up at me. His appearance had changed ever since he evolved into a Lucario about a year ago. His aura appendages that were hanging from his head were a slightly red color at the ends, his torso wad red instead of blue and his tail was red as well.
"Well… That was weird," I said as I rubbed my forehead and looked at Aidan. Aidan looked at me and blinked as he got out of bed.
"Is there something wrong, Brother?" Aidan asked me as he folds his arms. I sighed and shook my head.
"Just a dream, Aidan. Don't worry about it," I told Aidan as I slipped out of my black and gold Luxray patterned pajama shirt and tossed it aside. I opened my closet and looked through the clothes hanging up inside. Aidan stretched his arms out and yawned.
"Well… How are you feeling today?" Aidan asked me as he did some stretches.
"Is it weird that I wasn't really looking forward to this day?" I told Aidan as I pulled out a black shirt with a blue Mega Charizard X breathing blue flames into the sky. I smirked as I also pulled out several more shirts with several different Pokémon on the front of the shirts, doing different things and posing several different ways as well as several different pairs of shorts and pants. I placed the clothes on the bed and pulled out a brown backpack. I put the clothes in the backpack and put some underwear in the backpack as well. I smiled as I put on the Charizard shirt and went into the bathroom.
"James! Are you up?" a voice called from downstairs.
"Yeah! Just getting ready!" I called as I poked my head out of the bathroom. I then looked over at my dresser and tossed a brush at it. There was a radio sitting on top of the dresser. The brush hits the radio and an alternative rock song began playing on the radio.
-Play Mouth Of The River By Imagine Dragons-
I went back into the bathroom and began brushing my teeth as Aidan sat cross legged on the floor and began meditating. I hummed as I brushed my teeth. After a few minutes, I walked out of the bathroom. I had slipped into a pair of blue shorts and black sneakers with a yellow star etched on the outer sides. I fixed my black shirt on my body as I grabbed a green hoodie out of the closet and slipped it on over my black shirt.
"Well, I think this should suffice… What do you think, Aidan?" I asked Aidan as I looked at him. He opened his eyes and stared at me.
"Well… I don't really know. I have never seen you wear something so… Flashy," Aidan told James as he rolled his eyes. I frowned as I rubbed the back of my head.
"Well, I want to make a good first impression. I haven't properly met Prof. Oak face to face before. So, it will have to do," I told him as I rolled my eyes. Aidan chuckled and stood up.
"You are trying so hard to impress an old man, Brother… Seriously? I wouldn't try too hard," he told me with a chuckle. I breathed out smoke from my nostrils as I glared at him.
"You know you are not pure enough to get smacked in the back of the head, right?" I told him with a raised eyebrow. He chuckled as he waved me off. I pinched the bridge of my nose and walked to the door of my room.
"Whatever… Come on. Let's get going." Aidan chuckled and followed behind me. He and I walked down the stairs and made it to the living room where a red haired pale skinned woman was sitting on the couch, drinking some tea from an Alomaloma shaped teacup. She glanced at me and smiled as she stood up.
"Good morning, Jamie! Are you excited for your journey?" she smiled at me. This is Xena Galego Breaux… My aunt. She is one of the most happy go lucky people in the world… In my opinion. Her husband and my uncle, Ander Vincent Breaux, is my mother's younger brother. He is strict and kind of a hard nose about several things. But, he is a hardcore Pokémon trainer and cares deeply about his Pokémon and Xena.
"Somewhat… I just hope I can do good on this journey," I said as I rubbed the back of my head, "I wonder how many are like me out there…" Xena puts her teacup down on the table and walked over to me and pats me on the shoulder.
"You know Ander and I support anything you do, Jamie… Remember that," she told me as she nods her head, "If Jared and Maya could do the same…" I frowned at the mention of my parents' names.
"Don't even worry about it, Aunt Xena. They kind of hated whatever I decide to do on the fly," I said as I rubbed the back of my head.
"Maya tends to have a big head about everything," Ander's voice called out of nowhere. He walked into the living room with his Arcanine, Loyalty, following behind him.
"Well… It is Maya we are talking about," Xena told Ander as she turned to him, "Did you stop your training to see James off?"
"Of course… I don't want to miss him before he goes out," he said sternly, "After all, we prepared him the best that we could. Are you up for it, kid?"
"I am 17, Unc… I can handle it," I said as I rubbed the back of my head.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Ander asked me as he hands me a Luxury Ball. I slapped my forehead and took the ball.
"I cannot believe I was about to forget you, Destiny… Sorry," I said as I tossed out the Luxury Ball. Out came a female humanoid like creature with blue hair covering the left side of her face and her hands were a light green color. She gave me a sad look as I rubbed the back of my head.
"That wasn't very nice, Master…" she said as she pouted at me. I sighed as I pat her on the head.
"I promise that I will not leave you out anymore… Okay?" I told her. She smiled and looked at me.
"Okay. Are we finally going on a journey?" Destiny asked me as she bounced up and down happily. I chuckled as Aidan smiled at her.
"Yes, Destiny… We are first making a stop at Prof. Oak's lab," I said as I looked at her. She giggled and stuck close to me as Aidan folds his arms.
"You think she would be used to this…" Aidan told me. I smirked and shook my head as I looked back at my partner.
"It's Destiny, Aidan… You know how she is," I smiled, "All right, you 2. Let's set out!" Destiny and Aidan cheered as we went out the door.
(All right! This is gonna be one of 2 little side projects I will be working on. The other is another Pokémon story coming in the future that takes place in Sinnoh. This is kind of a what if for me if I went out on a journey. Also, I gave myself a backstory to justify why I am going on a journey in the first place. Also, I know… This is another Kanto journey on this site. But, this time… I will not implement Team Rocket as much in this story. This time, there will be a new evil team that I will be dealing with called Team Rainbow. I mentioned them in the beginning of the story. And finally… Aidan is a special Lucario that I made SPECIFICALLY for this story. Hence his appearance will be explained later in the story. As always, Till Next Time! SONIK OUT! A/N.)
