Hi there! I'm Link 2000. Although I have
had a long break from them, this is my 9th fanfiction. This one is
all about a trainer who begins his training career in New Bark Town in Johoto.
It is based on the Pokemon Gold/Silver games, which have just been released in
England (where I come from). They inspired me to write this fic. Anyway please
read and review. I really love comments. Thanks a lot.
Continuation policy: Ever since I
started writing fanfics, I have kept to my user-friendly policy. At the end of
this fic. Review it, giving me some ideas as to what I should put in my next
chapter, so what you see may be more like what you want. As there are lots of
Pokemon battles in these fics, I have decided to have unique trainers. One way
of this is including other fanfiction authors and reviewers and using them and
there favourite Pokemon (maybe from the games) as trainers. These ideas have
worked well in the past. If you want to be included or tell me what should
happen next, simply include all of this information in your review. Well,
that's about it… Enjoy!
JOHOTO JOURNEY Part 1
Link
glanced down at his wristwatch – 10:58 PM. He yawned. Tomorrow he was going to
begin his Pokemon journey, like so many others before him. He got up and walked
over to his window at the building across. A few lights were still on. It was
Professor Elm's research lab. He knew that the Professor sometimes got so
involved in his work that he forgot to eat or even sleep sometimes. However, he
was one of the world's leading Pokemon researchers, and it was thanks to him
that Link was going to become a Pokemon trainer. He grinned. Prof. Elm was a
nice guy. He walked back over, sat on his bed and switched on the T.V.
Pokemon. Nothing else was ever on. This channel was showing
a Pokemon battle. A Pidgeot was swirling round a Kingler. Link squinted, leaned
forward and studied it. He saw the way that the bird Pokemon swiftly circled
the crab. It's speed might be a useful asset, he thought. Then he studied the
Kingler. Noticing that its eyes never left the circling Pidgeot. He saw its
massive pincers flex. Its strength is its main power, he guessed. He turned his
T.V. off. Enough studying for today, he thought. And with that, he drifted off
into a deep sleep.
Beep Beep
Beep! Beep Beep Beep!
Link
groaned. One of his eyelids half opened. All he could see was a blur. Light
from his window blinded him. He shut his eyelids, then he rubbed his eyes, and
opened them again.
Beep
Beep Beep! Beep Beep Beep!
"OK, OK,
I'm getting up." Said Link, slowly rising out of bed. Not entirely sure why he
has talking to his alarm clock. He started fumbling for the 'off' switch with
his hand. He found it, then hit it hard. The beeping abruptly stopped. Suddenly,
he remembered. Today he began his Pokemon journey. He quickly got dressed, got
packed with his supplies, a good deal of money, turned his cap backwards,
grinned at himself in the mirror, and ran downstairs. He ran out of his house,
slamming and locking the door behind him. 'Won't be seeing you for a while!' He
thought, looking at the house, with that, the thirteen year old turned and ran
to Professor Elm's Pokemon Research Lab.
Link
pressed the buzzer, tapping his feet with excitement and impatience. The door
opened, Link looked up at Frank, Prof. Elm's Aide.
"Hi there
Link." Smiled Frank. "Mr. Elm's waiting for you, come on in.
Link
walked down the corridors of the Elm lab. On each of his sides, scientists were
examining Pokemon and typing data in on computers. They got to the door which
read – "Professor Elm – Proprietor." Jake handed him a card, mumbled, good
luck, and hurried off.
Link
inserted the card in a slot next to the door. The made a large 'clunck'. And
swung open. Link silently walked up to a man who was almost totally hidden
behind a pile of notes.
"Professor?" Said Link, timidly.
Elm
jumped, then peered round the mountain of paper. Then he smiled.
"Link!
Great to see you! I think I know what you're here for."
"Um… yes
Professor." Said Link. "My Pokemon."
"Well
then, come this way, come this way!" Elm grinned, opened a door and held it
open for Link. The walked in.
Inside
the small room. Link looked a three Pokeballs which were placed inside a glass
sphere. Elm opened it and took the three Pokeballs out. He held them towards
Link.
"Water,
grass, or fire?"
Link
gulped, he had never thought about the decision that he had to make here. He
stared nervously down at the Pokeballs. He reached down for one. He stopped.
Sweat glistened on his palm off the light in the dark room. Then he determinaly
reached down and took one.
"I choose
Grass." He pressed the button on the Pokeball. A red light burst out, taking
the shape of his Pokemon. Link smiled. He felt sure that he had made the right
choice. His Pokemon spoke.
"Chickorrr…ita! (Hi. Who are you?)"
"Wow!"
Smiled Link. "It's so cute! Hi there Chickorita, I'm Link."
"Chick Chick Rita! (Nice to know you!
You're my trainer right?)
"I wish I
knew what he was saying." Smiled Link. OK Chickorita, Return!" He called back
his new friend. He looked at the Pokeball and smiled. Together, they would
triumph over all other trainers… He hoped.
Prof. Elm
nodded as he watched Link and his Pokemon. He could tell that they would be a
fantastic team. He took some items out of his pocket and handed them to Link.
"Here
Link. Your Pokedex and Pokeballs. I know that you will succeed in you Pokemon
quest. Good luck. And thank you.
One hour
later, Link left new bark town. He glanced down at his newly acquired PokeGear.
The map on it seemed to say that CherryGrove City was his next stop. He looked
out at the long fields of long grass of Johoto. Inside them lurked the Pokemon
that would hopefully help bring him success. He took a deep breath, and strode
out of New Bark Town.
