AN: Hey guys! I thought I'd finally put up my Pokemon fanfiction thanks to me actually finishing the first chapter (finally). This story is about my OC. I hope you enjoy.
World Tour C 1: Summertime
"Kids! Wake up, it's the last day of school ya know." Caroline yelled to her to children. May groaned as she rose from bed. She stretched and yawned, getting ready to complete her usual morning routine. She showered, got dressed, brushed her teeth, then went downstairs for her cereal and fruit. She ran into her brother Max on her way from brushing her teeth, greeting him with a raspberry. Max snarled at her, she always got the shower first!
May went downstairs to see her mother and father in the kitchen. She greeted her mother with a hug and her father with a kiss on the cheek. She grabbed a pop-tart from the cabinet and was on her way to the door when her father stopped her.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Norman said hinting at her younger brother just now making his way down the stairs.
"Ugh fine, but you sit in the back."
"Why?" Max asked. "Your boyfriend sitting in the front seat?"
May's face went beat red and she hit her brother. "He's not my boyfriend!" May yelled. "Dawn is coming with us though, so you're in the back seat."
Max made a face but took his backpack and went out to the car. May smirked and followed him to the car. She started it and looked to the rear-view mirror. Then she saw it, Grayson Arlon, Paul Black, and Trip White, fly past on their Pokemon. She hopped out the car to see them.
Grayson was riding his Charizard, Paul was riding his Honchkrow, and Trip was riding his Unfezant. May suddenly got an idea.
"Max, tell mom to take you." May said as she released her Swellow.
"You're leaving me?" Max yelled as she flew away. She turned around and stuck her tongue out.
"To Dawn's house, Swellow!" Swellow chirped and flew off south, behind the three boys.
Dawn looked out her window and saw the three male trainers. She was as surprised as May was seeing the three, especially Paul. She ran outside, pokéball in hand, and stopped at her front door to see May and Swellow flying down to meet her.
"May!" Dawn screamed excitedly. She ran to give her a hug.
"Dawn, did you see those three?" May asked.
Dawn nodded. "Yeah, did you think they were training?"
"Probably, but let's get hustling. It's the last day after all."
They boarded their respective flying types, Swellow and Togekiss, and flew off towards the Academy. The Pokémon Academy was founded by Professor Oak, Bill, and Scott Enishida. This Academy was opened so students from ages 5 to 18 could learn about and train with Pokémon. Graduation was just last week and so the seniors graduated. Namely Brock, Lily, Sabrina, Janine, Gary, Whitney, Jasmine, Clair, Lance, Flannery, Tate, Liza, Maylene, Cheren, Roxie, Cilan, Chili, Cress, Elesa, and Skyla. Most of these people became Gym Leaders, beating out the former leaders of the regions they returned to with one special case, Lance Arlon.
The Academy was buzzing with news. Lance Arlon had become champion, quite shortly after graduating. It was no secret he was from a strong family, so this wasn't completely out of the question. His younger sister is already a gym leader in Sinnoh, his mother and father are both champions of Sinnoh and Hoenn respectively, and his brother is the strongest trainer of his generation.
May and Dawn walked onto campus and saw their friends, Zoey, Misty, and Candice. They ran up to join them. They were discussing Candice's brother, Lance.
"So is he staying at the Indigo Plateau from now on?" Zoey asked.
"I don't think mom will like it, but yeah." Candice replied.
"Well, how is Grayson taking it?" Misty asked. May, Dawn, and Zoey blushed a bit at the mention of the younger Arlon brother.
"Not so good... He is itching to battle. Last night he couldn't even stop himself from doing night training."
"Night training?" The girls asked.
"Yeah. He'll call either Paul or Trip to come over and they train for two hours with either battling, resistance, or battle videos. Last night, him and Paul watched tapes til' 5 in the morning."
"Wow, they're really serious about it.." Misty said. "I wish Ash could get serious too." She said clearly annoyed about Ash's training method.
It was no secret that Grayson Arlon is the strongest trainer in the region. The Grand Trainer Academy was located in the region of Kanto, a short distance from the Indigo Plateau. Grayson had unofficially beaten all the gym leaders in Kanto, including all of Misty's sisters, Daisy, Violet, and Lily. Grayson, himself, was top of his junior class. He was noted for his good looks, suave personality, and being an "accidental flirt". Many girls would flirt with him, but he was as thick-headed as he was strong.
"Here he comes!" A mob of girls shouted. Most of the female trainers instantly pulled out their mirrors, fixed their hair, applied makeup, and checked their breath. May and Dawn were included. Candice rolled her eyes at their antics.
Charizard, Honchkrow, and Unfezant landed in front of the school. Their trainers recalled them and walked onto campus. Paul Black, dubbed Sinnoh's Strongest, Trip White, Unova's Ultimate and Grayson Arlon, Kalos's Killer Trainer. Grayson and Paul made their way to another group of guys, Ash, Drew, Kenny, Ethan, and Barry. On their way over, they were stopped by two "groupies" Casey and Duplica.
"Hey Grayson." Casey said suggestively with a wink.
Grayson smiled at them and patted them on the head. "You girls are looking cute today." Grayson said. The girls blushed furiously.
Grayson basically ignored them as Paul smirked and followed him, his hands in his pockets. Trip joined his two friends as they approached the group of boys.
"So Gray, how ya feelin' about your brother?" Ash asked. Paul twitched when he said that, knowing exactly how he was going to react to his question.
"The same way you'll feel after I beat you today." Grayson responded with a smile. Ash's inner Primeape was released at this point. Kenny and Ethan had to hold him back while Paul and Trip laughed. Candice and her friends joined them.
"Hey Candice. Ladies." Grayson addressed them with a wink. May swooned at his gesture.
"Gray, stop fooling around, we have class."
"I don't fool around. Right Paul?" Paul was too busy talking to Dawn, however, leaving Grayson alone. The bell rang and Grayson and the guys went to Prof. Rowan's class, while the girls went to Prof. Juniper's class.
When it was time for Battle Class with Kiyo Sensei, all of Grayson's friends were gathered. On the boy side, Paul, Ash, Trip, Barry, Kenny, Ethan, Brendan, Ritchie, and Drew. On the girl side, Candice, May, Dawn, Misty, Iris, Georgia, Zoey, Ursula, Bianca, Lyra, and Marina.
"Alright young ones, I'm gonna pair you up into battle teams. Black with Arlon, Ketchum with Gold. Three pokemon per person, six per team. Girls side I want Brown with Beauregard, Waterflower with Serpentine. Same rules apply.
"I'll use Electivire, Torterra, and Aggron." Paul told them.
"I'll use Spike Shade, and Draco." Grayson responded.
"I'm gunna use Pikachu, Lapras, and Snorlax." Ash said.
"I'll use Typhlosion, Lantern and Espeon." Ethan announced.
The two teams went to opposite sides of the battlefield, pokéballs at the ready. Kiyo stood in the referee position. "This will be a six on six battle. No substitutions. Ready? Start!"
Paul sent out his Aggron while Grayson sent his Lucario. Ash and Ethan sent out Pikachu and Typhlosion.
"I'll start! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on Spike!" Ash commanded. Pikachu sent a current of electricity to Spike. Spike took the bolt of electricity, unaffected.
"Spike, use Psychic!" Spike lifted both Typhlosion and Pikachu in the air and threw them to Aggron.
"Aggron, use Rock Slide!" Paul told Aggron. Suddenly, rocks appeared and fell on the two levitating Pokemon, crashing them down.
"Now Flash Cannon!" Grayson and Paul said together. Aggron and Lucario sent forward blinding white beams of energy to the two face down pokemon. The energy exploded and when the dust cleared, both Pikachu and Typhlosion were out cold.
"Both Pikachu and Typhlosion are unable to battle. Spike and Aggron win." Grayson and Paul simply smirked. Ash was beginning to get flustered and quickly sent out Snorlax. Ethan knew his fate and simply sent out his Lantern.
"Now Lantern, use Hydro Pump!" Lantern blasted Aggron with a Hydro Pump, severely injuring it. Paul looked to Grayson and they nodded to each other.
"Now Spike, jump into the air!" Spike launched himself high in the air.
"Aggron, Earthquake!" Aggron shook the ground, tossing Lantern into the air.
"Now Spike, Aura Sphere!" Spike sent a blue ball of energy into Lantern, sending it into Snorlax, who bounced him off its stomach. Lantern fell to the ground, unconcious.
"Lantern is unable to battle!" Ethan was scared now. He only had Espeon left.
"Snorlax, Hyper Beam!" Snorlax blasted Aggron back, knocking him out, falling on top of Spike. Spike lifted Aggron in the air as Paul recalled him.
"Now Torterra!" Paul's Continent Pokemon was summoned. Snorlax was an open target now so Paul took the opportunity.
"Now Torterra, use Leaf Storm!" Torterra whipped up multiple leaves and flung them at Snorlax, lifting him in the air. "And Energy Ball!" Torterra then sent a giant ball of natural energy at Snorlax, exploding on contact. Snorlax fell to the ground with quite a loud thud. Ash was angry and quickly sent out his Lapras.
Meanwhile, Spike was dealing with Espeon.
"Espeon, use Psybeam!" Espeon fired a beam from its gem, hitting Spike back some. Spike fell to one knee and growled.
"Keep calm and use Dragon Pulse!" Grayson said. Spike sent out a wave of blue flames that struck Espeon hard. She flew back, landing on her feet.
"Now, Sunny Day!" Espeon shined the sunlight though the roof.
"Now Morning Sun. Recover yourself." Espeon became healthy once more.
"Ok Espeon, finish him off with Solarbeam!" Espeon sent a beam of solar energy at Spike.
"Spike, you know what to do." Spike closed his eyes and took the impact, then suddenly, blasted it back to Espeon. Espeon was hit with the full force of her own beam, feeling a burst of aura behind the attack. Espeon fell in front of Ethan, knocked out cold.
During this time, Torterra and Lapras were head to head.
"Lapras, Ice Beam!"
"Torterra, Withdraw!"
The Ice Beam struck the shell, frosting it a bit. Torterra came out of its shell, ready to attack.
"Leaf Storm, go!" Lapras was struck hard, flying towards Ash.
"Keep it up Lapras, use Surf!" A tidal wave whipped up and Lapras rode it to Torterra, but was stopped by Spike who psychically stopped Lapras and the entire wave. Everyone gawked at Spike and Grayson, in sync with each others movements. Their eyes were shut, but they did exactly what the other was at the same time. They crashed their palm down and Lapras and the wave collapsed to the ground. Lapras was knocked out cold.
"Both Espeon and Lapras are unable to battle. Torterra and Lucario are the victors. The winners are Grayson and Paul!" Everyone but Ash cheered for them. Grayson and Paul smiled at each other and high-fived.
May and Dawn ended up beating Misty and Iris as well. Grayson congratulated May with a hug, making May turn flaming red. Paul acknowledged Dawn as well, making her smile.
Their next class was Advantage class with Prof. Will. While in this class, Will decided to share some news with them.
"Ok class, as you all know, today is the final day of school," cheers resounded throughout the room. "So to kick off summer, I thought I'd share with you some information." Everyone was intrigued with what he had to say.
"This summer, Mr. Charles Goodshow, Scott Enishida, and Alder have organized a grand tournament of all the regions. The objective is to win 40 of the 50 badges and compete against trainers of all ages to face the five grand champions, Lance Arlon, Steven Stone, Wallace Arlon, Cynthia Arlon, and Alder."
Grayson's eyes went wide. The bell rang and thoughts were swimming through his head. He was suddenly driven from his thoughts by his sister.
"Grayson! We're trying to figure out what were gonna do this summer."
"All I want to do is contests." Said Kenny.
"I'm with you on that." Zoey and Dawn said.
"I already know what Grayson wants to do." Paul said smirking at Trip.
"Well first I wanna visit Saffron to see Sabrina." Grayson said firmly. May stared at him for a bit and then sighed. "But then I want to visit Ever Grande City, and bring everyone with me. What do you say?" Everyone cheered at this.
Grayson and Candice boarded Charizard and flew off to their residence while they were in Kanto, a house in Celadon City. Erika is good friends with Cynthia and so she had the Celadon Condominiums set up a suite for the Arlon siblings. Now that Lance has graduated, Grayson had his own room. When they got home Grayson immediately took a shower. When he got out, his sister was asleep in his bed.
"Candice? Why are you in my room?" Grayson asked.
Candice groggily responded with, "Because it still smells like Lance."
Grayson already knew that Candice took Lance's leave even harder than himself. Candice and Lance had a special bond. Lance gave Candice her first Pokémon, Snorunt. This put Candice on the track to be a great trainer. She's a sophomore, but in the same classes as juniors, just as Lance was...
"Ok Candice, you can stay in here tonight. Besides, Paul, Trip, and I are going to Barry's end of year party." Grayson said casually. "But can you get out for right now? I have to change." Candice pouted defiantly.
"No. You're bed's more comfortable than mine. Just change in here. I don't care if I see you naked."
Grayson blushed at this. His sister had become much more mature, meaning she also became much more knowledgable about more...adult things. Having his sister in the same room while he changed was just a bit off-putting for Grayson.
"Seriously Candi, can you please just give me my privacy. What if you were changing?" Grayson reasoned.
"I wouldn't care. You're my big brother, I don't have anything to hide from you." Candice said honestly. Grayson face-palmed at this.
"Fine I'll change in the bathroom." Grayson said exasperatedly. He grabbed his black and red plaid button down and his white cargo shorts and headed into the bathroom. He changed and styled his hair then headed back to his room to put his shoes on, only to find his sister undressing in his room. She was in the middle of putting on a shirt when Grayson walked in. She made no effort to cover up, however Grayson immediately put a hand over his eyes.
"Why are you changing in my room?!" Grayson yelled.
"Because I wanted to prove a point." Candice said absently.
"What point could you possibly be proving?"
"That I'm not ashamed of my body, especially not in front of my big brother. You've seen me naked before, Grayson. What's the problem now?"
"The problem is that you were six then and we both hit puberty already!"
"Either way we're still siblings."
"You're way too liberal. Are you done yet?"
"Yes I'm done." Grayson cautiously spread his fingers to peak out and saw that his sister was now putting one of Lance's old jackets on. He sighed with relief and went to the closet to get his shoes.
"You just love to tease me don't you Candi?" He said sitting down on the bed and putting his shoes on.
"Only a little Gray." She said while tossing his hair.
"Wait, are you going to Barry's party with me?"
"Yeah, why do you think I changed. Won't Dawn and May be there?"
"Yeah."
"Well then let's get a move on Slowbro." She said running to the front door. Grayson sighed as he followed his sister, turning off all of the lights and locking the front door. When he got outside, he summoned Charizard and they flew off towards Cerulean City, where Palmer and Barry's house was. There were a few cars parked outside of the house, with many lights on inside. The Arlon siblings walked into the house and were greeted by blaring music. Candice then spotted Dawn and went thought the crowd to talk to her. Grayson tried to spot Paul or Trip, but the only one he found was-
CRASH
"Hey pal, watch it! You owe me 10,000,000 pokébucks for that!" Barry yelled.
"Relax Barry, you just crashed into me." Grayson responded stoically.
"Well look who it is! Man of the hour, Grayson Arlon!" Barry enthused. He smacked Grayson on the back and lead him to the patio. Sitting around the table were Paul, Trip, Ash, Drew, Ethan, Brendan, Kenny, and Ritchie.
"We were just discussing our summer plans." Barry explained. He pulled a chair up for Grayson who sat between Paul and Ash.
"So, obviously we gotta enter the tournament." Ash said abruptly. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, except for Grayson.
"I've already proven I'm the best. I don't need this tournament." Grayson said smugly.
"Oh is that right?" Paul said challengingly.
"I bet I could mop the floor with you. And all the champions." Trip barged in.
"No way. My family is too strong for you guys."
"Is that a bet I hear?" Drew prodded.
"You know what? It is." Grayson stood up. "I bet you I could get every badge within the first month of summer, then win the tournament and beat all five champions."
"Oh you're so on. I wager 100,000,000,000 pokébucks!" Barry shouted eagerly. Everyone sweat dropped at his suggestion.
"This is a no money wager. Just pride and titles on the line here." Grayson said. "Will said we could travel with others to help our chances, so we can team up with whoever we wish."
"What are you boys out here talking about?" May asked as she and her friends came out to the patio.
"We're forming teams for the Pokémon World Tour." Kenny explained.
"We'll what if we want to participate?" Misty inquired. Grayson counted the amount of people and came up with an idea.
"Ok, this is how we settle this. We each for teams of three. Seven leaders, with only the strongest being the leaders. So Paul, Trip, Ash, Drew, Barry, Ethan, and I will be the captains." He heard Brendan groan and saw Misty and May pout a bit about not being the strongest.
Then the "draft" started. Paul picked Dawn first. Trip picked Iris. Ash picked Misty. Drew picked Zoey. Barry picked Bianca. Ethan picked Marina. Grayson picked Candice. The next round, Paul got Kenny. Then Trip got Georgia. Ash got Ritchie. Drew got Ursula. Barry got Brendan. Ethan got Lyra, and Grayson got May.
The team listings were as follows:
Team Champion: Grayson A, Candice A, May B.
Team Kanto: Ash K, Misty W, Ritchie H.
Team Johto: Ethan G, Marina C, Lyra S.
Team Hoenn: Drew F, Zoey N, Ursula T.
Team Sinnoh: Paul B, Dawn B, Kenny K.
Team Unova: Trip W, Iris S, Georgia L.
Team Triple B: Barry P, Brendan R, Bianca B.
"Ok so we all have an understanding?" Grayson said after stating and restating the rules. Everyone nodded. "Ok then, summer officially kicks off now!"
"Woohoo! World Tour!"
