Sinnoh: The last stand
(edited)
This is probably a strange sight, I understand. A battlefield full of people and pokemon laying on the floor with shadows of sinister space people towering above them. You're probably wondering who I am by now, right? Well I'm Ash Ketchum, around me lay my friends and family, the gym leaders of the sinnoh region, the sinnoh regions 4 most powerful trainers the elite four and their champion Cynthia. Confused?
This will probably make more sense if I go back to the beginning; it all started March 22nd 2009. The day I moved to the Sinnoh region and the day it all began.
"I like that boom boom pow
Them chickens jackin' my style
They try copy my swagger
I'm on that next shit now
I'm so 3008
you so 2000 and late
I got that boom, boom, boom
That future boom, boom, boom
Let me get it now"
Still confused? Well here I am Ash Ketchum on a ship, the s.s tidal sailing to the Sinnoh region from the port in slateport city, hoenn. Not the best time for a first impression, singing Boom boom pow by the black eyed peas at the top of my voice while but naked in the shower, but hey, this is my story.
"Ash, Ash get your ass out of the shower we're nearly there" my 9 year old sister Dawn banged on the door "and make it quick"
Dawn can be a pain in the ass at times, and by at times I mean always, but she does have her moments when she wants to. I have this theory that her soul purpose for survival is to make me miserable, and so far she's not disproving the theory.
I quickly got out of the shower and dried myself of put on my clothes; I rushed out into my cabin… I realize after the next part I should have checked a mirror first.
"Hello brother do you intend to go out like that" my sister said with a smirk on her face
"Yeah, why?" I asked curiously. I could tell something was wrong when she smiled like that, but I couldn't tell what
"It's nothing, It's just that most people I know put on their pants before they go out in public" she said as she burst out laughing
I blushed then ran in to the bathroom to find my pants behind the door, I slipped them on made sure I was fully dressed this time then stepped out into the room to find my sister still laughing. Still, I'm lucky she stopped me, she didn't once, I almost switched schools due to the embarrassment.
She finally managed to stop laughing long enough to say "Ash remember we've got to meet Professor Rowan when we reach there, it's about a ten minute walk to Sandgem from our house in Twinleaf"
"Nice joke" I said in response
"What?" She replied curiously
"It's nothing I just thought you said "we" it's nothing really"
"I did say "we". Didn't Mum tell you, I'm old enough to get my pokemon licence so I'm coming with you?"
After recovering from the shock I finally managed to yell "MUM!"
She ran in the room with her psyduck by her heels "Where, where's the intruder"
"pshy pshy" said psyduck peeping from behind my mum's legs
"Mum Dawn said she's coming with me and James on our adventure, please tell me it's not true" I complained
"Really James will be coming?"
"Mum" I whined
"I'm sorry Ash, but she's coming with you whether you like it or not. She's finally old enough and she got jealous by watching you go off on your adventure so now my minds made up. I'm sorry" My mum said before leaving the room. It's things like this that prove my theory time and again.
"I hope you and your beautifly are happy" I said angrily and stormed off.
When I was on the deck I finally found James. James had his hair the same no matter what. His blonde hair would always stay a mess on top of his head, even when he tried to fix it.
"About time sleeping beauty, what kept you?" he asked with a smirk
"Bad news, we've got to bring Dawn with us" I replied in response my bad mood clearly reflecting in my voice
"No! Why?"
"Mum says she's finally old enough and she always has to sit at the side so now she finally has her chance to shine she says"
"Anyway, want a quick battle to take your mind off things?" he offered
"You're on. Go Dustox" I said confidently as I summoned my dustox from his pokeball in a flash of red energy. To this date, James hasn't once been able to beat me in a pokemon battle, but then again I've also always used my starter and my best friend Pikachu against him, but not today. Pikachu fell really sick before we departed Hoenn, so professor Birch offered to send him over once we reach sinnoh. Unfortunately, I also grabbed the wrong spare pokeball while leaving Hoenn, so instead of my sceptile like intended I ended up with my dustox which I caught by accident. This meant that for once James stood a chance of winning me in a battle. Not without a fight from me and dustox though.
"Go Sableye" James said before releasing the darkness pokemon. Sableye was James's most annoying pokemon as he wasn't weak to any type of pokemon I used against him, but it didn't have the defence to back up its type advantages. So I figured that, keep attacking him with anything but normal, fighting and psychic types, and I would do fine. I knew that if used the right pokemon, he wouldn't be able to hit me, unfortunately it was the wrong pokemon…
"Dustox, quick attack" I ordered
"Sableye confuse him using double team the dark pulse" he matched my attack
His sableye suddenly in three places at once and once my Dustox least expected a dark beam shot at my dustox square in the chest
"dustox, fight back with poison sting!" I ordered dustox
"dodge it and use fury swipes" James fought back
Dustox launched a series of purple poisonous pins, which sableye easily dodged and charged at dustox and began scratching him non-stop using his razor sharp claws, when out of nowhere.
"Beutifly silver wind then wing attack" my sister commanded
Before his sableye notices a dozen spores were being shot at him then a tornado got him square in the chest and fainted just like my dustox.
"See you do need me" she gloated in a mocky tone
"Yeah little Ashy baby you do need you bwig sister to pwotect you" James joined in.
That was my limit I jumped at him punching him square in the gut. I felt the air immediately exit his lungs as I did so.
"Now who's the baby?" I said as I continued to punch him non-stop in the stomach.
"Passengers we request that you return to your cabins and prepare to dock in to Twinleaf town, we hope you have enjoyed your trip with us we hope you will join us again, on behalf of the crew thank you for sailing with us on the S.S Tidal. Thank you" The captain announced
"Just be lucky he saved you," I said angrily grabbed Dawn marched back to our cabin where mum was waiting
"where have you to been? Actually, I don't care on second thought, this is more important. Remember, when we arrive in sinnoh, I'll take your things home, while you guys head to sandgem town to meet professor Rowan." she said
"Mum? Why can't we do it tomorrow?" Dawn whined
"Because, he was expecting us yesterday, but due to the ships delay, we've had to arrive 1 day late. Besides, he was already nice enough to delay the appointment, why should we push our luck again?" She replied
"But mum!" Dawn whined again
"No whining, now grab your stuff and keep it ready, we're almost there" She said right as the speakers started up again
"Thank you all for your cooperation with the delay. We are pleased to inform you that we have just docked safely in Sinnoh's twinleaf town. We hope you have enjoyed your journey with us, and thank you for travelling on the s.s Tidal from slateport city to twinleaf town. From all the crew here on the s.s tidal, we hope to see you again, Thank You!" The announcer said as the speaker clicked off. We were now officially in Sinnoh for the start of our very own adventure, the day I had been waiting for had finally arrived, but then again, this was only the beginning. Little did I know then that several obstacles stood in my way throughout my adventure, but back then, I remained blissfully unaware of the danger that awaited me, my sister and James.
Well it turned out much better after the edit I suppose, a lot more detail. As usual of course, R&R to make your time on this site much better. Thank You!
