I do not own Pokémon, Nintendo or Gamefreak. I guarantee there was another company I had to say I don't own, but I don't own ANYTHING.
This is my first story on DA but not my first story EVER. Under a different pen name, I created this exact story with different character names like 4 or 5 years ago. If you think I will tell you where to find it, you are sorely mistaken. I wish I could delete it but I can't.
Anyway. I liked how this one came out. This one chapter was longer than the first 3 chapters I made last time. xD
Stay tuned for the next chapter (I am a huge procrastinator so it could take a few days to weeks before you see the next, SHORT chapter) (and yes, I know this chapter is short, deal with it)
Hope you guys enjoy it!
The Orre region, a place that has been terrorized by an evil organization twice in the last 35 years. Cipher, an organization whose goal is to take control of the world, was responsible for distributing evil Pokémon that would attack anything that moved. Fortunately, there was always a hero to return these Pokémon to their normal state. 35 years ago, it was Wes and Rui who brought Cipher to its knees, or so they thought. 5 years after their victory over Evice, who was thought to be the leader of Cipher, a new leader arose and brought back Cipher in its terrible glory. Michael, a young boy who barely began to be a trainer, took down Cipher once and for all. To this day, Orre has been peaceful and wild Pokémon have been brought over from other regions and some even coming from regions near Orre.
Let us take a look at one of the new establishments built for new training opportunities. It is in the northwest part of Orre. Surrounded by a lush forest, a Pokémon Academy stands for trainers from ages 7-13. The advantage to going to this school is the rare Pokémon obtained for completing the courses. Two students at this very Pokéschool will be up for quite the adventure.
A certain hot-pink haired girl was brushing her long hair while waiting for someone at the entrance of the Academy of Advanced Pokémon Training. She pulled out a compact to look if there was anything wrong with her make-up or if she had anything in her teeth. A loud, beeping noise came from her pocket, or, more precisely, her P*DA. She pulled it out of her tight shorts and read the message.
FROM: Matty3
SUBJECT: No Subject
I'm here now.
The girl squealed at the message. She ran away from the school, for the last time, and toward the parking lot. A guy, about 6'2" and an average body type, with medium length brown hair with green highlights was leaning on a crotch rocket, or sports bike, for you delicate types. The girl ran towards the other teen and tackled him with a hug. He returned the hug, while trying not to fall back on the bike. "Well, hi there." The male teen said.
The pink haired girl released him from the hug, but not before giving him a peck on the lips. She giggled "Oh, hi! Ready to finally get our Pokémon, Matt?"
"Sure am, babe. Do ya know which one you're gonna get?" Matt asked as he got onto the motorized bike. He handed the girl her helmet and put on his own.
The girl spoke, slightly mumbled because of the helmet, "Yeah, I got the highest grades in class, so they're giving me their rarest Pokémon they have. Not really sure what kind it is though."
"Huh, maybe it's something like an evolved Pokémon or something that can only be found at a certain place." Matt said as he started the sports bike. He drove out of the parking lot and onto a dirt path in the woods.
"Yes, that is the definition of rare, 'Professor.'" The girl said, making fun of her boyfriend. They drove for 5 minutes before making it to the Pokémon HQ Lab. The lab used to be used for researching Pokémon phenomena but has expanded its duties to giving starter Pokémon to new trainers, more specifically, to trainers from the academy.
The two teens walked into the front doors and asked the receptionist where they could get their starter Pokémon. The woman behind the desk told them to go up the elevator and they would find Professor Krane in one of the rooms on the right. They took the directions and the elevator behind the receptionist took them to the second floor. The first room on the right was empty so they went to the next. An elderly woman, a middle aged woman, and a man in between the 2 ages were talking as Matt and his girlfriend entered the room.
"Ah, you must be trainers from the PokéSchool. Are you here for your graduation presents?" The man in a white lab coat, probably Krane, asked politely.
Matt spoke up, "Yes sir."
"Great! Your names, please?" The man asked.
The young girl answered, "Amy Dahlia."
Matt followed suit, "Matt Utzi"
"Mkay, nice to meet you two! I'm Professor Krane. I'll go get your Pokémon. Wait here. Jovi, Lilly, please come help me." The man in the white lab coat said. The two women followed him out to the hallway, leaving Matt and Amy alone.
"What kind of Pokémon did you request for again?" Amy said, getting closer to Matt and grabbing his hands.
Matt closed the gap between him and the slim, 5'2" teen and said, "I said a fighting or ghost type. They told me that if they had one, they would give it to me." He kept looking forward, as it would be awkward to stare a foot down to meet Amy's eyes. She told him that she felt smaller and more insecure about herself when she was looked down at.
Krane came back in with Jovi and Lilly holding a Pokémon in their arms. The blue haired woman had a white creature with grass growing on its back and pink flowers in bloom on each side of its face. The other had a deeply faded pink body and had a light-blue helmet with orange growths coming out the top of the helmet. Krane introduced the teens to their new partners. "Matt, your request for a fighting or ghost type could not be fulfilled. So we gave you a rare Pokémon instead. Matt Utzi, meet Ralts!"
Lilly put the Ralts on the ground and Matt kneeled down to its eye level. Ralts slowly walked up to him and Matt put out his hand to pet the timid Pokémon. Ralts hesitated, but decided to let the human pet it. "Hey there, buddy. You are the coolest thing I have ever seen!" Matt exclaimed. He looked up to Professor Krane and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Lilly responded instead, "It's a boy. Check out its information with this." She handed Matt a Pokédex. For those of you who don't know what a Pokédex is, it's a handheld device that holds information on every Pokémon in existence. Most Pokédex's only hold information on the creatures that live in their region, but can be upgraded to recognize up to 649, as of March 2011. The Pokémon's information will only appear if that specific Pokémon is seen and reported to the Pokédex. It also holds the trainer's ID, item information, and much more.
Matt grabbed the light green device, opened it, and pointed it in Ralts' direction. The machine spoke in a female voice. "Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon. A Ralts has the power to sense the emotions of people and Pokémon with the horns on its head. It takes cover if it senses any hostility."
Lilly said, "If you want to check his vital signs or check his attacks, press this button." She then used the touch screen to bring up a new screen. It read: "Ralts LV. 5 Attacks: Growl, Powder Snow, and Gust. HP 17/17"
"That's so cool! But, why is the Ralts in the Pokédex have a green helmet and mine have a blue one?" Matt asked.
Lilly said, "It's because he's a Shiny Pokémon. A Shiny Pokémon is a Pokémon that has a genetic mutation that causes their color to change. There's no real reason why that could be, but some think it could be because the evolution line the Pokémon isn't the only thing they mate with. It would also explain why they can learn special abilities. All Shiny Pokémon have attacks and abilities similar to their color change. Like this Ralts could learn Water, Wind, or Ice attacks along with the normal Psychic moves."
"Ralts, that makes you even more amazing!" Matt said as he brought the child-like creature in for a hug.
Krane spoke up again, "AHEM! Now, Amy, you had the highest score in HISTORY of the Academy of Advanced Pokémon Training. In honor of this amazing achievement, we give you a Pokémon few people get the grace to see in their lifetime. Amy Dahlia, meet Shaymin." Jovi put the green and white Pokémon on the ground and let it walk up to Amy. Shaymin jumped up on her legs, wanting to be picked up.
"Aw, it's so freaking cute! Boy or girl?" Amy could barely get the words out from giggling purely out of excitement. The Shaymin began to form blooming flowers on its back. Everyone watched in amazement. The flowers looked exactly like the ones already on each side of the Pokémon's face.
Jovi joined in on the giggling. "It's a baby girl. She hatched not a few weeks ago." She handed the teen a pink Pokédex. Amy put Shaymin on a table and opened her new Pokédex.
In the same female voice, it stated, "Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokémon. The flowers all over its body burst into bloom if it is lovingly hugged and senses gratitude. The flowers resemble the beautiful Gracidea Flowers." Jovi pushed the same touch screen buttons Lilly did to Matt's Pokédex. "Shaymin LV. 5 Attacks: Growth and Magical Leaf. HP 23/23"
Krane exclaimed, "CONGRATULATIONS! You two are now official Pokémon Trainers! The Orre region now has, well, sort-of-gyms. They're more like tournaments you need to win in order to get their badges but the last battle of the tournament is always with the Leader of that 'stadium.' I only know of the one in Gateon Port, one in Phenac City, another in Pyrite, the one on top of Realgam Tower, and an actual gym in Phenac City. I couldn't tell you where the other 3 are. You are just going to have to find them on your own. If you guys have any question while on your quest, you can always come here and ask me, Lilly, or her daughter, Jovi. OH! I almost forgot!" Krane exited the room and came back running in with 10 Pokéballs.
"You will need these t catch some more Pokémon. Well, on the rare chance you come by any wild ones. Don't expect to find many, though. Good luck you two!"
"Thank you, Professor!" Amy yelled as she ran out the room with Shaymin in her arms.
"We'll see you soon!" Matt said before running after Amy.
Amy and Matt walked out the main entrance, waving good-bye to the receptionist. Their Pokémon were safe inside their Pokéballs. As they were heading toward Matt's bike, a scream was heard from behind them.
"Somebody help! The Pokémon!"
Wasting no time, the couple ran towards the shriek. They turned the corner to see the back of the facility. It looked kind of like a Pokémon Ranch® or something. Within a blink of an eye, a blue, black, and cream colored Pokémon charged toward them with a blue, energized staff of some sort. It struck Matt, knocking him back a few feet before he fell to the ground, unconscious. Amy tried to scream, but before she had the chance, the creature struck her, knocking her unconscious as well.
