The Journey of Fate
A Pokémon Fanfic
It was half past noon when Daniel woke up. Today was his tenth birthday, and he wanted to reach Professor Spruce's lab before it was over. He had waited long enough. Daniel lived in the town of Rooki in the land of Forenia, which was famous for Spruce. Spruce was a famous Pokémon Professor, and he studied, above all things, Pokerus. Pokerus is a virus that causes the development glands of Pokémon to decrease, increasing experience at the same time.
Daniel ran as quickly as he could to Spruce's lab, ignoring a warning from his mother about running thru the shrubbery. When he got there, Spruce was handing out a new trainer's first Pokémon, a Rubibird.
NEW POKEMON ALERT!
Rubibird-
Fire/Flying
Favorite moves: Engulf (a kind of Flame Armor), Peck, Aroma (basically Sweet Scent, but it damages with a power of 20 as a Normal type)
Evolution: Firecrow at Lvl 15, Touferno at Lvl 34
Ability: Blaze
Appearance: Somewhat like a tropicbird, but red feathers.
"Hey, maybe I should get a Rubibird." Dan thought to himself. Then, he remembered about the other two Pokémon. Daniel walked up to the professor. "Excuse me," he said politely, "I am a new trainer. Will you help me pick out my first Pokémon?"
"Most certainly!" Spruce said. "Now then, have you decided on which Pokémon you would like?" Daniel thought about the three starters and how each would help him through contests and gyms. Rubibird was helpful early on, and helpful in contests, but later gyms might get challenging. Petalokra might help all around, but it was weak. And Sharpshark was incredibly strong, but it was horrendous in contests. But Dan was not in Pokémon Training for contests. He was in it for battles.
"So, Dan, have you decided on a Pokémon?" Spruce asked after he could Dan had decided. Dan nodded and picked up a poke ball.
NEW POKEMON ALERT!

Grass

Evolution: Catcheroot at Lvl 14, Venusplant at Lvl 36
Ability: Overgrow

"Yes, I want this one. Come on out, Rubibird!" Dan hollered. He threw the poke ball out, a white flash appeared, and before Dan could gasp, Rubibird was there. He was a very fierce looking Pokémon.
"Hey, you there!" A trainer shouted from behind the door. "Yeah, you with the Rubibird! I challenge you to a one-on-one battle!" The trainer raised his hand in a 'come on!' sort of way, bending the tips of his fingers back.
"Okay! We'll have it your way!" Dan yelled. He ran outside to meet the trainer. Dan actually knew who this was. His name was Gabe, and he had turned ten just two days ago. "All right, it's Battle Time!" Dan yelled. He had been practicing that for two years. "Let's go, Rubibird!"
"Fine! I call out
Petalokra!" Gabe commanded. "Petalokra, Vine Whip!" Petalokra ran over to Rubibird, vines flailing wildly.
"Rubibird,
dodge it!" Dan ordered. Rubibird's quick speed soon got him out
of the situation. "Now, use Engulf!" Rubibird ignited into
flames, confusing Petalokra. "Now then, the final attack! Tackle!" Dan said. The Tackle combined with Engulf to create a
flame version of Spark, which nailed Petalokra, and the battle was
over.
"Gah, you beat me." Gabe said sheepishly. "I wish I could go with you. That could make things far easier to train." Dan thought about it. It would be good going his long journey with a partner.
"I, for one, think that it is a fabulous idea for you two to travel together. Spending valuable time with each other can only improve your relationship." Professor Spruce implied. He handed a Pokedex to each of them. "Now then, hurry off! The closest gym is in Amethyst Town, which is two towns away. You might want to hurry!"
The boys nodded, and then set off together on a journey that would bring new friends and excitement at every turn.
--Author's End Notes
I do not own Pokemon, I just play the games and invent new pokemon.
Gabe and Dan are my characters, and so are all made-up pokemon. But if you are a designer for Pokemon, please be my guest. Just give me credit.
Next Time: A new trainer joins Gabe and Dan, and she starts crushing over Dan! Will their love interfere when they are forced into a two-on-two battle?
