Hello guys !
Welcome in the first chapter of this fanfiction ! If you are here, it mean that you are interesting by Pokemon, and more especially the manga Pokemon Adventure, or Pokespe (normally). This is the first time I post a multi-chapter fanfiction about Pokespe, I hope it is not too bad. Also, English is not my mother tongue, and I personally consider that I am bad in it. I want to thank my friend Bright who took the time to correct the two first chapter, but, if you are interesting, I am looking for a beta-reader, who could correct all my stupid mistakes. Don't hesitate to comment or message me if you are interested !
Normally, this fanfic will be update every Saturday around 5 PM (in the time zone GMT+1, if you don't have the same timezone, just give me yours and I will tell you which hour it would be for you), for the next five weeks and probably more, like the fifth first chapters are already written, and I am currently working on the sixth one.
This first chapter is short, but it will become longer with time (currently, the last chapter I wrote, the fifth one, is three time longer than this one).
Sorry for this long text which probably interest nobody and thank you in advance to read this story !
oOo
It was a stormy day in Kalos. After a heatwave period, the inhabitants could not get out of their houses because of all the rain and thunder. With this kind of weather, you could believe that Tornadus, Thunderus and Landorus had moved from Unova to Kalos. The inhabitants of the region have started to prepare themselves for what could happen if that were to occur: the fractured foundations, the fallen trees, the damaged roads... They were ready, or at least tried to be ready.
In Vaniville Town, X and Y were in the living room of X's house, watching the rain fall from behind the windows while reading books. They knew that the river near the town could sometimes rise suddenly, and they did not want to be swept away by a possible flash flood. So, with their Holo Casters connected to the news channels at all times, they could be aware of what could happen and could know in advance if they needed to higher ground or not. They made sure to take extreme care in being prepared for any possible event.
But at this moment, they could only wait. Even with some books and their Holo Casters to entertain them, they quickly grew bored. When both of them raised their eyes off of their respective books, there was a little knowing smile plastered on their faces. The kind that only the closest friends could have. After a short moment, Y asked :
"So X, what is your book about?"
"It's about different kinds of evolution stones," He answered, "and yours?"
"It's about the history of Sky Battling, I have to read it for school." She clarified, showing him the cover.
"Is it interesting at least?" He inquired with a yawn.
"Yes, it's a really nice book!" She said enthusiastically, "For example, did you know that the first sky trainer..."
The young girl started to deliver a monologue about how amazing this sky trainer was and how their technique was ahead of their time. X listened patiently to the girls rant, only stopping her when he needed elaboration on some technical terms. He listened closely and attentively to every word she said, because she was his friend, and a friend was always ready to listen about the passions of their friends.
Suddenly, Y was interrupted by a breaking news alert on the Holo Caster. They both turned and listened of the presentator, one who had replaced Malva after the terrible events of three years prior.
"Here Jean Bonbeure for the Holo Caster news. Alert for the people who live in Lumiose Badlands, an explosion has occurred near the Kalos Power Plant. To those who live near the Power Plant. Please take caution and stay in your homes. Reports say that the explosion has caused numerous blackouts, mostly in the Lumiose City area. I will now cut too journalist Marie Onette, who is currently at the scene."
"Hello Jean, Marie from the Lumiose Badlands here! The explosion happened an hour ago, near the Power Plant. However, the Power Plant was not the origin of it and is as far as we know, unaffected by it. The cause of this event is still yet unknown, as there is nothing in the immediate area of where the explosion took place. The main priority at the moment is to secure the scene before starting investigations. Although we did manage to obtain video footage of the explosion from a security camera at the Power Plant."
The video was played on the Holo Caster. At the begining, they could only see the typical landscape of the Badlands. But, not even a few seconds later, an incredible explosion suddenly obliterated the land around it, causing some interference with the camera. The journalists left the video footage to continue rolling even after the explosion had already happened. So that all could bear witness to the sheer power it possessed, and the devastation it had caused to the surrounding environment.
At the end of the video, X frowned. Was it just him? Or did he see something just now...
"Hey... I hope this won't cause to much trouble in the region." Sighed Y.
"Sorry, but can I see the video again?" Asked X. "I need to check something."
Without waiting for a reply he replayed the video, and proceeded to do it again after the end of the first replay. He paused at the end of the second replay. "Y, do you see that?" Asked the boy.
"See what, where?" She inquired confusedly.
"Right here in the corner, I think I see two figures running away." He clarified pointing to a spot on the video.
"Wait...Ah! I see now! But who are they? Do you think they work for the Power Plant?" Y questioned, staring at the shadowy figures.
"I doubt it, they were all inside because of the storm. Not only that, the figures appeared too quickly after the explosion, they could not have had enough to run out and see what had happened. No, they don't work for the Power Plant." X replied, eyes slightly narrowed at the corner of the screen.
"You think that they might have something to do with the explosion?" Y asked, turning to him.
"Probably, there is nothing around where the explosion took place, and these two figures appeared just after it took place. It also looks to me like they are running away. The question is who are they, and what do they have to do with this? But no matter how they are involved In this, this isn't just any regular explosion, and I have a bad feeling about it." X responded, a deep frown on his face.
"Your worried about what will happen next right? I also want to know more about this, so let's investigate it together!" Y said with resolve.
"Are you sure you about this?" X asked, raising a brow in uncertainty at her words.
"Sure! Like I said, I want to know more about it, and you know that I don't really trust the police anymore, so if you want to figure this out, I'll help you!" Y replied determinedly.
"Thank you, Y. I do wanna get to the bottom of this. But we can't travel yet, not in this weather at least. so while we wait for the rain to clear up, let's pack some stuff we will need for the trip." X said, a hint of a smile on his face.
"Sure! I can't wait for it!" She said excitedly over the prospect of a new adventure.
During the next few hours, the two teenagers prepared their bags, and when the weather had finally cleared two days after, they left Vaniville Town.
This journeys beginning was much more calmer than the beginning of their first one, when they were with Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor. But they still did not know that this journey would bring them into one of the most complicated situations the world would ever know. Where the appearance did not reflect the reality, and where trust is not so easy to find. A situation which would not only affect Kalos, but the entire world.
But this is only the beginning of this long and complicated journey. A journey filled with new mysteries and dangers, but also new allies and friends alike.
This is how are story begins.
oOo
Hope you liked this, don't hesitate to review and share what you think of this first chapter and see you next week !
Also, the little anecdote of the end : the name of the first journalist, Jean Bonbeurre, is a french pun, like when you say this name, you hear Jambon-beurre, a famous french sandwich. And for the second one, it is also a pun, like Marie Onette sounds like marionnette, or puppet.
