- 30 years ago -
"…The champion of the Pokémon league is…"
- 28 years ago -
"…I call upon the power of the Viridian Forest… Give us the power! The power of…"
- 27 years ago -
"…Now, my heart is finally melting… I can feel the warmth of spring inside me…"
- 25 years ago -
"…With the aircar's shield in place, they'll be safe… Enough people have died this day…"
- 24 years ago -
"…They've all been turned into stone!…"
"…It's not the pokémon battles that I like! It's the pokémon…and the people who like pokémon!…"
- 21 years ago -
"…Jeez…Arceus! How did things end up like this!?…"
- 19 years ago -
"…Even if each of them are incomplete, they supported each other, and that's why…they were able to stop me…"
"…I'll chase them down and catch them! Then, I'll make them repent! First up is you…"
- 17 years ago -
"…Did…I pay it all back? The money I owed for the equipment…did I work it all off? Prez…"
What would happen next?
The second generations, are you all ready?
Disasters are happening, are you all ready?
(30 years after Red and Green set off from Pallet Town…)
- Round 1: Heirs of Kanto -
- Pallet Town -
"Argh… why can't this stupid thread get through this hole… it has been half an hour already!"
"Orange, come down! Cyan is waiting for you!"
"Yes, mum…"
Orange took his newly-bought brown bag downstairs, seeing Cyan sitting comfortably on the sofa beside his sister, Amber.
"You do remember what we are going to do today, right?" Cyan questioned, with a tone showing his annoyance.
"Yes, of course, just too focused on…"
"Battling?"
"No." Orange rolled his eyes.
"But I thought that was the only thing you do!" Cyan said sarcastically.
"Well... Fine, I was thinking about battling, but… Never mind, let's go out now!"
"Fine." Cyan agreed. "Thanks so much Mrs. Yellow!"
"Welcome! Oh, and Orange, bring Pika with you."
"Okay. Bye mum!"
Orange then went out with Cyan, thinking that he had finally got the chance to catch his own Pokémon.
(40 minutes later…)
Orange hurled a Poké Ball the 27th time. The Rattata dodged it and ran away. Cyan shook his head.
"That's not even close, Orange! You should just go swim to Johto and ask Professor Crys how to catch a Pokémon!"
"Well at least it was close enough to scare it away!" Orange argued, just to see a face-palm from his friend.
"Ugh! This is going to be a long day…"
- Orange, a 12-year-old boy, born in Pallet Town on 20th February, with a very high Intelligence Quotient, battles very well but doesn't know much about anything else. Has poor eyesight and is aggressive.
- Cyan, a 12-year-old boy, born in Pallet Town on 1st September, trains and grows Pokémon well and is quite good in battling, but is somehow stubborn and straight-minded.
"Okay, Orange, you should probably first lower down the HP of the Pokémon first…"
"THUNDERBOLT!"
"NO! WAIT!"
The Rattata fainted.
"Just don't be so aggressive if you want to catch a Pokémon! Once it faints, you just can't catch it anymore!"
"Okay… I'll try not to be too aggressive… Hey, a Pidgey! Thundershock!"
"NO! WAIT!"
The Pidgey fainted.
"Meh… Focused too much on catching… Forgot about type advantages during battles…"
Cyan sighed. "Oh, I give up! I'll just tell my great-grandfather to give you a Pokémon. Then you can have your first Pokémon on your own."
"Wow! Really? That sounds good, right Pika?" Orange asked.
Pika nodded.
"Great-grandpa!"
"Oh, hi Cyan! And you must be Orange!"
Cyan told Professor Oak about the incident which happened earlier.
"Hmm… So a child who has beaten the Battle Factory in Hoenn when he was five can't catch a Rattata or a Pidgey…" Professor Oak said beneath his breath.
Orange was then instructed by Professor Oak to choose a Pokémon from the three on the table.
"This reminds me of the day when Red and your father started their adventures 30 years ago… I could still run that time, but now I'm just - as you can see - wheelchair bound. I am almost 100 years old already, and I don't know how much longer I would live…"
"Thanks, Professor Oak!" Orange took a Poké Ball and left.
"As aggressive as always…" Cyan sighed.
"It's your turn, Cyan. You should go and choose one too!"
"Okay," Cyan said while heading towards the table. It was just a few seconds later when he was shocked, realising something wasn't right.
"Wait a second! Why is there only a Charmander left?"
"And there is one of the Pokédexes missing!" Professor Oak shouted.
"Orange took one, didn't he?"
"No he didn't! He just took a Poké Ball and left! Cyan, take these two Pokédexes with you, one for Orange and one for you. Then, find the missing Pokémon and Pokédex as soon as possible!"
"Yes, great-grandpa!" Cyan said, running off to chase Orange.
So, the two new generation Pokédex holders abruptly started their own adventures.
Meanwhile, a girl was hiding behind the lab, wearing a Team Rocket suit. "Well... Never thought that stealing this Squirtle would be that easy..."
- Round 2: When Two Generations Meet -
- Route 1 -
"Herba, Vine Whip!"
The Rattata dodged the attack. It used Tackle on Herba. A critical hit!
"Herba! Are you okay? I wonder how much HP you still have… I never actually cared about it before since Pika and all the Pokémon I used never actually took damage from wild Pokémon, and the Battle Factory will also tell me how much HP does my Pokémon still have…"
"Huff… Huff… I finally caught up with you…" Cyan said, worn out after running after him.
"Hey Cyan, what's the matter?" Orange asked.
"Huff... Ugh... Orange, great-grandpa has told me to give you this."
Cyan handed the Pokédex to Orange. He told him about all the functions programmed in it.
"Recording information, controlling evolutions… Cool! But the best part is… It lets you see your Pokémon's HP!" Orange exclaimed happily. He then used the Pokédex on Herba.
"Oh dear, Herba's HP is getting low… Got to go back home to heal it…"
"Well, actually you can go to Viridian City's Pokémon Centre. It's just right there!" Cyan pointed to a building with a red roof.
"Hey, there is a Pokémon Centre there?"
"Oh, come on! You should at least know that there is a Pokémon Centre and a Pokémon Mart in every city!"
- PKMN Centre, Viridian City -
"Your Pokémon is fully healed. We hope to see you again!"
- Outside, near Viridian Gym -
"So there it is… My dad's gym," Cyan said to Orange.
"Actually, this gym was Mr. Giovanni's gym, but then he went missing for some time. Shortly after he was found by his son he was gone again… That was like two decades ago… Hey, Orange… Orange? I should have known that he has entered the gym…"
- Viridian City Gym -
"Oh, please, Mr. Green, I want to battle!"
"Well, okay, I promise, but first you have to beat all of the 7 other gyms first." Green said in a stern but yet somewhat kind tone.
"Orange, well, you see, Mr. Green and your dad is at about the same level." His wife - Mrs. Blue - said.
Green sighed. "Oh well, I actually lost to your dad 30 years ago. So promise me to be like him the next time I see you okay?" He said.
"Yes, Mr. Green…" Orange nodded.
- Outside -
"Orange, you don't look happy… Of course, you'll lose to my dad for sure!"
"No. actually, I didn't even had a battle with him."
Orange told about his conversation to Cyan.
"Well… since you did make a promise, let's go to Pewter City to get your first badge!" Cyan said.
"Sounds like a good idea!" Orange agreed.
- Round 3: The Rival -
- Viridian Forest -
Orange started to talk things not related with battling with Cyan, which is rare for him.
"The power of Viridian Forest… It is said that a person who is able to heal and read minds of Pokémon is born in Viridian City every 10 years…" Orange mumbled.
"Yeah, like your mom and your younger sister, right?" Cyan said. Orange nodded.
The forest is in almost complete silence. Rustlings are still heard, but not much.
Abnormally not much.
Things are weird, they thought.
"There should be some Pokémon around somewhere, but there is surely much more according to my cousin when she was our age. She said that a Pokémon came out every 10 steps you took. The number of Pokémons are decreasing since 5 years ago, the rate is accelerating, and…"
"Herba, Leech Seed!"
"… And you did no effort in hearing what I say…" Cyan sighed.
The Caterpie's energy is sapped little by little. The Pokédex shows that the wild Caterpie has been weakened quite a lot.
"Orange, use a Poké Ball, now!"
"Okay, I'll try…"
Orange hurled a Poké Ball towards the Caterpie. It didn't hit it. It landed in front of the Caterpie. The Caterpie only had a sliver of energy left and will faint soon.
"Herba, Vine Whip!"
"NO! WAIT!"
"Don't you 'no wait' me all the time, okay? I am not aiming at the Caterpie. My accuracy isn't good but my Bulbasaur's is!"
The Poké Ball was whipped off the ground by the vine and it landed on the forehead of the wild Caterpie. The Poké Ball caught it.
"… Yes! I caught my first Pokémon!" Orange shouted.
"Using battle skills to catch a Pokémon… Impressive!" Cyan praised.
"They don't call me a Battler for nothing, you know!" Orange replied proudly.
"Okay, let me heal your Caterpie with this Potion."
"Hey, where did you get that?"
"Oh, come on! You should at least know that you can buy medicines in a Pokémon Mart!"
Cyan then noticed some rustling behind a bush. The rustling was loud. Also, there were some faint beeping sounds.
"A big wild Pokémon is in the bush!" Cyan shouted.
"How dare you say that I am a wild Pokémon! Go, Squirtle!" A girl's voice emitted from the bush.
Cyan finally realised that the beeping sound came from the Pokédexes. This only happened when the three Pokédexes were near to each other, so this only meant one thing.
"So I found you, the stealer of the Poké Ball and the Pokédex. Go, Firetail!"
Orange saw Cyan battling a Squirtle with a Charmander. "I've got to help him, water beats fire!"
"Firetail, use Ember!" Cyan commanded.
"Hehe… you do know that fire isn't good against water, right?" The girl laughed.
"Bugpie, String Shot!" Orange shouted.
"Another weakling? Squirtle, use Water Pulse!"
It isn't very effective, but due to the difference in level Bugpie is close to faint, and is confused.
"Firetail, use Tackle!" it didn't did much damage.
"…" Orange stopped commanding.
"If you don't attack, Squirtle, use Surf!" Both Firetail and Bugpie fainted.
"Go, Herba! Use Vine Whip!"
"So you saved your trump card to the last, and my Squirtle is almost done for, but since my Squirtle has train a lot…" The girl appeared from the bush, and witnessed the evolution of the Squirtle into a Wartortle. It then ate the Sitrus Berry it held. "Wartortle, Bubblebeam!"
"You are… from Team Rocket? After all those miserable failures you all had a few decades ago… You guys just don't seem to know how to quit!" Orange said to the girl, which had a somewhat natural but fashionable appearance, and the hair dyed in pink… To be exact, dyed in magenta.
"So?" The girl asked with an annoyed impression.
"So why do you all want to do these bad deeds of conquering Kanto? Is conquering Kanto any good to you?"
"It's none of your business!"
Cyan started to feel strange about Orange talking so much. He never stopped in a battle to talk with others.
"By conquering Kanto you all might feel like the dominator of this land, and you all might feel proud about it, but is that all you want? I don't think so!"
"Of course not!"
"So why? Just tell me why right now! There must be a reason!"
"I said it's none of your business!" The girl screamed in annoyance.
"Fine! Herba, use Vine Whip!"
"Wartortle, Water Pulse!"
Cyan thought that Orange would lose for sure. Herba was at level 10 whereas the Wartortle was at level 16, so a single move won't be able to defeat Wartortle even with a type advantage, given that it had just eaten a Sitrus Berry. Wartortles are faster than Bulbasaurs in average. Herba was at low health after the Bubblebeam it took, and would faint after another attack. He closed his eyes in fear.
"Hand in your Wartortle and the Pokédex right now!" Orange said.
Cyan opened his eyes and saw the Wartortle lying on the ground. But why, he thought.
The girl retreated the Wartortle into the Poké Ball. "Okay…"
Suddenly, the girl flew off with a fainted Pidgeotto. "… Like I have to!" (Note: As we all know, fainted Pokémons can use HMs. Due to destruction of the forest by this time Viridian Forest doesn't have a lot of trees such that you are able to use Fly.)
"I could have shot her Pidgeotto down with Pika, but I already gave it back to dad." Orange mumbled.
"But… But why did you win?"
"Bugpie slowed the Wartortle down with String Shot, therefore Herba's move hit first."
"But one hit can't possibly defeat the Wartortle!" Cyan noted.
"Remember when I looked like I blanked out and stopped commanding Bugpie? I secretly commanded Herba to use Leech Seed on its vine. When it used Vine Whip on Squirtle the Leech Seed is also seeded on the Squirtle before it evolved. Then…"
"No wonder you were talking so much to the girl! You waited for the Leech Seed to absorb its energy!" Cyan said, amazed by Orange's genius.
"Actually I was just making pretend how my dad won Mr. Green 30 years ago." Orange smiled at his best friend.
Cyan laughed. "Well you've got to use much more complicated techniques if you want to beat my dad!"
- Somewhere in Viridian Forest -
"Beaten up by a kid of your age? Weak! Learn from the others in the Junior Rocket Squad, Magenta, or else…"
"Yes, Boss!"
Hey guys! This is actually the first fanfic i have written. I actually started writing this three years ago, and I finally (yes, finally) decided to post it here. I hope I can get some reviews to improve my writing skills.
