Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. Pokémon is owned by gamefreak and nintendo. I do however own my OC.
AN: I based this fanfic off my emerald game. So the storyline should somewhat follow that of emerald, with my own little twist on how I view the Pokémon world. My first fanfic so enjoy! If you're looking for a one shot sex story, then you're in the wrong place. Sex doesn't cum ;) immediately, but don't worry, it'll be there. P.S. SOPA's a bitch that needs to be put down. Spread the word and help fight the bill before it is passed or you will lose virtually all of your freedoms as a fanction writer. Many sites such as YouTube, FF, AFF, etc. will be shut down.
The last thing I remember was getting in the back of the moving truck and laying down on our couch.
I opened my eyes when felt the truck hit a bump, knocking a box over.
I was able to read the word 'clothes', thanks to the light shining from the window of the door, before the box fell on me and the sealing tape ripped off.
A pair of pants and a shirt fell on my chest, along with a frying pan, which was weird because they didn't really go together.
"Wait a minute..we don't wear frying pans." I said, throwing the box off of me.
Suddenly the the door slid open, revealing a burly guy with a thick beard.
He was white, but he was sporting a tan that showed he stayed outdoors a lot, and he looked about 30.
"My name is Birch", he smiled, his eyes crinkling in the corners.
"Oookay" I said, a little confused, awkwardly trying to get up and move past him, but he wouldn't move, so I assumed he wanted my name too.
"I'm Khalil."
"Everyone calls me the Pokémon professor" he told me, smiling even wider
I waited for him to continue, but he said nothing.
"Oh cool...so..
He pulled out a pokeball and pressed the release button on it, shooting out a red beam that turned into a Pokémon.
It was a small, blue quadruped, with a lily pad on its back that was slightly larger than itself.
"This is called a Pokémon" he explained.
"I already know what a lotad is, why are you telling me?" I asked
"Just making sure you know the basics. Now please let me continue" he frowned, sad not to tell his obviously practiced speech.
"Sure, go ahead" I grinned, patronizing him.
"Thank you. As I was saying, our world is highly inhabited by these creatures. We live alongside them as playmates, and sometimes more" he winked, and when I looked down, the lotad was winking too, sticking its tongue out and swirling it around.
"What do you mean?" I questioned, exaggerating by making a jerking off motion.
The lotad smirked and opened its mouth wide, making a gaping 'O'.
He roared with laughter. "HA! I can see you already know" he laughed.
"Anyways, we also work with them, and battle other people like us- Pokémon trainers. Despite all of this, we still don't know everything about Pokémon. There are actually many secrets about them. To unravel these mysteries, I have been undertaking research. Its what I do" he said matter of factly, like it was no big deal.
"And who are you?" he asked, his expression seeming sincere.
In a moment, my face went from deadpan to incredulous. I tried to back away, but it was difficult given we were in the back of a moving truck. "He he" he chuckled "I'm kidding"
"It was Khalil right?" He asked
"Yea" I confirmed.
"Well then, be seeing you!" He waved cheerily.
"Wait, what?! Where are you going?!" I cried as he faded away.
"Are you ready?" A mysterious voice questioned with an undertone promising a life of questionable substances and suspicious characters.
"For what? And who are you?!" I looked around to find nothing
"ARE you ready?" The voice said a little louder than before, turning aggressive.
"Woah ! Calm down! Yea sure I geuss" I said annoyed by this intangible voice.
"Then prepare to enter a world of Pokémon where dreams, adventure, and friendships await!"
The world started shaking around me. A light kept getting brighter and brighter in front of me. The light was just about to engulf me when I heard someone shout "Khalil!"
Suddenly I woke up, opening my eyes to the back of the moving truck being opened.
Blinking in the strong sunlight, I looked up to see my mom standing there.
"We're here honey" she smiled. "Sorry you had to ride in back with our things." She apologized, helping me over several things to get out.
"Well this is Littleroot town. How do you like it? Its our new home" she told me.
"Its a nice little town, its sort of laid back" she explained as we walked inside. "Nothing much really happens here."
"Oh! And you get your own room!" She grinned, as I closed the door, fighting the urge to pumpy my fist in the air.
"Really?! Now way! This is so cool!" I exclaimed.
I was beaming with excitement. You see, at my previous home, it was just a one bedroom aprtment, so I couldn't take care or certain 'problems' when they arose.
"Thank you so much mom!"
As I looked round I was shocked to see an about 4 1/2 foot tall monkey creature standing in the living room.
"Oh don't mind him" my mom said "That's just the moving pokemon." She told me.
The way she said it, with a very strange look I would come to know best from my girlfriend, was uncomfortable.
"Anyways you should go check on your room upstairs. They've already set up in there" she said.
As I was walking way I could've sworn I saw her rubbing her thighs together saying "I wish they'd set up in here." Feeling awkward and confused I quickly walked upstairs, taking them two at a time.
"Your dad bought you a new clock, Khalil!" My mom called from downstairs.
"Ok! Tell him I said thanks!" I yelled.
As I entered my room I saw a mirror and took a look in it, and what I saw made me smile.
I was looking at a 5'8 handsome devil in my opinion.
I had a clear face, with a mocha complextion and a mischevious half smile that got me branded a trouble maker in school.
I had curly hair that wasn't very long and only about 2 inches high.
This was my preferred hair style unless I was being lazy, in which case I would just pick my hair out.
I was thinking of getting a haircut soon but I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I was wearing my signature green baseball cap with a light green pokeball in the middle that shows up surprisingly well.
I loved that hat and rarely ever took it off, unless I was in the shower, sleeping or had an afro.
I looked down further and saw my favorite T-shirt.
It had a black streak down the middle and was black at the sleeves and collar.
It was orange at the bottom and top.
It wasn't anything fancy, but I still liked my shirt.
I was wearing a very basic pair of cargo shorts, gray with a black streak down both sides.
Last and totally least, my sneakers.
They were a generic brand that you could buy from any poke'mart.
They had a green tongue, with an orange midsole and a white toe.
I had some more clothes in my closet and I wanted to take a look at them.
I went over and opened the door to the small compartment as I started searching for something cooler.
Finding nothing tasteful, I was about to give up when I decided to look one last time.
I opened the door a bit wider so I could search on the shelf on top.
I was feeling around up there when I felt something rough in my hands and fumbled with it before it came tumbling down onto my head.
I looked at it and saw it was a box labeled 'family pictures'.
I opened it to find several photos of me my, my mom and my dad, when I was younger, before my dad came here to be the petalburg city gym leader. Seeing these old mementos brought a smile to my face.
Remembering the task at hand, I put the pictures, along with the box, back on the shelf.
I suddenly felt too tired to deal with my current wardrobe problem.
"You know what? Fuck it, I'll look some other time" I decided and went over to my clock.
While I was setting my clock my mother came up stairs.
"Good everything's set up neatly. The movers finished up downstairs. "
Again she had that funny look on her face and started rubbing her legs together, leaving the dorrway and 'dancing down the hall.
As I walked downstairs with her she glanced at the TV and squealed "Oh! Khalil your father's on! We scurried downstairs just in time to see the reporter signing off and the program end.
"Oh" my mom sighed. We must've just missed him"
The sadness on her face understandable, it'd been weeks since we had last seen dad.
"Don't worry ma, I'm sure we'll see him soon". I assured her. "At least we're in the same region now."
"Thanks khalil, that means a lot to me. Speaking of your father, I heard one of his friends, Birch I believe his name was, lived here in town. You should go introduce yourself" she said, going to sit down.
"Sure mom. I'll go right now" I assured her.
I left the house and went next door to the only other house in town. As I waked in, a lady that looked to be about in her late 30s looked up from TV, her comfortable spot on the couch forgotten.
"And you are?!" She questioned with a mixture of confusion and fear on her face and in her voice as she approached me slowly.
I apologized for barging in and introduced myself "I'm the new neighbor. My mom and I just moved in across the way."
"Oh!" She exclaimed. "I was wondering who moved in over there. How old are you?" She asked.
"Oh I'm 14 and I think my mom is around the same age as you. I was wondering if you could be friends with her, as she's been going through a hard time with my father being at the gym in petalburg. " I explained.
"Oh I'm sure we'll get along just fine. I have a 14 year old daughter too. She was very excited about making a new friend. I think she's upstairs. "
" OK thanks" I replied.
I went upstairs to see a nicely laid out room. In the middle of the floor was a poke ball all by itself.
I picked it up to investigate and heard behind me "Hey that's mine!"
I turned around in surprise and tripped over my own feet, and ended up landing square on my ass. I looked up only to have my breath taken away at what I saw.
