Pokémon Travels – Kanto Trainer Red
Chapter 1 – Pallet Town Introductions
A young lad stood near a grassy path that left the town he resided in. He was unsure of whether to step out into the grass in order to locate his hometown Professor, who had seemingly disappeared from the small town. His attire, a red and white body warmer, which was complimented by his dark brown, often mistaken for red, eyes, the red and white hat upon his spiky brown hair and black wristbands, over a black t-shirt with casual blue jeans on red and white trainers, would surely attract wild Pokémon due to the primary colours, especially with the new yellow bag his mother had given him. Deciding that if he wasn't here, the Professor would probably be locating Pokémon in the route, so stepped into the grass to locate him. He wasn't two steps out before he heard a familiar voice call to him from the town.
"Hey! Wait! Don't go out!" Red turned to see an old man in a purple shirt and brown pants held up by a black belt under a lab coat running toward him. He was out of breath when he reached the young lad, but never-the-less stated; "That was close! Wild Pokémon live in tall grass!"
As if on cue, a small yellow rodent, with brown stripes on it's back and black ones upon it's long ears, but neither standing out as much as it's red cheeks and brown to yellow lightning bolt shaped tail, lifted itself out the grass, looking as if it had just awoken from a nap. Professor Oak quickly pulled a small red and white ball out and threw it toward the rodent, almost as if he had been ready. The ball opened at the centre and pulled the Pokémon in, shaking three times as it struggled against the locking mechanism before calming. He let out a whew before picking up the ball and returning his attention to the young lad.
"A Pokémon can appear anytime in tall grass. You need your own Pokémon for your protection. I know! Here, come with me!" Red nodded and followed the old man, knowing better then to question him. He was taken to a large building in the south of the town, before the professor hurried ahead. Red knew who was going to be there as well, so wasn't surprised by the sight of a young lad with blue eyes, spiky brown hair and dressed in a black shirt with purple pants, which were complimented by his purple wristbands. He had a white bag around strapped around his waist, which went to his side, and a white necklace. He looked bored, which our lad thought was probably because he had been waiting there since the morning, as he had found out when he was looking for the professor. When Professor Oak entered the room, closely followed by our lad, he spoke up.
"Gramps! I'm fed up with waiting!" he complained, with a small growl from his stomach that indicated he had skipped breakfast and dinner for this. Professor Oak turned to his grandson with a questioning hmm, before giving Blue a slightly annoyed look, probably because he had skipped breakfast and lunch again.
"Blue? Why are you here already? I said for you to come by later..." Blue merely gave him a look that obviously implied he couldn't wait, "ah, whatever! Just wait there."
Blue followed orders, stepping out the spotlight, as it were. Professor Oak then turned his attention to our lad, before pointing to a small red and white ball, similar to the one he caught the rodent in before, upon the table next to him, "Look, Red! Do you see that ball on the table? It's called a Poké Ball. It holds a Pokémon inside. You may have it! Go on, take it!"
Blue seemed to be miffed at the idea his rival would be getting a Pokémon before himself. He turned to his grandfather with annoyance in his eyes, "Hey! Gramps! What about me?"
Professor Oak merely turned to the boy and delivered a sharp "Be patient, Blue, I'll give you one later."
Red was already walking to the table, looking at the Poké Ball containing his future Pokémon. He wondered if it would be one of the Pallet Starters, like those three trainers got 2 years ago. He wanted a Bulbasaur, like the trainer with the initialized nickname…what was it, A.C? No, it was with an -ee sound. As Red went to take the ball, however, he was promptly shoved out the way by Blue.
"No way! Red, I want this Pokémon." with that, he snatched up the Pokéball, which registered his DNA as the owner.
"Blue! What are you doing?" Professor Oak stated with annoyance. He was obviously unhappy with his grandson's behaviour. He swore he had raised him with better manners than pushing people around like that and snatching someone else's Pokémon after the disappearance of his parents.
"Gramps!" Blue said in a childish, complain-y manner, "I want this one!"
"But, I... Oh, all right then. That Pokémon is yours. I was going to give you one anyway... Red, come over here," Professor Oak relented to his Grandson, before summoning over the boy in red. He reached into his labcoat and pulled out the Pokéball from before, which held the mouse from before, "Red, this is the Pokémon I caught earlier. You can have it. I caught it in the wild and it's not tame yet."
Red took the Pokéball and looked into the red-tinted top, which let him see the glaring rodent. It was clearly unhappy about being held in the confining space, but Red couldn't let it out in case it ran from him. Red turned to the professor and bowed respectfully, indicating he was going to take his leave. However, as he got past the bookcases in the middle of the lab, he heard his rival call to him,
"Wait Red! Let's check out our Ppkémon!" Red knew that was Blue's way of inviting him into a battle. He had done the same when they played the games that had been made for the Game Boy based upon a trainer's journey, which allowed a battle between two games. Red turned to his rival and nodded, telling Blue the challenge was accepted, much to Oak's chagrin, "Come on, I'll take you on!"
Blue threw his Pokéball into the space between them, releasing a small, brown and white, fox-like Pokémon. It let out a battle cry of "Vuuiiiiiii" before assuming a battle stance. Red looked at his Pokémon, before throwing it out. The mouse didn't assume any stance, but instead just sat there.
"So, Red got the Pikachu and Blue got the Eevee," Red heard one of the Aides state. So, the mouse was called Pikachu…cute, he supposed. He turned to his opponent to see him order Eevee to tackle Pikachu. The fox acted quickly, running straight for its target and slamming the mouse. It jumped back to its master, before resuming its previous stance. Red looked to Pikachu to figure out one of its moves, before deciding to order a Thundershock. The Pikachu, though obviously disliking taking orders, obeyed and released the energy in its cheeks at the fox, sending a few volts through it. Blue ordered a Tail Whip, the fox obeying by wagging its tail, which merely puzzled the mouse enough to lower its defence. Red saw through it, however, and ordered the mouse to Growl at the fox, which became unnerved and slightly reluctant to attack, effectively lowering its attack power. Blue merely ordered another Tail Whip, causing Pikachu to begin taking the Eevee less seriously and lower its defence some more. Red didn't want this to go into a "How low can it go?" match, and ordered a Thundershock, causing the fox more pain. Blue growled at this, ordering Eevee to Tackle, which caused more harm to Pikachu then it should have because of the lowered defence, but Pikachu still kept it's defence low, unable to take it serious yet. Red ordered another Thundershock and luck chose Red's side as Eevee was hit in a critical spot. The damage done, Eevee let out a cry before falling to its side, unable to battle.
"WHAT? Unbelievable! I picked the wrong Pokémon!" he returned his Eevee, looking shocked he had been defeated. This didn't last long, before he returned to his cocky attitude and said "Okay! I'll make my Pokémon fight to toughen it up! RED! Gramps! Smell you later!"
Without any futher words, Blue walked toward the door of the laboratory. When he opened the door, however, his progress was stopped by a young, feminine figure. Blue, ever being the gentleman, stepped aside and allowed the figure to enter the lab, before leaving himself. Now the figure was out of a bright light source, he could see the person clearly. Stood before him was a young lass with sparkling green eyes and long brown hair. She wore a blue shirt with black linings, a red skirt with sock matching to her top, which were under white and pink shoes, which Red knew as Kanto Female Running Shoes. Her hair was covered by a red and white hat, with black armbands similar to Red's own and was carrying a yellow bag slung across her shoulder. She walked to Professor Oak shyly, who seemed to be glad to see her.
"Aaaah, Green. I've been holding the Pokémon you asked for," he said, before making his way over to a desk, upon which sat three red devices Red couldn't identify, but noted were like blank encyclopaedias, along with a Pokéball that Professor Oak promptly picked up, "here you go, now go on. A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits."
Red merely rolled his eyes at the Professor's cheesiness, but then focused upon the girl named Green. He found her…oddly interesting, yet he hadn't heard a word from her yet. Then again, Red couldn't really talk, he only ever spoke when necessary, but she seemed to be quiet because she seemed shy about something…which Red found…cute? No, bad Red, she was obviously uninterested. He looked to his new Pikachu, which merely gave a sly look back that basically said "Ooooh, I know, you sly dog. Go for it." Red looked back up to see the girl looking at him, Professor Oak not noticing because he was tinkering with a device upon the desk. She let out a small squeak, before blushing about being caught looking at the trainer, hiding her face with her hair and hat, before quickly leaving the lab. Red blushed too, before smirking slightly to himself. Maybe she was interested after all. With that thought in mind, he set off on his journey, deciding to go to Viridian Gym, the closest one to Pallet Town.
…
After the trainers left, Professor Oak made his way to his computer. He pressed several buttons upon a phone-like piece of hardware, before the screen stated "Contacting, Trainer A.D…Please wait a moment." After a minute, a young lad with long brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a red shortsleeved bodywarmer with white sleeves and a white collar appeared onscreen, freezing slightly due to the connection.
"Profezzor Oak, how've you been?" the person said, a smile upon his face when he saw his favourite professor. Oak smiled at the trainer.
"I'm fine, A.D. Blue took Eevee, who I must say you've trained rather well, and Red has Pikachu. He's been a bit of a hassle, I ended up running around the town looking for him after he got out. I recaught him near Route 1, after Red had seen him," this made the lad laugh.
"Yeah, sorry abzzt him, he's a bit on the wild side, like his dad. You shzzld have seen when I was trying to evzzve him, took me forever to get him happy, then the lezzling to Level 5…" he cut off in thought, before snapping back, "I don't suppose you've told Red zzout Iron Tail and Volt Tackle?"
"No, but Red's a sharp kid, albeit quiet, he'll figure it out quickly. I wonder how Blue'll react when he sees his impatience has caused him to loose a Volt Tackle knowing Pikachu," the lad chuckled, since Volt Tackle wasn't all that common, before suddenly looking up at something with slight concern and turning back quickly.
"I'm sorry, Professor, but there's something I nzzd to deal with. These two teams are aczzng more forward recently, so I'm a bit conczzned. OH! I gave Professor zzzzz the Pozzmon locations for this region; he said he'll send them to you latzz." Professor Oak nodded, before they stated their goodbyes and the connection was cut. Oak turned back to the blank encyclopaedias, muttering about the bad connection between the two regions…
Author Notes: I wonder which region that is…ah well, I'll save it for later =P
