Chapter one
As the sun rose over pallet town, two teens walked into prof. oaks lab. the first one in is nick, a 6 foot tall 16 year old with hardly toned muscles. he is in black high tops, black skinny jeans, a skin tight, white long sleeve, and a black t shirt over it. his hair was jet black and came to his shoulders in a pony tail, his eyes a deep, calm brown. On his right wrist is a rainbow bracelet made from the evolutionary stones, each about the size of a pea. nick is followed by his drowsee, named taper, who floated along in his pokeball. they are pokemon researchers, interested souly in the evolutionary stones.
Next to enter the building is Alexander, he is also 16, and was 6'2. He is well toned, and had golden blonde hair, wearing blue jeans that gave natural lift to his ass, a black t shirt and a dark blue hoody that was zipped u to just under his chest. for 6 years he had to put aside his dreams of becomeing a pokemon trainer so he could help and take care of his mother. now that she had beaten cancer and its treatment, he was finally able to set on his journey. His only wish is to be the best trainer he can be, and to make his mother proud.
Alexander walks into the front lab, sees prof. oak, and walks right up to him. Alexander says, "Hey Oak, i'm here to finally ask for my pokemon." prof oak turned and said, "yes, here, on the table to your right are the three pokeballs. i assume you know their types and what they are." alexander nodded, but before he could take a step to grab one, nick walks in with taper and a box of papers floating just behind. nick gets halfway through the room and says without looking up, "Hey, oak. the density tests are in, and its strange, almost shell like..." nick sees alexander and stumbles with his words slightly, "oh.. um, hi, havent seen you in a while." Alexander nodds and trys to break the ice, "Hey nick, i'm finally getting that Charmander i always wanted..."
Nick smiled and grabbed prof Oak by his collar and yanking him into the next room. Alexander opens charmanders ball and starts talking to him, taper floating over by alexander. nick pushes Oak to the wall and says, "what the fuck old man, I hate traveling and you KNOW how i feel about him" Oak nods and pushes nicks hand off and says sternly, "Yes, i do. that's why i'm ordering you, as your employer, to go with him. Besides, you never would have gotten taper if you hadn't done field work, he would still be there, maybe forever." before could say a word, Alexander walks in with his charmander, and taper floating behind. he looks proud of himself, smug smile, perked cheeks, and shining blue eyes. nick thought, 'wow...' taper laughed and nick thought to him, 'oh shut up'
alexander says, "say hello to my char-char, my charmander" nick makes a slight face and asks, "char-char?" then thinks out loud, "well, makes sence since all its evolutions char..." nick turned to Oak and said with some annoyence, "oak, ill have to phone you at the next town to give you a peice of my mind" alexand er took a step and said, "you're going with me?" nick nodded and alexander said, "thats good, it's probably gunna be hard to travel alone" nick shrugged dramatically and looked away, "well i can't very well leave you alone, what if you get lost?" Alexander smirks and says, "what? and you thing you will be any help?"
The two teens began walking down the well kept path towards pewter city. the smallish trees that are on either side of the path smelling ofsweet honey, the noon sun and gental breeze kept things at a comfortable 78 degrees. they each had a bag. Alexander had a simply back pack, it was dark blue like his hoody, and had light blue for the zippers. inside alexander had $500, four pounds of granola bars, a few pairs of socks and boxers, a bottled water, his pokedex and phone, and strapped to the bottom was his dark blue sleeping bag. his 5 pokeballson his belt. Nicks bag was a shoulder bag that went across his chest and rested on his back, the bags actual shape being a triangle, it was black with grey at the zippers. inside nick had, matches, a small hot plate and fold out pot, two thin bowls, $2000, pokedex, a full change of clothes, his black lab coat, a brush, and his thin water proof sleeping bagon the bottom. his 4 pokeballs on his belt and his phone in his pocket.
They walked in blisful silence for almost 2 hours before finding a trainer, her name was Cindy. Cindy had bright blue hair that looped and curled, she was in a green tank top with a blue green long sleeve under it, she had a puffy blue skirt that ended at just above the knees, her long socks reaching to just under her knees, deep blue shoes. she had green eyes that gave you the feeling she wasn't really paying much attention. alexander ran up and asked her, "wanna battle?" she turned on her heel and said brightly, "Sure! I just got my firt badge and need to train for the second one." Alexander looked at her in aw, and asked, "whoa, you already have a badge?" she nodds and hold out a pokeball, "yeah! my dad gave me this bellsprout and i beat brock easily!"
They got into a battle position, alexander on the left, Cindy on the right, and nick as refery. Cindy sent out her bellsprout, and alexander sent out his char-char. nick puts his hand up and says, "start" cindy points and says, "quick! vinewhip!" the vines shoot out from under bellsprouts head and start whirling at char-char. Alexander quickly says, "flamethrower!" char-char stops completely and turns to Alexander and says, "Char?" the vines lift char-char up and slams him first to the ground, then a tree, then finally throws him hard to the ground from above the trees. Char-char huddles into a feddal position and Alexander runs to him. Cindy cheers and yells, "Yay! hey other guy! wanna battle? and you better be good, this guy wasn't even a warm up"
Nick looks at Alexander, he was craddling Char-char, nick saw how unhappy and hurt Alexander was. nick thinks to taper, 'taper... i can't let her do that to him...' taper floats over next to nick and thinks back, 'whenever you're ready' nick looks up at Cindy, a fake smile on his face, "sure!" Alexander and nick switch places with a teleport, char-char still in Alexanders hands, and nick has taper float in front of him. Alexanders says, "start" Cindy looks at Alexander then nick and says, "are you going to take your pokemon out of its ball?" nick looks at her without actually seeing her, and says, "he doesnt fight outside his ball, he doesnt like it." Cindy smirks and says, "that makes it easier! razor leaf!" bellsprout spins its leaves and a dozen or so leafs fly through the air at taper's ball. nick closes his eyes and says evenly, "confusion" the leafs are stopped dead before hitting taper as the air around taper's ball is stopped and heldin place, creating a powerful psy-shield.
Cindy starts and before she can react, nick says, still with complete calmness, "teleport, confusion" the taper teleports out of his psy-shield and it flys at bellsrout. before cindy can react, it hits him in the face and forces him through a tree. she stares at the small tree that was now in two, and then at her fainter pokemon, she then yelled, "what the hell?!" Alexander looks at what happened and said, "wha- i mean, Nick wins?" Cindy ran up to bellsrpout and knelt next to him. nick started walking over, the grass around him moving like it was under water, he said as he walked, "You shouldn't brag about winning, not when your opponent has only had his pokemon for for two hours." nick stops and the grass stops moving, he knells down and whispers in her ear, "and when an experianced battler is crushing on said new trainer, expect to lose horribly." Cindy blushes and taps her bellsprout with the pokeball and stands up. she bows to nick, turns to alexander and says, "sorry" then runs off in the direction of Pewter city.
Alexander stands up with char-char in his hands and says, "wow! How did you learn to fight?! i thought you were a pokemon researcher?" nick rubbed the back of his neck and says, "yeah, well when you're surrounded by an enviornment full of trainers, thiefs, and angry pokemon, you learn how to protect yourself, and your research." Alexander nodds and looks down at his charmander, nick says, "bring him here?" Alexander walks over, char-char half awake in his arms. nick nods his head and taper picks up Char-char and brings him over a little faster. nick looks at Char-char and asks him, 'you ok buddy?' Char-char shakes his head to clear it and says, 'i guess' Alexander asks as he kneels down next to them, "he ok?" nick nods and says, "wasn't expecting the bellsprout to be so aggressive." nick looks at Alexander and says, "but i think you asking it to do flamethrower was what really got him, i dont think he knows flamethrower"
Alexander nods, knowing he was stupid to think a brand new charmander knew flamethrower. Alexander asks, "well, what does he know then?" nick looked at Char-char, who had just sat up was rubbing his back, and said, 'well?' Char-char said, 'i know scratch, ember, and l learned smog from my friend torcoal' Nick looked at Alexander and said, "he knows scratch, ember and smog. pretty good moves for his level" Alexander looks at Char-char and asks, "what's smog?" nick stands up and says, "a gas based a attack, it is poisonous if inhaled and burns the skin and eyes a little." Alexander looks over and sees a wild weedle inching its way across the field. nick sprays Char-char with a potion and says casually, "why not battle that weedle?"
Alexander and Char-char jump to their feet dramatically, both with an agry and determined expression, right fists clenched. Alexander says loudly, "yeah!" he grabs a ball and continues, "And after Char-char beats him to a pulp, i'm going to catch him!" nick says, with a smirk, "her" Alexander screams "HER!" Char-char roared and slightly caught weedles attention. Alexander says, "Char-char! ember!" char-char opens his maw and dozens of red hot embers fire from his throat. they hit weedle and send him flying off into a tree, he lays there in the embers a moment, in shock, then inches out, heavily burned. nick says calmly, "if your going to catch it, id do it now before he runs." Alexander nods and throws the ball, saying, "gotcha ya!"
The ball hits weedles in the horn and takes him in, nick feels the weedle fighting it, and as the red light starts blinking, nick connects his mind to the weedles. nick says, 'be calm-' the weedle yells out and says, 'they attacked me, why?! i want to leave!' nick forces the weedle to calm down and says slowly, so as not to get the weedle going again, 'he is new, he doesn't know he hurt you that bad, but i promise, he is a good person who will try and take good care of you' the weedle thinks and then asks, 'promise?' nick says happily, 'i promise' the weedle sighs and the ball stops blinking red, weedle was caught. Alexander smiles and said, "i caught him!" he starts walking over and says, "i can't wait to battle with him-" before he can pick up the ball, nick says sternly, "stop" alexander looks and nick continues, "she is hurt, she needs to go to a pokemon center, and so does Char-char" Alexander nods and picks up weedles ball, then says, "pewter isnt even another two miles."
