Author's Note: Hello everyone! This is my very first Fanfiction and I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it. Now I have been writing this story for quite some time and I have completed 14 Chapters already, but I want to upload them slowly. Probably every second or third day for now
Other than that, enjoy yourself and please review :D
Hoenn, a bright and colorful region full with all sorts of pokemon and humans alike. Grassy fields, sandy deserts, crystal clear seas and a fiery mountain in the middle. An idyllic place to go and visit, not only for tourists, but also trainers wanting to challenge the champion of the region.
After the defeat of Team Magma and Team Aqua, the region returned to it's peaceful self for what
was meant for years to come.
3 Years after Team Magma's and Aqua's defeat
10:28 AM, Slateport City's harbour, a hooded young man disembarks from a ship and steps onto the land. He is a rather short man at only 5'7, wearing a brown coat and hood covering most of his face, all but a few strands of hazelnut hair and his dark brown eyes. He carries a backpack on his back and has a sword, a katana to be precise, equipped on his hip, sheathed to avoid any further commotion. "Ughh, I should have traveled with first class, those economy class rooms are terrible... They are way too cramped" The young man spoke to himself as he stretched his arm over his head feeling a satisfying pop, "Whatever, I gotta reach Littleroot Town before it gets too dark. Before I go though, I should restock on items and ingredients for my journey" The hooded man mumbled to himself and looked around to spot someone that might be able to help him.
He spots a young woman in a yellow summer dress with a straw hat to protect her from the sun, he approaches her. She had long blonde hair that flowed in the wind and crystal clear blue eyes, like sapphires.
"Excuse me my Lady, but can you tell me where the PokeMart is located?" The man with the coat asked.
"Huh? Who are you?" The young lady asked back. She checked out the man approaching her. She was a curious as to why he was in a hood and had a sword with him.
"Excuse my bad manners, my name is Richter and I was looking for the PokeMart here in Slateport City since I just arrived," the rather strange looking man answered the puzzled woman.
"Oh, hello and welcome to Hoenn!" The lady in the dress answered with a welcoming warm smile on her face, "The PokeMart is just down the street here, there also is a PokeCenter close by to heal any of your Pokemon!"
"Thank you very much, I hope to see your wonderful self again sometime soon," he answered back with a smug smile and gave her a respectful bow.
"Oh please, you're making me blush," She answered, looking away to hide her embarrassment.
Richter turns to the direction the lady pointed out the PokeMart was supposed to be but, before he walked away he said, "Well I have business to attend to, so unfortunately this is where our ways part. Have a nice day!"
"Thank you! You have a nice day too!" The girl in the summer dress said, while waving at our protagonist as he leaves for the PokeMart.
"I almost forgot, I didn't ask for your name, my fair lady. It would be a crime if I didn't have a name to go with such a lovely face," Richter said with a big and warm smile.
"My oh my, aren't we the romantic type? My name is Reese," She answered with another smile on her face. A sudden breeze whipped by causing her to grip tightly to her large hat.
"Reese, what a wonderful name. Just like your smile it reminds me like a summer breeze, beautiful and refreshing on a hot summer day," Richter stated with a soft voice.
"Please stop it, you're embarrassing me!" Reese said blushing again.
"Well now I really have to go, time flies when you spend it with people you enjoy. See you again!" Richter said and then started leaving for his destination.
"Yes, I hope we see each other again," Reese replied while waving as Richter was leaving.
Richter walked down the paved road and sure enough he spotted the blue roofed building right next to the PokeCenter, just like Reese told him. "Hoenn doesn't look that different from the other regions," Richter mumbled to himself as he entered the PokeMart.
Shortly after he was greeted by the store clerk with a big smile "Hello Sir and welcome to our humble PokeMart, today is a special day as we have a sale for potions and other healing items!"
"Well what a coincidence, I was indeed in need of potions. What exactly is on sale?" Richter asked returning the smile. "Half off when you buy 5 healing items or more!" The clerk explained happily.
"That is just perfect, I need ten super potions and one of each status healing item, please!" the customer with the coat explained. "Here you go Sir, that will be 5000 Pokedollars, please!" the clerk informed Richter still having the smile on his face. "Here you go! Have a nice day," said Richter while giving him the money.
"Thank you Sir, and have a nice day yourself too, Sir! And come back again!" The clerk exclaimed as Richter was leaving the building after depositing said Items into his backpack.
Richter, now out on the street again, tried to orientate himself, but failed to do so...again.
"Ughh why do I have the worst sense of direction ever?" Richter said in an audible mumble to himself, luckily someone heard what he said.
"You lost again?" Richter heard someone say to his right. As he turned around he was greeted by a familiar smile. It was Reese approaching Richter this time.
"Well well well, are you stalking me?" asked Richter with a joking laugh.
"Maybe? Maybe not?!" Reese answered also laughing.
"To come back to your question, yes I am lost… again. I want to visit people in Littleroot Town. How exactly do I get there?" Our hooded protagonist answered back.
"Oh that is easy! Just follow this road down and you will enter Route 110, then after a bit of walking turn right onto Route 103 which leads to Oldale Town. Then you have to go southwards again onto Route 101 which leads you to Littleroot Town," Reese happily explained the route in detail for him, knowing the man was possibly going to get lost yet again.
"Oh God, could you write that down for me, please? I really am bad at directions myself, hehe," Richter explained followed by a small chuckle to hide his embarrassment.
"Yeah sure! You got pen and paper? Cause I do not," Reese said softly.
"Yeah I usually have everything with me for emergencies, like this." Richter responded while getting a piece of paper and pen out of his bag and giving it to Reese.
After another short explanation by Reese she hands Richter the piece of paper with the instructions written on it. Her writing was very neat and almost cursive, every dot for the letter "i" was a heart.
"OK, thank you again Reese!" Richter said with a assuring smile on his face.
"No problem! Always glad to help people in need!" Reese reassured Richter.
"Well it is time to part ways again," the young man exclaimed with a little sadness in his voice.
"Yeah I suppose it is..." the fair girl agreed, her voice also filled with a hint of sadness. After an awkward silence, Richter decided to take the initiative and started going his way leaving a saddened Reese behind.
