Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon
NOTE: This is one big story all about the processes of Blade's life and it took a VERY long time to think up and idea for this. I am sorry for not being able to write to you guys but I have been busy with other stuff. Since there is only one story, there will be advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is that I can place my sole importance and time onto one fic. This is also why I deleted all my other fanfics created in the past. A disadvantage is that it could become too lengthy and might decrease the viewers. If you have anything else to say about this, just R+R and I will listen to your advice.
This story will go into vast detail about how Blade Star's life was. Even before he was born! All the way from the beginning to the end, that is if we have an end anyway! I hope you enjoy the fanfic B.L.A.D.E!

Chapter 1: When it all Began
This is where it all starts, the beginning of Pokémon for a young boy. His name is Blade Star. Years on, nobody would think that this innocent and kind child would hold the potential to become one of the greatest Pokémon trainers in the world. With the pokémon world becoming more notorious at the minute with outraged pokémon and evil organisations, pokémon trainers were becoming rarer at the minute. Until one man stood up to them.
David Star, Blade Star's father, was the greatest Pokémon master in the entire region of Sinnoh and possibly the greatest trainer known to man. He literally destroyed Team Galactic HQ without breaking a sweat. After, he single-handedly brought down the organization. He lived at the near outskirts of Veilstone City in a beautiful villa. This caused an outbreak of justice. It was too much publicity from the journalists, the good crowds like the citizens nearby and the bad crowd.
The bad crowd was other evil organizations with a higher reputation like Team Rocket, Team Aqua and Magma even worked together to bring down their biggest threat. With the major-leagued criminals and the leader of Team Galactic escaped from prison. They were going to make a special visit to David and to bring him down for good. The news of the attack went worldwide as David Star was such a national hero. Here is what happened:
Flashback:
Outside David's house
All around the home, the biggest names in criminal history came by to give him a 'warm' welcome. This included a full-scale break-in just to make sure there was no way of him remembering or even living through this tragedy.
Giovanni: Don't you think we are over-reacting by destroying the place, why don't we just kidnap him then take him back to base for questioning and a silent kill, Cyrus aren't you over-reacting?
Cyrus: That is a very bad approach. HE managed to destroy my organization in one breath. I want his soul to burn and perish in hell after I kill him myself! So what if we have a 72 SAS gunnery team to raid in? So what if we have 50 trained Rocket trainers with fully evolved pokémon that could destroy the entire nation? SO WHAT! HE destroyed my entire organization! I barely escaped from maximum security prison! I think that if we took him back, he would destroy our base and furthermore, get ourselves locked up! I need to kill this man!
NOTE: THIS IS REAL! A REAL POKÉMON ORGANIZATION WOULD HAVE GUNS AND WEAPONARY FOR 'SECURITY MEASURES.' JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU GUYS KNOW, THANK YOU!
Giovanni: Fine. But if he lives through this, god knows how, we leave the guy alone. He causes too much publicity and is a major risk to our organizations altogether!
Cyrus: Let me bring out my Pokémon first.
Cyrus, with his paranoid-self, went full-throttle and brought his 6 strongest: a Tyranitar, Rampardos, Charizard, Gengar, Houndoom and Garchomp. He wanted no survivors.
Inside the house:
David was asleep; he was too busy dreaming about how good his life is and how good it was going to be for him. On the outside of the house however he heard a countdown from 3...
SAS: 3!
Rocket Trainers: 2!
Giovanni: 1!
Cyrus: NO SURVIVORS!
Cyrus had a full-scale operation and his Tyranitar had destroyed the door, thus smashing it through the nearest wall. The SAS team wasted no time rushing through the building. In no time, David dived out of his sleep after hearing the shouting and gunshots. Yes, gunshots. He rapidly grabbed his PokéBelt and called out a beige-coloured bird with pink and yellow streaks growing from its head. This Pokémon is known as a Pidgeot.
David: C'mon, we have got to stop them! Pidgeot use Gust on the SAS Rocket team!
A strong wind bellowed from Pidgeot's wings and knocked-out the SAS team since they don't have protection from Pokémon attacks.
David: You did it! Great job!
Everything was ok for a small period of time until, a Dragon Pulse had enveloped David then making Pidgeot lose control and tailspin into the forest whilst David was smashed head-first into glass in which the shards of broken glass had then enveloped David. He was barely conscious and bleeding. All was calm upstairs until a Fire Blast was fired from downstairs- burning the support which then caved-in the first-floor which David was standing on. The good thing is that this it had knocked the other trainers out of consciousness. The bad news is that David was knocked out and Cyrus was still standing but barely.
Cyrus: Finally, I had brought you down. I brought you down the same way you brought down the organization. I am sure you will not live through this but just to make sure. Garchomp, crush this puny fool with a Stomp attack.
When all time seemed as if there was no way of surviving. David closed his eyes and braced himself for the doom he was about to face. But before this could happen, something FASTER than a speeding bullet had crushed Garchomp and basically killed Cyrus whose head got impaled with a long stick of wood.
How did this happen?
10 minutes ago:
Pidgeot had seriously been knocked out. It had cuts and bruises all over its body. He was knocked clear out Eterna City. So the bird pokémon braced itself and rushed back over to Veilstone City using an attack combination of Aerial Ace, Brave Bird, and Quick Attack. It was so fast; it had started to envelop itself in silver and charge through a barrage of trees, under bridges creating a current of wind that caused difficulties to other trainers crossing the marsh lake thingy!
Trainer 1: Ahh! Was that a legendary pokémon I never seen anything go so fast in my entire life!
Trainer 2: No. It's just a highly-trained Pidgeot.
Trainer: Ohh. I'm gonna catch a Pidgey so it can be just like that!
9 minutes later, the majestic bird had made its landmark target on the psychotic ex-ruler of Team Galactic and the Garchomp that nearly killed David Star.
After, the Pidgeot had helped David up who was heavily bleeding and couldn't last much longer. They both had drifted into unconsciousness knowing this is their last stand so he could mutter only 2 words.
David: Thanks... Pidgeot...
9 hours later, David Star woke up in a hospital bed. He had bandages all over his body. The first face he saw was probably the prettiest face he had seen in years.
She had long dark, chocolate brown hair coming down to her shoulders. Emerald green eyes that glistened with fear and sorrow. Her body was slightly tanned and she was about 6"2 in her surgeon's uniform. Her name was Mary and she was the one taking care of David.
David felt as if he was in heaven. Looking at her angelic face he could only stutter:
David: Am I dead?
Mary: (blushes) No, silly. But you nearly were. You had suffered from major lacerations and if we didn't treat you immediately, you would have died from internal bleeding.
David: Miss, is my Pidgeot ok. It saved my life. I hope it hasn't...
Mary: Don't worry; Pidgeot had been taken to the Pokémon Centre for treatment. He will be just fine.
David: Thank you so much. How can I repay you? You saved me and my starter Pokémon's life!
Mary: Well you could take me out on Friday at 5:30. We can talk then.
David: Good. It's a date!
Mary: As soon as you're better though! Are you hungry?
David: Yeah I am. Thanks.
Mary: I will go get you something to eat. Bye.
David: Bye.
Blade: I'm sure this is my story! Not yours. IT'S NOT FAIR!
David: Shut up son, the chapter hasn't even finished yet. Stop panicking! I cannot wait until you get older!
Blade: Whatever.
David had a miraculous recovery as Mary and Pidgeot simultaneously saved his life. Mary brought Pidgeot in on Thursday since he healed a lot quicker than David so the both talked about how that even happened in the first place. So they turned on the television where the news went live about the situation.
On the TV:
Anchorman: Hello and welcome to PokéNews. Where we bring all the latest news and gossip available. Let's head to our reporter, what news have we got today?
Reporter 1: LIVE NEWS! 3 nights ago, David Star, national hero and renowned Pokémon Master was nearly killed yesterday by what seems to be an alliance of criminal organizations together to bring him down. This links to the Cyrus breakout and the bring-down of Team Galactic. Team Rocket, Team Magma and Aqua and former Galactic leader Cyrus were involved. Nobody except David and Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket had survived this tragedy but even leaders fall as...
Reporter 2: We found Cyrus dead. He was impaled by a wooden log from an extremely high velocity. It...
Reporter 1: WHY DID YOU TAKE MY LINE! I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT! (Snatches the paper out of Reporter 2's hand) TOUCH IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL BE IMPALED!
Reporter 2: (O.O) Okay...
Reporter 1: Seems that David Star is a national hero to the citizens of the world but a big threat and nuisance to the organizations in the world. He will become a target. What will national security do about this? Looking at David's house, he has a BIG problem. It has absolutely...
TV OFF!
David: Hufff... Pidgeot we can play outside tomorrow but somewhere where we won't get caught by paparazzi. OK?
Pidgeot: OK!
When David got up the next day, he felt different. He felt like a new man; a normal man! This also made him think that it was time to settle down. At the age of 25 and already a Pokémon master, he can retire knowing that he has achieved his goal! He also knew that it would be too dangerous in the future as he wasn't as fast as he used to be and he was more determined too. Everything seemed too easy for him. So it was time to retire.
When he got downstairs, everybody cheered for him because he lived through such an ordeal. And there was his prize. That beautiful woman he saw when he woke up. The same lady that saved his life. The rest of the people in the room were cheering and taking photos of David.
Later that day, they were at a field where nobody else was. David explained to Mary about how he became a Pokémon Master and about how he wished to be treated like a normal person. Mary felt the same way because when she was younger she was a top coordinator and she became a doctor to get away from it all. Since they understood each other so well they had started dating often. 7 years later, David and Mary got married. 4 years after that, Blade Star was FINALLY born. 2 years later, they had a little girl called Slash and finally 2 years after that; they had a little boy named Sam. They moved to Canalave City after Blade was born to give them a nicer environment to live in. Again, they bought a big house on the outskirts near a lush lake and peaceful field. It was a paradise for running a family.
18 YEARS LATER:
At the outskirts of Canalave City, a 7 yr old boy named Blade Star woke up at 6 AM. It was his birthday. He was hoping to get his first Pokémon today. Dashing in an ecstasy of excitement, he went outside to the field. Screaming to the world that it is his birthday. This had shocked his little sister out of sleep.
His sister Slash was only 5 years old yet she was LOADS more mature than Blade will probably ever be. She had perked her head outside her window to see her hyperactive brother 'letting off steam.'
Slash: Happy birthday Blade!
Blade: Hi Slash! You have a bed-head again.
Looking at her hair, Slash realised that it was more frazzled than an Electabuzz with rabies. That's if an Electabuzz can get rabies anyway.
Slash: HEY! YOU'RE A MEANIE! But that is true. I am going to have a look for mum and dad, be right back bro.
Blade: Ok.
Rushing around the house, Slash couldn't find her parents anywhere around the house. He couldn't even find her 3 year old baby brother who is nowhere to be seen.
Slash: Blade!
Blade: Yeah.
Slash: Mum and dad aren't in the house! So is Sam, he's gone too.
Blade: Follow me.
Blade and Slash had walked away from the house to the field which always made you feel calm and relaxed. There were playful grass-type Pokémon playing nicely within the field and Bug-type Pokémon resting in the trees and shade. Eventually, they had come across a desolate yet peaceful meadow full of blossoming flowers. This was where many Budew, Roselia and Roserade had lived with the Cherrim and Cherubi. At the end of the meadow, were 3 figures.
Blade: HEY! I think that's mum and dad.
Slash: Your right! Sam is here too!
They had both rushed to see their parents and their younger brother who was waiting for them. There was David and Mary Star. Their appearances hadn't changed a bit and they didn't look a day over 25.
David and Mary: Happy Birthday Blade!
Sam: YAYAYAY! BLADE!
Slash: We all got you a gift. Something that we ALL knew you would enjoy.
Mary: Here you go son, happy birthday!
Blade had been given a rectangular gift box. The wrapping paper was a combination of black, red and yellow. He had carefully opened the box to see what was inside and at that moment, his eyes started to shine.
Blade: You didn't?
David: We did. We understand how we know how much you enjoy Pokémon so we thought we would give you a head-start in training.
Blade Star always had a great interest in Pokémon training. He loved to play and learn everything about it. One of his favourite things he loved to do was ride his father's Pidgeot around the city, it made him feel alive. He was even aloud to have Pokémon battles with his dad. All he would have to do is check what moves the Pokémon chosen had then they would just battle.
Flashback:
Blade was only 5 years old at this moment in time of the flashback. It was his first Pokémon battle and he was very excited.
David: Over here I have a battling arena. This is where I can challenge people in the neighbourhood to a battle. But for you, I can show you more.
In Blade's parent's room, it was very spacious and had lots of room. Nobody except David knew why. There was an extremely long safe that you would type your security number on.
David: Do you know how if I type one code, all my valued items are in as normal- right?
Blade: Yeah.
David: Well if I type another special code that nobody knows about, then it becomes a door for all my Pokémon needs. My real life Pokémon Storage!
Blade: WOW! Dad that's so cool!
Inside this area was out 20 shelves full of Pokémon and extra supplies. There was also an egg. It was almost like a special hideout because there was a TV, fridge and even an Xbox 360 in the room.
David: I will give you the choice of choosing one Pokémon to use. But it's random so it brings a twist. After you choose the Pokéball, show it to me and release it.
Blade had went to pick up a random Pokéball and then called it out.
Blade: Pokémon, I choose you!
The glow had taken its shape and an orange weasel with a yellow float around its neck with mini blue fins at the edge of its hands. This pokémon is known as a Buizel.
David: Quiz! What pokémon is it and what's its type?
Blade: I KNOW THIS ONE! It's a Buizel and a water-type pokémon.
David: Good job, that's correct! Meet you at the battlefield!
At the Battlefield:
Blade: Are you ready to lose? GO, BUIZEL!
David: Go, Pokémon!
David's pokémon was a Scizor. It had metallic-red armour all over its body and menacing claws that probably could break through mountains.
Blade: Buizel, start this off with Aqua Jet!
David: Use Harden Cannon! (Harden + Flash Cannon)
Buizel rushes towards Scizor in a spiral of water at a breakneck pace but before impact, Scizor's armour had hardened- taking the hit before launching a glowing beam towards the weasel pokémon.
Blade: Buizel! You okay?
The Buizel had nodded with acceptance and continued fighting.
David: Use Swords Dance!
In an instant, Scizor had started doing this weird dance whilst sharpening its claws.
Blade: Use a Water Pulse followed by a SonicBoom!
David: Use Charge Beam and Double Hit to knock the combination back to Buizel!
The electrified Water Pulse was sent back to Blade with twice the power and double the danger.
Blade: Buizel, dodge it then use Ice Beam!
The Buizel had dodged the attack and then fired a piercing beam of ice. Before noticing that the attacks literally bounced off the ground and into the air to sustain damage from powerful attacks.
David: Use Giga Impact and absorb the Ice Beam! Blade your finished now!
He knew that if he shot an attack straight-on, then Scizor would just absorb it. The only way to hurt him would be to hit him from underneath.
Blade: THAT'S IT! Buizel use Aqua Jet and don't move until I tell you to.
The two attacks were racing towards eachother to deal the final blow. When they were at about an inch apart, something big happened.
Blade: NOW! Swerve underneath Scizor and use Ice Pulse! (Ice Punch + Water Pulse)
Buizel's water acrobatics had been used at an advantage by swerving the direction of Aqua Jet, striking Scizor with a painful, combo attack! The Scizor came crashing down at a dangerous speed by a powerful combination attack. To top things off, it was frozen as well!
David: I have to say, that was a very smart move! But you're not gonna win yet! Scizor, Hyper Charge and Quick Attack! (Hyper Beam + Charge Beam)
In 10 seconds, many things happened. The Scizor had broken though the ice and sent a streak of lightning towards Buizel, thus paralyzing it. Then it rushed towards Buizel at lightning speed charging its Hyper Beam.
Blade: It ends now. Finish off with Aqua Pulse! (Aqua Jet + Water Pulse)
In another 5 seconds it all ended.
David: FIRE!
The hyper beam had blasted through the field and found its target. This 'target' however, was reckless enough to go through the hyper beam. The sheer power was holding Buizel back as he couldn't hold on anymore.
Blade: NOO! Don't give up!
The Buizel had no energy left as the Hyper Beam subsided there was an unconscious pokémon in the middle of the field.
Buizel: Bui, Bui. (Is it over?)
David: I have to say. That was a great battle! I cannot believe how you managed to find a weak spot in the Giga Impact! You have a talent. You are going to be a really good Pokémon trainer when your older.
Blade: (eyes sparkling) you really think so!
David: I don't think so, I know so.
Blade: Thanks Dad... Now let's get Buizel to a Pokémon Centre.
End Flashback
Inside the box was a Pokéball. One large one and 2 smaller ones (the large ones have a Pokémon inside the smaller ones don't.) The gift box had 2 compartments. Blade opened the lower compartment to see that there was $5000 PokéMoney (or whatever the currency is.)
Blade: WHOA! I have so much money! How did you get this!
Mary: Having a Pokémon is a great responsibility so if anything goes wrong, you can afford to buy any supplies needed to survive.
Blade: Thanks! This is the best day ever! Let's see what Pokémon I have.
After he picked up the Pokéball. A courageous feeling spreaded across Blade. He felt as if he could do almost anything! He threw the Pokéball in the air and shouted:
Blade: Pokémon, I choose you!
A glistening white glow had jumped out of the Pokéball and formed into a Pokémon. It looked like a puppy that could stand up. Its main colour was blue and black with piercing red-eyes.
Blade: It's a Riolu! This is awesome!
David: We both thought that this was a good Pokémon to choose. It is a powerful Pokémon.
Mary: And it also is a safe and playful Pokémon as well. So you won't get hurt around it. That is why we didn't want you to have the Pokémon that you first thought of.
Flashback:
Blade: Mum, Dad? Can I have a Cranidos?
David: A Cranidos would be too dangerous! And a fossil Pokémon so it would be too expensive.
Mary: How about a Pichu?
Blade: Awww! What about a Dratini? They are nice and safe!
David: That is a Dragon-type all the way in Kanto! And they evolve into a Dragonite and they are known to lose control and cause a rampage all the time!
Blade: What about a Bagon?
David: Are you obsessed with Dragon-types? They are too expensive and only experienced trainers can control one!
Blade: Arrghh...
End Flashback:
Slash: I can't wait until I get my first Pokémon!
Mary: Do you people want to know another funny thing?
Blade: What?
David: You are going to a Pokémon School to learn the basics on becoming a trainer.
Blade: WHAT!
Mary: It would give you some experience.
Blade: But can't dad just teach me, he was a successful Pokémon Master and I would learn loads more from him than somebody I don't know.
Slash: He has a point you...
David: Be quiet Slash, you are going to that school since you have no reason to stay at home all the time!
Slash: Buttt...
David: But nothing! Besides, this would benefit you in the long-run anyway. So don't worry about anything. By the way, I need everybody except Blade to leave I want to talk to him in private.
Blade: Dad, what is it?
David: I am not really going to train you. The only way somebody can bond with their Pokémon is if they learn by themselves and experience the time as if you was really on your journey. So I am sending you to Iron Island for 2 years.
Blade: WHAT! NO WAY!
David: This way, you would get hands-on experience when you are alone. I know an old friend who you will be training with. At least with this training, I won't have to worry about you as much too so we all benefit from it in our own ways.
Blade: Thanks Dad, when will I be leaving?
David: Next week at 10:30 AM so don't be late and make sure you are up early.
Blade: Ok, what are we doing next?
David: Well, you could start training now but I think...
Mary: BBLLLLLLLAAAAADDDDDDEEEEE! GET IN HERE NOW!
Blade: oOk.
In the Kitchen:
Mary: I heard about where you are going next week.
Blade: YEAH! I can't wait!
Mary: But do you think that I am going to let you roam free in the world without being able to cook, dress and bring a good daughter-in law home!
Blade: MOM! When do I have to do this? ¬_¬
Mary: As soon as you return from your 2-year training trip. You will have 1 year worth of my 'lessons' with me. Then you would have turned 10 and we both can finally trust you in the Pokémon world all by yourself.
Blade: Ok, I suppose that would help. Can I train with Riolu now please?
Mary: Of course you can. Your manners are already good too!
Ignoring the compliment his mother gave to him, Blade had dashed to the field and sent out his Riolu.
Blade: Hi Riolu.
The Riolu just stared at him for a moment then emanated a bright blue glowing light. He was sensing the aura of Blade to see if he was with a pure and happy person. After that was done, Riolu had leapt into Blade's arms literally tackling him to the floor. I think we all know what this means.
Blade: HAHHAHAHAHHHA! Riolu that tickles!
The Pokémon had laughed with him and they seemed to be getting on very well. They both knew that this is the start of a new friendship.
David: BLADE! The professor has come to see you! Hurry up!
Blade: I'm coming! Let's go Riolu!
Riolu had noticed this and went a little too fast since he used a Quick Attack to get there as fast as possible.
Blade: Come on, wait for me!
Outside their house was Professor Rowan, the professor of this region. The main person who wanted to speak to them was Professor Oak who was walking to the house at this moment.
David: Long time no see, Professor Oak!
Professor Rowan: I'm sure I was the one who...
Professor Oak: Why I would be glad to come into your house, David. One second.
Mary: You can come in too sir.
Slash: I wonder what everybody is doing; it is not often that professors are willing to come to a stranger's house.
Professor Oak: Anyway, we have heard about how your son is aspiring to become a Pokémon master. What's your name young man?
Blade: Blade Star. I got my first Pokémon today! It's a Riolu.
Professor Rowan stared at the pokémon for a second and Riolu nervously walked away.
Professor Rowan: Why that is an incredibly healthy pokémon you have there, treat it with care.
Blade: I will sir.
Professor Oak: Also, I thought that whilst I'm here that I should bring a gift so I brought some research books to help you on your training.
Professor Rowan: And I have brought you a Pokédex. Since you will be in Iron Island, there will be a vast majority of Pokémon to record there with packs full of valuable information for your use anytime.
Blade: Wow. I don't know how to thank you guys...
David: Just help us by making the most of everything you learn.
Slash: WHAT! THAT'S NOT FAIR!
Blade: Life's not fair!
Slash: HEY!
Professor Oak: WELL! Look at the time, we best be going. See you guys later!
Everybody else: Bye Professor Oak, bye Professor Rowan!
Mary: And make sure this isn't put completely to waste. Make the most of it.
Blade: Don't worry, I won't...
David: Good. Now you can research on information that could improve your battling skills. And with your mother's lessons after, I'm sure that you won't have any problem at all.
Blade: True, true. What else are we doing today?
Mary: Well, I was thinking we should go to the mall and buy you some clothes before you leave.
Slash: WERE GOING SHOPPING!
Slash absolutely loved shopping. It was the one thing other than annoying Blade that made her feel happy. No matter how bad the situation was. Her eyes would glisten brighter than flashlights all the time.
Flashback:
Slash: WAAHAHHAHAHAHHAAH! I LOST MY TOY!
Mary: It's ok, it's alright. How about I take you shopping!
Slash perked up straight away and was better right at that second.
Slash: OK! Thanks mum!
End Flashback:
Mary: NO! Not for you, for Blade. He won't be in the house for 2 whole years! I have to get him something!
Slash: OK!
Blade: See you guys later! BYE!
Sam: BYE BLADE! BYE MOMMY!
Blade: Riolu, where are you?
Because he has been so excited from all the presents, he didn't realise that Riolu was nowhere to be found. That is until Riolu jumped on Blade's back.
Blade: OWW! Do you have to always do that!
The Riolu just kept on laughing non-stop until Blade returned it to its Pokéball.
Canalave City was quite compact but for a good reason. Where Blade lived, there were a bunch of markets around there. Near the entrance to Canalave there are the docks, that is where Blade will be leaving next week. But right in the middle of the town, were the main attractions. The Pokémon Centre, Byron's Pokémon Gym and the massive shopping resort.
Inside the shopping centre, there were over 300 stores all varying within popularity, wealth and customer satisfaction. Blade was simply astonished to see exactly how big the shop was no matter how many times he has been here.
Mary: Blade, we are going to the first floor. That is mainly based on clothing. Hurry up.
Blade wanted to hurry up and get clothes as quickly as possible. Then he could play with Riolu some more. When they reached the clothes store, they rushed to a section that said: 'Pokémon Trainer Clothing.' In that area were two tunnels, Male and Female. The manager thought that if they split it up then it would look more organised. He sure wasn't wrong about that.
There was a variety of clothes to choose from. But leave it to the mother to buy her son clothes. Not like she had a bad selection of taste. She was really good with choosing stuff for the kids.
Blade: Are we done yet? I want to go home and play with Riolu!
Mary: Stop being so impatient! I am nearly done, impatience is really bad!
Since there was no way for Blade to argue back, he had to wait. In about 20 minutes, they had finished buying the clothes, gave the cashier the money.
After that, Blade didn't really do much in the afternoon of his birthday. After they had reached home from the shop, he simply just went outside to play. At the same time, he wanted to practice his battling skills.
Blade: Let's use my Pokédex!
Name: Riolu
Known as: The Emanation Pokémon
Type: Fighting type
Evolution Chart: Riolu; Lucario
Attacks: Quick Attack, Aura Sphere, Foresight, Endure, Force Palm, Bullet Punch and Blaze Kick.
Riolu has the power to see emotions like joy and rage in the form of waves.
NOTE: In the anime, the pokémon have more than 4 attacks so I think it's fair if my fanfic allows this as well.
Blade: WOW! You are a strong guy, aren't you!
Riolu: Yes, yes I am.
Blade: Wait, you can talk?
Riolu: I am not speaking to you. We are talking through our minds. I can telepathically talk to people I trust.
Blade: Cool. Let's train.
They started walking along the meadow to see that there was a Roselia.
Riolu: Let's attack that Roselia. Use Force Palm!
The Riolu had paralyzed the Roselia straight-on with a powerful Force Palm attack. Before they could attack again, the Roselia limped into the meadow- disappearing in the flowers.
Blade: You shouldn't have done that. Now you are going to fight the leader of the grass pokémon here. A Roserade. All the Bug and Grass pokémon live here and are protected by it. You better be prepared. SO LEEEEETTTT'S BATTLE!
Riolu: It's ok. I mean, what's the worst that's going to happen? We get ambushed?
In an instant, a Roserade and 3 Roselia's jump onto Blade and Riolu.
Blade: Riolu, get them off me using Blaze Kick!
Riolu's leg was encased in fire and had connected with the aggressor's face.
Riolu: What do you want with us?
Roserade: You attacked one of us, you attack me. And you don't want to attack me.
Blade: What did he say?
Riolu: He wants to battle us. Me versus their leader.
Roserade: If you win, we let you go if not, then- well that would be a surprise for you both.
Riolu: If we win, we are allowed to go. If we don't, something bad will happen.
Blade: If it's a battle you want, then it's a battle you're gonna get!
Roserade: Let's go. Energy Ball!
Blade: Riolu, dodge and use Quick Attack!
The energy ball was dodged and Riolu raced and crashed into Roserade.
Roserade: We'll see about that! Poison Jab!
Blade: Use Blaze Kick!
Riolu had tried to get Roserade who was burned from the kick skimming her legs catching fire slowly. But took a full-pelted Poison Jab before being knocked to the floor.
Blade: Are you ok?
Riolu: I'm fine but that really hurt.
Blade: Just hang in there! Use Bullet Palm! (Bullet Punch + Force Palm)
In a flash faster than a bullet; an electrifying punch had crossed with Roserade's head knocking her back a little.
Roserade: Your not bad. I might enjoy this battle. Sunny Day!
Riolu: Me too. AHHH! The sun is so bright!
The sun had reached its brightest peak which increases the power of fire-type moves and does something else for the other types.
Roserade: Weather Ball.
Blade: Watch out! Dodge and use Quick Attack!
The weather connected to the ground causing a splash of fire around the field where Riolu was just standing. It then moved like a blur and attacked the Rose Pokémon.
Roserade: I'm not losing this, SolarBeam!
Due to the fact that when Sunny Day is activated, it only takes one turn to use SolarBeam. Riolu didn't see it coming.
Blade: WATCH OUT!
The sheer power had thrown the Riolu halfway across the meadow in mid-air nearly crushing to the ground.
Roserade: Looks like this battle is over. Everybody finish him!
Blade: Come on Riolu. I know you can get up, please get up!
Riolu: I'm okay. But I cannot last any longer. It's time to finish this.
Blade: YES! Riolu use Blaze Kick!
Roserade: I thought he was down! Arrghh! I'm ending this! SolarJab! (SolarBeam + Poison Jab)
Blade: Use Endure! Just try.
Riolu had taken Roserade's attack head-on. It was almost as bad as the recent SolarBeam.
Roserade: Impossible. Nobody should be able to last that long! I'm not risking anything. Everyone, attack!
A barrage of Roselia's, Cherrim and the one Roserade attacked using Energy Ball. The battle had eventually turned into a slaughter-fest.
Blade: RIOLU! WATCH OUT!
The Riolu had used Reversal. An attack that increases if the user has less HP. All of a sudden, a burst of energy had imploded around Riolu. The blast had knocked out all the Roselia and Cherrim sending them flying! As for Roserade, she was on her last stand.
Roserade: NO! This cannot happen! LEAF STORM!
As soon as Roserade pointed her arm towards Blade and Riolu, a surge of electricity like a spark had stopped it in her tracks.
Blade: Wait a second, the Force Palm. You did it Riolu! Are you ok? Riolu?
Riolu: Did. I. Win...?
Blade: Yeah but first, we need to get you to a Pokémon Centre. We need to take Roserade there too.
Grabbing the Roserade and Riolu, Blade had dashed through the meadow at a blinding speed down to the city where the Pokémon Centre was.
In the Pokémon Centre:
Nurse Joy: Hello and welcome to our Pokémon Centre! How may I help you?
Blade: My pokémon Riolu had got caught in a wild pokémon battle in the meadow against this Roserade. They both look really hurt, can you help them?
Nurse Joy: Ok. Chansey, we have 2 patients.
A fat, pink rabbit looking thing with a pouch holding an egg wobbled with Nurse Joy.
Chansey: (Yes Nurse Joy!)
Outside the OR:
Blade felt as if the world came crashing down. He could have stopped them. He could have stopped his Riolu from getting hurt. It was a new pain he felt. It didn't feel like guilt, it felt a lot worser than guilt. His stomach felt twisted and turned. He didn't know what to do, what if it got worse? He wished that his dad was here to help him out.
Instead, Nurse Joy had come out.
Nurse Joy: I'm glad to tell you that Riolu is alright. He will be completely refreshed by morning but not completely healed until next week. As for the Roserade, it has sustained serious injury and will be here for the next few months. I'm glad you had the consideration to bring a pokémon that wasn't yours. BUT, make sure you take better care of your Riolu next time!
Blade: Thanks Nurse Joy, and don't worry, I will.
?: Excuse me.
Blade: I know you! Your our town's gym leader, Byron!
Byron: Yes I am! I had seen your pokémon battle against that Roserade. I have to say that you have potential kid. Because you do realise that not only I saw it but it caused a lot of noise so it has been recorded on TV to be shown tonight in 10 minutes! What's your name?
Blade: Blade, Blade Star. Oh no, if my parent's see this then I'm doomed! I have to stop them from watching the news!
Byron: Okay, I will keep that in mind when you challenge me.
Blade: Don't worry, I'm going to challenge you first as soon as I turn 10!
Byron: I will look forward to that challenge.
At Blade's house 40 minutes later:
David: Time to watch the news. Wonder what has happened today?
Slash: Are we all watching it?
Mary: Yes. Dinner's ready by the way, we are having Pizza!
Slash: YAY! Pizza!
Blade: Hey guys, I'm home! Is dinner ready?
SAM: PIZZAAAAA!
David: And the news is about to be on as well!
Blade: NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Slow motion)
Slash: What's with the slow motion shouting? You look weird.
TV ON!
Anchorman: Hi I am your anchorman and welcome to PokéNews where we talk about the latest news, gossips and events happening in the Pokémon world. To start off with, the Pokémon League has decided to have 4 separate champions for each region. Pokémon Champion Lance has been relocated to the Kanto Region whilst Cynthia, our newest champion will be in control of the Sinnoh Region. In other news, it looks as if extreme Pokémon battling runs in the family. In Canalave City a few hours ago, a 7 yr old boy named Blade Star- son of our greatest champion David Star was caught in the heat of battle. We will head to our reporters to show you more detail.
Everybody in the room had looked at Blade Star with a stern but playful look, with his mother and father giving them a look saying watch what happens to you when this is finished.
Reporter: In this very meadow, is the very spot where Blade Star had his epic battle between him and a gang of grass pokémon. It seems that the Roserade was the leader against the young child's Riolu. Through this field is the very house where David Star former champion lived and is still undefeated to this very day!
Blade: THAT'S OUR MEADOW! One second guys, I'm going to sort it!
Mary: Yes you will because if you don't, watch what's coming for you!
On the meadow:
Reporter 1: We are about to head towards David Star's massive house. A very good place to run a family- I tell you that! I think that is Blade Star coming out right now!
Blade: Hi. Um this is private property and my father would like you to leave thank you.
Reporter 1: I'm terribly sorry about that, I just wanted to ask some questions. How did you get such a powerful pokémon, Blade?
Blade: Today was my 7th birthday and I got Riolu for a present from my parents.
Reporter 1: Could you please show us your Riolu please? I think everybody would love to see him!
Blade: Come on out Riolu!
The Riolu who still looked half-tired had appeared and felt nervous around all the people he didn't know and stayed close to Blade.
Reporter 1: Well isn't he just cute? Anyway, to all you viewers- this is the battle footage of Blade and Roserade.
The video had shown everything from Roserade trapping Blade and Riolu; to the moment where Roserade falls and Riolu triumphs. They even managed to get a shot of him running to the pokémon centre.
Blade: HEY! IM ON TV! HEY YOU GUYS!
Reporter 1: This is all I can show you guys today, reporter out!
The reporter had left the area into a helicopter that is currently flying away.
Mary: Hey Blade!
Blade: Yes, mum?
Mary: Your pizza is getting cold, so HURRY UP AND EAT IT!
Blade: oOk mum.
Slash: That pizza was awesome! Thanks mum!
David: Blade. I never knew you could fight like that. You are only seven and you are better than many other trainers I know now! Well done, your grounded.
Blade: Thanks, thank you and WHAT!
David: Don't you WHAT me! Your grounded in your room. Do you realise how much trouble you have caused for our family?
Blade: I didn't know anybody was watching and to be honest I just wanted to escape I didn't want anyone else knowing.
David: Oh. Ok. Just. Go. To. Your. Room. NOW!
Blade: WOW. Best. Birthday. Ever!
Slash: Why? Is. Everybody. Talking. Like. This. I. Want. Ice. Cream!
Sam: This. Is. FUN. I. Like. Ice. Cream.
Blade: I. Am. Going. To. My. Room.
In Blade's Room:
Blade's room was huge! It had posters of famous pokémon trainers and legendary pokémon all over the ceiling. His bed had the top-quality mattress with a quilt of him flying on his Pidgeot with this dad (hand-crafted personally by the way!:D) Right next to his bed, there was a poster of his dad as the champion. The wallpaper was a sophisticated black and white background. He had a black and yellow chair near his window where there was an excellent view stretching as far as the edge of Canalave. On the other side, there was a 3DHDTV stretching about 50'' on the wall. Underneath it, is a Blu-Ray DVD player, Xbox 360 and PokéWatch HD Box (TV Boxset for Pokémon) He laid down on his chair and had a long think about next week. He was excited and thrilled but at the same time, today's experiences had taken a real toll on Blade. He instantly became more mature realising how big the responsibility of having a pokémon would be. For some, it would be easier to have another child! The main point was that Blade instantly changed into a better and more prepared person. He had dropped asleep- deep in thought about what he was going to do as a trainer.
On the day before he had to leave, he spent most of his time researching on pokémon in his books that Professor Oak had given him. It had everything from the basics of each type of pokémon to using the environment to your advantage. He had put this into practice noticing that it actually works. There was one book that he was most interested in. It was all about his father's pokémon style. A book wrote solely by him. He also tried expanding the style of combining moves together to make them more effective. The book says: 'For example, Aura Sphere and Force Palm could be combined to create a paralyzing effect and to speed up the attack whilst Fire Blast and Water Pulse wouldn't work due to the laws of elements. A psychic-type pokémon can use this method to the fullest potential by bending these laws with telekinesis powers. So you could combine water and fire together by controlling the attack to change the form and shape. So if you used Dark Pulse, Psychic, Flamethrower and Water Pulse together, Dark Pulse could be transformed into a cage of darkness or the flamethrower could turn into a hurricane of fire. The possibilities were and still are endless. This is why witches were feared especially as pokémon trainers because they simply had control of everything and was in total sync with the elements. This is another reason why in the past, psychic-types were feared and known as the elite. For a pokémon that is not a psychic-type to learn this required a lot of skill never mind the power to use psychic to its fullest potential to be able to control the elements. A pokémon trainer needs their pokémon to have perfect skill and perfect sync with their trainer to perfect this. Most people in the world dedicate their lives to find out these secrets. My father dedicated his and solved it thus, passing it down to me.' David Star; descendant of Tom 'James' Star master of the combination method.
Blade was astonished that Professor Oak had an original copy of his father's book. This just made him feel more confident and ambitious to complete his quest to become the world's greatest pokémon master there was. Maybe to even become better than his father who up to today is known as the world's greatest trainer in the world. When his sister was trying to annoy him, he ignored her knowing the fact that he knew better and he knew that this would definitely benefit him in the long-run anyway!
NOTE: There is a major reason why this story had been named B.L.A.D.E. It's because each letter stood for something. Something important. The B stands for beginning so to begin his journey and quest, to make a start to change the world. The L stands for learning and how no matter what happens; there will always be something to benefit and acknowledge from everything that happens: his wins and losses, his mistakes and triumphs. The A stands for achievements. For everything he has achieved. Everything he has won and something to be proud of. Every badge, every pokémon and every lesson learned. The D stands for determination, everything he has been through to get to where he is now, to never give up even in the darkest situations. Finally, the E stands for everything. All the hardships, all the celebrations, all the suffering all the good times and all the achievements and everything they have been through to completing their test of achieving their biggest goal.
The next day:
It was 8AM and Blade Star was ready to embark on a real-life experience that would change his life forever. He was all ready with his bags prepared. Even Riolu was excited to join his newest friend as a pokémon trainer. At the same time, he felt a little sad that he would leave his family behind but Slash made him instantly forget about this feeling. He wore a white jacket and trousers with orange pulse decorations echoing on his shirt. He wore an orange shirt underneath with white pulses around it. His Pokémon Bag was black with orange circles in a circular pattern. He was watching a Pokémon battle between a Rhydon and a Steelix until his mother called him for breakfast.
Mary: Blade! It's time for your breakfast now!
Blade: I'm coming, be right there!
His mother had made him some pancakes known to be some of the best in Canalave.
Slash: Mmm! This tastes amazing! Thanks mum!
Blade: This is delicious! Thanks a lot! I'm going to miss your cooking.
Mary: Why thank you so much Blade!
Blade: But I'm definitely not going to miss Slash!
Slash: HEY! YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE MEAN!
Blade: Only joking, of course I will miss you- you are my sister.
Slash: Thank you.
Blade: And I'm going to miss you too Sam!
Sam: BYEBYE! BLADE!
Blade: Thank you everyone. Thanks a lot. I have to meet dad on the way there anyway.
At about 10:25AM, Blade Star had casually walked down from his house all the way to the edge of the city. These were the docks and where they transported tourists, food, stored goods and more! The docks are the most important place in Canalave. He was about to head to the ferry to travel to Iron Island until his father stopped him.
David: Blade, we need a serious talk.
Blade: Ok. What's the matter?
David: I just want to tell you that I don't want this to go to your head too much. I want you to listen to everything that you learn there. And most importantly, I want you to be safe. Do you promise me that you'll stay safe no matter what happens?
Blade: I promise. Dad, I'm going to miss you.
David: I'm going to miss you too. Enjoy yourself as well!
Blade: Don't worry, I will.
Blade had walked away after he had his touching talk with his father. He had found his ferry after asking various people where it was. After the manager had recognised his ticket, he was allowed to enter.
The ferry had basic accommodation options. A choice of restaurants, cabins for those going to Iron Island since it's further than any tourist stops that most people are encouraged to go to. They had a viewpoint at the top where you could see the glistening sea. The water pokémon enjoying themselves in the ocean whilst many people could see flying-type pokémon float in the vast sky. Blade had let his Riolu out to experience the joy and excitement he was experiencing at this very moment. He could see the captain steering the ship smiling away.
Blade: Excuse me sir, how long will it take for us to get to Iron Island?
Captain: Why hello small child, it should only take about a few hours until we get there because we have really good weather. Hope you enjoy yourselves in the meantime.
Blade: Thank you so much.
Blade was extremely bored on his own with nobody to talk to so he had a quick tour around the ferry to find that there was a mini-gym for pokémon trainers to battle in. Just to see how many trainers there are shocked Blade alone. What shocked him more is that there was one trainer who thought he could dominate everybody.
Bad Trainer: I'm the best you all are the worst pokémon trainers I have ever seen in my life!
All the other trainers were about 10 years old and starting trainers who didn't know much whilst this guy has trained for two years straight so he is 12.
Blade: Leave them alone!
Bad Trainer: What is it? Does a pipsqueak like you wanna get battered in a pokémon battle so he can cry to his mommy? Awww, how cute!
Blade: Guarantee, my one and only pokémon could beat all yours!
Bad Trainer: Ok then! All three of them! Let's go! The loser gives away half their money as well! My name is Eric by the way!
Blade: Go Riolu!
Eric: Go, Staravia! Aerial Ace!
Blade: Riolu, use Bullet Punch and move into a quick attack!
Staravia may have been faster but it landed straight into Blade's bullet punch which sent the bird pokémon into the wall. In about 2 seconds, the emanation pokémon knocked out Staravia with a quick attack.
Eric: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! Go, Mothim!
The remaining trainers were cheering for Blade and laughing at Eric he started getting more serious and determined to bring Blade down to the ground.
Blade: Use Aura Sphere!
Eric: Mothim, dodge it and use Bug Bite!
Blade: Brace yourself with Counter. Then use Blaze Kick as soon as Mothim get's close to you.
Mothim's Bug Bite attack had took a serious affect on Riolu but the power was retracted back to Mothim- this stunned the Moth Pokémon long enough to get a direct hit with Blaze Kick.
Blade: YES! Well done, Riolu! You did great!
Eric: This isn't over. I underestimated you and you will pay dearly for everything! Go, Prinplup!
Blade: Let's check this with my Pokédex!
Name: Prinplup, the evolved form of Piplup
Known as: The Penguin Pokémon
Type: Water, Steel
Evolution Chart: Piplup, Prinplup and Empoleon.
Because every Prinplup thinks they are most important, they can never form groups.
Eric: You done. Prinplup use Metal Claw!
Blade: Riolu dodge that and use quick attack!
The claw had barely missed Riolu as the penguin pokémon was tackled by it.
Eric: Use Whirlpool to trap Riolu and stop it from moving!
Blade's Riolu has been trapped in a whirlpool- immobilized from the pressure of water.
Riolu: GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Eric: Let's finish this. Use Hydro Pump and Drill Peck and finish this!
Blade: Use Endure!
The Prinplup sent torrents of water to obliterate Riolu nearly drowning it. Then it screwdriver-dived into Blade's pokémon for a super-effective attack. If it wasn't for Endure, Riolu would be unable to battle by now.
Eric: It's all over loser. You lose I win! WAIT, WTF! HOW THE HELL IS IT STILL STANDING!
Blade: You did underestimate me. Now Riolu, end this with Reversal!
The emanation pokémon had the whole arena flash for a few seconds to see that Prinplup on the floor unable to battle.
Riolu: We won! YEAH!
Eric: NO WAY! Here is half my money. Get out my sight!
Blade walked outside and thought that if this was as good as he was now, after the next two years, he would be unstoppable! On his way back to the cabin, he had seen the captain.
Blade: Hey, I remember you! You're the captain!
Captain: Yep, that's right! By the way, I want you to look outside.
Blade had looked outside to see a massive rocky cavern full of boulders and a dock where people get off.
Blade: Is that Iron Island?
Captain: It sure is.
Blade: Yep. It sure is and I cannot wait!
