Have any of you ever heard of Pokémon Brick Bronze? If you didn't, then I don't blame ya. This game was released on Roblox, but due to copyright issues, it got shut down on April 18, 2018.
This story is gonna show my adventures of who my Roblox avatar was: a Team Valor Admin(I know Pokémon Go is dead, calm down XD). Without further ado, let's get started!
My Pokémon Brick Bronze team(I got past the 8th gym):
Greninja
Charizard
Nidoking
Rhydon
Tyrantrum
Aegislash
In the Pokémon world, there is one region that stands out above the other: Roria. This place is rare to find from other regions, and that is what makes it so special.
We now place attention to a little town called Mitis Town. Over there is a few houses all painted red, and the entrance to Route 1. There was another entrance to a digging site that is condemned, preventing people from entering.
Another addition to this town is the Pokémon lab, where people there will get to pick their very first Pokémon. But in one of the houses, there is only one that stands out above the rest.
-Nifty's POV-
My name is Nifty Weaka. I am 16 years old, and I was always looking forward to starting an adventure of my own. I have yellow-orange spiky hair, and my outfit consists of some red shorts and white shirt with some red on it. Why red, you may ask? In the middle of my shirt, it has the logo of Team Valor. These guys aren't an evil team, don't worry! Just like Team Mystic and Team Instinct, they are nice. I just wanted to sleep. I am not a morning person.
After a few more minutes of my beauty sleep, I heard my alarm clock ring. Perfect. I got pretty frustrated, so I tried to grab it, still with my eyes closed. Finally, I grab my stupid alarm clock and throw it out the window.
"Just give me a few more minutes..." I groaned. I turned over, I just want to sleep, for the love of Arceus. Wait a minute... TODAY'S THE DAY! I quickly get up, realizing something.
"Oh wait!" I shouted. I hopped out of bed and stood up, gaining a smile on my face
"I can't believe today has finally come! Today is the day I get my first Pokémon from the Pokémon Professor! I have always dreamed of setting out on an adventure with Pokémon by my side!" I exclaimed excitedly. I began to daydream about the many different kinds of Pokémon in the world. There used to be only 151 in this world, now it's estimated there's 802 of them in the whole world!
"There are so many Pokémon in this world. I hope to discover them all one day!" I said dreamily. I walk over and grab my yellow bag, which I had for a while whenever I traveled to other regions with my parents. Once I strip by bag down my left shoulder, I put my hands on my hips.
"Well, I better get going!" I said, and then I started humming a tune as I went downstairs. Wait, am I forgetting something? Oh my Arceus.
"Oh, I almost forgot! I need to fill out my trainer card!" I said to myself. I pull out my trainer card. I walk over to my small desk and grab a pencil. Now, should I put anything long? Eh, not that anyone would notice. Nifty. Did I write that correctly? Yeah, my name isn't that hard to spell. I put my trainer card by my bag as a keychain, so when people want to see me, they could look at it and recognize me.
"Awesome! I'm that much closer to becoming an official Pokémon trainer!" I exclaimed as I pumped my fist. I headed downstairs into the living room. My house was pretty small, and the kitchen and dining room right next to my living room. And, of course, my parents aren't here.
"Of course," I thought, "They're busy like always." Could I really blame them though? Don't get too judgmental! You see, my parents are archaeologists, so they are busy ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Once in a while, they come to spend time with me. Not as often as it used to be, I am 16 now.
But that wasn't the time to think. Now was the time to start my own adventure!
Once I went outside, I put on some sunglasses. No reason, I just think I look cool in them. I begin to hear someone shout my name.
"Hey, Nifty!" The voice shouted as the person with that voice ran over to me. The guy had straight blue hair, a short sleeve gray shirt, and some navy blue jeans. I smiled once I got to see him.
"Hi, Jake!" I greeted, "It's good to see ya!" Jake Caper was one of my best friends. Keyword: ONE. I have been his best friend since I was little. Once in while, we would visit each other and stay up late to talk about the adventures we would have. And today is finally the day!
"I can't believe we're getting our first Pokémon today! This is the day we dreamed of since we were kids!" Jake shouted in an excited tone.
"I know! I always thought of it, thinking to hope the day will come, and here we are now!" I said, opening my arms wide. Not to give him a hug, heck no. Although, I would give him one if he really needs one.
"I'm on my way to the lab to get mine right now!" Jake exclaimed, then jumped high in the air, not really caring of confusing the people around him.
"That's so cool, dude! This is gonna be amazing!" I shouted, putting my hand up in the air. Oh, my gosh, I cannot wait!
"Oh, yeah. Your parents wanted to see you before you went into the lab." Jake responded. Ah, yes. My parents. I bet they would want to see which Pokemon I would pick first. But they always wondered... who would I pick?
"Man, I can't really contain my excitement," I said with a shrug, "Oh, well. Parents before Pokémon."
"I saw them passing by my house earlier, heading towards the digging site." Jake explained.
"Thanks for the heads up, Jake." I said, giving my friend a thumbs up.
"You should hurry and go talk to them," Jake suggested, "I'll be waiting for you at the lab!" Jake began to walk to the Pokémon lab, and I stayed, not wanting to follow him just yet. I want to see my parents to see their reaction.
Just as I was about to go to the digging site to see my parents, I got startled by someone putting a hand on my right shoulder. Oh, great. He always does this...
"GAH!" I shouted. I turned around to my other best friend. This is why I said one of my best friends when Jake was introduced. My other friend here had blue hair that is just a little brighter though. He had a black short sleeve shirt with a Star Wars logo on it from the latest movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story. I ain't a Star Wars fan, but I watched a couple movies before in my life. This friend also had black pants and orange shoes, and an alien bag. Yep, that's him.
"Ugh. Sonic," I groaned, and this revealing his friend's name, "Do you have to keep doing that every time we see each other?"
"I just thought I'd surprise you like always." Sonic replied with a grin. He does this every time we meet, nothing too huge.
"You just don't give up." I said with a smirk. Sonic removes his hand off my shoulder. About time.
"Anyway, are you ready to start your adventure? I'm gonna come with you as well to start mine!" Sonic responded.
"I'll be at the lab soon, Sonic," I said to him, "I just need to go see my parents."
"Okay, so... I guess I'll see you there?" Sonic asked.
"Yep, I'll be there soon. Give give me a few minutes, 'kay?" I replied. Sonic nodded in agreement, and went to the lab to meet up with Jake. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, my parents.
I walked over to the digging site. Jake was right, my parents are here. The cave in front of them was blocked, so no one can go in. Why did they close it? I don't know.
Sally Weaka is my mom. She has brown hair that reaches down to her neck, and a beige hat. She also had a white buttoned short sleeve shirt, and beige shorts as well, along with some black shoes.
Jared Weaka is my dad. He also has brown hair, but is short. His brown hat prevents his hair from being seen. He wore a brown jacket and a black shirt, and wears long pants that are tan colored, and some black sneakers as well. Both of them looked at the condemned entrance to a cave, not knowing how to react to this. What is over there? Did someone die? I have no idea unless they tell me.
"Well, that oughta take care of it." Mom said to my dad.
"We have to keep this a secret, for everyone's safety."
"You're right. It's too dangerous for anyone to go out there."
"I don't think we should tell anyone about this."
"Maybe we can tell that new professor."
"Maybe you're right."
Okay, that's enough of this. I need to get their attention. My Pokémon journey starts here after all!
"Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" I exclaimed, interrupting their conversation. My parents noticed me and got surprised by his appearance. Was that too much? Ok, I'll shut up now.
"Oh, Nifty! You startled me!" Mom shouted, still a bit shocked from my sudden appearance.
"Hey, champ! Today's the day you get your first Pokémon!" Dad said.
"We are so happy for you, sweetie!" Mom added.
"Sorry we didn't meet you at home," Dad replied, "We just discovered something in the cave last night. As archaeologists, your mother and I are very thorough in our work." So that's what happened in the cave! Still not specific enough though...
"I don't blame you. I'm just very happy right now." I said, putting my hands behind my back.
"That's right, but enough talk," Mom responded, "Let's head down to the professor's lab and let you pick your very first Pokémon!"
"We'll see you there!" Dad added. Then he and mom walked over to the lab. Before I decided to follow them, I wanted to look at the cave. No, I'm not reckless enough to go check it out, but I can at least theorize. What kind of Pokémon could be there? A legendary? No, not possible.
"I wonder what could be over there." I thought. Ok, enough of that. To the lab!
After some walking, I finally entered the lab.
"Hey, guys! I'm finally here!" I yelled across the entrance. Jake noticed me and frantically waved, and Sonic just gave me a small "Hi". Soon, I was greeted by who must be the Pokémon Professor of Roria. The professor wore a black suit with a blue tie, and also long, black pants and black shoes. He also had gray glasses. The professor smiled warmly as he greeted everyone here.
"Hello, my name is Professor Cypress," He greeted, "I am the new professor in Mitis Town. Your parents were just telling me about you."
"Did they tell you about my obsession with Team Valor?" I joked with a smirk on his face. My parents just chuckled at that, and Cypress here got surprised by this, but shrugs it off. Truth is, despite my love for this team, I never got the opportunity to join them. I barely even left the house by myself. Overprotective parents, but let's get out of this topic.
"You must be very excited about getting your first Pokémon today." Cypress responded.
"Dang right I am. I've been waiting for this day since a very long time." I said.
"There are a few things you must know about Pokémon first," Cypress said, his pointer finger raised as he spoke, "Pokémon are our friends, and we grow alongside them. They grow, and in some cases, evolve and change form, as we battle with them. Your Pokémon will grow to love you as you adventure with them."
"Oh, that's cool! I never knew that before!" Jake shouted excitedly.
"We did." Sonic and I said in unison. We studied Pokemon in school, Cypress. Tell me something I don't know.
"Yes, and there are still many things that we don't know about Pokémon." Cypress added.
"Indeed. There are so many in this world, after all." I said to himself. Like I said before, AT LEAST 802. That's a whole lot!
"Nifty, I want you now to pick a Pokémon that you would like to accompany you on your adventures," Cypress said, "And then Sonic can pick later on. Make a choice from these 21 different breeds. Go ahead now."
I looked at the shelf with 21 different Poke Balls. Luckily, there was a screen on top that showed which Pokémon was in each ball. Since there is 21, it has 3 rows each, and I can scroll for more to see who else I can pick. As I looked at the many different Poke Balls, one of those caught my eye.
One of the balls held a Pokémon called Froakie, a small blue, frog Pokémon with white frubbles around its neck. I smiled as I looked at it.
"I'll take this one." I said, pointing at the said ball.
"So, you want Froakie, that Water type Pokémon?" Cypress asked.
"Yes. I will have that guy." I replied. I grabs the Poke Ball, and hold it high into the air, just like how a trainer would react if they caught a new Pokémon. Yes, my dream is finally gonna come true! I send out my partner immediately after. Froakie looks at me with a lot of curiosity, and I bend my knees to reach its eye level.
"Fro?" My new partner says as he cocks his head. Yes, this Froakie is a male, like most other starters.
"Hello, Froakie! My name is Nifty. I'm your new owner!" I said to the small frog, giving it a smile.
"Fro, Froakie?" He said more confused. Then he realized what I meant and jumps into my arms.
"FROAKIE!" My new Pokemon shouts as it hugs me.
"Aw! So adorable." I complimented as I gently pet it.
"Excellent choice, Nifty!" Cypress said with a smile.
"Your new Pokémon is so cute!" Mom complimented.
"That Pokémon definitely has potential in battle." Dad said.
"I hope our Pokémon become best friends like we are!" Jake exclaimed. I bet we will, I can trust Jake on anything.
"Now it's your turn, Sonic. Go ahead and pick." Cypress suggested. Sonic walked over to the shelf, and scrolled around the many different starters. Sonic ended up wanting to pick a Pokémon called Chespin, which is a small, brown Pokémon with a green 'hat' with a couple spikes on it. Ooh, is he really gonna go "full rival" on me, and pick the starter with the advantage?
"So you would like Chespin, the Grass type Pokémon?" Cypress asked.
"Yes. This is who I decided to go with." Sonic replied. He grabs the ball, and sends out his partner. Just like what I did, he bends down to make eye contact.
"Hello, Chespin! I'm Sonic, and I'm your new trainer!" Sonic said to his new partner.
"Pin, Chespin!" The spiny nut Pokemon shouted as it hopped onto Sonic's right shoulder.
"Good choice, bro. Looks like we'll be definite rivals soon." I said with a smirk. We're definitely gonna battle soon, I just know it.
"Alright, Nifty, Sonic, many challenges await you," Cypress said, "Let me give you one more gift that will help you along the way." He gives Sonic and I some kind of red rectangle. It flips open, revealing more to it. Yep, this is what I believed it was.
"It's a Pokédex," Cypress explained, "It's like an electronic encyclopedia that records the kind of Pokémon you encounter and capture. It will also help me in my research with Pokémon."
"This is amazing." I said dreamily. Why do I keep daydreaming about this? Come on, myself! Get your head out of the clouds!
"Also, if you'd like, you can come back at any time and purchase another Pokémon from my assistant, David." Cypress responded.
"Ooh, that sounds cool." Sonic said.
"Now, what are you waiting for? Go and explore the world of Pokémon!" Cypress exclaimed.
"Yes, Nifty. Go ahead and have fun with your Pokémon." Dad said.
"We need to stay behind and talk to the professor for a minute. We'll meet up with you later." Mom added.
"Yeah, I'll go. But first..." I started. I smirked as he walked over to David.
"I would like to purchase another starter, please." I said.
"Sure thing. Go ahead and pick one you also want." David replied. I ended up also picking Charmander, a fire lizard Pokémon with a little fire in the top of its tail. How can I not pick this guy as well? It was between Froakie and Charmander, I just can't pick only one! Once I picked my 2nd starter, I gave David 25 Robux, the other currency in Roria aside from Pokedollars. I go through the introduction process again, and Charmander decided to sit on my shoulder. Sonic looked a bit surprised by this.
"Heh, looks like Nifty is getting a head start on a full team." He mumbled.
"Ready to go, Sonic?" I asked, putting my friend out of his trance.
"Let's do this, Nifty!" Sonic responded. As both of us were about to leave, we stopped once we heard Jake shout. Classic Jake...
"Hey, guys! Wait up!" He yelled. Sonic and I turned around to face him.
"What's up, Jake?" I asked.
"We have Pokémon now! LET'S BATTLE!" Jake screamed. I got surprised by this, but then I smirked. I shall do the best I can!
"Challenge accepted!" I exclaimed.
And so, my first Pokémon battle started now. I can't believe this is actually happening!
"I will be the referee. Battle begin!" Sonic shouted.
"My new partner... come on out!" Jake shouted, sending out his Pokémon. Jake's first partner turns out to be Eevee. Where did he get an Eevee though? That wasn't in the starter list! I shrugged it off as I shall start this battle today.
"Alright, Froakie, let's go!" I shouted, sending out his Pokémon. Froakie wasn't in his Poke Ball, he was just next to me. The bubble fog hopped over, looking determined and ready for battle.
"Start out this battle with Bubble!" I commanded. Froakie uses said move, and it gets a direct hit, with Eevee getting a bit wet from the attack. Nice start!
"Don't back down now, Eevee! Use Tail Whip!" Jake yelled. Eevee whips around its tail a bit, lowering Froakie's physical defense. That seems bad.
"Now use Pound!" Nifty shouted. Froakie comes towards Eevee, then its hand glows as it pounds Eevee with its attack.
"Use Tackle!" Jake exclaimed. Eevee tackles Froakie at full force with its head. I ran over to Froakie, who looked like it had trouble getting up.
"Froakie! Are you okay there?" I asked.
"Froakie, Kie!" The bubble fog Pokémon shouted, telling me that he's okay. Oh, thank Arceus.
"Okay then, use Bubble!" I yelled. The line of bubbles hits again, and it looks like Eevee is almost down. Am I really gonna win my first battle?
"Use Tackle!" Jake shouted. Eevee began to run at Froakie...
"Dodge, and then use Pound!" Nifty screamed. Holy crap, I am on a roll! Froakie barely dodges the incoming attack, and then pounds Eevee with his glowing hand. As the smoke cleared from the attack, Eevee lays down with swirls in its eyes.
"Eevee is unable to battle! Froakie is the winner, which means the victory goes to Nifty!" Sonic yelled. I... I won. I WON!
"Alright! We won our first battle!" I shouted. I run up to Froakie and gives my new partner a high five. Jake walks over to Eevee and holds him in his arms. I have to give Jake some credit, though. He did great as well. After all, this was just a battle for fun.
"Thanks, Eevee. You're the best." Jake said softly. Eevee shouts weakly, but happily to see its trainer is not sad. Jake puts Eevee back in its ball. Jake is disappointed that he lost, but felt happy as well.
"Amazing! Our Pokémon are so strong!" Jake complimented.
Froakie walks back over to me, still on the floor, while Charmander stays laying down on my shoulder.
"That was an amazing battle, Nifty! Here, let me heal our Pokémon for us." Jake said. And he does so for both of us. Such a nice guy.
"Looks like you got things down already, Nifty." Sonic responded to me.
"Thanks. I honestly didn't expect to win, but I guess we did it." I said with a shrug. It's true, I didn't know how things will turn out! My parents came over to me with smiles on their faces.
"Nifty, that was an awesome battle! Your father and I watched you while we were discussing things with the professor." Mom said.
"We are very proud of you in taking this step to become a Pokémon trainer." Dad added.
"Thanks, mom and dad." I replied. I'm glad they are still supporting me in every way possible.
"We want you to know that we will be supporting you as you explore Roria." Dad said.
"You need to be very careful, as you are going to be out on your own for the very first time." Mom warned. No worries, I can do this. This is how all Pokemon trainers are when they adventure for the first time... right?
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." I said with a smile.
"Don't forget to floss!" Mom exclaimed, and then giggled afterwards. Oh my Arceus, are you kidding me?! Can you not do this at this moment?!
"Mom! Stop it!" I shouted angrily. Jake and Sonic just laughed by this, not at me, but because of the reaction. No big surprise.
"Nifty, we want to give you something to take with you as a gift to celebrate this momentous occasion." Dad said. And he gives me a brick with a bronze color, with a line over it to shape it into a necklace. I wrap it around my neck. It fits me like a glove.
"I made it into a necklace just this morning," Dad replied, "When you look at it, remember your family who loves you. Don't forget to keep it safe."
"We're headed back to the house. If you need anything, that's where you can find us!" Mom responded.
"Alrighty then." I said. They left the lab and headed back to my house.
"Wow, that was really cool of your parents." Jake said to me.
"Indeed, Jake. They really are the best." I replied.
"Yeah, despite being busy almost all the time, your parents are always there for you." Sonic said.
"Oh, by the way, I have something for you and Sonic. They're for catching wild Pokémon!" Jake responded. He gave both of us 5 empty Poke Balls each. I still don't know where he got them! I guess he's always out more than I am, not that I'm jealous though.
"It works best if you weaken the Pokémon before throwing a Poke Ball at it." Jake explained. Yeah, I know how a Poke Ball works, Jake.
"Thanks for the gift, Jake." I thanked. I'd still give him credit though. There's no one else who could replace him.
"You did really great as well." Sonic complimented.
"Well, I need to gather a few things before I set off on my adventure. You two should go start training your Pokémon on Route 1!" Jake suggested.
"That was my first suggestion. You're awesome, Jake." I said.
"Past Route 1 is Chesma Town. That'll be a good place for us to meet up." Jake responded.
"We'll see you there, Jake." Sonic said.
"Alright, I'll see you guys later!" Jake exclaimed as he waved. He then walked back to his home to get a few things. I turn over to my other friend.
"Let's start our adventure, Sonic." I said with my usual smirk.
"Let's go, Nifty." Sonic replied. And so, we headed to Route 1 to start training our new Pokémon. And so, our adventure has just begun. I can't wait to do some more in Roria!
To be continued...
