"Tonight…" a black haired kid said to himself, "is the last day that I'm not a pokemon trainer! Tomorrow I will become a trainer!" The Pichu on his shoulder let out a happy cry and tugged on Jack's hair. "What is it?"
Pikachu was standing on Jack's desk, smiling happily. He ran and jumped onto Jack's other shoulder, like he always did with Ash, and pointed to the desk. Jack walked over and looked at it. There was a box with a handle (so Pikachu could carry it) and inside there was a yellow transparent stone with a lightning bolt floating in the center. Jack looked at it, then Pikachu. "This is for me?" he asked. Pikachu nodded and he and Pichu jumped down next to the stone. Pikachu pushed it forward with his nose and then used his tail to point to the yellow back next to his bed.
"Jack! Time for bed!" Misty called up the stairs. Jack sighed and gently closed the Thunder Ston box. After he put it in his bag, he got his pajamas on and crawled into bed. Pichu laughed quietly and curled up next to Jack, Pikachu running out of the room at Ash's request. They both slept soundly…untill Ash and Misty both came running in the next morning. "Jack," Misty said. "It's time for you to go! Gary has a bunch of things for you at the lab!"
Pikachu sent a little electric volt through Jack who screamed and sat up. "Gah, Pikachu!" he said, rubbing his eyes. "What was that for?!"
"Gary has a few things for you," Ash said. "Hurry up and get down to the lab!"
Jack nodded. When Ash and Misty left, he put on his new clothes that Ash had given him; a black shirt with a blue vest. The vest had white sleaves and hood, and his pants where regular jeans. After he put on a hat (he won it at the trainers gym), Pichu jumped onto his shoulder. Jack grabbed his bag and ran down the stairs, hugging Misty, then Ash. Ash grinned and stepped out into the front yard with Jack. "Don't tell Misty I gave you him," he said and handed Jack a pokeball. "You'll have to see what it holds later, but for now, get down to that lab!" Jack nodded and put the pokeball on his belt. Pichu waved good by to Pikachu and Ash as Jack ran down the road.
Three trainers and there pokemon ran down the steps of the lab, and when they got to the bottom, they all sprinted in different directions. Pichu seemed sad, but once she got to see Gary, she was happy again.
"Here," Gary said and handed Jack a bunch of small pokeballs. "You'll also need this." He handed the kid a bright yellow Pokedex. "It contains everything you need to know about a pokemon. Don't loose it, you don't get another one." Jack nodded and stuffed them into his backpack. "Now get going, you can't get anywhere if you just stay here!" Jack, a bit surprised at Gary's fierce tone, back out of the lab and down the steps.
"Well, Pichu," Jack said happily. "We're finaly on our journey!" Pichu shouted her high pitched shout, a happy one, and jumped off of Jack's shoulder. When she hit the ground, she began to jump up and down, trying to touch the pokeball that Ash had given Jack.
"Oh, right!" Jack said and took the pokeball off his belt. He and Pichu stared at it for a few moments before Jack enlarged it. When he threw it into the air, a red light appeared and a Golduck appeared. "Oh my gosh…" Pichu stared at the new intimidating pokemon and hid behind Jack's leg. She let out a worried cry but calmed down when Jack picked her up. Golduck smiled and shot a small watergun attack at Jack. It hit him right in the forehead. "Golduck…!" Golduck mumbled something then said, "Golduck! Gol!" Most likely appologizing.
"It's okay!" Jack said. "No need to be sad or anything!" Golduck sighed with relief and went back into its pokeball. He continued on, having no clue of where to go, and soon made it into a forest. While in there, he heard commands from another trainer.
"Cacnea, Sandstorm!"
It was a high pitched voice, but not a girl voice. 'Odd,' Jack thought to himself and walked over to where he heard the voice.
"Nnooooo!" came the voice again. This time it sounded sad, but mad at the same time. He heard a sad cry and looked past the tree to see a purple haired kid pick a Cacnea up. Weather this kid was boy or girl, Jack couldn't tell. It must've been the voice though.
"You need to focus," the kid said in a quick tone. "You know we have to win the next battle. Yes, Sandstorm will help the other pokemon but it will also help you."
"And exactly who are you?" Jack asked and stepped out from behind the trees. The kid jumped in surprise and Cacnea jumped to the ground.
"Name's Hark," the kid said and pushed his purple hair back. Jack looked down and saw Pichu racing over to Hark. "No!" Jack said. Pichu jumped into Cacnea's head then grabbed the green, long sleaved vest that Hark had on and finaly onto the kids shoulder. Cacnea was shouting thing franticly and Hark yelled something at Pichu when she took his green hat. "Cacnea, use drain punch!" Cacnea ran forward as his arm began to glow and aimed a punch at Pichu. Pichu stumbled forward and landed upside-down, Hark's hat covering the small pokemon. Cacnea stopped the attack when Pichu dissapeared from sight and looked around.
"You have one blind pokemon," Jack commented and moved Hark's hat away. Pichu jumped up onto Jack's shoulder as he stood up and tried to send an electric volt towards Hark. Hark put his hat back on and stared at the now halfway fainted Pichu.
"And you have one tiny Pichu," Hark retorted. He walked through the forest, Cacnea beside him and dissapeared.
Pichu began to cry, but Jack calmed him down. "Don't worry," he said to the poor pokemon. "He's just a really weird mean guy." Pichu's crying began to slow, and soon the pokemon was asleep on Jack's shoulder. The Pichu must've been tired after the running it did. Jack let it sleep for a while and wondered around through the forest. It seemed…odd that there where no pokemon around, and it seemed wierder that he was the only one. Wheren't there other new trainers today? At least that's what Jack thought. He began to walk through the forest, thinking he found the way, when a Persian jumped out of the trees.
"Oh, are you the new twerp I've been hearin' about?" the Persian asked and laughed an evil, quiet laugh. "Well, I don't think James or Jessy is here to see this…but, come out Red, come out Freya!" Out of the trees, a Flygon with a black headband flew past and a purple haired girl jumped down. She had bright green eyes and soon her Flygon landed beside her. A few moments later, a red haired boy jumped out of the trees with an Ambipom next to him. "What, no motto?"
"We're not that stupid," the girl- Freya- said. She looked a lot like the girl, Jessy Jack had seen on TV… and Red, seemed a lot like the other one, James. "Flygon, Sandstorm!" Flygon let out an angry, rage filled cry and began a sand storm. Ambipom (who also had a headband) jumped upside-down and began a Swift on Red's command. The Persian sat back, an evil grin on his face, tail lashing back and forth. "Mottos are not stupid," it said. "They weren't, back in the day. We did that to scare people, many people. Didn't really work, but hey, it was greeattee."
Jack stared at the crazed talking cat pokemon and said, "Pichu, quick attack!" Pichu jumped off his shoulder and landed on the ground, quickly running forward on all fours. She lept up and attacked Flygon, but it did little damage. Pichu tried again. Didn't work. Jack quietly cursed and looked at Persian. He made a whistling sound and an exausted Pichu came running back to him. Jack made a run for it, trying to keep his Pichu safe. A large glowing star flew by, cutting his ear. Jack fell forward, Pichu clinging to his vest, tired from running so much. He had it easier in the pokemon trainers' gym. It was much easier then being forced into running for his life.
"Cacturne!"
"Cacnea!"
"Pin Missle!"
Jack's vision started to blur and something large grabbed onto him. He felt like he was being lifted into the air, and that was all he realized before going unconscious. It must have been hours. Jack heard the high pitched cries of his Pichu, then two other voices that where also pokemon. It grew quiet as he began to move and when he opened his eyes, the only thing he saw was a yellow mouse jumping jump and down infront of him. Pichu jumped forward, hugging Jack when he colided with him. Jack hugged the mouse pokemon and his vision began to unblur. "What happened, Pichu…?" Jack asked. Pichu looked down and her ears twitched to the left. Jack looked in that direction and saw a fainted Persian, Flygon, and Ambipom. Two trainers where hanging from a tree branch, a ton of spikes surrounding there tree. The Persian's tail twitched and the second Jack saw that, he jumped up and ran in the opposite direction. 'Gotta get to Viridian,' he thought to himself.
He saw a large orange dragon up ahead and followed it. In a few moments he saw the trees slowly getting thiner and thinner until they where all gone. The dragon over head had dissapeared, and Jack was now standing at the entrance to Viridan City. 'What…?' Jack thought. His Pichu stood up on his shoulder and sniffed the air. Her ears twitched and she jumped down, running into the city. "Piiichhuuuu!" she cried as Jack followed her. Many people turned to see what was going on, then went back to there normal things.
"Is there something wrong?"
Jack turned to see Office Jenny and a Growlithe keeping pace with him.
"Not yet," Jack said. "Pichu's just running around."
"Then why is your ear all torn?"
Pichu stopped when she heard that and ran back to Jack. She waved her arms around wildly then got onto all fours like she was a cat or something. Jack sighed and looked at Jenny who was watching closly.
"Have you guys been attacked by a Persian by any chance?" Jenny asked. Jack went wide eyed and nodded. "A Flygon and Ambipom?"
"Yeah," Jack said. He picked up Pichu and she jumped onto his shoulder. "I was attacked but something was in there."
Jenny smiled and said, "Lio and Hark. They go into the forest around this time because each year, those three pokemon and there trainers are always trying to hurt new trainers."
It all came flooding back. The purple haired kid, the large dragon in the sky, hardly any pokemon… Pichu tugged on Jack's black hair and pointed to Jenny. "But why are they in there? Helping them or something?" he asked.
Jenny nodded. "Yes," she said. "They help new trainers, though Hark is fairly new himself. They both came from Hoenn and where attacked when they where new, so they decided to stay in the forest around this time."
"That explains it…" Jack said to himself. "Do you think you can lead me to a Pokemon Center?" he then asked when he saw Pichu lean against his head. Jenny nodded and her Growlithe jumped forward, letting out an excited growl. The two humans and Growlithe ran down a few streets and soon came up to a large pokemon center. "Thanks!"
"No problem," Jenny said. Growlithe barked and soon him and Jenny where walking down the streets that they came from.
"We're finaly here…" Jack said. He looked at his watch. It was the same time he left yesterday! "Wha..?" It took him a few moments to realize that he'd been knocked out for a least a day. Odd…
