The Dregga Region Adventure

Chapter 1: The Lazy prodigy of Popilu town.

A long time ago, there was a man by the name of Zachery Dregga set sail to find the legendary continent that was said to be larger than no other. Many scientist had determined that it was impossible for such a large land mass to exist and not have been discovered by any of the vast explorers of this world, however Dregga was determined to find this land. One day while he was out at sea, his boat was caught in a freak storm. His communication devices went dead and many persons thought he had been killed. However he had been saved by a mystical psychic energy.

He awoke on what seemed to be the middle of nowhere surrounded by many pokemon from all of the regions of the world. He looked around thinking he must have been on an island but realised that the sea itself wasn't in sight. It was then that the voice spoke to him explaining he had been placed on the large continent he searched for however at the point the barrier around the continent was removed a dark force had entered.

Dregga, felt it was his duty to protect this land and ran off towards the area that the voice told him with multiple pokemon helping him along the way. When he arrived, he found the infamous Black Rose. A male pirate who, despite the rather nice name, was by far the most savage and evil man that the world knew. He and his crew were capturing multiple pokemon and preparing to ship them off when Dregga arrived and attempted to stop them. The Black Rose and his crew were too powerful and even though he put up a good fight Dregga had lost to the Black Rose. As he was about to finish off Dregga the guardian of the region arose. A Lugia much larger and much more powerful than any lugia ever seen before appeared and banished the Black Rose from this land. However in the nearby archipelago known as the Aluze islands, the Black Rose had found a temple where the powers of legendary pokemon were sealed. He was left weak from the banishment which Lugia had cast upon him and soon died in that temple. However his spirit remained waiting for the time a chosen trainer would come.

Lugia, decided that it was time that the world knew of his region and slowly started to allow persons with kind hearts to enter his region. It the named the region after the first human who had ever lived on this region. It had become known as the Dregga Region. Based on the plot of the role playing site The Dregga Region 2.0 RP Hub

Present Day Dregga

"Smack!" echoed throughout the nearby homes in the small town of Popilu. The sound was once again heard.

"Ouch!" The boy said as he got up and looked around. His room was as untidy as ever and his mother stood over him her handed held in a position to smack him again if he didn't get up.

"Ryan! You're sixteen years old now and you know today is the day another set of trainers leave for their journey! You escaped the last two years back but this time you are going! Now go in the bath and get ready your breakfast will get cold if you don't hurry!" His Mother said as she stormed out of his room.

"Oh, the day some parents dread and mine look forward to. I don't want to train pokemon I just want to sleep…. Wait did she say my breakfast would get cold?" Without another word Ryan quickly got up and ran into the bath. He was just 5 foot 11 inches tall and his dark brown hair was combed up and spiked off at the end. He took what seemed to be a 2 minute bath and quickly put on his clothes. He wore a black under shirt with a red jacket over it, he also wore a black jean which had in a belt with the name "Ryan" on the buckle. He was brown skinned and his eyes were also brown. He quickly pulled on his sneakers and packed his bag. He knew his mother wouldn't allow him to eat unless he truly was ready to leave the home.

He rushed out of his room, across the corridor and then down the stairs where his mother had prepared his food. She walked over to him and inspected his bag making sure everything he needed was for his journey was there. His mother had a much darker complexion than him and her hair was also darker and she wore it down as it where it reached about half way down her back. Her eye colour was the exact same as his and she stood at 5 feet 9 inches. She was currently wearing a white shirt and a long blue skirt which was covered by her apron.

They both ate breakfast together and soon they were both finished. Ryan's Mother got up and smiled "Since I remember exactly what you did the previous two years young man I've decided that you would go to the Pokemon lab with Jack." Ryan looked up, well down, to his mother giving her a glare. She glared back at him and continued to speak. "You guys are best friends and he's finally ready to start his pokemon journey so I figured he wouldn't let you weasel your way out of it this year."

Ryan sighed and washed his plate and utensils that he had used before heading outside. His mother had probably realised what he planned to do. She simply sighed and smiled as if she already had something in place for her son.

Popilu was a small suburb of the large and dangerous Popilu City. It was also a monkey pokemon preserve which meant it was illegal for anyone to capture any of the monkey pokemon which inhabited the town. Usually the monkey pokemon were nice and friendly even the mankey had been able to control their anger. The leader of these preserve pokemon was of course the aipom who was also well known for getting what he wanted.

Ryan took off sprinting towards the main area of the town. The residential area of popilu surrounded a park where young children and the monkey pokemon came to play. The easiest way to navigate the town was to stay close to the park and look out for any signs which pointed out the direction of the town's three most important buildings. These were the Pokemon lab, the Gym trainee centre and the Breeding centre. As Ryan ran passed the park the infamous leader of the monkey preserve pokemon, Aipom, leaped from a tree on to his head causing the boy to lose his balance and tumble into the fence which separated the park from the walkways.

"Ow!" Ryan cried out in pain as the Aipom then jumped in front of him and began to pat its bottom using its tail hand trying to taunt Ryan. "Ha! You better than anyone else should know that doesn't work on me." Ryan said as he slowly rose to his feet and dusted himself off. He then walked around the Aipom ignoring the playful monkey pokemon. "If that Aipom thinks it's going to trick me and bring me to the lab it's got another thing coming."

Ryan then looked up at the path and his face went blank. Staring him right in the face was none other than his best friend Jack Snape. Without even realizing it he had fallen straight into his mother's trap by not following the monkey pokemon. "Well done mother, it seems you've finally beaten me." He thought as he began walking with Jack in the direction of the Pokemon lab.

"So Ryan, what type of pokemon are you going to start off with?" Jack asked his friend.

"I'm not sure; to be honest I'd rather be at home sleeping or eating right now." Ryan replied.

"You know for such a smart, lazy dude who does nothing but eat and sleep how come you don't gain any weight! I mean you've been the same size for at least 3 years now." Ryan chuckled a bit.

"Jack, it is called a high metabolism and you eat ten times more than me and weigh less than me so you have no right to talk." Ryan countered.

Within a few minutes the boys had arrived in front of a large stair way which led to a large white building with a large windmill in the back which had a red roof. Standing in front of the door was a female who seemed to be no older than 20. "Hello Ryan and Jack." She greeted with a warm smile.

"Hey Professor Juniper." The boys said in unison as she opened the door and allowed them in. "I'm sorry boys but I don't have any pokemon for you." She said with a straight face which meant she was as serious as could be. Jack's face dropped while a small smirk appeared on Ryan's face. "Ryan 3 mom 0" He thought before he saw the professor's face turn back into a large grin.

"Jack your father sent you this pokemon from the hoenn region, he said it reminded him of you and he just had to get it for you." The professor said as she opened a pokeball revealing a small blue amphibious creature which happened to have a large head appeared. The Pokemon had a wide mouth, black beady eyes, orange star shaped gills on the side of its face and also a fin on the top of his hand and a light blue fin for its tail. Jack had received his first pokemon which was a mudkip. Jack quickly ran towards the mudkip and picked up the water type pokemon and began looking at it face to face.

"You're so awesome mukip, I've always loved mudkips!" Jack said as the water type pokemon slowly opened its mouth in what seemed to be a yawn. "Mudkip mud!" It yelled as it fired a water gun attack right in its trainer's face which caused Jack to fall down. The Mudfish pokemon began to roll on the ground laughing.

"Haha!" Managed to escape Ryan's Mouth as he and Jack realised this mudkip was a trickster. "Well since you have no pokemon for me I guess I'll be going!" Ryan said as he prepared to turn around and leave

"Not so fast young man, do you really think we weren't prepared for you this time? Go ahead and open the door I dare you." Professor Juniper said with a serious face. Ryan looked at her and smiled

"I'll take you on that offer, see you next year Juniper." Ryan said as he opened the door only to be pushed to the ground by a small pokemon which had blue fur on top and was yellow on the underside. Its eyes were squinted and it had a bunch of orange spots on its back.

"Cyndaquil!" It said as it proceeded to lick Ryan. Professor Juniper smiled "Ryan, this is your partner cyndaquil." Ryan looked up at his new pokemon and then held him in the air.

"I've always had a thing for these guys so I guess this isn't so bad." The professor chuckled as she brought out the pokeballs and pokedex which had already had the trainers names and pokemon registered.

"I'm sure you both know where to go from here on in. The breeding centre is your next stop good luck Jack and Ryan." She said as both trainers placed the items within their bags and left the lab heading towards the breeding centre. (Since I forgot to describe how Jack looked he is fairly tall about 5 feet 10 inches, he wears contacts he has brown hair his skin is clear. His hair is cut short he was a beige jean and a green under shirt with a beige jacket over it. Sorry about that.)

It was a short walk from the Lab to the Breeding centre. Both facilities usually worked together since the breeding centre was always over run with eggs. Despite the name there are no pokemon producing eggs in the area. The Breeding centre is at the end of a small waterfall where a tiny lake in the back is formed. Pokemon eggs usually flow down this river endlessly and no one has been able to understand why. No person has ever actually been able to trace the river back to its source either. It was a large building with a red roof however the back portion of it was on stilts since it was situated within the lake.

Ryan and Jack looked behind the building to see persons pulling eggs out of the water and quickly placing them within cases. It was a strange phenomenon as none of the eggs actually hatch until they are under the care of a trainer. Ryan knocked on the door and within 10 seconds a bald man who looked to be at about the age of forty came outside.

"Welcome Ryan and Jack, please take a seat while we bring out the eggs for you." The man said as he brought them inside the centre. The Building seemed a lot smaller on the inside or maybe it was because most of the building was shelves with pokemon egg cases on them. The man soon returned and handed both trainers the eggs.

"Thank you!" They both said before they headed outside. It was tradition. A tradition passed down from the first two trainers who ever left Popilu town to begin their journey. Whenever two trainers meet in front of the Breeding centre with their first pokemon they would have a battle. Both Ryan and Jack knew this and none of them planned to break tradition. Cyndaquil looked up at Ryan who nodded to it. The small fire type them walked in front of Ryan looking at its opponents on the other side of the field.

Jack pulled out his pokeball releasing the mudkip. The trickster water type stood in front of its trainer ready to battle. This time it looked a whole lot more serious than when it was in the lab. It turned to its owner and smiled then back to the battle field. A Battle between best friends was about to unfold.

"Let's start things off right Mudkip, mudslap attack!" Jack called out as mudkip turned its behind and used its hind feet to throw wet dirt up towards cyndaquil. As the dirt flew it quickly turned into mud.

"Cyndaquil quick dodge it now and return fire with your ember attack!" Ryan said as the cyndaquil quickly jumped to the side of the attack and returned fire with its own ranged attack. A small onslaught of fire pellets flew down the field towards the mudfish pokemon.

"Mudkip, destroy that ember with your water gun now!" Jack commanded as mudkip quickly used its water attack which clashed with the embers destroying them and also causing steam to envelop them field.

"Now is our chance cyndaquil use tackle attack!" Ryan commanded as the cyndaquil quickly used the cover of the steam to ram into the mudkip sending it flying back a few feet.

"No Mudkip! Fight back with your water gun attack!" Jack commanded as the mudkip quickly shook off the tackle and blasted the close range water attack on the cyndaquil. It was a direct super effective hit which sent the cyndaquil flying in front of its trainer. It stood up slowly. It was also breathing off rather heavily. The water gun had definitely done a lot more damage than the tackle did. Mudkip stood up ready for more as Ryan bit his lip. He knew he had made a beginner's mistake but he wasn't ready to give up yet.

"Mudkip tackle attack go!" Jack commanded as the mudkip charged towards the cyndaquil preparing to ram the pokemon to the ground.

"Cyndaquil quickly use your smokescreen!" Ryan commanded as his cyndaquil quickly covered the field in smoke which caused the mudkip to stop attacking.

"Oh come on Ryan!" Jack said. His one weakness was always getting too caught up in the heat of the moment and it seemed like that point had arrived.

"Cyndaquil its time to give it everything we've got use ember and then follow up with a tackle attack!" Ryan commanded as the fire pellets blasted the side the water type pokemon pushing to the side. The pellets felt like they were never ending and getting hotter. It was then that the mudkip realised the cyndaquil was running and getting closer to it.

"Mudkip!" It cried out as its trainer tried to peep through the smoke. "Mudkip try to mudslap it!" Jack cried out but it was too late the cyndaquil had arrived and hit the area where it had been using ember consistently throughout the run causing the mudkip to roll towards its trainer in a considerable amount of pain. Both Pokemon began breathing off heavily again. However it was clear that cyndaquil had the advantage.

"We Have to turn around this battle Mudkip!" Jack said as his mudkip prepared to move forward but was engulfed in flames. The mudkip had been burned. It tried to move through it but the burn was too much and it fell over defeated. Jack bent down towards his mudkip and petted it. "You did great buddy." He said before returning it to its pokeball

"That was a great battle Jack." Ryan said as he picked up his cyndaquil in his hand and petted its head. "You did great to cyndaquil I think I'll name you Eruption." Ryan said as he put the cyndaquil on the ground and shook his best friends hands.

"I'm going to head back to the lab before heading out. I guess we'll see each other on our journey." Jack said before he ran off. He knew about his flaw and if he wanted to achieve his goals of becoming the greatest pokemon trainer ever he had to overcome it.

Ryan bent down towards his cyndaquil and pulled a potion out of his bag. "This might sting a little." He said as he sprayed the small pokemon who endured the small bits of pain it felt and now felt as good as new.

"Cyndaquil!" Eruption said as both he and his trainer began walking towards the nearby city whose large towers could be seen from where he stood. He might have been a bit reluctant to start his journey but it seemed like this was something he could truly look forward to in life.
