*Disclaimer #1: I do not own Pokemon in any way, shape, or form.
*Disclaimer #2: Also, if you don't want to read the backstory, skip to chapter 6. Reading the backstory will have the story make more sense in my opinion. Either way, I hope you enjoy the story.
*Disclaimer #3: There is abuse, excessive language, mature events, death and more. If you do not like any of these, then I wouldn't recommend this story to you. Also, I might change this to M in the future so that way I don't screw myself.
It was the day he was waiting for this entire month. Ethan finally turned 16. He woke up to find his Dad having coffee in the kitchen. That's probably why he could sleep through the night and wake up at 5 in the morning. He went to the kitchen to see his dad up. His dad spat his drink out as he wasn't expecting him to be up this early.
"What the hell is going on today Ethan," his dad joked.
"Well, I don't know. Probably because of this certain day," Ethan replied.
"Usually you're never up until noon when I get home from work."
"I also wanted to spend half my birthday with you and the other half with Mom and Jimmy."
"Why doesn't that surprise me?"
"Well, what else are you expecting Dad? I have your own blood and flesh."
Seeing as his son wanted to be with him on his birthday and not leave immediately was a surprise to him. He almost shed a tear thinking about that.
"Anyways what do you want to do here on your last day in Sinnoh?" his dad asked.
"I think you know what it is Dad," Ethan replied.
"Alright but wait until the neighbors are up. Then we can battle."
"YEESSSSS!" Ethan shouted.
"HEY! CAN YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTHS?! I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP TOO!" one of the neighbors yelled to them. Ethan went outside and apologized.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. It's just—"
"IT'S JUST WHAT?!"
"I'm leaving Sinnoh to go see the other part of my family."
"You're LEAVING Sinnoh?"
"Yes." Ethan's sweat dropped.
"Oh OK. Sorry. Carry on Ethan." His neighbor shut the window and Ethan could hear him celebrating.
"Explains why we never got along." He walked back inside and found that his dad had done quite a lot of work while he was gone.
"How did you pull this off so quickly?" Ethan asked.
"Well, I had some help. And you were gone for 10 minutes arguing with the neighbor."
"Did you ever know that he didn't like us?"
"You just found out now?" his dad chuckled. Ethan sighed and continued observing the birthday supplies that he put up.
"Who did you use to help you?" Ethan asked.
"I used Sceptile and Blaziken. Although I got a couple punches to the face because they don't like being woken up early on a casual day."
"Don't they know it's my birthday?"
"Unfortunately they don't really care a lot in the morning. But I promise you they'll say happy birthday once it gets later in the day."
"I wish I had strong Pokémon just like you Dad."
"Well, the first birthday present of the day!" Ethan opened it to find out it was a Pokéball.
"This isn't a prank right?"
"It's not I promise."
"Dad" he growled.
"Ok fine it's a prank. But keep the Pokeball if you like." His dad fished up something from the top cabinet.
"Here's the real present. It actually has a Pokemon in it this time." Ethan released the unknown Pokemon. The Pokemon started inspecting its surroundings.
"IT'S A RIOLU?!"
"Yes, it is. And don't wake the neighbors up again. Please?"
"Ok, I'll try not to Dad." Ethan hugged his dad and then the Riolu. Both Riolu and Ethan yawned.
"Looks like you two still need some sleep. Anyways I still need to get some presents out of storage. I'll be back soon."
"Ok, bye Dad." Ethan let his other Pokemon out to meet their new friend. An Infernape and a Staraptor came out. The Pokemon greeted each other and became friends very quickly.
"Come on guys let's rest up and save some energy for our battle today. I'm also gonna bring the rest of the team back to battle my dad." Ethan told his Pokemon. They haven't had one in a long time and they were excited.
While they played for a little longer Ethan crashed on the couch and fell back asleep. He was tried but he also wanted the energy to battle against his dad later on in the day.
(Author's Notes)
Well, since Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are coming out, I decided to upload this since I started a year ago and procrastinated until now. I have much more chapters that are already written out. I'm just waiting to see if you guys like the way it's going or not. Be honest with the reviews if you decide to leave one. Whatever you criticize is something I'll hopefully fix the next time.
Here are a couple questions:
Is this gonna be a betrayal story?
Most likely not. I don't plan on making it a betrayal story but I might have something similar to it for a certain character. Again that is a might.
How many OC's are you gonna have in this story?
For the main story, around 2-4. For side characters, you guys can leave them in the comments and maybe I'll come up with a couple too.
Hopefully, you enjoy ~ Bad Luck Andrew
