Pokémon: Sov & Misty
CHAPTER ONE
Sov sighed. The Kanto region was GREAT. After living in Unova, with all the tall buildings and the grey sky over Castelia City, he had never been in a place this serene. Cerulean, with the river winding around it, the fountains and the flowers by the paths, Sov felt like he was in a television, because a place like this seemed too beautiful to exist.
He shook his head, snapping out of it. Gym. Challenge. Okay, his mind was on track now. Pulling his map out of his backpack, he traced the line indicating the street to the label marked 'Cerulean Gym.' He took of at a jog, confident he could easily rack up a win here. His fire-type Pokemon were always ready for battle.
'Charmeleon and Litleo can take on whatever this gym can dish out,' he thought confidently. Reaching the gym, he looked up. The roof had small fountain-like things on the sides, which drained into a pond beside the small building. Pressing his palm against the door, he pushed it open.
Inside was a pool, diving boards and a small patio table. One of the four chairs was occupied by a girl with flaming red hair which was styled into a simple ponytail on the side of her head. She looked up as he entered.
"Um. Hi." Sov greeted her, his voice uncertain. "I'm here for a gym battle, and... uh... do you know where the gym leader is?"
The red-haired girl jerked her thumb towards herself. "Yeah. Me. My name's Misty, and I'm one of the four gym leaders here."
"Oh, um... okay." Sov said lamely.
Misty raised an eyebrow at him. "And you are...?"
"Oh! Sorry, I'm Sov! And yeah, I'm looking for a battle."
The girl laughed. "I figured that. But I really doubt you could beat my water types here. Especially because my gym has a pool." She grinned.
Sov gulped inwardly. 'Water types?' He thought. 'Why. Why does it have to be water types?'
The girl started walking to the other end of the gym, indicating he should follow her. Then she turned and looked back to the table. "C'mon Pikachu!" She smiled warmly in the direction of the table, and Sov turned. A yellow Pokemon with a lightning-shaped tail and pointed ears that ended in black tips ran forward and leaped onto Misty's shoulder.
"What? A PIKACHU? I thought you said you were a water type trainer?" Sov said, confused.
She looked at Pikachu. "I am. Pikachu here is the exception." She once again smiled warmly at the Pokemon.
Sov, never having seen a real Pikachu up close as they weren't native to Kanto, was fascinated.
"Where did you get him? He asked, studying the Pikachu.
Misty turned. "We're going to battle over here," She said, ignoring his question.
As she turned, Sov saw Misty wipe a tear that was forming in her eyes away with her hand.
(Okay, this is my first Fanfiction. So... yeah. I'll make more chapters later on, and I would appreciate some reviews or whatever on it. So... thanks!)
