Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon Pokemon: Four of a Kind

"Pokemon, why does Dad have to be so crazed over them, I mean he's all 'Oh My Gosh, if you don't get a Pokemon you'll never succeed in life.' He can't fool me with that, I know arithmetic and Literacy are the major things to succeed in life…" grumbled a girl to herself. "Meep!" she squealed as she tripped over her own two feet, and landed on the floor in some wet mud. Shinou had been having some crazy weather, it was mid June and it has been raining. Along with this, over the past few days, it had been reported that there was even Snow in one city.

"Are you okay?" A boy questioned, as he came scuttling along. He didn't seem to be too healthy; he was rather chubby and was flushed just from running the short distance.

"You think I'm fine?" The girl yelled, the boy cowered. She pulled herself up and her Pink Vest was now semi brown, she had mud covering her from head to toe. "These are new shoes; of course I'm not fine. I'm dirty and the chances are I'll fall over several more times today from this stupid field which has WAY too much dew to be normal."

"Sorry for asking…" he replied, his eyes began to water as he ran off, he was headed the same direction that the girl was.

"Hey… Wait!" She called, as she began to chase him.

"What now?"

"A little advice before you continue, green sweater shirts have never been in, and never will be" she winked.

"I told Mum I didn't want it but she bought it anyway" he sighed.

The girl smirked as she thought "His mum buys his clothes?" She stopped and realized she was yet to introduce herself "I'm Hikari."

"I'm Daiya."

The walk was rather pleasant for Daiya, but Hikari did as she predicted and slipped over a few more times. The area was a rather secluded one, despite being over grown there were no Pokemon except for the ones at the Professors Laboratory.

Hikari knocked politely on the ebony door, but after waiting several minutes of countless knocking, they received no reply. "We might as well just enter anyway…" Hikari told Daiya. Together, they opened the door and wandered in.

"Professor!" they both exclaimed as they watched him being pecked by a Mukkuru.

"New Trainers right? Here! Take these two starter Pokemon and this Pokeball, I need you to return it!" He screamed as the bird Pokemon continued its onslaught.

A ball with a leaf sprite on landed within Hikari's hands, along with a spare Pokeball. A Pokeball with a water Emblem landed in Daiya's hand.

"I don't want to battle this psycho, you can, here" she sighed as she tossed him the spare Pokeball. The professor sighed at her actions, but his eyes began to stream as the pain of the Peck attack got to him.

"Right," Daiya nodded. "Go!" Daiya yelled as he tossed the Ball with the Water emblem. With a flash of ruby red light came a miniature penguin Pokemon. "Pochama…" Pochama was probably then stereotypical girls starter of this region, but he didn't mind if he was different. It could be easily mistaken for a teddy penguin with its lack of height, and it's odd colouring could have led to that, also. It was a dark blue all over, minus its stomach and a little bit in-between its eyes, the area surrounding its eyes what white. Another odd feature was its beak; it was much smaller than that of your average penguin. "Great! Pocha-chan, start things of with a Pound, and then use growl to try and scare it from using its next attack!" Daiya commanded.

The Teddy Penguin began to rush up to its foe, and then slapped it in the 'bitch' slap style from its pound attack. "Kuru, kuru!" The Mukkuru then snapped back with its wing attack as Pochama used growl, the growl didn't have the same effect that Daiya thought it would, instead it just lowered its foes attack.

"Daiya, is it? I'm pretty sure that's what I wrote down on your Trainer Identification Card… I've been teaching Pochama how to use the Yawn technique, try it out!" the Professor yelled.

Daiya nodded his head in agreement "Pocha-chan, use your Yawn attack!"

Pochama just sat there bewildered and yawned a little, Daiya was new to battling thus didn't know the effect of Yawn or how it was meant to look. "…Professor, Pocha-chan isn't doing anything" he said as his eye twitched a little with rage.

"Trust me, it is doing something, just take a look at Mukkuru now" replied the Professor as he pointed at Mukkuru. It's enraged expression had totally been whipped from its face, it was starting to doze and hit the ground.

"Well, I guess this is where I use the Pokeball… Mukkuru, return" Daiya said with a sigh of relief. He looked at the professor and asked nervously "Can I… er, keep it?"

"Sure, he was the outcast of his family, they loved him, but they hated him too. They had that kind of relationship that lots of families have" the Professor told Daiya.

"Unconditional love?" Daiya asked as he looked into this Pokeball where Mukkuru was being held. "Anyway" he grinned "Congratulations on helping me catching my first pokemon, Pocha-chan! I'm not great with nicknames, so I'll just call you that from now on." he then focused on Mukkuru "Belligerence, that's what I'll call you Mukkuru" he grinned.

"Or Bell for short!" Hikari piped up "And you, my little Tortoise" she said as she threw her ball which released a Penguin pokemon, Pochama. It had the looks of a baby penguin, just a much lighter blue "You're my little Naava."

"Naava? Sort of sounds like Prada." Daiya mentioned.

"That's the intention" Hikari grinned, wickedly.

"Oh great, traveling with you is going to be fun" Daiya said, rolling his eyes.

"And of course, an extra four Pokeballs for you, Daiya and five for you, Hikari. These are your Pokedex's, I've stored your trainer identification on to them" the Professor said, handing Daiya four Pokeballs and a steel blue Pokedex and Hikari five Pokeballs and a thistle green Pokedex.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Hikari cheered as she put her white hat on.
