First story! no flames!

I woke up in the middle of the night,pushed at the dark fox at the end of my bed.

"stop hogging the bed, Umbreon!" The little eeveelution regarded me lazily with one red eye, then shifted a little to the right, allowing me more leg room.

"Thank you" I muttered


The next morning, I woke up, to see that Umbreon was already gone. I grabbed the five other pokeballs from the table beside my bed, and after getting dressed, I left my room. I walked into the makeshift kitchen to see everyone else already up, and eating. My mom, Jovi,Prof Krane, and my best friend/protege,Michelle. Michelle's blue hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her Espeon sat next to her. I was walking in and nearly fell over, looking down, I saw Umbreon lying there, looking at me. He mewed softly.

"It's your fault for sitting in the way" He let out a small bark

"Bite me" He lashed out jokingly to bite me. I got up, and he followed me to the table where he sat and begged for my bacon.

"You know this stuff isn't good for you" I said, tossing him a piece. He rolled his eyes and left to eat it without me nagging him. I ate my breakfast, no really paying attention to the conversation in front of me.

"Micheal? Did you hear me?" Michelle asked.

''Huh?"

"I asked you if we were going to the krabby club to settle our tab with that sailor from Johto"

"Oh yeah" I said. "That guy is not getting away with taunting me like that" She smiled, and I nodded to Espeon, begging at her side. She sighed and gave her a piece.

"You two have to stop feeding those two at the table" Lilly said.

"Yeah,whatever" Lilly rolled her eyes, and continued eating. half an hour later, I stretched, and headed out back.

"Where are you guys?" I yelled. Usaring came out of the bush, and grunted affectionately at me. Primeape came swinging from the trees. Glalie came out of the bush, along with Arcanine. I sent them all into their pokeballs, and considered calling the last member of my regular team. hm...


I stared contently at the arriving harbor. I couldn't wait to get to Orre! Roughest region, say the people in Kanto, and now, I was ready to test it out. May was next to me, surveying the harbor

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked.

"I just can't wait to find a trainer to battle!" She rolled her eyes. When the boat finally docked, Max took off faster then the rest of us, wanting immediately to survey the place. I saw that a standoff between three people was happening, so I made a beeline to observe. A boy about my age, maybe older, was standing with a girl the same age. The thug opposite them was threatening them.

"You think you can beat me boy?" The sailor asked.

"Seeing as you a stupid thug,I could beat you with my eyes closed. The thug growled, and threw a pokeball, revealing a huge Typhlosion. The boy laughed, and nodded at something next to him. An Umbreon I had not seen before stepped forward. It had a white scar coming down from it's head,to the side of it's mouth. The tension crackled, and the thug made the first move.

"Flamethrower!" Typhlosion launched the attack.

"Hold" The redhead said. The Umbreon shifted on his haunches, and sat. The attack came closer

"Wait for it" closer

"Wait for it..." at this point, Umbreon could not have gotten out of the way.

"Now!" The attack flew, and Umbreon suddenly fizzled out of view. I gasped. No Umbreon could move that fast. Umbreon fizzled into view behind Typhlosion.

"Shadow ball!" The boy commanded. the ball hit Typhlosion straight on, knocking him flat on his stomach. Once the dust had cleared,it became obvious that it was a one hit KO. The thug returned is Typhlosion, and after swearing revenge,left. The crowd soon dispersed, and I approached the boy,Pikachu hot on my tail.

"That batle was awesome!" I said.

"Uh, thanks" He said.

"I'm Ash!"

"Micheal"

"Wanna battle? I bet I'll win!" Micheal snorted.

"What?" I asked, now angry.

"No one beats me" Micheal said.

"Yeah" the girl agreed.

"I can beat you!"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"YES!"

"I'll battle you to shut you up, will that work?"

"Yes!"

20 minutes later, I was facing opposite Micheal, and looked at Pikachu.

"Ready?"

"Pika!"


I watched Ash send Pikachu into the field, and I sighed. This guy,Micheal, had defeated a Typhlosion in one attack, he was no push over. The girl, Michelle, however was more entertaining to watch,partly because she was gorgeous!

"Would you like to go have dinner?" I asked

"No, I think I'd rather sit at home and do nothing."

"Beautiful, and forceful!" Max grabbed my ear and dragged me away. I focused on the battle which Micheal had decided to use his Glalie,which had already beaten Pikachu. Ash was yelling about cheating, and Micheal was yelling that it was Sheer cold, a one hit KO.


I was already taking a dislike to this kid, who didn't know how to take a loss. I rolled my eyes, as I climbed on top of Glalie's head, and he carried me over to Michelle.

"Come on Michelle, we need to get back to the lab,Prof. Krane will need us to run some errands for him"

"Wait" The other guy said. "Prof Krane?"

"Yeah"

"Ash, isn't that the one that needed you to come here?"

"Oh, yeah! Micheal ,we need to come with you to the lab!" I sighed, clearly not going to get out of this the easy way.

"Fine, but,Michelle, were gonna need to fly out of here"

"Oh, okay then. I'll go get my Flygon from the PC." Michelle, for a sandshrew that hated her, had received a Flygon from another Trainer. Thing is? Flygon loved her. Like legit, would do anything for her. I looked down at the pokeball in my hand, electric currents coming from it. I sighed. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten this one from the lab after all...

"What pokemon is in there?" Ash asked. I sighed. Time to give up the jinx

"Come on out...Zapdos" Everyone gasped as the legendary bird of thunder appeared in front of them. It screeched, and nuzzled me affectionately, which I returned with hugging his beak.

"How did you catch ZAPDOS?" Ash yelled.

"Long story short, it wasn't easy"

"I bet. It's in a POKEBALL"

"Yeah" Michelle returned, Flygon hot on her tail..

"Who's going with who?" I asked. Eventually, it was decided. May, and Ash were coming with me,while Brock and Max went with Michelle.

*Twenty minutes later...nearing the last spot of breathable air for humans...*

"DOWN!DOWN!" May yelled behind me. I had to admit, even I now thought that Zapdos was flying to high, even for him. I grabbed his yellow feathers, and yelled

"Down! The lab's down there!" Zapdos headed my command, and went down, Flygon following us. Once may had regurgitated her lunch,I leas them in to find , who was in his lab as usual.

"Hey,Prof. These guys say you called them here"

"Oh yes! You must be Ash,Brock,May,and,Max!"

"Oh yeah!" They replied.

"I assume your all trainer?"

"No,I'm not" Max said

"How old?"

"eight"

"old enough"

"huh?"

"in Orre,there is no age limit to trainers. Micheal once battled a 4 year old, for charity." I nodded.

"So what can you do about it?"

"Come with me. All of you" We all followed him to the secret area, where he had stored Lugia's masterball. On the table, sat three pokeballs.

"Since Orre received news of wild pokemon, more and more species have become available. You can choose, at the moment, a eevee,like Michelle, and Micheal, or a Trapinch, a very common desert species, good for desert battles,or a Wooper,good for tricking people into electric moves." Max considered these, while giving Umbreon and Espeon curious looks,then looked back

"Just one?"

"One."

"Well then...I choose,I guess...hmm..." Max was beginning to get me mad, and I was about to get really mad, until Krane stepped in

"I guess, If you really need it,you can have two" Max smiled.

"Eevee,for sure. And...Trapinch,because his eyes are sparkly." Max took them happily, and returned them to their pokeballs, Wooper hopped off the table, and went back to the door to the pond area in the basement, where Krane trained Wooper, and Surskits for beginners. Max happily thanked the professor, and I could see a responsibility speech on May's lips.

"Why don't you explain to them why there here?" I asked Krane nodded

"Well, I assume you know about the shadow incident?" they shook their heads

"Well,a criminal organization called cipher used evil pokemon to try and take over the world. But Micheal stopped them here in Orre, but I fear we haven't seen the last of them just yet,so I need you all to take these proto- type snag machines."

"No way!" I yelled. "I'm not traveling with him!" I pointed at Ash. He got angry

"Why not?''

"Because all your going to do is want to fight me!"

"Oh,really? How about a six on six? If I win,we travel with you on this mission. If you when,we won't"

"Deal"

Long first chapter,huh? anyway,remember to R&R!
