NOTE - Dusk's character design is based on BW's female Ace Trainer
Come on! Where's the plane? Is that it? Yeah, it is! He's on that plane! Flipping sweet! This is it! My adventure is now, and there is nothing that can stop me here. With Pokemon at my side, I feel like I can defeat every Champion in the world! Well, that's what I'm hoping at least. After all, I don't have a single Pokemon yet.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name's Dusk, and I'm going to become an Ace Trainer. I'm fifteen years old and I live in Lacunosa Town. That's right, in the Unova Region. It's a quiet little town with a rich history. Ever heard of the legend of the extraterstrial Pokemon, Kyurem? They say that it used to live near this town. Perhaps its why this place can be so chilly year round.
You're probably wondering how I'm going to get a Pokemon if I don't live near a Pokemon Lab, or why I'm starting my journey so late. Well, my father went to travel the world on a special journey to find a Pokemon for me to start out with. So he left me and my mother to do just that. He wanted to find something perfect for me, and it only took five to do it. But he's coming home now and that's what matters.
This brings us back to the beginning, with my mother and I at the Lacunosa Airport, staring wide-eyed at the oncoming plane that my father and my partner Pokemon were in.
I was wearing a very special outfit on this day. It consisted of an orange and black blouse and skirt with black leggings and a long sleved undershirt. It wasn't my favorite outfit, but my father sent it to me while he was away, and I felt as though it would be fitting for today, especially since it was a traveling outfit, perfect for going on an adventure in. I always prefered blue in my clothing, but hey, I'm not picky. Although it did feel as though the skirt was a tad too high.
I also styled my hair in a special way; my wavy blue hair was tied into two long, curly ponytails that reached down to my back. A bond fasion statement if I do say so myself.
As the plane landed, excitement began to bubble inside me. And it subsequently exploded when I saw my dad walk though the gate.
"Daddy!" I screamed like a little girl as I wrapped my arms around my father's neck. Excuse my adolesent behavior, but when you haven't seen your father since your age was still in the single digits, it seems like a comfortable response for the situation.
My mother pryed my off of him. "Welcome home, sweetie." She said happily. You know, I'm like the spitting image of my mother. Really, the only differences between our appearence is that she's half a foot taller and her appearace is a bit aged. Oh, and she keeps her hair in a neat bun at the top of her head.
"Glad to be back." My father smiled. He had dark, curly hair was wearing a brown business suit. I found that to be odd, but who gave a Shellder? I was getting a Pokemon today!
My dad picked up on my excitement. He's spiritual like that. "Looks like someone wants to meet their new Pokemon."
"Yes! Yes! Good Arceus yes!" I shook my father. As you can see, I'm a tad excited. Did I metion that before?
A massive Pokemon walked behind my father. It looked like a pig, with black fur with yellow patterns. It had a beard of fire around his neck and a menacing look in eyes. Basically, it was an absolute badass. "Emboar." It said in a gruff voice.
I neared passed out from the sheer awesome of this Pokemon. "Is that mine?" I stammered.
Dad crushed my dreams as he shook his head. "Not at all. You really don't remember Hiro?"
"That's Hiro?" I gaped. Hiro was the name of my dad's Tepig. It was the cutest little pig Pokemon in the world. Now, it was this monster. God, I want one.
"Hiro, show Dusk her present." My dad commanded the Pokemon. Hiro pulled a napsack from over his shoulder and opened it. He pulled out a glass capsule with a pale brown egg with green spots.
"The Frillish is that?" I tend to substitute Pokemon names for curses sometimes. That way I can get my point across without getting a lecture about watching my language.
"It's a Pokemon egg that I got from an old friend. His partner had lain it, and, seeing how reliable it was, I felt it was perfect for you."
"What was it?" I asked as I took it from Hiro.
My father waved his finger in the air. "That's a secret."
Well this was unexpected. I was essentially trolled by my father and got an egg for a starter. Fantastic.
...
After our reunion at the airport, I decided to pack my things and leave for my journey. I was originally going to wait for tomorrow, just to spend some time with my first Pokemon. But I can't bond with an egg, now can I?
My mother gathered most of my things for me; A Berry Sack, a TM Case, Town Map, my Xtranseiver. The basics really.
As much as I would have loved to stay and listen to my father's stories, I had already heard enough of them from Xtransiever calls. I really wanted to go and explore the Unova region. I might even take on the Pokemon League.
I gave my parents hugs and kisses and the like and left my home. Just me and my egg. Arceus, this is dumb.
"You better be something amazing when you come out." I held the egg container tightly in my arms. I could be chillin' with a Tepig of my own right now. Hell, I could be chillin' with an Emboar now if I started five years ago like I should have.
I heard a scream from behind me as I began to leave the paved streets of Lacunosa. "Getoutoftheway! Getoutoftheway!" Before I could "Getoutoftheway", somebody rammed straight into me, causing me to fall forward. My egg fell on the ground and rolled about a foot away, thankfully unhurt.
"Oops! I'm so sorry!" I heard a girl say. I pulled my face from the dirt, and I completely lost it.
"The Frillish is your damage? You could have killed me!" I turned to face her, and immediately held my tougue.
The girl who bumped into me was the single most adorable person in the entire world. The girl had short blonde hair with a large green beret on top. She wore an orange jacket and bright green pants. Her face was was bright pink in embarrassment, and with her big green eyes behind her small red-rimmed glasses made her look especially cute. Just her flustered appearance just made me blush as well. Um, no homo, by the way.
"Sorry!" The girl whimpered. "When I run at full speed, I'm no good at turning. Call me a human Linoone!" She took my hand in hers. "My name's Bianca. What's yours?"
"D-Dusk!" I blushed even more. "Gosh, you're pretty." Again, no homo.
"Thank you!" She smiled. "Um, are you a Pokemon Trainer?"
"Technically yes." I picked up my egg and she giggled when I answered.
"Great! Then you can make use of this!" Bianca pulled a small device from a purse on her side. "You see, I'm looking for Trainers to give out Pokedexes to."
I've heard of the Pokedex before, but I had never thought that I would get one. I am never that lucky! I took it from her, expressing my dearest thanks.
"You're welcome. And also if you need any help on your journey, here's my number!" The blonde handed me a slip of paper as well. I nodded thanks and was about to walk away until I realized something.
"Ya know where the closest Gym is?" I laughed. Bianca tilted her head.
"I suppose you could go to Opelucid City. But the Gym Leader there is much too powerful for a beginning Trainer. Go to Opelucid and take a boat to Aspertia City. There's a Gym there that'll be just perfect for you!"
"Thanks. I'll see you then!" I waved goodbye and left the town.
As I continued through Route 12, my egg began shaking inside its glass chamber. I opened it up and took it out. It was becoming dark, but I was nowhere near the nearest town. My egg quivered as the shell began to crack and shatter.
"Something cool, something cool..." I muttered. "Screw it, I'd be happy with a Magikarp right now."
A burst of light escaped from the egg. When the light faded, I looked down with at the small bundle in my arms in confusion.
"Who's this Pokemon?"
