An Altered Journey Chapter One: Meeting Colin
Colin was sitting down in the Gym stands, observing his father battle. He was opposing a challenger from Twinleaf Town. This was a common sight for Colin, as his father was the Oreburgh City Gym leader, Roark, who had to attend challenges from trainers all the time. Roark's only Pokemon remaining was his trusty Cranidos; as the challenger had knocked out his Geodude and Onix.
"Cranidos, try to finish up with a headbutt!" His Cranidos charged forward towards the challenger's Grotle. "Let it come in close, then absorb!" The challenger called out to his Pokemon. His Grotle did exactly as his trainer commanded. The absorb had caused Cranidos to fall over, drained of all energy, and pass out. "Cranidos is unable to battle, Grotle wins! Roark of Oreburgh City has been defeated by… Lucas of Twinleaf Town!" Colin called out, as he was supposed to be acting as the referee of the Pokemon battle. This put a smile on not only the challenger's face, but two more teens standing about ten meters behind him standing off of the battling field, with a Piplup and Monferno beside them.
"Here's the coal badge, kiddo". Roark said warmly to Lucas, handing him the badge. Lucas quickly put the glistening object in his badge case, which already had his trainer card inside. Lucas then heard Roark start to talk again. "Say, you're Professor's assistant, aren't ya?" "That would be me, sir" Lucas responded , as if only to please the red-haired gym leader. " Did you get the request I sent to the Professor?" "Indeed" Lucas replied, before walking over to Colin, who was only a few metres to his left. Lucas pulled out a pokedex of his bag, and passed it to Colin. Colin then showed it to the Riolu who had been sitting on Colin's shoulder the entire time. The Riolu then observed the electronic as Colin navigated it's features. " Are you ready to begin your Pokemon journey?" Lucas asked him. Colin went wide eyed before looking at his father, then nodding. "I've already had some experience; I've already beaten dad, but I suppose that was to the type advantage Rioluhad over Dad's rock types". Lucas smiled. He was gonna like this kid.
"What's the referee doing coming over here?" The blond kid asked Lucas. " He's coming with us". Lucas answered. "Colin Hyouta?" The son of Roark, coming with us? "Yes, Barry, son of Frontier Brain Palmer, I'm coming with you". Colin retorted. Barry blushed. "Hi, I'm Dawn" The other teen said. She had greyish hair and wore a white and pink hat (Like from platinum). The hair color/colour she had was very similar to Lucas' (He also was wearing his stuff from platinum). "Nice to meet you" Colin replied. "What are your ambitions?" Dawn asked. "Huh?" Colin replied, sounding confused. "I mean, what do you want to do on you're journey." Oh, my mum's/mom's cousin Professor Sycamore wants me to study mega evolution for him". "Sounds cool" Barry commented. "Yeah" responded Lucas. "Do you only have Riolu as a Pokemon? "Yeah, but Riolu is looking forward to making friends"; Colin said this as he was stroking Riolu's head. "Let's go catch you a Pokemon then!" Barry yelled. The four teens grinned and ran outside. Barry's Monferno and Dawn's Piplup followed them, but struggled to keep up.
That's what I've written so far. This is my first fanfic and the story will change in another direction. Leave some reviews so I know where to improve , and keep on prepping for sun and moon. The Weavilist is out.
