"Pokémon Black and White: The True Legend"
Chapter 1 – How it all began:
This story is my version of the games of Pokémon Black and White. I hope you give this fanfiction a chance. I hope you enjoy this story.
At Nuevema Town:
"Yawn…" I woke up at my room. I sat up and looked around: the room was completely cleaned. Must have been mom's doing, since I came late and tired yesterday. As usual, my bed was in the corner, and my desk was right in front of it. My work desk was in the opposite corner, with a pc on it. On the other side of the room were (from right to left) the stairs, the trunk, the TV connected to a Wii, and a shelf full of books. "Mom must have cleaned the whole room while I was asleep… What the…?" I found a black string near the bed. I pulled it, finding my alarm clock on one of the ends, while the other end wasn't connected to the electricity. "Uh? Mom must have disconnected it the clock by mistake. What time it is?" I connected the clock back to the electricity, and when it showed me the time, my foggy eyes became wide and clear. "CRAP, I'M LATE!"
"BLACK! Hurry up!" the screaming voice that drilled through my ears caused me a headache. In clenched my teeth and fists and walked to the window.
"Shut up, White! Yelling won't solve anything!" I yelled, pissed off at one of my best friends: White. She has always been impatient. She was glaring at me. At her right, was Bianca, another one of my best friends. By White's left side was Cheren, reading a small book, another one of my best friends (Cheren, not the book).
"Hurry up for once!"
"Sheesh. Shut up for once." I murmured, closing the window. I quickly put on my usual clothes: blue jacket, red cap, black trousers, red sneakers, and a blue and black shoulder bag. In the way to the stairs, I stopped, finding a photo on the desk. I stopped to watch the photo of me, White, Bianca and Cheren. It was from yesterday: White's birthday. She became 14 years old, and that's the age to get our very first Pokémon. We all agreed that we should only receive our first Pokémon when we were all 14 years old. Poor Bianca. She had to wait the longest, since she's the eldest of us all (strangely enough, she's also the shortest). The photo had the image of me, Bianca and Cheren all next to White, who was in front of a white-creamed cake.
"Hurry up, Black!"
"Grr… I swear, one of these days, if she continues to do that…" I climbed downstairs, to the living room, so I could eat breakfast… as quickly as possible. I ate the two loafs of bread with Oran Berry jam and drank the juice. I kissed my mom's cheek, said goodbye, and walked out of the door as quickly as possible.
"Black!" Bianca jumped and hugged me before I could say anything.
"Calm down, Bianca." Cheren said, closing his little book and saving it in his back pocket.
"Hey, where's White?" I asked, noticing that White wasn't there anymore.
"She said she didn't want to wait anymore, so, she went ahead to the lab." Bianca explained, pointing to the lab.
"She's always like that…" I said, sweatdropping a bit. "Then? What are we waiting for? Let's g-!"
"Delivery." A guy with green clothes and silly hat almost appeared out of nowhere, startling me and Bianca a bit. "Delivery for a boy named Black."
"That's me."
"Here you go. Sign here." He handed me a big present box, with a big bow on top of it. I handed it to Cheren and signed the paper the delivery guy gave me. "Thank you."
"I wonder what it is…" I said, curious about the box. Cheren and Bianca couldn't help but stare at the box, just like me. I picked the box from Cheren's hands and took out the bow. Under the bow was a birthday card. I read it out loud, so Bianca and Cheren could know what it was written.
"Dear Black,
Consider this a delayed birthday gift. This is a present for you and your friends. Please choose politely.
-From: Professor Juniper"
"Wait. If it's a birthday gift for Black, why does it says that it is also for his friends?" Bianca asked, confused, with a puzzled expression.
"Black, what are you waiting for? Open the box."
"Ok, Cheren." I nodded and opened the box, and we all smiled widely (Cheren just smirked) by seeing that inside were 3 Poké Balls, each one with a different name on it: Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott.
"Since it was delivered to Black, he should pick first." Bianca said, with an enthusiastic tone of voice, anxious to get her Pokémon
"Agreed."
"Ok… Then… I'll pick Tepig." I said, taking the Poké Ball in the middle. I wasn't really sure which one I really wanted, but I took a risk.
"Ok, I'll take this one. Cheren, you get the last one."
"How come you get to pick my Pokémon?" Cheren asked, with an injustice tone in his voice. "Oh, never mind. I wanted Oshawott from the start, anyway." He took out the last Poké Ball of the box and I put the box next to the front door.
"Well, might as well say hello to our new friends." I said, taking out the sticker out of the Poké Ball. Then, I threw the Poké Ball to the air, making it open, letting the Fire Pig Pokémon out of it.
"Tepig! Tepig-Tepig-Tepig!" he seemed to be very enthusiastic to see me, his new Trainer. He was smiling widely, with his eyes closed. Bianca was starting to feel regrets in not choosing Tepig, but it had already been taken.
"Well, let's see mine." Bianca opened the Poké Ball, letting her Grass Snake Pokémon out of it too.
"Sni?" Snivy looked at Bianca, who was at her knees, so she could look at him closely.
"My name is Bianca. Nice to meet you."
"Sni." Snivy nodded and smirked, while crossing his arms.
"He's so cute!" Bianca held him in her arms and hugged him tightly.
"Sni…! Sni…!" Snivy was turning blue, running out of air.
"Bianca, stop it. You'll end up killing your Pokémon." Cheren said, picking up his Poké Ball. He then opened it, letting his Sea Otter Pokémon out of it.
"Osha! Osha-Osha-Oshawott!" the female Oshawott said, quite enthusiastically.
"Hello, guys!" said White, running towards us, holding a Snivy in her arms. Unlike Bianca's, White's Snivy was a female. "I see you also got Pokémons."
"Good thing you went ahead to the lab, otherwise, you wouldn't get a Pokémon." I said, recalling that the box only had 3 Poké Balls, and they were 4 in total.
"Well, we still have to go to Professor Juniper's Lab." Cheren said, making us dash to the lab.
At the Lab:
"I've seen that you received the package I gave you." Professor Juniper said, looking at my Tepig.
"Tepig-Te!"
"Why did you call us here, anyway?" Bianca asked, curious.
"Well, my name is…"
"Professor Juniper. Everyone knows that." Cheren interrupted, making a sweatdrop form on our heads.
"Come, come, Cheren! This is not the time to take things lightly." Professor Juniper continued. Everyone, except for Cheren, noticed that Professor Juniper seemed to be angry at him. "This is a day to remember, so behave with formality, even if you know my name. As I was saying, I gave you all a Pokémon because of…"
"The Pokédex, right?" Cheren asked, interrupting Professor Juniper again.
"*giggle* Pokédex?" Bianca asked, not really knowing about what a Pokédex was.
"I am astonished. Nice Work, Cheren." This time, she wasn't angry. "You've already studied Pokémons extensively, haven't you?"
"Of course he has." White answered for him. "He always has a book somewhere with him."
"He can become a teacher someday." Bianca added, thinking that what was happening was quite funny.
"C'mon guys, let the professor talk." I said, stopping the argument.
"Thank you Black. As I was saying, the Pokédex is a high-tech device that automatically records the Pokémons you encounter. So, I would like to request you all to go through Unova to complete the Pokédex. Will you accept it?"
"Of course." All of us said in unison, while nodding.
"Thank you. You've given the best answer possible." Professor Juniper turned around and picked 4 objects from the table. They were all equal, though they had different colors. They were all rectangular, with a black screen and a Poké Ball-like symbol. Professor Juniper gave the red and orange one to Bianca, the pink and white to White, the black and dark blue to me, and the yellow and brown one to Cheren. "You want to test them out?"
"I want!" I said, quite enthusiastically. I pressed the Pokédex's button and a second screen came out of it. I pointed the Pokédex to Tepig, making him do a puzzled expression.
"Te?"
"Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. It blows fire through its nose, when it catches a cold, the fire becomes pitch-black smoke instead. It can deftly dodge its foe's attacks while shooting fireballs. It loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp.
Height: 1'08"/0.5m
Weight: 21.8lbs/9.9kg
Gender ratio: 87.5% male – 12.5% female"
"Whoa… it really tells everything." I said, quite surprised by the wide information.
"True that. Let me try it." White said, putting her Snivy onto the ground. She then pointed her Pokédex to Snivy.
"Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. It is very intelligent and calm. Being exposed to lots of sunlight makes its movements swifter. They photosynthesize by bathing their tails in sunlight, and when not feeling well, their tails droop. It uses vines more adeptly than its hands.
Height: 2'00"/0.6m
Weight: 17.9lbs/8.1kg
Gender ratio: 87.5% male – 12.5% female"
"Hmm... I didn't knew that about Snivys." Bianca admitted, looking at her Snivy, who was being held in her arms.
"Let's see about Oshawott." Cheren said, pointing his Pokédex to Oshawott.
"Osha!"
"Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokémon. It fights using the scalchop on its stomach. In response to an attack, it retaliates immediately by slashing the foe with it. The scalchop is made from the same element as claws. It detaches the scalchop for use as a blade. The scalchop isn't just used for battle-it can be used to break open hard berries as well.
Height: 1'08"/0.5m
Weight: 13lbs/5.9kg
Gender ratio: 87.5% male – 12.5% female"
"Hm… a 1 in 7 chance. Not bad." Cheren admitted, knowing that a female Oshawott is hard to find.
"This thing is amazing!" Bianca said, scanning her Snivy, my Tepig, and Cheren's Oshawott.
"And it also tells your Pokémons attacks and abilities, to help you out in battles." Professor Juniper added, making us even more curious about the Pokédex. "Well, it's time for you to go home and pack the essential to start your adventure right away." She gave each one of us 5 Poké Balls before we could reply.
"Absolutely." We said in unison, while leaving the lab.
At my house:
"Hey mom, I have to pack!" I said, dashing to my room to get something's. "See ya later, bye!"
"Wait young man!"
"Uh?"
"Don't forget this." My mom approached me and gave me a strange wristband. "It's an Xtransceiver. With this, you can call me, the professor, or your friends at any time. Now, have a safe trip."
"Ok. Thanks mom." I quickly kissed her cheek and dashed out of the front door to meet up with the others. At the meeting point, only Cheren and White were there. "Where's Bianca?"
"She hasn't returned yet." Cheren answered, still reading his little book.
"Go check on her." White requested. I simply nodded and went to Bianca's house. I opened the door just a bit, because I was a bit afraid about what was happening inside the house.
"No, no, a thousand times no!"
"But I'm… I'm a good Trainer who got a Pokémon and everything! I can totally go on an adventure!" Bianca dashed towards the door, running from her father. I moved away, because I didn't want to be caught eavesdropping. Bianca slammed the door and leaned against it dropping a couple of tears from her eyes. She cleaned them and made a grin again, her usual one. I sighed in relieve and sneaked out of there before Bianca noticed me. I ran to White and Cheren and told them to be silent. They made a puzzled expression at first, but they nodded after. Bianca appeared soon after that.
"Sorry for the delay guys. I… had trouble finding my running shoes." Bianca said, sweatdrpping a bit, making a fake smile.
"Ok, then, are we all ready?" White asked, to be clear.
"Tepig-Te!" Tepig came out of my Poké Ball and smilled at White, nodding.
"Little dude, you can't randomly come out of the Poké Ball."
"Tepig?"
"Black's right, Tepig." White said, lowering to Tepig's height level. Then, she caressed the top of his head, making him feel happy.
"How about a battle?" Bianca suggested, out of the blue.
"Yeah. Why not?" I answered, thinking that was a good idea to start our adventure.
First match: Black vs Bianca!
Cheren and White backed off, so they could watch the battle.
"Let's do this, Tepig!"
"Te!" Tepig nodded.
"Are you ready, Snivy?"
"Sni!" Snivy nodded, just like Tepig.
"Begin!" White yelled, acting like a referee.
"Tepig, let's start with Tackle!"
"Tepig-Tepig-Tepig!" Tepig repeatedly said, dashing towards Snivy.
"Stop him with Vine Whip!" Bianca commanded, waving her arm to the right.
"Sniiiii-vy!" Snivy said, as two small pale yellow lights flashed where the yellow collar and Snivy's green skin meet, and a pair of green vines the same color as Snivy's skin came out from between them. The vines wrapped around Tepig's body, lifting him a couple of inches to the air. Tepig continued to act like if he was running in the middle of the air, until he realized Snivy stopped him.
"Now, slam him against thje ground!"
"Snivy!" Snivy yelled, slamming Tepig against the ground. Tepig was sent against my feet, but he quickly recovered.
"Tepig, try Tackle again." Tepig followed my command, and he dashed towards Snivy again.
"Snivy, use Vine Whip again!" Bianca said, as Snivy used his vines again.
"Jump!" Tepig jumped over the vines and landed on them, right in front of Snivy, making Snivy unable to use them.
"Sni?"
"Te!" Tepig had a confident look on his face, ready to win this.
"Smog!"
"Te!" Tepig nodded and released a thick, gray smoke from his nostrils against Snivy. He jumped out of the smoke and landed next to my feet. Then, Snivy fell out of the smoke, holding his nose. He then fainted when he hit his head.
"Snivy, you ok?" Bianca asked worriedly, running towards her fallen Pokémon. She hold him in her arms again and stood up.
"Sni…" Snivy nodded, becoming conscious again.
"I believe that now it's my turn to battle Black." Cheren said, approaching Bianca. Bianca nodded and Cheren took his Poké Ball out of his belt. "Oshawott, I call upon you!"
"Osha! Osha-Osha-Osha!"
"She seems excited. Tepig, you ready to continue?"
"Tepig-Te!" Tepig nodded, entering the battlefield again.
"Begin!"
"Oshawott, use Water Gun!" Cheren said, as Oshawott released a stream of water from her mouth towards Tepig.
"Te?" Tepig asked, as he got hit by the stream of water. "Teeee!"
"Tepig, use Tackle to counter attack!" I commanded, as Tepig shook the water from his fur and dashed towards Oshawott.
"Oshawott, use Tail Whip!"
"Oshaaaa!" oshawott said, as she jumped into the air. Then, she flipped frontwards, so her tail would be able to slam Tepig.
"Tepig, jump to the right!"
"Te!" Tepig quickly jumped away, and Oshawott landed on her tail.
"What?"
"Osha?"
"Now, Ember!" I said, as the orb at the end of Tepig's tail glowed orange and released a spiraling stream of red-orange embers from his nose against Oshawott, pushing her back a bit. The embers began to tickle Oshawott a lot, making her fell over, but still with energy. "Finish this with Tackle!"
"Oh no…"
"Tepig!" Tepig charged towards Oshawott and tackled her, sending her against the wall, making her faint.
"It seems you won." Cheren said, withdrawing Oshawott.
"Yeah. Good job, Tepig." I smilled at Tepig, and he smiled me back.
"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's start our adventure!" White said, making us start walking. We withdrew our Pokémons, and started the beginning of our journey.
Pokémons of the day:
Tepig - It can blow fire from its snout. Tepigs are very nimble, so can dodge attacks with ease. Tepig and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that can learn "Heat Crash".
Snivy - It absorbs energy in the sunlight via photosynthesis through the leaf on its tail to grow more powerful, which also sharpens its movements and agility. Also, Snivy its one of the few Pokémons able to learn "Leaf Tornado", the others being its evolutionary relatives and the following: Victreebel, Shiftry, Tropius and Carnivine.
Oshawott - It can fight skillfully by detaching the scalchop on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as a sword, shield, and boomerang. It also uses it to break open hard berries. The scalchop grows from its bellybutton. It's one of the few Pokémons able to learn "Razor Shell", the others being its evolutionary relatives and Shellder.
