Chapter 1: Our Unova Journey Opens Up!
The Unova Region, truly a great place to live in. It's always so calm and peaceful here...most of the time.
That aside, I suppose I should introduce myself, my name is Elliot, and I live in Luxuria Town, it's this nice little place between Striaton City and Nacrene City, it even has a Battle Club!
I live just in a little house near the entrance, nothing fancy, just a plain old house. My room is on the second floor to the left, for you detail freaks out there.
I suppose my story gets to the GOOD part one morning. I remember I was having a lovely dream about...something, I forgot what it was, when something attached itself to my face.
"Gah! What the-!?" I prized the thing off my face and shook my head to properly wake up before staring at a cheeky grinning face. "Gligar! What the heck!?"
"Gligar!" He chuckled before hopping over to my calender and pointing at the current date, which was heavily circled and had big red words that read: 'JOURNEY STARTS!'
"You didn't have to tell me, it's the day our journey start! How could I forget?" I told him as I packed my bag.
Yep, I was 10, three months ago, but I stuck around to wait for my other friend to turn 10. His name is Cameron, and he's a bit...airheaded. We've been friends for as long as I can remember, and have always helped each other out.
Back to my Gligar, when me and Cameron were about five, my dad brought two Pokemon eggs home with him, he's a researcher you see, and he travels a lot. The eggs eventually hatched into my Gligar and Cameron's Riolu, and we've all stuck together since.
But now we were ready to begin our journey, and me and Gligar were gonna get eight badges and enter the Unova league!
I came out of the bathroom in my new journeying clothes. My physical features didn't stand out much, slightly scruffy dark brown hair with blue eyes and fair skin, but my clothes were awesome! A red zip-up short sleeve with yellow edges and pockets, plus my grey slacks along with my dark blue and white slip-on shoes, and of course my white and red backpack.
"You think Cameron's ready?" I asked my partner, to which he nodded. "I hope so." He hopped onto my head as I jogged downstairs, where I found some breakfast waiting for us. "Awesome! Cooked breakfast!"
"Your gonna need all the strength you can get for you journey." My mum said in the kitchen.
"Thanks mum." I called as I sat down and tucked in with Gligar having his own plate.
"It's good to see you going off with some independance." My mum smiled as I rolled my eyes. "But be sure to call me when you get to your first town."
"I will." I stated as I had a sausage whole.
"Have a great time though, make lots of friends, NOT just Cameron." She lectured. "And I'll be cheering you on every step of the way."
We finished our breakfast and Gligar took his place on my head. "Right, we're off!"
"Good luck, Elliot!" My mum waved me off.
"See you later, mum!" I waved back as I closed the door. "This is it! Let's go get Cameron!"
We arrived at his house and knocked on the door. Then waited a second, two seconds...five seconds...
"I thought he would be running out by now." I thought aloud, just as the door opened so I could see a drowsy Cameron in his PJ's with an equally tired Riolu.
"Hey Elliot." He yawned. "Why're you...here so early?"
"Don't you remember?" I asked in disbelief.
"Riolu..." His pokemon groaned.
"Remember what?" Cameron asked on the brink of beddy-byes.
"Our journey! It starts today!" I reminded him.
The duo instantly snapped to attention. "WHAT!? IT'S TODAY!?" "RIOLU!?" They slammed the door in our faces, and the sound of crashing could be heard from the other side of the door. Me and Gligar looked at each other with a raised eyebrow before Cameron and Riolu came bursting out the door panting heavily. My best friend was now wearing a dark yellow shirt, a light yellow neckerchief, a red bandanna, and shorts with basic shoes.
I facepalmed. "I knew you'd forget, your always terrible with time." That was another fact about him, but he was even WORSE with numbers.
"Yeah! I'm sorry!" He panted as Riolu gave him his traditional half-lidded look.
"Doesn't matter." I shrugged as I gave him a hand up. "Because are you ready to start your journey!?"
"MORE READY THEN I'VE EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE!" Cameron shouted.
"RIOLU!" Riolu copied him.
"THAT'S THE ATTITUDE!" I screamed.
"GLIGAR!" Gligar copied me.
"Hey Elliot! We gotta celebrate our journey starting!" Cameron exclaimed.
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked.
"Let's have a battle!" "Riolu!" The duo cheered.
"A battle, huh? Your on!" "Gligar!" We agreed.
We found a nice patch of ground surrounded by grass to battle in, we didn't use the Battle Club because Cameron had gotten banned from breaking some of the equipment last week.
"Okay, Gligar! This is our first battle on our journey, so let's make it count!" "Gligar!" He stood facing Riolu.
"Ours too! So let's do our best, Riolu!" "Riolu!" Our opponents fist-pumped.
"You can have the first move, Cameron." I offered.
"Thanks, Elliot! Riolu! Force Palm!" Cameron held an open palm out for emphasis.
"Riolu!" His partner ran towards Aipom.
"Gligar! Dodge and use Poison Sting!"
"Gliiiiiiigar!" Using its tail hand as propulsion, my partner launched himself into the air as Riolu could only brake and gape. "Gligaaaar!" Gligar pointed its pincers downward and launched countless purple needles into Riolu and launching it back.
"Your not the only one who can use moves like that! Riolu, Vacuum Wave!" Cameron pointed forward.
"Riiiiiiioooooo..." Riolu generated a silver twister around it, jumping up and crossing its arms. "...Lu!" Uncrossing its arms, a silver air wave was launched and hit Gligar midair, knocking him back down to his feet.
"Poison Sting!"
"Vacuum Wave again!"
The two attacks collided in an explosion, the smoke quickly faded. "Riolu! Force Palm!"
"Olu!" The pokemon charged again.
"Grab it!" "GliGAR!" Gligar flew forward and latched onto Riolu's head, making it panic.
"Now toss it!" "Gligligligligligligar!" Gligar did a loop-de-loop in the air before tossing it back at Cameron's feet.
"Ah! Riolu! Are you okay!?" Cameron panicked.
"Riiiioooooluuuu..." Riolu staggered around dizzily from its spinning.
"Now, Gligar! Acrobatics!" I cried.
"Gliiiiigar!" Gligar ran forward, before flying across the ground like Aerial Ace with two afterimages, ramming into Riolu. "Gar! Gar! Gar!" The Fly Scorpion pokemon repetitively rammed into the emanation pokemon until it fell back with swirled eyes.
"Riolu!" Cameron gasped.
"Yes! We win!" "Gligar!" We celebrated.
"Riolu? You okay?" Cameron asked as he helped the little pokemon up.
"Riolu..." His partner nodded.
"That was a cool battle, thanks Cameron, Riolu." I thanked them.
"No problem, but we're gonna have even better battles once we catch some more pokemon!" My friend declared. "We're gonna keep training 'till we win!"
"Riolu!" Riolu agreed.
"Well, we will too! We're gonna have an awesome pokemon team!" "Gligar!" We smirked. "So, where are you planning to head?"
"Nacrene City." Cameron nodded. "I got it all figured out, Riolu's a Fighting-Type, so he'll be strong against that gym."
'Wow, Cameron actually put thought into his plan.' I thought, impressed. "I'm gonna head to Striaton City and challenge the Gym there."
"Guess we're splitting up then." Cameron sighed. "But we're definitely gonna meet again!"
"Of course!" I agreed. "And we'll be even stronger next time!"
And so we shook hands and went our seperate ways. "Ready Gligar?"
"Gligar!"
"Then let's go! Our journey's begun!"
