Cheveux Bleus?!
Chapter 1: Meeting Professor Sycamore
A/N: I do not own Pokémon, I only own my Ocs
I woke up early this morning. For today, I am going to become a Pokémon Trainer!
I instantly jumped out of bed, excited for the day ahead. I mean, who wouldn't be? I had a shower, which only took about ten minutes, then proceeded to my bedroom. There wasn't that much decoration as me (Soma), Mum and Heru (my twin brother and rival) had just moved into our new home in Coumarine City, Kalos. Me and Mum loved it there, Heru didn't. He had wanted to stay in Anistar City but me and Mum thought that it was much nicer here than the horrid apartment back there.
When Heru and I were smaller we used to live right near the famous Anistar Sundial. Heru and I would spend hours there, staring. Me focusing at the glistening, fuliginous reflection of the Sundial in the water. My brother staring at the object itself. He always found it fascinating how objects shimmered or deformed light in different ways.
Back to today, I was just getting changed when my brother barged into my room, yelling
"Why didn't you tell me it was this time already?! I am going to be late!"
In reply I yelled back "Get out I am getting changed!" I don't think it crossed his mind that he was in MY room whilst I was half naked. He instantly blushed and left. "Thank goodness" I said to no one in particular.
When I had gotten changed I looked at my reflection in my floor-to-ceiling mirror on the back of my bedroom door. I am not an arrogant person but, I do like how I look. I have blue-black hair to below my waist which has an almost cerulean blue highlights which I had had since I was born in a long plait, my eyes are the same cerulean blue as my highlight and I have quite tanned skin. Today I was wearing my favourite outfit, which consisted of: my pure white cycling cap, some blue skinny jeans, my blue ruffled Camisole, some black knee-high socks, my white Mary Janes'[1], a white strappy purse and a black feather accessory on my hat (that Mum had given me on my tenth birthday, last year). After making sure that everything was in place in my room, I went downstairs.
It. Was. Chaos. Mum was in tears cooking me and Heru breakfast, Heru was nose-deep in his Nintendo 3DS (completely oblivious to Mum's wailing), Blacky (Mum's Espeon, I know, ironic right) using Psychic on every piece of furniture and finally. The worst of all. Eifie (Mum's Umbreon) and Booster (Heru's Eevee) were bullying Ningyo (My Eevee). That was it.
"STOP!" I vociferated at them all. Then I started to command, which I only do when I have only ever done once, when Heru broke my Vaporeon doll at age four. "Eifie, Evie stop bullying Ningyo. NOW! Blacky, put the furniture down. In its rightful place. Heru put that DS down". After this everyone was glaring at me, but they did do what I said. Then all my anger vented.
I seated myself at the table whilst Mum brought in our breakfast.
"We will be back this afternoon Mum, to say goodbye before our journey begins. Then we will all be crying I'm sure. So shall we all save it 'til then" I said, gently to Mum.
"Yes, of course. I must look a mess" Mum replied, frantically.
"You look as beautiful as always" Heru complimented, I think. I have always found him hard to read, for as long as I can remember. Mum just smiled and wiped her cheeks with her handkerchief.
Whilst we were eating I looked over to my brother. Wow has he changed. He wasn't a typical boy his age: He had red (not ginger, red) hair with a highlight (like mine) in there but it was mostly covered up with the rest of the birds nest of a hairdo, He was lanky (yet developing some muscle) and he wore what he always wears; a red t-shirt with Mum's old work logo on it, some slightly red, baggy jeans and some brown high tops with red decoration.
After breakfast Mum checked that we had what we needed. She also gave us a town map and some of her famous Poké Puffs, giving me some of her Blue ones (which Ningyo adored) and some Red ones to Heru (which Booster found delicious). We started on our walk to Professor Sycamore's laboratory in Lumiose City. The biggest city in the entirety of Kalos. All we had to do was make our way through Route thirteen and make sure we went straight past Kalos Power Plant. I started off and then realised Heru was not walking.
"What's up with you, Slowpoke" I shouted to him.
"Waitin' for Chase" he replied, equally loud as me.
"Be careful or you might get both of you lost, I'm going on ahead" I called back.
"Okay, be careful. Route 13 is a desert"
"I will, don't worry."
I entered the gate for route thirteen at the edge of Coumarine City.
"Be careful a storm is about to set in on the East side of this route" the receptionist told everyone. "If you'd like to camp out here you're more than welcome. Be careful of other people though, thank you"
I walked up to her and inquired about the storm she said it was going to be a big one and people might be stuck here for a couple of days at least. So I obviously set out into the desert.
It. Was. Hell.
I had never seen a storm so big. I held Ningyo inside my jacket so she didn't get lost or wander off. "Let me out" she squirmed.
"No" I said back. "You might get hurt" I continued, with genuine worry in my voice. I had always been able to understand Pokémon, ever since I was little. I didn't really tell anyone though as most people thought I was weird anyway without knowing I can talk to Pokémon.
It took me about half an hour to get through route thirteen without getting lost. I didn't encounter any Pokémon thank goodness, or things could've gotten bad. I decided that I would go to the Pokémon centre before I went to the Pokémon lab. Just to make sure everything was okay with Ningyo. When I got there I was surprised to see Heru, Chase and Booster already there. I greeted them, after hitting my brother round the head for making such a dangerous trip as I knew he didn't go through route thirteen.
"Wait you went through Route 13. And you're still alive!" Chase said poking me; seemingly to make sure I was alive. Just in case.
"Yep" I replied. "Whereabouts did you two scurry off to avoid the 'storm' then?"
"Oh, we went around Route 13, up the river. Which I am NEVER doing again" he shivered at the word "river"; he had always hated bodies of water. Which I never understood. As I LOVED them!
Soon we had our Pokémon given back to us, Nurse Joy told us they were both in perfect condition besides Booster being a bit wet (which like my brother, he hated) and Ningyo being a bit sandy and dehydrated (which both her and I detested).
We soon arrived at Professor Sycamore's lab and proceeded in where we were met with a manic professor running back and forth in the lab repeating "No, there has to be more. Come on where are you lovely, lovely babies. C'mon" in each sentence however he would groan.
"Um, excuse us. Mr. Sycamore?"
"Ahh, Master Rogers, Master Moore and Miss MelodieDuRuisseau, I presume?" [2].
[1] Mary Janes' are a type of shoe you can buy for your character in Pokémon X.
[2] Melodie Du Ruisseau means "Melody Creek" in French
