A Journey
By Valco87
Vita: Hi, welcome to Valco's first fanfic!
Bob: A-HEM! Valco isn't the only writer here you know.
Lanturn: Yeah! I'm helping too!
Valco: Hey, can we just get on with the story here? Yes, it's a first, and no, I'm not alone! Vita, go ahead.
Vita: As I was SAYING. * glares at Bob and Lanturn * nobody here owns anything, although Valco is working at owning Lanturn as a slave.
Lanturn: WHAT???
Valco: * glares at Vita who is spoiling her plan * Bob, your turn.
Bob: * not the least bit worried * Now to the actual story, I hope.
(A/N: No, I do know how to type in paragraphs, but FanFic has decided it doesn't like my story, so I am fighting to make it work correctly. Please be patient, cus I have to be too!)
Chapter One: Hello... Baby?
I ran up the walkway to Professor Elm's lab. He was just opening the door when I arrived at the top step.
"Hello, Professor," I panted, "You wanted to see me?"
"Why, yes, Nicole, I did! Please come in," he said as he stepped out of the way for me. "Oh, and, uh, please catch your breath while you do. You'll need it for this."
As Prof. Elm lead me into the main room of his lab, his assistant came running out of the observatory room.
"Professor! Professor!" Elm looked up in surprise.
"Yes, Kory, what is it?"
"Professor, it's happened! The Pokeball has opened!!"
"Well," gasped Elm, "what's inside the thing?"
"That's just it, Professor, I don't know. I've never seen anything like it before!"
"Let's go have a look then!" shouted Elm as he dashed off towards the observatory. I, apparently forgotten for the moment, was not far behind. The already winded Kory followed soon after.
Inside, sitting on the center table, was a strangely shaped Pokeball. But it was obviously a Pokeball, as it was rounded in shape, open, and a Pokemon was sitting beside it. This Pokemon was just as unusual as its Pokeball. Light teal in color, it had a dark blue diamond on it's forhead, dainty paws and small white dots along it's side. A small purple cape was draped regally over it's back, while two small white tails curled around it's body, resting on its two front paws. The snow white belly and muzzle made it seem all the more innocent.
Everyone stopped as they entered the room, and the Pokemon looked up. "Kan?"
"Oh. it seems to be a Baby Pokemon of some sort. But what?" Elm mused. While he and Kory were caught up in their speculations, I'd noticed something about it. It seemed to be somewhat lost, and looked as though it needed assurance. This was, after all, a strange new place. Without thinking twice, I slowly walked over to it, so as not to scare it, and kneeled down to look it in the eye. Elm and Kory watched my approach carefully, ready to jump in if I was attacked. But the cute little Pokemon did nothing but look at me. Like as if it needed something that only I could give it.
"What do you think its name is, Professor?" I asked quietly. I was so enamored by this sweet little Pokemon's cerulean blue eyes that I almost didn't hear him reply.
"Well, uh, I don't know," replied Elm, a little confused. "I've never seen one either. It does look a lot like a certain Legendary, though..." He paused, then went into another room and came back a moment later with a Pokedex, like what trainers use to identify Pokemon in the wild. But when Prof. Elm pointed it at the Pokemon, it started naming Pokemon species, starting with what it seemed to match closest characteristically. The second Pokemon named was Suicune, and at that name it flinched.
"Kan!" It jumped at me, and I caught it with out even thinking.
"Put that thing away, Professor, you're scaring it!" I snapped at him, angry that this precious Pokemon was being treated like a culture slide. Elm, quite surprised at my assault, stepped back and said,
"All right, Nicole, I was just trying to figure out what it could possibly be."
"Well, why don't you just ask it!" I snapped back. With that, I turned to the Pokemon, now very comfortable in my arms, and said, "Say, what kind of Pokemon are you, anyway?" It looked straight in my eyes and replied, "Kanaun!", then went back to nuzzling me.
Elm blinked. "Kanaun? Hmm." Kory's eyes went wide, and he ran out. Elm and I followed him. We found him in his room staring at a picture in what looked like a fairy tale book. He looked up at the Kanaun and back down at the picture. I leaned over his shoulder and read the caption out loud.
"Suicune, the legendary water-dog, has been seen with a smaller version of itself. Legend says that the two are somehow related. In one account, two Suicune were spotted with one of these unknown Pokemon, and they seemed to be..." I gasped as I read the last two words. "...It's parents!"
"You mean that this Pokemon IS a baby Pokemon??? A SUICUNE baby!!??" shouted Elm, dancing up and down in excitement. Then he stopped abruptly. "Wait! There's supposed to be only one Suicune in the whole world! How could there possibly be a baby Suicune?"
Valco: My attempt at a cliffhanger. did I do good? * looks around for support *
Vita: *pats me on the back * Very good, my young trainer.
Lanturn and Bob: * sweatdrops *
Valco: * grins wildly * Yay! Ok, R&R and I'll get the next chapter up soon, I promise! Though my school don't, but don't worry, after this week I get till January 3rd off! Christmas break and all... Oh, and I hope you don't mind, Sera, but I was reading all your Pokemon fanfics and fell in love with the idea of PokePartners (aka muses), so I invited a friend or two along! If you mind, I can always recall Vita...
Vita: NO!!! * panics * PLEASE, SERA, DON'T MIND!!!! * whimpers * font size=2It's dark and scary in there.../font
Bob: Sheesh, for a Tyranitar you're pretty pathetic!
Vita: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!
Lanturn and Valco: * sweatdrops *
