Okay, I had a Pokemon fanfiction in mind for my twelve man OC group. Quite recently though, I decided to put their info back under construction. So, that project's been put on the back burner because that will be following the anime. Sakura: So, where does that leave us? Well, I recently got the idea to put the group in different Pokemon games. It would be like a Let's Play video, only written. Since it will just be putting them into the game, I won't have to worry about adhering to the profiles I made of them. Caden: Okay, so who's going first? The de facto leader of the group. Rose. (Said person comes into the room) Rose: Someone call? Yeah, we were just about to start a new fanfiction with you as the lead. Rose: What does that mean? It means it's just gonna be you in this one. Rose: Okay…? The first game I'm gonna do is Fire Red, so I think we can all assume that she'll be wearing what the female avatar in the game wears. And it will also be just her mom, and where the hell are the dads in these? Caden: Knowing you, you'll probably touch upon that lightly. Yes, I will. Anyway, we need the disclaimer! Sakura: Wolf doesn't own anything related to Pokemon, she only owns her OC. Now, without further ado, the world of Pokemon awaits. Rose: Here we go. (Steps through a portal)
Chapter 1: The Start of an Adventure
Our adventure starts in a small town called Pallet Town. It's a fairly quiet town, a small and pretty place. The weather here is very mild and this is where many Trainers begin their journeys. This is the case for one such trainer. Her story begins today.
Of course, she's not aware of this yet. She's currently upstairs in her room playing a super nintendo system. Her name is Rose.
Rose has long straight light brown hair with a hot pink streak that reaches her waist. She had light peach to fair skin and bright green eyes. She has an athletic build with slender hips and a round-oval face.
She was very focused on the screen, furiously tapping away at the buttons on the controller. She kept going until she finally lost.
"Drat!" She growled, before sighing.
She shut off the game and looked at the time. She had been playing for most of the morning and it was now approaching noon. So, she decided this was a good stopping point and to go for a walk. She grabbed her hat, bag, and shoes and headed downstairs.
Her mother, Amanda, was downstairs sitting at the table watching TV. Rose came up and gave her a hug. "Hi, Mom."
"Hey, sweetie," Her mom hugged back. "Going out?"
Rose nodded. "Before you do, Professor Oak from next door was looking for you."
"Why?"
"He just said he needed you to come by the lab when you get the chance."
Professor Oak was a big time Pokemon researcher. He lived next door with his grandchildren, Daisy and Kaz. Kaz was Rose's age and was her friend when they were kids. Now, they're more like rivals and almost nothing more. Sometimes he would be civil to her, but that was rare nowadays.
"Alright." Rose sighed and headed out the door.
The lab was just a short walk down the road. When she got there, Professor Oak was waiting outside. He was an older man with short gray hair wearing a polo shirt and a white lab coat.
"Ah, Rose, there you are," He greeted her with a smile. "Come in, I have something for you and Kaz."
Rose nodded and they went inside. They headed back towards the main part of lab where a young man with spiky brown hair was waiting. Guess who that is?
"Gramps! I'm fed up with waiting!" Kaz complained impatiently.
'Still as impatient as ever.' Rose rolled her eyes, coming up beside him.
"Kaz, just wait! I'm getting to that!" Oak said, before turning to Rose.
He gestured to the table beside them, which had three Pokeballs on it. "Here, Rose. There are three Pokemon here. When I was young, I was a serious Pokemon Trainer. But now in my old age, I have only these three left. You can have one."
"Hey! Gramps! No fair! What about me?" Kaz complained.
"Be patient, Kaz. You can have one, too!"
"Where are your manners, Kaz?" Rose teased, walking over to the table. "Ladies first, don't you remember?"
Kaz glowered at her.
"Okay, you two, that's enough," Oak intervened. "Go on, Rose, choose one."
Rose looked at the Pokeballs, not sure what Pokemon are inside. She closed her eyes, thought it over, and then picked the one on the left.
"Okay, Pokemon, I choose you!" She opened the Pokeball, and out popped a Bulbasaur.
"Ah, Bulbasaur. It's very easy to raise and just as energetic. Do you want this one, Rose?" Oak asked.
"Yes, he's perfect!" Rose answered, holding her new Pokemon close.
Kaz walked passed her and picked the Pokemon on the far right, which turned out to be Charmander. "I'll take this one, then!"
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you kids like them. With these Pokemon by your side, you should have no trouble with any wild Pokemon you'll encounter."
Kaz then gets a look on his face like he just remembered something he had forgotten. "I almost forgot! Gramps, what did you call me for?"
"Oh, right! I have a request for you two," He walked over to a desk where two red handheld devices were. "On the desk here is my invention, the Pokedex! It automatically records data on Pokemon you've seen or caught. It's a high-tech encyclopedia!"
"That's a handy device to have." Rose commented.
Oak nodded. "Rose, Kaz, I want you to take these with you."
He gave them both one of the Pokedexes before continuing. "I'll also give you some Pokeballs, in case you find any Pokemon you would like to add to your team."
He gave both of them five Pokeballs. "Remember, when a wild Pokemon appears, it's fair game. Just throw a Pokeball at it and try to catch it! This won't always work, however. A healthy Pokemon can escape. You have to be lucky!"
The professor seemed to grow nostalgic as he went on. "To make a complete guide on all the Pokemon in the world… That was my dream! But, I'm too old. I can't get the job done. So, I want you to fulfill my dream for me. Get moving, you two. This a great undertaking in Pokemon history!"
"We're on it, Professor Oak!" Rose nodded, a determined light in her eyes.
"Alright, Gramps!" Kaz said, just as determined. "Leave it all to me!"
He then turned to Rose. "Rose, I hate to say it, but you won't be necessary for this."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, since someone is going to most likely get lost somewhere between here and the next town." Rose responded, messing with him.
"I will not! I'll borrow a Town Map from my sis! I'll tell her not to lend you one, Rose!" Kaz laughed at his comeback. "So, don't bother coming around my place after this!"
"She's probably still going to give me one anyway if I ask, since she likes me." Rose countered, not missing a beat and heading for the door.
"Wait, Rose!" Kaz called running around in front of her. "Let's check out our Pokemon!"
"Huh?"
"Come on, I'll take you on!"
"Oh, for Pete's sake," Oak groaned. "So pushy, as always."
He then turned his attention to the new trainer. "Rose. You've never had a Pokemon battle before, have you?"
"I've seen a few of my dad's old matches." Rose answered.
"So, you already know what a Pokemon battle is. Then rather than talking about it, you'll learn more from experience. Try battling and see for yourself."
Rose sighed. "Well, a Trainer doesn't back down from a challenge. Alright, Kaz, let's do this!"
Bulbasaur, who had been quiet this whole time, looked up at Rose and made a confused sound. "Don't worry, Bulbasaur, just do your best."
Bulbasaur nodded, determined to win.
"Let's go, Charmander!" Kaz called, his Charmander getting down onto the floor in front of them.
"Go get 'em, Bulbasaur!" Rose let her Pokemon down, too.
The Pokemon stared each other down for a moment, before Rose gave the first command. "Bulbasaur, use Tackle!"
Bulbasaur charged at Charmander, and rammed into him with a good amount of force to knock him back a couple of inches.
"Charmander, use Scratch!" Charmander returned that favor with his claws.
Since the Pokemon were still pretty low in level, this back and forth fight went on for a while. Eventually, both Pokemon stopped, breathing hard. They stood there, staring each other down, until Bulbasaur gave into the damage it had taken and passed out, giving the win to Kaz.
"Yeah! Am I great or what?" He cheered/gloated.
"Hm… how disappointing," Oak commented. "Though the battle was close."
Rose didn't respond, she just called Bulbasaur back into his Pokeball.
"Ok! I'll make my Pokemon battle to toughen it up! Rose! Gramps! Smell you later!" Kaz then raced out the door.
Rose just watched her former best friend go, before leaving herself. She pulled her hat down so no one could see her face.
It didn't fool the professor, though. He sighed, watching them go. "Kaz, you used to get into fights all the time whenever someone hurt Rose. Now, you're the one who's hurt her the most."
Rose headed back to her house, needing to heal her Pokemon and needing to talk to someone. When she got home, her mother could tell that something was wrong. She made her some hot cocoa and sat down with her to get her to talk. Once comfortable, Rose told her mother about what the professor had asked her to do and about the battle she just had with Kaz.
"Oh, honey, it's alright," Amanda tried to comfort her. "All Trainers lose at some point."
"I know." Rose sighed, still feeling down.
Her mother looked at her before, smiling a little. "Did you know that your dad lost his first fight with his rival when he was a kid?"
Rose looked up a little. "Really?"
Amanda nodded. "And you know what happened to him, right?"
"Dad became the Kanto Champion."
"That's right. So, what happens at the beginning doesn't matter, what matters is how it ends."
"I'll agree with that." They turned to the new voice to see Kaz's sister Daisy come in.
"Oh, hey, Daisy," Rose greeted. "What are you doing here?"
"Figured I'd come check on you," Daisy smiled kindly. "Kaz was almost bragging about how he beat you in a battle."
Rose sighed and went back to her comfort drink.
"I also came over to give you this." She turned to see Daisy place a Town Map beside her.
Amanda looked at her daughter. "Do you still wanna go?"
Rose looked at the map, finished off her drink, and placed the map in her bag. She got up and gave her mom a hug goodbye. "I've gotta get going."
Her mom smiled. "Be sure to come home every so often."
"I will."
"Good luck, Rose." Daisy smiled.
"Thanks, Daisy," She glanced down at the floor where Bulbasaur was napping, seeing that he was awake and rested. "Ready to go, Bulbasaur?"
The grass type gave a determined cry that sounded like a 'yes'. She called him into his Pokeball and headed out the door. A smile back on her face, she headed out of Pallet Town and into the world beyond it.
Got the first chapter of this one done. Casey: Hopefully, you'll be able to work on the anime one, and your other stories, too. Assuming school doesn't kill me or that the world doesn't end, like someone has predicted. Brian: Not again. Anyway, read and review, polite criticism is the best criticism, keep calm, live long, and anime you crazy kids. Update more soon.
Edit: I promise this is the last time I change this.
