Pokémon: Life in the future
Chapter 1: Other half of the family
Welcome to this new story, this is about old hero Ben moving on to the Hoen region but don't worry we will see plenty more of Sean in future chapters.
Ben had left Sinnoh for the Hoen region where he would meet up with his brother once again after so long of being away from him, the last time he had saw him was when he had turned 10 years old, which is now 4 years ago because Ben spent quite a lot of time in Sinnoh. He got off the ferry with his trusted Aipom on his shoulder and wondered around Slateport for 5 minutes before he caught the eye of his brother. He ran straight towards him and spoke to him after so long.
"Matthew, it's so good to see you again. It has been too long; I see you have moved into the water business. How is dad?"
"He's fine, I don't know if you've heard, but, he has become a gym leader."
"He has? But that means there are two water gyms here."
"He's not a water gym leader; he had to become a normal type gym leader."
"Oh, so that's why you moved into the water business."
"Yeah. Well, we better get you to Littleroot town where our house is."
"Come on then."
And with all that said and done, the two brothers headed north for a while until Matthew said they needed to go west to go to Littleroot town the easy way. They had to cross a body of water, but it was no problem for them, as Matthew's Pokémon knew surf. After that, they headed south and came to the small, quiet town of Littleroot.
Once they entered they house that had been handed down to Ben's brother after his dad had been offered his new job, as he had to live very close to the gym, in the event of an emergency. Ben also explained why Sean wasn't with him, and why he had to go to Sinnoh in the first place, and now why he was in Hoen.
"So you went to Sinnoh to take care of Team Rocket there, but once you defeated them there, you were told by professor Birch that there were traces of Team Rocket in Hoen."
"Exactly, and also, I'm here to take on the Hoen league, I didn't get a chance to finish what I started in Sinnoh."
"Well the first gym is in Rustboro City if that is any help."
"Wait. Rustboro City? That's where Sean said he would meet me in Hoen."
"Okay then, I guess I'll need to guide you there since I know the route there the forest like the back of my hand."
"Ok Matthew, so how long will it be until the professor gets back?"
"Don't know, could be a good while though."
"Hey, why don't we have a battle to pass the time?"
"Okay Ben, but I promise you, it won't be easy."
The boys stepped out of the house and went half way up route 102 and set the ground for the battle, and the rules.
"One on one, as I only have one Pokémon on me."
"Okay then, go Pikachu, no just joking, I've got a Mudkip. Go Mudkip."
"Hah still got the same sense of humour I see. Go Aipom."
"I've always wanted one of those." Said Matthew, as he sounded 8 years old, instead of 18.
The battle begun.
"Aipom use swift." Aipom's tail lit up and shot out loads of star shaped attacks. It hit Mudkip and it was dazed.
"Mudkip use mud slap." Mudkip was just about to throw mud at Aipom but…
"Aipom use double team." And avoided the attack.
"Now Aipom use focus punch." Mudkip was sent flying into a tree, struggling to stand up.
"Mudkip use foresight." Ben was baffled as Aipom wasn't harmed. Ben was eying up the win now and was going for a tactical win.
"Aipom use double team." Aipom was trying to duplicate itself before…
"Mudkip use water gun." Ben was shocked as there was only one Aipom on the battle field, and was hit straight in the face by the water gun, he was badly hurt.
"How did that happen?"
"Foresight prevents the foe from avoiding attacks."
"Right, Aipom use-." Ben was cut off by Matthew.
"Use water gun to finish this." Matthew was eying up a power win before…
"Aipom, use focus punch in the middle of water gun so it streams over your body, and continue to move forward." Aipom responded and did as it was told. It was a test of stamina for both Pokémon, but Mudkip gave way first. It looked like Aipom was about to use water focus punch.
"Aipom use the water focus punch." It was a big hit and Mudkip was lying still, he had fainted.
"Rats, return Mudkip. Well you are very good trainer if you can beat me on your first attempt. That doesn't happen very often."
The boys had been surrounded by the town's people of both Littleroot town and Oldale town. Among the crowd was professor Birch who came to them and said:
"You must to Ben, good to have you here, I've heard so much about you. You must come back to my lab so I can give you a Pokémon for this errand you must run for me."
"Okay professor."
They went back to the lab where Ben had a choice of two Pokémon: Torchic or Treecko.
"Hm, I've already had two fire types, I've never had a grass type before, and so I'm choosing this Treecko."
"Good choice, now you know what you have to do, finish off Team Rocket."
"You can count on me and Sean when he gets here."
"Very good."
And with all that behind them Ben and his brother Matthew went on the road to Rustboro and the first meeting of Sean in Hoen.
