Edit: Arceus's hoof, how did the previous one came out as an abomination of codes? I was going to upload the second chapter when I saw the mess I dared to call 'story' . Anyhow thanks to St Elmo's Fire & JustinThePokemonMaster for pointing out the horrific mistake that I shamlessly comitted, truly greatful you two :D
So this story will be rated T+ (or M, I don't know) for reasons , no not lemons , go figure it by yourself because i think i'll spill the beans if i told you the reason why.
oh yeah disclaimers and stuff . Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or any character in this story except for my OC. If I did own Pokémon , Ash wouldn't be the hero of the anime. so without further ado, lets begin.
.
.
Pride.
A word so simple, yet so powerful when it becomes a primary. Pride defines strength. Defines valor . Defines bravery.
Pride is the only thing that keeps you from losing. When your pride is on the line, everything is expandable.
.
.
Pride is a delusional thing. What people see it a way of life, others see it as a dangerous lust for greatness . To maintain your pride , you must be willing to sacrifice all, you must be willing to pay with sweat , tears and blood . You must be willing to sacrifice friendship, love, family and even your own life to keep your own pride unharmed and unscathed.

It was a sunny day in Olivine city, Johto. A cruise ship is about to set sail to Slateport city in the tropical region of Hoenn. Aboard the ship stood one of the passengers looking at the vast blue sea . his dark blue eyes stared dully at the direction which he believed that his destination lies there. The cool sea breeze brushed against his jet black hair, swaying part of his silky hair against his face. He wore a black t-shirt with red stripes that went from its neck to the arms . The pants were black color jeans and his footwear was a desert boot (A/N: I suck when it comes to details) . tightening his grab around his heavy backpack, he narrowed his eyes and gave his homeland one final look before the ship set sail. " I'm going to miss this land dearly. But I must start a new page in my life. I will leave the past behind and live a new life, away from all this". Closing his eyes, He sighed deeeply and returned to face the sea once again, it'll
be a long way to reach Hoenn and he had plenty of time to ready himself to meet the very reason he decided to leave Johto and come to Hoenn.
A day has passed and the cruise ship finally docked at Slateport's dock. The first word that came out of the young man's mouth was "This place is ridiculously hot". If he had a penny for every person that came up to him and suggested changing to a more suitable clothes for this climate, he could've buy a max revive. Although it was his first moment to Slateport city or any Hoenn city, he had to catch the ferry that would take him to the west of Petalburg city. Sprinting like a Persian, he ran towards the ferry that was docked near where the cruise ship is. He had to buy a ticket for the ride, and to his luck, there was a counter nearby.
The ferry ride to Petalburg was by all means boring, while it was short in time, the children trainers aboard the ship made it annoying for the young man. They made him wish he had a sign around his neck that says " NOT A TRAINER, GO AWAY!". The moment he set a foot on the land near Petalburg city he had to run away from those annoying kids who tried over and over to challenge him. Catching a bus heading for Oldale town and Littleroot town, he finally sighed in relief. although he was no longer running, his heart ached every time he reminded himself that he is getting closer and closer to his destination, Littleroot town.
The bus came to a stop for the second time and it was just as he predicted, a small town in the middle of the woods with few houses scattered here and there. the sun was still shining although it was late afternoon. "hmm. i guess i underestimated this region's climate more than I should." tightening his grip around his backpack straps, he walked towards the town, hoping to find one of the locals to guide him to his destination. when he passed the first two houses that stood on both sides of the path, he saw young girl not older than he was, maybe a year or two younger. She had a brown hair that splits into two bangs that goes down both sides of her face. She wore a scarlet tank top with black undershirt, white short shorts with black short leggings underneath it, yellow black ankle boots with orange soles, a cherry red and white bandanna that goes in a knot on top of her head. She was busy feeding a Pokémon that looked like a small chick with orange feathers.
He approached the girl and when he thought he was close enough he cleared his throat to get her attention. The girl let out a small humming sound and turned to face the young teen, her sapphire blue eyes filled with sheer happiness met his deep, dull blue one .He stared blankly at her making the girl tilt her head in confusion. "Uhh… yes?" She raised an eyebrow waiting for him to reply . "Excuse me, young lady. Do you know where the Kodas live?" they teen asked, scratching the back of his neck nervously. The girl looked at him for a second then asked curiously "Why do you ask? Also I don't know who you are? Didn't your parents teach you how to formally address yourself to a lady?" She scoffed at the boy in front of her and rested her hands on her hips. Looking at her, he let out a nervous laugh "eheh, yeah sorry about that . My name is Kaito Koda. Son of Kaiser and Catherine Koda. nice to meet you, miss?..." Kaiser shook the girl's hand slowly before letting go . The girl giggled for a moment before clearing her throat " My name is May Maple. My father is Norman maple, former gym leader of goldenrod city in Johto and present Gym leader of Petalburg city here in Hoenn. " She then pointed at house across the street "And to answer you first question; yes I know where your family lives, the house
is on the opposite side of my home. Do you want me to walk you there or not?" Kaito shook his head and looked at where May pointed " Thank you, miss Maple. But I want to do this alone. I'll see you later, goodbey." Kaito waved at May before heading towards his home, thinking of how he can greet his family properly without crying in his parents arms. 'how long has it been since I last saw them? Two years? Maybe three? tsk, I really should have moved with them instead of staying back in Johto and-' he snapped back to reality when he almost bumped into the front door . Taking a look at the house , it didn't seem different than the rest of the houses in this town, two story house, light brown paint , large windows, tall chimney and a lawn. Well it sure is different than his cramped apartment back in Olivine city, and the air sure smells more lively . Gathering up the courage to ring the bell, he listened carefully as heavy steps approached the door " Just a sec!." When the door was opened, a man in his late forties stepped outside, his hair was similar to Kaito's but it was turning grey by the age and a medium stubble beard, he had a stern expression and his eyes were the same deep blue as his son. For a man his age , he looked athletic if not a cross fit trainer. He wore a blue jacket with white t-shirt underneath, brown jeans and a jungle camo ankle boot. A single look at the boy and the man's eyes widened with surprise " Suicune's breath, It's you!" _
Well that was not half as bad as I expected it'd be, although I hoped I would reach 2000+ words by the first chapter . Hahahaha. Ha . Ha... yeah anyway this is the first chapter(duh!) and I really hope you guys enjoyed it. Review and write your honest opinion on this chapter , it will really help me progress . Yep...so see yea
