Here is something I wanted to do for a long time.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon
It was dawn in the small town called Twinleaf town. Starly's were chirping and everyone was prepping for a brand-new day. In one certain house there was a boy who had gotten fully in a red long-sleeved shirt, black demi pants and white shoes. He had short black hair and brown eyes. His name was Lucas. Currently he was watching a news story of the famous Pokémon Professor Rowan returning home to Sinnoh, after a long stay in Kanto. As the show had ended he turned off the TV and went to his desk.
"HEY LUCAS, DID YOU SEE THE NEWS?!" A sudden burst caused Lucas to jump in shock as he turned to see his childhood friend had barged into his room…again.
"Dammit Berry! Can't you knock?" Lucas grunted as he calmed down. Barry was a blond kid the same age as Lucas and the two had known each other their entire lives. He wore an orange and white stripes sweater, Black demi pants and tan shoes.
"Oh, don't worry about that now, there are bigger things going on! Professor Rowan is back in Sinnoh!" Barry exclaimed excitedly.
"I know. I was watching the news before you barged in." Lucas explained still annoyed at his friend's behavior.
"Do you know what this means? We can-hey is that a new computer?" Barry asked sidetracked.
"Focus Barry"
"Right! As I was saying, we can ask Professor Rowan if he could give us some Pokémon, and then we can finally become trainers like we always wanted!" Barry explained. Lucas smiled at that. The both really looked up to Barry's dad, who was an amazing trainer, and hoped they could be amazing trainers like him one day.
"All right, so what are we waiting for?" Lucas asked, former annoyance gone in an instant.
"You! Let's hurry! If your late, I am fining you 1 million Poke dollars!" Barry shouted as he bolted out of the house as fast as he entered. Lucas just sighed. Barry was his best friend, even a brother to him, but man was he active. Lucas just knows that he is going to hurt himself one day.
As he went downstairs, he saw his mother also watching TV. As he entered the living room she turned to see him.
"Hey honey, I see you're up and at em. Barry just bolted out of the house as usual. I'm just glad he at least knocked this time." She chuckled along with her son.
"Yeah, I'm heading out to join him. I'll see you later mom." Lucas said as he grabbed his blue and black coat, red hat and dark blue backpack as he walked out the door.
"Hold on Lucas; just be careful to avoid the tall grass. You don't have a Pokémon to protect you." His mother called out.
"I got it mom." Lucas said as he left the house. He headed to the exit of Twinleaf town located to the north but didn't see Barry.
"Excuse me, have you seen Barry?" Lucas asked a nearby guy. Being a small town, everyone knew everyone.
"You guys hanging out today? Man, you guys are tight. Anyway, he bolted back home a few seconds ago. Must have forgotten something again." The man said chuckling
"He'd forget his head if it wasn't attached to his body." Lucas chuckled as he headed to his friend's house. Just as Lucas was about to knock, the door flung open (Thankfully it opens inward instead of outwards) and said friend plowed right into Lucas slamming them both to the ground.
"What was that all about?" Barry whinnied.
"ME? Watch where you're going" Lucas complained
"Err sorry. Anyway, I'm heading up to the lake. It's a million dollar if you're late!" Barry stated as he dashed off before Lucas could even respond. Then immediately dashed back running up to his room.
"OH, CRAP I FORGOT SOMETHING!"
Lucas decided to step in and say hi to Barry's mom. While Barry ran downstairs in a matter of seconds.
"All right, all set. Let's go!" He said as he bolted again.
"There he goes again. Here and back and gone again like his head his chopped off." Barry's mother said with a sigh.
"Well, it was nice seeing you again, I better hurry up before he leaves without me." Lucas said heading out.
"Stay safe and keep an eye on him." Barry's mother said
Lucas caught up to Barry who had a slight annoyed look. "You're late! You owe me 1 million Poke dollars."
"Hey, I got here earlier, but had to go look for you! You owe me 1 million Poke Dollars!" Lucas retorted
"Now isn't the time for that! Let's get going!" Barry retort with a sweat. Lucas complied as wanting a Pokémon far outweighed arguing with Barry. "Let's see, Professor Rowan's lab is said to be in Sangem town, which is to the east, so let's go!" Barry said about to head out until Lucas grabbed him.
"Hold it! You know the tall grass is dangerous. Wild Pokémon can attack at any time, and we can't protect ourselves!" Lucas warned
"Don't worry, I have a full proof plan!" Barry said
"Uh-oh" Lucas mumbled
"See, all we have to do is just quickly scoot over to the next patch of grass as fast as possible, before any wild Pokémon can get us. We'll be in Sangem Town before you know it."
"No! That's a horrible idea! The noise would just attract them even more!" Lucas warned, but Barry was already getting ready.
"Ready, set…" Berry got ready to run, as Lucas got ready to tackle him before he could do anything stupid.
"STOP!" Barry and Lucas stopped dead in their tracks as an elder loud voice snapped their attention behind them, as an old man in a Brown trench coat, black pants, a blue sweater vest and a brown tie and shoes ran over to them. He had quite a frightening face to him as he glared at the two boys.
"What on earth were you boys thinking? About to go into the tall grass like that? It doesn't look like ether of you have any Pokémon on your ether. Are you trying to get hurt? Many Pokémon may be friendly creatures most of the time, but some can be very territorial." The old man lectured.
"Hey, isn't this old guy the famous Professor Rowan?" Barry whispered to Lucas who could only nod.
"Well?" Prof. Rowan asked still wanting to know why the two were acting so reckless.
"Uh, we were hoping to get some Pokémon. My friend and I always dreamed of become Pokémon trainers, and when we heard you were back in Sinnoh, we were hoping you could help us." Barry explained. Prof. Rowan seemed to be in deep thought, albeit speaking out loud.
"Hmm, they were about to enter the tall grass because they wanted Pokémon. Hmm…what to do…Their worlds would definitely change if they met Pokémon, but is it right for me to put them on that path?" He then turned to the two boys. "Do you two truly love Pokémon?" He asked
"Of course!" Both boys answered immediately.
"Let me ask you one more. Do you both truly love Pokémon?" He asked
"You can ask us as many times as you want, but our answer will never change. We both really love Pokémon." Lucas said.
"…A pair of reckless kids about to foolishly enter the tall grass without Pokémon of their own, makes me wonder what they would do with Pokémon of their own." Prof Rowan responded with skepticism in his voice. Barry flinched at that.
"Then, forget about me and just give a Pokémon to my friend here. I was the one who was about to enter the tall grass and Lucas was trying to stop me." Barry explained much to the other two's surprise.
"No wait, Barry may act like an idiot, but he has a big heart. He cares about others and is really good at playing with his father's Pokémon. Give him another chance, please!" Lucas pleaded.
"Well, how admirable for you both to stick up to each other like that. Very well, I will give you both a Pokémon. I apologies for putting you both through that exercise. However, I want you both to promise me to never recklessly endanger yourselves like that again." He said much to the two boy's joy as they both nodded.
"Good, now where did I leave my briefcase…" The professor pondered as he looked around for said brief case until a girl around Lucas and Barry's age appeared. She had a long-sleeved red trench-coat dress, with multiple pink buttons in it, a white bag, white over-knee socks, with pink hair-clips and pink boots
"Professor, you left your brief case at the lake." The girl said as she brought him said brief case.
"Ah, thank you Dawn, I was about to give these two a Pokémon of their own." He said much to Dawn's surprise.
"Are you sure Professor? These Pokémon are exactly easy to replace." She said
"Hm. We exist side by side with Pokémon. There comes a time when people should meet Pokémon. There is a world that should be explored together. For them, today is that time. The place, right here." Professor Rowan said as he gestured Dawn over to the two. "This is my assistant Dawn." He introduced.
"Hello." She greeted.
"I'm Barry, and this is Lucas" Barry introduced, as Lucas waved.
"Alright then, inside this brief case is three Poke Balls. Chose one to be your partner." Professor Rowan said as Dawn opened the brief case in front of the two boys.
"Wow, this is like a dream come true!" Barry said in awe at the three Poke Balls in front of him. "You can pick first Lucas, I am practically a grown up."
Lucas rolled his eyes at his friend's comment as he pondered which Poke Ball he wanted. In the end, he just chose to close his eyes and pick one at random. He pressed the button and threw the Poke ball as a creature appeared in a flash of white light.
Out of the light came an orange monkey-like Pokémon with a flame for a tail.
"Chimchar!"
And Done. I hope you enjoy this story so far. I'm trying to work on my format
This is a Pokémon Platinum novelization with some changes to it. Some of Barry and Dawn's Pokémon will be different than in game. As for Of Key and Sword Kingdom Hearts, don't worry, I am working on it.
