AceBrown: Here's my OC Pokemon fic(s). I actually put in a lot more work into this than I initially intended. It's sort of a GSC remake as well. Here are some important notes.
*There will be 3 main characters just like the anime. This story will mostly progress through my OC, Adam. I got the idea from the Games (Ex. FireRed and LeafGreen). The first chapter will be from (OC)Adam's POV, the 1st main character, then after that will be regular audience POV.
**The color given is Old Gold because Old Gold is often associated with graduation ceremonies and Adam is a scholar of sorts. :P
***At the end of each chapter, I will post a bio of an OC of a character or /and some facts.
****I decided for my OC to start his journey in Johto instead of Sinnoh because it gave me more free will to do what I want and be creative, since Johto is the most outdated version..
*****The battling will mostly be like the game, except with some anime influences. Nothing crazy like a Pikachu thunderbolting a Rhydon though.
******Finally, ideas will GREATLY be appreciated. I got a basis for the plot/story, but I left it vague so I can improvise while I write.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Pokemon characters except Adam and his family.
Chapter 1: Johto Journey
"Sinnoh League! Join today!" said the announcer before I turned off the television. I tossed the remote onto my bed. The Sinnoh League was the "next big thing" this year for Pokémon battling. Most Pokémon trainers were probably heading there to compete. I wasn't a trainer yet…my mom didn't believe in letting a 10 year old leave home to go on a "journey", with Pokémon or not. So, we made a deal that at the age of 16, I would be allowed to pursue my dream of becoming a Pokémon Champion.
"Today is the day…" I muttered to myself.
Finally…
My name is Adam Storm. I'm 16 years old and I'm originally from Vermilion City, but we moved to New Bark Town in Johto 8 years ago because my mom was offered new job. Back in Vermilion City, I used to train with the Gym leader Lt. Surge. Now, I stay with my mom and two younger sisters, age 14 and 11. Currently, I was in my room preparing myself for my Pokémon journey.
I am fairly average height and weight for a 16 year old. I have light brown skin and white hair, displaying a very low fade haircut. I'm wearing my favorite baseball cap; it was mostly dark purple with a black wide triangle patch above the dark purple rim. In the patch, there was the symbol of a pokeball etched in green. I had it custom-made last year. I was born with thick eyebrows and "intense" eyes. This gave off the impression that I was emotionless (which is not really true). My eye color was dark amber, something I heard I shared with my father along with the white hair. I haven't seen him since I was three…my actual pupil was slanted (think Kiba Inuzuka). My nose was a little wider than average, average-sized ears, with moderately full lips. I think I look decent-looking if I do say so myself. The rim of my hat usually casts a shadow over my forehead so that only my eyes are seen (think Urahara from Bleach). I got on an all black, long-sleeved hoodie. Also, I'm wearing a light green 1-up Mushroom shirt underneath (Ha! XD). My hands are decorated with some black, fingerless gloves. As for leg-wear, I have on slightly baggy green army cargo shortspants. I have all my pokegear on a black belt around my waist. On my feet, I'm wearing some white and black sneakers with purple lacing (Rare Air Jordan XIII without the Nike sign). I was busy tying my shoelaces when I heard my mom call for me to come downstairs. I grabbed my white backpack and darted downstairs.
"You look so grown up, Adam!" said my mom as I walked into the living room. She was sitting down on the couch, watching the Food Channel. My mother was a teacher at the Pokémon Academy in Cherrygrove City. She has short black hair, barely touching the end of her neck, and was slightly big in size, but medium in height. She was a loving mother, but had a quiet nature; I believe I got my silent demeanor from her.
"Yeah, it's time I head off, Mom. It is 8:55 and I'm supposed to meet Professor Elm at 9." I said as I gave a small smile. I was finally allowed to begin my Pokémon Journey. My mother embraced me in a huge hug. As I left my house, my mom said in a soft voice,
"Don't forget to call when you reach Cherrygrove. And tell Professor Elm I said hello."
I nodded and walked out of the house. The weather was good, not too sunny. I placed my hands into my pouch and walked towards Elm's laboratory. I wondered how the Pokémon Journey would be. I heard that it was an exhausting and overwhelming experience to get all eight badges and enter the Pokémon League. A lot of trainers failed to endure such hardships.
I don't think it will be too difficult for me though…
Eventually, I reach Elm's Laboratory. I was greeted by two of his assistants.
"Just a moment, Adam! The Professor is busy experimenting." said Assistant #1. Assistant #2 left to fetch the Professor. After a two minute wait, the Professor came.
"Sorry for the wait Adam, I didn't realize it was nine o'clock already!" said Elm as he scratched the back of his head. I rolled my eyes.
He led me toward a showcase table deep inside the laboratory.
"Alright, now pick any one of the three pokeballs."
"Um…there are not any pokeballs there…"
Elm did a double-take while adjusting his thick glasses.
"Oh shi-, I mean crap! I forgot to restock on starter Pokémon!" yelled Elm and he began to look around frantically. Suddenly, Professor Oak appeared. I knew him from Kanto as one of, if not, the top Professors in the Pokémon world.
"It seems my student is still forgetful."
"Aw….what am I going to do Professor Oak? Adam needs a starter Pokémon. He begins his journey today!" I looked back and forth between the Professors.
Looks like I'm screwed…
"Well…I do have a Pokémon with me, but it doesn't fall into traditional fire, water, and grass role. But, since you're older than the average beginning trainer, it should be alright." said Oak as he pulled out a pokeball.
"Let me see…" I said as I took the pokeball from Oak and released the Pokémon inside. I watched in curiousity as a male Eevee popped out.
"Vee!" cried the Eevee happily. I bent down and picked the Eevee up. He instantly snuggled against my chest.
"Before I give you this Eevee, you must tell me your goal." said Professor Oak.
My goal…Hmm…
"My goal…is to become a Pokémon Legend! The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!" I said. There was a little more to it, but the Professors didn't need to know about it…You see, that was my main goal. I still have two other goals I wish to complete.
Oak nodded a couple of times while rubbing his chin. Then, he smiled,
"Well, I'm convinced. Eevee now belongs to you, Adam! The world of Pokémon is a…" I stopped listening and whispered to Professor Elm.
"I'll take my Pokedex now."
"Ah, yes. Right!" said Elm as he hurriedly grabbed one and handed it to me. I left the laboratory, probably leaving Oak to talk to himself, with Eevee happily trotting behind me.
What will I nickname it? Ah...
"I'm going to keep you calling you Eevee for now…okay?"
"Vee!"
--
I went home to show off my new Pokémon to my mom. She was delighted.
"It's so cute!" she said. We said our goodbyes again as I left and headed toward Route 29.
My journey begins no-
"Yo Brainiac!" said an annoying voice. I turned around to be met by one of my friends and old classmates, Darius.
"I told you not to call me that…"
"Hey! You're about to go on a Pokémon Journey, right? I bet my Pokémon is stronger than yours!" said Darius as he smirked.
How did he get a Pokémon?
I don't really remember how Darius and I became friends, but it happened while I was at the Pokémon Academy at the age of ten. He was the class clown who was surprisingly cunning, but incredibly lazy. I was the all-A student, of course. Thus, the nickname "Brainiac" was created…He always talked about going on a Pokémon Journey, but he stayed with his two older sisters and his eldest sister forbad it because of their financial difficulties. Darius has been reduced to being their house's "handy-man" now…doing little jobs like taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, stuff like that...
"Let's find out…" I said as I smirked.
This should be a piece of cake.
"Alright! Apollo! I choose you!" said Darius as a young Tyrogue ran into battle. I pulled out my Pokedex to collect data on it.
Bursting with energy…Keeps on fighting…hmmm
"Sounds like a weird match for you, Darius!"
"Hey! What is that in your hand?"
"What? This Pokedex? You didn't get one from Professor Elm?"
"Nope…"
Did he steal that Pokémon? Nah…
"Eevee! Get ready for battle." I said was my Eevee hopped in front of me and stared at Darius's Tyrogue.
"Eevee! Tackle!" I said. Eevee curled into a ball and launched hisself towards the Tyrogue, catching it square on the chin. Tyrogue fell backwards and fainted.
Critical Hit!
"I win…" I muttered, I was slightly shocked at how quick Tyrogue went down. Slightly…
"Hey! What the hell!?!" yelled Darius and he kneeled down and cradled his Pokémon. I checked my Pokedex and found out it was on level 1.
"Did that Pokémon just hatch?"
"Yeah..."
"That is why it is so weak. You have to strengthen it up." I said as I turned around and began walking towards Route 29. I took about 6 steps before I remembered.
"Oh yeah! Go back to Elm to revive your Pokémon and get a Pokedex. You will need one."
"Ok! We'll be back for the rematch! Apollo will get stronger!" I didn't look back to acknowledge his claim.
"Yeah…Yeah…whatever. C'mon Eevee." I said while waving him off nonchalantly. My Eevee trotted behind me.
It's time I finally begin my Journey!
--
"Eevee! Tackle!" I commanded as Eevee rammed into a wild Pidgey, fainting it after the 2rd attack.
This Eevee is strong…must be because of its Adaptability ability. Adaptability powered up its Normal moves like Tackle.
I noticed Eevee was getting exhausted after his 3rd battle. I recalled him into his pokeball. We would reach Cherrygrove City soon. We could rest at the Pokémon Center.
"Dude! You wanna learn how to catch Pokémon?!?" said some teenager as he ran towards me with his hand reached out.
What the hell?
"No!" I replied. But, this guy didn't seem like he understood my answer.
"But, I gotta teach you how to catch Pokémon!"
For some odd reason, the guy reached out towards me like he was going to force me let him tutor me on the basics of Pokémon catching. My growing annoyance got the better of me…When he got close, I grabbed his wrist and twisted it slightly, causing him to wince in pain.
"Touch me and I'll break your wrist." I said as I let him go and walked past him, entering Cherrygrove City.
--
After finding out all the key spots in Cherrygrove from a town guide reluctlantly, I found a Pokémon Center and waited as Eevee was being healed.
It's the afternoon already. I should probably try to catch another Pokémon before dark.
While Eevee was being healed, I stocked up on some pokeballs, potions, and antidotes just in case. Also, I contacted my mom.
"Hey Mom, I made it to Cherrygrove City." I said over the visual telecommunication device.
"That's good sweetie! You didn't have any trouble did you?"
"No, I plan to head forward to Violet City before it gets dark."
"Well, good luck sweetie."
"Alright, goodbye mom"
"Goodbye, love you"

Conversation short and sweet…
"Your Pokémon is fully healed" said Nurse Joy. I walked over to the counter, Eevee jumping onto me as I got near enough. Eevee looked re-energized.
"Thank you Nurse Joy." I replied curtly before leaving.
--
I walked towards the north side of Cherrygrove City with my Eevee perched on my shoulder, approaching Route 30, while gazing at the map that the guide provided me. Route 30 and 31 was very long. I predict it would probably get dark around the time I arrive on Route 31. But, I was determined to reach Violet City.
bump
I stumbled back a couple of steps, my Eevee hopping off my shoulder and landing gracefully onto the ground.
"Oh my God, are you alright?" said the person who was on the ground. She was a girl who looked around my age. She had pink hair with two pigtails, her eyes were brown and she wore a white shirt with pink outlines and white short-shorts. She looked very cute…but currently, she had a worried look on her face.
"Yeah, I'm al-"I started, but was startled as she hugged my Eevee tightly and planted a kiss on its forehead, completely ignoring me. My Eevee cried out contently and snuggled against the girl.
"I didn't mean to hurt you…" The girl said to my Eevee. She almost looked like she was about to cry…
What the hell?
"Hey! My Eevee is alright!" I said louder than I initially intended.
"Sorry about that, I was daydreaming and wasn't looking where I was going. I was too busy thinking about the beautiful flowers I'm going to put in my room!"
"Flowers?" That is when I noticed the bouquet of pink flowers that was on the ground. Luckily, they weren't damaged. The girl picked up the bouquet while hopping up.
"Yeah! Cherrygrove City is home to the cutest looking flowers!"
"Hmm…well if you're not hurt or anything…I ca-"
"Actually, I might need your help. I sorta got lost and don't know how to get back home!"
"And?" I said as I arched my eyebrow. It wasn't my problem…
"It would super sweet of you if you help me get back. I live in Goldenrod City."
Hell no…that's a waste of time!
"That's a long trip…and I'm busy with my Pokémon quest so…" I made the mistake of looking at the girl as I was getting ready to tell her no. Her face dropped and she bore a terrible frown, her eyes began to water like she was getting ready to cry. I never liked making females cry…call it a weakness I guess.
Crap…
"Okay...but I'm on a journey so when I have to stop, you have to wait." I said sternly. Her face lit up and she jumped up in joy.
"Yay! Now let's get something to eat, I'm starved." She said as she hooked my arm and dragged me back into the city.
"Wait…hey! Wait!" I yelled. My words fell unto death ears.
--
"Thanks for buying, Adam!" said the girl to whom I would figure out was named Whitney.
"Hn. You were stealing all my food!" I replied vehemently. Whitney ended up spending almost all of her money on the pink flowers, leaving her with very little money. So, when I advised that she should save the rest of her money, she decided not to buy food for herself and snatched large bits and pieces of my food (French Fries)! I ended up buying her her own meal…like a sap.
Whitney was carrying my Eevee in her arms, poking it against its stomach. Eevee giggled, emitting a long, drawn out "Awwwwwwww" from the girl. She had the flowers stuffed in her opened pink bookbag. Surprisingly, she had a Pokémon. Unsurprisingly, it was a pink one, a Clefairy, which was skipping gleefully beside Whitney. I had my hands in my pouch, walking behind the trio, slightly hunched over in aggravation.
Why did I agree to this again?
"Your Eevee is so cute!" She practically yelled out.
"Stop babying him!" I replied. I pulled out my map as we walked forward on Route 30. I was already behind schedule so reaching Violet City tonight looked to be impossible. In addition, I still needed to catch a new Pokémon.
"Hey! I challenge you!" said a young kid in a bug catching outfit. I smirked. My first official battle! I didn't count the thrashing I gave Darius…
"I accept! Eevee! Let's go!" My Eevee hopped out of Whitney's arms and stood in front of me.
"Go! Buggie!" said the young kid as he unleashed a Caterpie. I scanned the Pokémon with my Pokedex before the battle ensued.
"Tackle!"
"Tail Whip"
The Caterpie scooted forward, threatening to tackle my Pokémon. Eevee wagged its bushy tail in front of Caterpie and whipped it away while dodging the tackle. Caterpie defense was lowered.
"Now! While it's vunerable! Tackle!" I said as Eevee ran forward and rammed his head into the Caterpie, causing it to slide back. But, the Caterpie wasn't down yet.
"Don't give up, Buggie! Another Tackle!"
"Finish it off! Tackle!"
The Caterpie scooted towards my Eevee again. Eevee curled into a ball and launched himself into the Caterpie as it tried to tackle him. Eevee's power overtook the Caterpie's and the Caterpie was tossed onto its back, fainted. I smirked in approval.
"Great job, Eevee."
--
After encountering two more battles, I decided we should stop for the night near the cross section of Route 30 and 31. It was getting late and my Eevee was exhausted from battling by himself. I petted him gently as I fed him some Pokemon food for the night. While I only had a dark blue sleeping bag, Whitney was sounds asleep in her Clefairy-looking tent that I set up for her. She probably exhausted herself playing with Eevee and her Clefairy all day. Soon, I crawled into my sleeping bag and laid back, looking at the night sky as my Eevee curled up, with his tail covering most of his body, beside me and slept.
My adventure has been weird so far…and I'm behind. I didn't reach Violet City OR catch a Pokémon yet. Tomorrow should be better though.
I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Yeah...better...
