Chapter 1 : The Kingdon of Fiore
~10 Years Later~
The Land of Fiore, known for being a glourious and glamourous place for people and Pokémon to come and see the vast ammount of tourist attractions that it offered. But of course being 1 of the 5 Pokémon league islands of Japan, it brought something more than just plain tourism. Pokémon trainers from as far as Kanto came to challenge the newly opened league that had blossomed and on this once 'Pokémon Ranger' infested island.
A woman stood on top of a hill gazing down upon a beautiful large town nestled within a large un-noticeable mountainside, she seemed to be in her twenty's and had large oval eyes which in front placed upon her nose where her square-ish glasses. Her long brown hair was confronted by her black and violet highlights that showed in front of her hat which was rounded, almost oval like the same you would see on every trainer nowadays but with a big difference, embraced onto it was a small Sableye print in the same violet colour as well as a small Pokeball design in front of the Sableye's opened jaw. She was also wearing a darkish purple/violet trainer uniform with a violet stripe down the centre of the jacket where the zip was and a normal backpack storing all her needs and cravings...
She stood gazing down at a large town which encircled a larger stone structure, this place was of course 'The Kingdom of Fiore' and the stone structure had and always would be the castle which had been inhabited by Fiore's royal family, well...
Some of it anyway...
The king and queen had passed away a long time ago leaving a small and fragile princess to take the thrown at such an early age. Because of this she was still know as princess until the time of her twenty-first birthday where she could truly be known as queen of Fiore and not just a simple princess through her coronation.
Fiore had always kept to its old traditions, keeping with the ideas and rules of the kingdom which had allowed them to be here today, if it wasn't for the old kingdom they would have lost the first and last great Pokémon war 10 centuries ago that freed the islands of Japan and gave independence to the world.
Every century since the war ended Fiore would host a 'Champions Tournament' which allowed anybody with Pokémon to come and battle for the title of "Champion of Champions" and become if you will, 'The Legendary, Sir Aaron' for a day. This was of course just for a day as there is only one true 'Aura Warrior'...
Isn't There?
Anyway, the tournament itself was to honour 'The Legendary Aura Warrior' for his sacrifice he made alone, and the sacrifices of the ancestors of the people that live today. It is a time of remembering...
And regret...
For their loved ones...
The town was busy preparing itself for this tournament and the festival in general by decorating it's town into olden times from when the castle and the Kingdom was first constructed, it was also a tradition for people and sometimes Pokémon to dress up like those times.
The woman began to find herself walking through time...
Almost...
She was a trainer and had heard about this 'Best of the Best' tournament and thought it would be interesting to take time off from her normal everyday l ranch duties and come to Fiore to check it out.
Over time she had lost the purpose to battle and decided that breeding would be another option to take, she still loved battling and she could not deny that, but...
Just the thrill and excitement of seeing a newborn Pokémon hatch in front of her eyes made her somewhat happy that she did what she did and make that choice.
She brought with her everything that she needed...
Her bag, her hat and of course her trusted Pokémon. Most of them had already been released from their Poke-ball's for a long time and happily walked behind their mistress.
There were 4 in total, one being a jackal-like Pokémon that was around four feet in height. It had black forepaws and had one white spike on each of its arms and on the upper-side of its wrists which had been cut small for some reason. There was also a third spike on its chest, cut like the ones on its wrists and it also had a furry yellow torso, its thighs are also in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. This was her Male Lucario.
The Next was a beautiful and elegant Infernape. Its body is a brownish-red color and a large flame burnt on its head. Its crown of fire is indicative of its fiery nature and never goes out. The tail flame it had as a Monferno had disappeared. She wears gold chest plate and a gold collar entirely unique to herself. Her hands, feet, and inner ears are all blue. She also wore gold shoulder pads, knee pads, and wrist bands.
A Toxicroak shortly followed behind these 2, sipping what appeared to be a soda. Toxicroak where known for having knuckle talons and, instead of cheek pouches from when they where Croagunk's, a large vocal sac. Toxicroak's also have large leg and arm muscles, necessary for jumping and punching.
Finally upon the Woman's shoulder sat a cute and fluffy Raichu known as the Mouse Pokémon, Raichu's are known for being a taller, potbellied form that Pikachu takes when a Thunder Stone is applied, causing its tail to grow long and black with a lightning bolt on the end and fur to turn orange. It also has a white underbelly, brown stripes on its back, and yellow cheeks, Raichu's are also known to be able to generate 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out Pokémon several times its size, such as a Dragonite.
The Lucario seemed to look down picking up what he thought was a bunch of blue roses, running over to the female Infernape shouting in Poke-speech...
"(Veruka, VERUKA! These are for you!)"
He then stopped in front of her seeming to hold the roses up to her face before his smirk was clearly took off by feeling a large stinging sensation in his lower body...
"(Ve-ru-ka)" he cringed "(why... did you... do that..?)"
This in turn made the female Infernape simply sigh resting her elbow with one of her hands and placing the other hand on her face blushing slightly, almost totally embarrassed to even allow a single person or Pokémon to know that she travelled with this bumbling idiotic Lucario...
What the Lucario had failed to notice was that he hadn't grabbed a bunch of blue coloured roses without thinking, but in fact a female Roserade that had used her 'Poison Jab' attack in the stomach of the idiotic love driven Lucario for dragging her across the floor, face first towards the intellectual and beautiful female Infernape...
"(Do You Mind?)" shouted the enraged Roserade, snatching her bouquet from the Lucario who was now lying on the floor, almost paralysed, walking away back to where had been originally standing...
The Infernape took her hand from her face, her blush slowly disappearing looking down upon the Lucario before walking over towards the women's Toxicroak a little bit angry for what the Lucario did to the poor Roserade. But, as always karma found its way in stopping the Lucario from showing his true feelings towards the Infernape named Veruka.
The Women quickly turned around almost spinning the collar bearing Raichu off her shoulder seeing her Lucario lying on the floor, she ran towards him shouting almost in anger and annoyance.
"Vincent! What have you done now?!"
"Rose! What have you done?!" shouted an un-familiar voice.
The female Roserade had been stopped in her tracks by a boy, seeming to be around 18-19 years old and seemed to be a resident of the town, his large oval blue eyes gazed upon the Roserade sighing slightly he placed his hand upon his hat making sure it was on properly, the hat itself was a darkish blue colour with a black feather attached to it, in the middle of his hat emblazed a bright yellow symbol, proving that he was a 'trainer.' Underneath the hat lay his 'helmet' blonde hair which he dared to show to public scared of the consequences it may bring. He wore what appeared to be a normal trainer uniform, somewhat like the Woman's but blue instead of black and dark blue instead of purple. He also wore on top of it what appeared to be a blacky-blue cape like coat...
"You know it's bad to scare tourists... Remember what happened LAST time?!" the boy stated looking down upon the Roserade making it also look down almost in defeat...
"Em... Excuse me?" asked the women who had started to spray a poison heal onto her Lucario fearing the effects of the Roserade's 'Poison Jab' attack, watching the boy pick up the Roserade returning it to its Pokeball...
"Yes?" he replied looking over at her, placing the Roserade's Pokeball into a Pokeball belt that had been hidden underneath his coat...
She seemed to pick up the still paralysed/poisoned Lucario from the floor like a rag-doll, bowing her head as the Raichu bowed the blue dog ragdoll stating "Sorry for what happened!"
The boy just seemed to look at her bowing slightly surprised before beginning to walk over to her, the people and Pokémon that had gathered in the streets stopped and watched as the boy stopped in front of the Lucario, popping what appeared to be a berry in its mouth before spraying where the Roserade had used it's 'Poison Jab' attack on it with his own 'special' poison heal.
"He'll be fine..." he stated trying to ignore what she had just done, placing the now empty bottle back into his coat pocket, "He's not the first one to feel Rose's Poison Jab..."
"Yes, but I guess he acted without thinking..." she sighed "Again..."
The boy just seemed to laugh but the crowd and himself couldn't stop looking at the Lucario. It was known that Sir. Aaron had a Lucario who had become his partner during the war; it is said by many scientists and historians that Sir Aaron and that Lucario shared the first true Bond between Pokémon and Humans. Lucario's were also some of the first Pokémon that learnt to speak and understand human speech...
"Miss... Em?" The boy began to talk as the poison heal took effect as the steadily awakening blue ragdoll recovered.
"Jenna!" the woman replied quickly "Jenna, pleased to meet you..."
"Yes!" he replied back quickly also, placing his hand behind his head...
"Nice to meet you... I'm..."
"ADAM! OI ADAM!" shouted an un-familiar voice to Jenna but a very familiar and unwanted voice to the boy...
"Geez, NOT NOW, LUCAS!!!" the boy shouted turning around swiftly...
Both Jenna and the boy named Adam saw a boy around the same age as Adam, he wore what appeared to be an orange striped shirt and a pair of baggy jeans, he had the same kind of eyes as Adam, large and oval. His hair was long and blonde and seemed to flow with the breeze like the green scarf that was around his neck, he also had a large grin on his face…
Adam seemed to copy Jenna's Infernape placing his elbow into one of his hands and his hand into his face in disbelief, Lucas though just seemed to stare at Jenna's Pokémon, he seemed to be quite interested in all 4 of them yet, Adam just seemed to give him a look from under his hand like he was trying to say 'Don't!'
Yet the energetic boy couldn't help but change the subject to something that the blonde haired boy really didn't want to hear. Lucas through one of his arms forward clenching onto a blue Pokeball shouting...
"ADAM LETS BATTLE TO THE EXTREME!!!"
Making Adam who was still in the same position sigh lowering his hand in embarrassment, turning to Jenna bowing just like she had.
"This will take a few minutes" he stated turning back towards Lucas "Please wait here..."
A crowd has gathered due to the incident with Adam's Roserade and Vincent, but they were about to get more then what they bargained for. As well as Jenna, although she did not notice it.
"Let's get this over with... LUCAS!"
