It was the springtime and the clouds in the sky, were colored in a fluffy eggshell white. Down below, the cruise ship rested besides the dock. The bright sun was getting ready to set, as the wind was blowing a light breeze. In the skies were four tiny Wingull, who were minding their own business while flying up in the orange sunset skies; flapping their tiny white wings on their way to their next destination. Down below, the dock was filled with tons of people, getting ready to aboard upon the ship, which had some passengers entering it. Some of the passengers on the ship were waving their hands to their loved ones; saying goodbye to them as they voyaged onto their journey to their next destination, as the ship was swayed back and forth along the crystal blue clean ocean it was lying on top of. Schools of fourteen Magikarp leaped out of the ocean; so, the red fish could get some air to breathe. The fish then gracefully fell back into the ocean.
The warm spring April wind - was blowing gracefully outside Nuvema Town; causing the plants outside to sway to the right. A flock of three Pidgeotto flew above the small town - onto they're next destination; minding their own business. The white clouds moved along - as the wind carried them through the dark blue skies.
Two fifteen-year-old teenagers who were recent college graduates where standing below an Juniper tree, next to a brown dock; the Juniper-tree casted off a black shadow as the two fifteen years' old stood below it. They both had Pokeballs in their hands and one of them was a boy and the other was a girl; today was the day that both were going to begin there Pokémon journey.
The boy fifteen-year-old looked down at the Pokeball that was in his right hand and examined the red and white capsule that was ordinarily used to catch the mysterious creatures known as Pokémon. The capsule was a ball shape; and the top half was dressed in a shiny red – while the bottom was colored in an eggshell white coding. Placed at the center of the ball; was a black line, and in between both ends of the black line; was a small tiny circle, which purpose was that it needed to be pressed so the Pokeball could minimize from big to small and be used to immense the ball from small to large.
The fifteen-year-old brown skinned individual; was a recent graduate from the Johto University in Goldenrod City. The 5'6" feel tall boy graduated at the top of class. When he graduated, he was awarded with a bachelor's degree in Pokémon Psychology and was studying to become a Pokémon Psychologist. Ever since he was little he was captivated by the psychology of Pokémon; and worked very hard in school to make sure he could achieve that goal. But that goal was put on hold because of one tiny little problem...
...At the age of fifteen; his ex-girlfriend had given birth to his daughter.
Ever since his daughter was born; his life had been preoccupied with taking care of her and because of that, he didn't have that much time to work on his school work - as he was excessively busy with taking care of his daughter. As time passed on, his ex-girlfriend realized that his dreams were being suppressed because he had to take care of their baby, she talked to him about how, she could take care of their baby, while he goes to school, so he could achieve his dream of becoming a Pokémon Psychologist. At first, he didn't want to do it; because he wanted to be there for his daughter; but his whole family encouraged him to live his dream, and years later; he did achieve his dream, as he graduated from the Unova University and now has a bachelor's degree.
"Growlithe; I know that we just meet today, but I believe you in you." The boy thought to himself as he stared at the capsule which contained his starter Pokémon. He had high hopes in Growlithe, because there was something he really need to do; he needed to win the Pokémon league; because his daughter had a brain tumor and unless they get the tumor out, she only has three months to live. There were merely three months left before the league was going to begin and he really needed to win. Because, not only do the people who win the league receive a trophy, and get accesses to battle the Elite Four, but they also receive 4,000,000$ dollars and that's the precise amount of money he needs to pay for the surgery. Winning the Pokémon league was the only means he could make that type of money without getting a job. He could've done a lot of things with the degree in psychology he was given, but he didn't want to because he knew that; that would take forever. "I need to win the Pokémon league. It's really important to me."
"Quit thinking and let's battle!" His baby momma, Day Minnie scowled at him. When she heard about Davey's decision to win all eight badges and compete in the Pokémon league, so he could win and then receive the money; she wanted to do it. Not simply did she want to do it, so she could win the money, but, she also wanted to do it, so she can get out of the house and finally achieve her dream – to become the next Champion of the Unova Region.
All her life she had wanted to compete in the Unova League, but her parents kept pressuring her to finish school. But another matter that was in her way was that she had also gotten pregnant with her and Davey's daughter. After a change of heart from her biological parents; when they realized that their daughter really didn't have a childhood growing up, they decided to take care of their daughter's daughter; so, Day could live her life and be free.
Davey raised his bushy black right eyebrow up by using the muscles in his body and looked at her. "You want to have a Pokémon battle, right now...?"
"Yes." The girl replied as she pulled her hand out, in her hand was a Pokeball and the Pokémon inside Day's Pokeball was a Mareep.
"But we just go these Pokémon..."
"So?" She responded as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Why would any stable person in their right mind; battle, when they just receive their starter Pokémon and/or when they just catch them?" The curious boy wondered; as he stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face. "It's just stupid..."
"How is it stupid? If anything, it's a smart idea."
"Good; because - It's just stupid. These Pokémon aren't mentally or physically ready yet to compete in a Pokémon battle; they're simply weak and don't really have enough attacks that are capable of doing any damage." The boy ranted.
Day just rolled her eyes, one of the reasons she broke up with Davey was the he had this constant need to be politically correct. Most of the times when they were in a relationship she wished that she would've just told him to just shut up; because she thought Davey was a very annoying person and she found his rants to be boring.
He raised his left arm out and pulled out his index finger, closing his other fingers; "and why would anyone battle with a Pokémon they've just caught when they haven't had enough time to learn about that Pokémon's battle style? " He put his index finger down and put his arms on the side of him.
"Well tons of people who battle immediately after they get their starter; I've heard there have been people who had just received their Pokémon and they battle in a house, or they have to battle a Pokémon because that Pokémon is chasing someone, or they battle inside a lab, or at a lake, or near a gate at the exit at the city. But I've only heard of one times of where they didn't do it; but they had to end up doing a very long mission." She gossiped to him.
"Well, all those people are stupid except for the one who ended up going on a long mission; I bet that they got to battle a lot of wild Pokémon before they finished their mission and establish a battling style with their partner." The boy continued and on.
Day rolled her blast of bronze colored eyes. She was simply tired of hearing this boy speak and was ready to battle. "Okay, okay. I get it. Now can we battle?" She hastily asked, interrupting the boy was during talking.
The brown skinned boy raised his shoulders off, just shrugging off everything that just happened. Even though he thought it was stupid; he decided to just battle anyway, so he could come up with a new battle strategy with his brand-new Pokémon, Growlithe. "Okay, let's battle." He answered.
"Mareep, I need you to win this for me." She said in her very high-pitched voice. The girl swung her arm to the east of her and the capsule detached itself from her white colored palms. The capsule flung itself up into the air and stood there as if it was frozen in time. The pokeball opened itself up and a blueish-white light was released from the ball and landed in front of Day, as it touched the lime green nicely cut grass - The blueish-white light dissolved and Mareep revealed itself. The pokeball flew back-down, she looked up and the girl caught it in her hands. She pressed the center button of the ball and it return to the small size and she put the small ball inside of her right pocket of the blue jean pants she was wearing.
The female sheep Pokémon placed its two small paws on the ground and glares at Davey. Mareep had a determined look on her face. The Pokémon opened its mouth and growled; sending off a warning sign that it was dangerous and determined to win.
Day looked down at her Mareep. She knew that Mareep had the same feelings as her. They both had a goal in this battle, and that was to win. Day raised up her right arm and balled up her fist. "Hurry Dumpster, I'm pumped up and I'm ready to win this battle." The Japanese girl protested.
The boy looked up at the girl and bit the side of his bottom pink lip. He had no worries at about this battle because he knew that he was going to win this, because he had the type advantage. He had no worries for the rest of this battle; and knew that by a couple of attacks he would win this. "Growlithe, I need you." He called out as he moved his moved his right hand north. The pokeball removed itself from the boy's palms and opened – a blue light appeared, and the blue light disappeared and Growlithe appeared.
"Growlithe!" Growlithe growled as it stood there with anticipation. The flames on its tail enlarged. The tiny fire type Pokémon was pumped for this battle.
The two adults both glared at each other with anticipation. They ball up their fist as they continue to stare at each other.
Davey turns his head and looks at Growlithe and smiles. "Growlithe, this is the first step towards me winning the Pokémon league; so, I can win some money for my daughter!" He cheered as he raised his right arm into the air.
"Growlithe! Growlithe!" Growlithe cheered.
"Mareep, use Thundershock." Day called out.
"Reep." Mareep cheered, as he spreads both of its' foots out and smiles. Mareep's body becomes surrounded in a yellow electricity, the sheep Pokémon begins storing up electric energy.
Let's Get It Started in Unova!
Chapter Postdate: July 27, 2017
Beta Read by Eon the Zoroark
"Growlithe, deflect the attack."
Growlithe stands still, not moving at all. A charge of Mareep's shock flies over towards Growlithe, and the genderless Pokémon body becomes surround in yellow electricity, however – the attack did no damage to Growlithe. Growlithe absorbs the electricity so it can get energy for itself. The yellow electricity disappears from both Growlithe and Mareep.
"Now Growlithe, use Bite." The boy ordered.
Growlithe's teeth glow white, as the dog Pokémon runs and leaps into the air, as it flies towards Mareep fast.
"Mareep, use Attract."
Mareep leaps into the air and winks its right eyes, and hearts coming out of its eye. The hearts fly over towards the dog Pokémon and the dog Pokémon becomes surrounded by the hearts.
Growlithe looks at the hearts and lunches them and lands back on the ground.
"Oh no!" The girl cried, knowing that she was in danger.
"Growlithe; finish it off." The dark-skinned trainer called out.
Growlithe punches Mareep in the face, causing Mareep too fly over towards a tree nearby and the sheep Pokémon is slammed into the tree. It hurt the sheep Pokémon bad and it falls onto the ground, with its eyes becoming swirly marks.
"Bahh." Mareep cried out in pain.
Davey smiles. "We did it! We did it!"
"Growlithe, Growlithe!"
"We won our first Pokémon battle!" The boy said in excitement.
The girls grab Mareep's' pokeball and aims it towards Mareep. "Mareep, you did a good job – now return." Day said in disappointment. A red light emerges from the center of the ball and goes over towards Mareep and grabs Mareep, sending it back inside of its pokeball. The girl presses the center of the ball, causing it to return to its small size and she puts it in her back pocket.
Day walks up towards her baby daddy. She was angry that she loss, but deep down she knew that she should've came up with a better strategy to beat Growlithe who was super-fast and strong. "Great battle." The girl hesitated to say that, but she knew she had to say that. She let out her right hand, so Davey could shake it.
Davey looked down and grabbed her hand and the two shook hands. "That was a great battle."
The girls smile turned into a smirk. She thought about their next battle, and she was already thinking about strategy to counter Growlithe. "The next time me and you battle, I will beat you."
"You wish." He replied as he left go of her hand.
"So, where are you going to go next?" She asked.
"First, I need to go Professor Juniper's lab, because Professor Elm told me that it would be a great idea." He explained.
"Well did you know that there is a gym in Striation City?"
"No; I had no idea."
Day fell onto the ground in shock. She quickly gets back up. "If you're going to be traveling in this region, you've never been before, you need to do research."
"But researching takes out all of the fun from just exploring and surprising yourself." He replied.
Day rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you need to get with the times. Technology is everything…anyhow, I need to go."
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"The Striation City gym of course, to win my first gym battle. The gym leader there specializes in rock types."
"Rock types ehh..." He said as he began thinking about what she was saying.
"Bye." She said as she turned around and began walking.
"Bye, and the next time we battle – I'll make sure that I beat you." He yelled.
"Mander." Growlithe said.
Davey turns his head towards Growlithe and smiles. He was so excited to finally be in the Unova Region after years of dreaming of coming here. He could barely hold in his excitement as he was just too excited.
"I can't believe we're finally in the Unova Region, Growlithe."
"Growlithe!" His pokemon agreed.
"This is my dream came true, I can't wait to get all eight gym badges and finally achieve my dream." He said in amazement as he turned around and looked at Nuvema Town, and smiled heavily. Nuvema Town was a small town which didn't have a lot of people living there. The town was mostly just hills and houses, and everyone who lived there knew one another. The reason the town is so famous is because famous Professor Cedric Juniper lives there. Professor Juniper is the person who gives out starter Pokémon to new trainers who are beginning their Pokémon journey. Pokémon trainers can choose between three Pokémon: Growlithe, the Fire type, Bulbasaur, the Grass type, and Squirtle, the water type. Along with choosing a starter Pokémon - trainers are given a pokedex (which has information about all the Pokémon that are found in the Unova region), six pokeballs (items which are tools that allows someone to catch a Pokémon, and keep them in storage) and a badge case (a case that holds eight badges which you receive from gym leaders.).
"Now let's go to Professor Juniper's Lab, to see how he's doing."
"Da-ma!" The levitating Pokémon cheered.
After about thirty minutes of looking around, the Growlithe and its trainer ran up towards Professor Juniper's laboratory. The laboratory was small, but tall at the same time. The lab restfully stood in between two large Juniper trees, which was ironic to Davey since the Professor's name was Juniper. The wind blew, ferociously, causing the green leaves of the brown barked trees too fall off and onto the ground.
Davey looked nervous and was nervous on the inside, so he held onto the straps of his backpack. The nervousness also caused the boy to shake.
Growlithe could sense his trainers nervous and could understand why he was nervous. "Growlithe, Growlithe, cha-cha-ma." It said trying to calm down its trainer.
"You're right Growlithe. I shouldn't be so nervous. I need to be cool, calm and collective."
"Growlithe!" Growlithe agreed.
Davey and Growlithe began walking and Davey grabs the door handle, he twists the knob causing the door to open and he was now inside of the famous Professor Juniper laboratory.
The living room was empty, with no people inside. The only thing in the living room was a couch, chair and flat screen television. The boy continued walking inside of the room, which had its light on; and he could hear two people talking. He walked over towards where the talking was, and he could tell it was coming from another room. He went in the hallway, down the hall and was now inside Professor Juniper's laboratory which filled with all sorts of science stuff, and Growlithe followed him the whole entire way.
Professor Juniper was talking with Noiz, who was a new trainer, who had just recently started his journey. Noiz was a teenage boy with shaggy black hair. While, Professor Juniper was taller than the fifteen-year-old, and had ran brown hair.
Davey smiled. "Uh…Professor Juniper."
Professor Juniper looked over towards Davey and Growlithe, and Noise turns around and looks over towards them too.
"Come here, boy." The Professor with the gray hair that spiked up on the sides called.
"Okay…" The fifteen-year-old boy replied. The boy walked over towards him and his Pokémon followed along.
"Are you Davey?" Professor Juniper asked.
"Yes. Yes I am." He replied. The boy blushed with embarrassed.
Professor Juniper puts his hand on top of Growlithe and looked at it. "I can tell that you raised this Growlithe well, just by looking at it."
"Growlithe!" Growlithe said.
"Yes, of course Professor. Growlithe's not just my Pokémon – he's my best friend. I got him as my starter Pokémon for my tenth birthday from my dad." Davey revealed, as he continued to blush in embarrassed. He was still amazed that the Professor knew about him. "I'm shocked that a famous Professor like you, know who I am."
"Professor Elm told me all about you." The Professor announced as he removed his hand off Growlithe's hand.
"Really he did?"
"Yep. And I was waiting for you to come here, because I have a mission for you." The old man revealed.
"Really? A mission?" He asked.
"Yes."
Noiz glares at Davey. "But I thought you had a mission for me."
"I do." The professor replied. "I want the two of you to work together and get a package for me."
"Huh…" Both boys said.
"Yep. The package is in Accumula City at the Pokémon center, but it's up to the two of you if you want to go do it for me."
"I'll do it for you Professor." Noiz said.
"Me two." Davey replied.
"Great, and guess what. I have a reward for the both of you, when you return the package. But I'm going to keep it a secret until the two of you get back."
"Okay." Noiz and Davey both said with a sharp confident look in their eyes.
Noiz and Davey were walking down the straight tan brown; dirt road on Route 1. The sky had been covered up by light gray rain clouds, which hovered above the small little route; which was covering up the sun. The wind blew violently, as flocks of Pidgey flew in the sky. There were about seven of them in the flock, which was relatively small, and they're viciously flapping their tiny brown wings.
Noiz was walking in front of Davey, who was walking very slowly. Next to Davey was his starter Pokémon, Growlithe, who was walking besides him, like always. The three of them had been very quiet since leaving the lab.
"Why hasn't he not said anything?" Davey whispered to his Pokémon.
"Da." The fire type Pokémon replied, not knowing the answer.
"Because, I don't want to talk to you." Noiz replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Why? What did I do?"
"Nothing."
"So then why don't you want to talk to me?"
"Because you're annoying."
"But I've never said anything to you, and you don't even know me."
"I know, but I can sense if people are annoying."
Not believing a word he was saying, the fifteen-year-old with the Growlithe standing by him – rolled his eyes.
"You can't tell that someone is annoying without getting to know them." Davey protested.
"I can, because I'm special." The boy with the shaggy black hair on his head laughed.
"Special in the head." The Dark-skinned boy mumbled to himself.
"Growl, growl, growl." The fire type laughed.
"I heard that." The boy with shaggy black said as he balled up his fist.
"Hehe. You don't know anything do you?" Davey shrugged.
"Growl, growl." Growlithe shrugged.
To be continued…
