Chapter 2: Fire, Water, and Grass
It took countless hours for our heroes to reach the seemly endless plains of the region of Hoenn, but they made it in one piece, and in a helicopter in the shape of a Hopip(Silver hated the 'copter, and wanted to toss the pilot out the window for singing annoying pop songs, but Crystal calmed her dear friend down enough to survive the rest of the flight.)
The sky was black as velvet and the stars sparkled like precious jewels when the helicopter touched down on a private airstrip in Littleroot Town. The two teens got out and paid the pilot the regular fee for his services. He (the pilot) kept his hand out for a tip, but Silver opened his mouth and said "You wanna a tip: Don't quit yer day job."
"Silver! That wasn't nice!" exclaimed Crystal, giving the shocked pilot a little more money and he took off like a bat out of hell.
"Yea, so?" stated Silver. "God, if I hear one more verse of 'She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain', I'll make that person wish they were never born!"
Crystal looked a little scared "He's never been this angry before. Silver, please don't act like your father."
As the couple walked, a figure ran up towards them. It was an average height male, around his early to mid 40's with brown hair and matching beard, blue eyes, and a thick build. He wore a white coat over a pair of dark shorts and sandals on his feet.
The man spoke in a happy tone "Why, hello you two. Professor Elm told me we were going to get two trainers from the Johto region. Welcome to Littleroot Town!"
"Thank you. I'm Crystal, and this is my boyfriend, Silver." said the girl with a light rose blush dusting her cheeks.
"Crys, thanks for the embarrassment!" hissed Silver, blushing as well.
"Ha ha, that's all right, two trainers in love is okay in my book. Now, my name is Professor Birch, so follow me to my house. It's too late to travel on these roads so you two kids can stay at my house for the night." stated the man, shaking the hands of both trainers and gestured towards his large house and laboratory.
With this said, Crystal and Silver set out with their new friend and walked a few minutes until they arrived at a handsome two storey house fashioned of red brick and shutters of the color creamy white.
The door opened and a girl bounded out and gave Professor Birch a huge hug. The girl looked at least 15 or 16, with waist length blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was short in stature, about 5'1'' tall, wearing a white tanktop and tan cargo pants.
Silver couldn't help but stare at amazement at the girl. Crystal took one look at her boyfriend and gave him a strong pinch on the arm. "Behave yourself, for Chrissakes!" hissed the blue tressed girl. Fortunately, the boy obeyed because if he didn't, a part of his anatomy would be kicked, and hard.
Professor Birch let the three kids into his home and said "This is my daughter, Minako, and she's my Pokemon research assistant. So, what are two kids from Johto doing in Hoenn?"
"Oh yeah, I could say that my old man's the leader of Team Rocket and we're here to find my older bro or sis." bitterly thought Silverhis fist clenched like steel traps. Crystal placed a delicate palm on Silver's shoulder and spoke "The both of us are going to compete in the Hoenn region's various gyms."
"That sounds like so much fun!" exclaimed Minako, her voice like a angel, and sweet and refreshing like the cleanest air on Earth.
"Well, if you kids want to compete, you should have a proper starter Pokemon. I don't have any yet, but I'm getting them tomorrow. How's that?" asked Prof. Birch.
"Sounds great!" voiced Silver, a forced smile on his face. Crystal squeezed his hand tighter as the five people went inside the house for the night.
Time: The Next Morning. 9:30 A.M.
The morning was bright and hot as Crystal, Silver, and new friend Minako left the house and went towards the next door laboratory. The lab was all one level, but was quite large and was painted the same color as the house's shutters.
Silver had to whistle at the sight of this Goliath of a structure. "Boy, even that shithole of an orphanage wasn't as big as this place!"
"My dad should be inside. The starter Pokemon arrived 7 A.M this morning and they should be ready by now." began Minako, who opened the lab's door with gusto, it was pretty dark inside and it looked like no one had been inside for a day or so!
"Where is Professor Birch?" inquired Crystal, absentmindedly-twirling stands of sapphire locks around her index finger.
"I think I know where my dad is. Come on!" shouted Minako, who ran out the lab like greased lighting and out of Littleroot Town!
One of Silver's eyebrows went up in stupefaction at this event. "Damn, that chick can move!"
"That's because Minako loves her father and wants him to be safe." softly whispered Crystal, following the blonde teen.
"I wish I could have a dad like Minako's. Smart and devoted, but no! Fate had to fuck me over and gave me the biggest prick that had ever had walked this planet! But someday, that prick will pay! Oh, he will pay!" screamed a thought from Silver's brain while he ran after the two girls.
Location: Route 101. Just outside Littleroot Town
Just a scant few minutes later, the group of three arrived near a patch of grass where they saw a scary sight. Three strange creatures surrounded Professor Birch like moths surrounded by a bright celestial flame. They were small, covered with brown fur and a bizarre black zigzag pattern on their backs. The creatures were growling in a terrifying way. Poor Prof. Birch was caught in an uprooted tree root and couldn't free himself!
"DADDY!" screamed Minako, starting towards her paternal parent, but a strong arm held her back. "Stop girl, we have another way to stop those ugly bastards." said Silver, who gestured to a ground bound backpack, which three Poke-Balls had rolled out of.
"Good idea dear. Let's do it!" exclaimed Crystal, who threw one of them. Out popped a small bird like Pokemon with orange and yellow feathers. Its beady black eyes were like mirrors and it squealed "Torchic, Tor!"
Silver tossed his Poke-Ball and our came a small green lizard like Pokemon appeared. It had a red underbelly and two thick tails. Its eyes were yellow with black irises and it stated "Treecko."
On cue, Minako tossed the last ball, and what arrived in a flash of white was a blue marine like Pokemon with a color matching fin on its head and gills on its cheeks. It proclaimed "Mudkip, Mud!"
"Mudkip, use Tackle attack on one of those Zigzagoons!" shouted Minako. The little water Pokemon obeyed, and full body tackled the brown furred Pokemon, knocking it down a little.
"C'mon guys, give me a hand!" the girl exclaimed.
Silver and Crystal obeyed, but they didn't know what the names of the Pokemon were. Professor Birch piped up with "Their names are Torchic and Treecko," in a scared shitless tone.
The battle began slowly, but the three teens got into it and soon kayoed the three Zigzagoons. The Professor and his daughter were very grateful and happy that it was all over.
"Good job kids. Since you all saved me, you can keep the Pokemon you chose. Take good care of them," said Prof. Birch as he got up from the ground.
"Dad, can I go with my new friends on their journey around Hoenn. Please?" asked Minako in a sugar sweet tone.
The brown maned father looked at his pride and joy for a few moments. " Could I really let her go and experience what few trainers could describe in so many words. God, Mrs. Birch is gonna kill me!"
"Okay Mina, you can. But promise me you'll behave and take care of yourself and your friends." spoke the reluctant Birch.
"Yay! THANK YOU DADDY!" squealed the girl and jumped in her father's arms and hugged him tight. Crystal made an "Aw…" sound and Silver…well; he looked a little sad.
"We should get going. I stocked all of our backpacks with extra gear and supplies that we'll need. Bye Littleroot Town and bye bye Daddy!" declared a delighted Minako Birch and she and her friends marched out of sight.
A cold wind blew over the Hoenn region's top Pokemon researcher. He truly would miss his little girl, but felt proud of her at the same time.
