This is the first chapter of the story. The story is rated T for language and mild violence. I will ask reader's to not flame the story. If you don't like it, don't read it. And now for chapter one!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. If I did, Misty never would have been replaced with May and Dawn.
Kierano was lying down on the grass in the Viridian Forest. Pokemon were everywhere. There were kakuna hanging on trees waiting for evolution, wurmple sleeping on the ground and in the trees, and a flock of butterfree was flying overhead. Everything was peaceful. It had been three years since Kierano had defeated Lance and become the Champion. Kierano trained with his pokemon everyday and has maintained the title of Champion. Everyday there was an average of ten trainers coming to him and challenging him to pokemon matches. It was extremely troublesome but the one thing that came out of it was that every so often, a good trainer would come along and prove to be a bit of a challenge.
Kierano laid on the grass, thinking about all of his friends how much they have grown over the years. Ak, Kierano's rival and childhood friend decided that he wanted to become a pokemon researcher, but he still showed a lot of interest in pokemon battling. Kris, another childhood friend of Kierano had become the Champion of the neighboring Johto region. She and her charizard blew everyone by storm when she defeated the previous Johto Champion with only that very pokemon. Brock however, returned to being the Pewter City gym leader. Misty became the Cerulean gym leader in place of her three sisters. There were also new friends that Kierano met. There was Gold from New Bark Town, who challenged Kierano and lost. Ruby, another new friend of Kierano's was the Champion of the Hoenn region and son of gym leader Norman. Kierano met Ruby when he was on an errand for Professor Birch in the Kanto region.
As Kierano thought about all of these things, he felt a pang of loneliness in his chest.
"Aaahhh!" Kierano screamed, startling the pokemon around him.
"It's so fucking annoying! I haven't seen any of my friends in weeks." He quickly calmed down after his outburst.
"Maybe I should go visit Brock." Then, and idea dawned on Kierano.
"I know! I'll go visit Misty. Man, will she be surprised." Kierano grabbed a pokeball on his belt and threw it in the air. In a flash of white light, Kierano's favorite flying pokemon came out.
"Pidgeot!!" the bird screamed.
"Pidgeot, want to make a stop at Cerulean City?" Kierano asked with amusement in his voice.
"Pidgeot!" it screamed in joy.
"That's what I thought," Kierano said before he got on the back of the pokemon. With a few flaps of Pidgeot's they were in the sky. Then, the two sped off towards the direction of Mount Moon.
Misty sat down, leaning against the wall of the gym. In front of her was a huge pool with two floating platforms for trainers to stand on. This was where the gym matches of the Cerulean gym were held.
Misty had been going through back to back gym matches all day. She was downright exhausted. There was no way she could have another match.
"If one more person walks in here asking for a pokemon battle I am going to kill someone," Misty said irritably. To her dismay, she heard footsteps and then an annoyingly loud voice.
"I'm here to challenge the gym leader Misty!"
Now, Misty was pissed.
"You've got to be kidding me," Misty said as she started to stand up. Then she started walking to the hallway that led to the lobby.
"Ok bud," she started screaming as she was walking toward the hallway.
"I have been battling non-stop today, and you know what? I'm sick of it." She was almost at the hallway entrance.
"The gym is officially closed, so get the hell out!" She screamed the last part just as she entered and looked down the hallway. She instantly froze when she say who it was.
"Now, is that how you greet an old friend?" came an all too familiar voice.
"Kierano," Misty whispered.
"Long time no see," he said with a smirk. Misty's shock instantly changed into rage.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Misty said walking up to Kierano.
"I've had forty battles today with no brake! And you come in here asking for a challenge as a joke! I should rip your little head off!"
"Calm down Misty, it was only to get your attention," Kierano said, fearing for his life. Misty finally calmed down and caught her breath.
"Well what are you here for Kierano?" she asked looking into his eyes.
"What? I can't visit a friend?" At this Misty smiled and seemed to be filled with energy.
"Let's go and hang around the city. I'll take the rest of the day off."
Misty and Kierano were wondering aimlessly around Cerulean City. Misty caught a glimpse of an ice cream parlor a few yards away.
"Let's get ice cream!" she exclaimed, grabbing Kierano's arm and running to the ice cream parlor.
"Misty! Let go of me!" Kierano yelled at her while trying to free his arm from the pony tailed girl in front of him. Misty came to a stop in front of the counter of the parlor,
"What may I get you little miss?" the man behind the counter asked.
"I'll take a cone with vanilla ice cream on it please."
"What about you, sir," the man asked Kierano.
"Oh, I'll take a cone with chocolate ice cream."
"Okay, two cones coming up," the man said getting an ice cream scoop.
"Uh, Misty."
"What Kierano," replied turning her head to him.
"You can let go of my arm now." Misty looked at where her hand had been the whole time.
"Aahh," she shrieked withdrawing her hand to her chest swiftly.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Misty asked looking at the ground, blushing.
Kierano smirked at her.
"You looked like you were having fun."
Right as Misty looked up at Kierano, the ice cream man handed them the cones.
"One vanilla for the lady, and a chocolate for the gentleman."
"Thank you," Misty said giving the man money for both cones. The two then walked down the road.
Misty and Kierano had been hanging out for about an hour. Kierano was walking ahead of Misty when he came to a stop and Misty walked into him.
"Hey, what's your deal?" she asked aggravated. Kierano lifted his arm up and pointed a finger to where he was looking.
"Wow," he said quietly.
Misty looked up and saw a billboard with a picture of him on it. Above the picture had the words:
ANNUAL CERULEAN POKEMON BATTLE TOURNAMENT!!!
MAY 14th
CHAMPION KIERANO PARTICIPATING!
"Oh yeah!" Misty said taking Kierano from his trance. "That tournament is in a week. You sent a letter to the Pokemon League saying that you were attending."
"Yeah," he replied. "They asked me to do it, and since I had nothing better to do, I said yes. But am I seriously that popular? To put a billboard with me on it and saying I'm going to this tournament?"
"Are you kidding?" Misty asked. "You're the Champion of Kanto. The whole city's in an uproar because you're coming. Trainers are training more rigorously than ever. A bunch of girls even made a Kierano Fanclub." Misty said, giggling at the last part.
"Wow."
"Yeah, it's pretty strange." an idea suddenly dawned on Misty and she grabbed Kierano's arm. "We have to go to the park!"
I'm sorry for not updating at all. I've just been really into sports and homework and studying and other hobbies. I was hoping to put another battle scene in here, but then I thought that it would be interesting to have a slow, non action packed chapter. But I promise there will be a pokemon battle in the next chapter.
Hope you enjoy the chapter!
And don't forget to review.
