Pokemon: New World
Chapter 2: Roy and Scraggy, the New Team!
Roy ran toward Castelia's Pokemon Center, still carrying the injured Scraggy in his arm while panting heavily. He ran into the Pokemon Center and up to the counter which the center's nurse stood behind. "Excuse me miss, this pokemon is hurt, can you help it?" Roy asked.
"Of course, but you have to put in a pokeball first." The nurse requested.
"But, I can't do that." Roy informed.
"Why not? That Scraggy is yours is it not?" The nurse asked.
"No, I just found it like this and wanted to help it." Roy informed.
"Oh, then that's a problem..." The nurse stated.
"Huh, why?" Roy asked.
"Because the Pokemon Revitalization Machine only works for Pokemon in pokeballs, you'd have to put that Scraggy in a pokeball before I can doing anything..." The nurse explained.
"You mean catch it?" Roy asked.
"Basically..." The nurse answered.
"But I don't have any balls or money to by any!" Roy stated.
"Perhaps I can help..."
"Huh?" Roy mumbled as he turned around. He saw a tall man standing behind him, holding a sketchpad under his arm. The man had long wavy brown hair and green eyes. He wore a green long sleeve shirt, red and green striped pants, a light red scarf, and a pair of green shoes with a light red stripe running across them. "Who are you?" Roy asked.
"I'm Burgh, the Gym Leader of this city. I just came back from Pinwheel Forest doing some sketching when I saw you run into the Pokemon Center carrying that Scraggy, so I came in after you to see what was the matter." Burgh explained. "If you need a pokeball, I'll be happy to give you one." Burgh said as he pulled out an orange sized red and white ball.
Roy took the pokeball from Burgh and looked down at Scraggy. He nodded before pressing the button on the pokeball, causing it to open and absorb Scraggy inside it in a red light. The pokeball began to shake in Roy's hand before stopping with a loud ping. Roy immediate turned around and handed the nurse the pokeball containing his new Scraggy. "Please heal my Scraggy!" Roy requested.
The nurse nodded and took the pokeball from Roy and placed it in the Pokemon Revitalization Machine. She began to press several buttons and the PRM began to flash a light over the took Scraggy out of the machine and handed it back to Roy. "Your pokemon have been restored back to full health," She stated.. "...I hope your return safely." She said with a bow.
"Thanks." Roy thanked. "And thank you to Burgh." Roy thanked as he turned to Burgh.
"It was nothing, I'd do anything to help those in need." Burgh stated. "If you're interested, you should come to my Gym some time see how well your new Scraggy battles." Burgh suggested before leaving the center.
Roy looked down at the pokeball containing Scraggy with a solemn look on his face. "Am I really ready to become a trainer again?" Roy asked himself. "No, I'm not honoring Pikachu's memory by moping over him, I have to move on!" Roy stated.

Roy stood in the middle of one of Castelia's square staring down at Scraggy's pokeball. He nodded before holding out the pokeball and pressing the button, releasing Scraggy from the ball.
"Scra(Huh)?" Scraggy mumbled looking around to check it surroundings.
Roy knelt down to Scraggy, causing the Shedding Pokemon to turned to him cautiously. "Listen Scraggy, I brought to a Pokemon Center to get healed, but in doing so, I had to catch you in a pokeball." Roy informed as he held up the pokeball he caught Scraggy with to show his new pokemon. "But it's your choice, do you want to be my pokemon partner?" He asked.
Scraggy blankly stared at Roy and when it blinked it saw Roy as small girl with short brown hair that wore a red bow in her hair and a red dress.
"Scraggy Scragg(He's Just like her)…" Scraggy mumbled under its breath. Scraggy closed its eyes and took a deep breath. It reared back its head appearing to prepare to a Headbutt on Roy, to the young trainer's surprise. "Hey wait, if you going to decline you can just walk away, no need to get violent!" Roy informed.
Scraggy tapped the button on the pokeball with a weak Headbutt, causing the pokeball to open up and absorb it into its inside.
"So that's a yes? Awesome! I caught a Scraggy!" Roy exclaimed fist pumping while standing back up. He had a big, wide grin on his face that quickly faded when he opened his eyes and saw all the people around the square staring at him oddly. "S-sorry…" Roy apologized with a bow before running off in embarrassment.

"Mom, you'll never guess what just happened!" Roy exclaimed as he burst the door of his new home.
"Oh there you are Roy, I was wondering where you've ran off too, sometimes you worry me even through you already fifteen…" Roy mom stated as she looked up from a box she was in the middle of unpacking.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but Mom, you'll never believe what just happened, I caught a Scraggy and I have decided that I'm going to restart my journey here in the Unova region." Roy announced.
Roy's mom stared at him before a smile crept onto her face and she began to tear up.
"Is something wrong mom?" Roy asked.
"I'm so happy and I'm so relieved, every day since you lost Pikachu, you've been so sad, and watching you look so alone made me sad as well, I was worried that you'd never move on and you'd be sad and lonely forever, but look at you now, you already made a new friend, and I'm sure you meet even more, both human and pokemon on your journey." Roy's mom stated. "I got to go pack you a bag for your journey!" Roy's mom stated as she stood up and walked into another room.
Roy held up Scraggy's ball and looked down at it with a smile. "Well Scraggy, looks like you and I are partners. Tomorrow we start our journey together." Roy stated as he looked upward as the camera splitscreened, showing the silhouettes of a girl and a man.
