Disclaimer: Gee…I wish I had Pokemon…Then, this world would be MINE!!!!!

Hi again you guys! Welcome to the 2nd chapter of the first volume. Apparently, now I have

added the character who is the mirror to Pearl. His name is Kuro, and he is based off of my

pal and co-author, Honouxryuu. He is more comical than I am, thus it is natural that this

chapter is funny. So, if you may allow me, starts the 2nd chapter to this volume!

Pokemon Diamond & Pearl: Adventures of Time and Space

Chapter 2: Enter Kuro and Chimchar!

8:00 A.M. Location: Sandgem Town

The Sun had already risen, as Starlys' chirped loudly, announcing the coming of morning. In

one of the houses, a young, 13 year old boy was still in bed, snoring as loud as a lawnmower.

Just then, his alarm clock, conveniently an Exploud alarm clock, started screaming at full noise!

"YOU'RE LATE, SLACKER! HURRY UP AND WAKE UP!!! The boy fell out of bed, anime

style.

"Ouch, morning already? Wait a sec, it's 8:00! I promised him I would meet him at 7!!!"

The boy now quickly began dressing up and hastily ran out of the room. His name was Kuro, and

unlike our other calm and well-timed hero, Dia, Kuro was lazy and hasty. He had bright yellow

hair, a striped orange and white T-shirt, and a scarf as long as Dia's. But, Kuro made up his

clumsiness and laziness with his bursts of energy, as you will see later in this chapter.

* * * * *

As Kuro went down the stairs, he shouted," I'M LEAVING MA!!!" Then, he ran outside

towards Professor Rowan's laboratory. As he arrived, he noticed a very angry Rowan expecting him.

"SORRY OLD GEEZE…I MEAN PROFESSOR! SORRY I'M LATE, BUT I ACCIDENTALLY OVER…"

"SILENCE, I WILL HAVE NO MORE CONVERSATION!!!" the Professor shouted. Kuro winced at his loud voice.

"Do you know why you are here, Kuro?" the professor asked.

Kuro said silently," I'm here to start my Pokemon journey…"

"And you are late, when I told you yesterday to come at 7. Now, the other 2 assistants have

already started the investigation."

"Wait, did you say 2??!!"

"Yes. A new assistant came by last night, and he started by going to Lake Verity."

"So…, I guess I screwed up, huh?"

"Sigh, Kuro, what am I going to do with you? A Pokemon trainer must be responsible."

"Yes sir, it won't happen again…"

At this, Rowan smiled. "Very well then, I saved the last starter for you."

The professor took out another Pokeball and threw it in the air. A flash of light filled the lab,

and a second later, a red monkey with a flame on its behind was there, sleeping on the floor.

"Kuro, meet your starter Pokemon, Chimchar."

"WOW, that's amazing!! So what can he do??"

At that second, the Chimchar woke up, infuriated, leapt up to Kuro's face, scratched him, and

farted in his face, leaving a singed Kuro on the floor.

"About that Kuro, Chimchar is female…", Rowan said as he sweatdropped.

"I see…" , Kuro said with a puff of smoke.

"She is rash, so I don't think you should insult her. But she is as good as the others say. Now, I

want you to give this to the other assistant."

Rowan handed Kuro at what seemed to look like a red calculator.

"What is this, Professor?"

"This is a Pokedex, and it stores info about Pokemon that you will encounter on your journey. I

have one more for you."

Rowan handed 2 Pokedex' to Kuro.

"Now, go to Lake Verity, and don't get into trouble, you hear me?"

But by the time Rowan finished the sentence, Kuro already left towards Lake Verity, his

hastiness being mentioned…

* * *

As Kuro was in Route 201, he called on Chimchar.

"Sorry about earlier, I had no clue. I hope we can be friends."

However, Chimchar was sleeping when he called it out… "HEY, WAKE UP!!!" Kuro shouted.

At that, Chimchar scratched his face and farted in his face AGAIN, leaving his face singed, AGAIN.

"Man this sucks", Kuro muttered, seeing how his Chimchar was as lazy as he was, as well as

unfriendly. But then, he noticed that Chimchar's fart caused some angry Starlys' to circle

around the duo. The leader of the Starly was no different, but just in one minor detail. There

was a scar on one of its eyes. It proudly strutted up against Chimchar, a declaration of battle.

"Finally, some action!" Kuro shouted happily, as he miraculously went back up on his feet.

"Chimchar are you ready??"

But Chimchar was on the floor, half asleep. The Starly, ticked off as it was, charged at

Chimchar at full speed!

"Chimchar, watch out!!"

But Chimchar easily dodged the Tackle and went on its feet, ready for battle. The dodge caused

the Starly to crash into Kuro.

"OWWW!!!" Kuro shouted as the Starly started pecking him. Then, Chimchar rushed at Starly

and used its Scratch attack! "Chim!" she shouted.

The Scratch attack scored a direct hit, and Starly flew off in a different angle.

"That was amazing Chimchar! Thanks!! Now, let's use a Growl!!"

Chimchar growled at the Starly, weakening its Attack power. The Starly, shaken, made another

headlong Tackle. "Chimchar, dodge and use Scratch!!"

Chimchar obeyed, and successfully dodged and Scratched Starly. Now, Starly's anger was

released. It flew much faster, and headed straight for Chimchar!!

"Chimchar, watch out!!!" Kuro shouted. Then, something amazing happened! Kuro went in the

battle and pushed Chimchar away, taking the full hit from Starly's deadly Tackle.

Chimchar, seeing how much her trainer cared, finally felt it anger. "CHIMCHAR!!!" she

shouted, and shot out burning flames from her mouth! Starly got a direct hit and fainted. Kuro,

though damaged and hurt, saw his chance. He grabbed a Pokeball from his waist and threw it at

the fainted Starly. "GOTCHA!!!"

The Pokeball engulfed the Starly, and bounced. It started shaking violently, seeing as how

Starly did not want to be caught. However, the shaking stopped and the deed was done. Kuro

picked up the Pokeball and shouted, "I caught Starly!!!!"

Chimchar came up to her injured trainer, obviously feeling guilty. But Kuro just smiled and

said," Are you OK? I'm fine, really. You know, you really are amazing Chimchar."

At that, Chimchar smiled. Kuro smiled back and said," Well, we have a mission to do. Let's

head to Lake Verity. But I wonder who this new assistant is…"

So, as our hero, and his Chimchar on his shoulder, started for Lake Verity, many thoughts

wandered into Kuro's mind. Just who is our new assistant? What is the meaning to this

revelation? And what impact shall it have for our hero and his newfound Pokemon?

Ultima- I think I wrote pretty well this chapter.

Honouxryuu- Hey, why did you make me wake up late, huh?! I wake up earlier than you

do! What's the big idea??

Ultima-Sigh, why are you so picky? Just accept the story as it is!!

Kuro-Fine, just take out the oversleeping part!

Ultima-Never!!!(Takes out Piplup) Honou- Oh yeah!!!(Takes out Chimchar)

So, instead of reading about the 2 "friends" fighting, please review on my story! And be

sure not to miss my next chapter, Rivals to the End: Dia vs. Kuro (An Unending Prelude)!
