POKEMON: The Next Journey

NOTE: The translation of the Pokémon aren't completely accurate. These translations are done by my Pokethought Translator, available in the Celadon Dept. Store :D Kidding. Anyway, these translations are for comedic purposes, and the trainer the Pokémon is talking to does NOT understand what the Pokémon says.

Route 1, Unova

Lilliiiipup! (Hiya!)

Taylor Bay was sweating. It was his very first battle.

"Sigh. Being a Pokémon trainer is sure tough. Boy, and this is just a wild Lillipup! Snivy, use Tackle Attack!"

Snivy, exhausted from being beaten by the little puppy, shook his tiredness off by doing a back flip in the air.

Sniiiiiiiiiivy! (Rightyo!)

Snivy bowed its head and sprinted as fast as its tiny green legs could carry it. Slam! It hit the Lillipup right on its tiny chest. The Lillipup tumbled across the tall grass in the open field. Dazed, the Lillipup tried to get up.

Liiiillipup. (Aghh…)

"Go, Pokéball!" shouted Taylor.

Taylor swung his right arm hard. The Pokéball flew across the blue sky, hitting the head of the Lillipup. Zap. The Pokémon was sucked into the ball.

The Pokéball started blinking. Red, white, red, white. Ting!

The Lillipup was under the property of Taylor.

"Yeaaaaaaaah! Great work Snivy! You're awesome! We caught our first Pokémon!"

Snivy! (Yeah! I guess he'll be a great addition to our team Taylor!) said Snivy as he high-fived his trainer.

Taylor pulled up the Pokéball and smiled.

"I guess I'll call you Puppy. Yeah, that's nice ain't it Snivy?"

Sniivy. (Sure. Though I like my name better. What's for dinner?)

"Okay let's go!"

Suddenly, two shadows overcastted Taylor.

"Mwahahahahaha!"

"Who the whatnow are you?"

"Naïve child! We, are Team Universal!" said two shady characters, both in the same uniform and in chorus.

"What the—? Ummm… Still don't know you guys."

Sniivy! (I don't really care who you are, but I'm still hungry!)

"Hmph! Very well!" said the female of the duo.

The girl, had her hair brushed to the style of a Lopbunny. There was a small, mocking smile across her face, with too much foundation on her cheeks. The man of the duo, had spiky blue hair reaching about a foot long. He had an unshaved mouth, giving him an unclean appearance. Both of them however, wore matching uniforms. It was a jet black jumpsuit, dazzled with stars all around. On the chest area was a spiral, and a huge letter U printed on it.

In chorus, the duo sang, "We, are the true trouble makers, the power of many groups, live within us. Protecting our group, and destroying our enemies, when everything's in chaos, our team is at peace. We will not stop till we destroy, everything against us, so we can rule the universe, as a team!"

"I am Bridget! The ruthless one!"

"And I'm Dag! The smart one!"

"Dag! You're the smart-ish one, not smart one."

"Oh right."

"WE SHALL RULE THE UNIVERSE! ALL OF US!

Complete silence.

Then Taylor spoke up.

"You mean there's more of you mock-versions-of-Team-Galactic-goofballs-without-any-sense-of-rhyming?"

Snivy? (Everything my trainer said?)

Dag pulled his sharp noise and pushed it against Taylor's.

"Are you mocking the greatest Team ever?"

"Uhm, no."

"Oh okay, cause I thought—"

"Dag!" hissed Bridget. "He's mocking us!"

"But he said—"

"And you trust the guy we're gonna steal Pokémon from?"

"And why do you care?"

"OH YOU KNOW WHAT I CARE ABOUT?"

Sniiiivy? (Taylor, I'm really hungry. You got a berry or something? Preferably sweet.)

"Uh guys," said Taylor. "If you're just gonna quarrel about… I think I'll just go. My Snivy looks hungry."

"WHAT? Not without a Pokémon battle!"

"But I just battled," whined Taylor.

"Sucks to be you! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"GO KLANG!" ordered Dag.

"GO PURRLOIN!" screamed Bridget.

"Oh well. Go Puppy and Snivy!"

Klang! (Right! Battle time!)

Purrloin! (Purrrr—no English tranlation…)

Lillipup! (Yay, my first battle! They look tough though.)

Snivy! (After this battle, can we pweeeeeeeeease eat?)

"Woah. Cool Pokémon. Pokédex?"

Taylor's Pokédex filled in Taylor the details.

"Alright Klang, use Vicegrip on Snivy!"

"Purrloin use Pursuit on Lillipup!"

"Alright Puppy and Snivy, use Tackle!"

The Lillipup bolted and slammed straight at Klang, disrupting Klang's attempt to Vicegrip Snivy. Snivy, who ran a bit faster than Lillipup smashed into the cranium of Purrloin.

"Alright Snivy, finish it up! Leaf Tornado!"

Sniiivy! (Yeah! So after this I might be able to eat!)

Snivy spun up a huge storm of leaves, sending Klang, Purrloin, Dag and Bridget flying.

"AHHHH! WE'RE FLYING OFF TO THE FARTHER REACHES OF THE UNIVERSE!"

"That took care of them! Who's my two awesome Pokémon?" said Taylor as he squatted down and patted the heads of Lillipup and Snivy.

"Alright, next stop, Acumulla Town! Well, I guess you guys are hungry. Where'dya want us to go for lunch?""

Lillipup! (Alright!)

Sniiiivy! (Finally you get me!)

To be continued…

Author's Notes: Wow. This was shorter than the last chapter. Though I enjoyed writing this one more. Just a question guys, what do you prefer more, do you want the chapters to be more angled to humor or the adventure itself? So I can make the story a bit more appropiate and enjoyable for ya. Before this chapter ends though, I got some behind the scenes stuff you might wanna read...

DID YOU KNOW...

1. Originally, Taylor didn't have a last name. I was thinking of Transformers and so I just added the director's last name...

2. Taylor was originally a guy I imagined about. He was an original character which I made, when I imagine stories about Pokemon.

3. Originally, Taylor was supposed to be from the Sinnoh region. The story was Prof. Rowan asked him to go to Unova to research about the Pokemon there. He gave Taylor a Chimchar for protection. But I decided to change that. Anyway, in the second part of this story, he'll visit Sinnoh. WAAAH SPOILERS! :D

4. Snivy was heavily based on Trip's Snivy, mixed with May's Munchlax.

5. When I concepted Taylor's mom, I imagined her something like Dawn and Jimmy's mom mixed together.

6. Taylor was built like this: Original character, Ash. I added my awesomeness into him, put on a gray sweatshirt, Jimmy's hat, and Oliver the Pidgey's dream to fly (remember in advance generation?).

7. Puppy is my real Lillipup in my Pokemon game. But now, he's already a Stoutland :D. I just looooove Lillipup/Herdier/and Stoutland, thanks to some girl in Pokecommunity (Forever. I'm not sure if you know her).

Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did (I reread it 3 times just for fun XD)... and the story will continue! Soon. I hope. See ya!
