"The Journey to Kalos"
Both Red and Lucas were hustling towards an Airport with Professor Oak standing by the front doors waiting as the boys were running as fast as their legs could carry them with the Professor now coming into view.
"Hey, over here, hurry." commanded the Professor waving his arms getting the boys' attention, as both Red and Lucas now made it to the front door, as the two stopped for a moment to catch their breath. "You made it Red, glad to see that you've finally arrived; so you must be Lucas." said Oak looking down at the Blonde boy he's never met before as Lucas looked up while panting after running with Red to the Airport.
"Who are you?" asked Lucas not knowing who Professor Oak is.
"Lucas, this is Professor Oak, the World's greatest Pokemon expert and researcher; he knows just about everything that there is about Pokemon; such as abilities, habitats, weaknesses if you have a question about Pokemon, you should ask him." said Red as Professor Oak extenden his hand out to Lucas and Lucas shook hands with the Professor.
"Cool, I guess Red's already told stuff about me to you, is that right.?" asked Lucas with a sheepish grin.
"Yep, he sure has, anyways we better hurry up and get to our Plane it's about to take off here, soon." said Oak as he made his way inside the Airport with Red and Lucas following. The three took their luggage onto a conveyor belt to be taken onto the Plane by personal as the three made their way to the Reception Desk.
"All right who's next?" asked the Receptionist, as Oak, Red, and Lucas stood in front of the Receptionist.
"We have a flight to Lumoise City in the Kalos Region did we make it?" asked Oak, hoping they weren't late
"Yes, you're flight will be getting ready to take off in just a few minutes; may i please see your tickets?" asked the Receptionist, holding out her hand as Oak handed three Plane Tickets to the Receptionist, as she took the tickets. "All right go have a seat on your plane and be ready for take off."
"All right then thank you, come on boys let's go find a seat on the Plane." said Oak as he, Red, and Lucas made their way into the plane and found a row of empty seats as Lucas took the window, Red took the seat next to Lucas, and Oak took the seat next to Red. As the three were starting to get situated on the Plane, Red looked over to Lucas who was feeling a bit uneasy.
"Hey, what's the matter Luke?" asked Red as he noticed Lucas looking nervous.
"I'...I...I'm a bit scared." said Lucas, shaking nervously
"Of what? Takeoff?"
"Yeah."
"Awwwww, don't worry about it dude, think of it like the time during the Brawl Tournament when we took a ride on Charizard's Back."
"Well I guess I could, even though that was still pretty terrifying."
"Hey don't worry about a thing bro, i'm going to be right here the whole time with you." said Red, putting his hand on top of Lucas's hands, as the Plane's P.A. system came on.
"Attention Passengers; please strap in your seat belts as we prepare for takeoff." said the voice on the P.A. System as the engines inside the Plane Roared to live as the Plane made it's way down the runway and took the air. Inside Lucas swallowed his spit but Red was holding his hand the whole time as the Plane took off high into the sky and then minutes later leveled itself in motion, as Lucas breated a sigh of relief knowing the take off is over and now that the Plane is now in the air.
"There that wasn't so bad; how are you feeling now?" asked Red, patting Lucas on his shoulder.
"Well I was nervous before but I guess it can take some time to get used to." said Lucas with a smile, as a Flight attendant approached their row.
"Here is the Menu we will be serving Dinner shortly, take a look at the Menu and let me know when you're ready to order." said the Attendant as Oak took a look at the Menu as did Red and Lucas.
"I guess i'll have the Lasagna what about you boys?" asked Oak looking away from the menu at the boys.
"Hmmmmmmm? maybe i'll just have a plate of Pasta, what about you Luke?"
Same here, i'll have Pasta as well." said Lucas as the Attendant returned.
"So have you decided what you want to eat.?"
"Yes, i'll have the Lasagna, and the boys here will both have Spaghetti." said Oak, as he handed the Attendant their Menu books.
"All right then; I will be back with your drinks what will it be?"
"Iced Tea." said Oak
"Soda." said Red
"Soda for me too." said Lucas
"All right Two Sodas and an Iced Tea, i'll be right back with your drinks." said the Attendant taking the menus heading towards the back. After the attendent came back with their food and drinks and the three ate their dinner. Then an In flight movie began to play and during the movie; Lucas began to fall asleep as the Blonde Boy's head cushioned itself, perched on Red's shoulder as Red began to stroke Lucas's hair. The Attendant returned with some pillows and blankets, as Red lifted Lucas's head up gently and placed a pillow under his head as he laid Lucas's head on the Pillow; Red then lifted up the legs of Lucas's chair and his own as Red pulled off Lucas's shoes and took off his own as Red pulled a shared blanket for himself and Lucas and pulled it over them both. Red then wrapped his arms around Lucas cuddling him in a very soft and comforting manner.
"Goodnight bro, sweet dreams!" said Red as he kissed Lucas on the head and began to drift a sleep themselves as the boys were in eachothers' arms, flying on a Plane thousands of feet in the air surrounded by people; as the boys began to drift asleep.
Lucas was once again in Tazmily Village living life with his Mother Hinawa, his Father Flint, and his brother Claus. They we're having a picnic on the mountains however a Dragon came along and ran it's claw into Hinawa's Chest.
"No, Mom." said Lucas in both fear, and tears as he looked around not knowing what to do until voices began to spoke to him.
"You let us all down, why do you let everyone you love down, why are you such a crybaby." said the voices as they appear to be Hinawa, Claus, and Ness all talking to Lucas who were yelling at him for letting him down and calling him a crybaby for being the reason they all died.
"No, I'm stronger now, Red said."Then Red is being shown about to be killed by some figure in a Red Suit, as Lucas tried to run over and save Red, Claus grabs Lucas's leg. "No let me go, Claus!" cried Lucas trying to get to Red.
"We were brothers, he is not family; we are, please come back." said Claus
"No, Red, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD!" yelled Lucas as the man put his knife through Red's Chest as, Lucas than opened his eyes seeing he was still on the Plane, cuddled up to Red who began to wake up from his sleep.
"Hey buddy; did you have a bad dream?" asked Red, in a tired tone.
"Yeah, I dreamed about that day when the Dragon killed my Mom, and then she along with Claus, and Ness began calling me a crybaby; I called out to you but some man in red clothes was trying to kill you; I tried to save you but Claus stopped me saying you're not family; than you were killed and I couldn't get to you to save you." cried Lucas as he buried his face in Red's Chest.
"Awwwww; that sounds like a terrible dream; don't ever worry little bro, nothing like that will ever happen to me with you around me; after you saved me from that robot we became very close, I owe a lot of my life to you; and whatever happens we face together as a team. Also don't ever forget we may not be related by blood; but we are brothers by heart and nothing can ever take that away from us." said Red, hugging Lucas, it was still late at night and early in the morning as the Two cuddled each other both back to sleep, as morning finally arrived with everybody on the Plane waking up.
"Good Morning, this is your Captain Speaking, we will be landing at Lumoise Airport in five minutes, please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing; thank you for flying with us." said the Plane's P.A. system as the Plane began to descend on the ground and made it's landing at Lumoise Airport. Everybody made their way off the Plane as Oak led Red and Lucas into the Airport.
"Well here we are Boys Lumoise City; i'm going to go get us a Cab to Professor Sycamore's Laboratory wait here." said Oak as he got on a Phone in the Airport to call for a Cab outside the Airport to take them to Sycamore's Lab. Red and Lucas approached a window and looked at the city outside and saw how big the city is.
"Wow this place looks bigger than New Pork City."
"HAHAHA; maybe but at least this place isn't ruled by any dictators."
"True; hey I wonder what that tower is over there." said Lucas pointing out to a large tower in the center.
"Not sure; maybe we'll find out later when we go for a tour of the city."
"OK boys, the cab is outside, let's go." called out Professor Oak, as Red and Lucas followed the Professor to the Cab as Oak took the front seat and the boys took the backseat; the Driver started to drive the Cab as Red and Lucas was in awe of how big Lumoise City is.
"This City has a lot to offer, Museums, Cafes, Battle Restaurants, a Film Studio, several Stores, a Luxury Hotel, and in the center you see Prism Tower and inside the Tower is a Pokemon Gym."
"Really, maybe we can go there and battle the Leader later." said Lucas in excitement.
"Well the Gym Leader has been out of the Gym as of late and it's hard to tell when he'll be back, but the Tower is open for Tourists, just not Gym Battles." said the Driver as he stopped the Cab in front of a Building with Pokeballs on it.
"Here we are, Professor Sycamore's Laboratory; that'll be $25." said the Driver as Oak took out his Wallet and paid the Driver for the Cab Fare." Ok thank you for driving Lumoise Cab Services, please enjoy what the city has to offer." said the Driver waving goodbye as he drove off; as Oak, Red, and Lucas made their way inside the Laboratory, and approached a Secretary at the front desk.
"Hello do you have an appointment with Professor Sycamore?" asked the Secretary
"Yes, I am Professor Oak from Kanto, and I was asked by Sycamore to do some studies about Mega Evolution."
"Oh hello Professor Oak, nice to see you here in Kalos; go on ahead up the elevator to the top floor where Sycamore is at."
"Ok, let's go boys." said Oak as he, Red, and Lucas made their way inside the elevator as Oak pushed the button to the top floor, activating the elevator as it moved to the top floor. Being on the elevator made Lucas a bit nervous but as always Red was there to assure him not to worry about anything as the elevator stopped and the doors open as Oak led the boys out of the Elevator as they saw a tall man with dark blue hair wearing a lab coat working on his computer. "Hello Professor Sycamore.
"Samuel, it's been a long time, welcome to Kalos; so you here to do some research on Mega Evolution?" asked Sycamore turning around his chair to look at Kanto's Professor.
"Absolutely; Mega Evolution is something I never thought would be possible, I've always known about the standard evolution of Pokemon, but Mega Evolution seems like a groundbreaking new discovery when it comes to any further development of a Pokemon's natural evolution."
"The effects of Mega Evolution are only used in battle and can be made possible whenever a Trainer has a Mega Stone for the right Pokemon that can Mega Evolve and a Mega Ring to activate the Mega Stone to allow the Pokemon to Mega Evolve during battle."
"Wow; that's amazing, I would like to see it for myself in person; which is why I came all the way here to Kalos."
"All right then, Korrina from Shalour City told me she was coming to Lumoise City and me and her were going to have a battle to show you in person Mega Evolution; however the last I heard from her was an hour ago; I hope she didn't get into any trouble." Sycamore had a worried look on his face hoping nothing bad happened to Korrina, than Sycamore noticed Red and Lucas both standing next to Oak. "Who might these two be?"
"This is Red, he's the Pokemon League Champion from Kanto, and this is his friend Lucas that he meant from some Battle Tournament he was in." said Oak no wanting to go to far into detail about Red meeting Lucas cause it would've taken him all day to explain. Anyways Red and Lucas nodded their heads as Sycamore approached the boys.
"So you're the Champion from Kanto; it's good to see that you decided to come to Kalos; are you here to compete for our Gym Badges and Battle our Elite Four?"
"Well sort of; i'm here because my buddy Lucas here wanted to know more about Pokemon and I promised to take him on a Journey, and there's no better place for him to start than here in Kalos." Red placed his hand on Lucas's back causing Lucas to blush a little.
"Oh ok, so you're a rookie huh; well then allow me to welcome you to the World of Pokemon where you will meet all sorts of Pokemon as you travel this Vast region. Over time you will develop an amazing bond with your Pokemon; you will battle along side eachother, train them, and even play with them, so to start your journey pick one of three Pokemon; here in Kalos We have the three starter Pokemon from Kanto and three of our own species found here in Kalos, and since Red is from Kanto he doesn't half to pick, but you can pick one from Kanto to take with you and maybe you'll get to witness Mega Evolution in battle."
"All right then." said Lucas, as he rested his chin on his hand thinking about what Pokemon he should choose. After a bit of thinking Red picked a Pokeball up and opened it and out came Squirtle.
"Squirtle!" greeted the water turtle Pokemon, as Lucas picked it up and embraced it with a smile.
"Excelent choice, Squirtle will be your starter Pokemon on your journey, but don't forget to train it hard so you can level it up and as you do your Squirtle will get stronger and then evolve into a Wartortile and then Blastoise. Then once you find a Mega Evolution Stone for Blastoise than you can witness Blastoise Mega Evolve when you battle with it someday."
"Awesome." Red placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder and began to speak to him
"This is going to be awesome, and don't worry about anything I will help you train your Pokemon and make you into a stronger Trainer, and I will have your back like always whenever we come across any dangers on our Journey."
"Thanks Red, I really appreciate it." said Lucas smiling at Red, as Red smiled Back.
"Oh Red, I know you're probably not really going to Challenge any Kalos Trainers; but would you like to take a Kalos Pokemon and also Lucas go ahead and pick a Kalos starter Pokeball."
"Ok sure i'll do that, but you can go on ahead first, Lucas."
"Thanks Red." said Lucas as he looked at the three balls; after thinking it over for a minute he picked up a ball and opened it and out came the Bipedal Mammalian Grass Type Pokemon Chespin.
"You have selected Chespin, good choice."
"Chespin!" greeted the Chespin as Lucas embraced Chespin.
"Wow this is so cool, I can't wait for us to start our Journey. Hey Red what are you going to pick?"
"Oh, I dunno." Red thought about what of the other two Pokeballs to pick; after putting some thought Red finally picked up a ball and opened it and out came the Fiery Fox Pokemon Fennekin.
"You have selected Fennekin, excellent choice."
"Fennekin!" greeted Fennekin as Red smiled and embraced his first Pokemon from the Kalos region.
"Here's you both a Pokedex for this region; I wish the both of you the best of luck on your Journey. There are many different Pokemon in this region, some evenoriginate from the other regions in our world like Johto, Hoenn, Shinnoh, and Unova along with those who originate here in Kalos. Well I hope you both have a safe Journey; in the meantime I need to go outside and see what happened to Korrina, you both should head to one of the Pokemon Centers here in Lumoise City and register for the Kalos League." said Sycamore getting out of his chair and making his way to the elevator.
"I think i'm going to go check us in at the Lumoise Grand Hotel." aid Oak following Sycamore.
"We're going to be staying at a Luxury Hotel?" asked Red in excitement as Lucas also felt excited about that idea
"AWESOME!" said both Red and Lucas at the same time.
"Come on boys, you better go sign up at one of the Pokemon centers."
"Right, let's go Lucas." said Red as he and Lucas followed the two Professors to the Elevator and made their way outside of the Laboratory. The Boys made their way into the city streets, approaching a Pokemon Center, as they were about to walk inside they hears some one yelling.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU CREEPS!" said the voice as a girl with blonde hair, wearing a Skate helmet, and white and red dress, was being intimidated by a gang of street thugs.
"We don't care what the rules say, we want to battle you for that badge, here and now." said one of the guys who had a Blue Mohawk, black lipstick and eye make up, and wore a bunch of torn up clothes.
"No if you want to battle me, than you half to come to my gym and fight me Individually." cried the girl
"Sounds like trouble we better step in." said Red as he and Lucas went over to confront the street gang, who was harassing the poor girl.
"Rules are for fool, and if you're not going to accept our battle the easy way, than will take you on the hard way; Go Beedrill!" said the guy, calling out a Bee Pokemon. Two other guys who appear to be following the guy with the Mohawk also called out a Growlith and a Rattata. Just as the three guys and their Pokemon was going to attack the girl who was about to call out a Pokemon; both Red and Lucas stepped in.
"You think the three of you are real tough, ganging up on someone like that."
"Who do you think you are, butting into our business?"
"Leave the girl alone; don't make us challenge the three of you stooges."
"Stooges huh? That's it you want to battle fine; go and attack them Beedrill with Poison sting." ordered the Mohawk guy ordering his Beedrill to attack.
"Go Lucario!" said the girl getting out a Pokeball and out came the Fighting, Aura Jackal Pokemon: Lucario. " Now Lucario use Aura Sphere. commanded the girl as her Lucario fired a blue sphere of energy hitting the Beedrill directly knocking it out.
"No not my Beedrill; guys attack it with Rattata and Growlith." ordered the men; but both Red and Lucas were ready to attack back.
"Don't get scared Lucas this is the moment you've been waiting for; i'll use my Squirttle to attack Growlith, you go ahead and use Chespin on Rattata." said Red calling out his Squirttle. "Squirttle use Watergun on that Growlith.
"Squirtle!" cried Squirtlle as the Water Turtle Pokemon let out a gush of water at the Fiery Dog Pokemon defeating it.
"No not Growlith; Use Bite on the little Blonde Boy's Chespin; Rattata."
"Lucas have your Chespin use Tackle."
"Right; Chespin use Tackle." ordered Lucas as the Chespin charged at the Rattata with Tackle, but at the same time Rattata connected with bite. Lucas's Chespin was only starting out in battle against Rattata and Lucas didn't know any moves. Until the Chespin out of nowhere hit the Rattata with it's vines.
"What is that?" thought Lucas
"That's Chespin's Vine Whip."
"Keep using Vine whip Chespin." ordered Lucas
"Rattata use Tail Whip." ordered the Boy as the Rattata attemped to use Tale whip but Chespin's Vine's attacked the Rattata and lassoed itself around the Rattata's tail and tossed it onto the ground, defeating it. "Rattata return! Fine then have it your way, jerks." said the Mohawk boy as he and his cronies both ran off, as Red and Lucas approached the girl.
"Thank you guys for helping me against those jerks."
"Do you know who they were?" asked Red curiously
"Well they followed me from my Gym; they wanted to battle me but I told them at my Gym only but they kept bullying me into a battle, not to mention their Pokemon was pretty weak seeing how you three handled yourselves."
"Thanks; so you're a Gym Leader?"
"Yes I'm Korrina the Leader of the Shalour City Gym."
"You're Korrina; Professor Sycamore was looking for you."
"I know, sorry if I worried him; I was trying to shake those losers off me, and is the reason i'm late, but thanks to you guys I can go and meet up with him. Who are you two guys anyways."
"I'm Red, a Pokemon Trainer from Kanto
"I'm Lucas a Pokemon Trainer in Training."
"We both came with Professor Oak to do some research on Mega Evolution, and I also am here to mentor my friend Lucas as we travel the Kalos region.
"That sounds awesome, maybe we'll get to have a battle at my Gym sometime."
"That would be great." just then, Sycamore and Oak noticed Red and Lucas with Korrina.
"Korrina there you are." said Sycamore approaching the girl.
"Sorry to worry you, Professor, some jerks kept following me, but luckily these two came to my aid."
"You did great you two; anyways did you get yourselves registered yet?"
"Not yet, we'll go do that right now." said Red as he and Lucas both made their way into the Pokemon Center
"Oh hello and welcome Visitors; do you have any Pokemon that need to be treated?" asked a Nurse Joy looking at Red and Lucas
"I'm here to register for the Kalos league." said Lucas
"Ok what is your name?"
"My name is Lucas."
"where are you from
"A Place called Tazmilly Village."
"Never heard of that place but let me have your PokeDex, and i'll register you." said Nurse Joy, as Lucas gave the Pokemon Nurse his PokeDex as the Nurse scanned it." Ok Mr. Lucas you're all set here's your Pokedex back." said Joy giving Lucas back his PokeDex. "Also here's a case for your Gym Badges; their are Eight Pokemon Gyms in the Kalos region; every time you defeat a Gym Leader you Earn a Badge proving your victory; the More Badges you win, the better your Pokemon will become at listening to your commands in battle. When you collect all Eight you will become eligible to compete in the Kalos League and Challenge the Elite Four, and if you challenge the Eliete Four you will be entered into the Kalos Hall of Fame.
"Cool." said Lucas
"What about you; who are you?" said Joy looking at Red
"I'm Red; I'm from Kanto
"Oh, are you here to Register too?"
"Nah; i'm already in the Hall of Fame in Kanto; i'm here to help and support Lucas on our Journey together."
"Well ok then; good luck to the both of you." said Joy
"Will do, come on Lucas let's go do a little training and maybe catch up with Professor Oak and Sycamore." said Red as he lead Lucas out the door of the Center.
"Right, this is the begining of our Pokemon Journey." said Lucas as he and Red both made their way outside ready to take on the Kalos Region.
Lucas is now officially a Pokemon Trainer; what kind of Adventures will he and Red have together in the Kalos Region; and what discoveries will they make in regards to Mega Evolution? Stay tuned as Red and Lucas's Pokemon Journey in the Kalos region, begins.
"To Be Continued!"
