Sinnoh's newest trainer
Well this is chapter 2 of my story could you please review. I was happy about my last chapter and I really want to continue. I will keep writing even if nobody is reading it. Please though I would really like some input good or bad.
Leaving home:
About an hour after Sorrin went to sleep his mom woke up. She was worried that Sorrin had missed his chance to get his Pokémon. She went to his room full of concern. That concern didn't last though due to the heartwarming scene. She watched for a few minutes before bringing in a pillow to put under her sons head. She went back downstairs to get food prepared for herself and some for the Piplup.
About half an hour after his mom came downstairs Sorrin came down himself. "Mourning mom" he said.
"Good mourning dear" She said back sweetly. "And where is your Piplup at this time"
"Oh, you saw me this mourning." Sorrin said scratching the back of his head. "It's in its poke ball."
"Well you should let it out, Pokémon needs to eat to you know." She said in a reprimanding tone. "I have prepared some food for it."
"Thanks mom" Sorrin said before releasing his Pokémon. The Piplup appeared looked around for a moment before spotting the dish of food. It dashed towards to table. It tried to leap to the chair only for it to fall short. "Do you need some help there?"
"Pi-Piplup-pip-pi-Piplup." It shouted out witch was something along the lines of yes, there's food up there and I'm hungry. Sorrin smiled and lifted him up to the table. Piplup sat down, put the bowl between its legs and started eating.
"So dear what are you going to do next." Sorrin's mom asked. "I know we have already agreed that you will be going on a journey, but where will you go? What will you do?"
"Well," Sorrin started. "There is a small beginner's tournament in Jubilife city. I will participate in that and then ill decide what to do after that."
"You know your sister is a coordinator and I know shed love it if you participated in some contests. I know one is starting in Oreburgh in a week."
"I don't know, should I Piplup?" He asked his Pokémon who was halfway through its meal.
"Pip-Piplup" it responded in a happy tone witch probably meant yes.
"Alright then if Piplup wants to then ill give it a try." Sorrin said with growing admiration for his starter.
"Well that's fantastic, so now that you have decided what you want to do for the near future you can leave." Said a masculine voice from behind Sorrin.
"Kicking your own son out of the house, shame on you dad." Sorrin replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Darn right I am. You've been mooching off of us for a long time now. I packed you a bag with everything you'll need. There's some balls, potions, a map, clothes, food and a TV." He said guiding his son to where he left the bag.
"TV?" Sorrin asked in a quizzical manner.
"Yes a TV. It only gets one channel. The news. It's solar powered you just leave it out during the day." He said definitively.
"All right then I guess ill get going."He said. "But ill have to get Piplup to its poke ball."
"Hold on" Sorrin's dad said. "Check your pokedex to find whether it's a boy or girl."
"I guess that would be smart." He said rubbing the back of his head. They went to his kitchen and Sorrin pointed his pokedex at Piplup. After a moment of reading he said "Piplup is a boy!" he announced triumphantly before recalling him to his poke ball. He was hugged by both his parents before he left his house. Sorrin started to walk down route 202. If he followed this route it would take him all the way to Jubilife city.
After about one hour of walking Sorrin stopped to take a rest. He looked in his bag and pulled out the TV his dad packed for him. It was yellow and the screen was a little short of a foot wide. He pulled the antennae and turned it on. It had a full charge on it so he didn't worry about it dying. He watched for about fifteen minutes before something came on that really interested him. The reporter spoke of a breading farm that was apparently incorrectly built and many Pokémon escaped. The owner of the farm tried to round up as many as possible but saw that they were happy in the wild. They are now declared legal to catch. But the thing that really got Sorrin excited was that the farm was only a few kilometers from where he was now.
Sorrin called out his Pokémon. "Ok Piplup were going to catch a new friend, I bet that if we focus we can do it in no time at all." Piplup gave and approving yelp of his name.
The duo left to look for a Pokémon to capture. But well leave their story for a bit and move to a different ones.
Tessa Clamon just arrived at Oreburgh to prepare for her contest. She just booked a room at a hotel when her phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.
"Hi dear how are you?" Said the caller.
"I'm fine mom how are you?" She said back.
"A little heart broken." Her mother replied honestly.
"Why is that?" Tessa asked full of concern.
"Because your baby brother is just starting his journey." She sad sadly. "But it's no big deal because he is grown up. That and he's coming to you."
"Why is Sorrin coming to me?" Sorrin's sister asked surprised.
"Because he's competing in the Oreburgh contest." She said giddily.
"Well just because it's his first contest doesn't mean ill sacrifice my chance at a fifth ribbon." She said with determination.
"You won't purposely sacrifice it but that Piplup of his looks tough. You'll have a run for your money." Sorrin's mom said pride fully.
The conversation Progressed from Sorrin to recent events. Hearing it all would be like waiting for your mom to get off the phone so she can take you swimming. Now we will return to Sorrin.
Sorrin found a Pokémon after fifteen minutes of searching. It was far away and he couldn't quite make it out but he defiantly knew it was a Pokémon, so he yelled. "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BATTLE!"
The Pokémon looked up and dashed over to him as fast as it could. He quickly scanned it and found out it was treecko. It was green human body with a tail that looked like two tails and a gecko head. It had It took a battle stance and motioned for him to make the first move. "Alright I don't have to be told twice, Piplup use growl."
Piplup growled loudly and fiercely at the Pokémon. Treecko felt the effect but still charged in and swung its tail.
"That's pound. Piplup duck, then use your own pound." Sorrin yelled knowing what should happen. Starting to see a few moves ahead.
Piplup went into some sort of crab walk position and treecko's tail soared overhead. Piplup came back up and harshly struck treecko's back. "Great now use pound again!" he yelled out. Treecko still unrecovered got hit by Piplup's attack. "Pound again" Sorrin called gleefully. This time the treecko responded with his own pound. The two attacks met but dew to the growl at the beginning of the battle Piplup's won and treecko was forced back.
Sorrin called for another pound but treecko leaped back just in time. It clapped its hands together and a small green beam was fired. "Doge it!" Sorrin called just in time to avoid to main attack but was still his with some of it. Treecko looked a little healed after his attack.
Piplup on the other hand just took a grass type attack witch if memory served was called "Absorb". Piplup looked battered and enraged and immediately shot dozens of bubbles out of his mouth and it struck treecko. Treecko wasn't expecting the attack and took it head on. Sorrin check his pokedex and found out that Piplup just used bubble.
"Way to go Piplup!" Sorrin cheered.
At that time treecko started to charge forward for one last pound attack. "Piplup use bubble." Sorrin shouted. The grass type raised its arms to shield itself but it still charged forward. When it was close Sorrin howled "Piplup, pound."
Sorrin smiled and watched as his plan unfolded. Piplup's bubble to slow treecko so Piplup's pound could finish treecko off. Sorrin pulled a ball out of his pocket and hurled it at the almost fainted treecko. It rolled once, Sorrin held his breath. It rolled twice, a pained looked on his face appeared. On the third roll he drooped to his knees. When it clicked shut he exhaled and fell onto the grass. Piplup did the same out of exhaustion. Sorrin stood up looked a Piplup and said "I'm sorry you got hurt buddy but you did great." He then recalled him.
Sorrin then walked to where his new Pokémon's poke ball was lying. He pick it up and released treecko. "Hey there, I'm your new trainer. I want to travel the world and I know that you will help me become strong as I will help you. So are you ok with this?" Sorrin asked.
Treecko looked up went don to won knee and looked at the ground. After a minute of painstaking silence it looked up and smiled. He winced in pain then collapsed. He picked up treecko and held him for a moment. Sorrin then returned treecko to its poke ball. There will be plenty of time to bond later.
Sorrin walked for a minute and climbed a hill on top of that hill he could see Jubilife city. "I'm almost there. I can test out my treecko. Watch out sinnoh I'm your newest trainer!"
I think that this was a powerful chapter. You know that there is going to be some competition between Sorrin and Tessa. Don't worry I'm having Sorrin focuses mainly on gyms with a few contests on the side. But please review!
