Author's Note: Here's the first Chapter of The Elite of the Elite. I'm not sure where this will go, but I have high hopes. I would also like to take a moment to ask anyone and everyone out there to let me know you ideas for the story, preferably characters. If I use your idea, I'll give you credit for them at the end of the chapter. If you have an idea for a character, tell me what they look like, they're personality, their appearance, and anything you can think of. Also, this story will be taking advantage of Pokemon by having them talk in many ways. If you have an idea for a Pokemon character, I'll need name, type(s) (if they have been altered), personality, special attacks and abilities, etc. I will try to use any idea anyone give me and I will give credit to the creator.
Also, (parentheses will be used to say what Pokemon are saying when humans other than Ace are around.
Chapter 1: Ace's Life
Geographic Location: Ilex Forest, Johto
Location Details: West of Azalea Town; South of Goldenrod City
Home to: Many species including Oddish, Faretch'd, Hoothoot, and yet undiscovered species of Pokemon
Ace Omega made his rounds through Ilex forest, checking up on the large Pokemon group he has grown to call his family. All around him were different species of Pokemon: Aron, Starly, Horsea; his family included at least one of every species of non-legendary Pokemon. One of his best friends, Psych, a powerful male Ralts that occupied the Pokeball Ace had repaired, was creating a reflect so a Smeargle, called Vinci (Vinchi), would check each preparation that Ace had seen to be done.
All around Pokemon were preparing for a frequent travel. This family Ace had made would travel all across the Pokemon world, hiding their existence from humans, and secretly stopping Team Galactic's nasty plots as they were seen. Though Galactic did rule the world, they did have secret plans to go after legendary Pokemon. Ace was all to familiar with the battles. This family would fly, swim, walk, or dig from place to place, only staying in one area for a week at a time. No one was tired of it or didn't like the traveling. It kept them alive and well, and it kept the family a secret. Any Pokemon who wanted to join up was free to do so.
And anytime they were preparing to travel to a new place to stay in secrecy, Psych would bring out his reflection board he used the move Reflect to generate and Vinci would write down and check off all the preparations that needed to be done, and had been completed to get ready for the travel. It only took about an hour for everyone get ready, and Ace was walking along making final observations and last minute preparations.
He looked around nodding to each Pokemon when their task was done, he looked up to his friend Gligar, known as Thumper (though mostly everyone called him thump), and some of the other Gligar taking down their nests to hide the fact they were there, "Hey Thump," Ace called up. The Gligar looked down, "Make sure you also get the 'glue' you use to hold those leaves together off by wetting the nest in the lake. Then tell Lukus to get the other Wurmple to scatter any leaf piles they find across the forest. Oh, and tell them to get the Caterpie to string together any fallen trees, the Aggron had a wrestling match last night that got out of hand."
Thump saluted, "Gligli (Yes, Sir)"
Ace laughed at the added 'sir' as Thump and the other Gligar began to fly their nests to the lake. Through the seven years of living with Pokemon, he had actually learned to understand each Pokemon's voice. Anyone could understand, it just took special care and attention to do so. Any regular trainer in the past would have been able to understand.
Ace turned to the Smeargle following him, "Okay Vinci, check off "Clear Gligar's nest", "Fix Fallen Trees", and "Put Sleep Powder on Primape/Mankey"." The Painter Pokemon checked off the three tasks with his tail, "Okay, so what do we have left."
Smeargle looked over the floating screen, the turned it to Ace and pointed. Ace slapped his head, ""Round up the Eevee's", darn it. Where could they be?"
Psych pointed behind Ace. The lone trainer turned around to see Vee, the Eevee, and the Eevee evolutions. Booster, the Flareon, seemed to always be leading the group of eight. Showers, the Vaporeon, Thuders, the Jolteon, Eifi (Eefee), the Espeon, Rakki, the Umbreon, Maple, the Leafeon, and Slushy, the Glaceon, were all members of the group as well. Vee, the groups pet, basically, was usually hanging around with Ace. She was Rakki's (Rocky) little sister. Booster didn't like her 'tagging along' with them, as he put it; but Rakki would kill Booster before he hurt his little sister.
Rakki was one strange character: he would love to get into mischief, but he had a strong sense of justice.
His little sister, Vee, wasn't a tag along, Rakki would invite her to go with the group. Vee was a subject for larger Pokemon to pick on, but Rakki wouldn't let that be. Vee, Eifi, and Rakki usually stayed with Ace, sense Ace was the first human Vee had ever known. She was one Pokemon that could draw the line between right and wrong.
Eifi is Rakki's girlfriend, and just adores Vee. She also has a strong sense of justice. She was also a valuable part in the fight against Galactic sense she was born in one of their testing facilities. Her parents are still their, and she swore to find her parents and kill the people who had run harsh tests on her when she was an Eevee.
The only reason she was an Espeon was because they conducted tests on her to make Eevee's evolve with out friendship or any special conditions. She was rescued when Rakki, Vee, and a large group of Pokemon made an escape attempt from a Galactic Lab. She, Vee, Rakki, and a female Girafarig named Kiri were the only ones that lived through the escape. Kiri was recaptured a few years ago by Team Galactic.
The experiments done on Eifi ended up giving her extra Psychic powers, though she can't control them. Rakki and Vee weren't in the Lab long enough to have any experiments done. They had been captured but escaped quickly.
Maple and Thunders were very, very mischievous Pokemon. Being best friends, these two males would stick up for each other no matter what. Though they knew not to mess with Rakki and both had high respect for Vee.
Showers and Slushy were also best friends. They liked calm, but were good in a fight and loved to have fun. They usually just had girl talk.
Booster was apart from the rest. He was a good guy, that loved to get in trouble. He had a sense of justice, that didn't often include himself. He knew right from wrong, but he was quick tempered and loved to get his own way. He would protect his friends if someone threatened them, but he also didn't stand anyone going against him. Rakki was the only one who he wouldn't attack. Showers, his used-to-be-twin sister, would be the one to cool him off with a Water Gun if Rakki wasn't around to control him. The only reason she evolved was because he was about to burn Petalburg forest down.
Ace looked around, "Wait, where's Rakki?"
Vee walked up to him, "Eev Vee Eve Vevee Eveee eeee Eeeevvee(He's trying to keep a group of Galactic thugs busy.) Veee Ee Eevee Veee (We need to go, now.)
"Okay guys, we're heading to the summit of Stark Mountain. Booster, Slushy, Showers, Thunders, and Maple, all of you go tell everyone to get on their assigned Flying Pokemon. Eifi, Vee, and Vinci, you all head over and get on Schayl (Shail)."
The Pokemon all saluted, "(RIGHT!)"
"Veev. Eeve peev Eee (Where are you going?" Vee asked Ace as him and Psych started towards the direction of Rakki.
Ace turned around, "We're going to get Rakki. If Psych launches a Will-o-wisp into the air, that means everyone takes off."
Vee turned and ran with Eifi and Vinci to get on Schayl, a larger than life Salamence. When they would travel to a new place, everyone would ride or be carried by a Pokemon that could fly. Schayl, being the only Salamence in the large family, would lead with Ace riding on him.
Ace learned many new skills sense he lived in the wild, including how to jump unusual heights and how to jump from branch to branch to travel. With Psych on his shoulder, he jumped to a low branch on one of the forest trees and began jumping in the direction of Rakki. After a few moments that seemed to take forever, Ace stalled on one of the lower branches.
A few sounds of breaking twigs and some shouts came from behind a thicket, then a loud boom sent a few trees down and blew through the bushes.
"Ral Ralts ral (What the hell was that?)"
Their were a few shouts then another boom. Along with the boom, Rakki was blown out of the large thicket and skidded across the dark forest floor. Ace went wide eyed as he jumped down to the grass and landed beside Rakki.
Psych tapped his friend's head, "Are you okay?"
Ace saw Rakki's condition. The Umbreon had many cuts along his body, each with a bit of blood oozing out. One of his ear had a cut that ran along the whole ear, and his four head seemed to have been hit by a tree branch.
"Hey, who are you?!" A menacing called out from behind Ace. When the teenager turned around, he saw three Team Galactic members with large, possibly laser, guns.
"Answer me!" Ace was silent. The grunt cringed, "Fine, then just back away from that Pokemon. We need to do a test on it." He stood still, "If you do not back away now and head back to the city, I we'll have you arrested for interfering with police work."
From the legends, Ace thought of police as people like the many Officer Jenny's that used to live. But now, with Galactic ruling, it seemed so much different to him and the Pokemon in his family that knew of the legends, yet to the citizens of this time Ace lived in, it seemed like regular life. Galactic did build a police force and did keep most laws, like stealing, but they were all above it.
"If you do not back away, I will be forced to fire! Now I'll ask you one more time, back away, that Pokemon is, as of now, Team Galactic's property. It is needed for a test."
Ace tightened his fist. Psych his behind Ace's foot to not be noticed, and the teenager walked up to the Galactic grunt. Though Ace was tall, the grunt was a few inches taller, but he tried to size him up anyway.
"That Umbreon does not belong to anyone. You may rule your world, but you do not rule mine. My friend does not belong to you, and you will leave him along, now," Ace said bravely.
The grunt put his gone against Ace's stomach, "Or what?"
He nudged Psych with his foot, "Or I'll confuse you."
"Huh?" The grunts all had equally strange looks on their faces. Psych lifted one hand at them as he stepped out from behind the lone trainer's leg. The grunts were lifted into the air, the Psych pushed his arms forward and sent them flying into the trees.
Ace took the chance and made a run for it, grabbing Psych and putting him on his shoulder as he scooped up Rakki.
"Hey, get him." The lead grunt called. The two others darted towards Ace and began shooting while their superior attempted to drag himself out of a thorn bush.
Psych held up a Reflect to protect them from the weapon fire. Eventually, all the flying Pokemon with the rest of the family all loaded on came into view.
"Schayl, tell everyone to begin flight!" Ace shouted to the far off Salamence
Schayl nodded and gave out a large roar. All the Pokemon began flying as Schayl stayed on the ground. Ace jumped on his back, and he took flight.
The two lackey grunts stopped in their tracks as they watch the giant groupd of Pokemon. Meanwhile, the lead grunt just arrived.
"What are you two doing? Where'd that guy go?" The grunt looked up at the sky and his jaw dropped at the sight.
Schayl took lead at the front of the large group of Pokemon as they head northeast to the Sinnoh region and Stark Mountain's summit. Ace laid Rakki's motionless body down on the Schayl's back. Being a rather large Salamence, his body had a length of twenty-eight feet and his wing span was at least thirty-five. His body itself was about eight feet wide, so you could sit on him comfortably.
Vinci, Eifi, and Vee (who had all mounted Schayl's back before Ace got there) joined Ace and Psych as they gathered around the lifeless-looking body.
"The rings on his body aren't glowing. Is he dead?" Vinci squeaked.
Eifi lightly whipped the Smeargle with her forked tail, "Of course he's not dead. Right Ace?" Eifi's eyes were starting to well up at the thought of her boyfriend dieing. Vee and the other two Pokemon were also beginning to cry.
"No, he's not dead; but he will be if we don't doing anything fast. Even if he was conscious enough to use Moonlight, there's not enough shadow for it, it's midday after all." Ace replied.
Eifi burst into tears, "Then what do we do? He saved mine, Vee's, and the rest of the Eevee group's life; we can't just do nothing! I love him!"
Ace looked at her confidently, "Don't worry, you've been practicing Morning Sun, right?"
"Y-yes." Eifi stuttered.
"Then just put your tail above him and focus the healing power to his body."
Eifi didn't hesitate to obey. She positioned her long tail above Rakki's body and spread the tips out. She sniffled once more, then focused her power. She began to glow the color of the sun, then so did Rakki's body.
The wounds began to all close, and the bruises visible through Rakki's fur and even the gash on his ear were gone. Eifi moved her tail away, and looked down. Vee moved closer to her brothers head.
"Rakki? Brother?" she squeaked.
The rings on Rakki's body began to glow, and he opened his eyes, "Wha-what happened?"
Vee jumped on her brother's neck, "Bro, you're okay!"
Rakki lifted up into a sitting position, "Of course I'm okay, little sis. But are you? The last thing I remember is sending you and the rest off so I could stall the Galactic members."
"Well, then you did it Rakki. We're already heading to Stark Mountain's summit." Ace commented.
Rakki looked around to observe what was going on then smiled, "Well, then I guess the rest of the Eevee group is safe then."
Psych nodded, "Yup."
"But don't ever do something like that again, okay Rakki." Ace ordered, "Just have one of you launch a Will-o-wisp flair and Psych and I will come help, okay."
Rakki nodded, "Fine, but if you don't get there fast enough, I'll just be dumb again." A laugh was shared among the group.
Eifi sat beside her boyfriend, "And I haven't thanked you for protecting us yet." She then kissed her boyfriend on the cheek.
The Umbreon blinked, "Uh, y-you're w-welcome, heheh…"
Rakki's red face was clearly visible through his fur and the group shared another laugh as they headed towards Stark Mountain in the Sinnoh region.
Author's Note: Not much to say about this chapter other than it took longer than expected to type. Also, this chapter was mainly made to show how Ace's life is now. I checked over this twice, but if there are any errors I missed, please message me or say so in a review and I will fix it immediately.
Reminder: I would also like to take a moment to ask anyone and everyone out there to let me know you ideas for the story, preferably characters. If I use your idea, I'll give you credit for them at the end of the chapter. If you have an idea for a character, tell me what they look like, they're personality, their appearance, and anything you can think of. Also, this story will be taking advantage of Pokemon by having them talk in many ways. If you have an idea for a Pokemon character, I'll need name, type(s) (if they have been altered), personality, special attacks and abilities, etc. I will try to use any idea anyone give me and I will give credit to the creator.
