Chapter 2: Welcome to Kiyeto
Soon enough, me and my Pokémon were all on the plane for the Kiyeto region. All of my Pokémon were in their Pokeballs so they wouldn't cause trouble while we were on our flight, because, believe me, Pokémon are REALLY unpredictable. And you'll see why when we get there.
While we were on our flight, I was spending most of my time looking at those strange pictures I drew. I still didn't know how I got the idea to draw them. I didn't even know what the drawings were. The only thing I knew about the drawings was that I somehow drew them, and that they were supposed to represent SOMETHING but…I didn't know what.
While I was staring at the two pictures, I heard a voice that said "Ms. Lopez." It was one of the flight lieutenants trying to get my attention. Once I looked up to see the female lieutenant, she said to me "Please, put your seat back forward. We will be landing in Kiyeto soon."
So, I did what the lieutenant instructed, and put the two drawings away. Soon after, I looked out the window to see the most vibrant city I've ever seen! There were lights EVERYWHERE and it reminded me a lot of Nimbasa City back in Unova.
I have to admit, I kinda missed my friends, Bianca and Cheren, back at home, but this was a chance to explore an ENTIRELY new region that I've never heard of before. But, I was still pretty nervous, because…it's a region that I've never heard of before.
I didn't know if Kiyeto was either a fun place to live in, or a region that is entirely infested with Armageddon. Either way, my Pokémon need to get ready to explore every last bit of the Kiyeto region. Battle every gym leader, meet the champion, and most importantly…kick some major ass.
Soon after I admired the beautiful city, the plane landed, and I immediately grabbed my things and headed out of the plane.
Right after I got out of the plane and into the airport, I saw a man with a black suit and taxi-driver cap, holding a sign that said "Heaven". I went towards the man and he soon noticed me. He said to me "Ah. You must be Heaven of the Unova region, correct?" I replied "Yep, that's me."
The man then said "Then, right this way, please."
The man soon guided me out of the airport and into the parking lot, where I saw a woman with long, red hair and a lab coat. I figured that she was the professor of Kiyeto, since every single one of them wears some sort of lab coat.
It's nice to see that there's actually ANOTHER female professor in the world.
The professor then walked up to me and said "Oh, you must be Heaven. Your mother has told me so much about you. Welcome to the Kiyeto region! I am Professor Lake and it's an absolute honor to meet the Champion of the Unova region."
I said to her "It's no big deal, Professor. I'm just a regular trainer like everyone else." Professor Lake grinned and said to me "I see. Hey, can I see your Pokémon? I'm sure my Happiny will love to meet them." I replied "Sure thing, Professor Lake."
Then, I pulled all of my Pokeballs out of my bag and introduced them one by one.
"Come on out, Snivan…Anubis…Callum…Psyche…Chucky…and Annabelle."
Professor Lake then took out a Pokeball out of her bag and said "OK, Happiny. You come out as well." Then a cute Happiny came out of the Pokeball.
Happiny immediately ran up to Snivan and the others and started bouncing in excitement.
Professor Lake chuckled and said "It seems Happiny likes them already." Then she turned to me and said "Anyways, I'm here to give you a tour of the first town in Kiyeto, Snowwall City." I replied "Really? Thanks Professor. Did mom say that she'd meet me there?"
Then, Professor Lake had a sad look on her face and looked at the ground. I got concerned and asked "Is something wrong, Professor?" The Professor then looked up to me and said "Well…I'm so sorry, Heaven, but…your mom said that she has some last minute business with Professor Juniper, so…she can't accompany you on your journey."
Are. You. Freakin. KIDDING ME?!
I put on a shocked look on my face and said "S-so mom won't…be able to come with me?" Professor Lake put her hand on my shoulder and said "I'm sorry. But it's good that…you already traveled by yourself." I looked up to Professor Lake and said "Yea, but…it's different without…Bianca and Cheren around." The Professor replied "Oh…well, I know a really nice kid that I'm sure would love to meet you."
After Professor Lake tried to comfort me, I felt something touch my other shoulder. I turned to see Snivan using his vines to comfort me, and I looked behind him to see the others looking at me and smiling.
At that moment, I remembered the reason I got to be champion in the first place. It was because of all of my Pokémon doing their best to fight all the way through the gyms and the Pokémon League. And they all love me and I love them even more. This is why I should never give up hope, no matter how bad things get, because I have all of my Pokémon with me every step of the way.
After a moment of staring at each other, I finally perked up and said to the Professor "OK. I'm not gonna let one little thing let me down. I'm sure I'm still gonna have an awesome time in Kiyeto!"
Professor Lake chuckled and said "Well, I'm glad you feel that way." Then she looked at her watch and said "Oh! It's about time we got going." She took out Happiny's Pokeball and said "Happiny, return." And Happiny went back into her Pokeball.
Then, I did the same with all my Pokémon and went inside the Professor's red car. Once we both got into the car, Professor Lake started driving.
After about five minutes, I soon saw a town with beautiful white and blue flowers and in a large patch was a sign that said "Snowwall City"
We got even further into the city as I saw tons of buildings with the white and blue flowers on their windows and front porches. Then, after a while, I decided to let all of my Pokémon see the beautiful city. I put them all in the back seat as they admired Snowwall City.
Snivan admired the buildings and flowers, but was a little chilly due to the cold weather. Anubis admired the attractive, female Pokémon walking on the sidewalks. Callum admired everything new he could possibly find. Psyche admired the flowers and liked the fresh air flowing through her long, teal hair. Chucky never really liked flowers all that much, but he did like the buildings a little. Annabelle…I don't know what she liked; she's always smiling, so it's hard to tell.
Soon later, Professor Lake said "Heaven, we're here."
I turned to the front to see a building with a sign that said "Tundreas Café" I could also see a beautiful woman with a long, blue and violet braid that went down to her hips and bright, pink eyes. She was wearing a puffy, pink and blue dress that went down over her knees with long sleeves that had strips of violet fabric hanging down the end. The woman was also wearing violet leggings that went under light blue boots with pink laces.
We both got out of the car and Professor Lake walked up to the woman and said to her "She's here, Charlotte." The beautiful woman named Charlotte noticed me and said, with a very kind and light voice "Hello there. You must be Heaven."
Then she walked towards me as she continued "I'm very pleased to meet you, fellow champion." I walked up to her, with all of my Pokémon behind me, and replied "Oh! You must be the champion of Kiyeto!" She replied "You are correct. You may call me Charlotte. I'm sure you're aware of why I brought you to Kiyeto." I replied "Well…kind of. My mom told me that there was some sort of festival you wanted to invite me to."
Charlotte replied "Correct again. I happily invite you to the annual Lotus Festival." Then, Charlotte handed me a gold scarf with strange patterns on it.
I put on the scarf, being confused, and asked "Umm…don't mind if I'm asking, but…what exactly IS the Lotus Festival?" Charlotte replied "Well, the Lotus Fes-" She was interrupted by a voice saying "Mom, I got the hot chocolate you wanted."
The voice came from a boy with light pink hair and bright blue eyes that was wearing a white and blue hoodie, light blue jeans, and blue sneakers, who came out of the café with a glass cup with hot chocolate inside in his hands. The boy quickly put the cup on one of the tables and walked up to me and Charlotte.
Charlotte turned to him and said "Mordecai! You're just in time." Then Charlotte and the boy turned to me as Charlotte said to me "Heaven, this is my son, Mordecai. He's a Pokémon trainer just like you when you started your journey." Then, Mordecai noticed me and said nervously "O-oh my gosh! You're the champion of Unova! D-do you want anything? I c-could get you something in the café, if you want. I mean-"
I interrupted Mordecai by saying "Don't worry, Mordecai. I just recently became a champion. You don't have to be formal in front of me. I'm just a regular trainer just like you." Mordecai then relaxed and said "Oh…OK." But, I then said "Well…I would like some hot chocolate, but I can take care of that myself."
Then Mordecai said to his mom, Charlotte "OK, I'm going to get some coffee myself. I'll be right back." Charlotte said to him "OK." And Mordecai went inside the café.
Charlotte looked back at him and said to me "Isn't my Mordecai sweet?" I replied "Yea…he seemed to be very nervous to meet me, though." Charlotte sat at the table where her hot chocolate was and said "Yes, Mordecai has always been very shy, especially when he meets someone famous like yourself."
I sat at the same table as I said "Really…y-you think I'm famous?" Charlotte took a sip of her drink and said "Well…you are the youngest champion in the world and you did defeat Team Plasma so…how can you not be famous, really?"
She took another sip of her hot chocolate and continued "And plus…you did meet the legendary Pokémon, Reshiram and Zekrom." I replied "You…REALLY think that's worth getting THAT much attention?" Charlotte answered "Of course! That is one of the reasons that I invited you to the Lotus Festival in the first place."
Charlotte took another sip of her drink and said "Which reminds me…I've never answered your question, didn't I? Well, let me explain."
Charlotte gently pushed her drink aside and said "The Lotus Festival is a festival dedicated to the legendary Pokémon of the Kiyeto region, Guarin and Lotennus, for their legendary victory of defeating an incredibly strong darkness, thousands of years ago. The king and queen of the Kiyeto region were eternally grateful for their triumph and thus hosted the first ever Lotus Festival. It has been a tradition that my-…the royal family…hosted the festival every year since that day. And, as the champion, I invited you to the festival."
After listening to the story, I replied "Wow…so those are the legendary Pokémon of Kiyeto. Are there any other Pokémon in Kiyeto?" Charlotte replied "Well…no. Those are actually the only two."
Great…only two Pokémon I can discover…and they're legendaries so it's gonna be really freakin hard.
Well…I encountered Zekrom and Reshiram before, so…I'm sure it's not gonna be THAT hard.
Well…it wasn't…it was WAY easier.
So…right now I only have one fan, so…
Hey, Bewilder and I hope you had a very merry Christmas.
I know I did…because I got some awesome crap!
I got a 3DS, Pokémon X, Pokémon Art Academy, Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, some cool clothes (including an awesome t-shirt that says "Keep Calm and Catch Em' All"), a 20$ Walmart gift card, and a weird, Spanish tablet that I've never heard of in my entire life.
So, as you guessed, I had an AWESOME Christmas, as I do every year.
Sorry this took a straight two weeks to update but, I've been working on the other fanfic and preparing for Christmas. But, I'm sure the next update won't take as long.
Anyways, I have to pee and I'm going to do so, so keep being awesome.
Heaven OUT- REAL subtle with that last sentence, Heaven.
