Chapter 1:
"Eeeekans!" Yelled my Ekans who was coiled around my neck like a scarf.
"I know Ekans, it's taking forever but we are almost there," I said and my Ekans began to relax. We were on our way to the Sprout Tower to take the challenge they offer there. Because according to the man that talks to the challengers at the Violet City Gym, I need to prove myself there first. And I plan on doing just that...Proving I'm Worth Something!
I stopped dead in my tracks when I was directly in front of the Sprout Tower. I gulped and then marched inside of the tall, old, and traditional looking tower. This entire town was so much different than my hometown of Cherrygrove City. Much older in appearance, and, in a word, Darker. And now as I looked around at the interior of the sprout tower the home sickness stabbed me in the stomach. Strangely, I missed yelling at my younger siblings. That at least felt natural. But this was just so different..How was I supposed to cope? Then ,suddenly, Ekans lifted her head and nudged my cheek.
"Yes, that's how I'll cope. I'll cope with you my little darling! Are you ready?" I asked with much enthusiasm.
"Eeeekaaans!" Ekans yelled with an enthusiastic tone.
"Then let's do.."
But I was cut short when someone ran by me and hit my shoulder. The nerve, I muttered to myself and glanced around. And then I found my culprit. It was a boy with black shaggy hair that reached past his ears and forest green eyes. His skin tone was peach and he seemed to be about 13. I walked over to him and tapped his shoulder right when he was about to climb up the ladder to the second floor. Apparently I scared him because he fell back and hit the ground with a smack. "Who did that?" he bellowed and jumped up and started glancing around. Then his glare landed on me. "Hey you! Goth chick! You did that!" His loud voice almost shattered my eardrums.
I glanced down. I didn't think I looked goth. I had on a magenta long sleeved shirt, black shorts, and knee high magenta slip on boots. I also had a black back pack on, styled with my Ekans around my neck.
I usually hated getting into fights but something about this boy made my nerves explode. "Let me tell you something little boy," I started. "I didn't do anything to make you fall technically. I can't help that your a little boy who scares easy ,and furthermore, I am certainly not goth! And besides..my outfit totally whoops yours! And I just wanted you to apologize for hitting me on the shoulder! You impatient little.."
"Whoa, Whoa, there! Calm it down! I get ya! I get ya! I apologize by the way. And your outfit is actually really nice and ooh! An Ekans scarf! These use to be all over the media. What are they made of? Silk?" He shouted and it took me a while to catch up to what he last said and before I knew it he was petting Ekans' head. "Hmm it's a little rough, I'd say it's.."
"Um I wouldn't.."
"No! Don't tell me! Don't tell me! It's.."
"I'm warning you.."
"Shush! I think it's.."
But this time I didn't butt in. Ekans did it for me. She got annoyed and bit his hand.
He stumbled back grasping his hand. "Ow! Okay, it's a real Ekans! And what a bite! It might be able to last against my Pokemon! Come on out Candy!" he yelled and a little brown Pokemon with curly cotton like hair poked it's head out of his drawstring bag. It had leaf like ears and was actually very adorable. It was tiny but it had a sense of power around it. But it looked very foreign. "What is that," I said surprised.
"Ha ha, It's a Whimsicott. It's native to the Unova region. But anyways that's where I'm from. My goal is to beat all the Leagues in each region then come back home and beat my home Region league with ease! And I'm challenging you! It's time to prove how strong I am!"
I Gulped and said to him, "Bring it!"
