koryandrs: Glad you like this!
Trainer Roy: Thanks. I chose to start with six Pokemons cause I like that my favorite Pokemons get the spotlight now.
"Where can it be?" mumbled a troubled Arcus.
Arcus has been traveling for about two hours since he had arrive on Earth. Despite his confidence, he had lost most of his sense of direction. He was completely lost!
Arcus stopped in his tracks, he looked up at the sky and saw a Pidgey flying around. One of his Universal ball started shaking and Meowth came out of it.
Meowth nuzzled his leg and chanted,"Meow Meow Meowth!"
Arcus nodded and said,"You're right Meowth, I can't give up now. I'm sure we're close!" Meowth smiled and hopped onto Arcus's shoulder.
His Universal balls all started shaking and all his Pokemons came out. Arcus smiled and guessed,"I'm thinking you guys hate staying in your balls." Snivy, Absol and Torchic all chanted back and Arcus said,"Sorry, you guys...and girls hate staying in your balls." The three nodded in satisfaction.
The group continued they way towards the town, they heard a loud screech,"Spear!"
Arcus turned and saw a Spearow swooping down at him. Arcus took out his Pokedex and it said,"Spearow, the small bird Pokemon. Spearow are mostly brown, with slightly pinkish red wings. Its shoulders are black, but rarely visible due to its plumage. Spearow have a brown underbelly and noticeably large feet and talons. They are extremely aggressive against people when they are being disturbed."
Arcus sighed and said,"Looks like we got ourselves a hothead right here."
Absol growled and Arcus asked,"Do you want to battle it?" Absol smiled and nodded, signaling that she is saying yes. Arcus nodded and said,"Alright! Absol, use Quick Attack!" She obeyed and dashed straight for the Spearow. The Spearow dodged right on time and flew up onto a tree branch. Arcus then said,"Absol, use Razor Wind!" Absol smirked and stood her ground as two mini tornadoes appeared beside her. Absol's horn started glowing white and as she swung her head, a projectile was launched from her horn.
The projectile slashed through the tree branch and the Spearow was caught off guard. Arcus exclaimed,"Absol, use Quick Attack one more time! Snivy, use vine whip!"
Snivy revealed two of her vines and she wrapped them around the Spearow's body. Absol charged straight at the trapped Spearow and she gave it a headbutt that knocked it right into a tree. Once the Spearow landed on the ground, it looked up at Arcus and softly said,"Spear."
It then fainted and Meowth chanted,"Meow"
Arcus nodded and said,"Time to catch him!"
A white orb appeared on his hand and it revealed another Universal ball. Arcus smiled and tossed the ball at the fainted Spearow. As the ball collided with Spearow's head, a red glow was emitted from his body. He was soon absorbed into the all and Arcus picked it up. The ball then disappeared into thin air and Arcus began panicking as he kept finding the ball.
After minutes of worthless searching, the group continued on without the ball containing Spearow. Just as Arcus took one step, his Pokedex opened up and it showed a great view of a scenery filled with clear blue skies, a giant lake and trees surrounding the area. He noticed that a Spearow flew up and down the place before it flew up to the screen and happily exclaimed,"Spearow!" Arcus smiled and thought Maybe that was the planet that dad was talking about.
They continued their journey until they saw that the path was getting wider. Mudkip chanted,"Mud! Mudkip!" Arcus turned and saw that Mudkip was looking at a house nearby. The group quickened their pace until they reached the entrance of the town.
As the group entered, Arcus realized that as he passed by people, they turned to stare at him and his Pokemons. This continued until a Bulbasaur had released its razor leaf at Arcus. Luckily, Torchic had burnt the leaves using ember.
A boy stopped Arcus and asked,"Where did you get those Pokemons? I don't think professor Oak has seen some of them before."
Arcus quickly thought of an excuse and said,"I got them from my father when he was exploring the forest."
Meowth tugged on Arcus's pants and chanted,"Meow Meow Meow"
Arcus nodded and said,"Uh, kid, do you know anyone who can help me with my Pokemons?"
The kid rubbed his chin for a while and said,"You can try professor Oak. He knows a lot about Pokemons."
Arcus smiled and said,"Thanks." He looked at his Pokemons and said,"Come on, let's get going." The Pokemons happily obeyed and followed their master. Unknown to them, another kid was watching them as they left and he followed them.
Snivy got up onto Arcus's left shoulder and whispered,"Snivy!"
Arcus nodded and said,"Snivy, use vine whip!"
Snivy gracefully jumped off and revealed two of her vines, wrapping the boy who was following them. Arcus looked closely at the boy, the boy was wearing a cap that was red and white with a opened beak-like symbol. The boy was also a blue and white vest jacket.
Arcus asked,"Why were you following me?"
The boy replied,"I just wanted to see your Pokemons. After all, I want to become a Pokemon master when I get my first Pokemon tomorrow."
Arcus smiled and said,"I'll join you on your way to become a Pokemon master then. What's your name kid?"
The boy smiled and said,"My name's Ash Ketchum! Future Pokemon master!"
Arcus said,"I admire your enthusiasm but save it till you get your Pokemon tomorrow."
That's when another kid appeared and said,"Let him go! He's just a pathetic kid whose dreams won't come true."
Arcus turned and saw a kid wearing a purple shirt.
The Legendary Pokemon huffed and said,"Everyone should give it all their strength to achieve their dreams. I believe Ash here just need a little help to achieve his dream."
The other kid huffed and left, leaving Arcus and Ash behind.
Arcus looked at Ash and said,"I think it's time for you to head home. I'll be waiting for you when you come and get your Pokemon." Ash nodded and ran off. Aaron looked at his Pokemons and said,"Let's keep moving." The Pokemons nodded and followed Arcus, again.
Later, Arcus had reached professor Oak's lab, he entered the lab and yelled,"Hello? Anyone here?"
A voice replied,"Just a minute!"
Soon, a man in a white lab coat came out of a room and said,"Sorry, I was just preparing the three Pokemons for the new trainers tomorrow." He looked up at Arcus and asked,"Can I help you?"
Arcus smiled and said,"I was thinking if you would help me to see if my Pokemons are alright."
The man smiled and said,"Not at all! Please, do step in." Arcus nodded and gestured his Pokemons to enter the room with him.
The man stopped and said,"Oh how silly of me not to introduce myself. My name is professor Oak. I am a professor that studies about Pokemons and may I say, you have some Pokemons I have never seen before." Professor Oak picked up Mudkip and said,"Hey there little guy." Mudkip quickly teared up and cried loudly.
Professor Oak was about to drop Mudkip but Arcus quickly took Mudkip back and he stopped crying. Professor Oak chuckled and said,"I think that Pokemon has taken a liking to you. You must have taken great care for it." Arcus smiled and professor Oak said,"Now if you could just let me examine them so I could check them."
After a while of checking, Professor Oak said,"Well, they are all in great shape! For Pokemons that I don't even know, they sure are quite spectacular."
Arcus then asked,"Uh...Professor Oak, may I stay here for the night?"
Professor Oak smiled and said,"Sure! Just don't make any noise later. I'm about to broadcast a show for the new trainers that explains to them about the three starter Pokemons they'll receive tomorrow."
Arcus nodded and said,"You have my word professor."
In Ash's bedroom, he was tying his shoes as he was watching a match between two Pokemon trainers. Ash thought Now that I'm ten, I can finally get my Pokemon license. I will journey to gain the wisdom of Pokemon training and I hereby declare that the Pokemon of the world, I will become a Pokemon master! He put on his cap and started watching the match again.
That's when his mother yelled,"Ash! Get to bed! It's eleven O'clock and you should be asleep."
Ash complained,"But tomorrow's the day I begin my Pokemon journey. I can't sleep."
That's when his mother change the channel on his television and said,"If you can't sleep, you should at least get ready for tomorrow. Here, watch professor Oak's lecture."
The channel switched from the match to the Pallet Town's lab with professor Oak standing in front of the camera and a board behind him with pictures of Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. Professor Oak started,"Good evening Pallet, tomorrow's the big day for the newest class of Pokemon students. I'd like to introduce you to Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle." He pointed to the three pictures of the Pokemon he just said and he continued,"each one is available for new trainees. Which one shall you choose?" Ash's mother said,"Alright, it's time to go to bed when this is done."
Ash, still engrossed with the show, said,"Alright, I'm going."
His mother left the room and said,"Make sure you change into your pajamas too."
