Julio's POV Viridian City
This was actually a pretty big town to be honest with several buildings, a battle club and of course the gym where my dad would soon be accepting challengers. But first we need to stop by the house and say hi to mom. The house itself was two stories so that was a plus with a simple white paint job, and a few windows it also had a small patio with a few chairs and a small table.
"Oh, I've missed you." A woman with long black hair and dark red eyes said hugging me and my sister before kissing my dad lightly. She was of course our mother and though I took hair and eyes from her my sister had her facial structure and though I won't tell her she got my mother's beauty. Speaking of my mother she was wearing a simple black t-shirt and jeans with black boots that went a halfway to her knee.
"Same here mom." I said before Hikari jumped into her arms licking her with Hokori doing the same only nuzzling her.
"Good to see you two as well. I hope you kept them out of trouble." She said smiling at their affection. I rolled my eyes at the last comment since they got into trouble more than me.
"Hey mom. Dad I'm gonna look around the city for a bit, I'll be back soon." I said walking off with them calling me to be careful and Hikari walking alongside me.
5 minutes later
Barely five minutes here and I'm bored, I wanted to have a battle but I'm not sure where to find one. As I was about to keep walking some guy bumped me.
"Hey watch it." I said turning to look at them with a slight glare with him returning it.
"Don't day dream then." He said harshly. He was about as tall as me with brown hair, blue eyes and dark skin. He was wearing a purple jacket with a black t-shirt underneath and jeans with holes around the knees and purple running shoes. He was a bit familiar. I noticed a poke ball clipped to a brown belt and apparently, he noticed Hikari so he smirked.
"You're a trainer, huh? Well, let's settle this argument with a battle." He smirked clipping the ball off his belt, expanding it and tossing it in the air releasing a small dog pokémon. It had orange fur and black stripes with cream colored fur on its muzzle, chest, belly, tail and a small tuft of fur on its head. It had gray eyes, a black nose and round ears and seemed to be playful. I recognized it as a Growlithe because my mom has it's evolved state Arcanine.
"Sure. I was looking for one anyway. Let's go Hikari." I said to my Eevee who nodded and bounded in front of me. "The name's Julio by the way."
"I'm Ren. Let's battle." He said his Growlithe barking in agreement.
Single battle Julio vs Ren
"Let's start this off with quick attack." I said causing Hikari who shot forward with a white trail coming iff her and slamming into Growlithe but doing little damage. "Does it have intimidate?"
"Yep. Use tackle." He commanded but unfortunately for him Hikari as fast and easily dodged it.
"Let's even the playing field. Use baby doll eyes." I said causing Hikari to give sad eyes to Growlithe lowering its attack by a bit. "Perfect. Use shadow ball."
Hikari opened her mouth and let loose a small sphere of purple energy with black lightning around it. Ren was clearly surprised at my move declaration but retaliated with a quick "Ember!" countering it. It created a small smoke cloud that made it difficult to see but I acted quickly.
"Use dig." I shouted and after the smoke cleared there was a hole and Growlithe clearly had no idea where to look. "While its confused use shadow ball."
Behind him the ground cracked and out popped Hikari allowing her to hit it with the attack causing it to howl in pain.
"Push past the pain and use bite." Ren shouted and his time it landed the hit causing Hikari to cry out. "Now throw it in the air and use ember."
After flinging Hikari into the air it fired the small burst of fire and it hit dead on. Hikari cried in pain but still able to battle but not without wincing from a burn.
"Use double team." I shouted and soon several copies appeared and causing the Growlithe to look confused "Now full power shadow ball and make it rapid fire."
She fired off multiple attacks though Growlithe didn't know what was real the real attack connected and the others collided it didn't sand a chance. It collapsed to the ground with swirls in its eyes unable to continue.
"Nice job girl." I said hugging her and rubbing her tail her favorite place to be pet before turning my attention to Ren who had returned his Growlithe. "Nice battle, I didn't expect that bite and ember combo."
"Whatever. You got lucky, next time I'll win it." He said coldly before walking away causing me to frown.
"What's his deal? Eh let's head to the Pokémon Center Hikari. You need it." I said picking her us in my arms before walking off to the center.
Pokémon center. 20 minutes later
"Excuse me but your Eevee is fully recovered." A pretty woman with pink hair and blue eyes wearing a nurse's outfit told me. Hikari jumped into my arms letting out happy noises before calming down.
"Thank you, nurse Joy." I said bowing respectfully.
"It's no problem but how did your Eevee get hurt exactly?" She questioned.
"In a battle with some guy named Ren I beat." I said shrugging before she gasped. "Um what's up."
"Did he use a Growlithe?" She asked and I nodded in response. "Then you took on quite a trainer he had won the Kalos league a year ago and had come to Kanto and from what was said he had found a Growlithe as his starter."
"Wow I thought he looked familiar." I said having watched the league.
"To meet him and beat him is quite an accomplishment." She said. "Even if he is starting anew."
"Well I hope I get to battle him again." I said turning away towards the exit. "Thanks again but I need to get home."
Two minutes later
I was on the way home when I had the feeling I was being followed and apparently, Hikari felt the same way because she began to growl. I turned my head to a pair of bushes and saw it rustle.
"Use shadow ball." I whispered to Hikari and she fired it into the bushes causing a scream to erupt from the bushes female from the sound of it. A few seconds later a girl with icy blue hair and pale white skin erupted from the bushes glaring at me with blue eyes she stood about five feet so I had to look down at her. She was wearing a dark blue sweater with white snowflake designs and a short blue skirt that went a bit under mid-thigh white socks that went up to her knees and finally white sneakers with blue laces. I had to admit even with the cold glare she was giving me she was pretty cute.
"What was that for?" She demanded glaring at me.
"You were in the bushes following me. Of course, I'd feel threatened and attack." I said returning the glare. I looked down and noticed an Eevee with a blue scarf around his neck. I could tell it was male from his voice pitch and the fact Hikari was staring with hearts in her eyes at him.
"I wasn't following you!" She shouted a slight blush on her face possibly from embarrassment.
"Oh really? Then why were you in the bushes a while ago when I left the Poke center and now you're here." I said in a deadpan voice causing her to blush.
"Um well I saw your battle and I thought you were cool is all and since I'm new in town and you are too I thought we could talk." She said looking at her feet.
"How'd you know I just came here?" I questioned.
"Well news about a new gym leader coming and he had children spread around and well I heard he was about 17 so I thought hey maybe I can make a friend since most in town find me weird." She said shyly in a cute way.
"Okay 1, don't spy on people from the bushes it probably doesn't help, 2 okay why not? Names Julio Shinku and this is Hikari." I said gesturing to Hikari she let out a small "Vee" before turning back to talk the Eevee who had a blush.
"Really?! I mean I'm Yuki and this is Korudo my Eevee." She said hiding her excitement.
"Snow and cold, huh? Let me guess you aspire to be a master ice type trainer." I said smiling.
"Yeah, guess it is obvious but I love ice types so I'm gonna shoot for it." She said smiling. "What's your goal since you know mine."
"Simple. I want to travel around the world and become strong with my pokémon." I said smiling back. "Whether I win leagues or not I plan to go through all of them and one day battle a champion."
"Seems like a simple goal but the simpler the better I always say." She declared pumping her fist causing me to smile.
"You know I thought ice type trainers are usually cold and quiet but you proved me wrong." I said smirking.
"Hey ice type trainers can be warm too ya know." She said puffing her cheeks cutely causing me to laugh a bit.
"I'm joking. Anyways I need to get home but I'll see you tomorrow if you want." I said gesturing to Hikari to come along.
"I'd like to, but I have to walk to pallet town to get my pokedex from professor Oak." She said a bit down.
"What a coincidence so am I." I said smiling as she perked up a bit.
"Really? Then we can go together." She said happily.
"Then let's meet at the gate around noon then an we'll go." I said smiling at her kind nature.
"Okay see you tomorrow Julio." She said walking away with Korudo following. I followed suit and with Hikari walked home happy at finding a new friend.
AN: well that was fun to write and I hope you enjoyed this chapter I plan to get the next one up soon so I can return to my main story. I hope you enjoyed the additions of Ren and Yuki and I'm sure you can figure out their roles in the story but I'm not gonna say anything. Little side note but I wanted to clear up something that some of you are probably thinking. No, I'm not gonna give a description of every pokémon Julio comes across except for a certain few and Julio is not gonna get a legendary, he'll befriend some but that's it. Also, I decided to not have a four-move limit but don't worry for those with OCs you don't have to add more moves if your pokémon have four moves if you don't want to. Also, be sure to leave if you want them to appear at a certain region or if you want to leave it up to me.
Also, major shout out to GreaterDemon for being the first to submit his own OC and man is he intimidating both in terms of appearance and team. I'm gonna enjoy having Julio and Lucius battle in the future but it is definitely a pokémon league battle but I'm gonna be sure to make it a good battle.
Please leave a review with your thoughts and ideas and your own OCs because I plan on keeping it going for a while since I do have multiple regions to go through. Constructive criticism is welcome but please no flames.
