Ready for the Adventure!
Akira got off the boat, Astrid's arm linked with hers as Firepaw watched from the top of her hat, his eyes wide. "Well this must be Sapphire Islands!" Akira squealed in excitement and looked around in wonder "Such a little kid as usual" Daniella said smirking at her with her usual cruel grin "have you learnt anything since the League?" Daniella said coldly, smirking at Akira. "Yeah, that I'm better than you" Akira said and ignored Daniella's comments "HEY IM TALKING TO YOU!" she snapped, her face going red. "Look who's acting like the little kid now, nothing has ever changed about you Daniella" Astrid said, her brown eyes cold. They giggled as her face turned scarlet, her lips pinched together in anger. "Come along Snivy!" she said as she turned on her heels, Snivy behind her looking just as mad. "Thanks Astrid, I swear I was going to go over there and ugh I don't know" Akira said hotly "nobody makes fun of my best friend". They soon looked around the village; a joyful aura surrounded the people. "Okay first we need Potions then some more Pokeballs then some Pokéfood then-" "SLOW DOWN AKIRA!" Astrid said, a smirk on her face at her enthusiasm "sorry I just can't wait!"
Akira smiled as somebody threw his pokeball, it opened and a Treeko appeared and it stood ready. "Hmm a Treeko, let's have a look" she looked it up "Treeko, the Wood Gecko Pokémon. The soles of its feet are covered by countless tiny spikes, enabling it to walk on walls and ceilings" Akira smiled and picked a Pokeball, using a Fire Type was her specialty. "Vulpix, time to SHINE!" her Vulpix cried out and fire bristled around her. "Cool a Vulpix!" he looked her up on his Hoenn Pokedex "Vulpix, the Fox Pokémon. It controls balls of fire, as it grows its six tails split from their tips to make more tails, it evolves into Ninetails" "Okay Treeko lets go! Energy Ball!" Treeko shot a ball of energy towards Vulpix "Dodge and use Attract!" Akira ordered and hearts went round Treeko, his eyes went heart shaped "Treeko snap out of it!" he trainer cried but it was no use. "Now Flamethrower!" Akira ordered "VULPIX!" a blast of raging fire hit Treeko, he fell off and he fainted. "Treeko is unable to battle, Vulpix wins!" a referee said, declaring Akira the winner. "Alright Vulpix, you did well get a good rest" Akira said petting her fiery fox Pokémon "Vul!" it agreed as Akira made her return.
Akira glanced up and noticed a girl staring at her, her icy blue eyes looked at her with curiosity with her Glaceon which was lighter coloured than others. "Glaceon, let's go" she said pulling her bag over her shoulder, she wore a long light blue coat with light green bow around her neck with blonde hair falling down to the floor. She walked off, a confident smile on her lips "why was she looking at me?" Akira muttered "don't you know who that is?" somebody said and Akira looked dumbstruck. "That's Gail, she's Gym leader for Cold Island which is known as the island of snow and ice" someone else said, a Purrloin on his shoulder. "Which is our first stop, she uses Ice Types and her partner is a lighter coloured Glaceon" Astrid said. "Cold Island here we come!" Akira said. "Well I guess I shall see you there, of course I will be entering the Sapphire League and winning it" Daniella's cold voice rang from the crowd. "See you there Daniella" Akira said with a confident smile.
"Hey Astrid, what are you going to do while we are here?" Akira asks walking down the harbour with Firepaw asleep in her arms "Well one thing is certain, I'm going to travel with you and cheer you on at the Sapphire League" Astrid said after a pause. "Well that's good enough as well as you're cooking skills" Akira laughed then Astrid joined in with her. Akira looked over the sea later that night, she wondered if she was strong enough for Sapphire League, even the gyms. "Tepig" Firepaw nudged her and she knew he was right, she was strong enough. "Okay, again Bulbasaur Energy Ball!" Akira said as her Bulbasaur produced a small ball of energy, not yet the full thing. "Now hit the tree!" Akira ordered but it dispersed and Bulbasaur sighed "hey, we will get there" she said patting his bulb. "Bulba!" he leapt at her and began to lick her as she giggled "cut it out!" she said laughing hard. "LAPRAS!" suddenly a Lapras appeared, it had something stuck on his head like a net.
"Hey, what's a net doing on a Lapras?" Astrid said coming over "Pokémon Poachers" Akira said angrily and ran over to the poor Lapras, it looked skinny since the net trapped its mouth so it couldn't eat. "Its okay, let me help you I know your scared" Akira approached it softly, it shrieked and used Hydro Pump. "Akira it's too dangerous!" Astrid said but Akira ignored her and continued forward. "Tepig! Te tep tepig!" Firepaw told it, calming it down so Akira helped get the net off it "easy, easy does it" she freed it from the heavy net. "That's it now you must be hungry" she held out a some Pokéfood for it, the Lapras looked nervous as it lowered its head and ate the food. "There you go, have as much as you want" she poured more into her hand.
"You have a way with Pokémon, I look forward to battling you" Gail suddenly appeared and smiled "I've seen that Lapras many times, swimming with that net stuck round her" Gail said frown on her lips "that's why I'm here, I have tried many times to set it free and make sure its not further hard yet every time I tried it attacked me" she then said "you really must have a gift, ill be waiting for you at the Cold Gym" she turned and walked away. "Lapras!" it licked Akira's face then Akira had an idea "hey, do you want to come with me?" she asked and Lapras nodded, Akira smiled and opened a Pokeball. Lapras went inside and a few times is shook in her hand. "Alright, I just got A LAPRAS FOR A NEW FRIEND!" Akira said cheering. "Now to let my adventure begin and for me to win my first badge in the Sapphire League!" Akira said happy that her journey had began.
