Haiz! It's me again, I'm going to try and update at least once a week, so don't think that I'm going to abandon this one! Anyway, I would appreciate reviews and comments, feel free to flame, just give a GOOD reason for it, ok? I won't have people trashing my fics just because they may or may not be slash. (I haven't decided whether the M is for explicit or violence, but there won't be any for a long while!)
'blargh' - Telepathy

Sixteen year old Zenith Nightshade glared in envy at the new trainers leaving the entrance of Pallet Town with their new pokemon on their journeys. It just wasn't fair! He was sixteen, already had a pokemon, and yet only those ten year olds were allowed to go. Meanwhile, he had to help the community with their day to day jobs while his father gave out pokemon and pokedexes to others!
He was currently helping out Mr Mime clear the weeds out of Mrs Delilah Ketchum's garden. It wasn't that the pokemon couldn't do the work himself, (ALL Pokemon if this fic get genders, -it- is a cruel thing to call something that you know the gender of so we'll leave it at that.) it was just that after not seeing her son for a while, after losing Professor Oak, had gotten to her, and Mimey needed almost all of his time to look after her. Professor Oak had passed away 3 years prior, and everyone had devastated. The old professor had obtained a lot of friends over the years, and when he died, everyone had come out to pay tribute, including the champion of Sinnoh! Poor Delilah had been closest that anyone however, and without Oak's company, she had gotten worse and worse.
Zenith's father, Professor Nightshade, had been apprenticing under Oak for over 7 years at the time, and it had come as no shock that the elderly professor had left him all his notes and research, including the duty to give beginner trainers their first pokemon and pokedexes. Of course, as Professor Nightshade's only child, he was made to stay at home and help with research or do jobs for the locals.
Zenith himself was a small, lanky boy with bright purple hair, blue eyes, and a love for psychic pokemon. He simply found their powers and intelligence fascinating, and most psychic pokemon he met took an instant liking to him. Zenith finished the last of the weeds, said goodbye to Mimey, and started walking back to the lab. When he got there, his father was on the PokeGear, so he walked up the stairs to his room. He stopped for a moment to look at his father's face, and saw that it was white – obviously not a good call. He picked up his binary folders and started looking through them.
He had for the last two years been collecting information on a mysterious pokemon named 'MewTwo'. It had first been seen near New Island, the place where the notorious Dr Fuji was arrested for stealing pokemon to aid with his cloning research. The Dr had been the only survivor in the explosion, and had been muttering 'MewTwo, I did it, I created the perfect specimen' according to the Jennies that had been on site. Other sightings of the creature had been seen all over Kanto, but had stopped near Cerulean, where the cave nearby had suddenly started emitting poisonous gas. The gas had stopped recently, right after Champion Ash Ketchum had been seen near the cave. The numerous reports claimed the pokemon to be a psychic type, due to the strange occurrences when sighted, and that only fuelled Zenith's researching passion.
Right now, there had been no sightings of the pokemon for a while, and Zenith had been fearing that his research had come to an end. 'Zenith!' His father yelled, obviously off the PokeGear now, 'I've been asked to go to the Pokemon League, are you coming!' Zenith leapt, going to the Indigo Plateau was a once in a lifetime privilege from his father, who usually never let Zenith leave Pallet Town. 'Coming!' He yelled back, quickly grabbing his backpack and pokeball containing his only pokemon, and sprinting down the stairs. Zenith's pokemon was an Abra, and they had been together as friends for over 5 years, when a pregnant Alakazam laid one of her eggs in front of the Lab, and Zenith hatched it.
Zenith stood, gaping at the private jet that had landed in the back paddock of the Pokemon Laboratory. Elite Four member Lance stood near it, waiting patiently for Zenith and his father. 'I trust that you are ready to go?' The dragon tamer asked, gazing at the two Nightshades, 'The champion is waiting for you at the League.' Zenith and the Professor quickly climbed aboard, not seeing the sorrow filled eyes of their neighbour through her window.
And that's it for now, I'll try to post this at least once every week, so watch out for it, okays? Remember, I love your reviews, and flames are welcome as long as they're helpful advice.
BI BI! :)
