Vermilion City Harbor

Upon taking my first few step onto the harbor, I took a deep breath in satisfaction. A new journey was about to begin as I was now in another, yet familiar region. The region where I was born and raised by my mother until we moved to Alola. The region where some of its pokemon originally lived before migrated to other regions.

"Here we are!"

"The Kanto Region!"

A electronic voice spoke to me as a red device flew out of my pocket, floating in front of my face. The device was supposed to be a regular pokedex, but was then possessed by the electric-ghost type pokemon, Rotom when Prof. Kukui gave me the small handheld. Ever since then, he has been my most trusted companion.

"So, what should we do first?"

"I recommend stocking up on supplies before we head on over to Prof. Oak's Lab in Pallet Town." Rotom suggested.

I rubbed my chin with my right hand, thinking of what to do first until I nodded my head in agreement. Despite Kanto being a familiar region to me, it still seemed like a safe move to make before taking on a whole region. I needed to prepare for any possible situation a trainer could end up in, but luckily, I had a ton of money to afford it all thanks to all the recent battles I won within the past week.

"Then, it's off to do some shopping!" Rotom spoke.

And with that, I made my way into Vermilion City to go shop at their PokeMart. With some little supplies I brought with me, I needed as much much medical supplies I could get. There truly wasn't no limits of carrying Potions, Super Potions, Revives, or even status healing items. Especially, if you need them during dire situations.

One Hour Later

After an hour of stocking up at the PokeMart, I finally walked out of the store completely prepared. Ready to take on my original home region with my pokemon and a bunch of items to support them. But before I could begin doing all of that, I needed to pay a visit to Prof. Oak over at Pallet Town.

*BOOM!*

"AHHHHHHHH!"

An explosion and a scream was then heard from a mile away, causing me to turn towards the east. Even some of the citizens and pokemon turned, but there was no smoke indicating where the explosion occurred. The RotomDex flew out of my pocket again, informing me of what just happened.

"That sounds like someone's in trouble and it sounds like it came from Route 11!" Rotom exclaimed.

I nodded and decided to go check what was going on.


Route 11

Unknown POV

"Clef…"

"Pika…"

The agony of defeat was hitting me ass hard as ever, seeing my two pokemon fall to the dirt. Fall in front of two pokemon I was trying to defeat. Two pokemon belonging to two grunts in black.

One of them was a male and the other was a woman who had a more feminine than the guy's and she also had light blue pigtails. Both were wearing black uniforms with black hats and a rainbow colored "R" on their chests. Lastly, they had out a Vileplume and a Victreebel that took out my Clefairy and Pikachu.

"HA HA HA!"

The two grunts were rubbing my defeat even further by cackling at me as I was grinding my teeth at them. They were simply bullies who wasted their time picking on pokemon and trainers who try to fight back. Unfortunately, I was one of their unlucky victims and now I was paying the price.

""You call yourself a trainer with those pokemon?" The male grunt gloated.

"I had a harder time doing my hair in the morning." The woman complimented, fluffing her pigtails.

"Okay, you two win." I accepted.

"Just leave me alone!" I ordered.

"Of course, we'll just be claiming our prizes and we'll be off." The guy nodded in agreement, smiling wickedly.

"Prizes?" I blinked in confusion.

"Your pokemon!" The woman clarified.

My eyes immediately widened upon hearing what was said. I was about to get my pokemon stolen and there was nothing I could do to stop them. Overwhelmed by the fear of losing them, I quickly pulled out their pokeballs and tried to call them back when suddenly…

"Victreebel, use Vine Whip!" The male grunt commanded.

"Huh?!" I muttered.

The tall grass type pokemon let out a screech as it whipped out a vine out of its body, smacking me hard in the face. Immense pain began to feel on my left cheek as I fell onto the ground, dropping the pokeballs I brought out.

"Ooooooo…" I muffled in pain.

"Now use Stun Spore, Vileplume!" The woman shouted.

"P-please!" I pleaded for mercy, watching Victreebel take Clefairy with its vines.

As I witnessed my pokemon become a snack to the grass type, the Vileplume had a plan to deal with me. With its body tilted towards me, it unleashed a deadly toxin out of its flowery head, causing me to cover my mouth and nose from the attack. After reading a ton of books before my journey, I knew that a Vileplume's Stun Spore was strong enough to paralyzed it opponents. I tried my best to withstand the attack, but the bruised cheek I had made it impossible to resist.

Before I knew it, my body temperature began to skyrocket as I suddenly felt weak. With the hot sun not helping either, I slowly dozed off and prayed for somebody to come and help me and my pokemon.

"H-help me…. Somebod…"


Sun's POV

"Well, that takes care of her." The woman replied.

"I'm sure the boss will be pleased when we…"

The duo began to turn around while gloating, only to be halted by my presence. Little did they know that I heard part of what was going on, but now it was to take action.

"Oh, it's just another twerp." The woman groaned.

"Get lost, kid! Unless you want to end up like that girl over there." The male ordered.

"I simply shook my head sideways, refusing to listen.

"Oooh! So, we have a wise twerp trying to stop us." The female grunt smirked.

"Surrender now or prepare to fight Team Rainbow Rocket!" The male grunt introduced.

"Then, I guess you'll have to deal with the two of us!" Another female voice called out.

"Huh?" The two grunts muttered.

I turned around and saw my surprise partner approaching us. A tall brunette who was wearing a sun hat, a blue dress, and a silver Mega Ring that looked exactly like mine. With a pokeball in her right hand, she went up beside me and gave me a kind smile.

"This will be like old times!" The brunette smiled.

"Go, Victuribel!" The male grunt cried.

"Go, Vileplume!" The female grunt shouted.

Both of their pokemon went around their trainers, signaling the tall brunette and I to bring out our pokemon. I quickly brought out one of my pokeballs and threw it along with my teammates.

"Go, Blastoise!" The brunette called out.

"Go, Incineroar!" I yelled.

The two pokemon were summoned out of their containers as they landed onto the ground, roaring at our foes. The brunette's choice was a familiar pokemon to me as I remembered seeing one of them in Alola. It was simply a large, bulky water turtle with a large brown shell and two water turrets sticking out of it.

As for Incineroar, he was a fire type pokemon who also became my very first pokemon back in Alola. Once as a adorable fiery kitten was now a large, muscular looking feline that stood on two feet and enjoyed posing like a wrestler. Despite his somewhat comedic behavior, he was just part of my overall team.

"Victreebel, use Power Whip on Blastoise!" The male grunt ordered.

Before the brunette could even react, her pokemon was already getting a beatdown as two vines began whacking him like crazy. Fortunately for my side, the Blastoise was taken it like a champ.

"Vileplume, use Petal Dance on Incineroar!" The female grunt issued.

I turned back and noticed an incoming wave of petals heading towards me.

"Incineroar, use Flamethrower!" I spoke.

"Blastoise, Special Cannon on Victreebel!" I heard.

Both of our pokemon did as they were told,and fired their attacks. Blastoise fired a blast of energy at Victreebel while my feline starter breathed fire, burning Vileplume's attack to ashes. Meanwhile, Victreebel got blasted back to its trainer, causing our opponents to change strategies.

"Victreebel, use Wrap on Incineroar!" The male grunt pointed.

"Vileplume, Solar Beam!" The female grunt replied.

Victreebel nodded and quickly sent some vines at my pokemon, wrapping him up tightly with them. It was a good move to use on any other pokemon, but the male grunt had another thing coming to him for choosing the wrong target.

"Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat!" I responded.

"Blastoise, use Ice Beam on Vileplume!" My teammate issued her pokemon.

With Victreebel tightening its vines on Incineroar, the muscular feline began spinning with his fists out in rapid speed, taking his opponent for a ride. The move became so intense even watching from the sides as wind kept on blowing swiftly at us, causing me to hold my hat a little. Once I saw the two barely in sight from the wind, I decided to cease the move.

"Okay, STOP!" I shouted.

My starter stopped on a dime, sending his foe flying towards his trainer, knocking him down for a bit. A loud cough came out of the sickened grass type as we heard it spit some stuff out.

"Oh no! Our prizes!" The female grunt cried.

"NOW, BLASTOISE!" The brunette shouted.

Upon seeing Vileplume about to fire its Solar Beam, my partner immediately shot out a beam of ice at it. A cold impact could be felt from a couple feet away as I got a slight chill from it, seeing the big flower pokemon frozen in solid ice.

"Gah, Vileplume!" The female grunt gasped.

"You two were going to steal that poor girl's pokemon?!" The brunette screamed.

"And we would've gotten away with them too if it weren't for you and that meddling kid!" The male grunted groaned, getting back up on his feet.

"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" I heard.

"Incineroar, use Fiery Blitz on Vileplume!" I played along.

Know that my teammate wanted to get the battle over with, I followed my lead by telling my pokemon the next order. Fire burst all over Incineroar as he started charging towards the frozen Vileplume, smashing it out of the ice and knocking the female grunt down along with it. Their partner wasn't so lucky either as his Victreebel tried to defend its trainer from Blastoise's Hydro Pump, only to have the two of them get washed a few feet back.

"This isn't over." The female grunt hissed.

"Not by a long shot!" The male grunted growled.

The duo returned their fainted pokemon back into their pokeballs and switched them over with some other ones.

"Go, Golbat!" The female grunt called, throwing another pokeball.

"Go, Raticate!" The male grunt followed.

Both pokeballs opened up, revealing our next opponents. The woman had a slightly big bat pokemon; which was Zubat's evolution while the guy had a chubby brown and beige furred rat. The Raticate looked somewhat interesting to me since Alolan Raticates were different colors, but in the end, they were still disappointing to battle. I shook my head in disappointment and decided to change pokemon.

"You did great Incineroar. Return!" I commented, zapping him back into his pokeball.

Upon seeing my foes new pokemon, I already had the right one in mind against them as I placed Incineroar back into my pocket and brought out another pokeball.

"Come on out, Raichu!" I called out.

The pokeball opened up, revealing an orange furred electric mouse who enjoyed surfing in midair with his tail.

"I've never seen a Raichu like that before." The brunette commented.

Little did my teammate knew that the Raichu I caught in Alola was a different species of their kind that inhabited the tropical region. Not only did it look different than the Raichu's in Kanto, but it also knew some unexpected moves a normal Raichu couldn't learn.

"Who cares!" The female grunt spitted.

"Golbat, use Confuse Ray!" She commanded.

"Raichu, Thundershock on Golbat!" I pointed.

"Blastoise. Hydro Pump on Golbat!" The brunette ordered her pokemon.

"Raticate, use Swords Dance!" The male grunt spoke.

The large bat's eyes began to glow as its body got shrouded in purple, sending out a ray of confusion at my electric mouse. Golbat ended up getting hit by Blastoise's Hydro Pump, but the brunette's pokemon got struck by my confused Raichu's Thundershock. To make matters worse for us, Raichu had given Blastoise a slight chance of being paralyzed thanks to the Thundershock. Meanwhile, Raticate was increasing its strength by doing a little dance.

"No! Golbat!" The female grunt cried.

"You okay, Blastoise?!" The brunette asked with concern.

"Now, Raticate use Hyper Fang on Raichu!" The male grunt smiled/

As we saw the female grunt get on her knees in submission, it became clear that our last hurdle was her partner's Raticate. Unfortunately, it seemed as if it was going to start rough with a brutal move as I saw its fangs shining really bright.

"Raichu, use Psychic!" I reacted.

"Blastoise, use Ice Beam!" The brunette issued.

With Raichu confused and Blastoise possibly paralyzed, it didn't look too good for my side. The chubby rat pokemon went over to my side of the field with his fangs ready to bite, but just as he was about to, something happened. Our opponent stopped unexpectedly in midair, revealing a blue aura around it. An aura that I came to know since my first journey.

"Huh?!" The two grunts muttered.

Everyone turned their attention towards my Alolan Raichu as he miraculously shook off his confusion. A blue aura shrouded himself in the same blue aura, unleashing Psychic on its foe. The move crushed Raticate from the inside, knocking it out in one hit and ending the tag battle.

"NO WAY!" The male grunt gasped.

"There goes our raise." The female grunt sighed.

The duo returned their pokemon back into their pokeballs and ran passed me yelling, "We're blasting off again!".

"Ahhh. just like old times!" The brunette exclaimed.

I returned Raichu back into his pokeball and went over to the fallen trainer and her pokemon. Unfortunately, the trainer was none other than a close friend of mine.


Please Review and Comment!


Fun fact: I was going to have Sun be in Viridian Forest for this chapter, but then I thought this idea was much more epic. And yes, the Stun Spore bit is a reference that Season 2 episode of Pokemon where Ash got sick by a Vileplume.
