Right, second chapter is starting. I had a bit of trouble with the idea but here it is! My friend has been helping me out with ideas for my other stories not on this site so the wait for this chapter wasn't as long as expected. Enjoy~
*Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon in any way; I only own my original characters.


Bianca stared at Sora as she started muttering to her Snivy. The battle was still going ahead but she had just suddenly started shouting at the Pokémon.

Not in an angry sort of way, but more like surprise.

"Um… Sora, are we going to continue this battle or are you not feeling well?" The blonde asked her friend.

"Yes stupid trainer, are we going to continue" Boa taunted her.

"S-sorry Bianca, I was distracted" Sora replied, glaring at Boa "Let's continue okay?"

"Of course we should" Bianca laughed, looking at the Oshawott. "Okay Oshawott, use tackle~"

"Boa, block it" Sora called back.

The Snivy nodded his head and used his fan-like tail to stop the attack from hitting him directly.

"Now you use tackle as well" Sora continued

Boa sounded like he let out a laugh and slammed his head into the Oshawott, causing it to fall onto the ground.

"Okay you two, Oshawott can't battle anymore." Cheren said "Sora wins this one"

"Aw, that was a great battle Sora!" Bianca cheered, cradling her Oshawott "You're awesome at battles"

"I-I wouldn't say that…" She laughed, looking at Boa who smirked back and hopped onto her shoulder.

"Here" Cheren said, rummaging in his bag. "Potions, use them to heal your Pokémon, it's not good to let them stay hurt"

Both girls nodded and gave the two potions to both of their new partners, who happily took them.

"Come on you two, you should have a battle now!" Bianca giggled.

Cheren smiled and looked over at Sora, who grinned back.

"We always fought over who would win when we were kids Cheren. Guess we can find out now for sure…"

"It will be me of course, don't get your hopes up" He replied, smirking now.

Grabbing the pokeball attached to the belt on his waist he threw it up in the air releasing the Tepig (A/N: Yes, I used Pokabu in the previous chapter. It was a mistake that I overlooked; I'll be using Tepig now)

It snorted out flames from its snout and glared at the Snivy that had gracefully hopped off Sora's shoulder.

"Hmph, bad type matchup isn't it" Sora muttered to herself.

"No need to worry about that stupid trainer, he doesn't know any fire attribute moves…" She heard Boa laugh.

"SHUT UP" Another unfamiliar voice bellowed. "THAT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!"

Sora blinked, looking around her for any signs of another person. Then she heard her partner laugh once again.

"Calm down you pig; you're confusing my new trainer…" He chuckled, looking directly at the Tepig across from him.

"How can I…? You just mocked me!" The voice cried.

"Hey, calm down… I don't know any grass attribute moves either" He sighed, shaking his head.

The voice stayed quiet now and it finally clicked in her head.

"It was Tepig that spoke?" She muttered. "He can talk too…?"

"Well done, you're so smart" Boa smirked "We can all talk; trainers just generally can't hear our words"

"Let's start then, shall we Sora?" Cheren smiled.

"Y-yeah, let's go Boa" She replied hastily. "We definitely won't lose to you two!"

Cheren just chuckled and waved his hand, as he did so he informed his Tepig to use tackle on the small Boa who just chuckled and dodged it with ease.

"His attacks aren't all that powerful, but Boa's speed and defence are probably the best out of himself and Tepig" Sora thought. "Lowering his defence would be wise so Boa had a better chance of knocking him out"

"Boa, use tail whip quickly!" She commanded the grass Pokémon who did as he was told. "Follow it up with tackle"

"Tepig, use tackle as well" Cheren called.

"Hmph… Tail whip again" Sora said grumpily. "Once more afterwards"

"You seem agitated trainer" Boa muttered as he obeyed her orders "Upset at the lack of moves I can use?"

"Possibly…" She replied, watching Cheren's movements closely. "Bianca was a lot easier to beat because she didn't focus on the battle; more so on having fun with Oshawott. Cheren is more focused on winning"

"And Oshawott's defence was a lot weaker than this pig's" Boa grumbled.

Sora nodded in agreement, ordering Boa to dodge her friend's attack once more. She frowned, trying to think of a way she could win. She glanced at the leaves on Boa's tail.

"Hey Boa?" She asked quietly "Would you be able to whip up some wind by waving your tail?"

"Probably would be able, but why should I?"

"It could distract Tepig, then you'd be able to tackle him and we'd win if it was direct. He's getting tired so I doubt he has much energy leftover"

"Alright then trainer, let's see if it works. Tell me when…" He smirked his usual smirk.

"Right"

"Tepig, use tackle!" Cheren commanded.

Sora didn't say anything; the grass type just dodged it resulting in the fire type crashing into a nearby tree behind him. Sora watched as the pig struggled to get up, showing his underbelly.

"Now Boa!" She called over to him.

He laughed and waved his tail, causing the fire type to be blown into the tree once more. It squealed out in pain.

"Now, use tackle quickly Boa" She followed.

"Roger~"

The Pokémon dashed over to the other creature before slamming into his underbelly. The Tepig whined as he hit the tree a last time before Bianca signalled the end of the match.

"Nice battle Sora" Cheren chuckled, picking up his Tepig and giving it a potion while handing the girl another one.

"Thanks, that was fun. You're really good Cheren" She laughed.

"So what do we do now?" Bianca asked, hopping over to sit next to the two.

"Well… I'm going home to show Aunt Ami Boa" Sora replied "Not sure about you two"

"Same, I'm going to show my parents Tepig and ask if I can go on a journey with him" Cheren smiled.

"A journey huh? I want to go on one too~" Bianca grinned. "I should ask, you should too Sora. And Mikan and Haru too so we can all leave together!"

"That's actually a great idea Bianca" Sora said, putting her arm around the blonde's shoulder. "I'll go ask now!"

"We'll all meet up here after we've asked okay?" Cheren called after the girl, who had already run off.

"Alright, see you guys in a bit" She replied.

"Hey Aunt Ami" Sora cheered, walking in the front door.

"Welcome back Sora, you got a Pokémon as well then?" She replied, smiling knowingly.

"You know it, this is Boa" She laughed, pointing to the grass type on her shoulder.

"You and your sister nicknamed them then?" She sighed "Anyways, those two girls ran upstairs to have a battle I think. Such a racket."

"I'll go talk to them, okay?" Sora said, dashing up the steps to her and Mikan's room where she heard voices.

She froze when she opened the door. The entire room was a complete mess, her table was overturned, there were paw prints everywhere and the TV was sideways on the ground.

"W-what happened to my…" Sora couldn't finish, she just glared at Mikan.

"Sorry sis~!" Mikan cooed "We got carried away in our battle~"

"Osha…" Her Oshawott, Bubble cried gently in agreement.

"I'm very sorry Sora" Haru sighed "But Mom is in a good mood and she said she'd clean up any mess we made"

"Oh… alright then, but that TV better not be broken" Sora laughed "And speaking of Aunt Ami, I have something to ask you two~"

She walked over to the two other girls and told them both what she, Cheren and Bianca had discussed about a journey.

"It sounds like fun~" Mikan giggled "I agree and Bubble agrees too, don't we?"

The small creature nodded its head in agreement to his trainer.

"I agree as well, it does sound like fun" Haru grinned "It would give us a chance to see new things."

The three girls smiled at each other before all nodding their head's and heading down the steps to see Ami. Sora and Mikan both looked at Haru, telling her to start their conversation just by looking at her.

"Hey… Mom?" She asked hesitantly. "We'd… like to ask you something, if that's alright"

"Sure honey, what is it?" She replied, looking up from her magazine she was reading.

Haru looked at Sora, telling her to ask the next question. She glared at her cousin but nodded her head.

"You see Aunt Ami… We were thinking about how cool it was that we got Pokémon now and how they are so small yet strong and-"

Sora was cut off by Mikan, who covered her mouth with her hand.

"You're taking a long time~ we just want to travel with our cute partners' right? No trouble~" She said childishly.

Ami frowned at the three and then her expression softened.

"Always straight to the point, huh Mikan?" She muttered softly. Mikan looked confused. "of course you want to go on a journey, all teens do I guess…"

"M-mom…" Haru started but her mother raised her hand.

"You're brother left and now you are leaving huh?" She sighed to herself.

"You… You mean?" Sora gasped. "We can… go?"

Ami smiled "Yes, if you go together I don't see how you could get hurt."

The teens grinned at each other, coming together to hug their unexpecting guardian who just laughed until they got off her.

"I'm guessing Cheren and Bianca went to ask as well, am I right?" She asked.

Sora nodded, her grin stretching across her face. Ami laughed again.

"I expected this you know, when Professor Juniper called you three over as well as the other two. So I packed you three bags just in case it did turn out right."

She walked over to the cabinet in their kitchen and pulled out three trainer bags with areas sectioned off for specific items. They were already packed with several potions as well as ordinary clothes, food and other essentials. Ami handed Sora the black one, the red one was given to Mikan and Haru took the brown one.

"Alright then, you all have your Xtranceiver's right?" She asked the three who all nodded. "Okay then, off you go~ on you journeys together"

Ami sighed and laughed to herself. "Ah, you've all grown up…"

The four females hugged once more before the three teens left the house in order to meet up with their other two friends.

"Cheren!" Sora called over to the tree they were next to during their battle, waving at him.

He waved back at the girls "So you we're allowed I'm guessing?"

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be here" Haru laughed.

Mikan blinked several times, her hands free as Bubble was in his pokeball. She looked at Cheren and then behind her.

"Where's Bianca?" She asked quietly. "She isn't here, is she?"

"No, not yet." Cheren replied "Probably asking her parents still… Her father could be a little hard to convince"

"I'll go see then~" Mikan muttered giddily and before anybody could stop her, she had already skipped towards the girl in question's house.

Knocking quickly on the door, Bianca's mother opened the door. She smiled weakly at Mikan before leading her into the house. Mikan was silent as she heard Bianca's father shouting and Bianca replying to him without much force but plenty of determination.

"You will not be a trainer!" He told her angrily "You are my daughter and I will decide for you!"

"No Daddy, I decide what I want to do and I'm going on a journey with my friends!" She replied, opening the door into the hallway that Mikan stood in.

Bianca smiled at both her mother and Mikan before taking the trainer bag her mother held and leaving the house quickly with her friend.

"Don't worry, Mom told me I could go" Bianca sighed "I'm sure this journey will be good for me, it will help me decide what I want to do with my life"

"I'm sure it will~" Mikan replied happily as the two returned to where their friends were.

"Hey Bianca, you're allowed leave as well?" Sora called as they arrived.

Bianca and Mikan looked at each other and smiled before she nodded "Yup, of course"

"Great, that means we can all leave together" Haru sighed in content.

The five of them all smiled at one another before all heading towards the path of Route 1.

"Stop, don't leave yet!" A voice stopped them.

They turned around and saw the Professor herself standing and waving at them from her lab's door. The group all shrugged and ran over to her and into her lab as she directed them over to a desk near the one where the remaining pokeball sat.

"I completely forgot to give you these" She chuckled, opening a drawer and pulling out what looked like five red miniature computers. "See, these are what I want you to do for me… They are called Pokedexes or Pokedex"

"You mean the Pokémon encyclopaedia?" Cheren asked her.

"That is it Cheren, as well informed as always" She laughed "Anyway you five, I want you each to take a Pokedex and use them to fill the pages of all the Unova Pokémon to help my research"

"How do we do that?" Bianca asked in a confused tone.

"It's simple actually, when you encounter a Pokémon it is automatically recorded in the Pokedex and it tells you all the information you need on it" She explained "It also tells you the stats of your Pokémon as well as the moves it knows, which may be useful for when you catch a new Pokémon for your team"

"Alright, we'll help you Professor" Sora said earnestly, answering for everyone who nodded.

"Thank you all, this will be a great help!" She replied happily.

Each of the new trainers accepted the Pokedex they were given and each of them thanked the Professor before leaving the lab.

"Phew, we're finally ready to leave huh?" Cheren asked.

"Yay, let's all go to Route 1 and take our first steps together~" Bianca laughed.

"Yeah, that's a good idea~" Mikan agreed.

Cheren, Sora and Haru looked at each other before sighing in defeat and following the two giggling girls as they waited exactly a step away from the Route 1 pathway.

"Are you all lined up, you guys?" Bianca asked looking at her friends.

"Yeah" They all replied.

"Okay then…" Bianca started. "One…"

"Two…" Sora continued.

"Three~" Mikan giggled before they all stepped onto the Route at the same time.

Mikan and Bianca giggled together as they clasped hands, Haru and Cheren both grinned and laughed while Sora glanced at Boa who had stayed silent this entire time on her shoulder.

"Ready to go then?" She asked him.

"Hmph… Always have been stupid trainer, no need to ask" He replied lazily.

Sora just frowned and joined the rest of her friends who had already begun to head down the path without her. She laughed as she jumped onto Cheren's back and he flinched, startled.

Boa just sighed "Humans… Why do we bother?"

He glanced at the rest of the trainers before smirking and closing his eyes for another nap on Sora's shoulder.


There is chapter two, sorry about Tepig/Pokabu mix-up. I'm so used to the Japanese names. Hope you enjoyed it; next one will be up soon enough.
