AWESOME POSSUM YO.
HERE IS A SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME UPDATE!!!
:DDDDDD
Be happy. D Or I eat you. Only not.
Thanks to those who reviewed and encouraged me to write more~~ I've had serious writer's block lately. ]; BUUUUUUUT~~~ Hopefully I can get more chapters out sooner and stuff. Or maybe not. Or I will. Who knows.
My rant: I know Lance isn't in this one, but you can't rush things. D: Especially when you fall off the side of Mt. Silver and get amnesia. I mean, that's gotta suck. Seriously. No, I'm not going for a love triangle. I can't help it if Green and Vivian find each other attractive, it's called being human, and it happens. No, she's not going to be a dragon trainer. Hell. What Vivian does in this chapter is EXACTLY what I did the first time I picked up Red Version. Minus all the awesome details. And I was like, 8? Maybe? Who knows. It was forever and ever ago. xDD
But seriously, guys, don't expect the whole plot line, loop holes, quirks, twists, all the shenanigans to be revealed in the first chapters. It pisses me off when people are like "HEY. YOU DIDN'T EXPLAIN THIS PLOT ELEMENT EARLY ON SO THEREFORE THIS FICTION SUCKS BRAAAAWRRRRGHHH."
No.
It's called good story telling. You don't find out that Gollum ends up destroying the ring in the first five minutes of reading/watching the Lord of the Rings do you? If you did, it wouldn't be a good story. D: (I used LOTR cuz supposedly everyone knows what it is)
-sighs- Okie. I had my rant. I just needed to vent that, cuz some things people say just piss me off. Mostly cuz it's ignorance, or jealousy. Who knows. Who gives a shit. :D I sure don't. I stopped caring a while ago.
ANNNNNNYWAY.
WE HAVE A STORY HERE!!! GET TO IT!
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD I love you all. ^-^o
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Sadly. ;-;

"Haha!! I'm excited!!" I squealed, mostly to myself. I was in my room, which was now essentially bare, my back pack waiting to be zipped up on the table. I was wearing Sambas, which were amazing (and brand new; Green had bought them for me), a pair of black soccer shorts with a green tank top that showed my black sports bra. I didn't care though; it was nice enough outside, being a constant 75 degrees Fahrenheit or so. I had about four different tops, pants, and under garments all shoved into my back pack, along with toiletries. A North Face sleeping bag was shoved tightly into its bag, which was tied to said back pack. I had a First Aid kit, a really small pillow, a coat and boots for when the weather got bad…
I was set.
I double checked everything three times, zipped the bag up, slung it on my shoulders, and almost made it out of the room before I staggered over the weight of my bag.
"Geezum…" I breathed, standing up straight, breathing in and out slowly as a I readjusted the bag so it lay more comfortably on my shoulders. "This is HEAVY…" and it was just going to get heavier, my mind moaned at me. But my determination beat my logic down with it's iron fist of hope (hehe, witty, only not) and I stood up, heaved a big sigh, and made it out the door, ignoring the pain accumulating in my lower back. I made it downstairs without tripping, and I dumped the bag on the sofa in the lounge and headed into the professor's lab, where Green and the professor were waiting for me.
Compared to the recent months I had been here, the lab was quite clean. Nothing was out of place, the wind was blowing gently outside without any window shuddering, no beer cans were to be seen…it was nice. The professor looked pretty normal (as normal as crazy old smart people get), and Green looked…damn.
He looked fine, for lack of a better word. He was wearing a semi loose black t-shirt, with khaki pants. His shirt was halfly tucked in; his belt was visible in the front only not in the back, and he was wearing black, travel worn shoes, and I couldn't tell what kind of shoes they were. He just looked like that "I'm cool because I really don't care what you think" kid, only he was twenty, so I'm not sure how that works…but hey. It did. He also had a back pack, which looked ridiculously old, and rather light, and he had only three Poke balls attached to his belt.
"So Vivian! Are you ready?" Green asked as I walked in, grinning like an idiot.
"I was born ready." I said, and I looked at Oak, who sighed, and turned to the table that had three Poke balls on it. I felt my heart swell as I looked at them; one of them was going to be my first Pokémon.
"So…have you decided which one you want?" Oak asked me, glancing at Green, who had told me just about everything I needed to know and more about Pokémon.
"Yes." I said, feeling as if this was some sort of grand moment.
"Well then, don't mind me, Green will have you taken care of," the professor said, turning back to his desk and he began to rummage through some paperwork, grumbling to himself. I felt highly let down by the professor, but Green patted my shoulder and walked over to the table.
"You liked Charmander, right?" he asked, and I nodded, forgetting about the grumpy old man.
"O-kay then…" he picked the Poke ball in the middle and tossed it to me, which I barely caught. "Open it; meet your first Pokémon." Green had a slight smile on his face, as if he was recollecting his own first meeting. I pressed the button in the middle and the ball flashed open, the light going to the ground to reveal a large lizard standing on it's hind legs, a bright flame burning on it's tail with big, green eyes.
"Char char!!" it said happily, not even coming up to my knees. I blinked at it before resisting the urge to squeal loudly. It looked up at me, narrowed its eyes, and sniffed my outstretched hand. I looked at Green as it did so, and he just shrugged. Thanks Green. I thought sarcastically as I looked back down at the over sized lizard, who was presently picking at my hand with it's tiny claws.
It was inspecting me.
After a few moments of tense silence as the Charmander sniffed me out, it stood in front of me and looked me straight in the eyes. Then it grinned and shook my hand.
"Char char Charmander!!" it said happily, and I took that as it had OK'd me, so I shook it's claw or hand or whatever back and smiled at it.
"Hey there buddy!" I said happily, "We're partners now. Let's do this!" And Charmander nodded its head, hopping up and down.
This was probably the happiest moment in my life that I could remember.
I looked at Green, who was smiling at me.
"What?" I asked, knowing my grin probably couldn't get any bigger.
"Just reminiscing is all." He said before chucking something at me, which hit me in the collar bone, but I managed to catch it as it fell.
"Ow!!" I whined, rubbing my collar bone as I glared at him before looking at the red object in my hand.
"It's a Pokedex." Green said, looking back at the table and grabbing a few more things (probably to throw at me). "It's not hard to use, so if you can't figure it out I reserve the right to call you a retard until the day you die." I stared at him.
"Really?"
"Really."
I wanted to throw something at him.
Anyway.
"And here…" he actually came over and held out five tiny Poke balls for me to take, "Here we have five empty Poke balls to get you started." I took the small objects and examined the shiny round objects in my hand before Green pulled a small, brightly wrapped package out from behind his back. "Open it." He demanded, shoving it at me. I took it from him and stuck my tongue out at him before turning to the side to begin tearing the paper apart.
"NO WAY." I breathed, after successfully destroying the box and the paper to reveal the goodies inside. "No freaking way. This is awesome."
"The Poke nav is from Gramps. The iPod is my own contribution." I looked at Green, eyes shining, feeling like I was about to explode from all the good feelings inside. He had a slight pink tinge on his cheeks as he waited for me to do something.
"I LOVE YOU PEOPLE." I said loudly before grabbing Green and hugging the crap out of the poor guy. "You are amazing Green. You are one of my bestest friends ever."
"I'm also your only friend."
"That can change, you know."
"Sure it can."
"You think I'm incapable of making friends?"
"Who would want to be friends with you?"
"Apparently you."
"I'm friends with you because you live with me." I opened my mouth to respond only to find none. Green smirked and flicked my nose. "I win; again." I just stuck my tongue out at him before shoving the iPod and it's headphones in my pocket; I'd have to find a computer to download lots of illegally downloaded music onto it. I then examined the Poke nav; it was forest green with white, and I flipped it open. I played with it for a few seconds; I already had two numbers in it, Green's and the Professor's, although I'd rather call Green then the grumpy old man. I snapped it shut and took the cord attached to it and slung it over my neck, and I squealed happily before hugging Green again. I smiled happily at Charmander, and I considered hugging Oak.
"Thanks professor!! For everything." I said sincerely, bowing slightly. The professor grunted in response, caught up in whatever he was doing. I sighed and shrugged at Green, who waved it off and motioned for me to follow him into the lounge. I glanced at Charmander, who nodded and walked beside me as I walked after Green into the lounge.
"Grab your gear and let's go." Green said, heading for the door. I just nodded, feeling excitement course through every single nerve in my body. I grabbed the extremely heavy back pack, slung it over my shoulders, and followed Green out the front door, holding onto the bag's straps with both hands and Charmander walking beside me. We walked down the road from Oak's place to the main road heading to Viridian City.
I tried to ignore the pain growing as I carried the two ton back pack.
"I'm going to leave you in Viridian City." Green said suddenly, looking straight ahead. "I don't want to babysit you for your whole journey, and I know you wouldn't like that anyway. Besides, I'm a gym leader. I have responsibilities to think about. And if Gramps finds out and bitches to me about it, well…." He grinned at me. "Not much I can do if I don't know where you are, right?" I looked at him and smiled.
"You are seriously the best friend I am ever going to have."
