CH. 3 The Beginning
It was today, the beginning of the Kalos league and my journey my Pokemon all had hatched shortly after Mudkip in order they were; Mudkip (male) Pancham (female) Diglett (female) Pidgey (male) Deino (female) And Misdreavus (female)
My team is amazing! I began training them, misdreavus was meditating, trying to get in contact with her abilities. Deino was swimming faster each day, doing laps around the pond in the backyard, building stamina. Mudkip was starting to run next to Diglett as digett did laps, diglett was fast, and always worked to be faster and Pidgey was flying faster and faster, he would often do aerial maneuvers through tree branches to improve he dodging. Once a day my pokemon would spar and Mudkip was winning mostly, and could take on two others at a time, I was so proud! I would guess him to be at lvl 8, the others were level fiveish and sparred together, typically Misdreavus was second place, she would often make sure the others didn't get too cocky and made sure they had level heads, and if they retaliated, she would scare them really bad, that set them straight. Pidgey was a prankster, I blamed it on the fact he could fly and bomb others, and could get away with it, well that is until he tried to hit Mudkip, who retaliated, sick of him goofing off or somthing. How he retaliated made me gasp in surprise, mudkip had thrown a whirlpool at Pidgey! That must have hurt because now pidgey worked and when he finished, then he played. Pancham was so cute, she always tried to punch trees to toughen her fists, and always came back pouting at the fact she couldn't splinter it like moms Rhyhorn. I told her to keep at it and she always smiled and gave a very exited "Cham!" and ran off back to training.
I Was proud of my team and we were going to begin our journey today! So as I left my bed, ran to my dresser, and opened it, my Pokemon were all running around me trying to help and wrestling to see who got to do what "Go down and eat" I told them in my quite underused voice, a small smile stretching across my lips as they all squealed and ran down the stairs. well except Mudkip who sat, staring at me quietly, and murmured a "kip?"
" Im fine just…"Thought quietly for a moment "nervous" I Said tossing my hat on my head, It was true I was very nervous, I had no idea what to expect, I hadn't had long to prepare myself for my journey in the new region, that no one had ever been through…. oh boy this was gonna be tough. "Lets go eat, ok Mudkip we wont go far on empty stomachs!" I exclaimed scooping him up and carrying him downstairs
"Kip kip Mud kip.." He murmured dejectedly at me he liked to sit on my hat, not get handled like a baby, but he was just too cute!.
I nodded, and sat him on my head getting a coo of delight as thanks.'Time to go say goodbye to mom, and go' I thought wandering down the stairs sitting at the table and starting to eat, Mom must be out taking care of her Rhyhorn, big day for her too, being the day the racing league started, she was to go off and begin looking for a track for the Kalos championships. SoonI was done eating and mom walked in, dirty from playing with rhyhorn. Mom gently picked up my plate, "Good luck darling, I Know you would like to have gone with Leaf and the others, but work gets in the way, I Hope you at least make new friends here."
I nodded walked to mom and hugged her, whispering "Love you, bye, mom" and walking to the door and recalling all my Pokemon, all but Mudkip who rode on my hat, squeaking its name in delight of the view . It Must be full I thought grabbing my pre-packed poke-bag it was a bag that literally had no end Pokemon food and healing items in one pocket my food and water in another. then my tent and other general things like matches and knives to cook. Then important items like my emergency kit and trainers licence and position recorder that was required for all trainers so if you went missing you could be found. other miscellaneous items went in the tent pocket. I slung my heavy pack onto my pack glad for the system that lightened the cargo, if not for that my bag would weigh more than I and weigh a nice 92 lb girl, I am 5'5 now too I would not have been able to budge it. People generally travel in groups, unless they can afford a pack likes mine, They were very expensive,I was lucky, my mom got one as a make up gift, when a letter from the local professor,. The bag more evenly distributes weight and make it manageable, if just barely my pack was still 45-50 lbs and was going to carry this all the way through my journey… the Kalos region is about 100 square kilometers or 102.5 if you want an exact number was going to travel all that. my work was cut out for me. With that thought I opened my door, cringing at the still above normal light for me to see, two trainers that looked to be arguing, a boy with black hair and cobalt eyes wearing a blue jacket white undershirt and black cargo jeans and a girl wearing pink top, with bows instead of buttons and a pair of blue shorts. they appeared to be arguing about what kind of person I would be, one was saying would be serious like 'Trevor', someone else I did not know and the other was saying would be carefree like her. Both were right in a way. I was serious around most people, but was more fun and carefree around my Pokemon and my mom, occasionally leaf as well. Most people never heard me talk. One of oaks assistants asked if I was mute once, I rewarded him with a slap to the face and a quiet "not at all." I served it with a smile. I was scolded quite harshly but it was worth it, but still i was punished with cleaning the rapidash pens for a month.
And it seemed they finally noticed me, took them all of, about three minutes. I was about to leave them behind, to wonder where I was, honestly. oops my prankster is showing
"Hi there!" The one I figured was Shauna blurted, at least thats what I heard the blazer guy, Cellam, call her, I Waved back mutely
See told you she is serious Shauna…." the one called Cellam said to Shauna
"Ya, whatever Cellam…." she said a bit sadder."We are here to show you to the starter Pokemon.."
" I have mine" I Cut her off showing my six poke balls and pointing at the sleeping Mudkip on my head.
" Whoa that is so COOL" Shauna shouted,I Cringed, way too loud for me, thank you. But how could she know that so i decided i would help her. "sorry but, I have sensitive ears, could you not shout?"
"Oh sorry about that" shauna said more calmly, I appreciated it. she was a nice girl i could tell, just too much energy Well follow me then, we start from route two anyway, we will show ya the way." Cellam explained I nodded not needing to make him feel bad by saying I already knew the way, having ran with my Pokemon there and back every day, Deino we sparred with the wild Pokemon there. mudkip fought some young rhyhorn mom was taming, it was supposed to be something to do in her downtime.
My journey has truly began now' I thought, walking down the street next to the two people that were starting with me, my new rivals...
