Hey it's PlasmaRiolu467 and I would like to say thanks for the reviews and I will be updating more often now as well.
I thank Pure Gamer for pointing out how long my chapters were the main point of this was because it was the introduction. Don't worry guys the chapters will be a lot shorter now!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or Nintendo but I do own Blade Star.
Last time on B.L.A.D.E:
Riley: I am your tutor for the next two years.
Riolu: That Steelix is strong. But it's weakened, we can still do this!
Eric: You are my new rival!
Mary: We are so glad to have you back with us!
Blade: How hard can this be?
David: This will boost you stamina, speed and endurance.
Ms Watson: Welcome to the Trainer School Pokémon Battle Tournament!
Paul: Impossible…
Rowan: I think we should give him his starter pokémon now.
Byron: Blade, congratulations on your win!
Blade's POV:
After I had gotten my first gym badge, it was clearly the start of my journey. I was walking the path away from my hometown to the docks where I was heading to Jubilife City. From there I would head to Oreburgh City for my 2nd Gym Badge. I tilt my head over to see my Riolu tap me lightly on my shoulder.
"What's the matter Riolu?" I ask him in a comforting tone. He looks at me snidely before asking me if I knew where I was going.
"Of course I know where I'm going! I shout at him. I'm not stupid?"
He just laughs at me and replies, "Well you do have a LONG history of being stupid."
We would always have arguments like this and we both would end up laughing. That was because Riolu was my best friend and somebody I could always talk to. Eventually, we ended up at the docks where I purchased my ticket and got on the ferry that was heading towards Jubilife. Sadly, there wasn't anywhere for the pokémon to train. So I went to a nearby café so me and my pokémon could relax.
Riolu's POV:
I would really want to know if there were any more humans like Blade. He was kind. He was forgiving and he was a great person to be around. I wonder how Chimchar feel at the moment.
"Alright! Who wants lunch?" Blade said before releasing Chimchar out of its Pokéball. I didn't do anything but my stomach disagreed with me. Both my trainer and Chimchar laughed. We both walked to a nearby pokémon restaurant where we ordered a meal for three. I sat down at a nearby table with the Chimp Pokémon whilst waiting for Blade to get our meal.
"Hello there! My name is Riolu are you ok?" I say to him cheerfully whilst I had this urge to scratch my left ear. It's a bad habit but I have been doing it nearly my whole life.
"Umm hi," Chimchar timidly replied. "Is that guy a good person?" I could tell that he was nervous but that's new for a brand new pokémon right?
"Now don't worry, Blade is the kindest person I have ever known!" I shout and I also jump in the air.
"Ok, I guess I feel better now, you were really cool in that battle against that Wormadam." Chimchar praised.
Normal POV:
At that moment, Blade had returned with the meal which was 12 Pidgey Wings, a small bag of chips and rice dumplings. Riolu had scoffed most of the rice dumplings down his throat whilst Chimchar quietly ate the Pidgey wings. Blade had then grabbed the remaining rice dumplings and scoffed the rest down his mouth. Riolu stared at him snidely again and Chimchar couldn't stop wondering how he could fit so many in his mouth.
"Mmmmm!" Blade muffled. "Mmmmmmmmmmm! MmmMmmmmumph!"
Blade's POV:
I barely could speak with all those rice dumplings clustered within my mouth. But Riolu wouldn't stop giving me that look when I do something stupid and Chimchar couldn't stop staring at me. I finally managed to finish eating the dumplings and say, "Did you all enjoy your food?"
"Yeah! But you are way too desperate for rice dumplings." Riolu cheekily remarked.
"Chimmmcharrrarar!" (It was delicious, thanks Blade!)
"You're welcome, anything for my pokémon!" I say without realising that Chimchar doesn't know I can understand pokémon speech. He took it lightly as if it didn't even affect him at all. Eventually, the mega-horn had sounded that we had arrived in Jubilife City.
We had slowly gotten off the boats and had made our way into the big city. It was thriving with the business life, shopping life and basically any life that was busy. It was nothing like the quaint little town of Canalave where there was more peace than there was. The hustle, bustle city life was going to be hard to get used to for me. There were massive skyscrapers, towns and every building had looked like a city for me alone; never mind the 100 more! The only buildings that I could recognise were the Pokémon Centre, PokéMart, the Trainer School and the Pokétch Company building. Then my Pokédex started ringing.
"Hello, who is it?" I said before realising I have only one contact.
"Hey Blade, how's your journey going?" David asked. It was obviously my father.
"Pretty good, I'm at Jubilife City at the moment," I replied.
"Right, there is a Pokétch Coupon in your bag, go to the building and show the manager that coupon and he will give you a Pokétch," David remarked. "I suggest you go now before it actually opens."
"Ok, thanks Dad bye," I hurriedly answered. I always wanted a Pokétch and I'm not going to waste this opportunity now. I rush to the Pokétch building before it becomes crowded. I was too late for that as a swarm came and blocked the passageways of the building.
"Once again, you are too late," Riolu sneered. "There are thousands of people!"
"Thanks again Riolu for stating the obvious," Blade replied.
Normal POV:
In the line of thousands, there were anxious, curious and impatient people waiting to receive their own Pokétch. The only problem was that they all didn't have a coupon unlike Blade did.
"If you have a coupon, please step forward to receive your free Pokétch," the speakerphone sounded.
Blade, after immediately hearing it, rushed over with his coupon in hand to the desk.
"Excuse me, can I collect a Pokétch I have a coupon," Blade asked whilst handing over his coupon. The receptionist accepted his token before taking him into a room.
"Follow me," she replied before they both entered a room. Inside it had various stalls containing different Pokétch designs. She had taken Blade to the checkout where he received a Pokétch. It matched the exact same clothes that he had on.
"I finally received my Pokétch!" Blade shouted out loud whilst startling some of the other customers. "Thank you so much!"
"No need to shout you know," Riolu clearly pointed out before laughing at him.
"Way to kill the moment, now we should buy some supplies before we head out to Oreburgh City." Blade replied. "Let's go."
Both Blade and Riolu had set out of the Pokétch Company building towards the PokéMart to buy some supplies. Why a super potion cost $50 PokéMoney he had NO idea. He had used his money to buy all of the basic equipment needed for survival from an easy-to-make tent to a navy blue sleeping bag. All of it together had come up to about nearly $8,000 PokéMoney. Probably because all the products were PokéProof…
"How much for all this?" Blade stammered in shock before looking at the Emanation Pokémon suffocating in laughter.
"That will be $7,650 PokéMoney," the impatient clerk repeated for about the 3rd time. "Now are you buying or not!"
"Fine, here's the money," Blade said whilst handing over the money to him. He sighed before fitting all the items in his multi-compartment bag. "Come on Riolu lets go."
Blade's POV:
I never realised exactly how heavier the bag was with all the equipment in it. Due to the training at Iron Island, I had managed to get used to the weight where it wouldn't slow me down. Now we both had set out towards Route 203 which takes us to the next town. However we had started to hear a small commotion.
"Staravia use Aerial Ace!" One voice had yelled.
"Eevee try to dodge it please." Another voice said but in a quieter and softer tone.
The Evolution Pokémon had failed to dodge it and was unable to battle and driven into a state of unconsciousness.
"Your pokémon is pathetic, you are better off getting rid of it now; give it to me!" the louder voice boomed. "You don't have the skill to have that pokémon, give it now!"
"Riolu, let's go check it out." I whispered.
The kid that had lost looked about 8 years of age. His face was covered in tears. His Eevee was battered and bruised with scars all over its body. It was in a state of mangled unconsciousness. The other kid looked about 11 had taken the Pokéball away from the younger boy. He tried to get it back but had struggled against the other boy before getting pushed in a tree. Both Blade and Riolu stared in absolute shock. How could somebody take advantage of others like that?
"GIVE ME THAT POKÉMON NOW!" The older kid angrily shouted.
"He won't be giving you anything," I snidely replied before stepping out of the bushes face-to-face with the kid.
"Forget it. I don't deserve the friendship of this Pokémon,"
"What?" I stammered in surprise.
"After everything me and my Eevee had done, we haven't gotten stronger at all," the younger kid squealed. "I've just embarrassed Eevee and made him look like a complete fool; I don't deserve him as a friend,"
"Finally coming to your senses," the older kid snickered. "Now give the pokémon to me!"
The younger boy had slowly gotten up. He had started to walk away. He left his pokémon behind. He only muttered 2 words:
"Goodbye Eevee," he quietly whispered.
I only quietly watched as the sombre-looking boy disappeared from sight. He looked back at the older boy who looked satisfied over the situation.
"You thought you could be brave didn't you," the older kid smirked. "I bet you don't even deserve that Riolu you have right there!"
Normal POV:
"2v2," Blade replied. "And I bet you won't even last 5 minutes!"
"Whatever you say; go Graveler!" he shouted before releasing a boulder-looking Pokémon with 4 arms to the field.
"What's that pokémon?" Blade wondered.
Name: Graveler NO.075
Known as: The Rock Pokémon
Type: Rock, Ground
Evolution Chart: Geodude, Graveler, Golem
It rolls on mountain paths to move. Once it gains momentum, no pokémon can stop it without difficulty.
"Go, Chimchar!" Blade shouted. "Time to do this!"
"You really think your puny Chimchar can defeat me?" he spat. "Graveler, use Rollout!"
"Chimchar, dodge and use Dig!"
The Rock Pokémon had rolled straight for Chimchar but it had managed to burrow itself in a hole escaping the attack.
"Grrrrr, where did it go?" the other kid growled
"Now Chimchar, strike from underground!"
The Chimp Pokémon had attacked from underground surprising the Graveler before landing on its feet.
The Eevee had regained consciousness during the start of the battle. At the same time, it was watching Blade battle. It had a sparkle in its eyes. It was asif it was staring with admiration at the battle.
"Get yourself together Graveler!" the kid roared. "Now use Rock Throw!"
"Chimchar circle around the boulder using Flame Wheel and charge into Graveler!" Blade shouted with a smirk on his face.
The Chimp Pokémon engulfed itself in flames whilst rolling across the floor. At the same it had dodged the incoming rock Graveler and charged straight for it.
"Grrrr," he grumbled. "No more playing games; use Self-Destruct!"
The Graveler had started to pull a confused face before exploding in front of the Chimchar. However, it was a 'double-edged sword' as the Graveler was unable to continue. The power of Self-Destruct knocked Chimchar back about 10ft. At the same time, it had knocked the awakened Eevee that was currently gaining consciousness towards Blade's direction.
"Why did you use that move?" Blade shouted. "You could have seriously hurt Graveler!" "Did you forget about Eevee as well?"
The Evolution Pokémon had staggered at Blade's feet before dropping back into unconsciousness.
Blade's POV:
This guy was just awful. He bullies a younger trainer to gain his Pokémon and takes complete advantage over them! I noticed the poor Eevee underneath my feet so I picked him up and placed him on my shoulder. I was so busy caring for Eevee; I didn't even notice that Chimchar was barely standing.
"You're good I will admit that," he spoke. "But you will not win! Go, Staravia!"
"Pokédex time!" I sneered.
Name: Staravia NO.397
Known as: The Starling Pokémon
Type: Flying, Normal
Evolution Chart: Starly, Staravia, Staraptor
Recognising their own weaknesses, they always live in groups. When alone, a Staravia cries noisily.
"Chimchar, are you sure you are ok?" I asked but Chimchar gave me a thumbs-up and stood up completely. "Great! Now let's start off with an Ember attack!
"Staravia use Aerial Ace and dodge those embers!"
The Starling Pokémon had dodged all the embers at a blinding speed before attacking the Chimchar.
"C'mon Chimchar you can do this!" I shouted. "Quick, use Flame Wheel!"
"I've had enough, Staravia use Whirlwind!" he smirked upon saying this.
Normal POV:
The strangest thing had just happened. Chimchar was blown high in the air and magically sent it back to its Pokéball. And instead Riolu was dragged out!
"What now?" Riolu sneered. "Is this a battle?"
"What do you think?" Blade replied. "And you say I'm stupid."
"Stop talking to your Pokémon and let's go!" he shouted. "I want to see what this Riolu is made of!"
"Ok then, Riolu stand your ground!" Blade shouted.
"IS that it? Staravia use Brave Bird and take out that Riolu!" he roared.
"Riolu use Teleport and use Quick Kick (Quick Attack + Blaze Kick) and if that hits, follow up with a Bullet Punch!" Blade confidently shouted.
"Quick Kick, what in blazes is that?" he said.
Staravia had plunged down from the sky covered in blue at an attempt to annihilate Riolu but then Riolu had flashed pure green before striking the bird witha fiery kick that hit faster than the human eye could follow. And to top it off, the Emanation Pokémon had sent multiple punches to finish it off. Staravia had endured massive damage and would have survived if it wasn't for Brave Bird's recoil damage.
"YES!" Blade shouted. "We won!"
"I got to admit, good game!" the other boy shouted. "Here, take it."
'Blade Star had received $3450 PokéMoney and Thunderstone.'
"Wait, what's the Thunderstone for?" Blade wondered.
"That's my apology to you, so long…" he quietly whispered before disappearing from sight.
"At least we won right?" Riolu answered after getting up.
"Yeah I guess so." Blade replied. "Now this is your choice because this Eevee is staying with us until we can find its trainer so we can either head straight to Oreburgh City or train."
"I suggest we train first," Riolu answered. "But by looking at Eevee's condition we should head to a Pokémon Centre first."
Jubilife City Pokémon Centre:
It took Blade about 15 minutes to dash to the Pokémon Centre and hand Eevee and its Pokéball. Nurse Joy had come along and had taken Eevee to the OR with Chansey. This was where he got worried due to the fact that he should've just taken it to the Pokémon centre straight away instead of battling. After about another 20 minutes, she had come out and told me that it was just exhaustion and that Eevee would be in top-condition in about 4 days.
"Well at least that gives us time to train," Riolu wondered. "Are we actually bringing Eevee along with us?"
"Yeah and that's because there would be nobody to care for him," Blade sombrely whispered. "Especially his trainer…."
"Instead of thinking about it, let's go train!" Riolu shouted."
Blade was actually really glad we will get the opportunity to train Chimchar. If we did then we would be able to unlock his potential and combine his moves together. Eventually, me and Riolu had headed out to Route 203 where there was a huge field- more than big enough for our training.
"Alright, go Chimchar! It's time for us and Riolu to do some training!" Blade shouted.
"First we're going to show Chimchar how to use combination moves!" Blade shouted. "C'mon Riolu or you will end up missing out!"
The Emanation Pokémon slouched its way to Blade to listen to what he was about to say.
"Alright, Chimchar first try using 2 moves together- use Flame Wheel and Ember at the same time!" Blade asked. He wondered if this would work for the Chimp Pokémon.
Chimchar had engulfed itself in flames and rolled across the floor but at the same time, smaller flares started emitting from the wheel of fire. This shows Blade that the combination worked. That was until Chimchar span out of control into a boulder.
"Well he did pretty well for his first try, right?" Riolu wondered. "But learning the attack wasn't the hard part was it Blade?"
"Of course it was you just don't…" Blade tried to say before Riolu went in his bag and showed him the combination book full of conspiracies and secrets about how to use combo moves.
"HEY! Get out of my bag!" Blade shouted.
Ignoring Blade, Riolu had opened the book to a page with an image with a marked with a Lucario's head. He then pointed to a part of text.
'For a newly caught Pokémon, it is more difficult to name the combination attack and have the Pokémon remember that specific name. A more experienced Pokémon would have less difficulty but mastering the attack is actually the easy part…'
"See, I told you that I was right!" Riolu sneered. "Now what are you going to call the attack?"
"Hmmm, well since its Flame Wheel and Ember out together I might call it Ember Flare that way it has part of each attack in the name so it's easier to remember!" Blade confidently spoke.
"Doubt that would work," Riolu spat. "I guarantee that."
"Let's put it to the test," Blade replied. "Chimchar that attack you just did is called Ember Flare, now use it again!"
Chimchar had successfully remembered the attack but he still had trouble controlling it. He managed to keep himself steady a little longer.
"Great job Chimchar!" Blade shouted. "I told you so Riolu."
"Chiiiimmmmchaarrrr! (Thanks Blade! But I can't control myself well…)
"You're welcome Chimchar and I got an idea to help your control, use Ember Flare at Riolu and its Riolu's job to dodge and your job to hit him!" Blade encouraged. "This will help with accuracy too- at least I think…"
Riolu had only heard part of the conversation and all he could hear was Blade shouting Ember Flare as all he could see was a red wheel approaching him with shooting Embers around it. Eventually he got the idea and ran for its life.
"HAHAHAHAHHA!" Blade laughed ferociously. "No using Teleport either Riolu!"
It had lasted for about 15 minutes where Blade had to catch up with his Pokémon as they were heading towards the forest. Each and every crash and dodge made the training more fun for them both. Even though there was a massive trail of ash and debris on where they were going…
"You'll never catch me!" Chimchar shouted as he continued rolling, bouncing and falling around the place.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that!" Riolu shouted. "Look, there's a boulder watch out!"
The Chimchar had been enjoying himself so much he didn't realise that there was another boulder in front of him.
CRASH!
The Chimp Pokémon went head-first into the boulder and lost control of the combo attack. Eventually, Blade had caught up with them to see where Chimchar was hurt.
"Chimchar, you ok?" Blade asked in worry.
"Chim charr chimm," (Yeah I'm fine I just wasn't concentrating enough.) Chimchar replied.
"And I caught him!" Riolu shouted in glee. "What do we do now?"
"Well we could have a 1v1 training session," Blade wondered. "We have four days to train!"
"Great idea!" said Riolu as he dusted his paws off. "Let's start training!"
And for the next 4 days, Riolu and Chimchar had trained to their hearts content. Chimchar had learnt how to combine two moves together to demonstrate a different effect and how to control them and he also remembered the names of them. The Chimp Pokémon is now working on a Flamethrower version to Ember Flare whilst the Emanation Pokémon is improving its endurance.
"Great job guys!" Blade shouted. "Have a quick 1v1 before we check on Eevee!"
Both Pokémon had bowed in respect before the match before launching into combat. Riolu obviously had the upper advantage but Chimchar wasn't doing so bad either. Speaking of the devil; he had fired a Flamethrower right at the Emanation Pokémon. The match continued with triumphs from each side until Riolu stepped up the playing field by teleporting all over the place dodging and countering every move the Chimp Pokémon makes with Bullet Punch.
"Chimchar, a little tip," Blade wondered. "Try using Ember Flare standing still then Riolu would find it harder to dodge."
The Chimp Pokémon acknowledged Blade's advice and used Ember Flare in a single spot. Riolu had attempted to teleport but the soaring embers from multiple directions struck Riolu head-on.
"Grrrr!" Riolu growled. "Now you asked for it!"
In the end, Chimchar was overconfident and tried to use Flame Wheel to take him down and instead Riolu countered by using an attack with a combination of Teleport, Quick Attack, Bullet Punch and Aura Sphere to take him down. Chimchar was NOT moving…
"Maybe I overdid it?" Riolu sweat-dropped.
"You THINK you overdone it?" Blade sarcastically replied. "C'mon lets go to the Pokémon Centre.
It was a 30 minute walk from the forest to the Pokémon Centre as it was right at the edge of the city. Blade didn't feel the need to run as Chimchar wasn't in any danger.
"Hello and welcome to our Pokémon Centre, what is your business here today?" The Nurse Joy sang happily.
"We are here to see Eevee." Blade replied.
"Okay we will let you through!" Nurse Joy said back to the trainer.
The Eevee was completely healed and sat peacefully but there was another trainer: the same trainer that abandoned her 4 days ago. After the Eevee saw Blade, she had ran over to him and jumped on his shoulder.
"Hello again." The young boy spoke. "Thank you for saving Eevee."
"You're welcome," Blade proudly spoke as the Eevee purred and rubbed her head on Blade's neck.
"But." The boy said. "I personally think she would benefit being with you as I'm not as good as a trainer. I'm sorry but take care of Eevee- she deserves somebody better: somebody like you …"
The boy left Eevee's Pokéball on the side and walked out of sight once again: this time it was for good…
"Hey, WAIT!" Blade shouted to the boy.
"Poor, poor kid," Riolu wondered. "And do you think anybody will notice the damage of the field?"
"What damage?" Blade pondered. "How could we cause damage it was only a bit of training?"
"Stupid, boy." Riolu huffed.
The Eevee on Blade's shoulder walked off and rolled her Pokéball in his direction.
"You want to come with us, Eevee?" Blade said. "One sec, Pokédex."
Name: Eevee NO.133
Known as: The Evolution Pokémon
Type: Normal Type
Ability: Adaptability
Evolution Chart: Eevee; (Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Umbreon, Espeon)
Attacks: Tackle, Quick Attack, Bite, Dig
Its irregularly configured DNA is affected by its surroundings. It evolves if the environment changes.
"Veeeeee!" (Definitely!) Eevee squealed.
"Alright then, welcome to the team!" Blade shouted as the Eevee went inside its Pokéball. "Next stop, Oreburgh City!"
Blade's POV
I think I've done pretty well today. Taught Chimchar some new moves; saved an abandoned Pokémon and gained another teammate: another friend. Now I can finally continue my journey towards Oreburgh City for my 2nd gym badge. With me, Riolu, Chimchar and Eevee- nothing is going to stop us from being the best!
PlasmaRiolu467: Thank you and sorry this chapter took sooo long! Thanks people and remember to review: it encourages me to write faster! R+R
