Chapter 3 - The Misery of the red flyers

(Day 3)

"sir please wake up, you can't stay here any longer",

Extremely exhausted from his track in the woods James had seeped 'till well past midday,

"there has been a crisis in the forest, And we are converting this place into a temporary ranger station" the ranger manager continued,

"Fine..." James said calmly but reluctantly, not bothering to ask why as he and Azure walked past the billboard and out the door, he knew exactly what the crisis was about, as the door shut behind Azure, he only then realized that he saw that same red flyer on the billboard as all the other places, jiggling the door Handel he realized it was locked. Annoyed at his pot luck he decided that fate was conspiring against him for some reason, every time He saw that red paper something distracted him from it! Dishearten from his bad luck he turned and left, traveling north to pewter city, he was out of the forest and ready for more adventure; namely the Hoenn festival, which had started today, hoenn was one of the two island regions, A lad mass comparable to that of Kanto in size but surrounded by water on all sides, every so often a region promotes tourism for it's region in a another region each year, by showcasing the Pokemon one can catch, games with prizes and genuine oddities found in the region, all James knew is it was being held in pewter city this year, and he was on his way there.

Arriving in pewter city the first thing James noticed was a big sign out the front of the Pokemon center which read, "hoenn festival, register now for your chance to win one of 5 Devon corp.'s new pokedex gauntlet; not yet available, take a flyer and enter at the main plaza in pewter city. runner ups will receive an exclusive Pokemon", at the top corner of the sign James saw a strip of red paper that looked like it had many bits of paper attached to it, there were none left, "Well that explains that then" he muttered walking away. "Come to think of it, I never got a pokedex back with my first Pokemon". Arriving in the main plaza James decided he wanted one of the pokedexs, he had to have one otherwise how would he record his journey?, "Azure, I need you to go find a red piece of paper, so I can register" Azure quickly nodded and ran off to look for one "can we please have your attention, the Devon corp. raffle will be drawn in one hour, entry's must be in with in that time" boomed over the street speakers, **that's not good** he thought, walking up to the raffle booth where he had hoped to find some of the flyers,

"where do you keep the flyers" he asked the man behind the table, "oh.. here and there", perplexed by the mans answer James retorted "and exactly what dose that mean" ,

"it means if you want to enter you have to find one" the man said without looking up from his task. James was determined to get one, but finding an entry form with in an hour may take some effort!, with no time to spear he began to look.

Azure was still in his human illusion looking for a red piece of paper at James's request, he wasn't entirely sure what he was looking for but he wanted to help James for everything he did for him.

"STOP!, you cant take them all!" a voice yelled, it was very far away but Azure had good hearing, he was after all a zorua, running towards the sound he stopped as he turned the corner, there was a girl with long black hair and white T-shirt, fighting with another kid whereing a deep maroon jumper and black trouses, "this is not fair, one per person, that's what they said" the girl complained, in the other kid's had was a stack of red papers, exactly what james had requested, the girl grasped for them but the kid recoiled, smacking her hand away, Azure begun to growl at the sight of his actions, changing his illusion to that of James as he stormed over to the two; attempting to grab the flyers from the kids hand,

"what! You too?" he said angrily, Azure was starring right at him, he had black well groomed and short hair and brown eyes that were very menacing, "just goes to show you don't deserve it" he sneered holding the red paper away from them both, "try finding your own before I get them all" he laughed with a smile, azure began to growl again, the boy began to walk away, "he thinks that he will win if less people enter, so he has been steeling as many as he can" the girl said turning to azure, Azure remained silent and began to run after him.

Frustrated his efforts had been for naught James returned to the the raffle booth, he stood there thinking what he should do when without warning a boy with well groomed hair ran around the corner crashing into him, paper fell to the ground as did he, staggering back James grabbed the side of the booth, "what are you doing! Just standing in Tommy's way like that, moron!" the boy scowled as he was hastily picking up the papers, James also picked up a few, he had noticed that it was the very flyer that he saw back at the Pokemon center one town back,

"I'm going to keep this" said James.

"you can't!" The kid retorted, reaching for them "I found it first! and what Tommy finds Tommy keeps!, the prize will be mine!" he taunted; snatching at the flyers in James hand,

"you can't be serious? Tommy refers to himself in the third person?",

" Shut up...hey! How did you get in-front of Tommy anyway?", as James was about to answer... Then 'James' came around the corner...surprised by the look of his own 'reflection' he just just stopped himself. realizing what was going on Azure changed back into his human form, but not before Tommy had witnessed the transformation,

"this is getting way to weird for Tommy, Tommy is out of here" Tommy said before running off, a few minutes latter a girl walked up, it was the same one Azure saw fighting with Tommy, "sorry about Tommy, he is clinically insane at times, he ran all over town stealing those flyers just so he would have less opposition in the raffle, he wouldn't even let his own sister have one",

"I see, and you are?" James replied. "his sister, Sam, and don't call me Samantha if that's what you think its shot for...it is but...just dont" she warned him without warning,

" ...hey you got some from him! Good", Sam continued, James handed her one of the ones he had picked up, they both filled out the forms and handed them in to the booth behind them. He now had one flyer left and the raffle was gonna be drawn soon, Azure was just standing there pretty much being ignored, which gave James an idea, he would fill out this form for azure and get an extra chance at the prize, after filling it out he hands it to Azure, " go hand this in", "the raffle will be drawn in a few short moments" boomed over the street speakers, azure rushed to the booth and handed the man the paper, "your the last one kid" the man said tarring off the bottom of the flyer and placing it in a container to his side, handing azure a small white ticket, "entry's are now closed" the man said into the mike.

10 Minutes later: as the crowd gathered to watch the results of the raffle, all kinds of people and Pokemon gathered around the main stage, a lot of which James and Azure had never seen before. "Welcome folks of all kinds" the man getting up on the stage said, even the obnoxious Tommy had returned, another man had walked up on stage carrying a box, he opened it up and reviled 5 strange objects and left the stage. The announcer picked one up and took the center of the stage, "I am proud to present the Devon corporations pokedex gauntlet, working with the illustrious Prof. Oak who sadly couldn't be here today. by incorporating new holographic technology developed by Prof. Young, this sleek and rare device is our prize today; one of 5 to win" the man put the gauntlet on his left arm and and just touched it, the machine was quiet, few moments later a thin holographic display was hovering over the device attached to his arm, the crowd began talking among themselves, "it has all the basics of the usual pokedex on a convent holographic hard light touch display, and much more, water sealed, shock insulated and all round Pokemon resistant", two people brought the raffle weel up on stage, "now folks, let's begun" he said putting the pokedex back, the announcer grabbed the Handel and spun the wheel ... ,

Reaching inside he picks up a small folded paper, "and our very first winner is: Zane Horse", "wicked!" said Zane as he ran on stage from the far left of the crowd "our second winner is Janet farrow" ,"third we have Peter Yrt", "coming up forth is Azure... No last name here so do we have someone named 'Azure'?" , Azure just stared at James as he had not known about this, even though he had handed the flyer in he didn't know it was for him, "well go on then, go get your prize" gesturing for azure to go up, still confused he stood up with the others to get the prize, "lastly we have Mores Plate, and there we have it folks our five winners of those of who were lucky enough to gather an entry form, for all of you who did not win, form a single line and come get your runner up prize, and be sure to hand in your ticket",

"No-no-no-no- NO! Why didn't Tommy win" Tommy shouted as he pushed his way through the crowd knocking several people down on his way, sam his sister frowned "sigh... What a moron" she exclaimed.

As people were lining up for the runner up prize just for finding a flyer and entering was a rather nice prize, a Pokemon captured by the devon corp. in the hoenn region to promote this event, when it finally came James turn he saw huge cases of small pokeballs to chose from, picking one up and walking away, he pushed the button letting it out, in a flash of light a strange small Pokemon appeared in front of him, it was a small blue and pink Pokemon, Azure who was standing near by was wearing the pokedex, pointing it at the small pokemon it brought up its image as a 3D hologram, "Porygon: the virtual Pokemon, A man-made Pokemon created using advanced scientific means, it dose not require food, only raw electricity to sustain its holographic biology", he was not sure why he got this one, he knew the people at Silph Co. were the ones who invented this pokemon, not devon corp., and silph co. was a kanto based company but that did not matter, he was rather impressed with his rather random luck. he begun thinking of what to call it, everything had to have a name, like Vice before it and Touga his first Pokemon, "how about I name you Beta?" cause your an AI pokemon, he asked the small pokemon, porygon just stat there unresponsive, "Gamma then?, Delta?, well what about Zeta?" after his last suggestion the Porygon tilted its head up at James, "Zeta it is then" he said grinning, but the Porygon just stood there fixated on its new trainer "well return then" James said disappointed, "we'll it couldn't be too bad" Sam said interrupting "you at least got something rare" she continued, "oh.. And what did you get..." James retorted, "just a bug, see ya around" Sam said walking away, "well Azure, we're at a festival, time to do the festive thing, I guess".

After having so much fun at the festival that would only last a week, they retired to the pokemon center, James stared at the 2 pokeballs in his hands, one was Touga's the other was his new scyther's, Vice, he wondered what his new friend would be like, he was certainly aggressive, **perhaps that would play to his advantage** he thought, standing in the lobby he pushed the button on vices pokeball, in a flash of light vice stood there glaring at James, "common now... lets be friends and all that..." he joked tentatively, Vice slammed James with the back of his scythe knocking him Down.
