Me: Hey a reader here's chap.4 for The New HeartGold and SoulSilver. I'm sorry for chap.3 if it was bad, though I think it was bad. Also by the way I'm sorry for not giving you chap.4 so soon after I said I would update this almost every day but while I was typing up this chap. I got writers block an author's worst nightmare.
(Little girl's scream)
Me: The scream will happen a lot in later chaps. especially when someone says writers block (Little girl's scream) and if today's chap is bad don't blame me I had writer's block (Little girl's scream).
June: Marc (turtle) doesn't own Pokémon and today's hint is difference.
Me: Let the story….begin!
"Children it's time to wake up." Jane said as she shook them awake.
"Fuuuahhh. Good morning mom." Ethan woke up drowsily.
"Ahhh, morning." Silver said.
"Hi, Mrs. Gold, good morning." Lyra yawned.
"Ah, Lyra you woke up….and Ethan so wanted to kiss you to wake you up just like in Sleeping Beauty." Jane said.
"WHAT?" Ethan and Lyra said both red in the face from the suggestion.
"I'm sure you two would have liked that." Silver snickered.
"Not Helping!" Ethan and Lyra said in union.
"Anyway I made you guys pancakes so hurry up and get dressed, Lyra you can use my room." Jane went back downstairs.
"So Ethan, aren't you going to kiss Lyra good morning like your mom said." Silver teased.
As soon as he did though, both of his new companions threw pillows at him knocking him down.
"Sorry for my mom Lyra." Ethan apologized.
"N-No it's okay I mean your mom can be weird sometimes." Lyra quickly said.
"So can we forget that happened?" Ethan asked.
"Forget what?" Lyra playfully said.
Both Lyra and Ethan looked into each other's eyes and started to lean closer to each other.
"Aw, you two are having a moment I guess I should leave you guys alone here." Silver teased again.
"Huh?" both blushed as they forgot Silver was there in the room with them.
"I better go-get dressed yeah! See you guys down stairs!" Lyra said flustered.
"So, what happened, last night guys; I heard some noise from upstairs?" Jane questioned the unprepared pre-teens.
"Well-uh you see-"
"We were-uh-"
"There was a thing and-"
They said at the same time each thinking for an excuse to use.
"We…oh we were having a Pokémon battle!" Ethan thought of quickly.
"Yeah we had a Pokémon battle upstairs!"
"There was a mess but we cleaned it up!"
The other two quickly agreed with what Ethan said for it wasn't a total lie or the total truth but instead a mix of both.
"Oh, okay as long as you cleaned up the mess." Jane said.
"So guys we have to go get an egg for Prof. Elm today. Let's hurry up and get it done." Lyra focused on the task they had.
"Lyra, please, tell me again why this freak has to come along with us?" Ethan said.
"Because, pea brain, you guys owe me for saving your lame butts and unfortunately we have to stick together now that the incredibly lame and stupid Team Rocket is after us." Silver insulted Ethan.
"Come on guys stop it we have to go to this Mr. Pokémon's house; Prof. Elm said his house is past Cherrygrove City, and it takes three hours to get there." Lyra tried to stop the two from breaking out in a fight.
"You two should listen to her she's right you know, and please be careful….oh and if you guys see those nice Pokémon that quit Team Rocket that were hear last night, tell them I said hi." Mrs. Gold said.
The three looked at her in surprise at how she knew what happened last night and saw through their half lie and truth.
"You guys will have to get up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over my eyes, about 3:30 a.m. to be exact." Jane giggled.
"Right…" Silver sweat-dropped; "Can we go get this stupid thing over with already?"
"Okay, we should go stop by Prof. Elm's place before we go." Lyra said.
"Right, we need to tell him we're going to go pick up his egg." Ethan said.
"Look there is his house, come on and hurry up you guys." Silver rushed towards the lab.
"Hello, Prof. Elm." they chimed.
"Hi, children." Prof. Elm said.
"We just came here to tell you that we going to get the egg you told us about today, we'll try and get it back to you as soon as we can bye, Professor." Lyra said.
"Okay, I call Mr. Pokémon and tell him you're on your way there, goodbye." Prof. Elm waved them off.
"I just remembered we forgot tell you what a Poke Gear is Silver." Lyra remembered.
"Oh yeah…so what's a Poke Gear?" Silver asked.
"Well a Pokémon Gear, Poke Gear for short, is a device that Pokémon trainers use and there are apps for it we only have one app in ours." Lyra explained.
"We have the phone app which allows us to talk to people's numbers we have registered," Ethan continued, "There is also an app for a map, one for radio and one to customize your Poke Gear."
"The map app gives you an over world map of the Johto region and all the routes, caves, mountains, and towns in Johto as well as some details about the each place." Lyra talked again.
"The radio app gives you a radio that gets stations from a radio tower in Johto. The options app allows you to change the color of your Poke Gear." Ethan finished explaining.
"So that's what these things are," Silver said looking at his Poke Gear. "So this thing can do all of that, huh pretty cool."
"What? Did Silver just say something is cool?" Ethan gasped dramatically.
"Oh my, it's a miracle!" Lyra overdramatically said.
"Ha ha, oh you guys are just hilarious." Silver sarcastically said.
"We know." They simply stated.
"Hey guys look we're finally here, Cherrygrove City!" Lyra cried out.
"Hey, look there's a sign over there." Silver said.
"Yeah, it says: Cherrygrove City The City of Fragrant Flowers." Lyra read out loud.
"Well that explains why we can see flowers for miles." Silver blandly said, "Hey Ethan maybe you can go pick some for Lyra."
"Yeah may…what, huh, uh no way why would I do something like that!" Ethan tried to make up for the slip.
"Yeah why would Ethan do something like that it's silly we're just friends." Lyra laughed awkwardly, clearly blushing.
"Come on, Totodile let's leave these two love birds behind before I have to puke." Silver sneered.
Before Silver could even take five steps an old man appeared with a kind and friendly smile on his face, wearing a blue shirt and old brown pants, and had a cane.
"Hello children are you all new in town?" he asked.
"Yeah, what's it to you old man." Silver rudely said.
"Well…I'm known as the guide gent and….have some respect for your elders!" the guide gent hit Silver upside his head with the cane.
"Ow, watch it that thing hurts!" Silver yelped.
"Anyway I'm this town's guide gent and I have lived in this town for a long, long time and-"
"Yeah I'll bet." Silver deadpanned.
"Don't interrupt me when I talking, you fresh wiper-snapper!" the guide gent hit him with crane again.
"Ouch!" Silver rubbed his head.
"As I was saying I show people who aren't familiar with this town around since I know everything about and where everything is, in Cherrygrove City. Would you all like me to show you around?" he finished.
"Sure that would be great, thanks." Ethan said.
"Okay follow me young ones." He led the group to a building with a blue and a tall sign that spun near it. "This building is called a Poke Mart it's where trainers like-wait where's the other one, that rude boy."
"I-right-over- here." Silver gasped for air. "For an old man you sure do run fast."
"That's because I'm wearing my running shoes these other two are wearing theirs, now where is yours?" he asked.
"I don't have any."
"We'll that's a shame, we'll try a slow down for you, slowpoke." The guide gent snickered.
"Gee, thanks." Silver deadpanned.
"Don't get smart with me." The guide gent warned, "Trainers like you come here to buy or sell items. The items they sell here can be quite helpful on one's journey." He continued.
Soon they went east until they came upon a building with an orange roof.
"This is a Pokémon Center trainers come here when ever their Pokémon are injured or sick, the nice lady behind the front desk is always happy to help heal your Pokémon, free of charge of course."
Next they went more Eastward and then south until they came to the beach.
"This is Cherrygrove's beach in the water many water type Pokémon can be found there and just a little away there's an island that is perfect for fishing."
Then they went south then Westward then southwest until they came upon a house.
"Finally this is my home and that concludes the tour, here I have some gifts for you three. These are map apps for your Poke Gear one for each of you."
"Thank you so much!" Lyra said.
"Yeah, thank you sir!" Ethan said with the same kind of enthusiasm.
"Thanks." Silver said simply.
The guide gent went into his house and the trio went on their merry way to Route 30.
"Finally we are away from that old coot-ow what the-" Silver was hit with something.
"I'm not an old coot!" the guide gent called out.
"Did you just throw a pair of shoes at me?" Silver questioned.
"Yeah, I did they're yours to keep don't worry their new." He said as he went back inside.
"Ugh, crazy old man." Silver huffed.
"Yeah, but at least you now have running shoes, now." said Lyra.
"Yeah, whatever."
"You know I really liked that old man, he seems really nice to me and Lyra at east." Ethan smiled at how Silver was scowling him.
"Ah, shut it dork." Silver scowled.
"So is this the path that will take us to Mr. Pokémon's house?" Silver asked.
"Yeah Route 30, hey let's see what the map app has to say about this route!" Ethan suggested and turned to the map app on his Poke Gear. "Route 30 a grassy path where trainers can battle each other." Ethan read the description.
"Look over there I think I see some trainers battling over there one's using a Pidgey and the other's using a Rattata." Lyra told them.
"I think I see a house over here maybe it's that Mr. Pokémon guy's house, let's check it out." Ethan ran to the house.
"Hello is anybody home?" Ethan knocked on the door.
"Yes, please come in." a man about in his twenty's open the door and let them. "Hi, so what do you kid's want? Wait you're looking for Mr. Pokémon's house aren't you everybody who comes this way usually mistakes my house for his." He sadly said.
"Guys maybe we should lie and tell him we came to visit him, I mean look how sad he is." Lyra whispered.
"Yeah, maybe we should." Ethan whispered as well.
"No, we came here to see you." Silver lied.
"Really? You really mean that?" the man hoped.
"Yeah!" they said in union.
"Thank you as a gift I'll each give you a Apricorn Box they can be used to store Apricorns which are found all over Johto; there's a man in Azalea Town named Kurt that can turn them into custom Poke Balls." He told them.
"Thank you!"
"So I guess we have to keep looking until we find Mr. Pokémon's house." Ethan walked towards the door, "See ya."
"If you're looking for Mr. Pokémon's house its north of here and here take some green Apricorns from my patch outside." The man waved the children goodbye.
"So here we are at the right house now let's see if Mr. Pokémon is home." Lyra knocked on the door until a man with a fedora hat, and a suit opened the door.
"Hello, children please come in, come in." The man said.
"Hi, are you perhaps Mr. Pokémon?" Lyra asked.
"Why yes, yes I am and you three must be the children Prof. Elm told me were coming to pick up the eggs, I told him about."
"Eggs? I thought there was one egg we had to get?" Ethan questioned.
"Yes, there was one but now there are three eggs the other two came late last night."
"Who are you talking to John?" asked a man with somewhat grey hair, wearing a purple shirt, brown pants and a Lab coat.
"I talking to these kids right here Sam my old friend, they came to pick up the eggs I was telling you about."
"Ah, yes. Hello there my name is Prof. Oak; I research how Pokémon and humans interact with each other."
"Sam here also gives out starter Pokémon to trainers beginning their journey in Kanto." said Mr. Pokémon.
"So I see how close you guys are with your Pokémon here, hmm would you guys like to do me a favor, I would like you to fill up this Pokedex it has pre recorded information on Pokémon I want you three to use it to find out how many Pokémon are in the Johto region and here's my Poke Gear number. Call me whenever you want your Pokedex evaluated. Now excuse me I have to go I have something to do in Goldenrod City. Bye-bye." Prof. Oak exited the house.
"Bye Prof. Oak and thank you we'll try our best." Lyra called off into the distance.
"Bye Prof. Oak take care." Ethan waved goodbye.
"See ya later, I guess." Silver blandly said.
"Now you three should hurry back home and give the eggs to Prof. Elm." Mr. Pokémon said.
"Yes sir goodbye." They said as they walked out the door.
"Cool we got our very own Pokedexes I'm gonna try mine's out." Ethan excitedly said as he pointed the Pokedex to Quil (Cyndaquil).
"Cyndaquil: The Fire Mouse Pokémon. It usually stays hunched over. It is timid, and always curls it's self up in a ball. If attacked, it flares up its back for protection. If it is angry or surprised, it shoots flames out of its back." The Pokedex chirped.
"Awesome, okay return, Quil and come on out Furry (Sentret)." Ethan switched his Pokémon.
Sentret: The Scout Pokémon. A very cautious Pokémon, it raises itself up using its tail to get a better view of its surroundings. It stands on its tail so it can see a long way. If it spots and enemy, it cries loudly to warn its kind." The machine chirped again.
"Okay now we should get back home to Prof. Elm's so we can give him these eggs." Lyra reasoned.
"Yeah I don't want this thing to hatch and think I'm its parent." Silver stated.
"Yeah we wouldn't any Pokémon to suffer." Ethan quipped, "OW!" Silver stepped on Ethan's foot.
"Oops, my foot slipped." Silver smirked.
"Why you no-good punk!" Ethan snarled.
"Guys stop it am I going to have to stop you two every time you get into an argument!" Lyra pushed the two away from each other.
"Yes!" they angrily exclaimed.
"Ugh, boys." Lyra face-palmed.
"Ah so these are the eggs Mr. Pokémon told me about." Prof. Elm examined each egg carefully, "Wow these are the eggs of rare Pokémon!"
"Thanks for bringing them to me….oh is that a Pokedex you all have?" he asked them.
"Yeah Prof. Oak gave them to us to complete." Ethan answered.
"Good you all maybe you should take the Johto league challenge."
"And what prey-tell is the Johto league challenge?" Silver deadpanned.
"The Johto league challenge is when trainers travel all around Johto collecting gym badges by defeating gym leaders in various towns. Gym leaders are very tough trainers that usually specialize in a specific Pokémon type. After you have gotten all eight badges you can challenge the elite four the strongest in all of Johto and then you can challenge the champion and if you should defeat them you will become champion of the Johto region." Elm said.
"You what, I think I'll take the Johto league challenge." Lyra said.
"Yeah, me too!" Ethan excitedly shouted.
"I guess I'll enter too, since I got nothing better to do." Silver blandly said.
"Do you ever get excited about anything?" Ethan complained.
"No."
"Hey, Ethan do you umm maybe want to uh travel together on a journey?" Lyra blushed.
"Um sure Lyra." Ethan blushed as well.
"Oh and Silver you can come to." Lyra stopped blushing.
"Fine, whatever."
"Aw, Lyra does he have to come?" Ethan complained again.
"Yes, because you two are still weak and pathetic and need someone who's a good battler with you." Silver said.
"Anyway we won't just be friends any more we will all be rivals as well." Lyra said getting pumped, "Which reminds me I never did battle you, Silver how about a battle after me and Ethan tell our families we're we are going."
"Sure and I'm not your friend as far as I'm concerned your just an acquaintance and Ethan's some annoying kid I unfortunately met." Silver scowled.
"Hey, who are you calling 'some annoying kid'?" Ethan angrily asked.
"Oh I'm sorry that's a compliment you're some annoying, idiotic, weak, and pathetic kid I unfortunately met." Silver sneered.
"Did I really just invite these two to go traveling with me, alone? This is going to be a long, long journey." Lyra asked herself and sighed.
Me: So how was chap.4 again sorry I took so long to give you this chap I had other businesses to attend and then there was the 4th of July and I went to the movies. I saw Super 8 it was very good. Also the difference in the story is instead of one egg they get three and none of them is a Togepi egg. What are they you ask well you have to wait and find out. Mostly because I still deciding what Pokémon should hatch from the eggs.
June: I feel bad for the guy who gave you the Apricorn box because lots of People probably came to his house thinking its Mr. Pokémon's house. Also Ethan's mom, Jane, cannot be tricked easily and is weird even for a parent. The Pokedex entries for Cyndaquil and Sentret are from the Pokedex entries for HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Me: Also the title for the chap. Gifts, Feelings and Embarrassment is perfect since they got a lot of gifts in this chap. the eggs, the Pokedexes, the Apricorn Boxes, and the map apps. Ethan's and Lyra's feelings for each other are starting to appear along with embarrassment from Ethan's mom and Silver. Also remember kids always respect your elders especially the ones with canes. Unfortunately for Silver he learned that the hard way.
Review please!
