Hold on. More than two people have read my fic. What?
Chapter 6. Why is Yuu going to Johto? Okay, I plan things, but I get side tracked. That's why.
I'll probably bring things in from the games, as well as the manga, so you might not get some of the things I write. Not the anime though, because I've barely watched any of the recent episodes. I've watched all of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn though. But I was like 7 then, so I forgot everything.
Italics for psychic talking, I don't own pokemon, blah blah blah.
This chapter will mainly focus on Yuu. The next chapter may also focus on Yuu, if I don't get as far as I want.
I don't own pokemon.
Yuu: Well no fucking shit. They know that, ya nitwit. You say it every time. I doubt they just skipped to chapter 6.
Yuu's POV
"EHH!?" Rosa exclaimed, turning lots of heads. "Johto!? Wait, what?" I scratched the back of my head sheepishly. "Well, yeah. I mean, it's fine. Pamela can get the badge when I'm gone, and then you two can travel to Castelia." I replied.
"Well, that's certainly true." Pamela said. "It's fine, it'll be two weeks at most. I can catch up." I said. "Besides, it's going to get colder, which will also slow you down."
"Plus, it's apparently urgent, so I should go meet Juniper to get some plane tickets." I said. "I'll be fine, I can whoop Burgh's ass anyday."
"Okay then, I guess this is bye for now." Rosa said. "Don't worry, it's not that long. I'll be back in no time." I said, smiling.
"Au revoir, Yuu. Have a safe trip." Pamela said. "I'll be fine." I said, turning to the pokemon center. "Eh? Why are you going there?" Rosa asked.
"To fly to Nuvema. I'm not going to walk there. That would take way too long. Oh, wait. Lily can teleport." I said, feeling pretty stupid. Then I thought of something I should have thought of earlier.
"Ah, If Team Plasma attacks again, use her, but only when you're backed into a corner. Lily or Jolt should have told her about you. Her name is Ember." I explained.
I took out a pokeball, and gave it to Rosa. "Just don't let her go wild, and you should be fine. And, uh, she's a bit… strange, I guess." With that, I took Lily out of her pokeball, and teleported to Nuvema.
Nuvema
"Oh god, I hate teleporting so much." I said, immediately after we got there. "Make it less nauseous."
"I can't do that master. It feels completely fine for me." Lily said. "That's cause you're a pokemon." I explained. After I recovered, I took a look around.
"Exactly the same as it was when I left. It's kinda creepy." I said. "Is this where master is from?" Lily said. "No, it's not. But I stayed here for a while." I said. "Then where is your house?" Lily asked, looking around.
"House? No, I stayed in a secret cave, under the railing over there." I pointed to the railing that stopped people from falling off. "I need to pick some stuff up from there. Come on, let's go."
I ran into the forest, and jumped off the ledge, and started climbing down the rocky wall. "I don't believe this. Master is doing a physical activity." Lily said in disbelief. "Oh, shut up. I can do lots of things. I just choose not to." I replied.
Man, this brings back memories. I used to do this all the time. "Master? How did you find this cave?" Lily asked.
"Well, the first time I came here, I was leaning on the railing, looking at the view. That part was unstable, so it broke, and I fell over. I sprained my ankle, so I couldn't get back up. I would have called for help, but Juniper was presenting something in her lab, so most people were in there." I explained.
"Then how did you get back up?" Lily asked, now very curious. "Ah, jeez, I'll tell you when I reach the bottom. It's dangerous talking and climbing like this." I replied.
When I was close to the bottom, I jumped off, landing in the sand. A small wave of water wrapped around my feet, then receded. I took a deep breath. It felt nice. The same as the first time I was here.
"So, how did you get back up?" Lily reminded me. "Well, an oshawott found me. That oshawott was Rowena." I replied. "She found me after breaking out of the lab, and got Juniper to help me. She and Jolt were the only ones that knew about the place. And now, you do too."
"After I healed, I went back down, because I dropped my Xtransceiver, and I found the cave. So, I obviously went in, and made it my base." I finished. "Look, I even made a door."
I pointed to the wooden door, that blocked the entrance to the cave. It was really worn, but it was still there.
I walked over, and pushed the door open. Well, that was my intention. I ended up knocking the door over. "Whoops. Oh well, it's my house." I said to myself.
As we entered, Lily gasped. "Master, this place is unexpectedly nice." Lily said, clearly surprised. "Is it. Well, I did spend a year making it look nice. Don't ask too many questions though, it's hard to explain." I replied.
There was a nice light blue and white, striped carpet, and a leather couch, which faced the T.V. A small table was in the middle, and a fridge in the corner. A small shelf was beside the T.V, holding a remote, with a small lamp next to it. The second light source, besides the one light bulb hanging in the middle of the room.
I walked over to the fridge and opened it, looking inside. "Crap, these have all expired. Man, what a waste." I muttered. "Master, does that that T.V even work? I mean, we are underground." Lily asked.
"It does. It's connected to Junipers wires, so that's how I get power to this place. Oh, but don't tell her that." I explained. I pushed the couch about a metre over, revealing a small box, hidden in the wall. "There it is." I said, to no one in particular.
"What's in the box?" Lily asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Exactly what I was hoping." I replied, showing her. In the box, were four miniature masterballs. "Um, Master? Are those…"
"Masterballs. Yep. Four of them. I'll keep two, but I want to give one to Rosa and Pamela. Only when it's right, and they're responsible enough." I said. "Can't have them capture a legend, and screw the balance of the world."
"One, I understand. Two is unlikely, but possible. But FOUR? Now that's just unreasonable. How did you even get those?" Lily asked, fully expecting a serious answer.
"Well, the first, I got from Juniper. Cedric, not Aurea. The second, I stole from Ghetsis. The third was from Alder, and for the fourth, well, I don't know myself. I've had it since I was a kid. People would try buying it, but I would refuse, cause they seemed creepy." I explained.
"So you have no idea about the fourth one?" Lily asked. "Not one. Only a crazy, or an incredibly kindhearted person would give away a masterball." I replied.
"But this, is what I came for." I said, after pocketing three of the masterballs. "What is it?" Lily asked. "Wine. Aged for about forty years. This took almost half my money when I bought it, but It's was totally worth it." I said.
I thought about opening it, but I decided against it. "I'll keep this for when everyone can drink it." I said to myself.
I placed the bottle back down, then moved the couch back. "I got what I came for, so let's go now. Well, after we fix the door."
I got Lily to telepathically lift us up. "That's a lot easier than climbing." I said when we landed. I looked around to see if anyone was watching. Thankfully, nobody was. I headed over to the lab, Lily right next to me.
I knocked on the door and waited. Someone yelled "Come in!" so I opened the door and walked in.
The professor was at her computer, and turned her head to see who it was. "Yuu! So glad you could make it. Come in, would you like some tea?" She asked.
"Next time, could you tell me earlier? You surprised Rosa and Pamela."
"Ah, Pamela. She makes wonderful french desserts. You should get her to make you some. I'd give you some myself, but I ate them all."
"Are they? I guess I'll do that. And yes, I would like some tea. Got any Chai tea?"
We sat down, and drank our tea, our conversation coming to a halt. "When is my flight? I asked. "You leave at twelve, so you have around an hour left." Juniper replied.
"Is Skyla taking me, or a normal plane?" I asked. "You're taking a boat, actually. I know you hate the airports, and checking for your ID, so I tried avoiding that, but you have to if you're crossing a regional border." She explained, while handing me my tickets.
"Well, yeah. I'm supposedly dead. How am I even supposed to get them to believe it's me?" I retorted. "I suppose I could write an explanation to get you pass. Maybe like a helper of sorts. To fill the national dex, perhaps." She pondered. "Yes, I think that will do just fine. Do you have a pen?"
"There's one behind your laptop." Lily pointed out. A pen floated over, into Junipers hands. "Why thank you Lily." she thanked.
She scribbled something onto a paper. "Done. Now, go get them." She said, handing me the note. "Okay, but, what am I even doing?" I asked. "Knowing what seems kinda important."
"You don't know that either? Professor Elm just told me and Alder to find a strong trainer, and bring them there." She replied, a puzzled look on her face.
"So you and Alder chose me." I concluded. "Well, you're possibly the strongest trainer in the region, but only when you get serious. But you never do. Even with Lily, you never let her go all out." She replied. "Am I correct?"
"That's true. Master almost lost once because of this." Lily confirmed. "Master still managed to win, but it was close."
"Lily. Things get scary when I let you guys get serious. That's why I don't let any of you."
"I know, but it's frustrating."
"Someday you won't have to worry about holding back. Might not be soon, but someday."
I looked at the clock. "I better go now. We spent forty-five minutes talking. I don't want to be late." I left the lab and prepared to teleport.
"Hold on!"
I turned back and saw Juniper. "I forgot to tell you that a trainer named Gold will be waiting for you. According to professor Elm, he'll probably be wearing a black cap backwards, with a yellow stripe going down the middle, with a pair of goggle over it. Most likely a red sweatshirt and black and yellow shorts." I nodded, trying to remember all of this.
"And above all, he'll be carrying a pool stick. That, or he'll be all dressed up because you're a girl." She finished. "Okay. I'll probably forget all this, but thanks. I need to go to Castelia, right?" I asked.
She nodded. "Have a safe trip, and be careful." She told me, waving goodbye. I waved back, before the scenery changed.
Castelia City
"Oh god, I feel like crap again." I said, grabbing onto Lily to stabilize myself. "Would you like me to hold you?" Lily offered. "No, I'd rather fall." I replied. "You didn't even consider it." Lily pouted.
We entered the docks. "Lily, you'll have to stay in your pokeball for the trip. Don't want to take up too much space." I explained, tapping her on the head with her pokeball. I decided to head to my boat. I showed them my passport, tickets and Junipers note. The guard seemed suspicious of me, but let me pass.
I boarded the ship and sat down. This'll be a pain in the ass. I wonder how long it will take. Well, whatever. I'll just sleep. I thought, as I lay down, and closed my eyes.
Johto Region. Olivine City.
I woke up to the sound of excited whispers, and people talking. I got up, and noticed the city. "Uh, which city or town is this?" I asked. The person next to me looked at me in surprise.
"You don't know where you were going?" She said, surprised. "Ah, nope. I was just told by Juni… Professor Juniper, to go to Johto to help." I replied, stretching, fully aware people were thinking I'm impolite.
"Well, this is Olivine city, in the Johto region." She said. "Thanks. Oh, by the way, did I miss anything important when I was sleeping?" I asked. "Well, there were some pokemon battles, but that's about it." She responded.
"Well, we're there now. Thanks for helping." I replied. "Wait a second. You did miss lunch and dinner." She remembered. "Wait. I missed two meals? Did nobody try to wake me up?" I asked shocked I missed a meal.
"We did. We slapped you, dropped you on the floor, spray you with icy water, and yelled at you with a megaphone, but you didn't even twitch." She explained. "You guys just had to say food. I probably would have shot to the mess hall." I said, chuckling a bit.
"If we meet again, I'll be sure to try. This may be a bit late, but what's your name?" She asked. "Ah, my bad. It's Yuuka. Yuu for short." I thought for a second. "Hm, I can't remember my last name." I replied, holding out my hand.
"Touko Whitlea." She replied, shaking it. Her name rings a bell, but I don't know why. Well, whatever. "Oh? It seems like we're at the dock. Until next time, Yuu." she said, heading to the unboarding area. It was packed with people.
You know what? Screw this, I'm not waiting. It's a bit high, but I'll be fine. I jumped off the edge of the ship, onto the deck. People just stared at me, and I ignore them. I prepared to release Lily, to help me search for this Gold guy.
"Kyaah! It's Gold!"
"Oh my god! It really is!"
"What!? The champion is here?"
Well, I don't think I'll have a problem finding him. But hearing people's reactions, I don't think I want to meet him
"I'm sorry guys, I'm running an errand for Professor Elm, so could you guys please let me get to the ship. The person I'm meeting is on the ship." He said.
Wow. He looks EXACTLY like he was described. "So black, curly hair about shoulder length, grey eyes, grey shirt, denim shorts and knee socks, possibly with a gardevoir or jolteon." He muttered, looking around to see anyone who fits the description. He spotted me and smiled.
"Found you!" He said, jogging up to me. "You're just like you were described to me, that's kinda weird." he said. "Likewise." I retorted.
"I just have to say one thing. Who are you? Everyone else in other regions were all busy, but you weren't. I've never even heard of you." He said. This guy annoys me somehow.
"I'll be honest. " I started. "I have no clue why I'm even here, so could you explain that first?"
He seemed surprised. "Well, it would probably be better if Professor Elm or Professor Oak told you. I'll take you to Professor Elm's lab."
"Teleporting or flying?" I asked. "Let's teleport. It'll be faster." He said. "Fine." I grumbled. He sent out an alakazam, and we grabbed on. I closed my eyes.
New Bark Town
When I opened my eyes, we were at a small town, similar to nuvema. "This is a nice place. Is that the lab?" I asked, pointing to a building. "Yeah, don't know why it was built in a town like this, but it was." Gold replied.
As we entered, a man noticed and approached. "Ah, welcome Gold, and you are Yuuka, correct?" He said, holding out a hand. "Yep. You can just call me Yuu." I replied, shaking it. Another man walked up and introduced himself as well.
"Hello, my name is Professor Oak. Perhaps you've heard of me?" He said, while extending his hand. "I'm pretty sure everyone knows you." I replied, shaking his hand as well.
"So, why am I here in Johto? No one told me." I asked. "Well, an acquaintance of mine vanished about two years ago. His name is Red, and he was the champion of the Indigo Plateau." Oak started.
"About a year ago, rumors started about an unbeatable trainer at the top of Mount Silver. We want Gold here, who is currently the strongest trainer in Kanto and Johto, to go up and beat this trainer. We believe that the trainer might be Red." Oak continued.
"However, we want Gold to have somebody with him, just in case. We would have gotten Silver or Crys, but they're busy doing other things. We contacted Professor Juniper, as there had been many champion battles in Unova recently. And that's why you're here." He finished.
"Hold on, can I test Yuu first, to see if she's strong enough?" Gold asked. "That would be up to Yuu." replied Elm, looking at me.
"How bout no? You're strong aren't you? Probably strong enough to do this by yourself, I'll just watch." I said. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Red's nickname was The Battler. Out of the dex holders in Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, he excelled at battles. On the other hand, Gold here is good at breeding." Oak explained.
"Hey! I'm still strong enough to be champion!" Gold argued. "Fair enough. But a battle at the peak of Mt. Silver? The conditions there are probably completely different." Oak replied.
"Can't you try to replicate it? Using hail and gust? You can throw in a blizzard too." I asked. "I wish." Oak said. "The conditions wouldn't be as bad as up there."
"But it could he-"
A super menacing growl cut me off. "Gold grabbed his pokeballs and looked around. Oak grabbed one as well. I reached for Lily's pokeball when it dawned on me.
"Ah. That was my stomach." I said sheepishly. They just looked at me.
"Well, I haven't eaten in awhile, so could I have some food?" I asked. "Of course you can. But, Gold's mother's cooking is far better than mine, so you would probably prefer that." Oak said.
My head whipped around to face Gold. "Is this true?" I asked. "Well, mom does cook quite well. Definitely better than Oak though." He replied. "Okay, let's go. Right now. Lead the way."
Gold walked towards a house and opened the door. "Welcome back Gold. Are you tired? Or hungry?" His mom asked. Well, I'm assuming it's his mom.
"Oh! Did you finally get a girlfriend? Your're not cheating on Crys, are you?" She asked, when she noticed me. "ARCEUS NO!" Me and Gold said in perfect sync. "Ugh, it's creepy when people say the same thing as me." I said.
"Anyways mom, this is Yuu. She'll be accompanying me on the trip to Mt. Silver's peak." Gold explained. "Nice to meet you." I said. My stomach released another monstrous growl. "Are you hungry? I can fix something for you, if you'd like." She said. I like her already.
"Thank you ma'am." I said, bowing slightly. "Why the bow?" Asked Gold. "Well, a while back, I read a book. And the people would bow when they met someone or were thanking someone. I tried it a bit, and it sort of just stuck, I guess." I explained.
"Let's go to my room." Gold said, walking towards the stairs. "The food might take a while." I nodded, and followed him.
When I entered his room, the first thing I noticed were the pokemon. They were on the bed, floor, drawers, and some were on top of others. "Woah. That's quite a family you got there." I said.
"Yeah. I love each and every one of them." He replied. One of the pokemon noticed him, and pounced, knocking Gold back slightly. The rest of them followed, knocking him down. A few tried jumping on me, so I sidestepped.
Right into a wall. I stumbled forwards, and looked up to see three of them ambush me, making me fall.
"Bleh. Your pokemon are very mischievous." I said, trying to escape. "Yes they are." He replied. "C'mon guys, get off me." He said struggling to get up.
After they settled down, I decided to ask a couple question. "So, who's Silver and Crys?"
"Hm, Silver was my… rival of sorts. And Crys is short for Crystal. She helped me and Silver out a couple times, and she helps Professor Oak catch pokemon. He explained. "Anything else?"
"Where am I going to sleep?" I asked. "I don't know. We don't have extra rooms, and I doubt you want to sleep in the same room as me." Gold said. "Whelp. I'll just sleep on the lab's roof." I said.
"Wait what?" Gold said. "I'll sleep on the labs roof. I'll be fine, I've slept in worse conditions before." I replied. "If you say so."
"Dinners ready!" Gold's mom called. "Coming!" Gold yelled back. He turned to me and said "Come on, let's go."
By then I was already down the stairs.
Gold's mom was surprised when she saw me. "That was fast. It hasn't even been ten seconds since I told you."
"Don't underestimate my stomach. I'll wake up immediately if someone says food." I said. "Well, here is your dinner. Tell me if you need more." She said.
"Actually, can one of my pokemon have some? He doesn't really like pokemon food." I asked. "Oh, of course! That's not a problem at all." She said. "Now let me see the little guy."
I released Jolt, and just like mine, his stomach released a huge growl. "He's quite hungry, isn't he? I'll fix him something while you eat.
Jolt head perked up, and sat down patiently.
Gold walked down the stairs, and noticed Jolt. "Haven't seen that before. I'm guessing it's yours." He said.
"Yeah, his name's Jolt. Jolt, that's Gold." I said. Jolt barked happily, and finished his meal. Then he jumped on the couch and fell asleep. "Well, I'll take the couch then." I said.
"Sure." Gold replied, sitting down. I finished the last bit of food on my plate, then went to the couch.
"Well, I'll sleep now, I'm tired." I said, plopping myself down next to Jolt. "Night~." I closed my eyes, Jolt snoring slightly, and Gold and his mom's conversation fading away.
Something tells me that I'll have fun in this region.
So I didn't get as far as I hoped. And this is half a month later then I wanted. Well shit.
Whoop de doo.
Next chapter will also probably be on Yuu, but I might also switch the perspectives from Unova to Johto, I don't know. I'll find out when I write it.
See ya.
And yes, I know I used the tilde (~) incorrectly. You can't stop me though.
