The Adventure Saga:
The Beginning with Leaf Green
o.0.o.0.o
Leaf was rudely awoken by the slams of doors outside her room. What was going on? Bleary eyed, she opened her door a crack, and was horrified to see Nurse Joy being roughly shoved down the hall by a group of thugs.
"What are you doing?" Nurse Joy exclaimed as the thugs threw open a nearby door. Not finding anyone, they continued onto the next one.
"Shut up!" cried one thug. Leaf bit her tongue, trying not to gasp as she noticed the insignia on the front. A bright red 'R'. Team Rocket. And they were searching the rooms for trainers. As quickly as she could, Leaf gathered up her things, made up the bed the best she could, and dove under the bed with hopes of not being found.
No sooner than a few seconds, her door slammed open, and Rocket Grunts came in. She held her breath, and shoved her bag into the darkest corner under the bed. If she was going to be captured by some thugs, she may as well spare her pokémon the misery. The grunts moved throughout the room. After reporting that they found nothing, they left.
Releasing the breath she held, she shimmied out from under the bed.
"Outsmarted by a girl in Bulbasaur jammies." she chuckled as she looked at her Blubasaur printed pants and T-shirt with a Bulbasaur head sticking it's tongue out. "Idiots."
"Says the girl who was outsmarted by some 'idiots'!" roared a grunt as he ran out of the bathroom. He pounced, and after a struggle, Leaf found herself sitting on the bed with her hands tied behind her back. The grunt placed his hands on his hips, admiring his work. Then he leaned in close to Leaf, taking the hair by her face in his hands, and rubbing it between his fingers.
"You know, for a teen, you're pretty cute. Maybe they'll let me keep you." Leaf responded by kicking him were it hurts. As he fell to the ground, cradling his privates, Leaf shook her head.
"Like I said. Idiots."
"S-Shut up!" the grunt cried, recovering quicker than Leaf thought he would. "Why are you even here, anyways, huh? Are you a trainer? If so, where's all your stuff?"
"My parents are renovating the house." Leaf sighed, bringing out her best acting skills. "Nurse Joy kindly gave me a place to stay."
He blinked for a moment, as if deciding to accept the information or not. Guessing that he did, the grunt roughly grabbed Leaf and pretty much dragged her down the corridor. They stopped at a room were two grunts were standing guard.
"Hey, this chick is here 'cause her parents are renovating. She's got nothing on her." the grunt said while saluting. Leaf guessed these grunts were higher-ups than the regular grunts. Admins, maybe?
"Just put her with Nurse Joy. Then continue searching rooms."
"Sir!" the grunt said as he saluted. Then he shoved her into the bedroom, where she fell pretty painfully on the floor near Nurse Joy. Leaf sat up, and tried to get into the most comfortable position she could manage.
"Are there any other trainers staying the night?" Leaf immediately asked. Nurse Joy blinked.
"No, you're the only one."
"We need to get back to my room." Leaf lowered her voice to a whisper. "All my pokéballs are under the bed."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but we've gotta get loose first." Leaf said as she glanced around the room, trying to find a somewhat sharp object to cut through the ropes.
"Hey, I think this is the room where..." Nurse Joy trailed off, opening the drawer on the nightstand table with her teeth. "Yes!" she exclaimed quietly. Leaf also looked into the drawer, and saw a pokéball. Through the red, she could make out a Slowking.
"A Slowking." Leaf exclaimed, also quietly, "But why is it here?"
"A trainer abandoned it here. I found it this morning, and meant to take it back to the front desk, but got called in on an emergency. I really don't know how long it's been here, but no one has claimed it yet."
"Poor thing." Leaf said as she stood up, and grabbed at it. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Leaf finally grabbed the pokéball, and managed to press the button. The Slowking looked around somewhat confused at the fact that he was summoned by someone other than his usual trainer. "Hey there, big fella." Leaf said. "Think you could help us out?"
Slowking looked at the two on the floor. He recognized Nurse Joy, but the girl with green eyes was a mystery to him.
"(Yes, I believe I can help you.)" Slowking said as he held his hands behind his back. Leaf blinked.
"Did it-"
"(He. I am male, if you must know.)"
"Okay, sorry," Leaf said. "Did he just talk?"
"It's his psychic abilities." Nurse Joy explained. "Slowking are extremely intelligent, and he is probably speaking to us through the mind."
"(That is correct.)"
"So... do you think you can untie us?"
"(Yes,)" Slowkings eyes glowed green, and Leaf felt the ropes loosen until they fell to the floor. As Leaf rose from the ground, she rubbed away the stiffness in her wrists, and looked at the Slowking.
"Would you mind helping me for a little while longer? We've got some thugs that are holding us here."
"(Certainly.)" Slowking said. He stood there, arms behind his back, awaiting an order.
"Okay, I have a plan." Leaf said as she gestured Nurse Joy and Slowking closer. "And it's going to be good."

"Hey, Team Rocket!" Leaf said as she pounded on the door with her foot. She and Nurse Joy had hidden the ropes under the nightstand, and placed there hands behind their backs, making it look like they were still tied up.
"Shut up!"
"But I need to use the bathroom!"
"Yeah, like we haven't heard that old trick before." snickered one grunt, not opening the door.
"No, I'm serious, I really need to go!"
"Fine then," one of them said. He opened the door, and tossed an old bucket on the floor. It clattered to the ground as Leaf stared at it. She looked back up at the grunts.
"You really can't be serious."
"If you have to go so bad, you really shouldn't mind." smirked the grunt.
"Well, when desperate times call for desperate measures..."
The two men looked flustered for a moment, before turning away.
"If you really are going to go, we will turn away because we are much more gentlemanly then any of the other grunts."
Leaf smirked as the two became surrounded in a light green light, and they were lifted off the ground, quickly to be silenced when their heads were banged together. Slowking stepped from behind the door, a smug smirk on his face.
"That's why they're called old tricks." Leaf said as she got up from the floor. "They always work."
"I think the grunts are planning on raiding the storage center for pokémon that are staying overnight." Nurse Joy said as she got up off the floor.
"The best thing to do right now, though, is to contact the police." Leaf said. "I'll assume guards are by all the obvious entrances, and the pokémon holding vault as well. Since they checked all the rooms, and they captured the only two humans on the premises, there probably won't be any guards. So, you stay here with Slowking. I'll run to my room quick, and grab my bag. That has my pokéballs and pokégear in it. Once I obtain that, we can call the police."
After Leaf finished, she slipped out of the room, and looked around. Seeing no one, she continued silently down the hallway until she was back at her own room. It was then Leaf had, unfortunately, heard voices behind the closed door. No doubt Rocket Grunts, she thought of a plan quickly before they realized that she escaped. Then she banged loudly on the door and, hoping to sound menacing, she began to speak.
"What are you doing?" she demanded. She heard grunts scrambling around, trying to get in order. "Slacking off? Just wait until the boss man hears about this..." Faster than a herd of Rabidashs', the grunts were running to find something productive to do. Leaf, of course, hurried into her room, and grabbed her bag from its hiding spot. Thankfully, it was undisturbed.
Quickly alerting the police via pokégear, Leaf sat nervously, awaiting the arrival of Officer Jenny and her troops. Not having to wait long, a police man nearly kicked her door down. After she reported what happened, Officer Jenny went to talk to Leaf.
"You called us, right?" Officer Jenny asked.
"Yeah, where's Team Rocket? Did you get them?"
"They're gone."
"What?"
"They're gone. We have reports of stolen TMs and some electronics, but other than that, there's nothing at all. No pokémon were reported missing." This surprised Leaf. She was sure they were going for the pokémon. Why else would they go to a pokémon center? After one last rundown, the police left, and Leaf retired for bed.

Leaf was just on the outskirts of Cerulean City when Nurse Joy came running.
"Leaf! Wait up, Leaf!" she called. Leaf was momentarily confused. Had she forgotten something? As she went through a checklist of everything in her head, she knew she had everything. So why was Nurse Joy running after her? "Geez, I thought I'd never catch up to you." Nurse Joy said between pants.
"What is it, Nurse Joy?" Leaf asked as she stared at the pink-haired nurse.
"I just wanted to thank you again for your help. You handled yourself like a real pro last night."
"Oh? Well, it was nothing..." Leaf said as she kicked at some dirt with her shoe.
"And I also came to give you this." Nurse Joy handed Leaf Slowkings pokéball, the psychic-type staring at her through the transparent red part of the pokéball. "He was kinda distraught when you weren't at the center, and decided he's much rather be with you than his original trainer if he ever did come back."
"Really?" Leaf asked as she took the pokéball.
"Yep. You're taking the gym challenge, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then you should head to Saffron City. That's the nearest city with a gym."
"Okay!" said Leaf as she clipped Slowkings pokéball on her belt. "Thanks!"
