Alright, here's more story, basically just some more initial first day crap. Gotta go through everyone's story you know?
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the vast amount of characters addressed here!
…
Kristin woke up to an afternoon sun shining down on her face. She looked around and found Poliwag snuggled up against her, sleeping as well. Upon further observation, Kristin noticed a Pokéball wrapped up in Poliwag's tail. "Poli," Kristin said waking it up as she moved to sit up, "Let me see?"
Poliwag cried out in obedience, giving the Pokéball to Kristin. Kristin walked over to the stream and released the Pokéball, revealing the Horsea that had joined up with her.
"Glad you decided to join us!" Kristin smiled, "You won't regret it I promise."
Horsea let out a mild cry, only having joined because of the praise Poliwag had given of Kristin during their short time together. Horsea had made up its mind to join, but not to trust until it was proven to it.
"Well, we should get back, Jamie must be waiting for us by now." Kristin said as she put Horsea back in its Pokéball and walked with Poliwag over to the spot Jamie and her had spent the previous night.
…
Jamie finally broke through the clearing to see Kristin sitting on a grassy spot, staring at the sky. "Welcome back." Kristin teased Jamie as she got up.
"Sorry! Did I keep you long?" Jamie asked as the two started walking away from the spot.
"It's okay, I found a nice little way to pass the time." Kristin said.
"That's a relief," Jamie sighed, "I thought I kept you waiting this whole time, figured you would've abandoned me by now."
"Not even, I told you I would wait for you!" Kristin protested as the two giggled and continued heading towards Viridian City.
…
"Well, it isn't my ideal method, but you're participating." Justine said as her Shinx followed the trail of breadcrumbs she dropped behind her, munching away contently. I just hope I don't run out, Justine thought to herself solemnly. However, to her dismay, the bread finally ran out, just as Shinx decided to plop back down. "Oh! You little bastard!" She cried, "Why won't you listen?" Out of the corner of her eye she spotted another trainer walking slightly ahead. "EXCUSE ME!" Justine yelled, "CAN YOU HELP ME?"
The trainer turned around, and slowly retraced their own steps back to where Justine stood, "Can I help you?" The blonde girl asked, flipping her hair back.
"You wouldn't happen to have any, well, food would you?" Justine asked embarrassed.
"Well, not really any for you." She responded coldly as she turned around to walk back the way she came.
"Wait! Maybe we could, arrange something." Justine quietly suggested.
"Such as?" The girl asked rolling her eyes.
"Maybe," Justine said looking over at her Shinx, keeping one eye open to speculate the situation, but not to participate, "A battle?"
"A battle?" The girl asked, mulling over the idea, "I don't see how you can battle with that." She gestured at the Shinx, lying on the ground.
"Well, Shinxy will do great! Right?" Justine asked.
Shinx let out a yawn and slowly rose, ignoring its masters encouragement.
"I see it isn't going to fight because of you," the girl said withdrawing her Pokéball and releasing a Spheal, "My name is Allison, I'll be defeating you today."
"Well Allison, I'll have you know that Shinxy is obedient!" Justine said angrily, "Now go Shinxy! Tackle!"
Shinx let out an annoyed cry at Justine, as it ignored her commands and held its ground.
"Okay Spheal, looks like we're going to start this battle off!" Allison commanded as Spheal let out a confident cry, "Use Water Gun!"
Spheal let out a shot of water at Shinx, which quickly dodged it, jumping above the stream and running closer towards the Spheal. Justine watched, sidelined by her Pokémon's own disobedience. Shinx paused as soon as Spheal finished up its first shot, letting it mount a second one. After repeating this process, Shinx finally closed in enough to get in a solid tackle. Spheal rolled backwards; giving Shinx it's opening to repeatedly charge the Spheal with tackles until it passed out from dizziness.
"Damn!" Allison said as she returned her Spheal, glaring at the little Pokémon that beat her without any help from her trainer.
"Good job Shinx!" Justine said happily as she picked up the little guy and squeezed it tightly.
Shinx tried to push away, but eventually let out a cry of compliance, allowing Justine to embrace its fatigued body.
"Well, good job…" Allison said, not having a name for Justine yet.
"I'm Justine," she said smiling, "And thank you."
"Yeah well, I'll be seeing you." Allison said quickly leaving the scene before Justine could realize that there was a bet riding on this.
Once Justine realized that motive for leaving, she got angry and started storming after her. "God damn it!"
Shinx let out a tired cry, telling Justine that it was okay for her to take it without a problem just this once.
"Well," Justine said smiling down at the Pokémon resting in her arms, "I guess I don't need the bread if you'll comply Shinxy!"
Shinx groaned to her as it closed its eyes and slept in her arms, allowing the walls to break down for only a bit, as it rested after carrying Justine to her first victory as a trainer.
…
"AH!" Vivian cried running away from the Ekans trying to catch her. She tripped over a small uprising in the ground, falling flat on her face. She slowly turned around in horror as the Ekans wrapped itself around her leg and squeezed. "AH!" She cried terrified as the Ekans started licking her, "WHY DO ALL THESE ICKY POKÉMON LIKE ME?" In her flailing terror, a Pokéball rolled out of her bag and tapped the Ekans, having it instantly comply to the attempted capture, even if Vivian had not intentions of it happening. "I…guess I'm progressing," Vivian said calming down after a few more minutes of hyperventilation, "But…I DON'T WANT THESE POKÉMON!" She hung her head in defeat as Spinarak popped out of its Pokéball and crawled along her back and onto her shoulder.
Spinarak let out a happy cry and shot string out its mouth into the air, having it swirl and land around Vivian.
She giggled a bit, smiling at the Pokémon, "Well, not my personal choice, but I guess I can't complain." She picked up the Pokéball housing her new Ekans and silently put it away as she brushed the dirt off her clothes and continued along her path as if she had not been running terrified from a Pokémon just moments ago.
…
"Hey! Can you help me?" Monica asked as she saw two boys passing by.
"What?" One asked, his brown hair hanging loosely.
"I have no idea where I am." She said absent-mindedly.
"Oh my God…we don't have the time to deal with retardation." The other one sighed angrily, rubbing the hood on his head.
"HEY! That's not very nice." Monica pouted.
"Sue me." He replied coolly.
"Okay then tough guy!" Monica said taking out her Pokéball and letting Caterpie come out, "Let's see how tough you are in a battle."
"Really?" The boy asked as his Cyndaquill poked its head out from around him, "You're going to challenge me?"
"You scared? My name is Monica and I won't let you bully me!" Monica cried.
"Ugh…this won't be fun using Cyndaquill," he muttered as he drew out another Pokéball, "My name is Steven, and I'll beat you at your own game." He quickly let out a Caterpie to match Monica's.
"Wait! What? How'd you get a Caterpie?" Monica asked surprised.
"Uh…they're pretty common, maybe not so much around here but it's common to have one," Steven replied dumbfounded, "Wait, was Caterpie your starter?"
"Why, yes, yes it was!" Monica said proudly.
"And it hasn't evolved yet?" The other boy asked.
"Well…no." Monica said.
"That's…pathetic." Steven said.
"Stop being such a meanie!" She cried out angrily, "Go Caterpie! Kick its butt!"
"Man, piss off, you can't handle this," Steven laughed, "Caterpie, no worries."
"Tackle Caterpie!" Monica yelled as her Caterpie started charging towards his Caterpie.
"Caterpie, String Shot the ground right in front, then return the favor and Tackle it." Steven ordered calmly as his Caterpie followed his instructions perfectly.
Monica's Caterpie let out a cry of shock as it was stopped dead by the sticky string placed in front of it. Steven's Caterpie moved in quickly, and then let out a strong tackle, sending Monica's Caterpie flying back into her arms, unconscious.
"No!" Monica protested as she cradled the little bug in her arms.
"I just caught this little dude, and he's already stronger then yours." Steven muttered as he let Caterpie crawl up his arm and sit on his shoulder.
"You…You just got lucky, is all!" Monica said sadly.
"Hey, relax…" Steven said as he stroked his Caterpie's head, "We're just fuckin' around with you anyway, Viridian's up the path over there."
"Come on Steven, we've spent enough time here." The other boy said as Steven nodded and walked off with him.
Next time he won't get me like that, Monica thought begrudgingly as she paused to rest her Caterpie.
…
"I wonder why Caterpie didn't evolve?" James wondered to Steven as it rode on his shoulder.
"That other chick's Caterpie was weak as hell, there was no way Caterpie would evolve over a Pokémon like that." Steven chuckled in response as the two continued down the path.
...
"Well Slakoth," Eddie said poking it with his foot, "It's sometime in the afternoon now, probably late afternoon if I had to guess, wanna head out any time soon?"
Slakoth looked over at Eddie, then yawned in response and closed its eyes again.
"Good idea." Eddie agreed going back to sleep in the tree he had been perched in the majority of the day.
…
"Watch where you're Pokémon goes you little brat!" Bernice yelled down at the angry little girl in front of her.
"I'm NOT a brat! And this is you're fault!" Shirley yelled back, not letting herself be intimidated.
"Your stupid little Ralts got in my way!" Bernice raged on, "Bernice does not take kindly to interference in her personal business."
"My Ralts is NOT stupid!" Shirley protested, "And Shirley does not care what you think!"
"Well then Shirley," Bernice said, "I'll give you ONE chance to apologize to me, otherwise-"
"Otherwise nothing!" Shirley snapped, "I'm not going to let a Pokémon get abused for no reason!"
"It's called training you little bitch," Bernice said, "And it's why my Bulbasaur is in a league your Ralts can't match."
"My Ralts can handle anything you throw at it!" Shirley growled furiously.
"Is that so?" Bernice asked as she let her Bulbasaur step in front of her, "Then you won't mind proving it."
Oh no, Shirley thought, Ralts can't match up properly against her…I can say what I want, but I saw what she's been doing to these wild Pokémon, it's insane!.
Ralts let out a cry to snap Shirley from her train of thought.
"You want to battle it?" Shirley asked quietly.
Ralts let out a small cry and nodded it's head vigorously.
"Well, okay Ralts, I trust you!" Shirley said as she took out her Pokédex to check what moves Ralts knew.
"Haven't battled yet have you?" Bernice asked noting Shirley's reliance upon a Pokédex, "Guess you aren't battle tested yet, this will be a clean sweep."
"Shut up!" Shirley yelled, "Go Ralts! Growl!"
Ralts let out a meek roar, trying to intimidate Bulbasaur.
"That's it?" Bernice asked as Bulbasaur and herself laughed feverishly at the two, "Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip."
Bulbasaur cried out in conformation as it released its vines and quickly swung at Ralts.
"Ralts! Dodge!" Shirley cried in fear as her Ralts jumped back and forth, avoiding as best it could.
"Nice little dance you've got there," Bernice smirked, "Bulbasaur, get serious now." Bulbasaur grabbed the Ralts with one whip, then proceeded to vigorously smack it around, having Ralts let out a streamline of cries.
"No! Ralts!" Shirley cried in fear as she helplessly gazed at her partner, "Help me you hunk of junk!" She flailed her Pokédex around until a new move popped up on the screen. "What's this?" She read it quietly to herself, "Ralts! Confusion!"
Ralts let out a cry of pain, then used the move, quickly shaking the Bulbasaur off and sending it flying back in confusion.
"Bulbasaur!" Bernice gasped surprised, "Shake it off!" Bulbasaur quickly got up and looked angrily at the Ralts.
"Good job Ralts!" Shirley said as the Ralts stood next to her panting.
"Well, that's the only trick you've got anyway!" Bernice yelled begrudgingly, "Bulbasaur, Tackle the shit out of it!"
"Ralts wait for it to get close, then use Confusion." Shirley cried as Ralts followed her orders. The second Bulbasaur stood an inch away, the attack came into effect, lifting Bulbasaur in the air and sending it flying back again. "Good job!"
"Too bad the battles over." Bernice smirked.
"What?" Shirley asked as she looked down and saw her Ralts lying on the ground, exhausted.
"Too bad too," Bernice laughed, "You might've put up a closer fight then I expected…well, might."
"Shut up! You'll never get that lucky twice!" Shirley cried angrily.
"Well, I won't have to," Bernice stated calmly, "Bulbasaur, finish the job, Poison Powder."
Bulbasaur cried in conformation. It slowly approached the fallen Ralts. Shirley watched helplessly as the powder flew out of the bulb on Bulbasaur's back and drifted closer and closer towards them.
"Why?" Shirley asked picking up Ralts and cradling it in her arms.
"There's only so much bullshit I can take from a little bitch like you." Bernice smirked as it closed upon Shirley.
"Houndour! Smog!" A voice called out.
"What?" Shirley asked turning around to see a cloud of purple gas pass her and Ralts and absorb the poison powder in the air.
"God damn interference!" Bernice cried angrily.
"Enough is enough," A boy said emerging from the brush he had been spectating in.
It's that boy from the lab, Shirley thought as he stood above her.
"You want some too?" Bernice asked, "You're fire Pokémon don't intimidate me!"
"Just leave now, before your Bulbasaur gets hurt worse." He ordered.
"What's your name?" Bernice begrudgingly asked as she looked at her clearly exhausted Bulbasaur.
"I am Sebastian, and you?" Sebastian asked looking over at Bernice as he helped Shirley off the ground.
"Bernice," She said, "And this will not be our last meeting, for either of you. Bulbasaur, Poison Powder!"
Bulbasaur let out a thick wall of Poison Powder, making everything behind it impossible to see. Once it subsided, the two were gone, as if they had never been there.
"You okay?" Sebastian asked as Shirley looked down at Ralts.
"Yes," She said, "Thank you."
"Anytime." Sebastian said as he walked back the way he came.
"Wait!" Shirley called to him, "I'm Shirley!"
"Nice to meet you Shirley," Sebastian said turning around, "Hope to see you around."
"You too." Shirley replied as she returned Ralts to its Pokéball and continued in the opposite direction of Sebastian.
