I just wanted to let you know that I do not and am not trying to own pokemon nor the characters from the original series. I just have ideas to share-- I hope you enjoy. This is the first chapter I am posting for this new year, and look to my profile for the avatar to change to one of my created pokemon species. Enjoy!
Later Years!
Chapter 26: Is it a New Trainer?
written by drake22ice
"Eeeeh! Oh, good morning, Gary!" Dawn eased out as she exited her tent. She was holding a pokeball. "I made some coffee. It seems my son is addicted and has hidden a stash in his bag." Gary let out with a chuckle and took a sip. She smiled and looked over to see Empoleon had been working all night with the colony. They were carrying rubble --- already building for their new home. She took a glance back to Gary sitting next to Umbreon and his Moperat. Connor's pokedex was sitting opened next to him with a page up showing an image of Moperat. Gary put his hand out towards her. Dawn did not know how to interpret the gesture until he spoke. "Is this your little guy!" he said pointing to the pokeball in her hand. She looked down with a sort of sad face. "I don't know if I should keep him." she said. "Of course you should. We should all should cherish our new friends." He ended and took another sip. He let out one more comment--- "Boy! Connor is gonna have a surprise when he wakes up." Dawn looked over to Connor's tent and could see something moving inside.
Connor woke up to two big red eyes looking at him. "Woooh!" he yelled out as he jumped back. There standing before him was a little white hyena looking pup pokemon with purple spots. Connor quickly looked to where his egg had been. He moved the blanket which made the pokemon stop wagging its tail and pounced grab the blanket with its mouth. It started playing tug-of-war with Connor. "He ha! So you hatched?!! Dad!" he yelled out smiling. Gary opened the door with Dawn peeking past him with Moperat and Piplup. "So you finally woke up to meet her?" Gary laughed out. Connor looked up to his dad. "You knew?" he asked. Gary rubbed his head and replied-- "Well, we met when she woke me up by stealing one of my socks." Connor and Dawn laughed. Star had woken up and pushed her way passing Dawn. She wiped her eyes. "What is all the ---- ?" she stopped to look at the new pokemon. "You mean your--- it hatch-- Connor, this is great!" she stuttered out. "Tera! Tera! Come here!" she yelled out the tent. Tera stumbled in and looked at the new pokemon. She saw it and grabbed the pokedex out of Gary's hand. The screen went blank from the Moperat image earlier and it sent a green beam out scanning the new pokemon. The new little pokemon's patch of red fur on its face tensed up and it growled--- "Rrrrrr Woof!" It shot an Ember attack at the pokedex knocking the two girls and Dawn out the door and leaving Gary to catch it.
"Burwuf should suffice for the identification of this Fire pokemon. Its patch of red fur between its eyes leads its accuracy as shown in its attack. This Burwuf is feisty, but as to whether it is common for its species-- is yet unknown." the robotic voice announced from the pokedex. The Pichus came running out from the girls' tent and ran up to the pup pokemon sniffing her. The Burwuf immediately started wagging its tail again. Connor rose his hand with flashes of light hitting the floor of the tent in front of Burwuf. Spheal and Eevee popped out. They looked at the Pichus sniffing out the new pokemon and looked at each other. "Go ahead. She's our new friend--- my new pokemon, Burwuf." Connor suggested. They smiled and Eevee jumped on Burwuf--- rolling both of them. Spheal walked up to her slowly. They looked at each other. Spheal inhaled and rubbed nose to nose with Burwuf, freaking her out so much that she jumped back. Every one laughed. "Ha-- No, it's, alright, Burwuf. Spheal greets every one like that." Connor laughed out.
While Gary and Dawn took down the tents with Star, the rest including the pokemon played around with Tera and Connor. Eevee, Vulpx, and the Pichus were chasing Burwuf in and out of Tera's legs. Tera was losing her balance because she was just trying to take a picture to send to her parents of the new pokemon. Star saw them having fun and looked over by her bag. Her egg container was wrapped up in a blanket. "Look!" Tera calledout. She was pointing over to where Feezub and Spheal were. They had made a snowman. It was very entertaining, but the snow had stopped and they could see a village beyond the valley ahead. The three kids looked at each other, and then took off towards Icewindale calling their pokemon as they ran. "Wait up!" Gary announced to deaf ears. He looked back to Dawn. She was sitting next to her bag looking back to Empoleon who stood there staring. She looked back to Gary with sorrowful eyes. "I'll catch up." she whispered. Gary grabbed his bag --- "Come on Umbreon! You too Moperat!" he called off speeding away. He took one glance back to see Dawn with her arms around Empoleon.
"Oh, I cannot wait to take a nice warm bath!" Tera called out. Star smirked-- "Yeah, we cannot wait for that either." Connor was biting his lip trying not to laugh. Tera looked back and stopped. She put her hands on her hips and stared at Star, "You're just jealous that we took better care of our eggs. They hatched and yours might never hatch!" Tera said in a tone most would regret what they said in. Star looked down. Her Vulpix stared up at her with a comforting gaze as she rubbed Star's leg. Star held her egg tight. "uh, Girls? LOOK OUT!" Connor yelled as Per jumped down from the gate of ice marking the entrance to the city. "So another one hatched!" Per purred out as she paced in front of Jessie. "No matter! Now we get to see how worthy these pint size pokemon are!" She lunged for Burwuf. Spheal jumped in the way and started to shoot an IceBeam. Per was too quick and swiped it aside. Burwuf moved to the side and started growling. It shot an Ember attack, but the attack froze in the air. Wobufet stopped it using Disable. It slowly weakened because of the injured tail, and the Ember attack just missed Jessie instead. "Vulpix, FireSpin!" Star called out. A tornado of flame was flung from the little fox pokemon's mouth towards the foe. It scorched Per in the side, but still missed. Wobufet joined Per putting the three and their pokemon in between Per and Jessie. "Ha ha ha! You think you little twerps would have a chance!" Jessie chuckled.
From behind Per and Wobufet, Umbreon pounded to the ground starting a wave of darkness shooting towards them. Then, a blast of snow and wind emerged from the mouth of Moperat. The two attacks formed into one creating a dark ice filled blast flowing and knocking Per and Wobufet out of the area. Gary came up behind them. Connor was in awe of the great and beautiful combination his Dad's Umbreon and Moperat formed. "Dark Pulse and Blizzard make quite a punch!" Gary gasped out. Jessie looked scared, but remembered her new pokemon. "Goooo--! Huh?" Jessie stopped. Her pokeball went flying and her hand had been cuffed. "You're coming back home with us, Jessilina!" one of two burley men in white uniforms told her as he cuffed her other hand. "My name is, Jessie--- you--- idiot!" she sighed out as a man looking like a doctor injected her with something. They threw her into a van-like snowmobile. The three kids looked to Gary in a confused manner.
"Thank you for the tip, Professor!" said the gleaming doctor as he shook Gary's hand. "My pleasure. I saw them snooping around earlier and used Tera's pokeWave to call you. These three new trainers don't need her following them in their journey. It is bad enough with this SPAT group around." Gary spoke to him. Dawn rushed up to the scene. "What happened?" she whispered to Connor.
While the doctor and Gary were talking, Dawn decided to take the kids to find a pokemon center to freshen up the group. They passed a huge ice building resembling a castle. Tera stared at it. She thought she saw something at the top move. Feezub must have seen it, too. He was sitting on her head enjoying the ride and watching that spot. Connor was walking and daydreaming about his dad's combination. Star held her egg and walked sluggishly along.
When they arrived at the building with the big pokeball marking it as the Pokemon center. Dawn quickly rushed in. She handed hers and Gary's pokeballs over to Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy turned back around. "Oh, are you the trainers of these adorable pokemon?" she asked to the three. "Well, I don't think I have ever seen these two types before. What are they?" she asked looking at Burwuf and Feezub. Connor woke up from daydreaming "Uh—Oh this is my Burwuf. She just hatched this morning and she is a Fire type." He was rapidly pushed aside by Tera --- "And this is Feezub. He is the stronger one and he is an Ice type." she arrogantly pointed out. The old man sitting in the waiting room perked his head up to see. Dawn had Tera's pichu on her shoulder. They both rolled their eyes to the comment. Nurse Joy then saw Star holding her egg with a sad look. "Dear, what's the matter?" she asked. Star looked up. "I don't think I am taking good care of my egg. I got it the same time they did, and mine hasn't hatched yet." Dawn put her arm around Star. "Star, you should know that different pokemon hatch under different conditions. Some like a certain environment, some need a loving trainer, and some need to be near their own kind." she pointed out. Star perked up. "Yes, you're doing just fine." Nurse Joy said. She stood back up. "Now, we cannot take all of your pokemon in like this. They must be returned to their pokeballs." she insisted. She left the room with the tray full of pokeballs.
Dawn heard Connor's stomach growl. "Why don't we go to the cafeteria to get a bite to eat?"
Near the edge of the city. A boy stumbled across a pokeball. He looked around to make sure no one was looking nor owned up to it. He took shelter in an alley between two buildings. He hit the button and a flash of red light hit the snow. It formed into a little blue water lizard pokemon. It looked panicked and ran around looking everywhere. "I don't know where your friend or friends are, but I would like to be your friend, too." the boy shouted trying to get it to see him. The Newdow jumped being frightened by the voice. "New--- New!" it yelled out blasting the wall above the boy's head with a BubbleBeam. "I'm sorry I scared you." he sighed out. The pokemon looked out onto the road in the city. "Did you see that crazy pink haired woman get taken away by those men?" the boy asked getting the pokemon's attention. The Newdow walked up to the boy. The boy saw that it was shivering and cold. "I would like to be your friend--- if you want to--?" he asked again. The blue pokemon looked up to him, jumped on his lap, and curled up to get warm as the boy wrapped his arms around it.
So A new pokemon, a new owner, they made it to the city, and Empoleon was left to create a better home for his new family.
