'Moving from Shino was quite the trip, but I think everything will end up pretty nice out in Hoenn.' I thought, exiting the back of the truck. "Little Root town, I begin my adventure there!" I said, pointing off into the distance.
Later
"This is Professor Burtch's lab?" I asked myself, standing in front of the building. I watched as a lightning bolt struck down in the woods, gaining my attention. "Better go check that out!" I said, making my way into the woods. As I ran, I came to a halt as I saw a white Pokémon with a green head with red spikes on it. It had its back turned to me, with its arms raised up, jumping to get an Oran berry.
Walking over to it, I knelt down behind it, watching as it jumped up and down. Reaching for the berry, it stopped moving entirely. Picking it, I held it lower for the Pokémon, with it grabbing it. "There you go!" I said, rubbing its head. "Sorry, but I cant stay, I have to go investigate!" I said, standing up and running along.
Once I reached a cliff, I saw a girl in red and an older man pulling on a rope. Running over to them, I grabbed the rope and started pulling on it as well, with them looking at me with a raised eyebrow. Once we pulled, we saw a kid holding a yellow Pokémon, that resembled a mouse. "Thanks for the help, and who might you be?" The man asked, with me looking up at him.
"I'm Dakota, from Shino!" I introduced, with him smiling at me.
"So you're Dakota, its nice to meet you, but at the moment, we have a serious situation on our hands here!" He said, over looking the Pokémon, where a giant robot showed up at the same time. "What's that?" He asked, looking back at the charger like robot.
"Prepare for trouble, for the umpteenth time!" A red head in white and a letter R on her chest said as she stood on top.
"Make it double and I'll make it rhyme!" The blue haired guy said, wearing similar clothes, but a male version of it.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To pronounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!" The girl said, with me getting her name.
"James!" The blue haired guy said as they held their hands up high.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare for an out of this world fight!" He said, where the girl suddenly lost all intrest.
"What's the point?" She asked, scaring the guy.
"That's right!" A talking cat Pokémon said, with me staring at it.
"Professor Burtch, that's team Rocket and they keep trying to catch Pikachu!" The boy said, with me looking at them, then the robot.
"Never heard of them." I said, shrugging my shoulders.
"I've never heard of them." Professor Burtch said, looking back at the kid.
"Trust me, they are always up to no good!" The boy said, holding the Pikachu closer.
"Where's your thunder bolts?" The voice of the cat called out, with me scratching my chin.
"I wouldn't attack it with electricity, but a fire type would work!" I said, looking at the others, seeing a claw grabbing hold of Pikachu. They ended up hooking some sucker things to Pikachu, and started draining his electricity. The electricity started getting out of control, flying in different directions. "That's a lot of power, I've never seen a Pokémon hold that much!" I said, covering my face, where I watched a bike get fried. Looking past the robot, I watched as a white Pokémon with a green head and holding an Oran berry waltz right over, looking up in curiosity.
Running forward, I moved away from the blasts and slid at the Pokémon, where I covered it, protecting it from the electricity. There was a blast behind me, sending the two of us flying away, not far, but a good distance. I flipped myself and hit the tree, holding the Pokémon in my arms.
Landing on the ground, I looked down at the Pokémon, who was staring up at me. "You ok?" I asked, with it nodding its head.
"Pikachu!" The boy yelled, with us looking over at them, seeing him holding Pikachu in his arms. "Professor Burtch!" He said, with the man and girl nodding and all three of them taking off.
Placing the Pokémon down, I rubbed its head. "Sorry, I have to go check up on them, it was nice meeting you!" I called out, taking off after them.
Later
"How's Pikachu?" I asked, seeing Professor Burtch walking out of the lab.
"Pikachu is fine, he should be good as new in the morning!" He said, with me nodding, smiling. "Now, I would offer you one of the starter Pokémon, but I have a feeling, that a certain Ralts wants to be your partner instead." He said, confusing me.
"Ralts?" I asked, making him laugh as he started leading me away.
"Ralts is the Pokémon you saved earlier, and from what I was able to see out the window." He said, with us reaching the door, seeing the same Pokémon walking in, looking up at me. "Ralts has already formed a bond with you!" He said, with me bending down as Ralts held its arms out, with me picking it up and holding it.
"Ralts!" The Pokémon said, hugging me.
"I get it, this is the same Ralts that I gave that berry to!" I said, with it nodding as it now sat in my arms.
"Ralts senses the emotions of people using the horns on its head. It rarely appears before people as it hides if it senses hostility, but when it does appear, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition. If its trainer is in a cheerful mood, Ralts grows cheerful and joyous in the same way, when it is cheerful, its body warms up slightly." Burtch said, holding a poke ball out to me, as well as a pokedex. "Take this, and discover more Pokémon out in the world!" He said, with me nodding. "I also want you to tag along with Ash, as well as May as they will be heading on their own journey as well." He said, with me smiling up at him.
"Thanks, I think I'll stay here and learn more about Ralts for the day!" I said, with Ralts nodding its head.
The next day
Walking down the hall, I had Ralts on my head, with Ralts looking around, never being on such a height before. I allowed Ralts to stay out of its poke ball, because it just didn't seem right to have it stuck in there without seeing the world. Walking up to Ash's room, I stopped once I saw May. "Hello!" I called out, waving at her as she jumped before she could open his room.
She turned to me, looking like she had been caught doing something bad. "Ral!" Ralts said, with me looking up at it, seeing it was waving at her as well.
"Ralts... Is that the same Pokémon that you saved yesterday?" May asked, pointing at Ralts.
"It is, I guess I made a great impression on Ralts that it wanted to stick with me." I said, reaching up and taking Ralts hand and shacking it.
"So, your first Pokémon, is a Psychic type, that's really cool!" She said, smiling at me.
"Psychic and Fairy type." I informed, confusing her.
"What's a Fairy type?" She asked, with me smirking.
"A Fairy type Pokémon is a new type of Pokémon that was discovered in the Calos region, they had to do a lot of paper work to get it finalized, and they still haven't finished, but I do like the idea of fairy Pokémon!" I said, with Ralts nodding its head.
"Fairy type Pokémon do sound cute, and Ralts is a cutie!" May said, with Ralts placing its hands on its face, making us laugh as it was blushing. Hearing a noise from Ash's room, we moved over to the door, with me looking over her at Ash and his Pikachu.
"Well, would you look at that." I whispered, with Ralts grabbing the door and closing it as it was only cracked. "Lets give him his space." I said, where we started walking outside.
Later
Walking outside, I set Ralts down, where it started walking around, getting feelings back into its legs. Looking up at me, it waved, followed by May letting out her Pokémon. As her Pokémon came out, she knelt down and rubbed its face. "Good morning Torchick." May said, with it leaning into her hand.
"Torchick." I said, kneeling down and sitting next to Ralts, who jumped into my lap, where I started petting its head, making me smile. "It seems that today is going to be a good day, wouldn't you agree?" I asked Ralts, with it nodding.
"It sure is!" We heard, with us looking up to see a yawning Ash and Pikachu.
May walked over, smiling at him. "How's Pikachu?" She asked, with them looking at her.
"He's great!" Ash said, making Pikachu smile even more as she reached out and petted him.
Pikachu looked down, and got excited. "Picka!" Pickahu said, jumping down to greet Torchick. "Pikachu!" He said, with Torchick smiling back.
"Torchick!" Torchick said back, with both of them running around, having fun.
They stopped once they saw Ralts, with us watching them running over to us, with Ralts turning around and hugging me, making me smile, confusing the two Pokémon and the other two trainers. "Sorry, but Ralts is shy, but I'm sure that Ralts will play with you two one day!" I said, with me rubbing Ralts back.
"Ralts, that seems like a cool Pokémon, is it a ghost type?" Ash asked, with us looking up at him.
"Ralts is a Psychic type, but according to the Calos region, its a Psychic Fairy type." I said, looking down at Ralts. "Fairy type Pokémon arnt confirmed to be a new species, but I hope it does." I said, with Ash nodding.
"It could change the world it that was the case!" He said, with me nodding as well.
"I'm surprised that you know that!" Burtch said as he walked out, with May returning her Pokémon and Pikachu jumping on Ash's shoulder, with me standing up while holding Ralts.
"Well, I want to become a Pokémon professor one day!" I said, with him nodding.
"You three will have to register in the Hoenn Pokémon league at the nearest Pokémon center, ok?" He asked, with a green haired man with glasses walking out as well.
"And the nearest town where I think you'll find one is Oldale town!" He said, with me placing Ralts on my head.
"Ok, thanks!" Ash said, with May looking upset.
"Walking all that way alone makes me nervous, and my bike is destroyed, thanks to your Pikachu, mister." May said as she placed her hands behind her head, looking dead at Ash, who flinched. "There must be a solution, a way to get to Oldale town on foot." She said, with me nodding my head.
"I say that we go together, with May knowing the way as she's from here, it shouldn't be that big of a deal!" I said, with May nodding. "Besides, what's an adventure without friends?" I asked, with Ralts nodding.
"Really Ash, I don't mind at all, its no trouble at all!" May said, rubbing Pikachu's face, making it smile.
"Ok, that sounds like a good Idea!" He said, with her smirking.
"Good idea, you two head on, and make sure to have a lot of fun!" Burtch said, with us walking off.
