Many Pokemon Trainers have their stories. That's because they are all on a journey, though it's mostly the same Journey. But there is one Trainer who does it differently. A 16 year-old boy named Lucas "Emerald" Ordo. From the Region of Unova. Inspired by his hero Trask Ugol and his Pokemon Search Team, Lucas and his Loyal Magby, Genesis, have sailed to Kanto on a homemade boat to look for a Pokemon he's been obsessed with for years: The Physcic Legend, Mewtwo. What fallows is his expanding adventures, as he makes new friends along his journey.

Chapter 1

Arrival in Kanto! I am Emerald!

Lucas was walking, or limping through the Woods, walking with a Stick. His Magby, Genesis, was right next to him. He was very Tired, from rowing all the way from Unova to Kanto, and then walking this far. "Ugh...How much farther, Genesis?". His Magby looked at him Puzzley. "Magby?". "Oh that's right, I'M the one with the Pokenav." He Checked his Pokenav...The Screen was fuzzy. "Oh THAT'S right! The Battery got Spoiled from that Salt Water splash!" he Said Sarcastically. "Now What?"

At that moment he looked to his right, and saw an opening in the woods. "Could that be?". He walked over and saw...a small little village. "I think this is it. This is Pallet Town!" Lucas said excitedly. "Magby!" said Genesis. Lucas threw the stick aside, and he and his Magby went running into Pallet Town.

The two wandered through the streets of Pallet, looking confusidley. "Hmm, now where is Oak's Lab?" said Lucas to himself.

Within a small town, it wouldn't take long to find the large lab, fit snuggly within a far corner of the town. It would also be easy to spot the figure of a girl, about 15 or 16, emerge from the sliding doors of the lab, closely followed by one of the lab assistants.

A glimmer of their conversation drifted into hearing range, "...shouldn't be that hard," a female voice said, the girl. "With Squirtle with me, I should be able to get it for you guys. Stop worrying." The lab assistant threw his hands in the air, and stormed back into the lab. The girl hurried out of town, on her way to do something...but what?

As Lucas made his way through town, the Girl with the Squirtle walked past him. Lucas immediatley turned around.

"Hey girl, Come here. Do you know where Professor Oak's Lab is? I'm pretty lost...and Hungry..." he said.

"Yeah," she smiled a bit nervously. "I was just heading out of there. It's that big building, the one with the automated doors." She pointed in the direction of the lab. "I'd really love to show you around town and scavenge up some food for you, but I really have to go take care of something..."

With a wave and an apologetic look, the girl dashed off and out of town, apparently in a huge rush to do something.

Lucas Shrugged. "Fine by Moi. Let's go Genesis!".

"It's about Friggin Time." said Genesis. Lucas could understand what his Magby says to him.

Lucas and Genesis finally made it to the builing that said "Oak Laboratory." Lucas looked straight into the air and whispered, "We made it, Trask." With that, they both walked slowly inside. "Hello? Anybody home?" he called out.

Their calls attracted the attention of the lab assistant that was speaking to the girl earlier. He had a worried and somewhat angry look on his face, but he shook it off as he walked up to Lucas. "Hello," he said, "Professor Oak had to run an errand and is in the Johto region at this moment, and left me in charge. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The far off look in his eyes told that he wasn't truly paying much attention to Lucas, his mind was elsewhere.

"The Johto Region?! Dang! I was told to seek the Guidance of Prof. Oak! I came all this way from Unova on a Wooden Raft and walked Several Miles to see he's not here?!" Genesis stared at his trainer in Concern, he might go nuts.

"He had important business to attend to. As I said before, I am more than happy to help you." his voice turned a bit annoyed. "Again, I ask, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lucas Shrugged. "Ehh, I guess. My name is Lucas Ordo. Me and my Magby have come all the way from the Unova Region, and spent weeks sailing here. I've come to find people to journey with, as I am on a Quest to look for the Ultimate Treasure! I have come to Prof. Oak as instructed to get a few supplies I may need on this journey...also I'm hungry..."

"I'm not too sure which supplies you'd be looking for, but I can certainly help with food." the assistant replied. He walked farther into the lab, and turned back to make sure Lucas was following. "What exactly were the supplies you were after?" Lucas Fallowed him into the Kitchen. "Well, I was hoping for three things. One, I'm not really familiar with the Pokemon in this Region, so I was hoping for one of those 'Pokedex' thingamabobers. Two, I'm short handed on Pokeballs, and the Shop in my town was out. And Three...I need another Pokemon. If we run into a Steelix or something, my Magby isn't gonna be able to hold it off on it's own, and I heard Oak has some pretty exotic Pokemon. So basically, I'd like the New Kanto Trainer Package...Please."

"Of course, of course. We have a large variety of Pokedexes." He gestured towards a large crate full of Pokedexes. "Go ahead, choose one. Also, your pokeballs..." He handed Lucas 5 small red-and-white globules. "And, follow me..." He veered away from the kitchen and walked to a big white room. In the centre there was a small table containing two pokeballs. One had a leaf sticker on and sent a nice aroma around the room the other had a fire emblem and was warm to the touch. There once was a third one, but it was gone, apparently already given away.

"Here are the Kanto starting pokemon. Go ahead, choose one." He gestured towards the table. He walked out and returned soon enough with a small package. "I recall you saying something about being hungry?" He said with a smile.

Wow, that was easier than I thought, Lucas thought.

He took the Pokedex and Pokeballs and looked at the Pokeballs. "Hmm, Let's see here. I've read about these starters: 'Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander'. Hmm, well I see Squirtle's taken...Hmm, not a Real fan of Grass types...I'm gonna have to go with Charmander."

He picked up the Warm Pokeball. "Anyone with a Magby should know what 'Hot' feels like." Yeah, you got that right!, Genesis said to him. Lucas looked at the Package the Assistant gave him. "Oh, THANK YOU!" He took it, and opened it up. There was a Sandwich inside. He immeditely tore a part off and gave it to genesis, then wolfed it down. "Ahh, that was great...I havent eaten anything but berries in days. By the way, what was that sadwhich anyway, I Couldn't really tell, I ate it so fast."

"Err, that was Miltank milk cheese spread. Have some Pecha pudding." He held out a small plastic box and a spoon. He took the pokeball, peeling off the sticker and handed it back. "Hey Thanks!" said Lucas, taking it. "Now shoo! A pokemon researchers work is never done. I have a lot of research to do." He shooed Lucas out of the building, shoved the pudding in his hands and slammed the door shut. "Hey what?!", Lucas said. He did NOT like being shoved out of a building like that. He went up and banged on the door. "Wait, is there any way I can get into contact with Oak?".

No Answer.

"CRAP!" Lucas said. Well, what now?Genesis said to him. "Oh I don't know." He ate the pudding in one gulp. "Good Pudding." He handed the empty carton to his Magby, who crushed and disintagrated it. "*Sigh* I was hoping I could at least contact Oak. Is this how the Professor acts? His assistant didn't even notice when I said I SAILED FROM UNOVA SINGLE HANDIDLY!" Genesis stared at him puzzely. "Well, Trask told me to seek Prof. Oak, and that's what I'm going to do. Even if it Kills me!", said Lucas. "Hmm, I wonder what that girl who was in a hurry was up to? Oh whatever. Come on Gen, let's explore this Town to see if there's anyone who'll actually give a Damn.""Magby!", said Genesis. Lucas looked at his Pokeball the assistant gave him. "I'll check you out when I get a chance." Together they went off, and wandered through Pallet town. Who should Lucas bump into, rather than Oak himself! The professor looked surprised then looked closely at the boy. "Why, you're Lucas. Trask told me you'd come. I see you already got a starter pokemon...However he has asked me to battle with you for he doubts your ability, slightly. Here's the note he sent through Wingull mail." Handing Lucas the piece of yellow paper, he revealed two pokeballs from his numerous took the paper, put in his Pocket (To read it later). Then he smiled. "Okay. I accept your Challenge!" he said. "A two-on-two if you'd like..." said Oak. "Fine by moi. And I'll use my new Charmander first. Genesis, you sit out for a sec." said Lucas.

"Magby!" said Genesis, who took a few steps back. Lucas then picked up his new starter Pokeball. "Alright new guy,
come out!", he said and threw the Pokeball. Out came a Charmander. "Char! Char!". Lucas looked at it. "Hmm, not bad at all. Alright then."

The professer sent out a Miltank. "I warn you, I'm good. I'm not a professer for nothing. In my younger days, I used to be a serious pokemon trainer. Go ahead, make the first move."

"Alright Charmander...er...use Scratch!", said Lucas. The Charmander went right up to the Miltank to scratch it.

Miltank took the Scratch without a glance, then stood up and started using a Rollout, curling up and rolling at Charmander with high speeds, knocking pebbles and grass astray.

"Quick, Dodge it!" said Lucas. Charmander tried Dodging, but a little too late. He took damage. Lucas said "Whoa, are you okay?".The Charmander got to it's feet, and nodded at Lucas."Alright, use Growl!". With that, Charmander let out a growl to lower it's enemy's attack.

Miltank's attack was lowered, but on the second turn of Rollout, the attack didn't look any weaker. In fact, because of the rising power, it looked much stronger and would probably wipe out Charmander. But as Miltank was nearing in, it suddenly veered away to the right. Miltank's attack missed. It unrolled and glared at Charmander, closing in for a strong Stomp.

"Dodge and Counter with Scratch!"

Charmander jumped right out of the way of Stomp, then dove in for a Scratch Attack. Miltank was weakening but it used Milk Drink, recovering some health. Then it just sat there, staring with glassy eyes. It was using Bide.

"Again; Scratch!"

Charmander went right up to the Waiting Miltank, and scratched it. Miltank did not respond. It was storing energy. Lucas was going to have it use Scratch, but then got a better idea. He held up Charmander's Pokeball."Return!", he said and recalled it to it's Pokeball. "Genesis, get out there!". Genesis the Magby took Charmander's place in the battle. Miltank stared on. The energy was just about ready to be unleashed.

"Genesis, Defense is the wall that separates you from victory. You know what to do." said Lucas. Genesis nodded, and used Leer, to lower Miltank's defense. Miltank suddenly opened her mouth, and released a white beam of pure energy, point blank at Magby. As a follow up, it rolled up and started using Rollout. "Dodge.", said Lucas, Calmly. And Genesis dodged the energy that came out. When the Miltank used rollout, Lucas simply snapped his fingers and Magby went straight into Miltank using Flame both clashed together and an explosion took place. As the dust cleared, it
revealed a fainted Miltank.

"Hmm, not bad. Return. Go!" This time the Prof sent out a Dodrio. They 'cawed' in unison then the three heads went mad, using Fury Attack at Magby. Lucas said nothing. The Magby clearly knew what to do. It let out a stray of Smog to Poison the Dodrio. With Smog being gas, they simply turned around and flapped their large tail feathers to blow the gaseous state away. Then they took a strange, defensive stance. Suddenly they launched themselves clear off their feet, whirling strongly, using Drill Peck.

Genesis got hit once...Then Twice...Then another...But before Dodrio could try again, Genesis clutched it's fist and came in with a Dynamic Punch. Dodrio got a good smack with Dynamic Punch before it jumped clear. It gleamed with anger then closed in using Agility faster than the eye can follow. Then it gave Magby a peck with each head. One. Two. Three. Then settled back. It was using Rage. Genesis was getting ready...it was so mad it gave a leer glow.

"Go" said Lucas. Then Magby used fire charge, and ran straight into Dodrio. Dodrio glanced aside as the fiery fireball struck it. It singed a bit of fluff but it didn't mind. Then it stood up, tall and intimidating. It closed in the distance with Agility again and this time two pecks with each head. Total of six vicious pecks from a furious Dodrio. Magby grinned, and unleashed more smog at Dodrio. Dodrio ran right into it by accident. It sat down, suddenly not feeling well.

"Hahaha. Well, you have certainly proven that you and you're pokemon are a force to be reckoned with. Dodrio return. I'll tell Trask he has nothing to worry about." said Oak. Lucas patted his Victorious Magby on the head. Good Job, Genesis. Take a rest.", and with that, he put Genesis back in his Pokeball.

Then, he went after the Professor. "Wait! I was told to seek your advice. You see, I am after the ultimate hunt! For the Greatest Treasure of all!", he said. Lucas got out his Mewtwo Card and showed it to Oak. "This Pokemon is what I've come here from Unova to find: Mewtwo. But I need an accomplice or two. I must search this Region in search of people to help me...but to begin...say, who was that girl I saw leave here a while ago?" he said. "Hmm, you mean Blue? She's another new trainer who took Squirtle." Oak nodded thoughtfully. "I know that." said Lucas. "She looked like she was doing something important...where was she going?".

"I have no idea. I wasn't there when she left. You should go meet my lab assistant. After all, he was the one who gave her the errand. Although it is now lunch time. The assistant won't be there. You should follow her and ask her what she was going after." The Prof shrugged. "Not sure where she was going." said Lucas. "And uh...my Pokenav...", he held up
his PokeNavigator, "...Is Kinda Busted. I'm not sure, I think when we got it by a wave, it may be that the battery became spoiled." he said. "I'm pretty sure she went that way. I bumped into her but she hurried away before I could apologize, or even get in a say for that matter. As for that PokeNav..." Oak started feeling around in his numerous pockets. "I'm sure I had batteries here...Ah!" Prof trumphiantly produced a battery. "But that needs
two...Let's go see in the lab."

Before Lucas could say anything, Oak dragged him off to the empty lab. "Now." He opened a large drawer full of odd batteries."I must have one that matches..." He rummaged in the different batteries. "Come help me look." He gestured to Lucas. "Uh, Okay." said Lucas. He looked through the drawer, and looked for the Battery. "Um, how about this one?", he said holding up a Battery that looked exactly like the one Oak had. "Mmm..." Oak took the battery and swerved it around. "Nope. It's dead. Oh!" He held up another one which looked exactly same, but it had a red band around it, signifying it was different. He shoved aside a blue battery, plucked a pink one, tossed a black one out, found another red one. "Uh..." said Lucas, with Genesis over his shoulder peering into the drawer. The drawer seemed to be brimming with odd batteries, none of them matched the other. Oak finally found one in the depths of the drawer. He trumphantly shoved it in, flicked the spoiled ones in the bin and handed them to Lucas. Lucas put the Batteries in the Pokenav, and flicked it on...and it came up and running.

"Great! Thanks Professor! Now all I need to do is find people to help me find Mewtwo. Maybe that girl could be. Dunno why, something tells me I should." he said. He looked at his Pokenav. "Hmm, the next town where she was headed is...Viridian City...wait...Viridian City? What's so important there?"

Oak peered over at the PokeNav. "Nothing's special. Recently it was overcome by a swarm of Slugma. They left behind large hordes of nests and eggs. Perhaps Blue went to fetch a Slugma egg for research?". "Well then, I guess...oh wait, hold on..." said Lucas remembering the note in his Pocket. He pulled it out and read it:

Hey there, Emerald.

Oak was here in Johto for a while, and he said no one that looks or sounds like your description ever showed up. So I'm telling him about you now, and handing him this letter to hand to you. So If you're reading this, you've probably already gotten there. I knew the ocean wouldn't be tough for you! Haha! Well, now you're probably gonna start finding that strange "Mewtwo" Pokemon. Well as I once told you, you'll need a search team like I have. You should look all over Kanto for people with descriptive abilities and attributes; a diverse team. Mewtwo will be hard to find. Be sure to take care of that Magby, and be sure to Catch Pokemon!

Good Luck, we all can't wait to hear of your success.
-Trask Ugol.

Lucas looked up from the letter. " 'Look all over Kanto for people with descriptive attributes.' Well, I think
the best place to start is a New Pokemon trainer. Maybe this Blue girl might help. I'll go help her with this Slugma problem, and observe her skills." he said. He walked over and took out his Mewtwo card. "Professor, I have to ask: What do you know of this Pokemon, Mewtwo?".

Oak scratched his chin at the sight of the card. "Said to be legendary. Its DNA is almost the same as Mew's. However, its size and disposition are vastly different. It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments. Because its battle abilities were raised to the ultimate level, it thinks only of defeating its foes. Mewtwo is a pokemon that was created by genetic manipulation. However, even though the scientific power of humans created this pokemon's body, they failed to endow Mewtwo with a compassionate heart. It usually remains motionless to conserve energy, so that it may unleash its full power in battle. A Pokemon created by recombining Mew's genes. It's said to have the most savage heart among Pokemon. That's all I know." Oak said.

Lucas was pleased by a better description of his pursued Pokemon. "So...an Artificial Pokemon, eh? Wow! That just gets better! And I know he's here in Kanto, I saw him fly over to this direction when I was a little kid." he said. Then Lucas looked back at his Pokenav. "Man, so many places to go. Kanto is Big!". Then he started for the door. "Thanks Professor! For everything! I promise you I will be a succesful Pokemon Searcher!" he called out. As he was halfway through the doorway, he said "Oh, before I go...I'll need this", and took out something from his Pocket: a Lollipop! "I've been hooked on these things for years. They calm the nerves, but don't satisfy hunger, couldn't waste and live on these things for weeks." he said. Lucas started sucking on it, then looked at his Charmander's Pokeball. "As for you, New Recruit, I shall call you Comet." he said and looked back. "Bye, Oak. And thanks." and walked out. Oak waved his hand as the young trainer exited. "He actually saw Mewtwo...?" He wondered. "That boy sure has many great things in store for him." Oak smiled.

Meanwhile Blue was weaving through the abandoned houses. "One must be left behind...", she said. Her Squirtle stayed close by. The place still smelt singed. She tripped on a nest and went head over heels. "Oof! So many nests, yet not an egg left behind!". She kicked a nest astray in annoyance.

At the same time, Lucas took the Route out of Pallet Town towards Viridian City. When reaching the border, he let Genesis and Comet out of their Pokeballs.

"Char Char!"

"Magby!"

"Alright guys." said Lucas, taking out his lollipop to talk. "Comet, you're the new guy, so listen to Genesis. Now we're
off to Viridian City. We may run into trouble on the way. So lets watch eachothers backs. Okay?"

Got it, Emerald!, said Genesis. Comet looked at Genesis puzzeldly. "Char?"
Special part of the bond. You may learn it one day, kid., Genesis said to Comet.

Lucas put the lollipop back in his mouth, said "Now lets go!", as he and his Pokemon started down the path.

Now, Lucas has started his Journey to find the Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo. But what else will happen to him on his Quest? Keep on Reading, Pokemon: Emerald Quest!
