Author's Notes
Before we start I want to address a review I got on the previous chapter saying it felt like a recap of the game with extra dialogue. Normally I don't do this but I'm sure many people though that so I feel I need to address it. I know that's how ot came across as that's how I was intending it to be.
Ok guys my rant is over. I apologise for the delay in the chapter it's taken me so long to upload the new chapter I was procrasting on uploading it. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy.
I saw Bianca standing there waiting for me. "Hey. So why did you I want me to meet you here?" I asked. "So I could help you catch your first Pokémon." she told me as she handed me 10 Pokeballs. I then wandered into the tall grass. After a few steps a Patrat appeared in front of me and growled. Zelen jumped of my shoulder and used tackle on the Patrat. "Now that you've weakened it throw a Pokéball at it". Bianca told me. I threw a Pokéball at the Patrat. The ball hit it and shook a few times before letting out a click sound to signify the capture was successful. "Congrats Chase on your first capture." Bianca said cheerfully. I nodded my thanks as I picked up the Pokéball. I then heard Bianca answer her Xtransceiver. Once her call was finished she turned to me and said "I gotta go hopefully I'll see you around Chase". And with that she ran off before I could say goodbye. Once she was out of sight I let out the Patrat I'd just caught. "So why did you decide to attack me?" I asked her. "Because I wanna get stronger and the only way to do that is to get caught by trainers." she responded. "Well I can help you with that." I responded with a smile. "You can understand me? I wasn't aware humans had the ability to understand us." She mused aloud in surprise. I then asked "So do you have a name?" The Patrat nodded then answered "My name is Shimone and it is a pleasure to meet you". I smiled then responded "My name is Chase," I tossed the pokeball on my belt letting out Bronzor, who let out a cry of joy upon seeing me, "and this is my old friend Bronzor". "I'm Zelen." Zelen said from his spot around my neck. The four of us then headed to Floccesy Town in a comfortable silence. "So what do you plan to do on this journey Chase?" Shimone asked me curiously after walking for about 20 minutes of silence. I took a moment to gather my thoughts then answered "Truthfully I'm not sure. I've always wanted to take a Pokémon journey but never thought what I'd do on the journey". "But didn't you agree to help this Professor fill up the Pokédex?" Zelen asked me curiously. I nodded then answered " I did but that was the only way she'd agree to let me take a journey". "Why your mother against you taking a journey?" Shimone asked me. "She used to work in a Pokémon as a nurse and she saw a number of trainers come in with their Pokémon on the brink of death and what happened to the trainers when they weren't able to heal their Pokémon in time. I guess she didn't want that to happen to me." I said with a sigh. Just then we heard something that put an end to the conversation.
"Hello down there." A voice called out. I looked up and saw a man with a mass of flaming orange hair standing up on a cliff. He then jumped down the cliff and landed in front of me. I raised an eyebrow while I heard Zelen quietly mutter "What a show offey human". "Howdy there young trainer. The name's Alder." The man in front of me said as he introduced himself to me. "I'm Chase Graceson." I responded introducing myself to him. "You're quite the fresh faced trainer. You should follow me." Alder said to me as he walked off indicating I should follow him. I recalled Shimone and Bronzor as I followed after Alder. As we walked I asked "Is it that obvious I'm a new trainer?" He nodded and responded "Yeah the look in your eyes and the air about you indicates that to me". I nodded and we walked in silence to Floccesy Town. About half an hour later we arrive in front of a house on the edge of town that had a Pokémon battle field in front of it. Alder turned to me and said with a smile "Well young Chase follow me inside and you will learn things a young trainer needs". I smiled politely then asked "Before I do could you answer a question for me?" Alder nodded and gave me the go ahead. "I'm looking for a friend of mine. He has blue hair, about my height, wears a red jumper and blue pants. He may have had a Tepig by his side. I have a town map from his sister to give to him". Alder thought for a moment then a look recognition crossed his face and he answered with a smile "Oh yes I know who you're talking about. He ran past here about an hour ago and seemed to be heading towards Floccesy Ranch. Very well go give your friend the map. The wisdom I have to impart can wait," he then pointed down the road and continued "to get to Floccesy Ranch head down Route 20 and then go north and you'll arrive at Floccesy Ranch". I nodded my thanks and headed off down Route I walked down Route 20 I let out Shimone and Bronzor. As soon as Shimone was out she climbed up onto my shoulder while Bronzor just floated above my head and we walked to Floccesy Ranch in a comfortable silence. After we had made it partway through the route I heard a voice yell out to me "Hey you with the Pokétrio around him!" I looked around and saw a kid who looked about 12 with a Patrat by his side pointing at me. I walked over too him and asked politely "Are talking to me kid?" "Noooooo I'm talking to the other guy with three Pokémon. Of course I'm talking to you." The kid told me sarcastically. I refrained from sighing in annoyance and asked "So what do you want kid?" "Name's Terrel and I'm the best trainer in these parts. I'm challenging you to a battle." Terrel said rather smugly. I sighed knowing there was no backing out now "Fine but there are better ways to ask someone to battle." I told him. "Whatever dude, just pick Rasha's next victim." Terrel told me arrogantly. I sighed again and looked over my Pokémon. I could tell with a glance that Shimone wasn't strong enough, Zelen gave me a look that said I took the last one use someone else so that left only one choice. "Bronzor you're up." I told it. Bronzor floated into battle happily. "Alright Rasha, let us take these chumps down. Use tackle." Terrel commanded. Rasha jumped into Bronzor and Bronzor barely reacted to the attack. I just stood there internally freaking out trying to figure out what moves Bronzor knew. I felt Zelen move off my neck and into my backpack making me wonder what he was doing but I didn't have long to wonder as Terrel's Patrat attacked Bronzor again with tackle. I then felt Zelen on my shoulder and he waved something in my face and hissed "Look at it". I saw that Zelen was waving my Pokédex in front of my face so I looked at the Pokédex screen and saw that it had four different options. The first option was Pokédex Information, the second was Pokemon Status, the third was Battle information and the last was Theme Options. I tapped on the second option and saw it had six options but only three were available. I saw that each available option was named after my team as well as their gender and a rough estimation of their health. I then tapped on the Bronzor icon and my Pokédex showed me Bronzor's known moves, location met and its estimated stats. I quickly saw Bronzor's moves and quickly yelled out "Bronzor, quick use confusion". Bronzor's eyes glowed and Terrel's Patrat went up and then was slammed into the ground making it faint instantly. Terrel looked at me in shock then stammered out "You-you-you one hit KO'd me". "You should take your Patrat to the Pokémon Centre. Would you like me to take you to Floccesy Town?" I asked him. He shook his head, picked up his Patrat and answered "No but thank you for the offer". He then walked off towards Floccesy Town. As I watched him walk off I felt something land on my head. I looked up and saw a Pidove lon my head."That was a wonderful battle human. Not only did you beat that brat but you humbled him too. Most impressive. I wish to join you." It said. I looked up and responded "The name is Chase Graceson not human and I would love to have you on board. Do you have a name?" "A human who can understand pokéspeech how interesting. And my name is Lisbeth." She responded. I tapped a Pokéball to her head and she went into the Pokéball then it made a click sound indicating the capture was successful. I then introduced her to the rest of the team and then we continued our way to Floccesy Ranch. As we walked towards Flocessy Ranch I was staring at my Pokédex trying to figure it out. Zelen noticed me staring and said "Professor Juniper designed it not only to function as a Pokédex but also as a tool to help her assistants in battle as they usually end up being I have no idea why". I nodded in understanding not being able to question further as I saw Cameron standing at the entrance of Floccesy Ranch.
