Time for the next chapter, and time for the Eds to get thier starters! Hope you enjoy!
In Double D's backyard the trio and Double D's Rotom phone as his grandmother called it were holding the pokeballs. "Alright, to release the Pokémon just press the button in the middle and toss the ball, then you'll make your choice."
Double D pressed the buttons on his spheres while Ed did the same before tossing them, in an instant three creatures were brought out of the ball in an instant.
The first had a green colored body, brown tail and ears, and orange limbs and snout. It has two large eyes, with a beige-colored mask surrounding them. It has two leaf-shaped hair tufts on the top of its head which held a stick which it pulled out.
The second was a rabbit-like having a predominantly white body with orange and yellow markings on its ears, toes, and neck. It had buckteeth, an orange nose and irises, as well as a yellow band-shape across its nose. It's ong legs with long feet had the same yellow band on its nose under each paw pad.
The final had light blue skin with darker teal patches and a lighter blue belly and face. It had similar teal eyes with white pupils. It also had a yellow fin-like protrusion from the top of its head bordered in dark blue, as well as a curled blue tail tipped in the same dark blue. It has thin limbs, each ending in two thin appendages.
The three Pokémon looked around before running off to play. The monkey immediately climbing up a tree, the Lizard diving into a bird bath and the bunny just running around creating small bits of fire around it.
The Monkey started to whack an apple with its stick, while the Lizard spat out some water from its mouth accidentally scaring the bunny causing it to leap and knock the monkey and it's fruit down.
The fruit landed in the pond scaring the Lizard as leapt out of the pond and started to cry, but the other two Pokémon seemed to comfort it making it feel better.
"These are the starter Pokémon of my home region, the one on the left is Grookey the grass type Pokémon, the one in the middle is Sobble the water type Pokémon, and the one on the right is the fire type Scorbunny." Professor Magnolia explained.
"Since its Double D's birthday he should take the first choice." Eddy grumbled at that, but didn't want to ruin this for himself so he kept quiet.
"Hmm, I suppose the water starter seems interesting, I've made my decision." Sobble hopped into Double D's arms nuzzling him.
Ed grabbed the monkey who seemed to like one of his death hugs unlike most people. "The Grass monkey is mine!" He said blissfully.
Eddy looked at Scorbunny who looked a bit annoyed. "I guess you're with me." Both of them gave a half hearted hi five.
"Nice to see you're acquainted with your starters, would you like to give them nicknames?" Magnolia asked curiously.
"Well I suppose James would be an alright name for you Sobble." The Sobble now named James shook his head excitedly.
"I shall name you Kong! After one of my favorite movie monsters!" Ed said to Grookey who seemed to like the name.
"Uh.. maybe Jack cause you're a jackrabbit?" Eddy's response was a small kick to the face and annoyed stare from Scorbunny.
"Sorry Eddy, this scourbunny is female, I should've warned you about that sooner." Magnolia apologized.
"Now you tell me.." he said rubbing his sore cheek. "How about Willow then, is that better?"
Willow seemed much calmer than before and nodded, making Eddy somewhat relieved.
"Now Double D, point your Rotom phone at the starters, it has one extra feature that you might like." Magnoila asked
Double D pointed it at James as a picture of James appeared on the phone with an electronic voice starting to speak.
"Sobble, The Water Lizard Pokémon: When it gets wet, its skin changes color, and this Pokémon becomes invisible as if it were camouflaged."
Magnolia spoke up again "Your Phone also functions as a pokedex, a virtual encyclopedia of the Pokemon you'll encounter on your journey."
Edd beamed at the device in his hand. "A whole encyclopedia that I can fit in my pocket, amazing…"
Curious he scanned Kong and Willow to see their entries.
"Scorbunny The Rabbit Pokémon: It has special pads on the backs of its feet, and one on its nose. Once it's raring to fight, these pads radiate tremendous heat."
"Grookey the Chimp Pokemon: When it uses its special stick to strike up a beat, the sound waves produced carry revitalizing energy to the plants and flowers in the area."
"Now that you're acquainted with your starters, you should spend the next few days getting used to them and do some small training this Rotom phone will help you with that, before you three go on your plane to Glalar, make sure to pack as well, I'll see you when you arrive." Magnolia waved goodbye as the video chat ended.
Over the past three days the Ed's trained their Pokemon in private, they didn't want the cul de sacers to find out about their Pokémon.
They soon understood the basics of battling and at least once a day battled each other for fun.
As for the three starters they liked being with the Ed's, James liked Double D's calmer personality which kinda helped him mellow out and to not be a cry baby all the time, Kong enjoyed tapping his stick on some of Ed's stuff and the boy liked hearing his little buddies Music.
As for Willow and Eddy thier relationship started a bit rough with both of them seeming indifferent to each other and there were moments of tension between the two. However they seemed to bond.
It was really rough keeping the mons a secret from their other cul de sac kids, mostly keeping them in their balls to not reveal them, however the cul de sacers were fine with the Eds absences from their lives.
But their patience paid off when they saw the tickets arrive in Double D's mailbox, as Double D read over the times displayed with the flight being at 7:30 in the morning. While Eddy and Ed seemed disgruntled with the time, they wanted to start their adventure no matter what.
Later that night after eating dinner, and taking a shower the Trio were packing their things for the long trip in the morning.
Ed shoved some buttered toast, Kong's pokeball, some gravy cakes, his favorite comics, chunky puffs and extra clothes into his school bag and lastly put baron von beef dip inside the bag as a good luck charm. After putting on his blue and white pajamas he plopped down on his bed and instantly snored away, dreaming of him training his own team of monsters.
Double D packed the essentials, a first aid kit, Jame's pokeball, some energy bars, his label maker, a journal to record his thoughts, his laptop, some extra clothes and hats and even some extra money. All of which he put neatly in his school bag. He then set his alarm clock for 5:30 to get his friends in the morning and soon fell asleep, dreaming of the scientific breakthroughs he could discover in this new land.
Eddy packed some of his brothers "magazines", Willow's pokeball, some of his extra clothes, and some water in his school bag that had a dollar sign. He then made some sandwiches for the road. Afterwards he put on his purple T shirt and yellow boxers and went to sleep, dreaming about the Cul de sac kids are going to be sorry in a couple months.
The next morning Double D woke up first and got the other Eds up begrudgingly, it was only after walking into town and sitting at a bus stop they decided to talk.
"So where are we going at this hour Double D I'm tired!" Eddy complained as he was still a bit tired, scratch that exhausted, he didn't like waking up early for school, why would he like waking up earlier.
"Ed wants his monster!" Ed was pretty anxious but not without reason, he wanted to get to galar and find more monsters, ever since that talk with Magnolia a week ago.
"Well we need to get to the airport, and since we can't drive yet so the most suitable option is taking the bus there." Double D calmly explained while reading a schedule.
"Besides Eddy none of the other cul de sac kids are up at this hour, so it's best to leave now than later and risk them finding out." Double D reminded Eddy who grumbled, while he hated to admit it, Double D was right.
Soon the vehicle arrived and Double D took out some quarters from his pocket and paid for the ride to the airport, meanwhile Eddy was shocked at the fact that Double D had spare change on him.
"Wait you actually had money? Well why don't you use it to buy us jawbreakers?" He asked demanding an answer from his friend as they took their seats.
"If you must know eddy, this is from an emergency fund from my parents, and I don't have much to spend on such inexpensive things." Double D explained as he and Ed settled in for their ride.
After that explanation Eddy grumbled as he took his seats the bus started its journey. After a 20 minute drive the trio arrived at the airport, showed their tickets from Magnolia and went onto the Plane.
Once they got on the plane they were told that it would be a long ride to Galar, around 10 hours at least! Much to Eddy's annoyance, things were just there to piss him off today were they?
With that the eds went to their seats, Ed and Eddy plopped on their seats and started to snooze due to waking up early, while Double D read a nearby trainers manual to keep him busy. But as Eddy drifted off he thought of the journey he and his friends were about to have, and what a journey it will be…
And That's it, i'll do the party data thing soon, i've been busy writing ahead, if you have any suggestions for the eds (And the Cul De sac kids No sarah and jimmy though) please keep them in the comments.
