So here's where things kinda diverge from canon a bit, you'll see in a sec, as for Reviews:
Engineer1869: Yea Willow doesn't hate her trainer, but she has a bad opinion of him for now. As for your ideas, Ed will have pokemon fitting that idea, two cut pokemon for him were Clefable (They're aliens) and Alcremie (He'd love a sweet pokemon.) Eddy however, I like the idea of him having a team of underdogs, but I feel some of the pokemon would be more of interest. As for the Cul De sacers, well for thier first caught pokemon in the wild area you got the typing for the most part right.
Through the next couple of hours the trio mostly talked read magazines and occasionally getting food from planes stewardess. Getting more eager for their journey by the minute.
It was almost night time when they arrived in this new region as Eddy leaped off the planes stairs stretching ready for action "Fame and Fortune here we come!"
Edd came down the steps his nose deep in a trainers manual "We should at least visit professor Magnolia she would like to know if we arrived.."
Ed hopped down from the door and slammed into the ground. "I can't wait to get my starter guys!" He sprang back up excitedly running around his friends.
After converting Double D's money to Pokedollers and going to a town by a flying taxi the Eds were off on their adventure.
"So where's your grandma sockhead?" Eddy asked Double D as he was looking at a map on his rotom phone.
"Well we are close, we're in Postwick town, we need to get to Wedgehurst which is where her lab is located, we need to go to the next town." Double D said as the trio walked through town.
The town was small but it was quiet to compensate, it made the boys walk through it a bit more calm, especially with the blue sky turning into a reddish dusk.
They soon passed through a small path to a nearby town which had a crowd of people surrounding a young man in his early 20's dressed in a cap and cape with a draconic Pokemon next to him.
The crowd cheered when he struck a stylish pose much to the Eds confusion. "Who's this loon?" Eddy stated bluntly.
"Hello hello Wedgehurst! Your champion Leon has returned!" He told the crowd who cheered. "I promise I'll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for all of you to watch!" The crowd gave various cheers as a boy and a small lizard pokemon ran up to the crowd.
"Well thank you for that! I hope you'll carry on training up your Pokemon and never shy from battle!" Leon advised. "Then come and challenge me for the champion title!"
That seemed to ignite a fire in Eddy's eyes as he took it personal. One of the crowd members commented on Leon's signature pokemon. "But that Charizard of yours is too strong to take on!"
Curious Double D scanned the fire dragon. "Charizard the Flame pokemon: It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It may cause forest fires by blowing flames."
"Such power…" Edd said shocked. As Ed and the boy that showed up seemed to be fanboying over the big dragon.
"Too true that Charizard is blazingly strong. But other Pokemon can be strong as well!" Leon started. "This is why I want the strongest of trainers to fill the gym challenge and come challenge me!" He boasted.
"My wish is for Galar's Trainers to work together to become the strongest in the world!" He finished with Charizard giving a powerful roar with the crowd cheering like mad.
The boy and lizard ran through the now dispersing crowd excitedly. "Lee!"
Leon perked up upon seeing the boy. "Hop!" the two gave each other a high five while looking excited.
"I just saw your match with Raihan, Charmander was on the edge of the seat!" Hop smiled with Charmander giving a small roar.
"Aw thanks bro, can't believe you're taking the gym challenge now, remember if you make it to me, I won't hold back!" Leon smiled.
"Of course Lee! And I'll be ready!" Hop looked pumped.
The brothers reunion was interrupted with a thud, Ed tripped as he went to Leon. "Hello champion I am Ed!" he said offering a small hand to the champ.
"Uh.. always nice to meet a fan…" he shook Eds hand. "Excuse my friend we're new and looking for Professor Magnolia we need to visit her." Edd curiously asked.
Leon seemed to understand. "Ah you guys are the Eds, well welcome to Galar! Magnolia is excited to see you, I probably gave you my introduction, but this is my little brother Hop and soon a gym challenger."
Hop shook the Eds hands and got shocked by Eddy's joybuzzer causing the short boy to chuckle. "Classic." he smiled.
"I guess you guys are my rivals then, well aside from my brother of course." Hop smirked as he shook off the ash on him, however Ed remembered something that Eddy boasted about before..
"Oh oh! Eddy has a brother and he's so cool!" Ed stated causing Eddy to freeze up. "Uh yea he's cool…" He muttered.
Leon clapped breaking the awkward silence. "Anyways before we go to her place, do you three know how to catch a Pokemon?" Leon asked curious.
"No my grandmother just gave us our starters unfortunately." Double D admitted. Leon nodded "It's simple, you lower the Pokemon's HP and toss a pokeball to catch it, it's not hard, it's just the fight that'll be a bit difficult."
Leon pointed to the nearby field "Why don't you catch a mon over there in route one, I got some spare pokeballs on me." He handed 3 pokeballs to each of the Eds who took them. "Just come back when your ready and we'll head to Magnolias."
The trio nodded and ran off as Hop and his brother recapped on what was going on in their lives.
The Ed's were soon wandering through route 1 looking for potential additions for their team. However the flocks of Rookidies and the occasional nickit weren't interesting, however something rolled out of the grass and into Ed.
"Ah! Enemy fire!" Ed said in fear from the sudden tackle, the shape rolled back to reveal a small sheep like Pokemon with a huge amount of wool around it.
"Wow a sheep, no thanks." Eddy dismissed it boredly as Edd used his pokedex to scan it.
"Wooloo the sheep pokemon: Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed." Edd was impressed by its durability.
"Hmm reminds me of Ed a little bit." Edd chuckled
Ed seemed to like it though. "Cool a sheep ball of destruction!" Tossing out Grookey he was ready for battle.
"Kong, poke the sheep with your stick!" Kong nodded and ran up to the sheep and lightly tapped it with a stick.
The sheep reacted by pushing the Grookey back with a tackle hurting the small monkey and knocking him back to Ed.
The Wooloo curled up which increased it's defense, "Now use your claws to scratch the sheep and break it's shield!"
Kong nodded and leaped on the sheep scratching it and causing it to uncurl looking weak from the attacks.
Ed tossed his pokeball sucking up the small sheep and landing on the ground it shook once twice, and one final time before clicking signifying a capture.
"The sheep is mine!" Ed smiled holding the ball above his head triumphantly.
"Congratulations Ed on your first capture. I suppose I should capture something myself." Double D mused as he wandered into the grass as Eddy looked impatient. "Alright but hurry up! We got places to be."
Edd looked in the wild grass and found a small caterpillar pokemon Double D's interest in bugs was brought up, he scanned it.
"Caterpie the Worm pokemon: Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls."
"Fascinating! Seems like a worthy addition." Double D sent out James, who still looked nervous. "Water gun James!"
The sobble nodded and shot a small stream of water from its mouth hitting the mon, which retailed by shooting a silky silk from it's mouth covering James in it.
Using the opportunity of the Caterpie attacking Double D tried to capture the small worm, with a toss and sucking Caterpie inside, with 3 shakes of a pokeball it was added to Double D's party.
"Success!" He said picking up the pokeball and walking back to his two friends. "Great you caught your mon, can we get moving, we gotta meet with the champ!" Eddy said tapping his foot.
"To the caped man we go!" Ed stated as the Eds headed back to Wedgehurst. After looking around for a few seconds they found Leon looking confused.
"Alright was it here? Or was it on route 2?" He mumbled as his charizard growled in amusement as it pointed to a nearby building.
"Ugh it was right in front of us!" Leon said frustrated. "Why didn't you tell me!" Leon's charizard gave a throaty laugh, cleary it like it's trainer's lack of direction.
Leon after calming down, looked ahead and saw the Eds returning from route 1 and towards him. "Well done, You reached the goal and managed to reach the pokemon research lab!" He told the boys.
Ed held up his Wooloo's pokeball "I caught myself a sheep, I shall name it Mary!" He said to Leon.
"I caught a Caterpie I'll name it Monarch." Double D said showing "Monarch's" Pokeball.
"Nice job for your first catch, anyways you did a far sight better than my first time, I'm horrible with directions." Leon sighed annoyed that he got lost… again.
"I'm at least glad to have Charizard to help me with Directions… even if he'll trick me on them." Charizard gave a firey smirk which made the Eds feel uneasy.
"Geez if looks could kill." Eddy muttered as the four walked into the lab with Leon returning Charizard.
So yea Hop has a charmander, that basically is the charmander Leon gives the player after beating him, considering the Eds got all three starters at once i'd figure i'd throw Hop a bone, now here's a question for the viewers what starter should I give kevin? (It has to be one of the Galar starters at least) Since I thought of who Nazz, Rolf and Jhonny get, anyways please read and review.
