Pokemon Virus Version Chapter 2: A Vixen's Entrance (Rewrite)
Hey people, well I will being introducing another one of the main characters of my story in this chapter. An important reminder: This story can potentially be a long and dragged out series, so don't be surprised if this passes the century mark in chapters because that is what I plan on doing.
Okay, so where do I start? Oh yeah, my name is Yumi and I dream of nothing less than becoming a celebrity in Pokemon Pop Culture. Top Coordinators are considered celebrities, so I decided to focus on Pokemon Contests to make my dream a reality.
Now less about my goals and more about me. I am thirteen years old and I come from Olivine City. I have long, black hair with two aqua blue bangs that go past my ears. I wear a short skirted, aqua blue furisode with some black short shorts. I also wear black, thigh high sock, and blue high top shoes.
I was just accompanied to the Pokemon Lab by my mother. We were in the middle of saying our goodbyes.
"Sweetie, you be careful. Follow your dreams, and don't hesitate to visit the house back in Olivine," Mother said.
I nodded in agreement as we hugged and said our final goodbyes. We parted ways as I approached the Pokemon Lab to receive my first pokemon, but what I didn't expect was approaching the scene of a broken window. A man stood in front of the window, staring at it with shock as he despaired.
"Not again," The man sighed as he closed his eyes.
"What happened here?" A guy asked as he approached the coated man.
The boy looked to be around my age. He had dark navy colored hair that went down to his neck, and had two rather larger blonde bangs across the right side of his face.
"The name's Seth," The boy said. "I was scheduled to receive my first pokemon today?"
"Oh, me too!" I yelled excited as I raised my hand to the sky.
"You are correct, Seth," The man said. "However, the pokemon that were supposed to be given to you two were stolen just a few minutes ago.
Seth sighed, but his emotion didn't surface.
"Aw man," I said in a annoyed tone.
The man in the white coat then faced me.
"Miss, may I have your name?" The man asked.
"Lady Yumi, reporting for duty, Sir!" I yelled as I cheered myself up.
I don't know why, but Seth looked at me annoyed as his eyes narrowed. I wonder what he's thinking?
"I am Professor Elm, you two," The coated man said.
The man then grabbed his chin as he hesitated to speak.
"I do have one other pokemon that could be given to a trainer, I suppose," Professor Elm said as both Seth and I nodded, understanding what he was saying. "The bad news is only one of you will receive the pokemon."
Professor Elm then looked at Seth.
"Seth, I do apologize for any inconvenience, but since Yumi arrived here shortly before you did, she will be receiving the final pokemon," Professor Elm said.
Bummer...Well, it IS 'ladies first' after all. But Seth did not appear to be upset upon hearing Professor Elm's words. He just kept that same, indifferent expression on his face.
"Hmph," Seth said. "Well, can I at least get the pokeballs and pokedex?"
"Sure," Professor Elm said as he smiled. "It's the least I could do . Think of it as an apology for this most troublesome inconvenience."
"Police should be here in a few minutes," Professor Elm said as he started inside the lab. "In a mean time, I shall give to you the proper tools needed for your journey, should you follow me."
"Alright! So in the lab we go!" I said as I raised my fist to the sky.
Seth's POV
Could this day be any more of a drag? I...I am not upset by the unfortunate turn of events. But why? How?
I put my hand on my chest.
Where...Where is my heart?
My mind began to wonder about the condition of what was left of my heart. That was, until I felt a hand touch my shoulder. Yumi had touched me and started speaking with her abnormally loud voice.
"How are you not upset?" Yumi asked. "I mean, it's not everyday someone get's snubbed like that."
"Even..." I said as I started to follow the professor. "Even I don't know..."
"Man, what a downer," Yumi whispered to herself. "Wait, I know!"
Yumi ran up to me and grabbed my arm only to start pulling me into the lab (Even I have problems with people who don't know about personal space).
"I'll make it up to you. I'll help you capture you're first pokemon.' Yumi said with enthusiasm. "We'll be perfect on a journey together."
I pulled my hand back, putting them both in my pockets before replying.
"Sure, why not?" I said flatly as we caught up with the professor. "Now let's continue, shall we?"
As the professor noted, only one pokeball was set on the table, ready for Yumi to receive. Without word, Professor Elm grabbed the pokeball and released the pokemon kept inside. The pokemon wasn't one of the starters as advertised, but it certainly was a familiar one. The brown fox was a bit more common back in Sinnoh.
"Aww," Yumi said in an affectionate tone as her eyes glittered. "It's so cute."
"The Evolution, Eevee," The professor said.
(Yes, I now know how Eevee starters are cliched and overused.)
"Vee," Eevee cried as it smiled.
"Can't say I'm surprised," I said calmly.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yumi asked with a curious expression on her face.
"He's referring to a then-Pokemon League Champion who's first pokemon was an Eevee," Professor Elm said.
I nodded in agreement.
"Then I guess top tier IS our destiny," Yumi said as she picked up Eevee and started nuzzling him affectionately.
I then turned to the professor as he brought out twelve pokeballs and two pokedexes.
"I believe this routine is well known by now," Professor Elm said. "Must I explain how these devices work?"
"No, thank you," I said.
I then turned toward Yumi as she grabbed a powder blue colored pokedex while still holding Eevee.
"Oh my Arceus, Eevee! This looks like the latest portable gaming system," Yumi said with enthusiasm
Yumi continued rambling as her words soon became background noise to me as I took and observed my own Pokedex. My pokedex was navy blue with a gold lining to the system. Surpisingly, Yumi wasn't rambling about her description on the Pokedex's design; It actually did look like the latest portable gaming console. My mind was once again wondering, but that abruptly came to an end when Yumi suddenly grabbed my arm again and started speaking.
"Come on! Quit being so quiet," she continued as she dragged me out of the lab. "It's time for me to help you catch your first pokemon."
Yumi left Eevee outside of it's pokeball for the time being. She still held on to my arm, but I decided to let it be because I didn't want to waste my time on someone who had the energy to catch me ten times.
We made our way out the lab with Yumi rambling as usual before she caught site of a Flamethrower attack aimed toward the sky coming from the outskirts of New Bark Town.
"Well-," I said before I was interrupted by, no surprise, it's none other than the rambler Yumi.
"- That could be a wild Pokemon! Come on!", she said as she dragged me toward the beginning of my journey and what could be my first Pokemon.
Alright so there's chapter 2. Next chapter we will fill some plotholes with some returning characters from chapter 1. Please comment and stay tuned in.
Update 4/6/14
Okay, so I'm rereading my early chapters and MAN is the grammar horrid. So I apologize for the grammar and spelling. I'm working on rereading right now to fix this problem
