Hi there! I'm Link 2000. Although I have
had a long break from them, this is my 10th fanfiction. This series
(the second instalment now) is one is all about a trainer who begins his
training career in New Bark Town in Johoto. It is based on the Pokemon Gold/Silver
games, which have just been released in England (where I come from). They
inspired me to write this fic. Anyway please read and review. I really love
comments. Thanks a lot.
Continuation policy: Ever since I
started writing fanfics, I have kept to my user-friendly policy. At the end of
this fic. Review it, giving me some ideas as to what I should put in my next
chapter, so what you see may be more like what you want. As there are lots of
Pokemon battles in these fics, I have decided to have unique trainers. One way
of this is including other fanfiction authors and reviewers and using them and
there favourite Pokemon (maybe from the games) as trainers. These ideas have
worked well in the past. If you want to be included or tell me what should happen
next, simply include all of this information in your review. Well, that's about
it… Enjoy!
Dedication: This fic is dedicated to a guy who I sort of know in reality who gave me the will to continue fanfics. Thanks Ellis!
JOHOTO JOURNEY Part 2
Story so far: Link, a thirteen year old boy, has just left his home area of New Bark Town to be a Pokemon trainer, he chose a Chickorita as his Pokemon from Professor Elm, the town's leading Pokemon expert. With his new friend, he embarks from his Town. Along to the route to Cherrygrove City…
Link walked through the long grass. It was densely packed together and
Link had absolutely no idea of what lived in this grass. He had been walking
for an hour or so, his feet felt tired. He groaned. Being a Pokemon trainer
didn't seem so easy. Ahead of him, he saw a large rock. He gasped and ran up to
it. He thought that it would be good if he rested there for a while.
Sweating. Link sat on the boulder, staring up at the sky. After two
hours of walking, he hadn't encountered any Pokemon yet, so he scanned the sky
for any Pidgeys or Spearows. He was so exhausted that he didn't realise that he
couldn't catch a Pokemon that was one hundred feet higher up than him. He
sighed and took a sandwich from his backpack. He was about to eat it when he
heard something. Some sort of snuffling sound. The small rock that he was
sitting on that was stuck inside the boulder started jiggling. Thinking that
the rock was just loose, Link got back to his sandwich. But once again, he
heard snuffling, suddenly, the rock underneath him shot upwards and grabbed his
sandwich. Link almost fainted from the shock. A rock taking his food? Then he
caught hold of his senses and looked at the thief. It was a strange looking
rock, Link had to admit, he never knew that rocks had arms, or that they
floated, also, this one had a face.
Link stared blackly at the rock. Wondering what it was, and why it was
eating his lunch. He stared at it for a whole minute (he was pretty stupid),
before it dawned upon him to use his brand new Pokedex. He took it out, flicked
it open and pressed a button. He suddenly heard a mechanical voice speaking…
Geodude. The rock Pokemon. The Pokemon is entirely composed of rock. It may have a warlike attitude so must be approached with extreme caution.
"Extreme caution huh?" Said Link, he imagined his enemies faces when
they battled a Pokemon with extreme caution. He grinned and shut his Pokedex.
He knew what had to be done. He was going to catch the Geodude. He reached
behind his back and took out his one filled Pokeball. Pressing the button to
ready it, he threw it with a cry of "Chickorita. GO!" His Pokemon burst out.
Raring for its first battle.
"Chickorita, use tackle!"
"Chickooooorita! (OK Link)" The Grass Pokemon lunged at the Geodude. The
rock was obviously very young and inexperienced, as it made no move to dodge.
Nevertheless, Chickorita's tackle seemed to hurt itself more than the Geodude.
But Link's Pokemon only knew tackle and growl.
"Duuude!" Shouted the enemy Pokemon, lunging at Chickorita, knocking him
flat with his own tackle attack.
"Try to hang on Chickorita!" Link pleaded, "Try growl!"
"CHICKOOOOORIITAAA!" Chickorita roared, it made a sound that made Link
himself flinch. He looked and saw the Geodude clutching its head with its eyes
tight shut. It was shaking as if trying to get something out of itself. Link
knew that it was the sound wave. He looked at his Chickorita with pride. Then
his look got serious. He knew what to go. He reached behind himself and took
out a Pokeball, readied then got ready to throw.
"GO POKEBALL!" He shouted. He threw the spinning ball at the Geodude. It
struck it and the Geodude was thrown into it. The ball struck to rock and
bounced down onto the soft soil. Link looked at the ball. One shake, two
shakes, three shakes. After what seemed like an eternity, the ball finally
stopped shaking and lay still, the red light off. He had caught Geodude.
Not exactly realising what had happened in those last five minutes. Link
jumped off the rock, and picked up the Pokeball. He stared at the ball for a
little while. Then, a grin broke out onto his face, he jumped onto the boulder,
looked up at the sky, and hollered;
"YEAH! I CAUGHT GEODUDE!" He then looked over at his tired Chickorita –
Tired after losing its voice after its growl attack, and after having its head
knocked badly by its own attack. "Hey Chickorita, are you OK?"
"Chickorita Chick… Chick Rita! (What? Oh yeah fine… YOU GO AND SCREAM
LOUDLY AND BASH YOUR HEAD AGAINST A ROCK!)"
"I wish I could understand you, said Link, but, I can't. Return
Chickorita!" With that, he called his victories Pokemon back. Just as he was
putting in his belt next to Geodude, his Pokedex started talking and flashing…
Chickorita has learnt a new attack – Razor Leaf. This attack showers the enemy with razor-sharp leafs. A special grass-type move.
Grass type? Link thought to himself. Oh yeah, Chickorita's a grass type.
Interesting. He climbed back on the rock, and quickly dialled a number on his
PokeGear.
"Ring Ring! Click! Hello?"
"Hi there Professor Elm!
It's me, Link!"
"Ah! Good day Link! Any news?"
"There sure is Professor! I caught a Geodude!"
"What? In an open field? Really?"
"Well, that is important I
must say!"
Link heard keys being typed in on a computer. "That's going on record!
Thanks a lot for your help Link. G'bye! Click! Dooooor!"
Link turned off his Pokegear. Only two and a half
hours into his journey, and he had helped Prof. Elm in his discoveries. He
smiled to himself. He stood up and looked at the horizon. He was a bit shocked
when he saw Cherrygrove City begin just about a mile away from him, and he
hadn't noticed it before. He had to admit to himself. He was pretty stupid.
