Accident ~Beginning

Radic knew nothing about Pokémon when he started except that Red knew more about it then he did. And that was something he intended to change.
Radic was only 10 back then, and already he was very jealous of Red. Red who always acted like he knew more. Red who said he would be a master before him. Red, whose birthday came before his by two weeks. Red who would start before him.
Radic fumed as he stood in line, waiting for his journey to begin. He would show Red who was the idiot! Even if Red had a head start, Radic would get his Pokémon and beat him! Radic smiled at the thought of Red in defeat. But there was always that little voice in his head that told him that that would never happen.
But he would never listen.
"Good morning!" Prof. Oak said cheerfully as Red walked up to the counter. Red nodded.
"Um...I'm Radic. I'm here for-"
"Yes yes, your parents already told me all about it. Your rival is Red, isn't it? Here." Prof. Oak took out a small box that had three balls in a row on it. There was a small machine imbedded on the right side of the box.
"Pick up one of the Pokéballs and it will tell you whats inside. That way, you'll know a little bit about what you pick. It can help you decide. When you decide what you want, press the button on the front. That'll release the Pokémon and signify that that is the one you want."
Radic was never one for making a hasty decision before hearing all the options. He decided he would listen to all of them, then make his decision. After all, this choice could affect his whole life. He picked up the first one.
"Charmander..." the machine said in it's mechanical voice. Radic jumped slightly. It continued, regardless of the young trainer's reaction. "A Fire Pokémon. It's tail is constantly on fire. Charmander is weak at first, but evolves into a powerful Charizard."
Radic thought. He didn't know which Pokémon Red had picked as his first Pokémon. He had to choose well. He remembered Red saying something about how certain elements had advantages over other types. He couldn't remember what had advantage to what...
Radic wasn't in the mood for something that could burn him. It sounded too dangerous. He put the pokéball back.
"Charmander Rejected."
Radic felt slightly guilty, but knew one of the people behind him would pick it. He picked up the middle ball.
"Squirtle. A Water Pokémon. It's shell is very hard and it blasts powerful foam from it's mouth. It is slow, but has good defense."
Radic regarded this carefully. He was tempted, but remembered that there was one more he should pick. Feeling as if his time was running out already, he reached with one hand to grab the third Pokéball, not noticing that his finger was straying on Squirtle's. He didn't notice what he was doing until it was too late, and his finger pushed the button.
"Squirtle has been chosen." the machine said. Radic ignored the groans behind him from people who wanted Squirtle as he gaped.
He didn't want a Squirtle! He wanted to choose, not have a Pokémon forced on him by accident! Angry at himself, he could picture exactly what Red would say. "Ha! Such a moron like you wouldn't even know the difference! This is just the kind of thing you would do!"
Radic fumed as Prof. Oak smiled.
"Well, take good care of your Squirtle." He said cheerfully. "What do you want to call it?"
"..." Radic was still struck by this misfortune. Having chosen something that would of altered his life completly by accident...
"Well?" Prof. Oak said, sounding almost impatient.
"Accident." Radic said, looking at the Squirtle who sat on the floor, blinking. "It's name is Accident."
Prof.Oak blinked. "Are you su-"
"I'm sure! Give me what I need!" Radic suddenly said, turning to Prof. Oak. He shrugged.
"Whatever. Here's 5 Pokéballs and a Pokédex-"
"Thanks!" Radic grabbed the provisions, grabbed his Squirtle, and ran out.

"Squir squirt Squirtle squirt?" Accident said, walking along behind Radic, who was blushing furiously.
"Hey! Maybe if you hadn't named your Pokémon something stupid, you'd of won!" the mocking laughter of another trainer echoed behind him.
"C'mon Accident..." Radic said. He felt angry and embarrassed. "I'll get you more powerful and then you'll show him for laughing at you."
Accident kept walking.
"Squirt..." he said slowly.
Finally, Radic stopped walking, stopping to sit on a rock nearby. Accident hopped up next to him, patting his back.
"Squirt squir squirt squirt, tle squirtle squirt squirtle." Accident said consolingly, using it's tiny claws to pat his shoulder. Just as he expected, Radic began to softly cry. Accident sighed inwardly. This ALWAYS happened after he lost.
"I'll never beat Red..." Radic said, trying to hold back his tears. "He's so far ahead of me now...he's got more Pokémon then me...he was right...it was stupid for me to try..."
Accident pointed at himself.
"Squirt Squirtle!"
Radic smiled through his tears, placing a hand on Accident's shoulder.
"Yes, I do have you, Accident. Red can't have that." Radic said. In the short time they had spent together, Radic and Accident had bonded very much. They were good friends.
Accident nodded and pointed to a cut on it's blue skin.
"Squirtle." he said. Radic nodded.
"I'll take you to a Pokécenter. Do you want to walk or stay in the Pokéball?"
"Squir."
"Okay...stay close to me."
Radic walked along, his Squirtle walking along next to him.
"Squirtle Squirt squirtle squirt squirt squir squirt squirtle, tle squirtle!" Accident said, tugging on Radic's jeans and looking serious.
"What do you mean?" Radic asked, keeping his eyes ahead to keep them from watering.
"Tle squirtle squirtle squirt squirtle squirt squirtle..."
"You're...you're right. I really don't need to beat Red to be a master, do I?" Radic smiled weakly.
"Squirtle squirtle squirtle tle squirtle."
"And you're a master of Self-confidence, Accident?" Radic said, putting emphasis on the word Accident, "I know you want to help me and my self-esteem...but you can't...you're just a Squirtle..."
Accident flinched at the attention payed to its name. Accident sighed and looked down. Radic looked at his Pokémon and sighed himself.
"I'm sorry..." Radic said, stopping and kneeling so he could look Squirtle in the face. "I didn't mean to get angry at you. I'm just angry at Red all the time because he's always ahead of me and he always brags."
Accident looked ahead and pointed.
"Squirt."
Radic looked and saw the Pokécenter. He smiled.
"Forgive me?"
Accident nodded.
"Then come on...I'll get your shoulder fixed up..."
They walked into the center and were greeted by Nurse Joy, who smiled in recognition.
"Hello!" she said cheerfully. "Here for another check-up?"
"Accident hurt his shoulder..." Radic said. Nurse Joy giggled slightly at his name, which made Radic frown. A Chansey walked up to his Pokémon.
"Chansey?" it said happily.
"Squirtle squirt..." Accident pointed to the cut on it's shoulder. The Chansey gently took it's paw and led it off, talking to it softly.
"So...how has training been? Is...Accident-" Nurse Joy laughed again, but tried to muffle it, "any more powerful?"
"Not really...but someday he will be..." Radic said, leaning on the counter and looking at the fading shell of his Squirtle. Radic blinked and looked at Nurse Joy.
"Would you mind telling me what Red's done lately?"
Nurse Joy nodded.
"Sure!" she said. She turned to her computer and typed quickly. She turned the monitor towards him.
"Here you go. These are his stats."
Radic looked. Sure enough, Red had 16 Pokémon compared to his 1. He was already far past Viridian City, too.
"What's his current team?"
"Let me link with the Joy in Cerulean..." Nurse Joy pressed some more keys. Soon, an identical Joy's face appeared.
"Yes, sister?"
"Has Red been by?"
"Yes, and he changed his team again."
"Tell Radic about it." Nurse Joy again turned the monitor towards him. Nurse Joy smiled cheerfully, looking exactly like the Nurse Joy Radic was speaking too. Radic felt kind of awkward.
"Red was here recently. He said he just stopped to grab some Pokéballs, get healed, then off he went! He's a very speedy young man."
Radic felt jealous again. Just when he got here, Red had left! He clenched his fists.
"So...where's Accident?" the Nurse Joy on the computer said, giggling just like her sister. Radic felt angry again.
"He's getting healed."
"Funny boy, Red." Nurse Joy on the Computer said. "He just put his Squirtle in a box."
"He got a Squirtle too?!" Radic said in surprise. Then he had chosen correctly...the exact choice that would make it so neither of them had the advantage...Radic felt slight regret that he hadn't chosen the one that gave him an advantage. He had asked his Pokédex many times for advice on types, and now knew the fundamentals. Accident was both a blessing and a curse.
"Yes, he called it LilSquirt." Nurse Joy on the Computer said, looking confused. "He gives his Pokémon weird names..."
Radic thought about his own Squirtle, and thought that LilSquirt sounded perfectly normal compared to Accident.
"But in LilSquirt's place, he has a Rattata called Ratty. It's very high level, but when it came in here, it was hurt badly. So were all his Pokémon...He had a Rattata, a Spearow...A Pidgey and a Nidoran Male, I think. That's what he left with, anyway."
"Thanks, sister."
"No problem." Nurse Joy on the Computer said as her face blinked out. The Nurse Joy of Viridian looked at Radic happily.
"Is that what you wanted to know?"
"Yes, thank you very much."
"You're welcome!" Nurse Joy turned to her computer as her Chansey walked out, holding Accident's paw. Accident looked much better.
"Squirtle!" Accident said, running towards Radic and hugging his leg. Radic smiled.
"Thanks Chansey." he said to the pink Pokémon. It nodded.
"Chansey! Chansey!" it said cheerfully. Radic plucked Accident off of him and lifted him up to eye level.
"Come on, Accident! We're going to catch a world class bunch of Pokémon and beat Red!"
"Squirtle Squirtle!" Accident said, happy to see his trainer was in a better mood. He smiled.
"Squirtle!"
