Max's Quest: The Tropical League
Chapter 1 - "Good or Evil? That is the Question!"
Here we are in Max's room, a Pokemon trainer from Simplicit Island. He is going to turn twelve years old today and he can officially start his journey. He has always watched the Fantastic Five beat trainers down on TV and he figured he could be the person to beat them all. For his whole life Max has dreamed of battling on Championship Island in the Tropical League and today he could begin his quest to do so.
He got out of bed and put his orange shorts on and then moved toward his dresser draw. He took out a yellow shirt and put his head through it and then tucked it in to his shorts. As he left the room he grabbed his red wind breaker jacket on but not zipping it up, letting the yellow shirt show. He took a look at the clock in the kitchen and the hands read 8:10 AM.
He then went to the breakfast table and saw a note on the counter near the toaster. Max read it out loud, "Dear Max, I went to the grocery store to pick up some things for the house. I should be back in a little. From your Mother. P.S. Professor Maple wanted to see you. You should stop by the lab."
"I guess I should give him a visit," Max said out loud, then noticing no one was there to listen.
It was a real sunny day today. It was always nice on Simplicit Island but it was warmer then usual. He walked by an alley and heard a noise, so he went to check it out. He poked his head into the dark corner and saw a Pokemon. It was badly hurt and beaten. Max went to pick it up but it was very scared and backed away.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Max said quietly trying not to scare off the small, gray elephant Pokemon. He then noticed it was a Phanpy. "I'll take you to the Pokemon Center, they'll make you feel better."
But this Pokemon did not want to go with him as if it didn't trust Max. Then it passed out hitting the ground. Max picked it up and wrapped it in his windbreaker and ran as fast as he could. He got to the Pokemon Center really fast because he has lived on that island ever since he was born and he knew everything about it.
"I found this Phanpy near my house in an alley," Max explained. "It's really hurt!"
"I'll get it to the critical condition room right away!" Joy said as she pressed a button to call for assistance. A Chansey came with a stretcher, placed Phanpy on it and strolled it down the hall into a room in the back.
Max decided to wait there for Phanpy. He waited for hours and hours. He had wondered why Phanpy backed away from him. Maybe it didn't trust people or has had a bad experience with them he thought. Max hoped it would be ok to be let go into the wild, were it probably was happy. It was then 11:05 AM when the pale, red headed nurse came from the emergency room.
"Your Phanpy is going to be ok," Nurse Joy wrongfully pointed out.
"No, I don't think you understand," Max tried to explain the situation standing up from the lounge chair in the waiting room. "I found Phanpy, its not mine."
"Well we ran it through a trainer search and it isn't owned by any one," Nurse Joy then said. "So could you please take care of this Phanpy for me?"
Max thought for a second about the state of things and then came to an agreement, "Sure!" he accepted. "I'll take after Phanpy!"
Nurse Joy handed him a half-red, half-white ball containing the ground Pokemon. "I think you'll take great care of it."
"I will," he promised. "I will."
Max then hurried to Professor Maple's Lab. It was around twelve o'clock he thought. "Am I to late?" Max asked the fairly young professor with red hair, glasses, and a white robe to top it off.
"Well yes," Maple glared at his watch. "It doesn't matter, here is your Pokedex." Maple handed him the red gadget know as the "Pokedex."
"Thanks," Max said about to leave.
"Wait don't go," the Professor held him back. "You need a Pokemon."
"I already have a Phanpy," Max bragged.
"Oh! Well in that case, run along now. You've got a long journey ahead of you," he explained. "Oh, and one more thing!" he said before Max tried to turn around. "Take these!" He handed Max five Pokeballs and a couple of potions.
"Thanks Professor Maple," Max was very appreciative for the gifts
"If you have any trouble on your journey, just call me when you arrive at a Pokemon Center," Maple said. "And say hi to your mom for me before you leave, ok!"
"Ok Professor," Max said while putting his Pokedex into his right pocket and attaching the balls to his Pokeball belt.
Then he said bye and was on his way back home to visit his mom before he left on his journey.
"Hi mom!" Max walked in the front door. "I'm home!"
"Hi dear," she greeted him. "How is Professor Maple?"
"Good," he responded. "I found a beat up Pokemon in an alley and I took it to the Pokemon Center and Nurse Joy said I could keep it."
"That's good, sweetie!"
"I'm about to get started on my journey," Max said. "Which Island should I start on?"
"Secta Island," she answered. "It has the best gym for beginners. You can get your first Amateur Badge there. Well good luck on your trip. Bye."
"Bye mom," Max walked out the door grabbing his white hat and his cool, black sun glasses, putting them on as he made his exit.
He walked towards the docks so he could board the SS Trainer. The SS Trainer took all trainers from island to island for free. It was a huge white boat with a sun deck at the very top. Also trainers could battle on the arena deck.
Max walked up the ramp that led to the inside of the ship. Then a guard stopped him at the door, "Were do you think your going? I need to see some ID." He was huge and had the biggest muscles Max has ever seen. Max then showed him his Pokedex and the guard confirmed his Id letting him on to the ship.
"Hey you," a shadowy figure called from the corner. "How would you like to join Team Rocket?" he then stepped out of the corner. He was wearing a black suit with the letter "R" on the shirt. He was also the same height as Max and was wearing a black hat.
"No way," Max screamed. "I will never join Team Rocket!"
"Suit your self," the rocket warned. "Go Cyndaquil, Grimer!" The rocket took out two Pokeballs throwing the towards the ground and in a beam of red light revealed a small Fire Mouse Pokemon and a purple blob.
"That's not fair, I only have one Pokemon" Max demanded a fair match.
"Well life ain't fair, now is it?" the punk taunted Max.
Max then knew he had no choice, "I choose you, Phanpy! Use your Tackle attack on Grimer!"
But Phanpy backed away. Max thought it was to much, one on two.
"Ha, ha, ha!" the punk laughed. "I bet that's the Pokemon I beat up in that alley before!"
"Why I ought to!" Max was so mad but he noticed something.
Phanpy started to get go so mad he charged at Grimer. He hit the big blob of slime but it didn't do much damage.
"C'mon Phanpy, don't give up!" Max encouraged his Pokemon.
"I'm sick of wasting my time! Cyndaquil Flame Wheel, Grimer Poison Gas!"
Cyndaquil blew a continuous flame until it made a wheel shape and then Cyndaquil pushed it towards Phanpy. It hit Phanpy for a lot of damage.
"No!" Max cried in rage. "Phanpy don't give up!"
Then Grimer opened its slimy mouth and let a toxic, green gas out onto the fallen Phanpy. It then rolled over near Max's side.
"No, Phanpy!" Max started to cry, "I'm so sorry!"
A tear drop fell on Phanpy and it started to glow. Max started to feel a strange feeling. It was like Phanpy and Max gained a powerful bond that could not be broken. Max rescued Phanpy, now it was Phanpy's turn to repay Max.
The glowing body of Phanpy started to change! The blinding light cleared and Max could see a whole different Pokemon. It got much bigger and grew tusks.
Max reached into his pocket, pulled out his Pokedex and said, "It Evolved, I can't believe it evolved!"
"Donphan the Armor Pokemon," the Pokedex informed in a weird robotic voice. "Because this Pokemon's skin is so tough, a normal attack won't even leave a scratch on it." The Pokedex still had one more thing to say, "It's special attack it Roll Out! An attack were the Pokemon rolls around in high velocity and doubles the amount of damage with every hit."
"Awesome!" Max shouted. "Donphan use your Roll Out attack!"
"Donphan!" it roared as it curled up into a ball and started to roll quickly on the floor. It hit Cyndaquil in the head and then turned to Grimer and rolled over its body, almost squashing it. It did a lot of damage. Donphan was going so fast it started to tear up the carpet on the floor. It then hit the two Pokemon again, making them faint.
"Yeah!" Max jumped up in excitement. "Great job Donphan!"
"Oh man," the punk said out loud. "How could have I lost? Well I'm outta here!" he turned around and tried to run away but Max stopped him.
"Were do you think your going?" Max asked. "What is your name?" Max asked.
"Oscar," The punk answered.
"Well Oscar, this is for hurting my Pokemon!" Max clinched his fist then took a swing at Oscar, knocking him down.
"Owwwwww!" Oscar whimpered, holding his face.
"Oh yeah, before you leave," Max had another thing to say. "You are now my biggest rival!"
"Oh dammit!" Oscar yelled. "I quit Team Rocket! I'm sick of being a bad guy, it never gets me anywhere."
"Now that's a good thing to hear," Max said in kind of a wise guy attitude. "Now scram!"
"Yes sir!" Oscar did what he was told and ran up the stairs to another deck.
"Let's go Donphan, were almost there!" Max said to his new Pokemon.
"Donphan!" It replied in it's own Pokemon language.
Max and his Pokemon went up to the top deck and waited to arrive at Secta Island.
