~Later~
Nikki walked through Route 30 with Sapphire by her side. After about ten minutes of walking they encountered a new type of Pokémon unlike the ones they had seen before. Unlike the Pidgys and Sentrets that they had been encountering (maybe the odd Rattata) this was a ladybird like Pokémon, only a lot bigger and with strange feet.
"Ok, Sapph, I don't know exactly what that is..." Nikki suddenly thought back to when she helped the professor in his lab...
~Flashback~
A young Nikki stood on a fence leaning over looking at the Pokémon that were happily playing. She saw a ladybird like Pokémon.
"Professor..." she asked curiously, "what kinda Pokémon's that?" she finished, pointing at the ladybird.
"That's a Ledyba. Most of them are caught on Route 30 at low levels, they're practically harmless there, and the only move they know is Tackle, so you don't need to worry about them if you ever become a trainer..."
"Professor...what's this?" Nikki held up something that looked like an amulet, with a dark Pokéball on the end.
"Nikki...put that down!"
~End flashback~
"The amulet..." She reminisced, "Sapphire," she snapped, remembering what was the most urgent matter, "it's a Ledyba, and they're not very powerful, use your Rage attack!"
Sapphire started to glow red and attacked the Ledyba at full speed with what looked like a variation of the Tackle attack. Ledyba stood fazed for a second then ran at Sapphire with a tackle attack. Sapphire grew angrier and flew straight at the Ledyba using her rage attack. The Ledyba suddenly flew away.
"Way to go Sapphire!" Shouted Nikki punching the air in victory.
"Totodile-dile!" snapped Sapphire.
"Hey, Sapph is it just me or is it very quiet?" (A/N: this is where those dust balls would come along with a gust of wind) "Sapph, I don't like it here, maybe we should get to Mr. Pokémon's house now..."
~At Mr. Pokémon's house~
(A/N: as yours truly was too lazy to make ANY interaction for the rest of the journey and there wasn't any important bits, yours truly brought you straight here! ^_~;)
"Hey, you must be Nikki!" cried a friendly voice as Nikki entered, "I'm Mr. Pokémon! You've came for the new discovery haven't you? Oh that's a cute Pokémon, a Totodile, very nice to have as a pet or as a fighter, very loyal, what's its name? Or did you not give it one? Oh well doesn't matter, anyway, I think you want this?" he held out something that looked like an egg. "So I'll stop talking and give this to you so you can get back." He handed Nikki a white egg with pastel colour dots on it.
"Thanks." She replied politely.
"Hello," rang a voice from the computer, "you're Nikki, glad to meet you, I'm Professor Oak. I see that Elm gave you a Pokémon for this mission, I also understand why. To researchers like Elm and I Pokémon are our friends, he saw that you would treat this Pokémon with love, care and respect. Hey!" Professor Oak snapped his fingers, "How'd you like to do me a favour? See this..." he pulled out a small red, handheld computer, "this is the latest version of the Pokédex, and I need someone to catalogue and test it, so how would you like to do it?"
"Yeah, of course! That'd be way past cool!" Nikki was deadly excited that a well renowned Pokémon researcher like Professor Oak (I mean yeah, Elm's like famous and all, but Oak is to the Pokémon world what Michael Jackson is to the music world - except maybe not so crazy...LOL! ^_~) is asking her to help him with something so adventurous. Professor Oak handed her the new Pokédex and then spoke out.
"Well I have to go to Goldenrod for my talk show. I'll be seeing you later!" he waved cheerily and walked out.
"Guess you're going back to Elm, here, your Pokémon will need some rest, I believe you two have been battling a lot." Mr. Pokémon piped up. Nikki sat down as he got a potion and fed it to Sapphire.
"Thank you Mr. Pokémon, c'mon Sapph, we need to juice and jam!"
Nikki and Sapphire walked out of the house, Nikki realised that it was getting dark.
"C'mon Sapph, better get in your Pokéball, don't want you to get stuck in the dark..." her mobile phone started to ring, "Hold that thought Sapph. Hello? Nikki here."
"Oh Nikki, it's terrible, horrible, someone stole a Pokémon from the lab!" the voice rushed
"Professor Elm? Wha? Calm down, I'm coming to New Bark and you can explain there!" she shouted down the phone before hanging up. "C'mon Sapph, something's up!" She held out Sapphire's Pokéball and returned Sapphire to it. Nikki quickly ran down route 30, avoiding any Pokémon by distracting them with berries and such that she had collected on the way to Mr. Pokémon's.
~At Cherrygrove City~
"Oh God, I made it, better get to New Bark..." Nikki walked towards the City exit that headed to New Bark.
"Hey, miss trackie!" shouted someone.
"Who the hell...Oh, I remember you." She said turning around, her voice turning from shock to disdain.
"Yeah, you got a Pokémon at the lab didn't you? What a waste, on someone as pathetic as you...don't you get what I'm saying? Well I too have a good Pokémon, I'll show you what I mean!" he ranted
"I don't know who the hell you are but you are soo asking for a butt kicking! SAPPHIRE I CHOOSE YOU!" She screamed, releasing Sapphire from her Pokéball.
"Oh yeah? GO CHIKORITA!" he retorted.
"The stolen Pokémon!" she gasped, "Sorry Chikorita, but...SAPPHIRE USE YOUR SCRATCH ATTACK!" Nikki yelled. Sapphire started scratching at Chikorita.
"CHIKORITA USE GROWL!" Chikorita stopped Sapphire's attack by jumping back and then started to fiercely growl at Sapphire. Sapphire was taken aback by the defensive move, but suddenly stopped being so scared...
"SAPPHIRE, USE RAGE!" Nikki screamed. Sapphire glowed crimson and tackled Chikorita much harder than she had tackled the Ledyba that they encountered...Chikorita suddenly fell to the floor unconscious.
"Chikorita, return" said the youth, half-heartedly, not happy about the defeat. "Nikki huh? I'm Ryu, and I'm going to be the world's greatest Pokémon trainer! Just watch." Ryu shoved Nikki out of the way again and sped off.
"Sapph, I pity him, he's so naïve, he doesn't know what to do when it comes to raising Pokémon, does he? Well come on, we need to get to New Bark...Sapphire, return."

Author: Anyway, yeah it's still kinda role-played, but the annoying, slow build up is needed because I need to show some things. Anywaaaaay...What is that amulet? Why did Nikki's flashback show that? Find out in the next chapter! Anyway, the roleplaying has stopped, now in chapter 3 there will be something that changes it into something a lot more dramatic...
Blessed Be!
