The Second Story: A Hoenn Hero's story!

Authors Note:

Ok, y'all, I'm a newbie author so cut me some slack here! I used to write stuff like 4 years ago when I was 11 but now I'm a little better. Anyways, I'm sure you could care less about my history and would rather get on with the story. Right? Too bad. Got to do the official stuff that no one really cares about.

Official stuff that no one really cares about:

I don't own Pokemon. Duh. If you thought I did, stop reading now and go enjoy the bliss that is ignorance. MOST, not all but most of the characters in this fic are of my own invention. A few such as Ash, Misty, Brock, and anyone else that might just appear for any reason whatsoever are the property of the dude who made Pokemon. Now, we go on to the story. (Yay)

The Story (Yay)

Chapter 1: Say hi to your hero!

"Thank you for riding an S.S. ferry! We hope to see you again!" said the stewardess as the passengers departed off of the ship.

As the passengers filed out, one in particular catches our eye. A medium height man stepped of the boarding ramp. He was cloaked, and the top of his face was shadowed by his hood. A small yellow rodent rested on his shoulder.



"So, Pikachu," he said quietly. "Do you think we will find what we are looking for here?"

The Pikachu on his shoulder merely sighed and shook its head undecidedly. The two walked off down the street towards the Pokemon Center. A few young kids ran by him, playing with their Pokemon. As they ran off, one of them stopped to look at the man. His jaw dropped and he ran away excitedly yelling for his friends to wait up.

"Dang, I had hoped we wouldn't be recognized so soon." the man muttered under his breath. He quickened his pace.

The small boy from before now had a crowd around him, all talking noisily, while the boy pointed to the hooded man. Immediately, some of the other, older boys ran towards the man, pencils and paper clucked in their hands.

"Hey!" One of them said excitedly as he stopped in front of the man. "You….(pant)……You're Ash aren't you! You're the world champion, huh?"

"Nope, sorry kid, just one of the many look-alikes wandering with a Pikachu. Heh, sorry to burst your bubble." he said looking at the kid, smiling warmly.

"Awwww, for real!? Dang. Oh well, sorry mister." the kid said dejectedly walking away with his head hung. The others followed his example.



"Jeez Pikachu, that was close, I can't believe he bought it though. 'K, on to the Center," he said striding briskly towards the massive building with that really big "P" on it.

The Pokemon center was bustling with activity. Trainers challenging each other left and right. Trainers comparing strategies. Trainers showing off badges. Nurse joy being harassed by an oddly familiar guy who never opens his eyes. Pokemon shuffling around everywhere. And other trai-Wait, was that Brock harassing Nurse Joy AGAIN?!

"Never thought we'd see Brock here huh Pikachu?" The man asked his Pikachu. It shook its head happily, then hopped off his shoulder and rushed to its friend.

"But Nurse Joy, you're the one for me, all those other Nurse Joy's are beautiful and all, but you, you take the cake. With your pink hair, nurse outfit, and love for Pokemon. I know we can live happily together!" Brock stated in his most theatric voice.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy, I have some important news for you." Said, yet another familiar voice (Jeez, those familiar people just keep popping up huh?) Officer Jenny walked up next to Brock, not yet realizing it was him.

"Officer Jenny!!!!! OH, have you reconsidered my offer yet! That ring cost a lot of money and you would make me the happiest man on the planet if you said yes! I know we can live happily together!" Brock said, diverting his attention completely from Nurse Joy.

"AAAAHHHH, Its you! Uhhhhh, how about we talk later Nurse Joy! Bye!" And with that, she ran off quicker than would seem possible for a human. Just look at her go! Whooo! Go speed racer! **Cough** Sorry bout that, back to the story.

"As I was saying Nurse Joy, we can be hap-"

"If you ask me, she doesn't appear to be very interested Brock!" Said the man, jokingly to his old friend.

"Huh, Ash its you! Its so good to see you again! What are you doing here!" Brock said, recognizing the face under the hood. Once again, he had managed to divert his attention away from the very flustered Nurse Joy, who wisely took this opening to run away. Just look at her-*cough* ….my bad….

"Hey Pikachu!" Brock said, finally noticing the big yellow growth that had just seemed to pop up from nowhere on his shoulder.



"Pika!" it said before jumping onto Ash's shoulder.

"Looking for a special someone to get a special something." Ash said, unobtrusively showing Brock the pokeball in his hand.



"Is that it??" Brock asked amazed. "One of the last is it?"

"Yea, so I have to check out some of the trainers here before I head to the next town." Ash said, glancing around at all of the obnoxious trainers gloating and showing off. He couldn't believe he used to be like that.

"Well, Ill see you Brock. By the way," Ash said, glancing at Nurse Joy cowering in the corner. "I hear that the Nurse Joy in Mahogany Town is looking for a boy friend."

"What! Really! Ill cya later Ash.!" Brock yelled dashing out of the Pokemon center.

"Thank you so much Ash!" Nurse Joy said, obviously relieved.



"No problem," Ash said. "Say, Nurse Joy, I'm wondering if you've seen any good trainers around?"

"Why yes, there are a few over there, why do you ask?" Nurse Joy said pointing to a corner where a group of trainers sat discussing their successes.

"I'm looking for someone to give this guy to." Ash said, once again unobtrusively showing the pokeball



"Hmmm what is it? If you don't mind my asking." Nurse Joy said.

Ash leaned in close and whispered in her ear "it's a Beldum , one of the last ones out there too."

"Your joking!" Nurse Joy gasped. "I thought they had all been poached!"

"Well, I saved this one from some poachers, so now I'm looking for a suitable trainer that will treat it right." Ash said.

"Well, if your looking for someone who cares about their Pokemon, then ill redirect you." Nurse Joy said looking around the center. "I had thought you wanted a battle, but if it's a kindhearted trainer your looking for……there, he's the one you want."

Nurse Joy pointed to another corner (I love this! As author I could make like a million corners in this SQUARE room!) where a boy sat alone. He looked kind of lonely to Ash.

"Hmm, he looks O.K. but how does he treat his other Pokemon?" Ash asked.

"This would be his first!" Nurse Joy said.

"I don't think he'll work then, I need someone who has experience with Pokemon." Ash said, glancing at some of the girls who were smothering their Pokemon with love.

"Don't worry, he has tons of experience! He likes to help abandoned Pokemon and has probably gotten beat up many times because he stood up to trainers who abuse their Pokemon." Nurse Joy said, wincing at some of the memories of him coming in with bruises up and down his body.

"Now that you put it that way, ill go talk to him." Ash said nodding to Nurse Joy "Thanks."

Ash walked towards the boy, but was stopped halfway across the room by a teenage girl.

"Hey you! Yea you in the cloak and that cartoon like shadow on your face that seems to hide your eyes completely ! I Challenge you to a Pokemon Battle!" She said confidently.

"I don't really have time for this." Ash said exasperatedly.

"Too bad, rules say that now that I have challenged you, we have to battle!" She said smirking.

"Rulebook junky" Ash muttered under his breath. Then he turned and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going!?" the girl called after him.

"Outside. Its kind of rude to battle with people trying to relax inside" Ash stated, reaching under his cloak and grabbing a pokeball.

"Fine, lets go!" she said, running outside after him.

As Ash was going out the door, he heard some of the other trainers whispering to each other. They were whispering something to the affect of "This poor loser, no ones beaten Sage." Heh, Ash thought, they were in for a rude awakening.

"Ok, we are gonna have a 1 on 1!" Sage said as she turned to face Ash once they were outside.

"Fine, Ill choose mine first giving you the advantage." Ash said blandly.

"Ok, but that was a bad move!" Sage said grinning.

"Hmm, go Absol!" Ash called throwing his pokeball in the air.

"Sol!" it barked. (Yeah, I know, we don't know how it sounds yet but ill use my magical author power of creative licensing! Gotta love loopholes!) It looked around at the crowd, and people started to gasp. Half of its face was white, with a downward curve, the other half was black, with a big curved protrusion coming over the dogs ears even. (If you don't know what it is, then watch the new series that's out, he appears near the end of the beginning song!) The doglike creature growled and tossed its head around. Sage drew back a little. She had never seen this thing.

"Right, well Go Kirlia!" She shouted releasing her Psychic type.

"Kiiiirlia!" It said. (Magical Author Powers!) It was a somewhat small Pokemon that looked vaguely female, mainly because it looked like a ballerina. It also had 2 red disc like things protruding from its head The Pokemon brought up one of its small arms and started to draw in midair, leaving a small trail of energy in its finger's wake.

"Hmm, it has trace, oh well, It wont help you now! Absol use Shadow Ball!" Ash shouted.

The dog leapt into action, the dark side of its face glowing a bright black. (Kind of contradicting huh?) A large ball of black energy formed in front of it, and it fired the energy at the poor Kirlia.

"No way! Kirlia, use Detect!" Sage shouted



Her Kirlia closed its eyes and concentrated. A wall of force appeared in front of it and the ball of energy hit, dissipating into the wall.

"Not bad, but now it ends. Absol, Double-Edge!" Ash shouted.

The Absol burst forward in a surge of speed, its dark half glowing again. It leapt into the air and came down with both of its front paws slashing out. It hit the Kirlia and sent it flying. But the impact of the landing made the Absol's legs buckle underneath it. It lay there, dazed, then got to its feet and shook off the pain. It bounded back to its trainer and did the typical happy dog thing. That's right! It peed all over his pants as it stood on its hind legs to hug him! Just kidding! Really though t jumped on Ash and started to lick his face!!!!

"Oh. My. Gosh. You BEAT me? You actually beat me, and easy too!" Sage said in disbelief as she rushed to her Kirlia's side.

"Whoa, that guy must be good to beat sage!" Was the general comment among the crowd.

"Ok, Absol Return." Ash said, calling the dog back into its pokeball.

"Dangit, my Kirlia's hurt, where's that potion I had?" Sage asked to no one in particular.

Hmm, Ash thought, she's a good trainer but there doesn't seem to be much in the common sense department. Honestly, he thought, they were right outside a Pokemon center and she was looking for a potion….

"Here, use this one." A voice said, interrupting Sage's searching and Ashes sighs of frustration.

It was that boy that Ash had been trying to get to. He was holding out a super potion towards Sage. For a second, the world went all Brock on them. Their backgrounds faded to happy colors with hearts on them, and both of their eyes began to sparkle as they looked at one another. Or at least, the boy thought they were looking at one another with the googly eyes. The scene suddenly shattered as she grabbed the potion and began to kiss it and hug it like a long lost love. The boy suddenly had to pick himself up off the ground and wipe all the dirt off of his face. Stupid face faults, he thought.

Sage administered the potion and her Kirlia was up in no time! She stood up, dusted her skirt off and returned Kirlia to its ball. She turned to Ash, and held out some money.

"Here, you earned it." She said smiling.

"Don't worry about it, you'll need that to buy some potions so the next time your guys get injured outside of a Pokemon center, you wont be in any danger of not getting them medical attention." Ash said, the sarcasm in his voice so thick he almost choked on it.

"Heh, works for me!" Sage said. She then turned to the boy.

"Hey, thanks, by the way, what's your name? Mine's Sage!" She said cheerfully.

"Hi Sage, I'm Felix" He said grinning
