The Second Story: A Hoenn Adventure
Chapter 2:Don't you feel special?
Hello! I'm writing again, and its only been like a day since my first chapter. Man, I feel creative!
I got a couple of good reviews so I decided to continue the story. Of course, I would have done that anyway, but you guys are great confidence boosters! Okay, here we go!
But before we continue…….what you've all been waiting for: character bios!
Felix: Our hero. Felix is a 5'8'' 14 year old with short brown eyes and black hair. He's usually wearing a pair of gray cargo pants with big pockets for all of his potions and stuff. He also has a black turtleneck with a black trench coat over it all. Felix obviously is very caring and generous even though he looks kind of gothic (No, he doesn't paint his face white and wear black lipstick, it's just he likes dark clothes.) He is a strong believer in treating Pokemon as friends rather than tools. Felix started traveling 5 years ago when he was 9 to see the world, and because he was kicked out of his beautiful beachside town of Sunnyvale (Long story). Because he left at age 9, he did not yet receive his first Pokemon, and has not been able to catch one due to lack of funds for pokeballs and lack of a Pokemon to weaken the one he wants. Despite traveling for 5 years, Felix had yet to find love….that is until he found Sage. She opened his heart, and his pituitary glands. Now he is just like any other teenage male with enough testosterone to drown a household pet.
Sage: Our Heroine. Sage is a 16 year old 5'4'' purple haired, dark eyed, HOTTIE! Or so Felix would say…. Anyway, Sage is a headstrong girl who stands fast to her beliefs. One of which being "You can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed, got to live the life you create inside your head." (For those of you who recognize it, yes that is from "I am a Pioneer." The Tenchi Muyo! Theme song.) So, she lives her dreams to the best of her abilities. Sage started traveling at age 10 when she received an Eevee as her first Pokemon. She hails from who knows where, 'cause she isn't telling. She left who knows where, not only to become the best, but also to get away from Sean, the little boy from her childhood that had a mad crush on her and habitually stalked her.
Ash: The world champion and our first cameo! Picture him how you want because then he will look all the cooler to you!
I'll put up bios as new characters come into play. But now, on with the story!
__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--__--
We are going to go back a few seconds to when Sage has just thanked Felix for the potion, and has asked his name.
"Hi, Sage, I'm Felix." he said grinning.
"Well, hi Felix, I owe you one!" she said smiling back.
"Don't worry about it, it's what I do." Felix said scratching the back of his head.
"Ok, I won't then." Sage said grinning, then she turned towards Ash, who seemed to have just disappeared.
"What, where did he go?" the crowd was asking. Oddly enough they had formed a circle around the battle and yet none of them had seen where he had gone…
"Oh well, now I know what it's like to fight a real trainer, not some new punk!" Sage said, now scratching the back of her head.
"He probably felt that way towards you, ya know?" Felix said staring pointedly at her.
"Heh, heh….yeah." Sage said, turning red.
"Well, anyway, let's go in, it's going to get dark soon." Felix said looking at the darkening horizon.
"Wha? Really! Wow, it's as though due to some unknown power that's controlling us has made the sun set earlier. Weird." Sage said also looking at the dark sky.
"I know, bizarre huh?" Felix said, opening the center's door for her.
"Why thank you! What a gentleman." Sage said smiling and walked in.
"Heh, no problem." Felix said, scratching his head and turning red. (Feel the rhyme)
As the pair walked in, with the whole crowd from outside following them, they saw a few young trainers arguing over whether or not that guy out there was really Ash the World Champ. It was getting pretty intense, a young girl, obviously a fan, looked as though she was on the verge of beating another girl up for disagreeing with her. Luckily, at that moment, Nurse Joy walked in between the two, and ended the small fight.
"So, what are you doing here Felix?" Sage asked as she took a seat in a nearby corner. (Another one!! One left before we start pulling them from thin air!)
"Me, I'm just traveling the world lending my aid to trainers such as you. What about you?" Felix said sitting down a few seats away.
"I'm out to be the best of the best, but as you can see, I have a long way to go." Sage said, dropping her head and sighing. "I can't believe I lost that easily, I mean come on! I've trained my Kirlia for a long time and that guy took her down with one hit!"
"There's always someone better." Felix said looking at her.
"I know, I just find that I feel a heck of a lot better if I don't believe that phrase…" Sage said sighing again. "So, how strong are your Pokemon?" she asked.
"I don't have any." Felix said quietly. "I was nine when I started traveling so I didn't get mine."
"Bummer, but what gets me is how you've managed all this time alone." Sage said.
"It wasn't easy let me tell you." he said, "You have no idea I got attacked by wild Pokemon and was defenseless….but I managed, and here I am today!"
"If you'll excuse me, I have to wake up early tomorrow so I thing I'll turn in early." he stood up and walked towards the Pokemon centers rooms.
"Hey, wait, where are you going? Maybe I could come with?" Sage said, blushing slightly.
"Lilycove City." he said. (BTW they happen to be in Slateport if your wondering.) "Why would you want to come."
"Well, uhhh, I just thought it might be nice to travel with a companion for once." Sage said blushing deeply. She was staring at her feet and playing with her hair at the same time, both of her nervous ticks. (Who said multi tasking was hard?)
"Right….ok, works for me, what room are you in, I'll wake you up when its time to go." Felix said pulling a small notepad and a pencil out.
"I'm in room 14." Sage said, still multi tasking.
"Right, then I'll be there at 6 AM, K?" Felix asked smiling.
"6 AM! That's like murder tome! I need my beauty sleep or ill start to look like an old hag!" Sage gasped.
"Don't worry, I honestly don't think it would really affect you." he said grinning, then he turned and walked off. "Night!" he called back.
"Night…" Sage trailed off thinking about what she had just gotten herself into.
Felix opened up the door to his room and turned on the light. It was a bit much for just him but Nurse Joy had insisted on him having his own room after he had helped her yesterday. The room was just like all the other center's rooms. Small with two bunk beds and a desk right under the window in the middle of the room. The window was open letting the refreshing night air in. Felix took a deep breath enjoying the refreshing freshness of the air around him. He changed into his pajamas (With little super potions on them!) and crawled into bed. He tossed and turned for a while trying to figure out why he wasn't falling asleep. Then it hit him! Hard too. (That will leave a mark.) So he got up and turned off the light. Once again he crawled into bed, and was asleep in moments.
__--__--__--__--
"Ok Pikachu, you know what to do!" Ash said, giving the small package to his friend.
"Pika!" it said and dashed off carrying the package in it's mouth.
Pikachu ran through the forest towards the Pokemon center. (If you notice, every time you see a room, it always has a forest in the window….) It reached the center and started sniffing. It caught onto the scent it was looking for rather fast and dashed towards the window that the smell was emanating from. Pikachu hopped up onto the window sill, relieved that the window was open. It jumped onto the desk, and dropped the package. Then it tuned and ran back the way it came.
Ash stood there watching Pikachu running towards him and turned to start away. He had high hopes for that Felix kid, and was fairly sure that he had made the right choice. As Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder, he started walking away, fading away into the night.
--__--__--__--__--__
"Ahhhhh, I feel refreshed!" Felix said as he got out of bed and stretched. "Better get ready, only have an hour before I have to go wake up Sage."
Felix stumbled his way to the bathroom and did those things that people do in the morning, and took a shower. As he stepped out of the bathroom, still drying his hair he caught sight of the package. It was no bigger than a card box but still it seemed to catch his eye. That wasn't there last night, he thought.
He walked up to the desk and picked up the small box. He looked it over and couldn't find anything really interesting on it. So he opened up one end and poured its contents out. He stood stock still as 5 pokeballs and an ultra ball rolled out. A letter also fell from the box, but who really cares about that when you just got a few free pokeballs! He just sat there gawking until his common sense kicked in and told him to read the letter.
He picked up the letter, unfolded it, and read:
Dear Felix,
You don't really know me and I doubt you would believe me if I told you who I was so ill get on with it. I've been looking for someone like you for a long time. You show that you care for Pokemon as friends instead of tools and that is a rare quality these days. So because of your rare trait, I'm leaving this Pokemon in your care. It's a Beldum that I managed to find in the wild. If you didn't know, they are a nearly extinct species of Pokemon. Their hide is being sought by collectors and poachers alike for the special metal that it contains. So few exist in fact, that it's rumored that they are extinct. I have entrusted you with a great responsibility and I hope you don't abuse this gift.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
"Jeez, what a stupid way to sign a letter! Honestly, how are you going to sign anonymous?" Felix said, obviously in shock. His mind hadn't totally registered what the letter had said yet.
"Who does this guy think he's kidding, Beldum are extinct!" Felix said. It was easy to tell that he was hoping he was wrong.
"Its not like I can just pick up this ultra ball and throw it," Felix said picking up the ultra ball and throwing it " a Beldum will pop out."
"See, no poke-" Felix said but was cut off by another voice cutting in.
"Dummmm!" Said the metallic looking thingy in the middle of the room.
"No frickin way…..this isn't happening, I don't have a Beldum…this has to be a dream!" he said hysterically. (Doesn't accept gifts well huh?)
"Dummm!" said the Pokemon again, but this time it bull rushed Felix, effectively knocking the wind out of him. It started "Dummm!"ing happily as it floated circles around him.
"Oh. My. Gosh! I have a Beldum!!" Felix shouted, his brain finally processing what was going on.
"Shut up in there!" came a voice from outside the door. Felix didn't care though. He had a Beldum and that dude didn't have crud.
" I have to tell someone!" Felix said happily, hugging the Beldum and fascinating himself with its sheen and perfectly smooth metal body. "I know! Sage!" he shouted, dashing out of the room, the Beldum close behind still uh….(I'll just say its humming for now k?)..humming happily.
"Sage!" Felix said, bursting into her room.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed 3 of the 4 girls in the room and immediately objects started flying in his direction. He didn't care though, cause he had a Beldum and all they had was blankets, pillows, and curlers.
"Sage guess what!! I got a Beldum!" he said excitedly, hardly noticing all of the random items of personal grooming that were being hurled at him from the 3 other girls.
"Whaaaaa?" Sage asked, pulling herself into a sitting position on the bed.
"I GOT A BELDUM!!!" he screamed once again.
Groggily, Sage looked at the metallic Pokemon floating by Felix's side and blinked a few times. "Don't you feel special…" she said sarcastically.
