Thanks for the reviews! Sorry it took a while, but as promised, I'm writing this chapter since I got those five reviews I wanted. First of all, I'd like to specify that Drew is May's rival in the show, but that it is not the case in this story. However, it is the same Drew. And in case anyone is wondering, this story will not have any real pairings in it except for contestshipping, and maybe some hints of pokeshipping. Hoennshipping will not be there, however, Brendan will end up with someone anyway. So here's chapter two! Enjoy & review!
Chapter 2- My Pokemon
Somehow, Sierra got up in time to pick out her pokemon. She raced downstairs with her stuff. " Hi Mom! Bye Mom!" she called as she headed out the door. Her mom knew she was excited, and since they said their good-byes yesterday, she let her go to the lab without any hugging.
When Sierra got the lab, all of her friends were waiting there, along with Drew and Brendan. And they were bored with a capital B!
" What's going on guys?" Sierra asked.
" Oh nothing much except that Prof. Birch is nowhere to be found!" Brendan said sarcastically.
" What! Nowhere to be found? This can't happen! This won't happen! Not on my watch. I have to find hi. I've been waiting too long to get my pokemon. I am not going to wait around here until Prof. Birch comes back. This is just horrible. And I'm not going to take it. Everyone knows Prof. Birch likes to work with pokemon. I'm going to the woods!" Sierra said.
" Calm down Sierra! I'm sure Prof. Birch has a reason for being late. Then again, we could go find him to speed this up a bit," Misty said.
" Great idea!" Brendan said, a little too enthusiastically.
" Whatever," Misty muttered. She really hated Brendan. More than any of us.
So the six of them started out of the lab. They saw a little girl near the opening to the woods. She looked really scared. " What's wrong?" Sara asked worriedly.
" I heard some growls coming from the woods. It sounds scary," she said.
" Growls?" Misty asked in a small voice.
" We were just going in there to try and find my dad," Lilly said.
" Be careful," the girl said.
Sierra started to run into the woods, with Brendan tailing her. Misty and Lilly weren't far behind, and Sara and Drew were tailing them.
Sierra, who got there first saw Prof. Birch being chased by a Poochyena. " You there!" he called. He squinted. " Sierra?"
" Yes Professor," Sierra answered.
" Sierra, take a pokeball from my bag and battle the Poochyena," Prof. Birch directed.
" Um okay Professor," Sierra said, not sure about the request. She knew everything about pokemon there was to know, but she had never battled before. Was she ready yet? Yes Sierra decided.
She took out a pokeball and stepped forward. " Poochyena," she called. " Leave him alone and come here. I challenge you to a battle." Then Sierra released the pokemon. " Come on out!" she called, wondering what pokemon she had chosen. To her surprise, it was Torchic. ' Perfect,' she thought. Not only was she going to get a practice battle, but also she got to practice with the pokemon she wanted.
The Poochyena came at her right away. " Okay Torchic, will you help me win this battle?" Sierra asked her future pokemon.
" Torchic tor torchic of course I will," Torchic answered.
" Alright then, use ember!" Sierra called, knowing Prof. Birch gave pokemon that were at level eight already as starters. Torchic used ember and it slowed Poochyena down, but then Poochyena used bite.
" Torchic, use scratch," Sierra said. But Poochyena quickly dodged and used tackle. " Alright Torchic, try another ember and then follow it up with quick attack." Poochyena got hit twice. It came at Torchic. It was going to use tackle again.
" Torchic, stop it in its tracks with ember!" Torchic used ember and Poochyena stopped. Then it fell down. Its leg had been injured. But it was really tough. It got right back up. But it couldn't move that well because of its leg. So Sierra made Torchic use quick attack. But before it could hit, Poochyena used bite! Torchic was really tired by now.
Sierra's friends were all cheering her on. Even Brendan wanted her to win. As for Drew, well, he didn't really do anything.
" Alright now Torchic. Peck attack!" Sierra commanded. Torchic used peck on Poochyena's injured leg. Poochyena was down again. Sierra found the opportunity to attack. She had Torchic use ember, and then Poochyena fainted! Sierra had won her first battle.
At the lab, after Prof. Birch had given everyone his or her pokemon, pokenavs, and pokedexs, he also gave Sierra the Poochyena she had defeated. " I was looking for a Ziggzagoon, not a Poochyena anyway," he said. So with pokemon and new equipment, the six kids headed off on their journey through Hoenn.
So what do you think? I will publish chapter three soon, but I won't give you a fourth chapter until I get six more reviews.
