Thanks to everyone who reviewed our story so far:
Pksmashbros: To answer your three questions: 1.) We're using both Pearl and Diamond together. 2.) We have planned on what Pokemon to have on their teams, but we are open to other suggestions; we may like them. 3.) We don't really plan on bringing up the other Cul-De-Sac kids for now, but we did just start making this fanfic so that could change over time.
ImagI: We don't plan on bringing the other Cul-De-Sac kids or the Kanker Sisters right now. But if we come up with a way to do otherwise, we might put them in future chapters.
Playerhood18: Thanks for reviewing. We planned on what Pokemon to put on their teams, but that could change over time.
The Journey Begins
North of Sandgem Town; Ed, Edd, and Eddy were sitting under a tree, trying to figure out what they're going to do next. Edd was reading the book that Professor Rowan gave them, learning everything they'll need to know about Pokemon.
"I can't believe such incredible creatures existed in our world and we never even knew it." said Edd, intrigued by what he read about Pokemon so far.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just put that dumb book away and help us figure out a plan of what we're going to do next." said Eddy.
"I'll have you know, Eddy; that the contents of this book are very important to know in case we run into Pokemon and we get attacked." said Edd.
"Not as important as the fact that we're probably thousands of miles from home, we barely know anybody here, and above all else, we have no money. How are we going to pay for food and a hotel room to sleep in? Sure, we have the food in Ed's jacket; but it's not going to last forever, especially not with Ed's appetite." said Eddy as he pointed at Ed, who was gulping down a jar of pickles. "Hey! Easy on the food, monobrow! We need to save that for an emergency!"
"But, Eddy. I'm hungry." Ed complained.
"We know, Ed. But we still need to be careful about how much food we eat until we can come up with a way to earn some money to buy more. Like Eddy just said, that food won't last forever." Edd explained to Ed.
"Okay." said Ed as he put the pickle jar back in his jacket.
"I have an idea. Let's let our Pokemon out of their pokeballs. It would be good to let them out and stretch their legs for a bit. We know what it's like to be cramped in a small space for a long period of time when we were in that crate." said Edd as he pulled his pokeball out of his pocket. "Piplup. Come on out." Edd tosses the pokeball and it opens, releasing Piplup.
"Piplup." says Piplup.
"Oh, boy. Turtwig, come out and play." said Ed as he tosses Turtwig's pokeball, releasing it.
"Turtwig." said Turtwig. Eddy looks at his pokeball without much enthusiasm.
"Okay, Chimchar. Come out." said Eddy as he nonchalantly tosses Chimchar's pokeball, releasing it.
"Chimchar." said Chimchar.
"Now that they're out, I'll take the opportunity to try out this pokedex that Professor Rowan gave us on them." said Edd. He pulls the pokedex out of his back shorts pocket, points it towards Piplup, and pushes a button.
"Piplup, the Penguin Pokemon. It lives along the shore in northern countries. A skilled swimmer, it dives for over ten minutes while hunting." the voice from the pokedex explains.
"Intriguing." said Edd. He points the pokedex at Turtwig next.
"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokemon. Made from soil, the shell on its back hardens when it drinks water. It lives along lakes." explained the pokedex.
"Cool." said Ed. Edd points the pokedex at Chimchar.
"Chimchar, The Chimp Pokemon. It's fiery rear end is fueled by gas made in its belly. Even rain can't extinguish the fire." the pokedex explains.
"Such fascinating creatures Pokemon are. And this pokedex is an incredible device. So much information stored in it on such a small device." said Edd.
"Whatever." said Eddy.
"According to the pokedex. The attacks my Piplup currently know are Pound, and Growl. He also has an ability called Torrent, which powers up his water type attacks when its stamina is low. Ed, your Turtwig knows Tackle, and Withdraw. He has an ability called Overgrow, which powers up his grass type attacks when his stamina is low. Eddy, your Chimchar currently knows Scratch, and Leer. His ability is called Blaze, which powers up his fire type attacks when his stamina is low." explained Edd.
"Like I said; whatever." said Eddy as he kicked a small rock into some tall grass in frustration. A second later, some rustling came from the grass, surprising the Eds.
"What's that, you guys?" asked Ed. He got his answer as three bird-like pokemon flew out of the grass and flew at the Eds.
"Are those Pokemon?" asked Edd as he pointed the pokedex at them.
"Starly, the Starling Pokemon. They flock in great numbers. Though small, they flap their wings with great power." said the pokedex.
"Man, I hate birds!" yelled Eddy.
"What do we do, guys?" asked Ed. Suddenly, their Pokemon ran in front of them and got into battle stances.
"Fellows, I think our Pokemon want to battle them." said Edd. "Okay, Piplup, use Pound on the Starly on the left." Piplup leaps towards the Starly and swings its flipper at the Starly, striking it in the head.
"Starly!" exclaimed Starly.
"Turtwig, use, uh...Tackle!" said Ed. Turtwig ran toward the Starly on the right and slams its head into the Starly's chest, knocking it back.
"Starly!" exclaimed the Starly.
"Okay! Okay! Chimchar, use Leer." said Eddy. Chimchar's eyes glowed light blue and he leers at the Starly, making it flinch, and in the process, lowering its defense. "Now use Scratch." Chimchar lunged forward and scratches the Starly across the chest, knocking it down. Two of the Starly flew away.
"We did it, you guys!" said Ed. He then notices one of the Starlies on the ground, struggling to get up. Remembering what Professor Rowan explaining how to capture Pokemon, he pulls an empty pokeball out of his pocket, pushes the button on it to enlarge it and throws it at the Starly and it hits it. The pokeball opens up, the Starly turns into a red light and gets sucked into the pokeball and it closes. The pokeball lands on the ground and it begins wiggling. Ed kept looking at the pokeball wiggling until it stopped and clicks. Ed walks over to the pokeball and picks it up. "You guys, I just captured a Starly!"
"Congratulations, Ed. Your first capture." praised Edd.
"Turtwig!" cheered Turtwig. Ed runs to him and hugs him. Edd walks over to Piplup and kneels to him.
"You did marvelous, Piplup." said Edd. Eddy suddenly jumps in.
"Yeah, yeah. We may have won that battle and got another Pokemon; but we still have other things to worry about." said Eddy. Suddenly, the pokedex chimed. Edd opens it and looks at the screen.
"Oh. It looks like that battle made our Pokemon a bit stronger. They each learned a new attack. My Piplup now knows Water Gun. Ed, your Turtwig now knows Leafage. Eddy, your Chimchar now knows Ember." said Edd. He then uses the pokedex to learn more about Ed's new Starly. "Ed, your new Starly knows the moves Tackle, and Growl and it has the ability, Keen Eye, an ability that prevents accuracy loss."
"Cool." said Ed.
"No one listens to me." said Eddy. They suddenly hear a voice behind them.
"Excuse me." the voice said. They turn to see a small boy around their age walking towards them. "Are any of you Pokemon trainers?" the boy asked.
"I believe we are. We're technically still beginners, mind you." said Edd.
"That's okay. I was hoping one of you would want to have a Pokemon Battle with me." said the boy.
"Pokemon Battle?" replied Ed.
"Oh. I read about that in the book Professor Rowan gave us. A Pokemon Battle is a contest in which two trainers' Pokemon fight each other. Each side uses all their Pokemon in combat. The trainer who's able to defeat all their opponent's Pokemon is the winner." explained Edd.
"Yes. So do any of you want to have a Pokemon Battle?" asked the boy. Ed pushes Eddy forward.
"Do it, Eddy. It'll be fun." said Ed.
"Don't push me, Ed!" Eddy yelled at Ed. He looks back at the boy who has a pokeball ready in his hand. "Fine, let's just get this over with. Hey, Chimchar. Come over and battle."
"Chimchar." says Chimchar as it runs in front of Eddy and gets ready. The boy throws his pokeball.
"Starly. I choose you." says the boy. The ball opens, releasing the same kind of Pokemon the Eds just battled against.
"Man, I hate birds." said Eddy. "Okay, Chimchar. Use Scratch." Chimchar jumps forward and scratches the Starly across the face.
"Starly!" yelled Starly.
"Starly. Use Tackle." said the boy. Starly flies forward and rams into Chimchar's chest. Eddy was starting to look worried. He looks towards Edd.
"Double-D. What was the name of that attack Chimchar learned a minute ago?" asked Eddy.
"I believe it was called Ember." said Edd.
"Okay. Chimchar, use Ember." said Eddy. Chimchar opens its mouth and breaths out small bits of fire, which hit the Starly's chest. Suddenly, the Starly cringes as small parts of it's chest catch on fire.
"Starly!" the boy yells. Eddy looks surprised.
"Hey. What happened?" asked Eddy.
"I believe it just got the status condition known as Burn. When a Pokemon gets burned, it takes damage each turn and it's attack power gets lower." explained Edd.
"We're not done yet. Starly, use Growl." said the boy. Starly growls at Chimchar, making it flinch and lower's its attack power. Suddenly, the Starly freezes up and falls to the ground. They see that it's eyes were all swirly.
"It looks like the burns were too much for Starly, so it fainted. That's what happens when a Pokemon runs out of stamina and it can't battle anymore. That means you win, Eddy." said Edd.
"You won, Eddy!" yelled Ed as he ran up to Eddy and hugs him.
"Yeah, yeah. Let go of me, Ed." said Eddy, making Ed release him. The boy points Starly's pokeball at it.
"Starly, return." said the boy. Starly returns to the pokeball and the boy puts the pokeball in his pocket. He then looks towards Eddy and walks up to him. "Well, you won. Here you go." said the boy as he handed Eddy some money.
"What's this?" asked Eddy. Edd looks at the money in Eddy's hand.
"I believe it's the currency here, Eddy. It's called 'pokedollars'. Why are you giving it to Eddy?" asked Edd.
"You see, after a Pokemon Battle between two trainers, the losing trainer has to give the winning trainer half the money they have on them." explained the boy. Eddy's eyes lit up with dollar signs.
"YOU MEAN I CAN GET FREE MONEY JUST BY BEATING OTHER TRAINERS IN POKEMON BATTLES?!" Eddy asked with much enthusiasm, shocking the boy.
"Yes." said the boy. Eddy runs up to Chimchar and gives him a big hug.
"C'mere you little money-maker you." said Eddy.
"Chimchar." Chimchar happily says, hugging Eddy back.
"Well I'd better get Starly to the Pokemon Center. See you guys later." said the boy as he runs off.
"Pokemon Center?" asked Ed.
"It's a medical facility that specializes in healing Pokemon who are injured or exhausted. Fortunately, their services are completely free so we don't have to pay to have our Pokemon treated." explained Edd.
"Good. We don't have to spend the money I won." said Eddy. "Let's find some more trainers to battle. The more we win, the more money we get."
"That's the spirit, Eddy. But we should also train our Pokemon to make them stronger so we have a better chance of winning future battles." suggested Edd.
"Battle? Did someone say battle?" another voice said. They look to see a girl walking towards them. "Would any of you three be interested in having a Pokemon Battle with me?" the girl asked. Ed pushes Edd forward.
"It's your turn, Double-D." said Ed.
"Please don't push, Ed. It's rude." said Edd. He looks at Piplup. "Piplup, let's battle." Piplup waddles over to Edd and faces the trainer. The girl holds up a pokeball.
"Bidoof, I choose you." said the girl, throwing the pokeball. It opens up and releases a brown, rodent-like Pokemon. Edd points the pokedex at it.
"Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokemon. It constantly gnaws on logs and rocks to whittle down its teeth. It nests along water." the pokedex explained.
"Very well. Piplup, use Water Gun." said Edd. Piplup jumps up and opens its beak. Water shoots out of it and it hits Bidoof.
"Bidoof!" exclaimed Bidoof.
"Bidoof, use Tackle." said the girl. Bidoof runs towards Piplup and rams him in the chest with its head.
"Piplup!" exclaimed Piplup.
"Piplup, use Pound." said Edd. Piplup leaps towards Bidoof and strikes it in the head with his flipper.
"BIDOOF!" exclaimed Bidoof. It falls to the ground with swirly eyes.
"Oh, Bidoof. Return." said the girl and returns the Bidoof to its pokeball. The girl puts it away and takes out another pokeball. "That Bidoof wasn't my only one. I choose you, Bidoof." She throws the pokeball and it opens, releasing another Bidoof.
"Very well. Piplup, use Growl." said Edd.
"PIPLUP!" Piplup yells at Bidoof, making it quiver and lowering its attack power.
"Bidoof, Tackle." said the girl. The Bidoof runs towards Piplup and rams him. It wasn't as strong as the first Bidoof's Tackle, due to its strength weakening from Growl.
"Piplup!" exclaimed Piplup.
"Piplup. Use Water Gun." said Edd. Piplup shoots water out of his beak and it hits Bidoof.
"Bidoof!" exclaimed Bidoof.
"Bidoof. Growl." said the girl. Bidoof growled at Piplup, making him quiver and weakening its strength.
"Piplup, use Water Gun again." said Edd. Piplup shoots water at Bidoof again and it hits it.
"BIDOOF!" exclaimed Bidoof and it flew back and falls to the ground with swirly eyes. The girl drops to her knees.
"Looks like I lost." said the girl, return her Bidoof to its pokeball. She gets up and walks over to Edd and she gives him pokedollars. "Good battle."
"Thank you." said Edd. The girl turns around and walks away. "Well, fellows. We best be on our way." The Eds were walking through the woods with Ed ahead of them, laughing, until they encounter another boy. Ed stops and looks at the boy.
"Excuse me, but would you like to have a Pokemon Battle with me?" the boy asked Ed.
"Yes he would." said Eddy as he and Edd both pushed Ed forward. Ed looked back at them and then back at the boy.
"Sure, I'll battle with you." said Ed. The boy pulls out a pokeball.
"Shinx, I choose you." said the boy, throwing the pokeball. It opens up and releases a lion cub-like Pokemon that's light blue in its front half and black in its back half. Edd points the pokedex at it.
"Shinx, the Flash Pokemon. Its forelegs have a muscle-based system of generating electricity. Its body shines when it is in danger." said the pokedex. Turtwig runs in front of Ed.
"Turtwig, Tackle!" exclaimed Ed. Turtwig runs toward Shinx and rams it with his head.
"Shinx!" cries Shink as it skids back.
"Shinx, Tackle it back." said the boy. Shinx ran towards Turtwig and rams him with its head.
"Twig!" exclaimed Turtwig. Ed turns towards Edd.
"Uh, Double-D. What was that attack Turtwig now knows?" asked Ed.
"Leafage, Ed." replied Edd.
"Oh. Turtwig, use Leafage!" said Ed. Glowing green leaves came out of Turtwig's shell and started spinning. They flew towards Shinx and strike it.
"SHINX!" exclaimed Shinx. It staggered across the ground and falls down. It's eyes were now swirly.
"Oh, Shinx." said the boy, running to it and gathering it in his arms. He looks at Ed. "I guess you win."
"Yay!" cheered Ed. The boy returns Shinx to its pokeball. He walks over to Ed and gives him pokedollars. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. That was a good battle. We should do it again sometime." said the boy.
"Okay." said Ed. The boy walks past the Eds. Edd looks at the other two.
"Maybe we should bring our Pokemon to the Pokemon Center so they can be healed." suggested Edd.
"Where can we find one?" asked Eddy. Edd pulls out the map that Professor Rowan gave them.
"According to this map, the nearest Pokemon Center is in a city called Jubilife. It's just a little bit further north of here." said Edd. Eddy looks at the money he won in his hands.
"This Pokemon stuff became a lot more interesting." said Eddy.
"Let's continue on our way, gentlemen." said Edd. They continue to walk down the path. Next stop: Jubilife City.
