Chapter 1: The Journey begins
Cruise awoke the next morning. And that's when he realized his Cousin Harry's cousin Dudley my had messed with his alarm clock when Harry and The Dursley's visited. Harry was Cruise's late Mother's nephew, and as such Harry was permitted to stay the summer vacations with them. " I'm gonna murder that fat tub of lard." He said racing down the stairs. " GOTTA GO DAD, I'M LATE!" He added running for Professor Oak's Lab. " PROFESSOR!" He said charging into the Lab. Seeing a Girl pick up Charmander. (Bulbasaur and Squirtle are already taken.)
The girl, named Arin, shook her head as she watched him come in. "If you want a Charmander, you're out of luck, sorry," she apologized, Charmander making his usual noises, tilting his head at Cruise.
" My Cousin's Fat Bully of a Cousin Dudley messed up my Alarm clock." He explained. " I did want Charmander but that's Okay, I can work with Bulbasaur, My other cousin Ash has a great one." He said. He opened it but nothing came out. " Empty?" He said.
" Looks like somebody took that one, too," Arin noted.
" No Problem, Misty taught me alot about Water Pokemon, so I'll choose Squirtle." He opened it but nothing came out. " This one too." He said. " I'm gonna murder that Pig!" He said. " What am I gonna do I want to start my Journey." The Dursley's tended to try to manipulate things around Cruise despite him not living with them, this case, they didn't want him becoming a Pokemon Trainer.
Then Professor Oak came, smiling. "It would seem all the good Pokémon have been taken, huh?" He asked.
Cruise was too depressed. " I hate it when the Dursleys do this, it's bad enough they do it to Harry." He said.
" What was your favorite Pokémon, Cruise?" Professor Oak then asked.
" Pikachu, but I don't even have My Cousin's luck." He said.
Professor Oak smiled. "Well, you're in luck, I just happen to have a Pikachu!" Oak revealed.
The Pokeball opened and out came a Pikachu, Cruise almost picked Pikachu up but remembered his, Cousin. " Hi Pikachu." He said. " I'm Cruise your new Partner." He said.
Pikachu's eyes brightened. "Pikachu?" He squeaked curiously. Arin smiled while holding her Charmander. "Well, he does look cute," she commented.
Cruise gently scratched Pikachu's chin. Then scooped him up and hugged him.
Cruise checked the tail tip. " It's a boy." He said. " Thank you Professor." He said.
Professor Oak nodded. "My pleasure, just make sure to take good care of your Pikachu, Cruise," he said.
" You know I will." He said. " Before I leave don't Arin and I need something?" He asked.
" Ah, yes, two important things for your Pokémon training. Poke balls and your very own Pokedexes," Oak said, handing the said items to them. Arin accepted hers with enthusiasm. She was ready to begin her Pokémon training.
" Thank you Professor." Cruise said.
" I wish the both of you luck with your Pokémon training,"
Oak said.
" Hang on Professor, can I borrow your phone?" Cruise asked.
" Sure, who do you need to call?" Oak asked.
" Oh a relative." He said typing in the Dursley's number. " Please let Dudley pick up, Please let Dudley pick up." He chanted. He knew Vernon and Petunia would blew a gasket if they knew he was going on a Pokemon Journey but Dudley would get it the worst if he learned his sabotage backfired. " Stay hidden Pikachu until I give the signal, okay buddy?" He asked.
Pikachu nodded. "Pika!" He said, doing just that as he went to hide.
Cruise waited though knowing how the Dursley's treat Harry he might answer first, which would be great because he had good news for him too.
" Hello?" Asked Harry on the phone,
" Hi Harry how are you?" He asked.
" I'm hanging in there with them as usual. What's going on with you?" Harry asked curiously.
" Well my Dad called The European CPS on your Aunt and Uncle and filed for full custody." He said. " Also are they home right now?" He asked his cousin.
" It is just me with Aunt Petunia and Dudley. Uncle Vernon's at his usual work right now," Harry said.
" Okay have Dudley on please?" He asked. He pretended to look angry so Dudley wouldn't catch on, Dudley was dumb but if Cruise wasn't angry he would catch on.
" Alright, I'll get him, but it might take a while, you know how he is around me," Harry said, knowing he'd have to trick Dudley to talk to Cruise.
" Tell him I look upset." He said knowing that might trick Dudley into thinking his plan worked.
" Alright," Harry said as he went off to get him.
"Cruise? Dudley asked, feeling annoyed. "I don't have time to talk to somebody like you," he huffed.
" You messed with my Clock didn't you?" Cruise asked in a disappointed tone. " Why?"
" I just wanted to have fun with your sleep schedule, freak," taunted Dudley.
" Admit it you just didn't want me to go on My Journey did you?" He asked.
" You are too much of a freak to train those beasts. I needed to do something to prevent you from going." Dudley sneered.
" Oh really?" He asked. He then tapped Pikachu on the head. " Then what's this?" He asked.
" Pika Pika!" Pikachu shouted angrily in the phone, making Dudley yelp out loud. "No hell way! How?!" He shouted in fury. "I thought you wouldn't be able to get one if I made you late!"
" Turns out Professor Oak was onto you and your parents." Cruise said.
Dudley was furious. "Well then you'd better not bring your lame freak pet around here!" He shouted.
" Oh there's more coming when your father gets home." Cruise smiled.
" You—!" Shouted Dudley, at a loss for words because he was so angry.
Cruise hung up. " Justice has been served." He said. " Dad said to meet Harry at Vermillion Harbor."
Arin walked up. "Can I join you?" She asked.
" Sure." He said. " Pikachu, how do you want to travel?" He asked. " Do you want to go into your Pokeball?" He asked.
Pikachu shook his head. "Pika," he protested, holding onto Cruise's leg.
" Okay." Cruise said. Hugging his buddy." Hey Arin, you got your supplies or do you need to head home and get it?" He asked.
Arin shook her head, "I always pack early," she stated, holding up her backpack and canteen.
" I still need to pack." Cruise said. " Wanna join me?" He asked.
" Sure," Arin replied with a grin.
" Dad I'm Home." Cruise said. He saw his father's Lucario meditating. " Watch this." Cruise said to Arin. He picked up a Tennis Ball and tossed it at Lucario. Lucario caught it, while still in his position.
" Wow!" Arin exclaimed in amazement.
Cruise was upstairs packing, he heard a tap at his window and saw a familiar looking Dragonesque Pokemon. " Charizard?" He asked, recognizing his cousin's Pokemon." Meet me downstairs I'll bee there soon." He headed downstairs after packing and opened the door. " What's up?"
" Rawr." Charizard roared softly, showed him a sleeping Charmander in his arms.
" You and Charla?" He asked. Charizard nodded, Charmander woke up. " Hey little Charmander, your father wants you to join my team, what do you say?" Cruise asked holding up a Pokeball.
" Char!" Charmander tapped the button hoped in, and the ball pinged.
" Hey Cruise." Aaron, Cruise's father said.
" Hey Dad, what's up?" Cruise asked.
" Could you give this to your Cousin, It's a Homecoming Present?" He said, giving his Son a Pokeball.
" Sure Dad." Cruise said. " Hey, Arin I'm ready." he said.
Arin hauled her backpack on. "So am I," she proclaimed. "And so is Charmander."
" So is Charmander going into the Pokeball or what?" He asked.
Arin glanced over. "You ready to get into your Pokeball?" She asked. Charmander nodded, and Arin summoned him into it.
" So what do you want to catch?" Cruise asked.
" I've been thinking of catching a Pidgeotto for my team to start," Arin decided.
Suddenly a Pidgey flew out in front of them. " Well, why not start here Pidgey does evolve into Pidgeotto after all." Cruise reminded.
Arin shrugged. "I suppose you're right. She pulled out her Pokeball. "I choose you, Charmander!" She called. Charmander appeared in front of Pidgey, ready to battle.
Pidgey kicked up a Gust of Wind. " Kerroooooou!" It called.
Charmander dodged, shooting a flame back at Pidgey.
" Charmander, ember attack!" Called Arin. Charmander dodged Pidgy's attack and shot small flames from his mouth.
Pidgey took the Attack, and was weakened.
Arin focused then threw her Pokeball, summoning Pidgey into it. She waited while the Pokeball moved around for a bit then settled. Arin cheered at her success at catching her first Pokémon.
" Well first let's go to Pewter City." He said. " from what I've read it's a Rock Pokemon, so we may need some Grass or Water." He said.
Arin nodded. "My next goal is to get a Bulbasaur for my grass Pokémon and a Starmie for my water one." She said.
" Me too, accept I'm going for a Squirtle in my case." He said. " And maybe it would be safer to start with a Staryu." He said.
" Because eventually it evolves into a Starmie like my Pidgey, right?" Arin asked.
" It's more rewarding to raise and train the Pokemon into the Desired form." Cruise said.
Arin smiled at the idea. "That's what I'm looking forward to," she said.
They kept walking. " Wanna Battle?" Cruise asked. " It'll help our Pokemon stay in shape."
Arin grinned. "You're on!" She challenged.
" You can choose first." Cruise said.
She thought for a moment then decided on her new Pokémon. "Pidgey, I choose you!" She exclaimed, throwing her Pokeball. Pidgey came out in a battle position.
" Pikachu, I Choose You!" Cruise called as Pikachu lept off his Shoulder. " Pika!"
"Pidgey!" Pidgey squawked, rising into the air. "Pidgey, Gust attack!" Arin instructed. Pidgey raised his wings, sending out a harsh wind at Pikachu.
" Pikachu, Thundershock!" Cruise called. After Pikachu recovered from being blown back.
" Pika-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Pikachu called zapping Pidgey. Pidgey went down easy.
" Flying Types are weak to Electrical Attacks." Cruise explained.
Arin nodded, calling Pidgey back into her Pokeball. "I'll keep that in mind," she said. "Good move."
" Well let' see what Charmander can do." Cruise said.
Arin summoned out Charmander, who stood ready. "Charmander, Flamethrower attack!" She shouted. Charmander shot a blast of fire from his mouth.
" Pikachu, return!" Cruise called. Drawing a Pokeball from his belt. " Charmander, I Choose You!" He called sending Charmander out.
" Char!"
Arin gasped. "What? How did you get a Charmander?" She exclaimed in disbelief.
" My Cousin has a Charizard who's training in the Charicific Valley in Johto, He and Charla, a Charizard owned by Liza the Keeper of The Valley, got started a family and Charizard gave me this one." Cruise said.
Arin was amazed. "Wow!" She breathed.
" Charmander start off with Scratch!" Cruise called. Cruise's Charmander swiped at Arin's Charmander with it's Claws.
Arian's Charmander yelped from the attack, leaping out of the way before it could get hit again.
"Ember attack, Charmander!" Arin exclaimed. Charmander let loose a series of hot embers from his mouth at the other.
" Use Ember too."Cruise called the embers clashed creating an explosion. With which Cruise's Charmander fainted.
Arin winced when her Charmander fainted too.. "Charmander, returned," she said, summoning him back.
" Guess that means I win, sense Pikachu is still up and..." Cruise paused. " Of Course, I won with one shot because your Pidgey was still low on energy from that battle with your Charmander." Cruise said. " I mean sure I had the Type advantage but you didn't get to heal Pidgey."
Arin winced. "Perhaps there's a Pokémon healing center around?" She asked.
Cruise opened up a map. " There's one in, Viridian City." He said.
" Then should we get going?" Arin asked, saddling up her bag.
