Pokémon Chaos Emerald Version
The trees around the small town of Littleroot Town rustled as a gentle breeze glided over them. On a small slope rested a blue hedgehog with a green bandana around his head. He wore a black and red t-shirt and black and gray pants.
"Sonic!" a girl's voice cried out to the hedgehog. "Sonic!" She was a pink hedgehog with a green bandana covering the top of her head. She wore a red dress with black shorts under it. Sonic sat up and faced the girl running towards him.
"What's up, Amy?" he wondered, getting to his feet.
She took a few breaths before she spoke. "Tails…Tails is in trouble! He went into the tall grass- I don't know what to do!"
"Calm down, Amy," Sonic replied. "Where is he?" They ran to the north, to the edge of the tall grass on Route 101, and further ahead was a little fox boy, surrounded by wild Pokémon. The furry Pokémon growled at him, and then lunged at him. Tails managed to escape, but the bag he had around him was flung towards the two hedgehogs, with three round capsules tumbling out of them.
"Sonic! Those are PokéBalls!" Amy informed.
"Maybe they've got Pokémon in them," he said, stooping to pick one up. "We can use them to help Tails!"
He grabbed a PokéBall with a green sticker on it. The pink one picked one with a red sticker on it as Sonic threw his towards the wild Pokémon.
The capsule opened with a white light as a green lizard Pokémon appeared. Amy's PokéBall had an orange, birdlike Pokémon. They both turned their heads to face the hedgehogs who had thrown them.
"Attack the wild Pokémon!" they ordered, and the Pokémon rushed to the fox's side. The lizard pounded the heads of the small wild Pokémon while the bird scratched them with her claws. Soon the Pokémon ran away, and Tails stood up, checking to see if they'd taken anything.
"Oh, Sonic!" he said, smiling, running out of the grass. "And Amy! Thank you so much!" He then noticed the two Pokémon who'd been released. He let out a gasp. "Those are my dad's special Pokémon!" he said. "Treecko and Torchic!" The remaining PokéBall he opened, revealing a little blue Pokémon with orange cheeks. "This is Mudkip. They're ultra-rare Pokémon, and I was supposed to take care of them while he was away..."
"We were just borrowing them, Tails," Amy assured, picking up the PokéBall and returning the Torchic to her home. Sonic did the same, holding out the ball to his friend.
"Thanks guys, but…maybe could you hold onto them for me? My dad wants me to raise them, but I don't think I could raise all three of them on my own. I think I'll hang on to Mudkip. Could you guys keep those Pokémon? As a thanks for saving me. You can give them nicknames too."
"Really?" Amy said, opening her PokéBall again, the Torchic gazing up at her. The two had heard all about Pokémon, and they sounded very cool to have. "Well… I think I'll name her Chic." The Torchic went back into her PokéBall after bouncing happily.
"I think I'll stick with Treecko," Sonic said, then turned to Tails. "Are you sure your dad will be okay with us having these Pokémon?"
"I'm sure. In fact, I think he'd be all for it. Hey, come to my dad's lab, and I'll give you something special." The two-tailed fox trotted off towards the Pokémon lab in Littleroot town. Before Sonic could catch up, Amy blocked off his route.
"Hey Sonic. I heard that you raise Pokémon by winning battles! Let's fight!" She flung her PokéBall towards Sonic, who reluctantly tossed his own. The Treecko and Torchic locked eyes with each other.
"Chic, use Scratch!" Amy commanded. The little bird Pokémon charged towards Treecko, slashing at him with her talons.
"Treecko!" Sonic called. "Hang in there! Use Leer!" Treecko gave Chic a look that made her feathers smooth down, like she was lowering her guard. "Now use Pound!"
In a flash the Pokémon slammed his fist down on the Torchic's head, knocking her out. Amy let out a little gasp and rushed to the Pokémon's side, cradling her.
"I'm sorry, Chic," she whispered. She glared at Sonic with a stuck out bottom lip.
"What? You asked for a fight!" She ran off towards her house with her Pokémon clutched to her chest. Treecko glanced up at Sonic as if wanting something. He smiled at the Pokémon, patting his head. "Good job, pal," he offered. "You did great." He held out the PokéBall as he said, "you deserve a little rest." The Pokémon showed a smile before going back into his PokéBall.
Sonic headed for the lab where Amy and Tails waited for him. "Sonic! You won your first battle?" Tails asked. "I thought you'd let Amy win, since you li-Ow!" he said when his older friend jabbed his shoulder.
"So what's up? What'd you want to give us?"
"My dad ordered these. There's three of them, so they must be for us. They're called Pokédexes. They record information on Pokémon you catch. He probably wanted you two to have them with the Pokémon." He handed them small red computers. "Keep them. He'd probably want you to catch as many Pokémon as possible so the Pokédex would fill up. It'd help with his research.
"You'll need these, too," he said as he handed them five empty PokéBalls each. "When you catch a Pokémon, their information will be logged in on the Pokédex."
"How many kinds of Pokémon are there, Tails?" Amy wondered.
He frowned up. "I dunno. Probably hundreds." Sonic whistled.
"Guess we'll have to travel all of Hoenn to finish this thing, huh? And we don't have nearly enough PokéBalls."
"Don't worry. There's PokéMarts in towns everywhere in Hoenn. You can buy extras there when you run out."
"What if our Pokémon get tired?" Amy wondered. "We can't keep coming back here to heal them."
"All the towns and cities have these building with red roofs called Pokémon Centers. They'll heal your Pokémon for you."
"So we go all across Hoenn to catch Pokémon for your dad, and we have to raise them too?"
"Yeah. My dad says some Pokémon evolve when they're raised to a certain point. That means they change into another Pokémon. So that'll help the Pokédex too.
"And Trainers from around the world might have some Pokémon that you've missed. The Pokédex can show you where you can catch the Pokémon you've seen to complete it."
"All right. I got it now," Sonic said, smiling. "Don't worry Tails. We'll complete the Pokédex for you, and raise all the Pokémon we catch."
"Yeah, Tails," Amy agreed. "Sonic and I are gonna travel together and fill it side by side!" Sonic's right ear drooped down in confusion.
"Uh…yeah. You can count on us, little buddy."
As the sun set Tails ran off to see the two Trainers, ready to leave off on their adventure. They had their bags packed and their Pokémon rested.
"All right you guys," he said, "Just take Route 101 up to Oldale Town. There should be a good place to start."
"Bye, Tails," Amy said, waving. "We'll get all the Pokémon and travel all of Hoenn, right Sonic?"
"Yep," he said before he kneeled to meet the fox's eye level. "Take care Tails. And look after your Mudkip, too."
"I will, Sonic," he assured. "You take care of your Treecko, okay?"
The hedgehog tasseled the boy's head. Sonic stood up and turned to start walking with his Pokémon. Amy trotted alongside him with her Chic, ready to take on the Hoenn region and all the Pokémon and Trainers.
