Onyx side, First battle
The two walked out to a small clearing in the nearby forest, this place the two made thier secret spot, it was large enough for them to battle with. The two walked into it with their eevees and readied for battle.
"You ready to be beat Riku?" Chase shouted tauntingly
"Only if your ready to lose!" Riku shouted back
"This is it buddy" Chase said to rush. he then whispered to Rush "If we start to lose I'll say sneasel tactics, the pretend to look like you almost beat, that'll get them open for a sneak attack" Rush nodded and grinned at the plan he had
"Let's go Dash!" Riku said to Dash. All of them were finished with preperations and gave and order
"Go, Tackle now!" The two trainers shouted at once, the eevees charged a eachother and hit headfirst, resulting in both getting knocked back, but neither were hurt badly
"Dash, sand-attack!" Riku shouted, Dash jumped to his feet and kicked up a cloud at dust as Rush using his hind legs.
"Don't let it hit you Rush! Tail whip it away!" After getting up, Rush quickly turned around and deflected the sand-attack with one swing of his tail.
"Not bad, but not good enough! Dash, Tackle!" Rush didn't have the time to dodge since he was turned around as Dash tackled him from behind and pushed him to the ground.
"Argh! I can't lose" Chase shouted he hid his grin and whispered "Sneasel tactic" and Rush pretended to be weak "Rush...are you ok?...come on..." Chase faked
"No strength left huh?" Riku said confiently, "Dash, let's wrap this up with tackle!"
"That's it," Chase though to himself, waiting for the time to strike, "Now! Sand attack!" He shouted
"What!" he shouts in shock.When Dash ran close enough, Rush kicked up another cloud of dust at Dash. He yelped as he tried to shake it off.
"Now tackle!" Chase shouted,Chase followed up on his combo move. Rush dove into Dash and sent him into the ground. Riku was infuriated.
"Argh! You tricked me again!" He shouted
"You let your guard down again" Chase said grinning at him
"Oh yeah? Dash, full power Tackle!" He shouted angrily.
"Don't let that get to you Rush, Tackle attack! Give it all you got!" Chase shouted. The two eevees charged at full speed at one another, they collieded head to head and were render unconcouis at the same time.
"Whoa! Are they ok?" Chase shouted out
"Dash…they're out cold…" Riku said checking his eevee
"I'm sorry buddy...let's get them to the center Riku" Chase said while picking rush up
"Ok" Riku agreed, looking worried
"Wow, didn't see that coming...I hope they don't hate us for this..." Chase said, slight fear in his voice
"Yeah...they should be ok after Nurse Joy checks them out" Riku said as they reached the pokecenter
"Excuse me nurse joy..." Chase said quietly, Nurse Joy turned around and saw the boys holding the knocked out eevees
"What happened to them?" She asked
"um...a snorlax did it!" Riku said, not wanting to be yelled at
"Don't lie Riku, they were a little overzealous in their first battle" Chase admitted "Fine! They got hurt fighting each other! Happy now?" Riku said, feeling angry again
"Well don't let them get so carried away! Young pokemon don't know when to stop!"
"Well, we're still young too..." Chase said, sounding intimidated
Nurse Joy Sighed "that's true...Just try to show more restraint next time alright?
"ok..." Riku said, calming down
Joy looked at the eevees "they're only are unconscious, i can fix heal in just a few minutes" Riku just replied with a worried stare,
Nurse Joy then took them into back room "You two stay out here, I'll be back in a minute"
Chase and Riku headed into the lobby, Chase went to the vending machine and got some soda and handed a can to Riku "Here man, this'll calm you" he said
"...Thanks..." Riku said and took a drink, still thinking about the two eevees
"She said they'd be ok" Chase said trying to make his friend feel better
"Yeah but, we got carried away..." Riku said, showing signs of regret
"I'm sure they got just as lost in their first battle as we did..." Chase said looking down
"Maybe..." Riku said while taking another sip.
They remained silent for a few minutes, When Joy walked in followed by dash and rush, looking recovered
"Dash!" Riku Said excitedly as he picked up Dash
"Rush! Are you ok? I'm so sorry" Chase said while picking up Rush
"Yeah, me too Dash" Riku said
"It's ok" Rush and Dash said even though Chase and Riku couldn't understand them
Both trainers, seemed to know what they said, and they soon started talking about the future "Well Riku...it seems that we're soon gonna head out, huh?" Chase said
"Yup, the whole gym challenge thing..." Riku said
"Well we need only eights badges, perhaps it's best if we went our seprate ways..." Chase said
"...Yeah, I guess so..." Riku said, they were soon interupted by a voice
"Riku! are you here?" came the voice, Chase and Riku instantly knew who it was
"Oh no..." Riku said in fear
"Brat alert!" Chase whispered
"There you are..." She Stopped when she noticed Chase. "Hi Chase!" She says in that girly tone, it was Jasmine, and she has a crush on Chase
"Uhh..." Chase Deepened his voice "I have no idea who you are talking about young lady...I'm not any Chase"
"You can't fool me Chasy!" She said giggling
"Don't call me that Brat!" Chase shouted
"Aw, you thought up a name for me too...how sweet!" She said then hugged him. Riku started laughing his head off.
"Get off me!" he shouted futilely trying to push her off "Riku help!"
Riku was laughing on the ground by now. "my ribs!" he shouted while still laughing
"What are they doing?" Dash asks Rush staring at their trainers confused about their behavior
" I have no idea..." Rush said, Jasmine heard them and saw them
"Aww! They're so cute!" she said picking them up and started squeezing them
"She's crazy!" Dash shouted, struggling to break free
"Ack! why won't she let go?" Rush said doing the same
"He sis! Put them down!" Riku shouted at Jasmine
"Leave Rush alone!" Chase shouted
"Aww...they're so cute though..." she said and put them down.
"Your bad enough strangling me, but leave my eevee out of this!" Chase shouted
"They're called Eevee? There so cute, just like you!" Sha said and ran up hugged Chase again.
"No! Urgh..." was all he could get out
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" Riku balled out in laughter again
"So, when's the wedding?" Riku asked
"Your...not...helping!" Chase struggled out
"A wedding?" She said as her eye's light up
"No!" Chase shouted and started struggling even harder "Stupid...death...grip!"
"This is rich! Ha ha ha Call it payback for that shoe thing!" Riku said And continued laughing "He says he like you too.." he lied
"I'm...gonna...get...you...Riku!" Chase squeaked "Let go you leech!"
Riku laughed evilly then noticed both Eevee's are gone. "Hey! Where did Dash and Rush go?" he shouted
"What!" hearing this gave chase enough strength to break free "Where are they!
"They must be in the center somewhere..." Riku said, sounding worried
"see what you did now you brat! You scared em' " Chase shouted at Jasmine
"But..." She said sadly, sounding like she was ready to cry
"Oh, no don't try any of that weepy crap on me!" Chase said, still mad
"...But..." She said again then ran out of the center crying
"Oh, great. Nicely done Romeo." Riku replied sarcasticly,
"Don't tell me you had pity on her Riku..." Chase gritted between his teeth "She deserved it anyway!"
"I think you should apologize..." Riku said. "But for now, we should find the Eevee's."
"Rush you can come out now" Chase called
Riku looked under a table and saw them cowering in fear. "Found 'em! Hey Chase there under the table."
Chased Picked up and petted Rush, "It's ok she's gone..." he comforted Rush
"They look terrified..." Riku said
Chase then looked at a clock "wow it's already 6:00 I gotta get home for dinner!" He said, Hearing the word dinner Rush jumps up in excitement
"Yeah! I'm starved!" Dash said, heading towards the door
"Let's get going She might come back!" Dash called to Rush
"I'll see you tomorrow dude...we start our journey tomorrow..." Chase said
"Alright!...hold up! Aren't you forgetting something...?" Riku said crossing his arms
"I'm not apologizing to any brat who nearly kills me or my pokemon" Chase said still angry at her "My ribs are still sore!"
Riku grinned. "Yeah but still, she does really like you and, you did hurt her feelings..." he said
Chase sighed "The damn guilt trip...works every time...fine" he said reluctantly
Riku smiled then laughed. "I'm going with you, that was way too funny and I don't want to miss a thing!" Chase Growled at Riku "Wait up for me, I have to go get some popcorn!" He said and ran off with Dash right behind him
"You just want me to apologize because you wanna see if she does it again don't you?" Chase said
"Exactly!" Riku replied, not afraid to admit it.
"If that's the case, I'm not apologizing unless you not anywhere near!" Chase shouted at Riku
Riku Stopped in his tracks while running, "Aww...If you say so..." He said, Chase saw him put his arms behind his back and run off but didn't know why, Chase let out a sigh and went to find Jasmine, when he found her she was still crying.
"Jasmine..." he said, Jasmine didn't notice at first "Jasmine...I'm...sorry" He forced out
Jasmine snifffled a bit "...Chase..." she said while she finally stopped crying "I'm sorry, i shouldn't have messed with your eevee.."
"I didn't mean to yell at you...but you just had me so annoyed..." Chase said
"I'm sorry.." Jasmine said, about to cry again
"I mean come on, you hardly let me breathe" Chase said, slight joke in his voice
"Yeah but-" she was about to say but stopped as she saw Dash wandering his way there.
"Isn't that Riku's Eevee?" She asked
"Dash? Alright where's Riku?" Chase demanded, Dash looked at a few bushes Chase Picked up a rock and threw at the bush
"Oww! Who threw that?" Riku shouted from the bushes, then realized his cover was blown.
"Why you.." Jasmine said angrily
"Riku! you said you were gonna go home" Chase shouted, just as angry
"Dang...way to go, Furball!" Riku shouted angrily at Dash, Dash growled at Riku "...Aw crud..." he said, knowing what was coming and ran off, an angry eevee behind him
"Well, I gotta get home, I'll see you later" Chase said
"Ok...Bye chasy!" She called to him
"Hey..." Chase started but sighed "...Alright" Jasmine giggled and went home "Come on Rush, lets go home" Rush followed his new trainer to his house, "Wait till my mom meets you Rush" Chase said, the two reached Chases house and went inside, "Mom? I'm home!" Chase shouted
"Chase? it's almost time for dinner" Chase's mom shouted
"Hey mom! I got my first pokemon!" Chase said, while holding Rush
"Oh! a eevee!" His mom said, she went over and patted him on the head "He's cute, does this mean your going to start soon?" Chase nodded "I thought so, I knew it was going to happen soon"
"Yeah! I finally can see all of Reignta!" Chase said excitedly
"Well for now it's time for dinner" his mom said, Rolling her eyes at Chase's enthuseasm
"What about little Rush? Chase asked, looking at his hungry eevee
"His names Rush? well i'll give him something" Chase sat at the dinner table, His mom brought out some spaghetti and some salad for Rush, they beagn eating when Chases mom asked "You plan on starting tomorrow right?" All chase did was nod because his mouth was full of noodles and was getting sauce everywhere "You're such a sloppy eater!" Chase's mom said chuckling, "I hope you know how to cook, or you won't last long"
"I can cook...kinda..." Chase said quetly "Enough to survive...". Chase had finished his dinner and brought it to the kitchen, he saw Rush was done, but the cherry tomatos that were in the bowl were still uneaten, except for one which Rush was rolling around
"Don't play with you food Rush" Chase's mom said picking the bowl up. Rush looked a little upset but Chase picked him up and brought him upstairs to his room, Chase lied down on his bed and tried to figure out how his pokedex worked
"Um, how do I turn this on?" he asked himself, Rush started pacing about looking for something to do, Chase looked over at Rush, he went over to a drawer and pulled out a rubber ball and tossed it on the ground, Rush caught sight of the ball and instantly took to playing with it, As Rush did Chase began to mess around with his pokedex again, he pressed a few random buttons and it activated
"Please insert licence to register" it said, Chase then puled his Trainers licence and put it into a slot he saw "Registering...Regtration complete! Chase Hayner, 13 years old, recived licence one week ago," It beeped a few time and said "Please present pokemon data" Chase was a bit confused at this but aimed it at Rush "Data found, Eevee, the evolution pokemon, An eevee has unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to its enviroment. Radiation from various stones causes this pokemon to evolve" Chase smiled, he was learning how to use the device, two buttons lit up, one said extra information, the other said personal information, Chase pressed personal. "This eevee is of a hasty nature and is two inches taller than the basic height of a common eevee, scan show that legs are longer than normal, increasing stride and speed by 7" Rush didn't notice any of this because of the ball, but Chase then pressed extra information "Eevees are capable of evolving with the aid of a stone or other conditions, the eevee evolutions are Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, and Umbreon
"Five different forms..." Chase thought to himself "and i can only choose one, what if Rush doesn't like the form? I think I'll let him decide" he was about to call rush when he saw that he fell asleep, tired out from the ball, Chase chuckled a bit, it was only 7:30 but chase felt tired, probably because of the battle he and Riku had, he went down stairs to see what his mom was up to, when he came down she just got off the phone it looked like, Chase didn't ask who it was though.
"Mom, I'm going to get an early night tonight" Chase said
"Thats a good idea, your gonna have to get up early tomorrow, Goodnight Chase" His mom said
"G'night" Chase said back, he went and got in his PJs and went to bed, he spent a little while just lying there thinking about what was to come, and soon found he was drifting to sleep.
Chase woke up at the call of his clock, it was set earlier than normal, but because of the early night he was able to wake up "Don't have to listen to you anymore", he said to the clock and headed to the closet to get dressed, Chase was excited about today, he finished getting ready and went downstairs to see Rush was already eating breakfast. His mom had also had breakfast set out for him, "Thank you mom" he said to her as he sat down to eat, his mom came into the room holding a green single strap backpack.
"Your father wanted me to give you this when it was time" she said "It's a storage backpack that can hold three time as much space as it looks while still remaining light" Chase finished his food and went back upstairs to pack, he grabbed a single pair of clothes and went downstaris and packed a couple things of noodle packages, some pokesnacks, and some drinks,
"All set" he said to Rush, who was following him the whole time he than saw his mom waiting for him,
"Chase, this is it. you're finally starting on your pokemon journey, I wish you the best of luck. Mabe you can acomplish what neither me nor your dad could"
"You were a trainer mom?" Chase asked, this surprised Chase, she never said anything about that, Chase's mom nodded
"That's how your father and I met, we were both trainers aiming to be the Reignta champion, I never succeded and your father settled for being a gym leader"
"You never said anything about this mom"
"I know, but I want you to know that I'll be supporting you all the way" she said while hugging him
"I'll give it my all" Chase said "Goodbye mom, I'll be sure to call every once in a while"
"Wait, one last thing," She said while reaching in her pocket and pulling out money "Here, I was saving this for when you would start, it enough to get you through"
"Thanks mom" He then headed out the door, Rush at his side. his mom still waving, he headed down till he saw Riku with Dash
"well Riku...i guess this is it" He said
"Yeah...good luck out there buddy." he said back. As they were talking, a shadow flew overhead
"what was that?" Chase asked
"Huh?" Riku said confused, the shadow landed to reveal that it was a charizard, one that Chase recognised
"Dad!" Chase shouted to the figure riding the charizard
"Whoa...A-A Charizard..." Riku stammered in awe.
"Hey son" Chase's dad siad
"Hey dad!" Chase said, happy to see his dad
"A charizard..." Riku repeated sill mesmerised by the sight of the charizard
"mom told me last night, thought I'd see you off" Chase's dad said
"A Charizard..." Riku said again, when Dash tackled him
"Oww! What was that for?" He yelled at Dash, while standing up again
"Hello Riku...I take it you like Flash" He said, hearing what Riku was saying
"He's awesome!" Chase said in awe still Dash started to get a little jealous.
"Anyway...Chase,I got something for you" Chase's dad said pulling out a case with nine pokeballs "I know you already have an eevee, but i wanted to give you one of these, you're aware of the nine different starters right?"
"Hey! no fair! why does Chase get two!" Riku shouted, feeling ripped off
"Calm down Riku, one of them was for you too" he said
"A charmander?" Riku asked hopefully, this made Dash even more jealous
Chase's dad chuckled "if that's your choice" he said as he pulled out one of the pokeballs. Riku fainted
"uhh...Riku?" Chase said, he then went over and slapped Riku in the face lighty. Riku Stayed fainted. Dash growled with jealousy and bit Riku's hand as hard as possible
"Ouch!" he shouted, waking up
"Dash that was uncalled for, he'll raise you all the same..." Rush said
"Yeah right...he didn't do this when he got me..." Dash said angrily, with a hint of depression
"Well it's like you said, he's lacking in brain power, if he shows too much attention...remind him who his starter was" Rush said.Dash smiled
"You better not neglect Dash Riku, I think he gets Jealous pretty easy..." Chase said
"Oh, oops...sorry Dash..." He apologized and petted Dash.
"Anyway, here Riku" Chase's dad said Handing Riku a pokeball "Chase what do you want?"
"Gosh...not sure...I guess torchic" His dad nodded and handed him his pokeball. Chase smiled and released his new pokemon, Rush ran up to greet the new pokemon
"Hi torchic I'll be your trainer from now on" Chase said, Torchic looked up and smiled It gave a few happy calls to Chase and Rush
"hmm, you'll need a name too, I can see your a girl too...ok" Chase began to think of a good name for her, Torchic then let out a small ember attack to help him "Hmm...ember...Amber! that's a good one!" The newly named Amber started jumping, happy that she now had a name.
"So we're partners now" Rush said to Amber "My name is Rush!"
"Hi Rush! it's good to be part of the team!"
"Hey Dash want to see Charmander? Riku asked Considering Dash's feelings for once
"well he's going to be traveling with me, might as well see him" Dash thought to himself, He nodded and Charmander was released from his pokeball
"So your to be my new partner huh? not bad, listen I just wanted to let you know that your going to probably revieve special attention, if that happens and I bite out trainer, well...that's normal ok?"
"Um...ok" Charmander said
"Also you can call me Dash"
"As for a name...Slasher. How's that sound?" Riku asked his new Charmander. It agreed by nodding his head with a smile.
Chase's dad saw the two trainers were caught up in their new pokemon and he just cleared his throat and got their attention
"I also wanted to give you these" he said holding out two pokenavs
"Alright!" Chase said as he placed it onto the strap of his pack"
"And Riku I'm sorry your dad couldn't make it...he was busy today" Chase's dad said
"Oh...well that's ok." Riku said
"Anyway I gotta go, I'll go see your mom before heading back to the gym, bye son, and good luck"
"Thanks dad, perhaps we'll meet in battle in the future" Chase said, his dad then got on his charizard and flew off, the two trainers waving at him when a voice came from behind
"Riku!" Came the familiar voice Jasmine ran up from behind looking angry at Riku
"Thanks a lot Riku!" She yelled sarcastically
"Dang...oh well, there's a good side to this.." Riku said as a grin spread across his face
"I guess because I'm leaving..." Chase said and gave a deep sigh " Aw what the hell, come here!" Jasmine ran up to him excitedly and hugged him.
"What the?" Riku said sounding shocked
"I figure there was no avoiding it" Chase said
"Aww…it's not as funny when you're not hating it..." Riku said sounding disappointed
"Whatever, come on Riku let's walk till the path splits" Chase said
"Fine..." He mumbled
"Bye Chasy!" Jasmine called as they walked down the path
Chase sighed "Bye Jasmine" he called back
"Bye meanie!" She at shouted angrily at Riku
"See ya sis." He said, ignoring the remark They walked until the road split. They saw a sign that read "Stone path" and " Winovea City"
"I'll go left" Chase said, knowing how eevee evolve.
"Well, I'll be taking this path..." He said pointing at the path to the next town. "See ya Chase." He said holding out a hand, Chase then slapped him a five
"this is it buddy...we're rivals now" Chase said
"Yeah, you better train hard if you want to beat me!" Riku said competitively with a grin
"May our paths meet again" Chase said as they walked down the road. Chase then looked back and now considered Riku his rival yet friend "Let's go you two" he said to Rush and Amber. He then began his journey to be the Reignta champion.
