POKEMON EMERALD: PORTAL TO ADVENTURE

Chapter 2

A/N: Hey again! Hope you like my story so far. But don't worry, this story's just getting started. But first things first. Updates. I have no idea of my update schedule. My internet is sporadic. So I hope, at the very, very least, one chapter per week. But I plan on releasing more chapters this week. At least, oh, about 4. And a quick shout out to Cloneblazer12 for giving me a tip on dialogue! Anyway, thanks for sticking around for chapter 2! On to the story!

"What... happened..." Brandon muttered.

He rubbed his eyes, trying to make sense of the world around him.

"This has to be a dream, right?"

He tried to pinch himself, excepting the comfort of his bed instantly. instead, he felt pain.

"Ow! Ok so.. Not a dream.. Or maybe that's what my dream wants me to think.. Or.. Oh... Ugh.." He plopped onto the ground outside his door.

"So.. if this is the world of Pokémon.. in the Hoenn region.. that means.. Pokémon are real here! And the gyms! And everything else too! I need to check this out!" He quickly leaped up and started sprinting to the nearest signpost. He examined at it and quickly read through the directions.

"Ok..so.. route 101 that way," He said, glancing to the left, "and Professor Birch's lab is that way. well, if I know anything about the world of Pokémon, I need a Starter!"

As he headed down the path, he started to gaze around him. He saw Wingulls flying overhead, and he could faintly hear the sounds of Poochyenas playing far away. He saw a Zigzagoon dart into someone's window. Suddenly, he heard the sounds of footsteps behind him. before he could turn around, he was tackled from behind in a bear hug.

"Hey Brandon! Where you headed?"

He had no idea who the person laying on top of him was, but he heard a female voice, so it must be a girl. She climbed off him and he rolled around.

Standing above him, was a girl in a red jacket, and red bandana. She had a small yellow fanny pack on and hair that looked like an upside down V. But Brandon didn't care about that at the moment. He only wanted to know who she was.

"Hey, what's the big idea?!" He shouted, standing up.

She laughed and said "Bet you weren't expecting that!"

"Why the heck did you tackle me?!"

The stranger looked confused, "Wait, what? Brandon, why are you getting so angry?"

"Well, first off, I'd except anyone to be angry if random strangers attacked them, and two, how do you know my name?!"

The girls eyes suddenly light up and she smirked, "Oh, very funny Brandon. Make fun of May by making her think you don't know her. Ha. You're hilarious"

The name didn't even register a single thought in his mind. "I seriously have no idea who you are. I'm not joking around."

She rolled her eyes, "Great acting. Here, let me jog your memory. Remember when we were little, and we hung out next to the pond? We would always toss rocks and have contests to see who could get the biggest splash?"

He slowly shook his head.

She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Really? That's believable."

"I have no memories of you whatsoever. I don't even remember anyone but my mom."

She narrowed her eyes "Seriously Brandon, knock it off."

"I'm not messing around. I. Don't. Know you."

She blew her hair out of her face, an angry looking staying firmly planted on her face. "You know what, fine. Let's go see The Professor and see what he can do about you little 'Memory problem'" uncrossing her arms to make quotation marks in the air. She grabbed Brandon's wrist and started to drag him towards the professor's lab
