POKEMON EMERALD : PORTAL TO ADVENTURE
Chapter 4
A/N: Hello there! You've stuck with me till chapter 4! Thank you! So, a bit of news. Yes, this is more based off the game, but with anime length walking distances, so there will be Poochyenas with Prof. Birch.(Looking at you, Ydream08. You just gotta wait a bit.) So anyway, here's the story!
May was shocked.
Brandon was playing with a Mudkip. And he didn't seem to be pretending to like it either.
"Brandon! You're actually hanging around a Pokemon without freaking out!" She happily ran over and hugged him, saying "I'm proud of you!"
"Uhh... I still don't remember you... so.. why are you proud of me?"
"Oh.. yeah.. I forgot for a second..", she looked down sadly, but continued "basically, when we were younger, you got attacked by a Wingull for throwing rocks at it. You were scared to death of Pokemon for quite awhile. So you just sorta avoided them."
Brandon looked at the Mudkip. He really liked this Mudkip. "Why was I even throwing rocks at it in the first place?"
"Oh.. well.. you see, you were trying to blow off some steam, because-" But she was soon interrupted by Professor Birch as he ran over to them saying "I've got something kids!"
"Well, what is it?" Brandon asked.
"Well, before I tell you, May, do you have the item?" She wiggled it in the air, before returning it into her fanny pack.
"Great, you're going to need it. Ok, so, sadly, as much as I like, I can't bring his memories back. But! I think, we can send you back to your world."
With this, Brandon looked up and said "Really?! How?! Please, tell us!" Birch chuckled, and handed them a book. 'Legends of Hoenn' it read on its side.
"Flip to the bookmark and read what I've highlighted. It'll explain it better."
They flipped open the book to the bookmarked page, and began to read.
"Some say there are different dimensions. There is rumored to be a place, where, if true feelings are present, and something meaningful is presented, a portal to the world of the users choice is opened. This place is rumored to be somewhere near Lavaridge town. This has not been confirmed however."
They finished reading and looked up at the Professor. He was smiling and handed them each a Pokeball. They looked at him with questioning stares.
Seeming to understand their confusion, he said "Your going to need Pokemon if your going to head all the way to Lavaridge town."
"What?!" They both shouted in confusion. Brandon spoke again first.
"What are you saying? Your giving us Pokemon to go there?" He nodded. "But why?"
"Well, if what you say is true, you need to get back to your world. People would miss you. And I just assumed May would want to come with as well. Not to your world, but to accompany you."
She nodded. "Well, then its settled. You both will head out to Lavaridge town." They thanked him and headed out.
"Tell your moms. Oh! And call me if you make it there!"
They both waved and kept walking.
"So.. what Pokemon did Birch give us?" Brandon shrugged. "Only one way to find out!" And tossed the ball right into the air. A red light shined onto the floor in a unformed shape, before forming into a Mudkip.
"Sweet! A Mudkip!" Brandon reached down to pat Mudkip, before looking at May and asking "What'd you get?"
In response she threw her Pokeball into the air and it opened in a red glow. A Torchic appeared. She leaned down and picked it up, to have it yell out a happy "Torchic!" She laughed. Brandon returned his Mudkip, and may did the same to her Torchic.
"So... Your ok with coming on this journey?" asked Brandon.
"Sure. I've always wanted to explore more of the world then just here and Oldale town. So it'll be fun." She smiled.
He smiled back, but it turned into a frown. "Well.. you'll have to walk back by yourself.. and.. I don't even know if Mudkip could come into my world.. plus, what even happened to your Brandon?"
She looked at him "Well, honestly, your just like him, so, its like he.. i mean you, never left. and if your sad about me walking back, then well have to make the best of the journey then, huh? Like they always say, "Its not the destination, its the journey'"
"Yeah.. well.. this is the split," Glancing at the signs, she saw they were headed diffrent ways, "See you tommorow then?"
They both turned towards each other, and awkwardly said goodbye. They agreed to meet each other tomorrow by the exit of the town. May suddenly hugged him and ran off. Brandon stood, a bit red, then turned and ran towards his house.
"What was that? Why'd I get so embarrassed?"
Brandon walked into his house. He had no idea what he was going to say to his mom. Was she really his mom? She seemed to act, well, exactly as she did in his world, so he just decided to accept her. He entered his room, trying to think of how he'd be able to leave. But it turns out, he didn't have to. Birch had apparently called his mom and told her that you were running an "errand" for him. So she had everything folded and ready to go on his bed.
"Thanks mom" he said as she handed him a small case of Pokemon treats and a map.
"You're welcome. I hope you have fun on your trip. Oh! That reminds me." She went out of the room for a moment and handed him a small cloth bag.
He took it and looked at it quizzically.
"Whats this?" He questioned.
"Well, open it up, and you'll see."
He undid the small string, and reached inside. He felt something small and triangular. He grasped it, and pulled it out.
A/N: What could this object be? Whats its meaning? Find out next time! Sorry this one was short. Chapter 5 is taking awhile, and I wanted to get this out before I forgot. Please, follow and review if you liked it! -PKMM Trainer FinnPines
