VulpixTrainer: well I'm here again to give you my next chapter of The Journey of Matt. Anyway thank you for reviewing

Negrek and I will try to have it less dialog heavy and more with describing area. Also I have changed the title with the spelling error.

So now on with chapter 3

Matt: VulpixTrainer does not own Pokemon they belong to Nintendo and Game Freaks Inc.

The start of the journey part two

After watching the trio of crooks blast off into the blue sky matt and his dad went on to the caves. But halfway to the caves matt heard the sound of a pokeball releasing its pokemon and then the two vulpix appeared just making matt to face fault. Quickly recovering he sighed in complete Irritation.

"Dad there out again." Matt said in a voice like it was something that was getting old fast

"Then let them stay out seeing that this has been the sixth time in the past hour." His father replied in a chuckle "it seems that they like the outdoors more then one of those pokeballs." There conversation ended as they approved a rock cliff with a slim 6ft tall and 3ft wide entrance, there was stuck to a wooden sign though a piece of paper addressed to matt.

"Dear matt sorry we missed you we are heading back to the station so we won't be able to look this place over with you but have fun

Mom

After reading the note he just sighed again "Dad it seems that I'm late as always."

"Don't you worry why don't we head back and see what they are doing. Okay?"

At this matt perks up replying "yes lets do that and try and find out what I need to do the rectify this two problems," this he said with a gesture at the two Vulpix that had popped out of their pokeballs and had started following him again, like they had done for the past six times before now.

Back at the Ranger Station Matt's Mom and Ethan were putting up the last minute items for the surprise celebration that they had been planning since last month that his doctor gave the green light that he could go on his Pokemon Journey at age 16. But there was one glitch, the break-in at professor wood's laboratory. But that was not going to deter them from giving this party with some great people. They had just put up the banner saying "GOOD LUCK" in bold black letters with a red background when the front door opened and entered first the dad then matt quickly followed by two vulpix.

Every one then yelled "SURPRISE" from where they were standing matt saw the banner and then the long dinner table with chips and dip, some doughnuts, and other food found at a party including in the middle a vanilla flavored cake with white icing and red letter saying "Happy Journey's Matt" with a picture of the indigo league symbol underneath the saying. This was a total surprise to Matt; he wasn't expecting such a send off when he started dreaming of going through the Gym Challenge.

Matt then came up to the head ranger who at this moment was telling some of his comrades about some big pokemon stories (A/N for the clueless it's like a big fish story)

"That my friend is the truth I saw..." at this he trailed off seeing matt was standing on the edge of twelve rangers waiting patiently for him to finish. "What is it Matt is there something I can do for you?"

"Yes but first I got one of the craziest stories to tell you." With this Matt launches into his tell of what happened with the two Vulpix.

Back at the old Aerodactyl Gas Station which used to service cars until a newer station was built. The trio of Rocket grunts was once again calling Giovanni on the still amazingly operating video phones.

"Boss we need some back up, this kid is surrounded by stronger trainers we can't get a good job in." violet said in her very rich southern voice

"Violet there is no need to continue using our resources on a project that I just now learned isn't feasible at this time. I am recalling you back to Viridian City until further notice, and no complaining you can go after the Vulpix after you cool down."

"Yes sir, I won't go after that monster that destroyed my beautiful hair." She said in a controlled voice. After Giovanni hung up and sent their screen to black.

"Well it looks like we don't get to go after that fire type, but I'm happy, I don't have to go flying for a third time." Garth replied in his also thick southern accent

"Well you two stop you yapping we got a place to be." Frank yelled as he started to fly up through the hole that they made from falling from their blast off.

Now back at the party for Matt's start of his journey he had just finished off telling the Rangers what had happened and also asked what he should do?

"Well Matt." At this the same vulpix jerked his head in the direction of the speaker, so did the human Matt. "That is the most original capture story I've ever heard, in fact if you didn't show that hole in you pack I would have taken it as a tale to cover up you catching a pokemon here. But I have known you since you where nine years old so I trust you, in fact I think the park can let go two Vulpix for you to train. But on this one condition you come back every year so we can know how there doing and so forth. But now lets party." This was met with a load roar of "Here, Here" and so the party got going like any pokemon farewell party would. It had the mom fussing over all of the little details of her son's pack, making sure he promised to call whenever he go into a city and also to wear clean underwear. The dad was giving last minute advice on what routes to take and also the best way to camp leaving little to no trace. When suddenly the door banged open and a man in a white lab coat burst through the door.

"Matt I got here as soon as I could." The man stopped so he could catch his breath "I got the pokemon back that was stolen from me, you can start today."

"Professor Wood!" Matt said with great surprise "you got me what?"

"I got you the pokemon so you could choose which one to take," The professor said in an excited voice.

"Thank you, but you see I got two Vulpix following me, which I need to tell you was there idea. They tackled me then ripped open my bag, and then got themselves caught in the pokeballs you gave me and now I have four more spaces to fill." All this he said with a tone that suggested that he was not too well pleased about this "and on top of it all I have had Team Rocket try two times to capture one. But they failed because of a Ninetales intervention and also my dad stepping in." with this final statement Matt just sat down in a chair and waited for the professor's response. Professor Wood thought for a few minutes and then said very slowly and in light humor

"I guess I'm too late up here, but looks like you did something to cause such a strong bond right Matt." This caused for the hundredth time the Vulpix named Matt to look over to where the name was called but only the human Matt noticed it. "Uh professor has there ever been a case where a pokemon has responded to a human name?" "No not to my knowledge but it could be theorized that pokemon might every once in a while have a human name, but that would say that they have words similar to ours. But so far we have been unable to fully unlock any pokemon language. Why do you ask?"

"Well ever since I had saved this fellow here every time someone says my name he also perks up."

"Hmmm, that is interesting but I must say that it is very unlikely that he has adopted your name, like I said before there are many mysteries surrounding the world of pokemon." At this the professor gets down and starts examining the two Vulpix up close

Matt sweat-drops "Is there a problem Professor? Is there something wrong with them?"

"No, no, there is nothing wrong with them it's just that I usually give all starter pokemon a check-up before they go off into the world." A few more minutes pass as he measures and examine them before he gets up and turns to talk to Matt. "They all are healthy and strong, I would say around level eight or nine, but that isn't the main point. The male is in fact a few inches shorter then a normal Vulpix. This means that he was the runt of the liter I'm just surprised that he has made it this far in his life. The female is on the other hand a healthy and big as they should be at this stage in life, now if you plan on breeding then I advise that you should evolve them using a firestone around level sixty.."

"NO. I won't use any firestones to evolve them. This is going to be my change to show the world that Vulpix can evolve naturally without the aid of a firestone." Matt interrupts right away.

The Professor just nodes then replies "Yes, I forgot your idea I must say most trainers evolve them before a league challenge, but those last one year so I haven't heard much on letting pokemon research on this area we are quite swamped with a lot of new pokemon that are in other areas. I wish you good luck." He then sees the clock and rushes out saying something about meeting someone else in pallet.

Three hours had past and the sun was beginning to set as Matt was adjusting his uniform that he would wear for this league's challenge. He was wearing the League hat that his dad had given him to make up for not able to go when he was 10 because of a heart surgery but now he was wearing it with pride. He also had on a pokemon trainer shirt Pikachu yellow; with a blue sleeveless vest which he stored his pokedex in his left pocket, this being his dominate hand. He also was wearing a gift from his grandfather, his first pokemon belt that he wore all the way to the indigo Plateau. And then those every needed pokemon blue jeans and the "New Trainer 390" style shoe, which showed wear and tear and also the ever present Poke Trainer Backpack. This was watched with mild amusement by the two vulpix as he readied himself for the up and coming year of the gym Challenge. After a few more minutes he nodded to himself in the mirror he was looking into and turned around to face the two Pokemon "Well I'm ready and looks like you are too, so let's hit the road." With that he slung his pack onto his back and headed out the door into his first adventure of his life.

VulpixTrainer: this is really good and now my muses have some to say

Matt: I won't to say that finally you get us going I thought I would be in the forest another chapter with no end in sight.

Firestorm: Now be nice at least he hasn't had team rocket come by

Charizard: Please review this story so the human may know how this story is doing.

VulpixTrainer: that wasn't very nice, anyway I shall continue this until I get bored and when I have an idea I don't get bored.
