"What happened?" I said waking up from a rather pleasant nap. "How long have I been sleeping." I said while standing up. Just then my Slakoth was sent flying knocking me back on to the ground again knocking all of the contents my backpack held.
"Slak!" my Slakoth said to me eyes wide with panic.
"What's wrong." I said, standing up again while trying to detach my frightened Slakoth off of me. Then I saw what sent my Slakoth flying. A small almost dog like Pokemon getting ready to charge at us. "This is what tackled my Slakoth, a puppy." I said out loud to know one in particular. Still laughing and now practically rolling on the ground the Lillipup looked agitated.
The pup then began staring at me and gave me a look. Then I began to become a bit frightened myself I could now see why my Slakoth was scared.
"Yes!" I shouted filled with joy and excitement. "This is our chance our first battle together lets do it Slakoth!"
"Slakoth!" my starter said to me eyes as determined as mine. "Okay then use..." WAIT I didn't know what moves my Slakoth knew. I figured to go with tackle since that's a move most low leveled pokemon knew (plus I had just seen the Lillipup use it). "Slakoth use tackle." I said proud of myself for shouting out my first command.
"Slak?" my starter said to me with a puzzled look on it's face,scratching it's head.
He must have not known that move! While my Slakoth looked at me waiting for it's orders the Lillipup then tackled him again, hurting him even more. I had to think fast, I had to give my Slakoth a command but what? What was that move he used on me before? Thinking of all the moves that could put a pokemon to sleep, I then remembered what move it was. Yawn! That was the move yawn.
"Slakoth use yawn." my Pokemon nodded in agreement and exhaled a cloud of fluff at the target. The Lilipup then inhaled it. It looked confused for a moment then sneezed. It didnt look tired at all! Then the Lillipup tackled my Pokemon again for the third time in a row!
I'm terrible i thought while shaking my head. My Slakoth was being beaten repeatedly by a pup of all Pokemon! I was ready to just return my Pokemon back to it's pokeball and take the beating my Slakoth was enduring myself. But then i chuckled. This is no time to doubt myself this is the beginning of my legacy it was way too early to punk out now.
I have to be confident, I have to great, I will win my first battle. "Slakoth" I shouted earning curious glances from the surrounding Pokemon. "Lets finish this" I yelled at my Pokemon with all my heart. Then in response to this my Pokemon's claws begin to glow white.
He then slashed at the Lillipup with enough might to snap a branch in two(even though it only manages to cut a bit of fur from it's head I was a little Disappointed). It fainted on the spot. "Wow only one shot that must've been a critical hit" I said happily to my Slakoth with pride.
"Slakoth!" my Slakoth said full of proudness as well. While gathering my stuff from the ground and my Slakoth looking for other wild pokemon to battle i found my watch and was shocked by what time it was. It was 2:30, I was late! I hurreidly picked up the rest of my stuff and began to run through the tall grass. "Come on Slakoth, we're late." my slakoth then stopped staring at the fainted Lillipup and came to my side.
Wait I thought to myself. I'm forgetting something...
Lillipup! Yes, the Lillipup this is the perfect time to catch it. My first catch ever, now would be the perfect time to catch it. Ill have to come back and catch it later im already late as it is. "Slakoth use yawn attack" I commanded my Pokemon. My Pokemon then exhaled another cloud of exhaust at the Lillipup. "I hope it stays asleep this time" I said prayingly to myself.
"Ok now lets move" I yelled at my Slakoth.
"Slak" he nodded his head in agreement. I then ran ahead staring at my watch again 2:36 I could still make it. I looked behind me to see my Slakoth moving and then pausing momentarily.
"Come on, hurry up" I yelled behind me still running as fast as I could. My Slakoth then began to speed up but still kept stopping on occasion. Must be tired I thought. I would be to if I kept getting tired repeatedly. I then turned around and returned my Pokemon back into it's pokeball. And I kept running to Accumala town trying my best to avoid the Pokemon in the tall grass.
I finally reached my destination and saw a tall blonde man with a mustache locking the building, probably the janitor. "Wait!" "I'm here to apply for my trainer license." I said out of breathe.
"Sorry kid registration is closed." He said while fumbling between keys. Now ill never be able to trainer, or at least not this year my journey ended before it ever began. "But don't worry kid you can still get your trainer license" he said.
I closed my eyes sighed with relieve and said "how?"
"Just go to the next town over and go to the trainers school they take applicants who've lost their trainer licenses over there" he said smiling
"But I didn't lost my trainer license." I said.
"We know that but they don't." he said with a wink.
"Thank you mister janitor sir." I said while heading out of Accumala town.
"You very welcome kid and
I'm not a janitor" he said with a frown(Now that's someone who shouldn't of had dropped high school). Now I had to go to Straiton and file a "missing" trainers report then ill probably challenge the the Straiton gym leader, and then most importantly I had to rub the fact that I'm now a Pokemon to all my classmates including Olivia.
But first things first, I had to handle some business on route1. I had a Lilipup to catch. I decided that I should go to the Pokemon center/mart. I walked into the Pokemon center and it was huge! It was twice as big as my aunt's house (and let's just say my aunt wasn't poor). I was walking in the Pokemon center for what felt like days until Nurse Joy finally called me over when looking at my confusion.
"Over here" Nurse Joy said while waving me in.
"Sorry, I had gotten lost, it's just so big in here" I said in awe, still amazed how large it was.
"It's okay most new Pokemon trainers become lost there first time here." she said with a smile "now how can I help you?".
"I need my pokemon healed." I said still thinking about the fainted Lilipup I had on route1 I hoped it was still there. "And im kinda in a rush"
"Ok then just hand me your pokemon." she said holding out her hand so that I could give her my pokemon. I gave it to her while still looking around the store.
"Where is the trainers store?" I asked wanting to buy some merchandise. I needed to buy some more pokeballs five wasn't going to cut it.
"That way." she told me pointing me over to the entrance, where I came in. I had already passed it twice. While walking to the pokemart(and pushing through crowds of people) I over heard some trainers speaking.
"It was just laying there?" a young boy said who I assumed to be a new trainer. While he and another young trainer entered the store.
"Yeah unconscious and everything, an easy catch" A girl said smile beaming. "I only had to throw a pokeball at it, it hardly had to ping at all.
"What!" I yelled staring at the girl eyes gleaming. "What Pokemon was it."
"A Lillipup of course" "what other Pokemon could you catch on route1." she said matter-a-factly almost snobbishly. "I had found it unconscious on the road and I caught it." maybe this wasn't my Liliipup. Maybe it was just a coincidence. No, I knew better than that there was no such things as coincidences.
"Was it sleeping?" I asked trying to convince myself it wasn't mine.
"No, but it had some fur cut off it's head" "It looked so cute" "I had to catch it" she said more happily then I felt. She then released a pokeball revealing a freshly cut Lillipup(admittedly it's hair did look kind of cool).
"I named her cutiepie since she's so cute!" she said while hugging her so called "cutiepie".
"It's yours?" the boy asked curiously. No technically it wasn't mine. It was caught in her pokeball, she heard the ding not me.
"If it's yours" she said pausing momentarily looking down at her Lillipup. "I guess you should..." Just then Professor Juniper rushed through the door looking around frantically.
"H-Help" she said gasping for air. "My lab is under attack!"
