Episode 2: A New Era Part 2
"Krubble use protect!" Z yelled to his new starter just before a flamethrower hit. The Pokemon in question was two feet tall and blue with two light brown spots on ts front chest. It had blue crab claws resembling Corphish's with a clear half bubble on top of each and it stood on two legs. They were battling a fierce looking Houndoom that was standing its ground against Z's water Pokemon. The cave they were in was pretty large with many torches lining the wall to easily give light.
"Krubble let's go with Bubble." Z Commanded. The bubbles on Krubble's claws glowed as they began firing large bubbles from them. The Houndoom dodged and began to charge as it opened it's mouth, preparing a thunder fang. "I don't think so, Krubble use Vice Grip and shut its mouth." Just as the Houndoom attacked Krubble closed its mouth shut with its claws.
"Nice doggy." Z mocked. Houndoom growled and tried slinging Krubble off of it but to no avail as Krubble held on tightly. "How bout showing me how strong buddy by giving dog breath a toss." Z called to his partner. Krubble nodded in agreement and as soon as it was able to touch the ground it picked up the larger Pokemon and slung it across the cave and into the wall. Krubble then used bubble to finish it before Z could give the command. Z smiled and looked at Krubble as it looked at him and smirked.
"Well don't you have a little initiative in you." Z told his partner. "How'd you know I was about to call for a bubble?" Krubble simply rubbed its chest arrogantly.
'Krubble Krub.' It said Cockily.
"I think me and you are going to get along very well pal." Z said as he crouched down to Krubble. Z held his fist out which Krubble responded by tilting its held as it didn't know what the notion meant. "Come on," Z chuckled. "It's called a fist bump, well in our case it's a fist and claw bump but yea. It's what we humans do as a sign of respect and appreciation." Krubble nodded and they proceeded to bumped fist to claw and Z decided to also give Krubble dap by lightly taping the top and bottom of Krubble's claw and rubbing his thumb under his nose. This also confused Krubble which Z caught notice of.
"From now on that's gonna be our thing OK." Z informed Krubble who responding by nodding its head.
"From this day forward me and you are going to work to be the best and defeat any and everyone that stands in our way no matter what you got that?" Z said to Krubble
'Krubble!' Krubble called its name in excitement as it jumped into the air.
"Alright let's finish our mission so me and you can start our journey to success." Z held his fist and they dapped each other up and when Z rubbed his thumb across his nose Krubble mimicked and did the the same(though Krubbles don't have noses).

"You cant just keep running off like that in your condition young man." Officer Jenny told the 15 year old that had climbed out of the window about an hour ago. He didn't speak back or reply to her in anyway. He just stood there at the hospital desk with an agitated face. He had a long messy ponytail to his mid-back and ocean blue eyes. He wore a tan t shirt that looked a little to big for him with baggy black pants with no shoes or socks. His clothes were tattered and ripped but oddly enough it seemed to compliment his three fanged necklace around his neck. He also had bandages wrapped around his arms, body and on on his face. He still looked pretty bruised.
"Oh thank goodness Jenny I had got so worried for him." Nurse Joy said as she came in the lobby and saw the boy. "Honey are you alright?" The boy looked at Joy from the corner of his eye as he turned his head from her.
"Stubborn one isn't he?" Jenny asked which Joy nodded.
"He hasn't told spoke or told me anything since he awoke two days Jenny." Joy told her friend as Joel walked the boy back to his room.
"Not even his name?" Jenny asked which caused Joy to shake her head no.
"Nothing. He just sits there and stare at the wall all day." She said in a worried expression and tone. "He doesn't even attempt to eat the food I give him. I'm worried that he may began getting some sort of depression but I cant help him if he won't even tell me who put him in such a bad shape in the first place."
Joel and the boy walked down the hall and up a few flight of stairs towards his hospital room quietly. Joel looked over to the boy who walked with his head down. He looked so sad and Joel just couldn't figure out why. He wasn't really the type to dwell in awkward silences so he decided to make small talk.
"So what's this, the 17th time in three days huh?" Joel said with a smile. The boy just kept walking and looking down. "Must be trying to set a new world record or something?" He joked but still got no reply. "Oh OK I get it." Joel began. "You're the rebellious type. The tough guy kind that doesn't talk to authorities or adults." The boy still ignored him. Joel sighed. "Look if this is about how I treated you when we first met and I brought you back here then I'm sorry OK." Joel apologized. "I was out of line and way to rough with you and shouldn't have treated you like a criminal." It was then that the boy stopped which caused Joel to look up. It was his room.
Joel opened it and they went inside. Joel sat in the chair next to the kids bed. The boy got in his bed and just stared at the wall in silence. This made Joel uneasy again and he began rubbing the back of his neck as he looked around. He spotted the remote and grabbed it.
"How bout some TV then?" Joel said as he turned it on to the Pokè News and turned up the volume. It showed some of Harrell City Police Departments most wanted list. It showed a good amount of people that were reported as dangerous and in hiding. Then the Pokemon most wanted listed popped up and the Riolu that Joel had been chasing appeared on the screen as one of the newest problems. As Joel watched he noticed how the boy paid special attention to the Riolu and a trainer that wore a red bandanna on his head. The boy glared in distaste at there pictures.
"Friends of yours?" Joel question. The boy turned to look at Joel but Joel remained focused on the TV. "I've been aiming to take that Riolu down for a while now you know." Joel noticed that his comment seemed to have interested the boy.
'I wonder...' Joel thought. He decided that it was time for him to take his leave.
"If only I knew someone that knew had info on it I'd be that much closer to catching him." Joel said as he stood up and put on his hat. "Ahh well," He said as he walked towards the door. He stood and turned to speak to the boy before leaving though. "See ya round kid." Joel Walked towards Jenny and Joy who were still having a conversation about the boy.
"Hey sis," Joel said grabbing Jenny's attention. "I think I'm gonna call it quits early today.
"You sure?" Jenny asked. This was strange for her younger brother. Clocking out on time for him was usually after a few hours of overtime. He's never clocked out on time before which he considered to be early. Something was up. "Are you OK brother?"
"I'm feeling a little under the weather." Joel said. "Massive headache, I think I just need a little sleep." Jenny still didn't trust it but shrugged it off.
"OK Joel, just be safe and don't get into any trouble on your way home." She said.
"I will." He assured her as he walked out the door. He left the hospital and turned around the corner and stopped as someone stood in front of him, panting heavily. Joel smiled as they made eye contact. "Well aren't you fast Kiddo." Joel laughed as he walked towards the young boy who had once again escaped from his room.

"Hmm, I wonder where the place is." Tou said as he walked into the clearing and searched the wall. "This is more difficult then I thought." Little did he know he was on the complete opposite side of the cliff and that was why he couldn't find it. "Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot." Then he smiled.
"Nah I got a great sense of direction, there's no way I'm wrong." Tou laughed not knowing how wrong he was. Then his stomach began grumbling. "Oh course that's why I cant figure it out... I'm hungry." Tou went back into the forest to look for fruit. He instantly found an apple tree sitting high in the sky. He sweat dropped as he laughed uneasily.
"On second thought, I'm not that hungry." His stomach growled loudly. He sighed as he dropped his head. "Do I have to?" His stomach responded by growling again. "Why me?" He said as he walked towards the tree. He stopped and looked up the tree.
5 Minutes later...
Tou finally reached a branch with an apple on it. He looked down to the ground and saw how high he was. About a good hundred feet from the ground. He shimmied towards the apples and grabbed the first one he could and bit into it. His eyes immediately turned to bright shiny stars as his mouth was filed with joy.
"This is the best apple I've ever eaten in my life!" Tou exclaimed before grabbing every apple on the branch he could and devouring them instantly. As he ate he noticed an awkward cracking noise. He stopped eating and looked to see the branch was about to break at the base. "That's not suppose to happen." He said calmly. The tree branch snapped and began falling but oddly enough he didn't panic. He simply junk to another branch from a nearby tree. Unluckily for him though his impact with also made it break.
"Why me?" He groaned as he pulled his self atop the branch and jumped to another like an Aipom until he crashed into a passing Pokemon and they both fell to the ground. Tou looked up to see it was a now very pissed Scizor standing before him.
"Well aren't you tough looking." Tou told the Pokemon obviously ignorant to how angry the Pokemon was with him. Scizor held up its arm and a beam began forming in its pincers. "Is that flash cannon?" Tou said while looking into to beam intriguingly. "That's such an awesome move!" Tou said in excitement. "Where'd you learn a move like that?" The Scizor then fired its attack causing many bird Pokemon to flew away.

"Skelick use shadow ball!" A 15 year old trainer out as his ghost Pokemon fired a black orb at a thunderbolt. Skelick was a small black and white Pokèmon with a black body and a skull like tattoo over the entirety of its chest. Its teeth, toes, fingers, and eyes were a bright shade of yellow. It always keep a big grin on its face. It's trainer wore a black beanie and a black t shirt. He also wore dark blue jeans and running shoes. The attacks collided and an explosion occurred. He had light brown eyes and was dark-skinned with a low hair cut with black hair.
"Pikachu use iron tail." Another 15 year old trainer commanded. The trainer wore a blue, black, and white hoodie designed like a Pokéball. His black and blue hat was turned backwards and he wore blue jeans with matching running shoes. He seemed to have a serious tan, probably from all his years as a trainer so far. His big auburn eyes went well with his messy raven black hair. He wore black, blue, and white finger-less gloves to match.
The iron tail collided with Skelick who blocked. The iron tail threw Skelick off his block and off balance and Pikachu hit him with another, sending him up in the air.
"Now Pikachu let's finish this with thunderbolt." The trainer commanded his partner.
"Use shadow ball again." The other trainer commanded. Skelick fired the shadow ball right before the thunderbolt hit and the explosion clouded around Skelick. Both trainers looked in anticipation waiting to see if Skelick had been knocked out or not. Skelic's trainer smiled and almost instantly Skelick appeared in front of a surprised Pikachu.
"Shadow punch." He said coolly. Skelick cocked his arm back and swung as hard as he could, sending Pikachu into the nearby river. "That's game." The trainer said as he crossed his arms confidently.
"I don't think so." Pikachu's trainer responded.
"What." Skelick's trainer said in awe as he saw a struggling Pikachu getting up to get back into the fight. "Hey Skelick." The trainer called causing his partner to look back. "It's time we finish this." His partner nodded in agreement and began running towards Pikachu as he already knew what he was about to call. "Flare blitz!" Skelick's body became engulfed in flames as he charged towards Pikachu.
"Two can play that game right buddy?" Pikachu's trainer asked his friend who replied by charging its cheeks in anticipation. "Volt tackle!" Pikachu got on all fours and bean rushing towards Skelick as electricity charged all around him. The two Pokèmon collided and a huge cloud of smoke and dust was created from the explosion. The kickback and power of the wind almost knocked the two trainers off there feet as they braced themselves. Both Pokèmon flew backwards high into the air causing the two trainers to hurry to catch their Pokèmon.
"Pikachu!"
"Skelick!"
Both trainers screamed their Pokemon's name as they rushed to catch them. They both succeeded but when they checked their Pokèmon who were both unconscious. Both trainers got up and walked towards each other and smiled.
"You aren't that bad guy." Skelick's trainer said to the other trainer.
"Neither are you." The other replied. It was then that he realized how caught up he had gotten in the battle and hadn't got his opponents name. "Sorry but I forgot to ask what your name was." He said.
"That's because only the worthy are allowed to know." The trainer replied replied arrogantly. This comment made Pikachu's trainer frown slightly.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Skelick's trainer noticed his facial expression and smiled before replying and holding out his free hand.
"It means you've earned it that's what." He replied enthusiastically. "I'm Que. Que Atkins." The other trainer smiled and grabbed his hand.
"And I'm Ash. Ash Ketchum."
To Be Continued...
Me: And there we are hope you enjoyed. Be sure to review and give a little constructive criticism if you have the time or feel like it. I'm also taking suggestions for episodes like if you all want to have an episode focusing on a particular subject, person, and or Pokèmon. Also for those who wanna help with an Oc or two the form is below.
Episode 3: Starters Are A Trainers Best-friend
OC Form:
Name: (Pretty Obvious)
Age:( If your giving a trainer they have to be 13 or older to start a journey in the Pimento Region. It's sort of a strict rule there. Other than that pick whatever age you want.)
Appearance:(Clothes and stuff. Scars, beauty marks, etc. something that makes them stand out maybe.)
Personality:( how thy act towards others, their Pokèmon, yea yea I'm pretty sure you get the gist of it.)
History:(Optional but suggested for older characters. Any past accomplishments or trophies they've won. Do they know any of the characters somehow or what. Possibilities are endless XD.)
Role:(Bad guy/girl. Maybe they work for Team Dimension(the equivalent of Rocket, Plasma, and such) Travel companions to one of the main characters which are Que, Tou, Ash, Z and the mystery kid. Or reoccurring character or something. Or something I haven't named. Your choice.)
What are they: Trainer, Breeder, Coordinator, Stylist, Chef, detective, Professor Caesar's assistant... Doesn't matter.)
Current Pokèmon:(I repeat CURRENT... please don't send me a beginning trainer or whatever with a full team unless they have a real reason cause that's really not logical. They can't have a starter because they're already taken but they can start with something else. I advised you to pm me what Pokèmon you want them to obtain and catch throughout(Even evolution) the season that way it seems more realistic. I promise I won't add any Pokèmon to your team without person unless you say I can.)
Opinion of character: (How do they or how will they feel/act towards the main Five characters upon meeting them. Said characters are once again Ash, Tou, Z, Que, and Mystery boy. Mandatory unless you want me myself to handle this area then it's optional.)
Other:(Anything I missed? Maybe something weird, or something they're good at or an addiction... idk)
Examples:
Name: Que Atkins
Age: 15
Appearance: Black beanie and a black t shirt. He also wore dark blue jeans and running shoes. Light brown eyes. Dark-skinned with a low hair cut. Black hair.
Personality: If cocky was a human being if would be Que himself. He has complete and utter over confidence in himself and with good reason. His current championship streak (3 in a row so far) he has has boosted his arrogance to the point where he only wants to deal and converse with those he deems worthy of his time. If proven worthy he'd be more willing to open up to his friendly side. His competitiveness knows no bounds and he does whatever it takes to get the job done. Fairly of course. He hates cheaters
History: Born and raised as a native of the Pimento Region. Que hails from Tearock Town, a small town that sits at the bottom Sky-fall cliff. This cliff was where Arceus was said to stand on and overlook the first civilizations of the world. Que was born in love with Pokèmon staring his journey the day he turned 13 with the ghost-fighting type Pokèmon Skelick, giving to him by his uncle. He and Skelick left the Pimento region to begin one in Kanto, Johto, and other regions until he felt he was prepared to take on his own. They have been on many journeys and met many trainers Pokèmon and friends. They ended up placing top 4 in Kanto, but they defeated the Johto champ, and also won two smaller championship cups involving strong trainers from all over. Now he feels as they he's ready to take the Pimento region on and win it with his pal Skelick.
Role: Main character and travels with two others(Ocs)
What are they: Trainer
Current Pokèmon: Skelick. He has more but left them all with Professor Caesar to start fresh on his journey.
Opinion of character:
Ash: A very powerful trainer in deed with that Pikachu. Our tie obviously proves that. I see my rivalry with him being quite the challenge. He better not disappoint me in our next battle when I defeat him or he's off my list of friends.
Tou: Quite the odd one isn't he. So carefree. He obviously won't provide me with much of a challenge. He laziness knows no bounds and he has no drive.
Z: My equal in skill but not in power. I have high regards of him so far but they can easily be disregarded if he shows me otherwise.
Mystery boy: Annoying little weak pest isn't he. What the heck does he possibly want from me so bad.
Other: has a weakness for Rice balls
Name: Zack Banks (Nicknamed Z)
Age: 13
Appearance: long black hair tied in a ponytail to his mid back. His bangs hang on the side of his face lightly on his shoulders. Has auburn eyes he wears a trench coat, a t-shirt, black jeans, and running shoes.
Personality: He's the brave one. Persistence is his thing and he doesn't back down from a challenge. He's easily excited and this sometimes tends to get him in trouble with others. He's extremely energetic and always is ready to go. Was his eyes are set he wants to achievement the best way possible. Though sometimes illegal he always means well
History: Born and raised as a native of the Pimento Region. Z comes from the region capital Harrell City known for having the toughest gym around run by the fighting type user Keith. Keith showed Z and Z's best-friend Tou the ways of a trainer which Z took a huge liking to unlike Tou. Keith sees Z as his prodigy and Z in turn hopes to be his successor. This led Z to the conclusion that the only proper successor to Keith has to win the Pimento Region cup and has studied for it every since. Now his time has come to prove to Keith he's ready and the first step is to earn one of the Professor's Prized Starters.
Role: Main character and travels with Tou and possibly one other
What are they: Trainer, aspiring Gym Leader
Current Pokèmon: none. Hopes to obtain and keep his new friend Krubble
Opinion of character:
Ash: I've seen him on TV competing league after league. He may not have won yet but I know he will one day, so long as he doesn't try and enter the same league as me. I'd love to be friends with a great guy like him.
Tou: I grew up with the guy. He's pretty chill. Yes he's lazy and acts weird sometimes but he's the funniest guy I know and knows great relaxation techniques. We have an inseparable bond and together we're gonna take the Pimento Region by storm.
Que: I've heard of him from Professor Caesar and Keith. They say he's tough but I cant him interfere with my dreams. He has sort of an attitude but he does take good care of his friends.
Mystery boy: I wanna help him but he's so stubborn. He doesn't let anyone in. Hopefully in due time we can become friends and have amazing battles
Other: Has terrible patience.
