Prologue: Adventures in...Sinnoh?

Welcome...to the Kalos region.

A region truly full of beauty, and of course, pokemon.

And if you don't know what pokemon are then leave, just leave.

However, this story does not begin in the Kalos region.

No, for this particular story to begin, we must first go to the Sinnoh region, near the region's pokemon daycare specifically.

Here three individual's sit.

One has black hair and blue eyes, and is wearing a dark blue shirt with black stripes and red jeans, a red and black backpack is lying next to him, along with a matching cap. We could say that this is our 'hero' of the story, but we can confirm that he is Elliot from Lumios City.

Perched on his shoulder is a blue frog like creature with bubbles around it's neck, a Froakie.

Sitting adjacent to him is a girl with long purple (yes, purple) hair. She wears a blue waistcoat and black skinnys, she is Liz, a fire-type specialist from Vaniville Town.

Sitting in the middle of her crossed legs is a small creature with a long nose and four red spots on its back, a Cyndaquil.

Sitting across from them both is a boy wearing a green and white jacket with orange baggy jeans, Thomas, the final of the three friends who is also from Vaniville Town.

Sitting next to him with it's arms crossed is a small brown creature with green spikes adjourning its head, a Chespin.

The reason for the three Kalos natives presence in Sinnoh was also the reason Liz was able to obtain her Cyndaquil. Sending in 1000 postcards had got her and her two friends a tour across the five other regions by private plane. The three had previously been to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Unova, and Liz managed to throw a very well aimed Poke-Ball at the wild Cyndaquil.

All three are 14. They decided to start their journeys a little later and all together, so that they could gain more experience before setting off. Their plan is to start once they return to Kalos.

Currently though, the three friends and their pokemon were sitting around the object of their current discussion.

A pokemon egg.

It was orange with a red flame in the center. It had been found by the Day-Care Couple only a few hours earlier on their doorstep. Normally they would have happily taken it under their wing, but many eggs currently adjorned their shelves and there was simply just no room for the little egg. That happened to be when our three friends had strolled past, and the Day-Care Couple instantly recognised them as kind trainers.

There was one problem though.

Who exactly would keep it?

I suppose I had better hand this story over to our 'hero' then, let us see his argument in the matter.

OCXY

"I think I should keep it." Liz said with an all-knowing nod. "It's obviously a fire type, I'll be able to take care of it the best."

"Cyndaquil!" The little pokemon sitting on her lap nodded in agreement.

"Since when were you an expert on fire types?" I said.

"Since always." She said with half-lidded eyes.

"Froakie Fro." My partner kept with my vote on me keeping the egg, nodding it's head.

"Well Cano agrees with me, don't you?" She said to the fire type.

"Cyn! Cyndaquil!" Cano jumped up and down to show its agreement.

"I still don't get the name Cano. Where did you get the idea for that name?" I asked in honest curiosity.

She rolled her eyes. "Cano, you know, as in 'Volcanoe?', Cano?"

I hit my palm with my house in time with Froakie. "I get it!"

"Froakie!" My water type agreed with me.

"Hey um, can we get back to the matter at hand?" Thomas spoke up. "I don't mind one of you two having the egg."

"Chespin!" The grass type cheered it's agreement over-enthusiastically.

Liz huffed. "Right then, looks like we'll have to settle this the old fashioned way."

"It appears so." I said.

We both got ready.

"Rock! Paper! Scissors!"

We drew for five minutes.

Froakie had better luck then me. Since Cano had no fingers, and therefore could only use paper, Froakie won every time with scissors.

We quickly grew bored as Thomas and Chespin also started joining in.

"Okay, Plan B." I decided.

Liz nodded. "Pokemon battle."

We both walked to each side of the field with our respective pokemon, as Chespin struggled to pick up the egg and carry it over to the side.

"We'll be judge then!" Thomas called.

"Chespin! Ches!" Chespin yelled as he waddled back over and layed the egg carefully next to him.

"Okay, this is a one on one battle with no subs! You win when your opponents pokemon can't battle, got it?" Thomas declared.

"We know how battles work..." The two of us said with a sweat-drop.

"Froak..."

"Cynda..."

Our pokemon agreed.

I looked at my partner on my shoulder. "Alright Froakie, let's show Liz our spirit!"

"Froakie!" Froakie nodded with determination and did an impressive leap off of my shoulder onto the plain grassy battlefield.

Liz nodded. "Cano! Let's burn up the battlefield!"

"Cynda!" The little pokemon ran forward across from Froakie. "Cyndaquiiiiiiil!" A fierce fire erupted from Cano's back as he went into battle mode.

"Let's begin!" Thomas said.

"Chespiiiiin!" Chespin yelled waving his arms around enthusiastically.

NEW ANIME FLASHY BATTLE BEGIN SEQUENCE! YAY!

Elliot and Froakie VS. Liz and Cano

"Let's start this thing off Froakie! Bubble, go!"

"Frooooa, kiiiiiiie!" The little water frog took a big intake of breath and blew powerful bubbles at Cano.

"Counter it with Ember, Cano!"

"Cyyyyyyyyndaaaaaaaaaquiiiiiiil!" Tiny little fireballs flew out of it's mouth and clashed with the bubbles, creating a small explosion that quickly cleared away.

"Use Quick Attack, Froakie!"

"Froakie! Froooooooakie!" White light built up around Froakie until he leapt forward at astonishing speed, followed by a thick white trail.

"Dodge, dodge, dodge!"

Cano rolled, jumped, and ducked with impressive agility, until Froakie's energy faded and he landed right back into it's original place.

"Wow! Great job Liz! But we're not done yet!"

"Froakie!"

"Well we haven't even started yet, Elliot! Cano, Smokescreen!"

"Cyndaquiiiil!" Heavy black smoke floated out of it's mouth, surrounding Froakie.

"Froakie..." Froakie called to me in a worried tone.

"Don't panic Froakie! Use Lick to whip it away with your tongue!"

"Froakie! Froa-kie!" A long pink tongue shot out and whipped through the smoke, wafting it away, that is until Froakie's tongue stopped.

"Froa? Froa!" Froakie tried to pull its tongue back but it wouldn't return to his mouth.

When the smoke cleared Cano was standing on Froakie's tongue!

"Froakie!" I yelled desperately.

"You've got him Cano! Keep him still and use Swift!"

Cyndaquil fired hundreds of small golden stars at Froakie, who could only endure the attack.

"Froaaaaa!" Froakie tried to cringe away as he was bombarded.

"Ack! Froakie! Water Pulse!"

Froakie charged up an orb of water in his palms and launched it at Cano.

"Dodge again Cano!"

The fire type leapt away and off of Froakie's tongue, which gratefully shot back into its owners mouth...if tongues can be grateful.

"Okay Cano, let's show Elliot and Froakie our combo! Use Swift and Ember together!"

"Cyyyyyyyndaquiiiiiil!" Cano launched stars into the air followed by small embers. The two of us watched with wide eyes as the stars were enveloped in fire and poised to strike!

"Froakie! Cano's defenceless! Use Bubble whilst you still have a chance!"

"Froakikikikikikikie" The bubbles hit the Cyndaquil square in the chest and launched it back as the inflamed stars fell down on Froakie, creating a huge explosion.

"Froakie! No!"

"Cano! Are you alright!?"

As the dust cleared both pokemon were lying injured on the ground, but both slowly staggered to their feet (Or crouching position in Froakie's case and on all fours in Cano's).

"Looks like this is it! Cano! Show 'em your Flame Wheel!"

"Cyndaaaaaaaaaa!" The pokemon spun and was enveloped in flames and rolled quickly towards us!

"This is it Froakie! Do or die! Use Water Pulse!"

"Frooooooooa..." My friend charged up the watery orb in one of its palms and threw it at the inferno wheel, creating an explosion.

But still Flame Wheel charged through! Albeit a lot more weakly.

"Nice try, Elliot! But we've won this!"

"Oh really?"

Liz raised an eyebrow and then gasped as she realised Froakie was charging another Water Pulse in it's other hand!

"Show 'em your spirit with Double Water Pulse, Froakie!"

"Froooooooooakiiiiiiiie!" He threw the other attack at Cano's charge, exploding again, but this time Cano was thrown back out of the smoke with a pained cry.

"Cano!" Liz cried as Cano landed in front of her with swirly eyes as it's fire dwindled out.

"Cyyyyyynnnn..." Cano weakly said unconscious.

"Cano is unable to battle! Elliot and Froakie are the winners!" Thomas announced as Chespin did a little happy dance. To be honest he would have danced either way.

"Yes! Froakie you were great out there!" I embraced my partner as he leaped into my arms.

"Froakie!" Froakie cheered happily, returning the gesture.

"Cano, thank you so much, you fought really well." Liz comforted the little starter.

"Cynda..." Cano yawned. Comforted by its trainers words it fell into a content sleep.

Froakie re-perched on my shoulder as we walked over. "That was a great battle Liz! You and Cano were on fire! One of you literally."

"Yeah, you too. Okay then, I guess a deal is a deal, you can keep the egg." She smiled.

Both me and my partner cheered for our spoils.

As we walked back over to the egg we suddenly saw that it was glowing!

"It's hatching!" Thomas stated.

"Alright then! Let's see what it is!" Liz said as we all crouched down.

The egg glowed a blinding white as it then reformed itself into a new shape and the light faded away.

In the eggs place was a Chimchar. An orange monkey pokemon with a flaming backside.

"Woah! A Chimchar!" I gasped.

"Froakiiiiie." Said pokemon breathed.

"Oh come on! A Chimchar!? I missed out on a Chimchar!?" Liz instantly gained a depressed aura. "Great, just great."

"Chiiiiimchar..." The new born rubbed its eyes sleepily and looked at its very first surroundings before turning to us.

"Hey, Chimchar." I greeted it. "I'm Elliot, and this is Froakie."

"Froak!" The water type raised its hand in greeting.

"Chimchar." The new pokemon said, then sniffling and snuffling around the three of us. "Chimchar! Chi-hi-hi-hi-imchar!" It started doing it's own little dance around me and Froakie, which Chespin and my partner quickly joined him in.

"Well, Chimchar seems to like you Elliot." Thomas said.

"I guess as long as Chimchar's happy with you it's okay." She said with a wave of her hand, though I could tell she was still annoyed.

"Welcome to the team, Chimchar!" I said happily.

"Chim! Chim! Chimchar!" He happily replied.

OCXY

It was late at night now, we were staying in the towns pokemon centre in front of the Video Phone, calling our friend Serena.

She picked up relatively quickly in her pink pajamas, we could tell she was brushing her hair as a brush was stuck in her blonde hair.

"Man, why do you guys have to call me so late?" Serena said as she tried to pull the brush out of her hair.

"Nice to see you too, Serena." I said with a smile as Froakie croaked happily.

"How are you guys doing in Sinnoh?" Selena asked as she finally pulled her hairbrush out and continued combing her hair.

"It's all good over here!" Liz said enthusiastically. A fully healed Cano in her arms. "How's the rhyhorn riding going?"

"Don't remind me." She sighed, puffing out her cheeks. "Mum just won't stop, and I just end up falling off. Again, and again, and again."

"Sounds rough." Thomas said.

"Yeah, but how about you guys! Got anything interesting to tell me?" She asked.

"Serena! I gotta show you my new partner, Chimchar!" I picked up my second pokemon and put him on the little table.

"Chimchar!" He cried enthusiastically, dancing on the spot.

"Wow! He's so cute!" Serena squealed. "How did you get him?"

"He hatched form an egg." Liz said with hidden malice. "He beat me in a battle for him."

"No worries Liz, you'll be top in no time!" Serena reassured her.

"Hey! What about me?" I said sadly.

"Chimchaaaaar!" Chimchar copied my tone perfectly with his large eyes.

"Serena! Are you talking with your friends?" We heard Serena's mum call.

"Yes mum! I'll be off soon." She said in an exasperated tone. "Looks like I gotta go guys, talk to you soon, bye!"

"Bye Serena!" We all called as the Video Phone was turned off.

Suddenly Cano, Chespin and Chimchar all yawned loudly.

"I guess your right Cano, it is pretty late." Liz admitted.

Thomas scooped up Chespin as the two began to walk away. "Are you coming, Elliot?" He called back.

"I'll be along in a minute, guys!" I called as Chimchar drifted off and I put him on a nearby sofa.

Once I was sure my friends were gone I dialed in the number on the Video Phone. It rung for a while until she finally appeared.

"Hey Alexa!" I called cheerily.

"Fraokiiiiie!" My partner called.

"Hey there Elliot, are you doing well in Sinnoh?" The video recording woman asked.

"Yeah! It's great here! And I hatched a new pokemon for my team! I wish I could introduce you, but he's sleeping right now." I said.

"Wow! I wish I could meet him!" Alexa said. Then suddenly a yellow and black lizard creature, a Helioptile, appeared.

"Heli! Helioptile!" The pokemon cried happily.

"Helioptile! How are you?" I said with a smile.

"Froakie! Froakie!" My partner cheered from my shoulder as he greeted his good friend, who returned the gesture.

"I'm glad you're getting on alright Elliot, I've got some great footage from the Decolora Islands." Alexa said.

"Yeah, sorry we weren't there at the time." I sighed.

"No worries. I actually met some good friends here." Alexa said. "In fact, there's someone I really want you to meet as well, I hope you two can at some point."

"Sure, if you think he's cool." I laughed.

"So then, are the sights in Sinnoh good?"

"It's kinda chilly here, but I'm just so glad I got to go to all the regions on this trip. But I still can't wait to get back to Kalos, right Froakie?"

"Froakie! Fro!"

"So then, how many days until you go back?"

"I'd say 3, what about you?"

"I think I'm almost done, but I'm not sure. But when I get back stop by the Lumios Press, I'll show you the footage I got!"

"Awesome! I can't wait." I then thought for a second. "Hey Alexa, we're planning to start our journey as soon as we get back to Kalos, and I'm gonna take part in the pokemon league!"

"Froakie! Froakie!" Froakie fist pumped with determination.

"Really? All three of you huh? Okay, but you know what that means."

I nodded. "Viola."

"Sure you're ready?"

"We'll have to be. Besides, we've got Chimchar now, we'll win."

She laughed for some reason. "Yep, you definitely want to meet this friend I made, he's a lot like you."

"Okay! And then we'll battle, right?"

"Yep!"

We both smiled.

"Well then, good night little brother."

"Goodnight big sis."

"Froakiiiiiie!" Froakie called to Helioptile.

"Heliiiiiiiii!" He waved back.

And with that I switched the Video Phone off.

Next Time: Elliot, Liz and Thomas return to the Kalos region to start their journey! They'll meet some new faces and have a lot of journeys. The only question is, will their paths be separate?

Hello there! In case you didn't know, this is my first pokemon fanfic, I hope you enjoyed it. And yes, this will follow the XY anime series, for those of you wondering.
