Chapter 1: Dreams and Ambitions in Kalos!
The plane touched down in the runway until it slowed down and finally came to a stop. The doors opened and the first person that came out was a teenager wearing a blue jacket with black stripes and a red and black hat with a matching backpack. A Froakie was perched on his shoulder as the boy jumped up and yelled:
"HEY KALOS! IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!"
"FROAKIE!"
I jumped down the stairs onto my home regions ground and took a big intake of breath.
"Smell that Froakie? That's the smell of home!"
"Froakie!" Froakie cheered as he was back in his home region as well.
I took the Poke-Ball off of my belt and threw it forward. "Chimchar! Come on out!"
In a flash of white light my new pokemon was with us. "Chimchar!" He said with a little dance.
"Chimchar! Let me introduce you to the Kalos region!" I spread my arms out across the runway and the path that lead to my hometown, Lumios City.
"Chimchaaaaaaar!" The little fire pokemon gasped with large sparkly eyes.
Liz and Thomas with Cano and Chespin respectively exited shortly after.
"Did you REALLY need to shout so loud?" Liz sighed.
"You know how he is." Thomas said.
"Okay guys here's the plan." My pokemon turned to me. "First, let's see Professor Sycamore, Serena said she's starting her journey! Then we'll see Alexa at Lumios Press, and then we go to Santalude to battle Viola and get our first Gym Badge! Are you with me?"
"Froakie!"
"Chimchar!"
And so we began our stride to Professor Sycamore's Lab, whilst Liz and Thomas walked behind us.
"Now that we're starting our journeys, I think I'll pick up Flare." Liz said.
"Your Fennekin?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah, I couldn't take her on the journey because the Professor had to have her take a physical test. I really missed her." Liz sighed.
"Cynda!" Cano seemed happy to be able to see Flare again.
"Well we still have to catch our second pokemon. What do you think we should catch Chespin?" Thomas turned to his partner.
Chespin thought for a second, then stretched his face to look like a Flabebe, then a Fletchling, and then a Lillipup.
We finally arrived outside the professors lab to find someone coming out.
"Serena!" We all called, running up to her.
"Elliot! Liz! Thomas!" She said as we all had a group hug. Breaking away quickly. "You really came back on time!"
"And you really started your journey!" I said happily.
"Yep" She then picked up a yellow fox with red flares in its ears, a Fennekin. "Everyone, meet Fennekin!"
"Fenn!" The pokemon cried happily.
"So you chose Fennekin, huh?" I said.
"Good choice." Liz nodded.
"I'm glad we can all start our journey together." Thomas nodded.
"Yeah!" Serena said with a smile. "So where do you want to go?"
"Let's head to Santalune City and battle Elliot's sister." Liz suggested.
I sighed. "Make sure you try your best though, Viola's tough, and I should know."
The three looked at me.
"Your not coming?" Serena asked.
"I've just gotta go to the Lumios Press to see Alexa first." I said.
They all nodded. "I see, you wanna see her after her trip to Decolora Islands." Liz confirmed.
"Yep. But I'll catch up to you in know time! Promise!" I said.
Liz nodded. "Okay, I'll pick up Flare then we'll be on our way." She then jogged into the Lab.
"See you soon Elliot." Thomas said as he and Serena followed her.
I looked at Froakie. "Alright buddy, let's go see Big Sis!"
"Froakie!" He nodded in agreement.
"Chimchar!" Chimnchar agreed as I returned him to his Poke-Ball.

I walked into the large building and up to the receptionist, who greeted me with a smile.
"Hello Elliot." She said, already knowing my name. "Come to see your sister have you?"
"Yep, she is back isn't she?"
She gestured to the stairs. "You know which department she's in."
"Great! Thanks!"
"Froakie!"
We walked up the stairs until we finally came to Alexa's department, where we found her busily looking through some footage.
"Hey Alexa!" I greetfed her at the door.
She turned and smiled at me. "Hello there Elliot." She said as she opened the door and let me in.
"Heli! Helioptile!"
"Froakie!"
The two pokemon friends instantly began chasing each other in circles whilst cheering.
"So then, where's your new pokemon?" My older big sister asked.
I took out his Poke-Ball. "Chimchar, meet my sister!"
Chimchar appeared once more with a little leap of joy. "Chimchar!"
"A Chimchar? Why didn't you tell me?" She instantly grabbed her camera.
"No filming!" I pleaded with her.
"Okay, okay." She sighed.
Chimchar instantly hit it off with Helioptile, and the two began playing together like children.
"Hey Alexa, can you show me the footage you got from the Decolora Islands?"
She got out a disc. "I saved a back-up just for you." She then got a film recorder, put the disc in and started playing it.
Me and my pokemon watched as the film tapes rolled, and I was constantly asking questions.
"Hey, is that the guy you were talking about?" I asked, pointing to the guy with a Pikachu on his shoulder.
She nodded. "Yep, that's Ash, he's currently journeying through the Kalos region."
My eyes widened. "What!? Is he here in Lumios City!?"
"No, sorry but he left for Viola's Gym."
"He's challenging Sis?"
"Yep, I was thinking of going to watch him."
"And not my battle?" I pouted.
She ruffled my hair, much to my annoyance. "Of course! Why wouldn't I want to watch a battle between my two siblings? The only problem is who would I cheer for?" She pondered the question.
"Me! Cheer for me!"
"Froakie!"
"Chimchar!"
She laughed as the tape came to an end. Suddenly we could hear clapping behind us, and we turned to see a man wearing a lab coat with wavy black hair.
"Professor Sycamore!" I cried.
"Froakie!" My starter cheered at the sight of the man who had given him to me.
"Elliot! Alexa! It's good to see you back from your journeys, Liz and Thomas informed me of your region journey." The professor chuckled.
I then gasped in horror. "Oh no! I forgot to see you after I came back!"
"Froakiiiiie!" Froakie also yelled in horror.
The professor waved his hand. "It's perfectly fine. I know where you get your forgetfulness from."
Both me and Alexa sighed.
"Chimchar!" Said pokemon ran up to the new figure, who bent down and stroked his head.
"And this must be Chimchar. He's certainly very healthy after being hatched only three days ago." The professor then stood up. "Here Ellix, since your starting your journey you'll need this."
He then pulled out a blue Pokedex and gave it to me.
"Wow! My very own Pokedex!" I pointed it at Froakie and clicked the button, a holographic image appeared as the pokedex expanded, and a picture of Froakie popped up.
'Froakie, the Bubble Frog pokemon. It creates bubbles around it's neck, head and back to protect itself. The bubbles can be thrown to weaken enemies.'
I pocketed the Pokedex and turned to the professor. "Thanks so much Professor! Sorry again." I bowed in apology.
"Froakie."
"Chimchar."
My pokemon copied me.
"No worries, just go and enjoy your journey with your pokemon." He smiled. That same warm smile. "You'll be able to go far with Froakie and Chimchar by your side."
"Yeah! Your right professor! Chimchar, return!" The red beam returned Chimchar to his Poke-Ball. "Now onto Sis' Gym In Santalune City!"
"Froakie!" Froakie agreed.
"Elliot, you should know that Viola isn't at her Gym at the moment." Alexa noted.
I thought about this for a second, then just smiled. "No worries, we'll be okay!" I then rushed out the door. "Thanks Professor! Thanks Alexa!" I then dashed out.
By the time I had run to Lumios City's route to Santalune I was lying on the floor in exhaustion whilst Froakie poked me.
"Froakie?" He said with worry.
"I'm fine Froakie." I mumbled standing up so he could get back on my shoulder. "Right then. I hereby declare this as the very first step of our pokemon journey!"
"Froakie!"
And so we stepped out onto the path.
...And completely ran off the path into the canopy.
"FROAKIE!?" My partner did a pokemon face fault.
"Don't worry Froakie." I reassured him. "I know where Viola is."
"Froak?" Froakie looked at me with his traditional half-lidded look.
"She took me there all the time when I was younger. Let's go!" I said.
"Froooooo...Froakie." Froakie shrugged as we set off.

As I suspected, it was still there.
In Santalune Forest is a little camp, nothing more then two tents really, my sisters camp for hiding out for her photography.
My sister loves bug pokemon, and to be honest I do too, they're so beautiful and mysterious. There are even bug legendaries.
Damn my sisters bug-loving influence.
I walked a way and found her lying in an undergrowth, camera poised.
"Hey Viola." I said.
She was startled by my voice and turned around, only to stand up and smile. "Hello Elliot!" She hugged me abruptly which I blushed at, I was glad no-one I knew was here, especially Liz.
She broke the hug and continued to smile. "How was your journey?"
"Great! The regions were so awesome!" I decided not to tell her about Chimchar, I wanted her to see him in battle. "But why didn't you call me? Or pick up my calls?"
She rubbed the back of her head with a nervous smile. "Sorry little brother, I've been out here all week getting some great shots!"
My jaw dropped. "ALL WEEK!? Aren't you a Gym Leader, Sis?"
"I got some time off." She replied plainly. All I could do was sweat-drop.
Suddenly we both heard rustling and Viola pushed me and Froakie to the ground and placed a finger to her lips. We peered through the bush to see a Scatterbug by a river, drinking.
"What do you think?" She whispered.
"Female, knows the moves Tackle and String Shot, will evolve into a Garden pattern Vivillon." Viola smirked at me. "Pure luck." I grumbled.
She took a few pictures, then I had an idea. "Viola, I want to catch that Scatterbug as my first official capture!" Technically I hadn't properly caught Chimchar. I blame my wanting to catch a bug type on my sis.
She looked at me with wide eyes. "You want to catch that Scatterbug?" She then hugged me again. "Finally, you've come around to my way of thinking!"
"Okay! Okay! Can I please catch it now?" I begged.
"Right! Go get it!" I ran out of the bush to confront the little bug.
"Hey! Scatterbug!" The pokemon turned to me. "Your gonna be my first capture! Froakie! Let's go!"
"Froakie!" My partner leapt forward with determination.
The Scatterbug glared at us and then charged forward with Tackle.
"Dodge, Froakie!"
Froakie flipped out of the way with perfect timing.
"Now! Quick Attack!"
Froakie charged at high speed and threw the Scatterbug into a tree, but it quickly got up and fired a String Shot.
"Jump and use Lick!"
Froakie jumped to dodge the silk and shot its tongue at the bug to lick it. The little bug-type got goosebumps from the attack, but still managed to catch Fraokie with a Tackle as he fell down.
"Don't falter Froakie! Throw your Frubbles!"
"Froooooakie!" The bubble frog reached to its back and threw a large group of bubbles at the Scatterbug, temporarily blinding it.
"Finish it with Bubble!"
"Froa-kiiiiie!" Froakie shot his bubbles at the unsuspecting pokemon, evidently knocking it out due to the swirls in its eyes.
"This is it! Poke-Ball go!"
I threw the ball which bounced off of the bug and opened up, sucking it in in a red light, then shook to and fro.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Ding!
My eyes widened and a wide smile broke on my face. "Alright!" I rushed over to the Poke-Ball and picked it up. "This is it! Our first capture! We caught a Scatterbug!"
"Froakie!" Froakie cheered, leaping into the air.
Viola came over with a smile. "Well done Elliot, you did really well for your first capture."
"Thanks sis." I smiled as Froakie climbed back on my shoulder.
"You and Froakie really make a great team." Viola said.
"Alright Scatterbug! Come out!" Scatterbug appeared in a bright light. "Welcome to the team!"
"Scrip!" It said, scuttling on top of my head.
"Hey Elliot, looks like it's getting dark." Viola said as I noticed the sky was turning orange.
"Yeah, and the Pokemon Centre's ages away." I huffed.
"Why don't you stay in the spare tent for tonight?" Viola suggested.
"Really? Thanks Viola!"
"Froakie!"
"Scrip! Scrip!"

Slight flaw in my plan.
We had marshmallows by the fire and I felt it unfair if Chimchar didn't get any...plus he lit the fire.
"Trying to keep a Chimchar from me huh?" Viola said as she ate a marshmallow.
"I just wanted to show him in battle..." I admitted.
"It's alright, little brother." She said.
"Vivillon." My sister's pokemon chirped.
"Surskit." Her other pokemon agreed.
Our two groups had really hit it off, especially Vivillon and Scatterbug. I decided to finally ask her.
"Hey Viola, I was wondering if I could battle with you." I said.
"Oh? Another practise battle, but with your new pokemon?"
"No, I've started my journey now, so I want to challenge you to an official Gym Battle."
She stopped, looked up, and smiled. "So you've finally started your journey? Well done! Okay then, tomorrow we'll go to the Gym and have an official battle." Her battle smile suddenly appeared. "But don't think I'll go easy on you."
I smirked right back. "I don't want you to. We'll fight with everything we have!"
"Froakie!"
"Chimchar!"
"Skrip!"
"That's what I like in my challengers." She said as she finished off her final marshmallow and returned her pokemon. "Well it's getting late, better go to bed I suppose."
"Yep." I said, returning Chimchar and Scatterbug. "Goodnight sis."
"Goodnight little brother." She said as she disappeared in her tent.
Me and Froakie got in the spare tent and settled down, but I couldn't sleep. "Hey Froakie? You awake?"
"Froak." He confirmed.
"Tomorrow we're gonna battle Viola again, but as a proper Gym Battle! Let's give it our all tomorrow!"
"Froakie!" He cheered as we high-fived. Then we fell asleep on the first day of our journey.
Next Time: Elliot and Viola meet Alexa, Ash, Pikachu, Clemont and Bonnie at the Santalune Gym. But when Ash loses his battle will Elliot be able to defeat his powerful bug using sibling?
