A/N: Welcome to the first revamped chapter of 'A Crazy Journey across Torgé'. I hope that you all will enjoy the revamp as much as the original. When I first started this story three years ago, I was just some fourteen-year-old kid and now look at me. The chapters are prewritten so you should expect an update every Friday. I do not own Pokémon. I only own the plotline and certain characters. Certain OC belongs to those who shall be credited.
Like every great story, there was a beginning. Sadly, I don't have a beginning. I'm too scared to leave home. I tried once but that didn't particularly work out so much. My name is Calvin Scott, and I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.
I am a fourteen-year-old Pokémon Coordinator. Or at least, I tried to be. Like every small child, I dreamed of putting on flashy shows. I wanted to dazzle and entertain a crowd like my mother.
I remember watching all of her shows on tape. When she was my age, she was crowned Top Coordinator. Before her, my grandfather was crowed. I know what you're thinking, three generations of Pokémon Coordinating huh?
I wanted to be like them so bad that I couldn't wait to get my Pokémon License. I begged my dad to take me to Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town. I already knew who I wanted.
The first day I got there, I rushed to the table. I knew for a fact, I didn't want Chimchar or Turtwig. I always wanted a Piplup to be my partner.
Going on my journey wasn't easy either. In the beginning, Piplup never listen to me. I failed to catch any Pokémon. I lost in my first two contest. After that, I knew I wasn't ready to be a Pokémon Coordinator. I packed my stuff and came back home.
That was four years ago. Now, I know I'm ready. I have acquired quite a few selections of Pokémon and I know that I can do it. I know I don't want to travel Sinnoh, nor be by myself. I made a promise to my cousin Jerry that we would travel together.
Don't get me wrong, I genuinely want to travel but I don't think I am good enough. I don't know what I'll do with myself. I can easily see myself on stage but what happens when I lose.
My father didn't really approve of me being a coordinator. As his first born child, let alone his first born son, I was expected to be a Pokémon Trainer like everybody else. Sure, I could battle really well but it was more to that than this.
Lately he has been lax on me following my dream to be top coordinator. He still trains me to work very hard so I know what I'm doing.
Suddenly a small cry breaks me out of my thoughts.
"Togefree," my baby Pokémon cried. Piplup tried to sooth her but it wasn't working out. I scooped her in my arms and gently rocked her back to sleep.
"What am I going to do with you two?" I questioned out loud. Before Piplup could reply my other Pokémon came inside my room.
"Mismaguis, Mag!" my Magical Pokémon said.
"What's going on everyone? Togepi is trying to sleep," I whispered.
Combusken and Dewott tugged on my pants, wanting me to follow them. It must be important if all my Pokémon is demanding my attention at once. I gently placed Togepi on the bed so she could rest.
"Bayleef, stay here in case Togepi wakes up," I commanded. She nodded her head, and my Pokémon followed me with Piplup leading the way.
-xXx-
"Mom, what is going on? I asked once I entered the backyard.
I looked to see a battle going on. I sighed at the familiar light brown skin and low cut hair under a blue baseball cap. He was wearing a black shirt, blue and white Bermuda shorts, and black trainers topped with a gold watch and a red PokéDex sticking out of pocket.
I looked at the girl, who was standing at five feet even. Her hazel eyes was blinded by rage and her long black ponytail swished with the wind. She was wearing a green t-shirt, khaki skinny jeans tucked in brown hiker's boots, and a blue denim jacket.
My mother sighed and looked at me, "Your cousin Jerry decided to pay us a visit and as always your sister picks a fight. So now, they are in the middle of a Pokémon battle.
"Leafeon, use Sunny Day then follow up with Razor Leaf!" My sister shouted.
I looked at my little brothers Jesse, Chris, and Jay as the look at the battle intriguingly. I rolled my eyes and decided to watch the family feud.
"Umbreon, dodge and use Bite!" Jerry said.
My cousin Jerry is from the Hoenn Region. Proud son of an Elite Four member and younger brother to the Rustburo Gym Leader, my cousin is one to tamper with.
That doesn't mean my sister is backing down. Our dad is the Sinnoh Frontier Brain so I don't see her backing down without a fight either. And our father, personally trained her.
Umbreon leaped into the air and bit down on Leafeon's neck. Leafeon cried out but quickly shook off the attack as if was nothing?
"Aerial-Ace!" Shadé shouted!
"Feint Attack!" Jerry shouted!
Leafeon and Umbreon had a state down before taking their stances. Leafeon summersaulted in the air before taking flight with white streams around her. Umbreon charged towards the sky surround by shadows. Both Pokémon disappeared then reappeared colliding with each other.
"Okay that's enough! We get it, now you two grow up!" I said interrupting the battle.
The both ragged at me and recalled their Pokémon. I'm so sick of this feuding and animosity. We are all family so we must work together.
My cousin greeted me first and pounded my fist. I quickly put him in a headlock until he jabbed me in the gut.
"So what brings you here, dear cousin of mines?" I asked.
"Yes and unexpectedly at that," Shadé rudely added. I gave her a look and she rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's time," he said.
I gave him a puzzled look and then it hit me. Finally, the opportunity that I was finally looking for. A chance to train to be the very best coordinator.
"I've trained for a while. Umbreon is doing very good and helping Larvitar train. Swampert is finally up to match with my Dad's Sharpedo. Granted that's his weakest Pokémon but it means something to me," Jerry said.
"It's time for us to live out dream and have our own path. We can't keep living in our family's name. It's time, we made our own," Jerry said.
"Plus, I'm so bored in this house!" I exclaimed. I shuffled around looking at my backyard. I know my entire life is about to change.
"You're not the only one!" Shadé said, rolling her eyes.
"Then what should I do then?" I asked. I already knew the answer but I wanted to hear it from her.
"We're going on a Pokémon journey. Come on bro, you always dreamed of being Top Coordinator, so why not?" She said jumping up and down.
"We?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.
"Yes we, as in all three of us!" She raged.
"It was supposed to be Calvin and me!" Jerry raged.
Before these two had the chance to kill each other, I decided to cut it. The last thing I need is these two arguing.
"How about the three of us go together. You two can finally settle your difference at the Pokémon League. You two can final resolve your differences. And, it would hurt if we all travelled together," I suggested.
The both turned to each other and huffed. Good, I seem to have gotten my point across and what I want.
"But the question is where?" I asked.
"There is a new region, just north of Kalos. I heard it had Pokémon that could be found and breed differently than it would in here," Jerry replied.
"So it's happening, we are going to...," I trailed off.
"Torgé," Jerry smirked.
"Torgé?" I questioned in my mind. I never heard of it so I don't know what to expect.
-xXx-
"So are you sure about this. You two are really ready to leave home," my mother asked.
"Yes mom, we're ready!" Sade said.
"Then I have no choice but to let you go," my mom said. She started to sob as my step-father calmed her down. He gave us the "hurry up before she change her mind" look and we scrambled towards the blimp.
"Wait!" A familiar voice shouted.
We turned around to see Nurse Joy running towards us with something in her hand. I recognized it as a Pokémon egg.
"Shadé, I want you to have this. It is for all the time you volunteered at the Pokémon Center. I wish you good luck on your journey," she said, handing Shadé the Pokémon Egg.
Shadé was shocked but gratefully accepted the gift. She hugged Nurse Joy and we finally boarded the blimp.
"So we head to Snowpoint City and then we take a ship to Torgé. That sounds easy," Shadé said.
I shrugged my shoulders and looked out the window. I'm leaving everything behind to start on my quest to become Top Coordinator.
I looked down at Togepi and Piplup. This is it. This is everything that I have been dreaming of. Torgé, here I come!
