I do not own pokemon or any reference I may make, they belong to their respective owners.
Characters are based of me and my friends with a few twists.
While traveling to Viridian City, we trained against a few wild pokemon, and Charmander learned had to use 'Ember'. But then I realized something important…
"Wait, I haven't given you a name yet!" (Well, it's important to me.) Charmander just stopped and looked at me, annoyed, basically saying, 'Let's hear what you've got'.
"Okay, so how about Flame?" He shook his head. "Alright then, how about Flare? Blaze? Charcoal? Flametooth?" He kept shaking his head until he chomped down on my hand, again.
"OW, what the hell?" I said looking at my once again bleeding hand. I started bandaging my hand again when I realized that I was hungry, and so was he. "How about we have lunch?" I said, to which he smiled and agreed.
'Well it's about time.' he seemed to say. He lit a fire so that I could heat up my noodles, while I pulled out some poke food for him.
"Alright let's eat!" While eating, I started to stare at the fire and then thought back to myself playing certain video games and seeing fire in them too. That's when it hit me.
"I GOT IT!" I exclaimed. Charmander jumped. "How would you like to be called Firaga?" He looked at me for an explanation. "In RPG's, Firaga is a level 3 fire spell, fire is level 1, and fira is level 2. Right now you're in your first form, but once your're fully evolved you'll be at level 3, get it now?" He looked at me, but with an approving look
'Sounds like an awesome name, I accept, hence forth I shall be known as Firaga' He was saying while nodding.
"Well since your nodding I'm guessing that you like it, great!" We finished eating and then continued down the path.
We finally made it to town, but it took longer since we trained some more. I got to the pokemon center to get Firaga healed up, and while waiting I overheard some local trainers.
"Yeah, down route 2 there's this really tough trainer. He beat me like nothing!" "Hmm sounds like fun, we're definitely challenging him." I thought.
The sun was starting to lower when we got to the area and I released Firaga.
"Alright, so I heard that there is a tough trainer around here, so were gonna challenge and beat him" Firaga had an excited look in his eye telling me that he was ready.
While looking for him, we fought a few wild pokemon. Well, we found him… but I didn't expect it was this guy. He was shorter than most people his age. He wore a white shirt with a short sleeved summer shirt on top and blue jeans. He had short black hair, brown skin, and wore glasses. It was Jon, a friend of mine of the same age, who left on his journey on the same day.
"Oh my god dude, what are you doing here?" I asked
"Just training. And beating whoever challenges me" He replied.
"You're the trainer people have been talking about. Well then, I challenge you!" Have you heard the word challenge enough yet? I bet you have.
He let out his Bulbasaur. "Alright," he said "Wait, I thought Charmander was already taken by-" Then he really looked at Firaga. "Oh My God! You have a shiny! I want it!" he said drooling. His Bulbasaur slapped him. "Oh sorry, okay let's go!"
'Well I can't believe the professor let someone take you, either he saw something in this guy or your trainer was desperate' Jon's Bulbasaur said to Firaga.
'Hah, the old man knew that there was something special in Eddy and that we would make it to the top' Firaga lied.
I pulled out my pokedex to get Bulbasaur's data. "Alright this will be easy. Ember!" The fireballs hit Bulbasaur hard.
"Damn, use Tackle!" Jon commanded.
"Dodge it and finish him with Ember!" Firaga side step to avoid the Tackle and hit Bulbasaur with another Ember. "And that's game." I smirked.
"Not yet, Eddy!" Jon replied cunningly. His Bulbasaur got back up. "Now, Double life sucker!" We didn't know how to react, and Firaga wish hit with Poison Powder and Leech Seed.
"Dammit!" Firaga and I hissed.
"Now watch your health slowly go away, while we heal! Ah ha ha Ah ha ha ha ha!" That damn laugh of his has always been annoying. (A shout out to the first person to say where that laugh is from.)
"Shit, we're in trouble." I turned to Firaga and he looked like he'd given up. He didn't even avoid the Tackle from Bulbasaur.
'Damn. My health's going fast and he's healing. I'll lose my first battle, shit' Firaga said.
Just by looking at him, I knew what he was thinking: we were not done yet.
"Firaga don't you give up yet!" I yelled, with it they turned to me. "Were gonna make it to the top and be champs, so you can't just give up like that! If you are gonna be my partner, then you have to forget how to give up! Even if don't have anything to fight with, we'll charge at our enemy just flailing our arms and we'll come out victorious. Remember a real man doesn't die, even when he's killed." Firaga slowly got up. He seemed to be encouraged slightly by my words.
'I can't believe that idiot had to tell me that, but he's right. Even down I'm not out' Firaga thought.
'How can you still stand…?' Bulbasaur said surprised.
"How is he standing up? Impossible…! Quick! Finish him with Tackle" Jon panicked.
"Use Scratch!" Firaga swiped his claws at Bulbasaur's leg's, which sent him flying on to his back.
"That doesn't matter. Bulbasaur has almost full health and Charmander's is almost out." Jon commented.
"Were not done" I said when I noticed a red glow emitting from Firaga's body. "Kekekeke" I chuckled. I pointed forward "Now finish him with a Full Power Ember!"
'You're finished' Firaga said before sending out fireballs again, but this time they were bigger. When they hit Bulbasaur, a large cloud of smoke was caused by the impact. As soon as it cleared, we saw Bulbasaur fainted on the ground.
"No way…we lost" Jon said
"Oh yeah, we won!" I shouted.
'Naturally.' Firaga cockily said.
After that we headed back to the pokemon center to get healed up. It had already gotten dark so we decided to spend the night. In the morning I got to my bag, and that's when I saw what happened.
"OH MY GOD! NNNNOOOOOOOOO! Some Rattata ate through my bag and stole all our food!" I shouted
'Why did you leave the bag on the ground? IDIOT!' Firaga shouted back.
We went shopping for food, when we ran into Jon again.
"Yo Eddy, so are you going to collect badges and challenge the league?" he asked.
"You need badges to challenge the league? Where do I get them?" I asked. Seriously, I didn't know.
Firaga and Jon saw that I was serious. 'This is my trainer. Shit, this is gonna be a long trip.'
With that I got stuck listening to a long lecture about gym's and how stupid I am. I'm not stupid; I just don't pay attention to news and all that.
Wow first battle scene and I won. Well like I said I'm new at this, so no hardcore flaming, but some advice would be nice.
