Chapter Two - A New Adventure Begins
After just leaving Azeala town, I was at a loss of words as I walked down a path with Espeon on my shoulder. This was the beginning of my new quest in Johto and I had received a starter pokemon from professor Birch.
"Mud-kip, mud-kip", the pokemon sang to itself as it skipped in front of me. It reminded of Skitty, another easy going, happy pokemon? I couldn't complain with that. Yet, a part of me wished I had picked the Torchic.
Suddenly I felt my hands ball up into fists and anger ran through my veins.
"Ugh that Declan! If I had that Torchic I would flame his stupid Treekco!"
Kirlia and Skitty looked at me startled.
I had battled Declan after professor Birch had given me Mudkip.
"Be warned Dec, I hear she's quite the trainer!" Birch had said trying to hype me up, but Declan merely laughed.
"No worries here pop, she's nothing I can't handle."
The way he had said it just burned me up! His voice was arrogant and he gave me that same smirk. I wanted to rip it off his face! Losing the battle didn't help either as Declan only boasted.
"After a match like that, it's clear that you have very little experience."
"What did you say?!" I shouted. "I'll have you know I have collected all eight Hoenn badges!"
"You did so well Treekco", he soothed, completely ignoring me. His Treekco chirped and gave me a look. It was the same look Declan had given me, as if it thought it was superior to me!
"Grr" I stomped each foot into the ground as I took a step. His teasing was getting to me. I was going to have a real battle with Declan and crush him!
"Mudkip!" I nearly stepped onto Mudkip as it came to a sudden halt.
"Hey, what's the matter?" It looked alert and started sniffing the ground. I looked around, we had wandered to the entrance of a forest.
"Skitty and Kirlia return", I said cautiously as I put them back into their pokeballs. I noticed a sign, it read "Petalburg Woods, home of bug pokemon."
"Gross", I muttered. "Whoa! Mudkip wait!" Mudkip suddenly bolted right into the forest! I gave chase, running after it at full speed.
"Come back! Where are you going?" I shouted.
My shoes squeaked beneath me, "Ah!" I slipped but regained balance.
"It really would have been a good idea to take those new running shoes from mom!" I scolded as I returned into my sprint.
Mudkip was still in sight and was...slowing down.
"Phew thank god!" I said relieved as Mudkip stopped.
"Oh miss!"
"Huh?" I said out of breath. A middle aged man looked at me with a panicked expression painted on his face.
"Oh please miss you have to help me! You're a trainer are you not?"
"Yeah but"-"Then please please please! Some thug took off with my wallet! Can you get it back?"
I felt annoyed, Mudkip lead me to him? Did I look like officer Jenny? The man looked so frightened though.
"Ugh, fine. Which direction did he run off to?"
"Oh thank you! That way!" He said pointing left.
"Okay! Let's go Espeon and Mudkip!" Mudkip nodded, looking ready for battle.
"Espeon!" Esepon leapt off my shoulder and ran in the direction of the crook.
"Let's follow!" Mudkip and I followed Espeon to a man sitting under a tree. The man was wearing a blue bandana, jail style shirt and fanned out blue pants.
"What an...interesting outfit", I thought to myself.
As soon as he saw me he scrambled to his feet, "What do you want kid?!" His voice was husky and his yellow eyes were piercing.
"I believe you stole a wallet, I'm just going to take it back to the rightful owner."
He grumbled something and tossed out a pokeball. "Pulverize them Crawdaunt!"
Espeon got into a battle stance in front of the large crab pokemon. I suppressed the urge to pull out my pokedex that now had national dex, thanks to professor Birch.
"Alright Espeon let's show 'em! Use quick attack!" Espeon flew across the field at lightning speed.
"Tch, Crawdaunt! Dodge!" Crawdaunt leapt up into the air.
"Crab hammer!" The man demanded.
"Crawdaunt!"
Espeon was struck with it's claw and was smashed into the ground.
"Ah! Espeon!" I gasped.
"Espy!" Espeon got back to it's feet and turned to look at me. I could see the fire in it's eyes, it wasn't even close to giving up.
"Ok! Use psychic!"
Crawdaunt looked tortured as Espeon used psychic to lift into the air.
"Crawdaunt!" The man called in desperation. "Ugh you meddling brat!"
I glared at him, "Espeon let it go." Crawdaunt plunged into a rock and gradually arose.
"BUBBLE BEAM!" The thief yelled.
"Dodge and then quick attack Espeon."
Espeon did just that and was soon just inches in front of Crawdaunt.
"Let's finish this with iron tail!"
Espeon's tail began to glow as it bounded into the air, twirled and struck Crawdaunt. That was enough to finish the battle as Crawdaunt fainted.
"Yeah way to go! Now hand it over you!" I demanded.
The guy scoffed as he returned his pokemon, "Team aqua will rule kid, don't you meddle with us again! I don't need this anyways!"
He chucked the wallet at me and made his escape out of the forest. Espeon used psyhic to stop it mid-air and dropped it in my hand. I watched as the man disappeared from sight.
"Team aqua..." I did that name sound so familiar?
"Welcome to Rustboro city!" A billboard read. Mudkip and Espeon were striding at my sides as I pulled out my pokenav.
"Okay were here, but now where is this Devon Co. place?"
The man who's wallet I had recovered had urged me to go to the Devon Corperation. Apparently there I would get some kind of "reward" for my "heroic act."
"Aww man, I suck at finding places", I complained shoving my pokenav back into my pouch.
"Hey Mudkip you found a man in need, think you could find a buliding?"
Mudkip shook it's head sorrowfully and I sighed heavily.
"Hey girlie, why do you look so down?"
"Girlie?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
An old man in a purple suit was studying me. "Did you lose a pokemon battle or something?"
Declan's face popped into my mind and soon my anger arose again. "Ah Declan!" I shrieked.
"Yikes! Didn't mean to upset you girlie! Where are you heading anyway?"
I composed myself, "I'm looking for the Devon Corporation...hey you wouldn't happen to know where it is, would you?"
"Sure I do!" The man said smiling. "You can come with me, but what's your name?"
I told him my name and his smile widened, "That's a nice name, you can call me Mr. Stone."
There was silence for a few minutes as I followed him."What another odd outfit" I thought to myself.
"The people here sure don't really know how to dress!"
I wasn't really one to talk though, wearing jean shorts, a red hoodie and beat up low top cons. My uncombed hair hung just above my bust and I knew a hole was forming in my biker gloves.
"So you must really love pokemon huh?" Mr. Stone said out of the blue.
"Well yeah, can't imagine life without them!" I beamed.
"Wahahahaha!" Mr. Stone cackled.
"What's so funny?" I asked irritably. Maybe his fashion sense wasn't the only weird thing about him...
"Nothing, it's just that you remind me an awful lot of my son Steven. How old are you dear?"
"Steven? Oh I'm fifteen."
Again with the cackling.
"Let me guess, same age as your son?"
"Nah, but close to", Mr. Stone said halting in front of a huge building. "Ah here we are!"
"Wow" I said taking in the sight. It was huge! It had many levels each with windows shining brightly in the sun. Guards lined the entrance and perimeter as well.
"Tight security much?"
Mr. Stone looked like he was about to say something when a voice rang out.
"Mr. president!" A young man ran up to us.
"Kennedy, say hello to my little friend here."
"Hello", Kennedy said sincerely.
"Hi...wait president? Mr. stone is a president?!" I asked bewildered. "Of what?"
"This man is the president of the Devon Corporation!" Kennedy remarked.
Mr. Stone smiled proudly.
"No way! Well then, I guess I should tell you that I was sent here by a man named Brent."
"Oh!" smacked himself in the head. "That's right! So you're the girl, Brent called me earlier and told me everything! That's quite brave of you to battle a villain", he then hesistated.
"Wahaha! The more and more I learn about you, the more you remind me of Steven!"
Kennedy chuckled, "Come inside! We'll show you around and give you a gift for your help."
I nodded before glancing over at Mr. Stone. The way he described him, Steven seemed like a good person to befriend.
