Chapter 5: Silver's Journey So Far…
(A/N As can be guessed by the name of this chapter, this will be from Silver's point of view. It will start after he beat Crystal…)
Hmph! I thought,I can't believe my first battle had to be wasted on that wimp!
The name's Silver Soul, I'm a Pokémon Trainer. Why you care, I don't know. Follow me if you like, but I don't give autographs. Hmph. Speaking of following…
I looked over towards a patch of grass, where I could have sworn I saw a person.
"Who's there?" I asked, "I know you're there."
When no one came out of the grass, I turned and kept walking. Now, don't get me wrong. I still knew that someone was following me. I just thought I'd let them think I hadn't really noticed them. That was my first mistake. My second was stopping when I heard a twig snap. That's when my stalker decided to come out. My third mistake was looking at said stalker. A steadily flowing trickle of blood flowed from my nose after I did. She was…beautiful, to say the least. Nothing about her truly aroused me, but girls that don't try to be pretty and actually are…I don't know; stop trying to understand me…
"Why were you following me?" I asked, wiping the blood from my nose, "who are you?"
"Um…uh…" the girl stuttered, blushing, "I…I…uh…"
The girl had blue eyes and black hair, had on a green dress with blue jeans underneath, yellow sneakers, and she had a small scar on her right shoulder.
"Hmph…" I grunted, "I've been a trainer for less than an hour and I already have fan girls…look, I don't give autographs, so don't bother asking."
"No, not that…" She said, her face practically on fire, "I…I'd…like to travel with you!"
That caught me off guard.
"T-Travel with me?" I said, "hmmm…let me think on it…"
"I'll…I'll do anything!" the girl said, "please!"
"Anything? Well, aren't we desperate," I said, "hmmm…I suppose, if you'll answer the second question I asked you."
"Oh! Right…I completely forgot…ahem! My name is Y!" the girl introduced herself, holding out her hand.
"My name's Silver," I said, shaking her hand, "and you have very soft skin."
(A/N LOL, Silver's smooth! :D)
Y blushed again, "th-thank you…"
"You're welcome," I said, "we go by my pace unless you're hungry or need to…yeah."
"*blush* R-Right!" Y said, then thought, he's kind, I can tell. Just a little rough around the edges…
5 min. later…
"So…" Y said, breaking a very uncomfortable silence, "how many Pokémon do you have?"
"One," I replied, "my Totodile."
"I've only got one, too," Y said, "she is a Charmander."
"So were both rookies then, huh?" I said, "hmph…"
We kept walking for an hour or two until we reached Cherrygrove City. There, I was confronted by a guy who said his name was Gold.
"A quick one-on-one battle?" he said as he took out a Pokéball, "I need to train for the first gym."
"Sure, why not," I said as I took out Totodile's Pokéball, "bring it!"
"Go, Chikorita!"
"Take him down, Totodile!"
*Pokéball SFX* "Chiko!""Toto!"
Crap, I thought, type disadvantage…
"Chikorita, Razor Leaf!"
"Totodile, Water Gun!"
The water from Totodile's attack stopped the leaves and barely missed Chikorita.
"Well, that was close!" Gold said, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow, "I can tell this'll be fun! Vine Whip!"
"Totodile, use Rage!" I yelled.
"Chiko!" two vines came out of Chikorita's neck, heading straight for Totodile.
"Totodile!"Totodile exclaimed, glowing red for a second, then getting hit by the attack.
I grinned, knowing I had given Totodile a Sitrus Berry to use if his health got low, meaning he just got a free powerup, but I needed to grow some more Sitrus Berries…
"Now, Totodile, use Ice Punch!" I yelled, pointing at Chikorita, "finish him off!"
I see…he had an Ace up his sleeve! Gold thought, Rage, heal, then use a Super-Effective Physical technique! Genius!
"Toto…" Totofile brought his arm back, glowing red and white at the same time, "dile!"
Totodile hit Chikorita dead on, knocking it out COLD…bad pun…
"Wow…" Gold said after healing his Chikorita, "that was a quick battle, but something tells me it'll be the most memorable one I'll have."
"Yeah," I said, "when I become Champion, you can brag that you were the second person I battled."
"But if I become Champion," Gold started, "then you can brag that you battled me first."
The two of them look like they're getting along… Y thought, grinning, I wonder how Gold would feel if he knew how he got that Totodile…
"By the way, Silver," Gold said, "how about the two of us be kind of rivals?"
"Sure, why not!" I said as me and Y walked off, then I stopped and looked back, "hey…how did you know my name?"
"Lucky guess?" Gold shrugged his shoulders.
Me and Y started walking further and I started to hear a growling sound. I stopped and looked around for it, then heard it again. I turned to where it was coming from…and saw Y holding her stomach.
"Um…are you hungry?" I asked, "we could stop and get a bite to eat…"
Y looked up and said, "no, I think this is a problem of too much food…"
I sweatdropped, "oh…well then, we should probably go to the Pokémon Center."
6 min. later…
I was standing outside, waiting for Y to be finished, when I saw a girl with a Cyndaquil rush past me yelling, "Nurse Joy!"
She looked familiar for some reason… I thought as a male with a purple shirt went inside as well.
25 min. later…
"Sorry I took so long!" Y said, "I had to…"
"I don't wanna know," I said.
"Right…sorry…" Y said, blushing, "sooo…where are we going now?"
"The next town," I said, "I want to train at Sprout Tower."
"Why there?" Y said, "we could travel those new routes made in the wilderness of Johto. Those paths are a lot better for strength, and they have Gym Leaders too!"
"Really?" I asked.
"Would I lie about something like that?" Y asked.
"Probably not…" I replied, "but I'd need a new map. This one only has the main routes and towns."
"No problem!" Y said, "I've practically memorized the whole Johto region!"
"Okay then," I said, "lead the way."
We walked on for a few hours until the sun began to set.
"We should probably make camp," I said.
"Good idea," Y agreed, setting down her stuff and pulling out a sleeping bag.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling in the grass.
"Looks like I'm gonna get my second Pokémon," I said, "as soon as you get off of me."
When she heard the rustling grass, Y had decided the safest place would be clamped on my back, arms restricting my movement.
"Sorry…" Y said, letting go of me.
A Zubat then flew out of the grass.
"Totodile, go!" I yelled.
*Pokéball SFX* "Toto!"
A Zubat, huh? I thought, hmmm…let's see…if I remember correctly, it's a Bat Pokémon that while flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check it's surroundings.
(A/N wow…the only thing keeping this guy from being a Gary Stu is the fact he has no legendary…)
"Totodile, Water Gun!" I said.
"Toto…dile!" Totodile exclaimed, spitting out a stream of water at the Zubat.
"Zubat!" the Zubat quickly dodged the attack, and its teeth began to glow.
Leech Life… I thought, but in order for that to work properly…
Zubat flew towards Totodile, preparing to clamp down and drain his health.
"Totodile, use Scratch!" I said.
"Totodile!" Totodile yelled, extending his claws and slashing Zubat.
"Zu!" the Zubat had not expected Totodile's attack, causing it to become a Critical Hit, "bat…"
"Pokéball, go!" I yelled, seizing my chance.
The Pokéball hit Zubat, turning it into a red light. The Pokéball shook a bit, then stopped and the white circle in the middle glowed red for a moment.
"Hmph…" I said as I picked up Zubat's Pokéball, "you're mine."
"Great work, Silver!" Y said, clapping.
"I didn't do anything much," I said, blushing slightly.
3 hours later…
"Hey Silver, you awake?" Y asked.
"I am now…" I said groggily, still half-asleep.
"Thank you for letting me travel with you," she said, her face so red I could see it in the dark.
"You're welcome…" I said, "now, go to sleep…"
I pretended to go back to sleep, and then felt someone lay down next to me.
"Night, Silver," Y whispered.
"Good night, Y," I replied.
I could see her face glowing with my eyes closed.
CHAPTER 5 END
Hydraslayer123: Yeah, yeah, I made it lovey-dovey. At least I didn't make them kiss…or worse…
Y: *blushing fiercely*
Silver: S-Say what?
Hydraslayer123: I'm just kidding! I can't do the or worse, due to rating.
Y: Phew…
Silver: I hope that's not the only reason, cause he can change the rating anytime he wants…
Y: EEEP!
Hydraslayer123: To my very few fans (I know you exist, even if you won't review. I can see the number of views I get, people!), I have a request. Please submit OC Gym Leaders. Give me their looks, personality, Pokémon type, etc. I need at least seven. Any given in a review will be disregarded unless you don't have an account. If I am told what Pokémon they have, I will freely change them if required for where the gym is. For example: I am given a character with a Blastoise. I decide to make him/her the 3rd Gym Leader faced by Crystal. I will not hesitate to change said Blastoise into a Wartortle, and later, make them the 6th faced by Silver. Wartortle will have evolved. See?
Z: Why do you only require seven?
Hydraslayer123: I've already made an 8th Gym Leader.
Crystal: Who is it? What type do they use?
Hydraslayer123: you'll find out when you get there.
Hydraslayer123: if anyone is wondering why Silver is kind of OOC when he is near why is because he has a crush on her. And it's my story, so you can't tell me what to do with it, especially since it breaks no rules of the site.
