Next chapter.
Also please note I changed up the backgrounds of some of the characters in order to better fit the story I had in mind so be ready for that.
I own nothing.
Chapter 2 Pokemon Thieves.
The day before Ash arrived in Xenos...
A boy named Red was sulking in his house. Earlier that day he had tried to catch a powerful Pokemon that another boy with a Charmander had tried to catch. Red fought hard with his Poliwhirl but he failed to catch the Pokemon.
The boy's words rang in his head. "Know your limitations or you'll only beat yourself."
"I heard that tomorrow is the day when Professor Palm gives out starter Pokemon to trainers...maybe He'll let me get one."said Red to himself.
Gold was excited. He was finally going on his journey. His mom had always told him he had to wait til he was 16 to go on a journey and tomorrow was his 16 birthday. He was busy playing billiards with some of the Pokemon his parents kept around the house and listing to the radio.
"So Gold what Pokemon do you plan to take with you?"asked his mom.
"Well I definitely plan to get a fire type Pokemon and I think I'll take Aibo with me."said Gold and his Aipom climbed on Golds shoulder in approval.
The radio began to make static noises.
"GRRRRRR. Not during my favorite song."said Gold and he took his Aipom Abio outside to see what the problem was.
A Murkrow was messing around with the cables.
"Hey get down from there!"said Gold. The Murkrow just stuck out his tongue.
"Oh so that's how it's gonna be."said Gold "Ready Aibo?"
Aibo got into position. "All right Aibo use Swift!"said Gold.
Aibo did so and hit the Murkrow. The Murkrow angered used Fient Attack. "So that's how it's gonna be? All right Aibo try Return!"said Gold.
Aibo used Return and the Murkrow used Wing Attack. "Time to finish it off. Aibo use Fury Swipes!"said Gold.
Aibo used Fury Swipes and that left the Murkrow weak enough to capture.
"Time to add a new addition to the family!"said Gold and shot a Pokeball at it using a billiard cue and caught the Murkrow. "Sweet!"said Gold.
After handing the Murkrow to his mother Gold decided it was time for sleep he could hardly wait for tomorrow.
The next day
Crystal was in a hurry. It was early in the morning and four trainers were coming over to get their starter Pokemon from her boss Professor Palm. Yesterday she had caught all of the starter Pokemon from Unova, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto and Kanto for the two trainers. The only starters that weren't available were Charmander and Torchic as the Professor had given the Torchic to his daughter and the Charmander to his Nephew.
"Crystal are the starters ready?"asked Palm.
"Yes they are sir. They're all in the bag."she said.
The doorbell rang. When Crystal went to open it no one was there.
"Who is it Crystal?"asked the Professor.
"No one sir."said Crystal who turned around but little did she know while her back was turned two figures snuck into the house.
Crystal closed the door and the doorbell rang again. Crystal opened it expecting to see nothing but instead a boy soaking wet was there.
"Po..Po..Pokemon."he stammered.
"EEEEEE!"screamed Crystal and she punched the boy.
"OUCH! What was that for? I just came to get a starter Pokemon."said the boy.
"Well you can't have one we have four scheduled people to come and pick up their starter."said Crystal.
"...I am one of those people. I'm Black."said the boy.
"Oh right one of those kids was named Black...well in that case come in...Wait...did you camp out here ALL NIGHT...IN THE RAIN!?"asked Crystal.
"Yes I wanted to be here as soon as possible."said Black.
After Black got dried off he went into the place where the bag with the starters was being kept.
"Oh boy I've waited for this moment for 9 years!"said Black.
"Well take your pick."said the Professor. Black looked in the Bag.
"So many to choose from...I'm getting the chills..."said Black.
"That's the spirit."said the Professor.
"...Wait...that isn't the chills...I think I caught a...a...ACHOOO!"Black sneezed and accidentally hit a switch...that released some of the Pokemon in the lab!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"Yelled Black, Crystal and Professor Palm in fright. Confusion ensued and a Hoothoot hit Black on the head knocking him out and then the Hoothoot flew out the window. Professor Palm grabbed a few Pokeballs and chased after some of the Pokemon. "That's our cue."said a voice.
Gold was packing up his things in a backpack when he noticed that a Hoothoot was sitting on his fence.
"That looks like the Professors Hoothoot." he muttered.
Red was in a similar position when he saw the professors Meowth on his way to the lab.
"Something doesn't seem right..."Red thought to himself.
When Black recovered he was welcomed by an angry Crystal staring at him.
"YOU IDIOT! You just released most of the Pokemon in the lab!"she yelled.
"Hey it was an...HEY BEHIND YOU!"he yelled Crystal turned around and saw a boy with red hair and a girl with brown hair stealing some starter Pokemon from the bag.
"STOP!"Yelled Crystal.
"Didn't say please."said the girl in a sing song voice and the two bolted and when they did they knocked the bag over and released Tepig and Bulbasaur.
"You help the professor gather up the Pokemon I'll deal with those two."said Crystal who grabbed the bag and took chase.
"Yes mam!"said Black and he chased after the Tepig and Bulbasaur.
The door to the lab opened.
"Hey professor I'm here for my-" Gold was interrupted when the two thieves and Crystal bumped into him.
"OWWWW."said Gold. The two thieves recovered and ran.
"Hey kid you think you could help me?"asked Crystal.
"...Uh...Sure what for?"asked Gold.
"Those thieves stole some Pokemon you think you could chase them down?"asked Crystal.
"Yes mam!"said Gold and he picked up a bag and ran. Crystal picked up a bag...and then noticed that it wasn't the bag with the starter Pokemon in it instead it was Gold's backpack.
"Oh no...the professors gonna kill me when this is all over."she muttered.
Yes I know that the scene with Gold and the Murkrow was pointless I just needed something to establish Gold's character(Besides that was his introduction in the manga so I figured I'd put it in there) and his scene with the Hoothoot was just to establish that he had a backpack with him and that's all I could think of. And yes I know the Red and Gold scenes were lazy originally those two were supposed to show up out of nowhere but since I plan for Red and Gold to be major characters I felt I couldn't have them show up out of nowhere so please forgive me for that. I promise this story will get better(But expect a lot of contrivances ^^; )
Also if you have ANY ideas for how the story could improve and how to make this chapter better PLEASE tell me(Just don't be harsh)
Next time we'll see the result of Gold's chase to get the thieves and maybe see Ash and Ruby again.
