Alright. Now, I already have ideas for the gym leaders, so I don't need that, so let's see... Ah! I have thought out four of Link's standard six, and need two more. Requests or suggestions are ALWAYS welcome to me, ALWAYS. But no, Link won't only catch six Pokemon, he will catch far more than that. And I will say a few things regarding the region. Though refered to as Sinnoh, it only has the layout of the actual Sinnoh. Towns, gymleaders, type specialties, crime syndicates, elite four, and what Pokemon are found are all different. Every Pokemon can be found here, though not all will be. And I would like to add that I will be giving some Pokemon Mega Evolutions that otherwise wouldn't. Alright, I've held you guys for long enough, chapter two! Oh, and there is a song here that doesn't belong to me.
Chapter 2
Beginning of the Journey
"Mom, that was delicious, as always," I said after finishing my breakfast. Three eggs, a biscut, and some bacon is always good.
"Great dear, glad you liked it. Link... I have something for you."
With an eyebrow raised, I watched as she walked out of the dining room. What cold she possibly be grabbing? She came back with a small box with my birthmark on the box.
"Mom, what's this?"
"It was your mother's before she died. When I picked you up at the orphanage, they gave me this at the front desk. I decided I wouldn't give it to you until I felt you were ready. And well, you're ready."
She set the box down in front of me, and I opened it. Inside was a beautiful blue Ocarina with my birthmark on a grey band of metal around the mouthpiece.
"Whoa... This is awesome..."
Volvagia, who was next to me eating his own plate of eggs and bacon, looked up to me and saw the instrument. He climbed onto the table despite my Mom's protests to see it.
"I wonder if it's like the one I play in band..."
Yes, I play an Ocarina. I was just about the only guy who didn't tackle the chance to play saxophone or percusion or anything that would make sense for a guy. Plus, I learned how to play the Harp. Surprisingly, I was first chair in both. Just some innate ability to play it, I guess.
I raised the Ocarina to my lips and played a song that I had learned how to play with the help of my band director, the Song of Storms. To my surprise, Volvagia didn't seem to like it.
"Oh, I see. Fire type, water-themed song. Don't worry, Volvagia, I know a fire-themed song."
Raising the instrumet back to my lips, I played another song, the Bolero of Fire. As I thought, Volvagia much prefered this one. It figures that Pokemon can even relate to music based in specific areas, fire types liking more agressive music more. Good to know.
"I knew you'd like it. And here, I got you some money to start off your journey. 200 dollars."
Surprised, I took the large amount of money from her, and noticed tears in her eyes.
"My little boy's all grown up... I'll miss you, Link."
"Aw, Mom, you're gonna make me cry, too. I'll be back soon. I'll be sure to call and send pictures regularly, okay?"
"Just remember, okay?"
"I will."
And with that, I gave her a hug and left the house, taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air. As I turned to the store to buy a map and some Pokeballs, I saw Groose, angry as always, Cawlin, and a depressed Strich.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked, pointing to Stritch.
"Oh, you know just the fact that you left all THREE of us with only TWO Pokemon, ya dweeb. Now, I want payback. I want a battle!"
I was surprised at first, but why is beyond me. Of course he challenged me. But I wonder which one he chose.
"Alright, fine."
I walked away to get some distance, and Strich stepped off to the side a bit to act as the ref.
"Uh, I'll ref."
"Alright, go! Volvagia!"
Volvagia burst from his Pokeball and snorted smoke as he landed.
"Hehe. Too bad for you. Go, Squirtle!"
Water type!
Squirtle landed right in fron of Volvagia, crossing his arms and smiling arrogantly. Well, Groose chose a good match for him, I guess.
"Begin!"
"Squirtle, use tackle!"
Squirtle ran in, ready to strike, but that wasn't the plan.
"Dodge it!"
Volvagia rolled out of harm's way at the last moment, then turn right back to Squirtle, who was now off-balance after his failed attack.
"Scratch!"
As Squirtle tried to get up, Volcagia hit him with a solid scratch.
"Ha! Hit it wth another!"
Squirtle recioled into his shell as Volvagia assaulted it with scratches.
"Get out of your shell and fight, Squirtle!"
Right as Volvagia was rearing back for another scratch, Squirtle shot his tail out and sweeped his legs out from under him. Volvagia fell pretty hard, coming face-to face with Squirtle.
"Don't hit the shell, hit Squirtle!"
Volvagia quickly reached his hand in and scratched Squirtle in the face, forcing him out of his shell due to the pain.
"Finish it, Volvagia!"
And with one final scratch, Volvagia rendered Squirtle unconcious.
"Uh, Squirtle can't fight anymore, uh, Link wins."
"Yes, First win!"
"Squirtle, come on! You had a type advantage, too! You shoulda wiped the floor with his wimpy Charmander!"
"Sorry, Groose, but you'd need a super effective move to have that advantage," stated Strich.
"Shut up, Strich, or I won't catch you a bug type."
I sighed and walked away, but Groose stopped me.
"You just got lucky, Link, lucky! Next time, I'll be way stronger, and I'll make you beg for mercy!"
"Looking forward to it, Groose."
I heard him growl, but I didn't care. I had a journey to get started. I walked into the store and walked around, trying to find what I needed. I found the map for only ten dollars, and ten Pokeballs, only five each. I grabbed them and walked to the register. As usual, Beedle was there.
"Ah, if it isn't Link! How are you doing today?"
"I'm here to get Pokeballs and a map."
"You finally got your Pokemon, eh?"
"Yep."
"Alright, this will be sixty dollars."
I pulled out three twenties and layed them on the counter, and Beedle whistled.
"Lot of money there, buddy. Finally ready?"
"Uh-huh. After this, I'm heading out."
"Just remember, Outset'll miss you."
"Hey, any suggestions on where to go first?"
He placed his hand on his chin in thought. "Hrm, I'd say Ordon Village is your best bet. Normal type gym. The leader's name is Cremia. Hear she's pretty tough, has a Miltank and a Taurus. Unless I'm staken, she's Malon's cousin."
"Malon's cousin, huh? I'll give her a call later to ask how she battles, get an advantage."
"Hehe, alright, Link, see you around. And if you run into one of my Pokemart cousins, give them a hello from Outset Town!"
"I will!"
Leaving the store, I got my Phone out of my pocket and dialed Malon's number. I held the phone up to my ear waiting for her to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Malon, it's Link."
"Link?! You're awake earlier than noon?! Outstanding! Anyway, how have you been, sweetie?"
"Sweetie? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, nothing, heehee! So what do you need, Green?"
"You know your cousin Cremia? Well, I need to know how she looks at a Pokemon battle."
"Pokemon ba-? NO, YOU DIDN'T."
"Yep."
"YOU GOT YOUR VERY FIRST POKEMON! CONGRATULATIONS!"
"Hehe. Yeah, I'm headed to Ordon to challenge Cremia. That's why I was asking how she battles."
"Sorry, but I don't really know. I guess you'll have to find out then, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess so. But before I get there, I'll drop by and say hi."
"Aw, you always were a great guy. That must be why some of my friends want to ask you out!"
"What?! Who?!"
"Heehee, not telling! Alright, talk to you later, Link!"
"See you at Ordon, Malon."
Hanging up, I ended the phone call. Malon was 14, a year younger than me. But for her age, she was surprisingly mature. She's also GREAT with animals. I guess it comes with living on a farm. Remebering that my phone was also an Ipod, I grabbed my headphones and started playing a song, Immortals by Fall Out Boy. It's a great song, one of my favorites.
They say we are what we are,
But we don't have to be
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher, watcher, of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
Oooooooooooh...
I'm the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass, glass
Oooooooooooh...
I'll try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be Immortals, I-I-I-I-I-Immortals
Just not for long, for long
And if we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Mmo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Sometimes the only payoff
For having any faith
Is when it's tested again and again, everyday
I'm still comparing your past to my future,
It might be your wound, but they're my sutures
Oooooooooooh...
I'm the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass, glass
Oooooooooooh...
I'll try to picture me without you but I can't
'Cause we could be Immortals, I-I-I-I-Immortals
Just not for long, for long
And if we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immortals
And if we meet forever now,
Pull the blackout curtains down
We could be Immortals, I-I-I-I-I-Immortals
Just not for long, for long
We could be Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Mmo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immo-o-o-o-o-o-o-or, Immortals
Immortals
Ah, that's always been a nice song.
*Rustle*
"Wha?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something shoot throught the bushes to my left, and I quickly turned with Volvagia's ball in hand.
"Who's there?"
I scanned my surroundings, trying to find what caused it. Seeing nothing, I turned back down the path I had chosen, though I still clutched Volvagia's ball. I heard mre rustling, but this time I saw what it was.
It was a Pokemon that looked like a sword, so I got out my Pokedex to check it out.
"Honedge, huh? But wait..."
This Honedge was completely different from the one in the dex. The dex one had a golden handle and scabbard, though this one had a sky blue handle with a blue scabbard with sky blue markings to match. The cloth coming from the pommel was blue with sky blue fingers, and even had markings on its blade. (1)
"Honedge."
"You don't look like the standard one, or even the shiny. So that brings up the question."
"What are you?"
CLIFFHANGERS! (1) Goddess Sword Honedge. Saw it online one day and thought, "You know what? I can use this for something." AND THEN I WROTE THIS CHAPTER. Until next time, which will involve a battle, OniHelix out!
