Welcome back to chapter 2 of Pokemon Unova Adventure, everybody! Last chapter saw Owen eventually accept Professor Oak's offer to Unova after six months (that's right, six fricking months!) of being off the grid. Fate and CJ eventually persuaded him to accept the offer, and he is now heading off to Unova to compete in his fifth league! How will his journey shape up this time around?

Owen's team (none)

"Get me off of this ship! I'm going to throw up!" Owen stared out at the ocean that he just crossed, and the at the metropolis he was now facing. There were hundreds, if not thousands of buildings towering over him. He then looked over at Fate, who was throwing up in the water, and then CJ, who was beginning to gag at the sound of Fate throwing up. Shortly after Fate's "detour" the group walked off of the boat that had taken them to the brand new land called Unova.

"Where exactly are we supposed to meet this professor?" CJ asked while the group of three fought through an oncoming crowd of business men and women.

"She's supposed to be in the Pokemon center, but we obviously don't know where that is," Owen replied angril because he was slightly flustered by the enormous city.

"Let me check my Pokedex," CJ said aloud as he tried searching for the closest Pokemon center. The results came up, and thanks to his GPS app, CJ led Owen and Fate into a tiny Pokemon center that was the bottom floor of a humongous building.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy," Owen started as he waked up to Nurse Joy, who was sitting behind the counter with her Chancey.

"May I help you?" she replied warmly.

"Yeah. I was wondering if there was a woman who stopped by here. Her name is Professor Juniper," Owen told the pink haired nurse. The lady shook her head in response, causing Owen to start tapping his foot impatiently.

"Sorry, but she hasn't stopped by here. If you'd really like to see her, her lab is in Nuvema town. It's about fifty miles away."

"Fifty miles!? Look, I just spent twenty hours on a boat with my friend who wouldn't stop throwing up. I can't walk fifty miles!" Owen yelled in agitation. Everyone in the Pokemon center turned and stared at him, causing the teen to blush in embarrassment. "Sorry. It's been a rough couple of days."

"That's fine. Good luck with finding her," Nurse Joy told Owen as he turned away from the counter. He then walked towards Fate and CJ while shaking his head.

"Oh well. I guess we'll just have to look somewhere else," CJ said aloud. Ironically, a woman in a labcoat came dashing into the Pokemon center with a tired look on her face. She appeared to be in her mid to late twenties, and she wore a green vest over her opened lab coat along with a pair of shorts and running shoes. She had swirly brown hair, and her skin was tan.

"Oh no! Where is he? Am I late? Oh Professor Oak is going to kill me!" she shrieked quickly while frantically looking about the Pokemon center.

"Excuse me, but are you Professor Juniper?" Fate asked as the woman ran past her, Owen, and CJ.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"I'm Fate Candice Flores. My friend, Owen Plateau was supposed to meet you here," Fate answered maturely.

"Owen Plateau!? Is that him? Oh it's so nice to meet you! I'm Professor Juniper, and it's so nice to finally meet you!" she squeezed.

"Umm… my name is Cody Johnson," CJ told the young woman while she was furiously shaking his hand. Professor Juniper then stopped and gave CJ a confused look. "That's Owen." CJ then pointed at Owen, who stuck his hand out towards the young professor, and she began to shake his hand quickly.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you! I watched you compete in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh! You were so amazing during those leagues that I knew I had to invite you over here to compete," Professor Juniper said to the teen.

"Well thanks. Sorry to be rude, but why exactly did we have to meet you here?" Owen asked politely.

"Well, I had to run a quick errand in this city, Castelia city, so I figured that I'd meet you while I was here. So tell me, Owen. Do you have a Pokemon with you?"

"No ma'am," Owen responded. This caused Prfoessor Juniper's eyes to light up with excitement, and she pulled a glass case out of the purse that was strapped around her arm.

"Well, today is your lucky day! I just so happen to have three brand new starting Pokemon with me, so you can have one, and so can you two," Professor Juniper said while looking over at Fate and CJ. "I have plenty more at the lab, so don't hesitate to pick!"

With that, Professor Juniper opened up the case and released the three Pokemon from their Pokeballs, causing several trainers to rise from their seats and walk over.

The first Pokemon was a small grass snake who looked up at the group nervously. Just as Owen went to pet it, the snake ran away and hid behind Professor Juniper's leg. "This is Snivy, the grass type. Snivy is a little timid, but she's also very sweet and caring."

"That looks like a pretty interesting starter for you, Owen," CJ told his friend. Owen nodded in agreement, and waited for the next starter.

As if on cue, Professor Juniper threw the next Pokeball, which contained a small red and orange pig. "This is Tepig, the fire type. Tepig is a very outgoing Pokemon. She loves running around, but also has a knack for getting into fights." Owen looked at the fire type, and the Pokemon happily wagged her tail while rubbing up against Owen's leg.

"Aww! She's so cute! I just have to have her!" Fate shrieked before picking Tepig up and squeezing her tight.

"And this is Oshawott, the water type. Oshawott is pretty lazy, and he's incredibly carefree," Professor Juniper told Owen while a white headed and blue bodied otter appeared. The Oshawott yawned while looking up at Owen, and then he began scratching his butt, causing Owen to laugh.

"Hmm… this is a tough decision. Guys, why don't you pick first," Owen gestured while making eye contact with the Tepig, who began to wag her tail happily.

"Ladies first," CJ told Fate as she turned to him. Great fully, she bows and walked over to the tyree starters. She looked at Snivy, who was still hiding behind Professor Juniper's leg, and then at Oshawott, who was laying on his back while snoring peacefully. She then glanced at Tepig, who was still looking at Owen.

"I think I'll choose Tepig!" Fate exclaimed, causing the fire type to look at Fate in shock. The teenage girl bent down and was face to face with her brand new Pokemon. She then extended her hand and smiled. "Hi, Tepig. I'm Fate, your new trainer!"

"Te-Pig!" Tepig cried while slamming her head into Fate's face which knocked her over instantly, causing everyone to laugh.

"I'll take Oshawott, if you don't mind, Owen," CJ said while slowly stepping towards the sleeping Pokemon. Owen shook his head, and CJ picked Oshawott up carefully, and the water type remained sleeping.

"I guess that means that we're partners, Snivy," Owen said to the hiding grass snake. Snivy slowly stepped forward with a timid look in her eyes. She then looked around at the trainers that seemed to e circling around her, and she began to panic.

"Snivy!" the grass type cried before darting out of the Pokemon center.

"Wait, Snivy! Come back!" Owen shouted before taking off after the small Pokemon. Fate and CJ followed after with their new Pokemon while Professor Juniper stood still in the Pokemon center.

"Boy, they sure are disorganized," she said while laughing before dropping her purse in the ground, causing all of the items to fall out. "I guess not."

After a few minutes of running down several streets, the group had lost Snivy thanks to the massive crowds of people.

"Venom, Puff, take off to the skies and try to find Snivy! Hez, Eevee, come on out and help me and Tepig!" Fate shouted while throwing out four Pokeballs. All four Pokemon appeared and obeyed their orders, somehow hearing them through their Pokeballs.

"Leaf, Oshawott, it's just you two and me. Let's go!" CJ yelled as he tried taking off. Leaf followed him, but Oshawott simply sat down and yawned. CJ then picked up the lazy Pokemon and looked at Owen.

"I think we should split up. That way, we'll find Snivy faster," Owen opined. His two friends nodded in agreement before taking off in different directions. "So if I were Snivy, where would I be hiding?" Owen asked himself while trying to remember the grass type's personality.

She seemed really timid, and it was almost like she was scared of him. There were millions of people bustling through the main streets, so there was no way she would be there. Owen ran by an alleyway, and then he stopped. He turned and looked at the empty, and rather small space where there want a soul.

"That's it! She has to be in an alleyway. But which one? There have to be thousands!" Owen shouted, causing a few stray Pokemon to run away from the loud sound. "Don't worry, Snivy. We'll find you soon."

•••

"Oshawott, come on! Snivy is missing and we need to find her!" CJ ordered angrily. Oshawott had jumped out of CJ's hands earlier, and he simply laid down in the middle of the street.

"Osha," the water type responded calmly.

"Leaf, pick him up with Vine Whip and lets go," CJ muttered while losing his patience. His trusty Bulbasaur quickly snatched Oshawott with his vines, and the otter Pokemon was lifted in the air while Leaf and CJ began to walk down the street.

"Osha! Wott-Wott!" Oshawott hissed angrily while glaring at Leaf.

"Hey look, there's Puff and Venom!" CJ exclaimed as he saw the two flying Pokemon circling a certain area of the city. "Let's go, guys!"

•••

"Tepig-Tep!" Tepig barked at Fate angrily as the two females and Hez sped down the crammed streets.

"I didn't know that! All I knew is that you were the best fit for me as a trainer and I thought we'd have a strong bond!" Fate yelled back at the fire pig. Tepig turned her head angrily while somehow managing to avoid several people running down the street to get to work.

"Swam-Swampert," Hez told his trainer.

"You're right, Hez. We need to focus on finding Snivy right now. Tepig, please just help us find Snivy and then I'll let you go to Owen," Fate begged. The fire type beamed at the proposal, and she sprinted alongside Fate and Hez.

•••

"Snivy, please come out! I'm not going to hurt you!" Owen screamed into an alleyway. He then looked up to hear Puff and Venom screeching for attention, and he ran towards where they were circling. After a solid minute sprint, Owen was in another alleyway, which was literally right underneath Fate's two Pokemon.

"Jiggly!" Puff shouted to Owen as she looked down and spotted the familiar face.

"What is it, Puff?" Owen asked loudly. The normal type pointed towards a large building, and Owen looked to see none other than Snivy standing on the edge. "How the hell did Snivy get up there!?" Owen screamed.

He looked at the grass snake and saw that she was looking down towards the ground in terror. At first, Owen thought she was going to jump, but then he realized that Snivy was actually stuck on the ledge.

"Snivy, hold on, I'll catch you!" he shouted while running towards the Pokemon. Suddenly, Snivy slipped and began to fall towards the ground. Owen sprinted towards the area he thought Snivy would possibly hit, and then he dove. He landed on the ground, but didn't feel anything hit against his arms. He then looked around and saw a strange Pokemon holding Snivy in its arms.

It was slightly brown with a bit of red and yellow on its body. The Pokemon looked incredibly skinny and appeared to be malnourished. It then walked over to Owen with a nervous look on its face and handed Snivy Owen to the teen.

"Th-Thanks," Owen said to the Pokemon. As he reached out to take Snivy, the brown Pokemon flinched. Owen stepped back nervously, but the Pokemon seemed to be calmed by Owen's presence, happily handing over the grass type starter. With that, the strange looking Pokemon climbed up the building wall and disappeared.

"Alright, Snivy. I think it's time we start our adventure!"

There you have it. Chapter 2 is in the books, and Owen will be starting with Snivy! It seems like the group is going to have a decent amount of problems with their starters (unless Fate gives Owen Tepig), so that should make for an interesting obstacle to overcome. Anyways, thanks for reading! Till next time, peace out.

1) Who was the strange Pokemon that saved Snivy?

2) Who do you think is the most interesting of these three starters?

3) Who's going to have the toughest challenge with their starter?
