03/17/2005 - 23:32 - Route 101

As Claus and Chances rest for the adventure that is soon to come, someone was walking, using the moon's light, on the Route 101 in direction to Littleroot Town.

Her name is Sam Kay. She is a tan young girl, 5'6" as she was still shorter than most people. Has black hair and brown eyes and loves to wear all kinds of clothes. She always wear a small pendant around her neck to always symbolize the relationship of the whole family. She also wears a sun hat since she was slightly sensitive to the hot sun, she even wear it while it still is night.

She was very tired since it already was late night. She could hear a lot of Pokemon snoring on her way to the the little town, most of them were zigzagoons. She still needed to get in the town before something bad happen to her, like a still awake poochyena decide to attack her.

Her fears came true when she was half mile away from the town.

A, apparently, 13 year old poochyena jumped out of a bush. His gray clothes were dirty as well as his gray hair, black boots and tan skin. His eyes' colors were red with yellow pupils.

Sam started to back away from it, but at the same time that she was doing it the poochyena was approaching her. It didn't took long for her back touch a tree and turn her unable to get anymore far from him.

Her breath started to get heavy, everything seemed to get slow, she closed her eyes and waited for him to attack.

"Attacking a human child that doesn't even have a Pokemon? What a coward." A boy's voice came from the tree were she was pinned on.

She looked up, but the moon light wasn't enough to make she see who was talking to the poochyena. The bite Pokemon started to bark to the boy in the tree, a thing that wild Pokemon and caught Pokemon have different is that wild Pokemon, with exception of few cases, are unable to speak any human language, it is the pokeball who make them be able to speak a language that humans might understand.

"Are you really telling me that you can attack her just because she passed through your territory? Wow, you really have problems." The boy said again and jumped out from the tree. "I know that I were supposed to help the professor, but see someone like you trying to have an innocent child as a meal, makes me sick." The green haired boy said and turned to the girl. "Could you help me? I, kinda of, don't know what to do during a fight without someone telling me what to do. Can you be my temporary trainer?" The treecko asked to her.

She didn't know how all these events happened so fast, but she was going to Littleroot, because she wanted a Pokemon from the professor, so her objective could be accomplished. The odd situation was her perfect to put all her analytical abilities in action. With a simple nod and a determined look she took a step forward.

"Great." The green haired said. "My moves are Pound and Leer." Sam nodded and took a closer look on the two Pokemon. She heard that the Pokemon that the professor give always are level 5 and, since treeckos' and their evolutions are rare, she could say that the Pokemon on her side is level 5. The posture that the wild Pokemon was taking was showing that it might be level 2 or maybe 3. This might be an easy fight.

"Start using Pound!" She said.

"As you say, little girl." Treecko replied and his right hand got a little white glow. He charged at the wolf and do a single punch on his face before back away. Angered, the poochyena tried to Tackle the treecko, but he was too fast to simply be hit by it.

"That was good. Use Pound again!" Sam said and the gecko did as told. "That is it."

"I told you that I were strong. Wait I didn't, but yeah I-" He was interrupted when the wolf used a critical Tackle on his back. The grass under the Treecko start to grow a bit taller.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked worried.

"Yes, I still were with full HP, but that *M rate* attack still hurt just like *M rate*. Wait, I still near a kid. Forget what I just said."

"... Alright. Finish the battle with one last Pound" Treecko did just as said and hit the poochyena right on his torso, making the bite Pokemon fall on the ground unconscious. "You did it!" Sam cheered.

"Too easy." Treecko said. He turned to the human and said. "You should be more care-" Sam interrupted him using a hug. "Why are you-" He couldn't finish again because, this time, he noticed that she was crying. Of course she was crying, she almost died. "No need to worry, I am here and the bad Pokemon is gone."

"Treecko where are- There you are... With a girl?" Birch said when he found them in the woods. "Could you tell me what happened, in the lab?" Treecko nodded and started to walk to it, while the girl was holding his arm.

"And that is why I got separated from you." Treecko finished. It took a while for him to finish the story, enough to make Sam nap above some boxes. "I figured that you could protect yourself since you still have Mudkip's pokeball, so I leaved."

"I see. So, hum, girl. Why did you- Is she sleeping?"

"I think she is." Treecko replied and started to, gently, shake her shoulder until she woke up.

"It really is late for kids to stay awake." The professor commented. "So, why did you came all this way without stopping to rest?"

"I... Uhm... I wanted to receive a Pokemon from you, sir." She said determined, yet sleepy.

"Unfortunately, I only have two Pokemon left with me and in order to handle one of them, the gifted trainer need to accept a special quest."

"Special quest?"

"You really were listening? I thought that you have fallen asleep again. Well... the ones who I handle these Pokemon must collect data of each species of Pokemon that exist in Hoenn. It look like a hard request, but that is the reason why I am handling these rare breed Pokemon." Birch said and Sam started to think for some seconds.

"If take this request is the only way for me to get a Pokemon, then I will accept it." She said.

"Wait you really will do it!?" Treecko asked surprised. "I know that you want so much have a Pokemon, enough to make you travel during late night. But did you really thought about how hard it would be?"

"Yes, I did, but I already wanted to see every part of Hoenn. I want to make sure that my dream would be wasted." She then turned to Birch and asked. "You said that your two Pokemon were the ones for the trainers to get, right?" He silently nodded. "I think that I already know who I will choose."

Treecko smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Let me guess. Your choice has green hair, yellow pupils and is a gecko?"

"How did you guessed?" Sam asked playful.

"It isn't the first time that a mudkip is chosen over me."

"It was a joke. Anyway, what will be my nickname, little trainer?"

"Let me see... What about Mint?" Sam asked.

"Mint... I liked it and is way better than Chances."

"Chances?"

"I will tell it to you later."

"Okay. So Mint is your Pokemon now. Now all that I need is you to show me your Trainer ID." Birch said.

"Actually... I still don't have one." Sam said. "Will it hurt?"

"If you are talking about insert a small chip inside your hand, then yes it will."

00:45

"Now you have an ID and all that it toke was a small amount of blood loss." Mint said looking at his exhausted trainer who is currently trying to sleep on a bed. "Look at the bright side, Birch let you sleep on his daughter's old bedroom."

"Can we talk later? I am too tired for that."

"Okay, but could you roll a bit to the left for me to sleep too?"

"Can't you sleep inside your pokeball?"

"I can, but I have been there the entire travel to Birch's lab and I really want to stay out of it for a while."

"Sounds fair." Sam said and rolled, giving a bit of space to the gecko.

7:00

"Alright. Time to start our adventure." Claus said eyeing the Route 101. "Ready, Chances?"

"Let's just start it." Chances said and started to walk ahead.

"Why such a bad humor? I thought that you already would be with a more lighten mood by now."

"I were expecting to have someone older as my trainer, yet what I did get was a puny ten years boy. Try to have years of preparation and end up having to be a babysitter." He said and Claus ran over to him.

"I know that I am young, but le-" He got shoved by Chances before he could finish.

"You may give orders to me during a battle, but I don't give a shit to your words while out of it." Chances said and resumed the walk. Claus got up and silently followed.

(Editor Comment: There was a consistent amount of typos in here than your other story, but it was fine. By the way, holy shit Chances is I like Mint already. :3 Oh yeah, hello everyone reading the story as well.)

Cara normal: Sorry Noah, but my cellphone had problems and my grammar checker wasn't working. Sorry for making you have so many trouble while fixing this chapter. Anyway, that was my beta, he is a good guy that I meet in DA.

Sam: Hi everyone, the author asked me to say some things to all of you.

Mint: He wants you to leave some questions to us for we to answer.

Sam: I was supposed to say that.

Mint: Sorry young trainer, but I couldn't hold myself.

Chances: My Arceus. I am working with a lot of fools.

Claus: *Crying*
