So…. the next chapter is finally here. After months of waiting, I finally bring you guys the second chapter of Poketail: Adventures in Sinnoh.
I…. do feel bad. I mean I promised to reboot my very first story, yet I focused more on my recent stories. Seriously, I genuinely feel bad. But I'm back, and I promise the chapters will be longer and more action packed than before.
Now, let's answer some reviews!
StreakFreak: I actually agree with you on Cana… though she might spend more time drinking than doing contests. Like the pairing ideas and I hope you like the rest of this story.
DeadStorm88: Yeah… I don't like Laxus that much. He's gotten better as the series went on, but he's not someone I would root for. No, I agree with the whole chapter length thing. The reason I did the first chapter relatively short is because I was in a hurry and this chapter would have more action.
TheFreezerStreets: I agree those pairings are overused, hence why I won't be using them.
Guest: I love Natsu x Erza.
Guest number 2: Natsu x Juvia is something I would love to experiment with.
Foggsaurus8: Love the pairing.
Guest number 3: Thanks.
Nchav-s850: Thanks man.
Amargi'sNodachi: I hope it's interesting.
1izard 99: Well Detective Pikachu is… an interesting choice. It might not make sense to the story overall.
Cooldude24: Sorry for the long wait.
Guest number 4: Yes, Natsu will still get Rotom and I haven't watched Sun and Moon cause I'm done with the Pokemon anime.
Guest number 5: I suppose Cyrus will get the Probopass. You'll see how this story is different from the games and anime.
Vaporizer: Good choices.
To recap the first chapter of this story: A newcomer by the name of Kevin Rowan just arrived in Magnolia in order to meet Fiore's most famous Guild. As they continue to celebrate their victory in the Grand Magic Games, the Fairy Tail Guild became as rowdy as ever, though Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox pushed the Titania of Fairy Tail to the point she tossed them to the Guild doors. Unfortunately, the two Dragon Slayers crashed into the newcomer, instantly knocking him out.
How will Fairy Tail deal with their little mishap? And will they be charged? Let's find out...
'Fairy Tail Infirmary, one hour later'
"Is he awake?"
"You crashed into him while fighting, WHAT DO YOU THINK?!"
"It was Erza's fault!"
"Excuse me?"
"Would you all shut up? I think he's starting to wake up."
A low groan escaped Kevin's lips as he slowly began to open his eyes. The bright light of a lightbulb blinded him momentarily, but his eyes were able to adjust.
"Are you okay?" The sound of a female voice rang through Kevin's ears, followed by the gathering of several shadowy figures.
"Yeah, I think I just hit my head on-" However, before Kevin could finish, he caught sight of something that would never leave his mind ever.
A pair of large breasts, hugged against a red dress. "HOLY!" A large gush of blood suddenly came out of Kevin's nose before he turned his body sharply… tumbling off his bed. His blood began to spill on the floor as his eyes turned to swirls.
"Well, at least he's not dead." Gray spoke with a slight sweatdrop.
"Need a hand?" Natsu called out, getting the nosebleeding male to push himself up.
"No, I think… I think I'm good." Kevin said, wiping away the remaining blood from his nose. It was unprofessional to speak with someone while blood came down the nostrils, at least that was what mom said. Standing up straight, Kevin looked back… only to gasp at the people in the infirmary.
Standing around him were none other than Natsu Dragneel, Erza Scarlet, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Gajeel Redfox, and Wendy Marvell, along with the Exceeds Happy and Carla, some of the most famous wizards in Fiore. And they were all looking at him. AT HIM!
Kevin quickly rubbed his eyes, as if he had something in them. However, his eyes weren't deceiving him, they were the real deal.
"Oh my god…. Oh my god… OH MY GOD!" Kevin practically screamed, stepping back with wide eyes. "Y-Y-Y-Y-You're… you're… you're… you're…"
"I think we broke him." Gajeel said offhandedly with a blank tone. Great, another fanboy who froze at they saw him. It wasn't bad per say, but just really damn annoying.
"Should we… do something about him?" Lucy said with an unsure tone. So this was how she acted when she first came to Fairy Tail. Funny, now looking at it from another point of view, it looked really REALLY weird.
"I could try healing his head." Wendy offered innocently. It could be a side effect of being trampled on by Natsu and Gajeel. Either way, she would need to help. Natsu walked up the the brown haired male with a tilt of his head….
*Clap*
"Snap out of it!" … and clapped his hands together, snapping Kevin out of his daze.
"YOU'RE FAIRY TAIL! HOLY CRAP, YOU GUYS ARE ACTUALLY HERE, IN FRONT OF ME! THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Kevin shouted with pure gleam, making everyone flinch at the volume of his voice. He then grabbed Natsu's hand and began shaking it rather quickly. "I can't believe it. I'm shaking hands with THE Natsu Dragneel, the Salamander. Not like that guy Bora. Good work putting him in his place, by the way."
"Ummm, thanks?" Natsu said, clearly confused with what was going on.
"People say Fairy Tail still sucks, but I don't believe them. After what you guys did in the Grand Magic Games, I'm sure everyone would see how awesome you guys are." Kevin said, shaking Natsu's hand even faster.
"Can you let go of my hand now?" Natsu said, feeling his hand getting tired from the constant shaking from his fan.
"I've been shaking your hand too long. Right." Realizing what he was doing, Kevin quickly let go of Natsu's hand. He smiled at Natsu… before he pushed on the Dragon Slayer's chest, feeling his strong muscles behind his shirt. "Wow, you're really buff under that shirt." He then glanced at Gajeel while gesturing towards Natsu. "The real Natsu Dragneel." Realizing who he was talking to, Kevin decided to add a little compliment. "I know you, you're great." The Iron Dragon Slayer simply shrugged, though he did have a small smirk on his face.
"I think he went a little cuckoo when he hit his head." Happy whispered to Natsu's ear, climbing on his shoulder. Noticing the blue cat, Kevin let out a gasp.
"Holy crap, you're Happy the cat! Natsu's faithful, talking, flying blue cat!" Kevin said, getting up in Happy's face while shaking his little paw. "Some people consider you the mascot of Fairy Tail. How do you feel about that? And how can you talk?"
"Finally, someone who sees how awesome I am." Happy said with a proud smile. Yes, he wasn't the strongest, or the bravest, or smartest person(or cat) in Fairy Tail, but he was lovable and provided fish if people needed. At least there were people who saw how much potential the Exceed really had. "But does your head still hurt?"
"My head?" Curious, Kevin rubbed his head, not feeling anything off about it. "I'm good. Why do you ask?"
"Because these two kinda… knocked you out cold." Lucy said with a nervous smile, pointing at Natsu and Gajeel. The former grinned bashfully while the latter just looked away, leaning against the wall.
'They knocked me out?!' Kevin thought in astonishment before he remembered something.
He remembered opening the Guildhall doors.
The sound of two people scream.
And finally, he remembered two bodies flying towards him. Then nothing.
A sweatdrop appeared on the back of his head. 'You know, considering the rumors about the Guild being reckless… getting knocked out by them doesn't sound too crazy.' Kevin thought, unconsciously rubbing the spot where his head crashed into the ground.
"I apologize for their behavior. It was never our intention to harm you." Erza said while walking up to Kevin, bowing her head. "If you wish, you may strike me."
'It was her fault they crashed into him.' Lucy and Gray thought in unison. It was true… but they weren't going to say it out loud, since they valued their lives and everything.
"Yyyyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh, no thank you." Kevin said with an even bigger sweatdrop. 'I'm pretty sure you'd snap my wrist if you did that.'
"So, what's your name? You had to come here for a reason." Gray said, going straight to business. It didn't take a genius to see that this guy was a fan of Fairy Tail, but he would still like to know any other reason for him to come here.
"Oh right, sorry." Kevin said sheepishly before he gave the Fairy Tail wizards a bow. "My name is Kevin Rowan. I'm Seventeen year old, a Pokemon trainer and a member of the Crystal Empire."
"The Crystal Empire?" Everyone looked at the male with a question mark over their heads. What the hell is the Crystal Empire?
"Yeah, it's about a three day boat ride from here." Kevin said with a nod. "I had to leave on Sunday to get here, but it was worth it to finally meet Fairy Tail." He then gasped loudly while cupping his face. "Wait… we're in the Fairy Tail Guild, right? RIGHT?!"
"Yes, we are. But I don't understand what-" Before Erza could finish, Kevin bolted out of the infirmary at speed even she couldn't see, leaving a large dust cloud behind him.
"Well… that happen." Carla said while coughing heavily.
"We should probably check on him to make sure he doesn't get knocked out again." Lucy suggested, getting the others to nod before they exited the infirmary as well.
'Fairy Tail Main Hall'
"I can't believe it… I'm actually standing in the Guildhall of Fiore's top Guild…" Kevin muttered to himself, standing in the middle of the hall with wide eyes and a beaming smile. He looked like he would explode any second. Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth… and let out a mighty scream. "THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!" His yelling caught the attention of every wizard in the guild. In the blink of an eye, Kevin appeared in front of Bisca and Alzack, who were currently seated with their daughter Asuka. "The Gunslinger Couple, Bisca and Alzack! Is it true you guys can draw your guns faster than the eye could see?"
"Ummm, how did you that?" Alzack asked, rather surprised that the person who Natsu and Gajeel knocked out was standing in front of him and his family, asking a random question.
"Sorcerer Weekly, but that's not important. Is it true?" Kevin asked with even more excitement.
"You tell me." Bisca said. With a smirk, she flicked her wrist, using her Requip magic to summon her Thompson Machine Gun.
"You're so cool, mommy." Asuka said with child like innocence, getting a smile from her parents.
"I know, right?" Kevin said before he rushed to Elfman and Lisanna. "Elfman, how manly would you say you are?"
"Is that even a question? Just look at these guns!" Elfman boasted while flexing his ridiculously large arms(catching the attention of a certain Fairy in the Thunder Legion).
"Yup, that's my big brother." Lisanna giggled, not even phased by her older brother flexing. It was part of his charm. Nodding happily, Kevin rushed to the Thunder Legion.
"What do you want, kid?" Laxus said boredly, giving the brown haired male a sideways glance.
"Freed Justine, I have a question that a lot of people in my town have been debating about for months." Kevin said, deliberately ignoring Laxus for the green haired male.
"Think it has something to do about your hair?" Bikslow said jokingly to his fellow comrade, nudging his ribs.
"Hair… Hair… Hair… Hair…" Bikslow's 'babies' chanted as if they were performing a ritual.
"Why don't you ask a real fairy something?" Evergreen said while fanning herself.
"Enough. The question is for me alone." Freed said calmly before he looked at Kevin. "Now, what is your question?"
"Well… do you love Laxus?" Kevin asked with an innocent tone.
*SPIT*
Bikslow and Evergreen suddenly did a spit take while Laxus actually flinched, though it was too subtle for anyone to see.
"E-Excuse me?!" Freed stuttered, a clear blush on his cheeks. Who in their right mind would ask such a question?
"Sorcerer Weekly had a poll where readers could decide who would be a better fit for Laxus, and a majority of readers voted that you and Laxus would be the best couple." Kevin said while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Though I'm pretty sure most of the readers were fangirls."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bikslow couldn't hold back his laughter as he clutched his stomach. "Oh man, this is too good!"
"I never knew you felt this way, Freed." Evergreen teased, hiding her smirk from behind her fan. Freed's blush intensified as his friends continued to tease him.
"So Laxus, what do you think of-"
"No comment" Laxus said before he drank from his mug. And he thought today would be an easy day.
"Well, it looks like someone's feeling better." Mirajane said with a small giggle, entertained by the boy's antics. It was honestly cute to her.
"Let's just hope he doesn't charge the Guild for what happened." Makarov said while drinking his alcohol.
"NO WAY!" Makarov lowered his mug… only to come face to face with a grinning Kevin. "Makarov Dreyar, the Guild of Fairy Tail… you're a lot shorter than I thought you'd back. No offense, of course."
"I see. Can you tell us your name, young man?" Makarov asked, letting the comment slide for the moment.
"Sorry, I guess I was too excited about seeing everyone." Kevin said awkwardly before he bowed his head. "My name is Kevin Rowan of the Crystal Empire."
"The Crystal Empire? My, that's a ways away, isn't it?" Mirajane said in surprise. Unlike Erza, the 'Demon' of Fairy Tail studied the other empires in Earthland.
"Mirajane Strauss…" Kevin took a moment to absorb Mira's beauty, a small blush on his cheeks. "Man, this has to be the best day of my life. Well aside from getting knocked out by two of the strongest Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail. OH! I have to ask for an autograph. Let me just open my-" However, the moment Kevin patted his back, his eyes widened. "My… oh no."
"Is something wrong?" Makarov asked with a raised brow.
"No, no, no, no, no. Where's my backpack?" Kevin said in a frantic tone. He needed the contents of his backpack. Otherwise, he won't be able to go back home. Plus, he left his 'friends' in there for keep's sake.
"Heads up." A voice called out from behind. Kevin turned just in time to catch his backpack, letting out a small grunt. The thrower was none other than Natsu Dragneel, who had Happy lying on his shoulder. "You forgot it in there." With a moment's hesitation, the brown haired male opened the backpack, making sure all the contents were inside.
"We didn't take anything, I promise." Lucy said with reassurance. She remembered how curious Happy was about what the kid had in his backpack, but one threat involving a razor was all she needed to keep him in place. After a minute of searching, Kevin let out a sigh of relief as he pulled out a black belt. It wasn't unusual… except for the six white and red spheres attached to the side.
"Thank Arceus, you guys are safe." Kevin said to the balls, wrapping the belt around his waist. Straightening himself, Kevin turned back to the Fairy Tail wizards and bowed his head. "Thanks for giving me my bag. Without it, I'd be lost."
"You said you were from the Crystal Empire. Can I assume you came to meet Fairy Tail?" Makarov asked with a knowing tone. His theory was correct as Kevin nodded his head in pure excitement.
"Yes sir. Ever since the announcement that you and the other missing Fairy Tail members returned, I wanted to come to Fiore and see you. But the prices for boat rides was high." Kevin said while rubbing his arm. "I had to work twice as hard just to get a two way ticket here. But still, it was worth it. Especially when the news spread that you guys retook your place as Fiore's number one Guild. Congratulations, by the way." Some of the wizards who heard this smiled in response. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, like a big mission or something."
"It's no trouble. And again, we would like to apologize for what happened to you." Erza said with a small bow.
"No, it's fine, really. I don't even feel anything." Kevin said before knocking on the spot where his head hit the floor, though he held back a whimper. It didn't heal as fast as he thought it would, it seems. "But still, I'm so glad to be here, and-what time is it?"
"I believe it's 1:13 in the afternoon. Why?" Carla asked, clearly confused with why the male wanted to know the time.
"Crap, it's way past lunch time." Kevin said with a groan, rubbing his forehead. "They're going to throw a fit when I bring them out."
"Bring who out?" Gray questioned in a raised brow. Was this guy a Celestial Wizard like Lucy and Yukino, or was he something else?
"Before I… bring them out…" Kevin turned towards Makarov and Mirajane. "Do you know of the creatures that live in the Crystal Empire?"
"Mmmm, I believe I know what you're talking about." Makarov said with a small nod. In his youth, Makarov heard from Precht Gaebolg of these creatures that possessed abilities similar to magic, yet only unique to them. They existed in the Regions of the Crystal Empire, and it was said to be illegal for wizards to hunt these creatures without proper paperwork. "Why do you ask?"
"Well…" An apologetic smile crept across his face as he took all six white and red balls before his fingers. He pressed the button on the middle, which allowed the balls to grow to the size of a baseball, much to everyone's surprise. "I might have brought some of them and I'll need to feed them now. Otherwise, let's just say I have to pay for it later." Seeing the confusion on their faces, Kevin let out a small sigh through his nose before he turned to an open area of the Guildhall. "Alright guys, come out for some lunch!" With that, he threw all six balls high in the air, allowing them to open.
And then… six beams of light emerged from the balls, landing on the ground. The Fairy Tail wizards watched as the lights disappeared before six strange creatures appeared.
The first was a blue, avia-like creature. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue with four toes, three claws forward and one backward. The tail is made up of five feathers, the outer two being longer than the inner ones.
The second was a thin, yellow, bipedal insectoid. It has a broad, split leaf around its large, round head and it has long antennae that end in semicircles. Its eyes are red with no apparent sclerae. Its tiny thorax is dark green, and its long abdomen is yellow and covered in a green leaf. Its hands are long and leaf-like with a "bite" taken out of each. Its upper arms are also leaf-like, but with a vein of yellow at the top. Its thin legs are yellow with dark green, thick segments around its upper legs, making them appear armored.
The third was a tortoise-like quadruped. It has a large black rock-like shell with holes that glow with a red warmth. Its skin is reddish brown with gray-black bands on its legs and neck. It has a long neck and its eyes seem permanently closed.
The fourth was a quadrupedal creature resembling a fully-grown lion. While its face, hind legs, torso, and the back of its front legs are blue, much of its body is covered with shaggy, black fur. The fur is longer around the shoulders and the base of the tail, and forms a mane on its head. It has yellow eyes with red sclerae, a blunt muzzle, and rounded ears with yellow insides. There are three yellow, half rings on the back of each foreleg. Its long, thin tail is tipped with a yellow four-pointed star.
The fifth was a tall bipedal, frog-like creature It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.
The sixth and final creature was something that caught the attention of most(especially the females.) It was a mammalian, quadruped creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. It has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.
All six creatures opened their eyes, only to glare angrily at Kevin. They all began to call out what sounded like names, though from the reaction Kevin had, it was obvious he understood them. "I know, I know. I'm sorry for not feeding you yet. Something happened and I ended up falling… asleep." Kevin said while raising his hands in defense.
"Gren, Greninja." The frog like creature communicated with annoyance.
"Come on, Greninja. Do you really think I would intentionally forget to feed all of you? I'm being honest!"
"Eevee, Eev!" The cute brown furred creature countered with its equivalent of a pout.
"Not you too, Eevee." Kevin began rubbing his face out of exhaustion, not noticing the looks of astonishment from Fairy Tail. "Look, I'm going to feed you right now, okay? And I promise to give each of you a Macaron."
The six creatures gave him a look.
"Two Macarons?"
Again, they gave him a look.
"Fine, three Macarons! That's all I can give." Kevin said with a defeated tone. The six creatures lost their angry expressions as they nodded in satisfaction. Why, oh why, did he have to have Pokemon with attitude? Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Kevin turned back to the Fairy Tail guild, who were looking at him like he grew two, or rather six new heads. "Hi, Mirajane? Can I have some lunch please? I'm willing to pay for it."
"Wha-Wha-Wha-"
"I'm thinking of a BLT sandwich, with anything that isn't alcoholic. Gotta keep my body in good shape."
"How-How-How?"
"And maybe one of your famous strawberry cakes. I heard that it's Erza's speciality."
"WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?!" Almost immediately, a large majority of the Guild, save for Erza, Makarov, the Thunder Legion and Mirajane, shouted, unable to hold back their shock. Kevin and his creatures all looked at each other with a look of genuine confusion before he uttered one word.
"What?"
Again, if you've stuck with me for a long time, you know I just LOVE cliffhangers. It not only hooks you guys, but it's also my way of trolling you… nah, I'm just kidding. Sometimes, cliffhangers are good to help give the writer time to think of what to write next. It might seem cruel, but even I run out of juice. But I promise, the next chapter will be longer and more action packed.
So Pokemon Sword and Shield… yeah, I'm just tired out with Pokemon. It's just getting too ridiculous and I sweat if we get another anime with Ash as the damn protagonist, I will drown myself. If you guys are getting it, that's fine. But I don't know if I'll even use some of the Pokemon from that game in this story.
Fun fact: the Pokemon Kevin has(Torkoal, Altaria, Greninja, Eevee, Leavanny and Luxray) were a team I used for Omega Ruby, and it was fun. But there were some Pokemon I wanted to use, but I felt that I could reveal them later.
Follow, Fav, Review and PM for anything.
Next time: Rules of Pokemon.
