1 The Winds of New Beginnings
Disclaimer: OK, peoples. I own everything Pokémon and the rights to the show, games, and general
idea of little monsters being caught in balls and trained. No I don’t.
They belong to the creator, Game Freak, and all those other people. All I own are the characters I made up from
the top of my Gyarados head. So
there. Now ya can’t sue the Psychogyarados,
otherwise all you will get is my sanity, which I don’t mind losing…but soon I
shall have enough money to buy the rights to Pokémon. Mwahahahahaha. *Coughs*
Ahem, allrighty then. On with the show.
Key:
“Talking”
‘Thinking’
[Pokémon
translation]
As
the sun slowly ascends over the small town of New Bark, the Pidgey begin
chirping to announce the arrival of a new day.
A few Butterfree, Ledyba, and Ledian fly happily collecting pollen,
while a few stray Hoot-Hoot and Noctowl head into their nests and drift off
into a peaceful slumber. The skies are
bright with yellows, oranges, reds and blues splashed and blended in a splendid
array to look at in awe. The summer
morning air was filled with the scent of millions of daisies, roses, and a number
of other fragrant flowers from the rolling fields surrounding the bright and
cheery town. Children were up and
about, playing happily as they weren’t burdened with school. The scene was happy and serene to what
seemed like everyone.
Near
the edge of the lake that led to Kanto, a lone, bruised, and unconscious girl
lied sprawled out in a group of bushes, hidden from view. Between the layers of dirt, a few traces of
turquoise hair showed through. The
youngster looked about 12 years in age, looking at the facial features and
height. The muddy shirt and shorts
showed almost no traces of color.
Covering her arms and legs were several small scratches and scrapes. Slowly she began stirring from her slumber.
???: *moan* Ouch…huh? Where am I? *Thinks hard*
???: ‘I can’t remember anything…’
Meanwhile…
Nurse
Joy: *Walking with Chansey* “This was a good idea to take an early
morning stroll around the town. Don’t
you think Chansey?”
Chansey: Chansey chan [yes it was].
Back
in the bushes…
???: *whimpering* “I’m all alone…”
Upon
saying this, a group of Spearow fly out of the nearby trees in alarm.
Spearow: Speeaaarrrooowww.
???: *Startled and recovers* “Why am I so alone?” *in tears and
whimpering more*
Back
to Nurse Joy
Nurse
Joy: “Did you hear that Chansey?”
Chansey: Chan [yes]
*Whimper*
Nurse
Joy: “There it is again. It sounds like it’s coming from those
bushes.”
Chansey: Chan chansey [Lets go see].
Nurse
Joy and Chansey come up to the bushes where they see the same mysterious girl crying
in the bushes.
Nurse
Joy: “What’s the matter?”
???: “Huh? *Looks over and notices the
pink-haired Pokémon nurse* *sniff* I
*hic* can’t remember who I am…”
Nurse
Joy: “Oh you poor dear. Why don’t you come with me to the Pokémon
center to get you cleaned up and we can sort this out?”
???: *Sniff* “Thank you. I was beginning to feel all alone.”
Her
crystalline-colored eyes looked immediately filled with gratitude for the
nurse’s actions.
Nurse
Joy: “Don’t worry. I’ll help you get over this. Now lets go.”
Nurse
Joy, Chansey and the amnesiac girl travel back to New Bark’s Pokémon Center.
Ten
minutes later
Nurse
Joy: “Well, here we are.”
*Everyone
enters*
Nurse
Joy enters a storage room and emerges a while later with some clothes.
Nurse
Joy: “These look about your size. Now you can go shower, and get yourself and
those clothes cleaned up.”
???: “Thank you so much.” *Heads to the shower*
Twenty
minutes later
???: *Walks out of the shower in a green shirt
and blue jeans* ‘I should thank Nurse Joy for helping me out by helping her out
here’ *reaches reception area where quite a few passing trainers have gathered*
Nurse
Joy: *Is talking to one male trainer*
“Here are the keys to your room, and enjoy your stay.”
Trainer: “Thanks.”
*Walks off*
???: “Wow.
Look at all the trainers.”
Nurse
Joy: “This is normally the time when
trainers begin coming in.”
???: *Thinking out loud* “Wish I were one…”
Nurse
Joy: “That can be arranged.”
???: “Huh?”
Nurse
Joy: “You can visit Prof. Elm’s laboratory
and pick a beginner Pokémon to start off with.”
???: “Really?”
Nurse
Joy: “Yes.”
???: “But if I’m gonna be a Pokémon trainer, I’ll
need a name to go by.”
Nurse
Joy: “Hmmm. How about Krystal?”
???: “Perfect.”
Nurse
Joy: “Now you go on ahead and go to
Prof. Elm’s lab, Krystal. Here are the
directions.” *Gives Krystal directions*
After
half an hour of searching
Krystal: ‘This must be it.’
Enters
the lab
Krystal: “Hello, anyone here?”
Prof.
Elm: *Enters the main lab through a connecting door* “Oh, you must be Krystal.”
Krystal: “How did you know?”
Prof.
Elm: “Nurse Joy told me you were coming
here for a new Pokémon. Is that true?”
Krystal: “Yes.
I would like to become a trainer.”
Prof.
Elm: “Well we have three Pokémon
available from which you can choose.”
Krystal: “What are the choices?”
Prof. Elm: “You can choose from one either a Chikorita, which is a Grass-type Pokémon, a Cyndaquil, which is a Fire Pokémon, or a Totodile, which is a Water Pokémon. So which one will you choose?”
Krystal: “I’ll take the Totodile.”
Prof.
Elm: “O.K. I’ll have it ready for you in two days.”
Krystal: “Why two days?”
Prof.
Elm: “Because there is some info that
I’ll need to straighten out. But for
now I will need to take your picture for your trainer ID that will come in your
Pokédex.”
Krystal: “O.K.”
Another
half an hour later…
Krystal: *Outside the lab* “Thank you Prof. Elm.”
Prof.
Elm: “No problem. Just be sure to get here around 8:00 A.M.”
Krystal: “Will do.” *Heads back to the Pokémon center*
Ten
minutes later…
Krystal: *Back at the Pokémon Center* “How about I
pitch in around here for today Nurse Joy?”
Nurse
Joy: “Well, I could use the help…okay.”
Krystal: “Thanks, Nurse Joy.”
Nurse
Joy: “Now lets get to work.”
Krystal: “Okay”
And
with that, Krystal spends the rest of the day helping in treating sick and
injured Pokémon, learning a few things, such as how to treat certain injuries
that a certain Pokémon constantly receives.
Before she knows it, bedtime has arrived and the Pokémon Center’s once
active lobby is now dark and vacant as all the trainers that stayed are already
in their rooms. Tired from all the work
of the day, Krystal heads for her room and opens a window to let the night air
enter. Outside, the scenery has drastically
changed. Out and about were the Noctowl
and Hoot-Hoot, unseen since daybreak, now filling the air with their harmonic
hoots, while Spinarak and Ariados are either busy constructing their webs to
use for catching their dinner, or lying hidden in wait by their intricately
made fly traps. Most everyone was
asleep in their warm, cozy beds with their sweet dreams playing out. Ready for sleep, Krystal turns off the
nearby lamp and crawls into bed, where she quickly falls fast asleep…
Next
morning…
Krystal: “Mmmm.
That was a good snooze. I wonder
what Nurse Joy’s up to. Better go see.”
As
Krystal heads for the main desk, she has a close encounter with another trainer
who had just woken up.
*Bam*
Krystal: “…ouch.
That hurt.”
Trainer: “…urrhh.
Huh? *Notices Krystal on the floor* Oh, I’m so sorry. Here, let me help you up.”
She looks about Krystal’s age, maybe older, with blue hair that closely resembled a palm tree. Her eyes were a deep violet color that at the moment seemed filled with guilt for the run-in.
Krystal: “Oh no, it was my fault. I should have been looking where I was going.” *Gets up* “Oh, and my name’s Krystal.”
Trainer: “Marina. Nice to meet you, though not that roughly.”
Krystal: “Heh heh heh. Well I was going to get some breakfast. Wanna join me?”
Marina: “Oh sure.
I was getting kinda hungry.”
Krystal: “Well, let get going.”
Marina: “Okay.”
Krystal: “Last one to the cafeteria is a rotten
Exeggcute.” *speeds off*
Marina: “Huh?
Oh no you don’t.” *gives chase*
But
as they go through the main lobby, their friendly chase is put to an end.
Nurse
Joy: “Hey, stop! No running around in the Pokémon Center.”
Both
immediately halt upon hearing this.
Krystal: “Sorry Nurse Joy.”
Marina: “Yeah.
Sorry.”
At
their new pace, they enter the cafeteria were they eat a good-sized breakfast,
and get acquainted with one another.
Krystal: “So you’ve been around all of the Orange
Islands with your Water Pokémon?
Marina: “Yep.
They’ve been my best friends ever since I caught each of them.”
Krystal: “Well soon I shall have a new friend,
Totodile.”
The
conversation goes on for about an hour until…
Krystal: “Ya really think I should get a change in
wardrobe?” *Looks at her now clean outfit which was a baby blue shirt that
looked worn out and a faded pair of blue jean shorts*
Marina: “Well at least more that one outfit. How would you wash your only outfit if
you’re wearing it?”
Krystal: “Good point. Lets go to the mall.”
Marina: “Okay.”
They
begin heading out the door until Nurse Joy stops them
Nurse
Joy: “Where are you off to?”
Krystal: “Mall.
We’ll be back later.”
Nurse
Joy: “Hold on. Take this Pokégear with you and call if
you’re going to be late coming in.” *hands her the Pokégear with a slip of paper
containing both the Pokégear number and the number to the Pokémon Center.
Krystal: “Okay.
Actually I plan on being here by this evening.”
Nurse
Joy: “Okay, have fun.”
The
day goes by with Krystal and Marina looking through the stores to see all the merchandise
the place had to offer. But of course,
with Krystal being sensible enough to get only what she went there for, got
only her clothes and a few handy supplies from the trainer shops. She had also done the responsible thing and
called Nurse Joy to tell her that they would arrive around 6:45PM.
Krystal: “Yay.
Tomorrow I get my new Totodile.
I can’t wait.”
Marina: “Boy, this takes me back when I got my first
Pokémon. My Staryu. I was so excited.”
Krystal: “And look at it now. A big beautiful Starmie.” *Daydreams* “Oh I
can see it now. Me being honored as the
greatest Water Pokémon Master.”
Marina: “But remember, it’ll be a long road, and
you’ll have me to compete with.”
Krystal: *Snaps out of it* “Oh yeah…well…lets make a
pact to stick together and become Water Pokémon Masters no matter what.”
Marina: “Okay.”
Both
shake hands
Both: “Water Pokémon Masters no matter what.”
Krystal:
*Stomach grumbles* *sweatdrop* “…err, lets get some dinner.”
Marina: “Okay.”
After
the two girls have dinner, they wash up and go to bed.
Next
morning after breakfast…
Krystal: *At Prof. Elm’s lab* “Good morning,
professor.”
Prof.
Elm: “Oh good morning, Krystal. Here for your Totodile I see.”
Krystal: “Yeah.”
Prof.
Elm: “Right this way.”
Leads
Krystal and Marina into a room containing numerous Pokéballs.
Prof.
Elm: *Takes out Pokéball* “Here it is.”
*hands Krystal the Pokéball*
Krystal: *holding the Pokéball with an excited
expression* “Here in this Pokéball awaits my very first Pokémon. And now for the moment of truth. Go Totodile!!”
The
Pokéball opens to reveal a small blue alligator Pokémon
Totodile: Toto totodile? [Are you my new trainer?]
Krystal: “I would like to think of myself more as
your friend than trainer.” *Walks over and picks up Totodile and gently pets
him*
Marina: “Your first Pokémon so cute.”
Totodile: Toto dile toto. [I could get used to this.]
Krystal: “Thank you.”
Heads
back to the Pokémon center to get registered for the Johto League
In
the computer room…
Computer: “Krystal Waters, from New Bark Town. Welcome to the Johto League.”
Nurse
Joy: “Here’s your copy of the Johto
Guidebook. And make sure you don’t lose
it.”
Krystal: “I won’t and thank you for everything, Nurse
Joy.”
Nurse
Joy: “No problem. Now you better get going.”
Krystal: “Okay, see ya. Come on, Marina.”
And
so begins Krystal’s quest to becoming a Water Pokémon Master. What adventures will they encounter? Find out next time…
Well,
what do ya think? Good? Bad?
Don’t care? Whatever. Flames will be used in Hydro Pump target
practice for my clan of Gyarados.
Chapter 2 will come in time and will depend on how busy I am in
school. *Sniff* *sniff* oh shrimp. Yummers.
*Chomp* *snarl* *chew*.
(Muffled) suh yuh.
