Dis: I own my charaters but that's it. ****Through Thick and Thin**** By: StarrybluMew Warning!!!: This fanfic deals with teenage things. There may be talk about sex, how the world really is, or other nasty things. This fic is not intended for young children under the age of 12. { } This means that someone's thinking. *** *** This means something's in italics. A/N: I'm still writing Jade Hearts but I'm gonna try to write this too! I don't mind, really. I just hope that I acutally have someone reading my stories that doesn't seem to mind either. Also, there's gonna be a break between parts. The break is ***. But please, don't confuse them for italics. I'm doing this in 3 parts so that way it'll become more easier to finish the story. Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins The light shinned through the green bedroom curtains, waking up the girl lying in her comfy bed. The girl was 14 years old. She had brown hair that had just a little bitty trace of blonde. Her eyes were a sparkling blue mist that reminded you of an ocean on a foggy night. The clothes she usually wore were mostly T- shirts with blue denuim jeans that touched the ground. The type of shoes that this young girl liked to wear were sneakers. She wasn't a very perky person. Actually, she couldn't stand being anywhere near someone so cheerful. She knew how the world was, full of crooks and perverts who wanted nothing more than some pussy. But she wasn't the only person in her family who knew that. Her mother, being the worrywart she was, feared for her daughter's safety. The mother was afraid that her daughter might get hurt severely on her quest to become a Pokemon Master. For that reason, the girl wasn't allowed to go on her own journey like all of her other friends had. The only friend the girl had in New Bark Town was Cheyenne Karimah. Luckily, tonight was the night that both Cheyenne and the girl had been waiting for. Tonight they were going to sneak out so they could achieve their dreams of becoming Pokemon masters. The bedroom door cracked open slightly as a peeping eye scanned the area. The door opened wide and a tiny boy with short, blonde hair and baby blue eyes stepped quietly into the room. The boy was wearing blue PJ's with Squirtle's all over it. His PJ shorts matched his shirt. Nearing the bed, the blonde haired boy postioned himself, then he leapt on the bed. "Get up, Kade!" the boy insisted as he started shaking his sister. "Get off of me, dork." angered, Kade turned around and pulled the covers up to her ears. "But Mom said you have to!" the boy insisted once again. "If Mom told you to cut yourself with a Weedle, would you do it?" the girl mumbled. "Yes. Would you?" "No. Now get off of me." Kade sat stright up and shoved her little brother off of her bed. A loud ***thump!*** was heard. "I'm telling Mom!" the young boy yelled as he dashed out of Kade's room. A couple of minutes later, the sound of someone walking up the stairway was heard. Then an older woman stepped inside of Kade's room. She had short, brown hair and hazel eyes. Her shirt consisted of a pink shirt and white shorts with a white apron tied around her waist and tan fuzzy slippers for shoes. "Kaitlynn! Get up outta that bed this instant!" Kade, or Kaitlynn as her mother had called her, just laid there in the bed. "Why?" Kade asked in a grumpy tone. "Because I said so!" Kade turned the other way. "Kaitlynn! Get your behind out of that bed and into the ketchin for breakfest this instant!" Kade ignored her mother's instructions and kept laying on the bed. "Mom, go away...." Kade muttered as she drifted off into a peaceful dream. "Oh, no you don't! How many times have I told you to get out of that bed and actually do ***something*** with your life?" Kade laid her face face-down on her pillow. As soon as she felt as if she could fall alseep, her mother had snapped her out of it. "25 times." Kade said through a muffled pillow. Mom's paitence was up. Kade had done this to her for what? 7 weeks now? Mom grabbed each corner of the sheets and jerked them off of Kade's bed. "Hey!" Kade shouted as she shivered slightly. "You might want to put some pants on. The air conditioner's been on the fritz here lately." Mom mused. "Oh, gee. Thanks for the info." Kade said sarcasticly as she hopped out of bed and opened up her dresser drawer. She quickly slipped some blue jeans on, her red shirt, some green biker gloves with holes for her fingers, and her grey hat on. Then she darted out the door and down to the ketchin for some breakfest. *** At the ketchin table, Kade's little brother, dad, and mom sat eating Jumpfluff Pancakes. They were widely known throughout Johto for being the best and most softest pancakes there ever was. Kade's brother was about to snatch the last 2 pancakes off of the table when Kade shouted "Don't you dare touch my pancakes!" from the stairway. Kade's dad sat his daily newspaper, The Johto Times, down on the table. "Kaitlynn, don't be mean to your brother." Kade pointed at her brother as she whinned "But he started it!". "Now Andrew, you know that those 2 pancakes belong to Kaitlynn." Dad chided. "So why don't you let Kaitlynn have them?" As much as Kade loved to see Andrew troubled about his pancakes, which always made him upset, Kade had somewhere to go. "Hey Mom?" Kade asked as she entered the ketchin. "What is it, honey?" Mom asked. Kade walked over to her. "Can I put my pancakes in my lunch box? Or can you at least pack me something to eat?" Mom gave Kade a strange look. "No you see, I have to meet Cheyenne at Prof. Elm's lab. It's gonna take all day. Well, for to get over it." Mom gave Kade a look that read "What are you up to?". {Oh, please belive me. Please....} she begged in her mind. "Prof. Elm was thinking about giving Cheyenne a starter. I just wanted to say goodbye...." Kade stared down at the floor for the effect. "Hmmm-mmmm...." Mom said. "Just don't take to long. OK?" Mom handed Kade 3 apples and Kade happily picked up her lunch box off of the counter and placed the 3 apples in it. Mom leaned over and planted a kiss on top of Kade's head. "Love you, honey!" Mom called as Kade rushed out the door with her backpack slung over her shoulder and her lunch box in hand. "Love you to, Mom!" Kade yelled back as she rushed to Cheyenne's house. When she got to Cheyenne's house, Cheyenne was sitting on her porch steps. She was a African-American with black hair tied up in braids. She had 2 ponyta- tail's on the back of her head. She wore a red shirt that read B.F.I. in blue letters. On the back of Cheyenne's shirt, it read in blue letters Beautiful Fun Intelligent. Her eyes were a light brown that shinned like the sun in the hot savannah. Cheyenne was wearing blue shorts and her white skechers. "Girl! Do you know how long I've been 'sittin here?" Kade smiled. "Sorry I took so long. My mom was starting to act skepictal so I hurried. If it wasn't for dumb Andrew waking me up, I would have slept alot longer." Cheyenne stood up and grabbed Kade by the hand. She dragged her into the house. "Kade, we've got to be quiet. Aissa and Taylor are alseep." Cheyenne whispered. Aissa and Taylor were Cheyenne's siblings. Aissa was Cheyenne's older sister, being the oldest out of the three children while Taylor, Cheyenne's brother, was born second. "Shhhh!" Cheyenne said in a low tone. "Taylor wakes up at the sound of a pen drop. We've got to be careful." Quietly, the 2 girls slipped into Cheyenne's bedroom. Kade plumped down on Cheyenne's bed. She didn't get any sleep last night because her and Cheyenne were planning their get-a-way. They had made sure that each and every flaw was covered. Cheyenne's mother didn't belive in Pokemon battles or going off on a journey so Cheyenne wanted to become a trainer as much as Kade did. Just the thought of becoming one made their desires of being a Pokemon Master even stronger. This plan would have to be purfect if they wanted to achive their dreams. Cheyenne sat down next to Kade as she said in a hushed whisper, "You got the supplies, right?" Kade nodded. "Right." "Now all we'll need are some pokeballs and we're good to go." Kade stared at the carpet as she replied "Cheyenne? We didn't think of that." Cheyenne's face dropped. She loved Pokemon more than anyone else Kade knew. "Wait!" Cheyenne whispered. Only this time it was in a high pitched whisper. "What?" Kade asked. "My mom gave me 25 dollars for Christmas last year." "So? What's your point?" Cheyenne crossed her arms. "My point ***is*** that I saved up all that money. I have 150 dollars in my Voltorb bank. With that money, I'm sure we can catch at least 1 Pokemon using 1 pokeball each." "Wait! Where's the money now?" Kade asked. "It's in my backpack." Kade scratched her head. "Are you saying we each buy a pokeball with your money?" Cheyenne nodded. "Let's hurry up and go!" Kade stood up and carefully walked out of Cheyenne's house and to the forest with Cheyenne following close behind her. *** You'd think that 2 kids would be caught for running away, but since New Bark Town was a tiny town with few people, nobody seemed to care. The forest shade that the trees provided felt good to both Kade and Cheyenne as they made their way to Cherrygrove City. "Oh, man!" Kade mouned. "This is so stupid!" Cheyenne ducked underneath the branch that was hanging right in front of her as she remarked, "What? Finally 'havin yo freedum or my pokeball plan?" Kade shook her head as she replied "No, no Cheyenne. It's not you, it's just....what happens if our get-a-way plan doesn't work? What happens if the cops start looking for us or something?" Cheyenne thought for a minute. Then she spoke up and said, "We'll just phone-call our parents when we reach Violet City. Right now, the only thing that you need to worry about is what Pokemon you're gonna catch." Kade smiled. Then she said, "Yeah. Almost all of the Pokemon around here suck." Cheyenne nodded in agreement. "I hope I can find a cute starter like a Chikorita or a Meowth." Kade smirked. "Cute? Haha. Don't even get me started. I'm 'lookin for either a cool Pokemon or at least a strong one." Cheyenne patted Kade on the back as she said, "You were always the tomboy." Then, Cheyenne ran ahead of Kade and shouted "I'm gonna kick your butt in Pokemon ***and*** in racing!!!" Kade pushed her hat up as the wind blew. She smirked once more as she yelled at Cheyenne, "Not if I beat you first!". So Cheyenne and Kade raced all the way to Cherrygrove City, leaving what was once their problems behind. AUTHOR NOTES: 1. I'm not racist in ANY way at all. So please don't think I am. Trust me, I think black guys are HOT!!!! 2. I'm basing some of this Pokemon infomation off of the gamez and the show. The rest I'm making up by myself. 3. I am gonna continue Jade Hearts, so for all of you Jade Hearts fans, (if there's any!) don't worry. 4. Kade is the main charater's nickname. Cheyenne and Kade's other friends, which will be in the series later, thought it up since Kade is a tomboy. She hates her real name, Kaitlynn, so she goes by Kade instead. Her parents call her Kaitlynn because they don't like the name Kade. 5. Since Kade is the main charater, the other chapters will be in her P.O.V. This chapter isn't because it's the introduction and it would make less sense if I went by the P.O.V. right away.
