Meet the heroine


Pewter, the city of stone, was always a peaceful place, when it came to mining for stones, donating fossils to the local museum. Suzanne, the energetic 16 year old who was born and raised in Celadon, moved to this town with her father some time ago, for her father needed to work. For Suzanne, it was the time for her adventure. While the city of Pewter was a lovely sight, Suzanne knew there was no time to be sightseeing; she, the main hero of her story, must explore the tyrannical lands of Kanto in order to defeat the demon mankey-meowth prince to save the 13th dimension!

...At least, that was her plan, anyway. Just a few feet behind her was her trusty sidekick - a Riolu, a small puppy-like pokemon who had a blue main body, and black ears, and paws. He was busy surveying the ground, until he found a stray can.

"Iolu!" (A can of HippoPop!) The young Riolu barked, however, his excitement went straight to disappointment when he found out the can was empty. He really wanted a drink.

"Come, Excalibur!" Suzanne called out to her Riolu, who was lagging behind. "Chapter one of the guide of the legendary heroines - A heroine is always on time, for the bad guys will not escape our everlasting grasps of victory! Our potentials are everlasting! For you see, as long as there is that one piece of black coal on the red grill of justice, we can always make one barbecue that will feed a king!"

"Ri!" (Just as long as there are pokedogs as well!) Excalibur, the young Riolu cried, as he dropped the empty can, and ran as fast as he could to catch up.

Suzanne and Excalibur had finally arrived to the sturdy Pokemart - the meeting place of where she was assigned to.

Ah, so this is where our debut begins! Suzanne thought as she gazed around. The pokemart appeared to be open, and it didn't appear to be too big. She stretched out her arms and made sure her scarf could not cover her face from the breeze. It was the perfect beginning setting for her, she thought once more.

"Ri-Ri!" (Lookie!) Excalibur the Riolu cried, trying to divert Suzanne's attenton to a few feet ahead; it looked like a lone Bulbasaur. Scratch that; it was! Suzanne hastily made her way over to her. Or him. She wasn't sure the gender, but...

"Aw, and aren't you a cute little thing!" Suzanne complimented, as the Bulbasaur responded with a smile. Suzanne patted him, and he seemed to be enjoying it! "Chapter two of the guide of the most legendary of heroines! A heroine must treat life as a gem! And as a gem, it must be polished and taken care to maximize it's beauty! Young Bulbasaur, I, the mighty heroine of the west, will promise to protect you from the forces of darkness itself! Young Excalibur will help as well!"

"Olu!" (We'll eat em' all up!) added Excalibur, as.. he seemed to be drooling in hunger. Perhaps he had a different intent of defeating the bad guys. To eat them...?

A Carefree heart- Meeting new friends!


Luke smiled and hummed to himself as he stood in the kitchen, wooden spoon flowing through the pitcher of sweet red kool-aid he was making. He had several little bottle set out, ready to be filled. The boy was in very good spirits, and he grinned down at his pokemon. His pokemon. Fira the vulpix. She yipped at him happily and rubbed against his leg. Yes, she was in a good mood too! And why wuld they not be? His adventure was about to begin! He wasn't worried about tomorrow, he knew that it would come. His life was now! He would see the world and learn different ideas from different places after all.

"You hungry little Fira?" he asked the vulpix, who had begun to sniff at the bowl of pokefood on the ground. The empty bowl. He smiled and reached into his bag, which was laying on the table and pulled out a container of food, putting a few in the bowl. Which Fira promptly ate. That was good, a breakfast was needed for them to be at their best! He looked over at the clock on the wall in his father's apartment. 9:35 AM. Oh no, he was going to be late! He had to hurry! He filled the bottles and put them in his bag, along with the bandages and antibacterial cream in as well as some asprin. He also had many containers of food, and pokemon food. As well as several ingredients to make delicious pokemon food on the go. Yes, he had enough supplies for a few weeks at least, and he was sure Fira would be able to help him get money for more. Or maybe one of his new friends would help, because he wasn't too hot in battles.

"Pix! Vulpix! (Hey, let's go!)" Fira called, barking at the boy, her tails swaying happily. Yes, she was ready to go! She wanted to run and chase pidgey and chew on all sorts of things! And the scents she would find! Luke chuckled and rubbed her head tuft before returning to his preparations. He pulled a few ice packs out of the freezer and placed them in a cooler, which he also stored cold food in. That would need to be eaten first. Let's see... Soap, spare clothing, a pot to cook in, and... that was good. Fira could heat the food herself, so he didn't need that.

"Come on Fira, let's go!" he said, walking out of the building and... To the museum next. He checked in with the last o his allowance to look at all the cool fossils and say good bye to his father, security for the place. His father was of coure happy to see him, as was the Houndoom next to him.

"Hey Son, I hope you have fun on your journey!" the older man said happily. Luke grinned and nodded, petting the fierce houndoom, who smiled and licked his hand.

"Of course Dad! I'll be a great trainer, i know it! I love pokemon a lot!" he said. Dad laughed and clapped a hand on his shoulder. His father was a very large, powerful looking man, who was quite intimidating. He was a trainer as well, quite renowned in his hayday, with a powerful team. But that was years ago. He had settled down to a quiet life among the fossilized remains inside the museum, where he and his houndoom entertained kids and stopped what few thieves even wanted to steal the old relics of time long past.

"Great son! If you can get six badges, come back and have a nice little battle with your dear old dad! And be careful, and don't trust strangers. Always keep an eye on that little one at your side, ok my son? And maybe you can find some insight into what you would like to do with your life." the man said. Houndoom barked happily at him and he nodded.

"Ok Dad, i will." he said with a smile. Chasing down Gym Badges and living as a Pro Trainer, was that what he wanted to do? Pokemon got hurt in battle, but they thrived from them too. He culd help Fira and whatever pokemon he caught grow and develop. He loved the smiles on people's faces when they saw that their pokemn were stronger when they got them out of the daycare. Battling and rising to the top would be a good goal... but was it really his dream? Who knew... Who cared. one step at a time. He smiled and strolled leisurely toward the pokemart. He was a few minutes late, obviously, and there was someone there already. A cute girl with a riolu and a bulbasaur! Wow, she had TWO pokemon already? Fira let out an excited cry and ran forward, sniffing the Riolu's leg, her tails wagging.

"Pix! Vulpix! Pix! (Hi! I'm Fira!)" she said to him, playfully wagging her tails and lowering herself in a play bow. Clearly the young vulpix wanted to play. Luke walked over and smiled warmly, adjusting her back. Yup, this was it, he was to wait here for the others.

"Hiya. My name is Lucas, but everyone calls me Luke. And you are?" he asked the other trainer, smiling warmly ar her, extending his hand for a handshake.

We've only met once!


"Ah, my name is Suzanne!" Suzanne replied to the other trainer, Lucas, as she shook his hand. "Born in the heavens bane, selected by the gods themselves, I, Suzanne, will defeat the darkness of the road ahead of us and prove my self as a righteous heroine! Of course, I can not do that alone - for my partner, Excalibur will assist me on defeating evil-doers!"

"Rio!" (I hope there will be gummies as well!) cried Excalibur the Riolu, rubbing his tummy in culinary excitement.

"Luke, right?" addressed Suzanne. "Rule number three of the guide of the most legendary heroines - your friends are your best comrades! So Lucas, you have been chosen for this journey, have you not? Well! You and I shall be teammates of justice! For even the greatest of heroines can't do everything themselves, y'know? We will travel through Kanto, slaying the evil dragons of the yoll graveyard, and defeating the most evil of evil pokemon to make the children play with their ever lasting smiles! For as long as there is a single zit on the teenage face of JUSTICE, there will always be a cream that will heal all!"

"Luuuu... Riolu!" (Mmmm, creammmmmm... Like ice cream!)

Adrian Draegar -- A Short Distance from the PokeMart


"Master, why didn't you go in? We're late now." Sebastian Stone was both a servant and Adrian's close friend for years. It was a pity that they had to part at this point.

"I was assessing the situation. Besides, this "Bill" character is already tardy. Besides, this gives me room to make a good entrance if necessary." Adrian's intense blue eyes monitored the area again. He would miss his servants, Sebastian included. He was one of the very few who ever received the highest honor of being given the right to address him by his first name, but less be noticed, unlike the several people standing outside the PokeMart.

However, they were now in public, so it was "Sir" and "Stone" like it normally should be. "Alright, the area looks clean. I know my father's men were here the other day, and they cleared out the bums that are known to frequent the area. The only ones around this commoner's market are at least halfway respectable people."

There was little doubt that Alexander Draegar had his men bribe these people to leave for a period of two or three days, and doubtless they would all come back to this area just as penniless as they were when they had left. Either way it went, these things were of little consequence. "My parents told me that I'll have plenty of funds for my journey. How much did they put into my account?"

Sebastian shuffled around. "They said they put in a modest sum. They wanted to tell you that they put five million into your account. They say it's not much, but they reassured me that they'll send extra money as needed."

Modest sum? They even know what just five million can do out here? I'm filthy rich! Adrian restrained himself, and kept his voice level. "I think it'll be more than enough. From what I've seen from the report made on him, Bill might pack and run home at the first sign of trouble anyway, so it matters not. What about supplies?"

"Already taken care of. I've got suitable Pokeballs here for you, as well as food for both yourself and a full party in storage. Everything's been prepared for you. And here's the latest Pokegear. I heard that the common folk use it even more than other communications devices out there. It's an all-purpose device, but you'll be able to figure it all out in no time." Sebastian handed the device over, along with the Pokeballs. He also handed Adrian a very expensive, portable storage unit that stored materials into a convenient pocket-sized space. It was also a sphere like the Pokeballs, but it was colored and mark differently.

"I've already done my homeowork. I know how it works, and registered my parents in the thing already. I also had it encrypted with a password and an anti-theft function, compliments of Mr. Baker." Adrian kept his tone cool the whole time. "Is there anything I need to pick up from this market before I leave?"

"No sir. Everything is contained within that storage capsule, and the manufacturer assured us that these are the best Pokeballs they're able to produce for us." Sebastian shuffled around again. "You know how long you'll be gone? Everyone's going to miss you."

"Don't worry. I doubt it'll take too long, and I've already convinced my parents to take you along to meet me in the cities periodically, when I'm there and they've actually got free time." He adjusted his clothes, and prepared to leave. "I'll be back before you know it."

With that having been said, Adrian took up a casual stride and approached the small PokeMart. Having scouted the place from the a distance already, there wasn't much more to look at. He noticed a Bulbasaur sitting off to the side, noticing that the girl that was messing around with it obviously wasn't its trainer. Doesn't that guy know that he runs the risk of having it stolen? Idiot.

Having satisfied that the area was all clear for the moment, he stood off to the side, and released his Larvesta, who assumed her trainer's slightly prideful bearing. She surveyed the area with the same intense intelligence, and noted that there was absolutely nothing worth seeing here.

Adrian kept his voice down, so that he would escape notice for just a bit longer. "You're right. This place is a bit bland, but our presence was requested at this location. It wouldn't do to dismiss this person off the side. After all, this might be a highly respectable meeting place in his eyes."

"I doubt it. Compared with the markets we enjoyed at home, this looks like a squatter's hovel." The Larvesta was cold and openly judging as always.

"You've got to realize that not everyone can casually blow 10,000 on every shopping trip. Most carry only what they need to survive because it's all they can afford." He kept his voice low, but there was still no mistaking him for a very rich foreigner. His fashion and the very presence of a foreign Pokemon said it all.

"True... Where is this guy? And why is a commoner running late? It's not like them." She fidgeted, looking on the shelves. "And please tell me we won't have to see EVERY one of these markets in the region."

"I'm afraid so. We're not the only ones on this trip. For all I know, we're the only ones with ample funds to afford whatever we want. We're already well-supplied anyway, so money spent here is mostly just for snacks and trinkets." Adrian stood up at his full height, and made himself look more presentable, if that was at all possible.

"Sad day... Just don't catch any Pokemon more used to digging in trash heaps than anything else, alright? If you do that, I'll try not to complain for the rest of this journey." Larvesta groomed herself to look as brilliant as always, as Adrian nodded his affirmative.

"I'll even take you to Celadon City's best mall and have a shopping trip just to get the dust off our feet." The two smiled, and then fell silent and waited impatiently for their charge to arrive. They did take notice of the small gathering nearby, and they were presumably also waiting for Bill. However, Adrian paid them no mind as always.

A Carefee Heart- Heroes!

"Ah, my name is Suzanne! Born in the heavens bane, selected by the gods themselves, I, Suzanne, will defeat the darkness of the road ahead of us and prove my self as a righteous heroine! Of course, I can not do that alone - for my partner, Excalibur will assist me on defeating evil-doers!" the girl said, shaking his hand wildly. Well, Suzanne was certainly cheerful. And he energy was rubbing off on Luke too. He found himself smiling as she shook his hand, and Fira yipped at the Riolu that had seemingly ignored her completely before bounding over to the two trainers and the bulbasaur, her tails swishing happily. The riolu was barking something too, rubbing his belly. But Suzanne wasn't done yet. Before the boy could get a word in edgewise she was continuing.

"Luke, right? Rule number three of the guide of the most legendary heroines - your friends are your best comrades! So Lucas, you have been chosen for this journey, have you not? Well! You and I shall be teammates of justice! For even the greatest of heroines can't do everything themselves, y'know? We will travel through Kanto, slaying the evil dragons of the yoll graveyard, and defeating the most evil of evil pokemon to make the children play with their ever lasting smiles! For as long as there is a single zit on the teenage face of JUSTICE, there will always be a cream that will heal all!" she said eagerly. Well, she was certainly very descriptive. He nodded along with her words, chuckling and laughing happily. She was very silly. But something about her attitude was contagious. Luke couldn't help but grin as he bent down and picked up Fira, who immediately leaned her head over to give the girl a friendly lick on the nose.

"Yeah, We're gonna be great team mates! I can feel it! Um... Yeah, we're gonna beat the bad guys! It's the right thing to do!" he said in agreement with her. "Me and Fira are gonna help too! I brought plenty of food and drink, and even some stuff just in case our pokemon get sick. We're gonna be great heroes!" he added afterwards, not nearly as... Hyper as she, but just as enthusiastic. Who knew what sort of trouble they were going to get into.

"Vulpix! (We're gonna do it!)" the fox barked in agreement. Lukas nodded happily and rubbed Fira's head affectionately. This was going to be a very fun trip, he just knew it. With someone as crazy as Suzanne as his friend, he just knew that this journey would be filled with laughter and fun and a lot of exploration.

"You know, i can't wait to meet our other companions! I bet we'll all have a lot of fun exploring and helping people and learning more about pokemon. I can't wait to get started!" he said happily, grinning at his new companion. Yes, going out and learning new things, helping people and seeing all of Kanto. That would be very cool!

(OOC: Sorry i haven't posted in a while. got busy)

A Carefree heart- The Journey begins!

Luke grinned at the others and Fira yapped joyfully, leaping out of his arms and going around to sniff at the other pokemon present. He smiled warmly, but before he could say anything to the newcomers, Bill came out of the pokemart. He seemed very friendly, albeit a bit eccentric. He happily adressed everyone present and then began talking about the pokedex he had, finally followed by their travel plans. Mt. Moon huh?

"Oh I know a lot about Mt. Moon! My dad works in the museum! He said that there were a bunch of cool fossils inside the mountain. And that there are even pokemon from the moon in there! Er... I've never seen one though. But if he said it it's gotta be true, right?" the boy asked, accepting the pokeballs and the potions Bill offered. He set the three on his belt, marveling at how new they looked. His were a few years old, but at least the standard pokeball had not changed in the last few years. He put the potions in his bag and thought about it.

"i've got plenty of food and first aid stuff too. So don't worry about that. I can't wait to get started! See new places, meet new pokemon. I'm sure all of us will be really good friends!" he said with a smile. Then he thought a moment. What about the gyms? He wondered... Maybe he could challenge the gyms, but he doubted Fira would have an easy time... But that was how one extended their journey, right? It never hurt to ask.

"Um... Mr. Bill, what about the gym challenge? Will we be taking that?" he asked softly, bending over and picking up Fira, who had returned to his side. She licked his face playfully and swished her tails. That was when Luke realized he didn't really know where the gyms even were. Wasn't there one here? Meh... Maybe he should come back to it.

Time for the Spotliiiiight~

"Hello, I suppose you're here for this Bill guy, too?" another boy said who came along. A couple of other people shortly joined afterward, but, Suzanne focused on what was important - gaining more allies.

"Aha! Yes indeed, my new virtuous friend!" Suzanne replied. "The moon tonight is but filled with the sought off destiny for all of us, it seems! Ah; that's a Mudkip right there, is it not? It's quite cute, and heroic! Very nice, my prestigious ally! A very good member for our potential justice group!"

Soon, Suzanne noticed that the Pokemon Mart doors opened, and out came a male who had a very.. iconic hairstyle. No mistake about it - it was Bill. He greeted everyone and made a small gesture on who Suzanne was especially excited.

"But of course!" said Suzanne. "A heroine is never idle! I have to be prepared to go out in the world, shouting, WELCOME TO PAIN! As I deliver my swift justice upon those who defy the way of peace!" She then turned to her Rilou, and back at Bill. "Which brings me to my next point. Rule number 4 of the guide to the most legendary heroines: Set upon the world, as it set upon yourself! I plan to go around this region, training myself and fully put myself as a full pledge heroine! I know that with my legendary partner, Excalibur the Riolu, there isn't a feat that we can't accomplish!"

"Lu!" (We'll eat yummy things as well!) added Rilou.

Bill then pulled out a couple of items from the bad - a pokedex, a few pokeballs, and a few potions. All essential items on a heroines quest, Suzanne thought. "Ah, while these items aren't that legendary," said Suzanne, "I'll gladly take them upon the quest! Thank you for this opportunity by the way; I hereby make you a full member of my legendary justice brigade! I'm.. still working on the name. While our time together may be short, let's make it heroic!"

Luke traveled with the others onto the new route, smiling and conversing happily, now that his question was answered. He heard Fira barking at something, and turned to look, seeing her tails streaming into the tall grass.

"Hey wait!" he called, taking a step away from the others. Then he turned back to look at them and grinned.

"I'll meet you guys at Mt. Moon ok! I gotta get Fira!" he said with a happy smile before he raced after his pokemon. He pushed through the grass and looked around, hearing his pokemon yipping and barking with excitement. He stopped and thought a moment, then nearly jumped when a hand touched his shoulder.

"Hey kid! You look like a rookie too! We gotta battle now!" said a boy maybe a few months older than him said. He stopped and looked at the brown haired youngster, who grinned playfully, a small purple rodent perched on his shoulder. Luke smiled warmly at him.

"I can't right now, sorry!" he said, but the boy shook his head no. He seemed set.

"Nuh-uhh! Trainers are supposed to battle! And you gotta be a trainer, your in tall grass! Come on, get yer pokemon out and let's battle!" he said. Luke began to panic, and shook his head again.

"I-I can't, my pokemon got excited and ran off into the grass! I gotta find her!" he said urgently. The boy nodded and crossed his arms, smiling back. His light brown eyes were friendly and he wore a goofy smile.

"Awright! I'll help you find her then we can battle! She a red dog thing?" he said. Luke nodded, and the boy stuck his hand out, and Luke promptly shook it. "I'm Kyle! Me and Ratatta are gonna go straight to the top!"

"Nice to meetcha! I'm Lucas, but you can call me Luke!" Luke said. With that the two trainers set off to find Fira, and when they finally did, she was pawwing and barking... at a yellow rock... But... Luke's pokedex began to buzz, and he pulled it out and flipped it open.

"Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokemon. It digs deep burrows to live in. When in danger, it rolls up it's body to withstand attacks." the mechanical voice said. Luke thought a moment and called Fira to his side. Kyle whistled and clapped a hand on Luke's shoulder, grinning happily. He seemed excited for some reason.

"Dude! You gotta catch that sandshrew! I bet your vulpix can take it! I'll even give you one of my pokeballs if you ain't got one! Come on, it's EASY!" Kyle said. Luke blinked and smiled. Well, why not? Fira certainly seemed eager. Suddenly, Sandshrew popped out of it's little ball, now that he wasn't being pestered anymore, and peered at the boys curiously.

"No thanks, i have my own pokeballs. But ok! You want to try, right Fira? You want to bring your new friend with us?" he said, petting the vulpix, who barked eagerly. And Sandshrew didn't seem to be in the mood to run. Maybe he was fascinated by the humans, or perhaps he wanted to see if he was better than Fira? Who knew. Regardless, this would be Fira and Luke's first time working as a team. Luke grinned and pointed at the mouse. Then he paused... Fira's moves were not exactly the best for beating the ground type. Ember, Roar, Iron Tail, and Tail Whip.

"Tail Whip Fira!" he called. As she did in practice, Fira barked and yipped, playfully wagging her tails. Sandshrew had a similar idea, and he slapped a ton of sand in Fira's face. She yipped, startled, and shook her head, trying to see. Luke frowned, and shouted, "Iron Tail! You can do it!"

Fira growled and charged, her tails glowing silver, and she leapt, spinning around and swinging her tails... Only to spectularly pass the mouse and land behind him. Sandshrew gave her a curious look, and curled into a ball. Luke thought he was doing what the dex entry said, but he was startled that this was a move! The tiny mouse began spinning and charged at Fira, hitting her and knocking her over as he passed. She got back to her feet, ready to keep going. The attack hadn't seemed that strong... Why was she panting so hard?

"Rollout is a Rock Type move! It's Super Effective on your vulpix! Come on, he's going to knock her out if you don't do something!" Kyle said. Luke saw he was right, and that Sandshrew was coming around for another pass. He knew about type matchups... He had studied them in school... How had he forgotten something as basic as that! He knew it wouldn't do much, but he called out, "Fira! Use Ember!"

The vulpix bowed, bracing herself as Sandshrew approached, firing a torrent of tiny little flames, all of which missed! Seriously! She was being so unlucky! Sandshrew wasn't, and he bowled her over again with his increased momentum. And he was coming around for another pass, moving even faster. Luke thought fast... Wait! Iron Tail! Steel was Super Effective on Rock! Maybe he could have Fira bounce Sandshrew off of her tails!

"Fira, use Iron Tail..." he said softly, waiting as Sandshrew closed in. Fira panted softly, listening intently to her trainer. Sandshrew was close, too close now. "Now!" he said. Fira leapt beautifully into the air, her tails glowing, and she spun, the mouse getting hit by the tails, and flung into a rock. Fira yapped weakly, and Sandshrew shook his head, groaning. Fira's eyes seemed to be clear now. She growled, a bit more intent on winning now that she had scored a hit.

"Great job Fira! You can do it! Iron Tail again!" Luke called. Sandshrew opened his mouth, and a barrage of purple needles flew out, hitting Fira as she charged, making her yowl and whine. She swung her tails, and they hit a rock and busted it, though Sandshrew got out of the way. Luke frowned. "Let's go with Ember!" he shouted.

"You're lucky! That was Poison Sting! Your Vulpix could have been poisoned! Poison would make her faint really fast in the condition she's in!" Kyle explained. Luke nodded. Then he had a sudden idea, as Fira began to blast the shrew with flames, only for him to curl into a ball and soak up most of the hits. Then Sandshrew began to fire Poison Sting at her again.

"Fira! Use your Ember attack to knock the needles out of the air!" Luke called. Fira growled, and opened fire, the flames and the needles colliding in the air and not hitting the pokemon. Kyle looked very impressed, and gave Luke a thumbs up. Luke grinned happily and knelt down.

"Ok, go get him with Iron Tail!" he said with a very exccited and eager voice. Fira barked an acknowledgement and charged, the startled shrew curling up into a ball. Fira leapt and landed gracefully behind him and swung her tails, knocking the sandshrew rolling.

"Good girl! Keep it up, don't let him think!" Luke called encouragingly. Fira chased the rolling ball, using Iron Tale again, knocking him rolling into a different direction. The Sandshrew hit a rock and collapsed on the ground, gurgling softly, dazed and confused.

"Your pokeball dude! You gotta catch it now!" Kyle said eagerly. Luke nodded and pulled a pokeball off of his belt.

"Go! POKEBALL!" he called, hurling it as hard as he could, hitting the Sandshrew. It sucked the pokemon in and fell to the ground, shaking and wobbling. Then, it dinging. Fira immediately pounced on the ball and picked it up in her mouth, positively prancing as she brought it to her trainer, despite how tired and worn out she was. Luke grinned and took it, holding it up triumphantly.

"I caught a Sandshrew! I'm gonna name you... Um... Quake!" he said, naming him as he had Fira, after a spell he liked from a game he had played long ago. Which left him curious... How was he going to beat the Cerulean Gym with a Fire and a Ground Type?

"So... Can we battle now? I'm really psyched after seeing that awesome catch! And so is Ratatta!" Kyle said eagerly.

"Ratatta!"

The Hour of Houndour-Part 1

Location:


A teenager stands in front of a pokemart tapping his foot and looking at his watch trying to keep calm.
"Oh man where is he?" Leeroy exclaimed as he looked at his watch. "Wait a second, this watch has the wrong time on it daylight savings ended a week ago!" Leeroy said in an angry tone "Okay then where could they be? not in Viridian Forest because that place is easy to get lost in hmm maybe they are on route 3" Leeroy decided before sprinting off into route 3. never to be seen again
As Leeroy (I will refer to him as Lee from now on because it is tiring spelling his name the unconventional way instead of Leroy) was looking around for the mysterious man that had requested his help, but before he could make any progress a Trainer ran over to him yelling "It's time to fight, you and me NOW!" this trainer had a net slung over his shoulder and was wearing a hat that had clearly gone out of style before its creation. "I am Bug Catcher Colton, and I will be the end of your pokemon journey" "Yeah I understand let's get this over with." as Lee finished he realized that this trainer was a bug catcher and he started to worry.


Bug Catcher Colton


"Go Ace, burn this kid to ash!" Lee yelled throwing the red pokeball trying to hide his fear for Lee knew that if the enemy knew his fear they could use it to their advantage. "Go Caterpie!" The bug catcher yelled, "Use Ember Ace" Lee yelled before the black dog shot out a fire hitting the caterpie before it could jump out of the way.

"Hmph, Go weedle and use string shot!" Colton yelled before the weedle shot out a web hitting Ace's legs and slowing him down considerable "Ember destroy that bug!" "Grr" the houndour replied in acknowledgement before shooting another flame at the weedle resulting in the weedles defeat.

"ARGH! Go Caterpie, this is my prized pokemon he is in the top percentage of caterpie's!!! use tackle and then string shot" Colton screamed in fury, the caterpie did as his master requested. The caterpie hit the houndour with so much force he was pushed further than he should have but before the houndour could react a web came from no where securing him to the ground. "Houndour wait for the caterpie to close in before burning it to death!" Lee yelled in hope but the caterpie was to fast and to strong Ace was hit with yet another powerful tackle but this time the webs were broken "Go now use ember on the grass surrounding the caterpie before going in for the final kill" Lee screamed trying not to get to scared from the bug pokemon "Grr *yes that sounds... Dashing*" Ace did just that the caterpie was surrounded and out of the flames it could see a shadowed figure walking through the fire...

Ace stepped out of the flames with a smile even though he could barely stand, he continued to walk over to the caterpie before using ember one last time. "Return Caterpie" Calton yelled "good job, what was your name again, Leeroy wasn't it?" "yes, yes it was your caterpie is a powerful pokemon you're lucky to have such a thing, well I gotta go now. Be seeing 'ya!" Lee said as he walked over to his houndour who was barely standing before his knee's gave way and he collapsed "Oh no we better get you to a Pokemon center before trying to find Bill again" Lee whispered to his faithful companion who was fast asleep.

@ chuckleslucifer - great beginning! Just, please don't center your text. It gets tiresome to read it that way :) And also, splitting your text up into several smaller paragraphs also helps the readability.
