1-1 The Day of New Beginnings:
Team:
Current Inventory:
The young morning sun blazed overhead Izzy, who had been walking for a few hours, suddenly stopped and looked around. The area around where he was standing was sparsely populated by trees, though the rest of the path was covered in a meadow. Izzy looked down at his traveling companion, Quirk and said, "Hey Quirk, this looks like a great place to rest for a moment, ready to take a Breather?"
Quirk looked up at Izzy cheerfully, replying with a positive, "Rattata".
They sat down near a small cluster of trees; Izzy began to rummage through his bag. He pulled out, an energy bar, as well as his canteen. Breaking the bar in half, Izzy gave one half to Quirk and finished the other half himself. They sat there, taking in the scenery; this mountain road was teaming with life; from the lively meadow, to the occasional Hoppip floating casually by, and the small bands of Marill playing about in the grass, there were even some Pokémon that he didn't know wandering around. The Day couldn't have been better for a hike like this, Izzy thought to himself.
Izzy was on his way to a research facility, located at the end of this mountain path. It was called the Cianwood Research Facility, home to a professor Lyra; Lyra had posted flyers requesting the help of trainers, Izzy Read one of those flyers, and decided to travel from Azalea town to assist the professor. His trip had been a few weeks long, he was nearing his objective. Izzy knew that the trip was far from over though; there was research that needed to be done, places to be found, friends to make.
As he sat there staring out into the wilderness, Izzy took hold of Quirk's Friend Ball. He looked down at the Phrase written on the back, and as he did, Izzy began to think about the Incident on the ferry ride to Cianwood; the figure who had stood before Izzy and quirk only to vanish right before their eyes. The phrase, "Xatu" that the mysterious figure had said right before it left, only served to confuse Izzy more. Izzy looked back up, Quirk had nestled himself on the top of Izzy's backpack, Izzy decided to let the thought go for now. Perhaps it had all just been imagined.
Putting the ball back onto his belt, Izzy stood up and leaned over to tap Quirk on the head; "It's time to get going" he said, as he went to put on his pack.
"Are you riding or walking?" Izzy asked Quirk, sure that the answer was going to be riding, began to crouch to allow Quirk to get on top.
"Rattata" replied Quirk, shaking his head no.
"Hmm, well okay then" Izzy pulled out his map, "It looks like we just have a few kilometers to go, we should be there soon."
They once again set off, hiking up the mountain side, enjoying the light breeze blowing through the cliffs. An hour passed by, Izzy, could finally make out a small mountainside village. He noticed that there were several different Pokémon running around as well, he had never seen any of these Pokémon before. It was amazing, that there were so many things he had yet to see.
A small, light grey Pokémon, that looked like a cat wandered up, and bumped into Izzy.
"Espurr?" It questioned, looking as if it wasn't sure what to do. Quirk quickly retreated, warning Izzy with a faint hiss.
"Aww It's ok little buddy", Izzy said beginning to extend his hand so he could pat the Pokémon on its head; disregarding Quirks warning.
"We're not here to hurt yo…" The small Pokémon lifted its ears, just then an invisible force knocked Izzy off his feet, and the Pokémon ran away.
"Well… that… was… different…" Izzy dizzily said, still lying on his back. Quirk stood over Izzy's head, looking at him with an, "I told you so" expression.
After a few minutes, Izzy managed to stand back up, as he did, he began to look around the small village. There was what looked to be an Inn near the research center, Benches and Berry trees were scattered everywhere. In the distance, Izzy could see the small Pokémon that knocked him off of his feet. Maybe we ought to avoid that little critter until we talk to professor Lyra, he thought to himself. Izzy decided that after that, he would hurry to straight to the research center, and talk with Lyra.
As he walked through the village, he could see that the village was slowly being reclaimed by nature. This was the exact opposite of the Cianwood that he had passed through the day before. The village was bustling with activity, with both people and wild Pokémon traveling about. A group of small bear like Pokémon gathered around a small berry bush, picking Oran berries to eat. He made it a good distance into town asking various people directions on the way.
Soon he stood at the door of the research lab; Izzy looked at Quirk and said, "Well… here goes nothing." He opened the door, looking around as he walked in. Researchers were everywhere, working diligently to complete whatever work they had been assigned to.
Izzy looked at Quirk and said, "Looks like you should ride up top"
Izzy crouched allowing Quirk to get on top. Quirk took his usual seat and curled up. Izzy then turned his attention to figuring out where to go. He asked a researcher who was walking by at that moment, the researcher pointer to a room near the back of the building.
"Probably Meeting room 3b, that's the room Lyra usually uses." The scientist said, with a great deal of boredom in his voice.
Izzy headed to the conference room. Opening the door, he looked around the room; there were several trainers who had arrived before him, probably for the same reason. Izzy found a spot near the only table in the room. He crouched and took off his backpack; careful not to disturb Quirk, he then continued to stand. When he looked at the table, he saw a row of small devices he's never seen before, as well as a row of a device that he was pretty sure was called "Pokégear". He had heard about them in ads and commercials, but he never actually saw one in real life.
Nothing to do but wait now Izzy thought, knowing that professor Lyra would probably be there sooner or later.
