Chapter 1-The Gym Leader's Son
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Professor Gary Oak ruffled his outrageous, spiky, amber hair as he looked ahead. On the coast line, which was about a mile away, was supposed to be his next great 'adventure'. He was on the seas of Route 222 in Sinnoh, headed towards the Hotel Grand Lake. Gary would stay there over night before he conducted experiments on the water Pokemon of Lake Valor. Gary looked down at his Blastoise, who growled back at him.
"I know boy, only a bit longer," Gary assured.
Blastoise was his companion from the start, and was one of Gary's best friends. Also with him on the Sinnoh journey was his Umbreon, whom he also shared a close bond with. His newly evolved Electivire had stayed back with his grandfather, Professor Samuel Oak. The bulky, electric Pokemon had developed a bond with one of Ketchum's Pokemon.
Gary stepped onto the loamy sand on the coast of the beach and returned his Blastoise. He was finally here, now to check into the Hotel. He made his way up towards the grassland, when a young boy approached him.
The boy was around 5'5, maybe 13 years old, and had neatly cut blond hair. He wore a white hoodie and brown shorts and had a pokeball in his hand. The young trainer's expression was powerful; he had a look of determination on his face. Gary wondered as to why this kid was following him, and then he got his answer.
"Hey, I see you're a trainer. Let's battle! I just caught some new Pokemon," the boy pestered.
"I'm sorry young man, but I don't have the time," Gary explained.
The kid was obviously a fairly new trainer; he was probably from around here. The boy reminded him of Ash, always wanting to battle and eager to meet new people. Gary began to walk away but the boy followed him.
"Come on, let's go!" the boy yelped.
He released two pokemon, both rather small. One was a petite cat type with large ears and blue and black fur. It had yellow stripes on it and yellow star on its tail. The other, which he recognized as a Wooper, was a blue creature that had a flat tail and no arms. There were purple antennas protruding from its head. The Wooper bit at Gary's leg.
"That's how you want to play it? Fine kid, I'll beat you with one pokemon," Gary snapped back.
Gary was frustrated with the kid's nuisance. It was time to end the annoyance now. Gary reached for Umbreon's pokeball and then released the black moon creature. The Umbreon stood on its hind legs and then leaped into the air.
"Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!" Gary commanded.
The Umbreon shot a wave of dark energy down at the Wooper that stood before him. The Wooper flew back as Umbreon.
"Shinx, use Thunder!" the boy yelled.
"Umbreon, Light Screen!" Gary said.
The other one of the kid's Pokemon, which Gary now recognized as a Shinx, let out a burst of Thunder. The powerful electrical attack was at once subdued when it struck the wall of light that Gary's Umbreon had created. Umbreon shifted behind Shinx.
"Sucker Punch!" Gary screamed.
Umbreon raised its left paw, and stuck the thunder cat in the back, full force. The Shinx was down for the count. Gary sneered, he knew that Sucker Punch had a high critical hit ratio, and that had come into effect right now.
"Ugh! Wooper, Mud Shot!" the boy, obviously regretting making Gary mad, ordered.
The Wooper opened its mouth and released a thick shot of mud. The spiraling mass of water and dirt sped at Umbreon, who easily dodged the attack. Umbreon was faster than anything this kid had in his arsenal.
"Umbreon, end this with Pursuit!" Gary shouted with vigor.
The Umbreon dashed at the Wooper, and downed it in one fell strike. The kid was stunned. He fell to his knees and returned his Pokemon to their pokeballs. Umbreon jumped onto Gary's shoulder and Gary stroked his magnificent, jet-black fur.
"Good work Umbreon. You showed that kid a lesson," Gary smiled.
"Hey that was incredible! Can you teach me how to battle like that?" the boy shouted at Gary.
Gary sweatdropped and sighed. This seemed to be a no win situation. What was up with this kid? He gets brutally beaten after hassling him to begin with and expects Gary to teach him? Gary opened his mouth to decline the offer when the boy said,
"My father's rich. He could pay for whatever you need," the boy said.
Gary raised his eyebrows. Whatever he needed, eh? This little twerp's father could pay off a massive research grant for him and all he had to do was train this little brat. Gary pondered the new offer, but it honestly wasn't a hard decision.
"I'll consider it, but first, I'll have to meet your father," Gary said.
"Fine, but we have to go back to Pastoria City, where my family lives," the boy explained, "By the way, the name is Ben."
Gary nodded. He could check into the Hotel anytime, he felt this money was more important right now. Ben turned and began to lead the way, while Gary followed. Umbreon purred and curled up against Gary's head on his shoulder. Gary reached into his professor's jacket and pulled out a piece of paper.
'Dear Log', he began to write….
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ben and Gary approached the dampened city of Pastoria after about 2 hours of walking. The moon was high in the sky at that point. Gary buttoned up his white lab coat as it was getting chilly.
Gary bent down and touched the soil of the ground. It was predominantly the kind found at marshes. After all, this was the home of he famous Pastoria Great Marsh. Umbreon woke from its peaceful sleep and nudged Gary. It purred loudly and growled in the direction of the marsh.
Gary knew something must be wrong. Umbreon always did that when she sensed danger. Ben led Gary up to the gym and then stopped there.
"This is it, prepare to meet my father," Ben said.
Ben pushed open the doors of the gym and walked in. Inside, there was a series of planks and stone structures. The place was flooded with water and they appeared to be elevated. Ben pulled a switch and the water in the gym emptied out through hole drilled into the side of the wall. This was clearly a complicated puzzle for new trainers to solve.
An old man, about 50ish, approached the two. He was wearing bizarre blue overalls that were designed to look like he was a fish. The man was wearing a mask that covered his face and had two crazy stalks of white hair protruding from the side of his head.
"Sadly, this is my father, the famous Crasher Wake," Ben sighed. He cupped his hand over Gary's ear and whispered, "I know, he looks ridiculous."
Gary chuckled at the comment. But the boy was right; his father did look ridiculous in that costume. Gary wasn't expecting this is what the master of water Pokemon would look like. Gary put out a hand to for Crasher Wake to shake, which the much wiser man did.
"Dad, this is Gary Oak, and he agreed to let me go with him to learn more about Pokemon," Ben explained.
Crasher Wake nodded and said, "Yes, yes. My boy does need some serious training. He's picked on quite a few times for his battle skills. Now, I assume you'll want something in return."
"Your son promised me a research grant, sir," Gary voiced.
"Ah, well I can do that for you young man," Wake said, "But research? Why a professor at such a young age? Your not Samuel's son are you?"
"No, I'm his grandfather, I never met my father," Gary spoke.
"Hmm. I'm sorry. On to more pressing matters, to start out for the training, I would go to the Great Marsh. It would be beneficial to you and the boy," Wake suggested.
"Alright, let's go Ben," Gary said.
Gary and Ben left the gym, and immediately headed for the Marsh. Ben could go anywhere in the city that he wanted this late at night, because he was the gym leader's son.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ben, is there any reason your father would want us to come out here so late at night?" Gary asked.
"Yeah, I'll show you," Ben said.
They hopped on the transport train inside the Marsh and Ben programmed it to go to field 6. The two were there within minutes. They stepped out and Gary took note of his surroundings. There where trees and bushes as far as the eye could see. The ground was very wet and damp, and there where tiny lakes everywhere. Croagunk and Marill frolicked in the grasslands. It was the Safari Zone from Fuchsia all over again.
Ben again led Gary in trek for what seemed like miles up to a hilltop. On top of a cliff that rested on the side of a hill, a Pokemon stood triumphantly. It had beautiful silver fur and striking red eyes. A black fin stuck out from the side of its head. Gary recognized the Pokemon from his journeys in Hoenn. The Pokemon was Absol, bringer of disaster.
"Dad would bring me out here sometimes just to look at the elegant Pokemon; he only comes out at night. It seems impossible for a Pokemon like this to be in the Marsh, but it hasn't been caught because no trainer has ever seen it but my father. Or at least this Absol," Ben explained.
"What's unique about this Absol?" Gary questioned.
"It has a scar on its left eye, Dad gave it to him when Absol battled my dad's famous Floatzel," Ben pointed out.
"You seem to have a lot of respect for your father," Gary guessed.
Ben flicked his hair back as the wind passed through him.
"I envy him. I want to be like him. I want to be a powerful trainer so bad!" Ben broke out.
This kid really was like Ash, more so than Gary had thought to begin with. However, Gary couldn't help but feel bad that he had to live in Crasher Wake's shadow. Gary could relate; he was always 'Professor Oak's grandson', never just 'Gary Oak'.
"I'll help you be a good trainer, I promise," Gary smiled.
Umbreon growled again. That feeling was coming back again. Gary reached into his bag and clutched Blastoise's pokeball; he was ready for a fight if he had to.
Just then, about 20 figures, all dressed in black, emerged from the bushes. They're uniforms all matched, each with a large red 'R' emblazoned on the front.
"Just come quietly Gary Oak, and we won't hurt the kid," one yelled.
"Team Rocket," Gary murmured, "Ben, stay behind me!"
Gary released Blastoise from his pokeball. Looks like Gary had needed him after all. But how did Team Rocket get here? And what could they want with Gary? He could only hope he could fight his way out of this…..
