An Orphan's Dream

FINALLY

I was wondering when you were gonna update this. I love it. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what happens next.:D
 
Yes you can merge them, thanks Astinus :).

Oh, and I submitted a one-shot for the FFC (Birth) this month, but it got pushed to the second page. It's a bit short so if you want it redone before you link-o-fy it, tell me.
 
Not a bad fanfic at all! Keep up the good work, Ben.

Also, do you do what I do and write the Chapters in Word Pad or Microsoft Word?
 
I write 'em in Word... makes it seem like I'm writing a lot when it's just a small page or so though :).

Well, thanks for the review. Glad people are starting to like my work :D!
 
Yeah, I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel bad when I post it here and it comes up short. But, it is fun to add on to something you enjoy writing. I commend you for continuously writing the Chapters when no one replied to it.

Also, can't wait for next Part! *Sent you a "Friendship" Request and Subscribed to your thread*

 
Well, thank you for that :). I felt like my work here was being read... and liked, to a point, but it's refreshing to see a small group of people that likes the stories I write :).

I'm in the process of writing a shorter story here (about 3-5 chapters) called Early Summer's Fright, so if you want to read that when I update it, it can hold you over until I update this story again :)... if that made any sense at all XD!
 
Chapter 3 Part C

I finally got around to writing the last part of this chapter. Yes, it still follows the story line for Johto a bit... but I'll try and change that soon enough :). Hope you enjoy this next installment of An Orphan's Dream.


Chapter 3 Part C- An Eggscellent Endeavor!

"Ah, yes, you two can sit here." The man pointed over to two twine chairs in the corner. Brady and Lance made their way over to them and sat down.

"I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself. As you probably can guess, I am Mr. Pokemon. I study strange things about the world, and I find anything weird, I send those objects to Professor Elm." He walked over to a gigantic glass case and opened it, revealing many different fossils and ancient artifacts. "Ah, here we go." He reached for a skull of what seemed to be a Pterodactyl.

"Woah…" Brady and Lance said quietly, their eyes fixed on the object.

"This, we received from our good friends in Pewter. They wanted me to examine it and send back a sample to Cinnabar." Mr. Pokemon carefully placed it back into the case and secured it gently. "Yes, I get help from all over the world… you never know what… or who could pop up next!"

As Mr. Pokemon said those words, an old man appeared at the entrance to the room. "Ahem… forgetting someone?"

"Oh, I'm sorry Professor. Kids, this is Professor Oak of Pallet Town. He works in the Kanto region, not too far from New Bark. He assists me in some… strange work, if you will."

Professor Oak gave a small smile, a tiny spark of light reflected off of his black eyes. His old, grey hair was ruffled in all directions. Dark circles formed underneath his eyes, which suggested that he'd been up a while doing tough work. "Yes, strange work indeed. Now, you two, are you Pokemon trainers of some sort?"

"Yes, but not really." Brady explained. "We just got our Pokemon earlier today, so we're really new at this"

"Hmm, I see." Oak said, his voice starting to trail off. "You know… Erm… Brady, was it?"

"Yes sir." Brady said, wondering what he was about to say.

"You kind of remind me of an old trainer I used to know, ten years old, dark hair, a great kid. He was so excited to get his Pokemon that he overslept the first day! He was stuck with a very disobedient Pokemon, but he over came great odds and earned the right to be called the Kanto League Champion… ah the memories. Maybe some day you two will face each other."

"Yeah, right. Me against a League Champ?"

Oak gave a small shrug. "Hey! You never know!"

Oak stared at Brady and Lance, as if in deep thought. "Speaking of leagues, have you two registered yet?"

"Registered? What?" Lance asked, very confused.

"You know, have you gotten a Pokedex?"

"No…"
"Well, here. I should have a few spares and… there." The Professor pulled out two small, red, rectangular objects. "These things here register all data on any species of Pokemon you have seen or caught. Also, they're your ID pass into the Pokemon League, never lose them!" He handed one to each of the boys.

"Cool…" Lance murmured as he examined the device.

Mr. Pokemon clapped his hands together and gave a deep sigh. "Well Professor, it's been a long day. Maybe we should get these boys on their way."

"Yes, no need to keep you two up all night on the first day."

"My Abra can teleport you back to Professor Elm's lab, where you can get a good night's sleep. Don't worry, this package will stay safe here." Mr. Pokemon said, patting the brown box.

Brady yawned then gave a reply. "Yeah, let's go Lance. I'm getting so tired…"
Mr. Pokemon opened a drawer to his desk and pulled out what seemed like an oversized egg. "Here, give this to Professor Elm when you see him, OK?"

"What is it?" Lance asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that. He will know what it is as soon as you give it to him. We've been talking about it for months now!"

Lance took the egg and placed it carefully into his bag. "Sure, we can do this…"

"Good, now Abra. Use teleport!"

"AB!"

A gold and purple Pokemon jumped up from behind the desk, nearly making Brady scream. It's cat like body stretched out, and a beam of white light engulfed the two boys, making the room disappear one inch at a time. Seconds later, they landed in Professor Elm's lab.

"Oh, hello. Back so soon?" asked Elm, a bit surprised at their arrival.

"Yeah, we delivered the package in time." Brady said, rubbing his back after the impact. "Professor Oak was there, he gave us these things."

Brady pulled out the Pokedex and showed it to Professor Elm. "Oh, so my old mentor was there. At least now you two can partake in Gym battles all over Johto! What fun… Now you don't have to do random chores for me!"

Lance got up and reached into his bad for the egg. "Oh, and Mr. Pokemon gave us this… thing to give to you."

"Hmm, what is--?"

The sight of the egg made Professor Elm jump back.

"Is that…? No way…"

"He said that you would know what it is." Lance said, handing it over to Elm.

"Yes, I think I do. There's no time to explain it now, you two should be going to bed. Here, there's some extra room over there." The Professor pointed over to two spare cots lying near the edge of the lab.

"Thanks Professor Elm…" Brady said with another yawn.

"Anytime boys. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to examine this egg a bit more." Elm left the room, leaving the boys by themselves.

"Well, I'm beat. Good night Lance."

"Yeah, me too. Hey, Brady."

"Yeah?"

"Where's our first Gym battle our whatever?"

"I think Violet City was what the Professor said… can't remember." Brady dozed off without another word.

Hmm… I wonder what the Gym will be like, Lance thought to himself, as their first day of travel came to a close.


~~~End of Chapter 3~~~
