Hero of the Day (Trainer RP) (PG 13+)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Travis, travelling alone, was quite agile and quick. He was within minutes, far outside of Pallet Town. Yeah, Pallet Town wass still in sight, but it was far away. Travis looked back, inaled, and exhaled.

The air was sweet. The air of the wild was breath taking, and Travis thought the very sweetness it gave would make him pass out.

They had just reached the top of a hill, some trees providing some shade when Travis looked behind. Gill was starting to trail behind.

"Gill you okay?" Travis asked waling over. Gill was sweating.

"You need a break don't you?"
"Squirtle..." Gill nodded.
"Well, don't worry. I am not the guy whose gonna keep you on your feet all day. Not until we both get stronger at least. Don't you worry. Jut a few feet ahead is a nice little area we can sit for a while, have some lunch, and get rested up before heading off again. How's that sound?"
Gill's spirit lifted, and Gill smiled and nodded. "Squirtle!"
"It's just up ahead, let's go." Travis didn't pick Gill up as, he didn't know if he'd yet earned that trust yet. Gill however had the strength to move up to the area Travis had just described, he found a comfortable place and collapsed. Travis also sat down. He removed his backpack, and took out some random food items. It was too hot to cook something, so he'd just do something simple.

"Gill, want some apples? They're from the backyard of my grandparents house. They're unlike any apples I've ever had. They're...I don't know how to describe them they're so good. Here, catch."
Travis tossed an apple at Gill. Gill caught it, sniffed it, then bit into it. Travis saw Gill's eyes widen in awe as he tasted the apple. The apple had soothed Gill's inner soul in a way. Travis' granparents had an apple tree in their back, and the apples that came off were very soothing to the soul. Travis didn't know why or care why. They were good.
Travis began eating one of his own, when he thought he heard a sound come from a nearby bush. He stopped eating, as did Gill. "Gill you hear something?"

Gill had just finished his apple, and stood up, as he had heard something. "Be ready for anything Gill. This could be our first battle..."

As if on cue, a Ratatta jumped from the bushes. Fangs were bared and headed for Gill's arm. "Gill, watch out!"

Gill dove out of the way. Ratatta hit thin air, landed and spun back to face Gill. "Gill, I don't know all you can do, but start out with a tackle attack."
Gill listened! That was good, thought Travis, but he still was unsure with all the moves Gill knew. was Gill trained well enough to know water gun? Only one way to find out.

As Gill impacted with Ratatta
Ratatta bit Gill's arm, cutting a small but rather deep gash in Gill's right arm. Gill cried out in pain. "Gill, hold on. Do you know how to do water gun?"

Gill unleashed a small torrent of water at the Ratatta. It's wasn't very strong at all, but it was an attack. Ratatta, who looked dazed from the tackle a ew minutes ago, got wet, and was ushed into a rock. Then it ran off, having enough.

"Wow. Gill, you won a little battle. Good job bud."
"Squirtle..."
"That Ratatta got you didn't it? Let me see..."

Travis knelt down.


"Oh wow." Travis said examining Gill's right arm. The cut was rather deep, but not too bad. "Gill, you'll be fine. But we can't let that go unclean or unbandaged. Here." Travis got his back pack, got out a first aid kit. "I don't have any potion, but this will work. I read about it. But it may sting a little, I must ask you not to freak out. Okay?"

Gill looked unsure, but nodded.

"Just close your eyes, and don't look at it. Here, squeeze this rock if you gotta." Travis said, giving him a small rock about the size of his cell phone. He soaked a cotton ball with some alcohol, and put it on Gill's wound. Gill winced. Travis shushed him and said, "It's fine...the stinging will stop momentarily."

Gill exhaled. Travis took off the cotton ball and ripped off some cloth from a shirt he didn't care for at all. He soaked it in water, and wrapped it around Gill's wound. "That'll help a bit. At least until we can get you to a pokemon center. There' s one in Viridian, which is where we're heading right now."

Travis finished dressing the wound. "But we won't head out. I can see you're still a bit tired. You want in your pokeball?"

Gill looked at the pokeball in his hand, then shook his head. "Don't like it huh? That's cool. I enjoy company. We'll start off when you're ready. That sound cool?"

"Squirtle. Gill nodded.
 
Waverly walked towards the outskirts of Pallet Town with her harmed Eevee still in her small arms. Eevee seemed to have been doing a bit better despite getting handled quickly by Emely's Delcatty. Emely and Waverly's rivalry was rather unusual but not unheard of. Emely talked to Waverly like they were best friends although it was obvious that they had a clear dislike for each other. It irritated her how difficult it was to figure Emely out. She had some kind of trait about her that practically made you want to like her but her actual personality is masked by her two-faced cheery-self. It wasn't the time to think about this now though. She looked back and could see Pallet Town disappearing further and further into the distance. Luckily, Viridian City wasn't far at all. She would be able to get Eevee some help from the nurse at the Pokemon Center soon enough.

"Don't worry Eevee…everything will be fine. Just hang in there." Waverly assured the young fox.

"Ee…" Eevee weakly muttered. It was barely able to open its beady eyes.

She looked and saw a sign that read, "Route 1." She breathed a sigh of relief as it seemed to her that she had been strolling for quite a while. Night would soon be falling upon Eevee and her in a couple of hours, so she figured she should try to walk a bit more quickly as she didn't feel quite up to sleeping in the wilderness by herself just yet. As she continued her footsteps, she looked over and could see someone looking in the bushes frantically. Waverly displayed a look of confusion on her face and decided to wander over and see if she could be of help.

"Uh… hello? Do you need some help, ma'am?" Waverly politely asked with her confused expression still on her face.

"AH! O-oh…sorry. You startled me." The woman replied with a shaky tone of voice.

"I tend to do that a lot…" Waverly remarked as she recalled the incident when she unintentionally frightened Prof. Oak back at the lab. "I was just wondering if you needed any help. You look a bit anxious about something. Is everything okay?"

"Well…yes…er…maybe…uh…no, exactly. I came out here to walk the sickly Swinub that Nurse Joy is trying to take care of for her…again, but I seemed to have…. "misplaced" it. I can't find it anywhere. Oh, what am I going to do…" She vocalized worriedly.

"Swinub?" Waverly asked as she proceeded to consult her newly acquired Pokedex.

Pokedex Entry

* Swinub ~ The Pig Pokemon

+ https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen_VersionsIt rubs its snout on the ground to find and dig up food. It sometimes discovers hot springs. +
___

"Aw…it looks cute. Where did you last see it, miss?" Waverly questioned, putting her Pokedex back into her backpack.

"Well…I don't rightly remember…I believe it was…er…no…that was when I saw the unusually fat Rattata…or maybe it was…no, that wasn't it either…" She cluelessly responded.

Waverly looked away from the woman out of frustration and almost coincidentally noticed a Swinub digging out from underground. As it emerged, it began to sweat profusely and looked rather tired after digging through the earth. Eevee, who was still somewhat hurt, jumped down from Waverly's arms and limped towards the Swinub. Eevee put its paw on Swinub and rubbed its back to let it know that it sympathized with its pain.

"Or maybe it was… no.. that was when I was being chased by an angry Rhyhorn…oh! Swinub! You're back!" The woman happily exclaimed and then noticed Eevee attempting to aid Swinub. "Hm…young lady. I think I have an idea. I could let you have this here Swinub as your Eevee seems to want to help it out too… and you have to promise Nurse Joy and I that you will nurse it back to health. It might be just what this little guy needs. Some fresh air and adventure! Wouldn't you think so?" The lady confided in Waverly.

"Well…I guess so. Do you think Nurse Joy would be okay with it?" Waverly enquired as she looked at the Swinub, who was still acting as if it was having some sort of Pokemon version of an asthma attack.

"I could escort you to the Pokemon Center and we could ask. I'm sure she wouldn't mind though. Oh, and by the way, my name is Sheila. I work at the Poke Mart in Viridian City." Sheila disclosed to her.

"I'm Waverly. I'm just starting out as a trainer. I'm thinking of doing Pokemon Contests. I'm planning on entering the Cerulean City Pokemon Contest soon!" Waverly reported cheerfully.

Sheila nodded with a smile.

"I remember starting out with my first Pokemon many years ago. I was born in the Johto region, so I started out with a Chikorita. I believe they are allowing all sorts of starters in the different regions nowadays though. Oh, how I wish to be young again…" Sheila said with a distant look on her face.

Waverly chuckled a bit at how the middle-aged woman's face looked and picked Swinub up while Eevee jumped on her shoulders as she crouched down. Sheila lead her towards Viridian City, which was almost in the distance now.
 
OOC: sorry for not posting more often, I was trying to tidy up my personal messes. Now I'm catching up :D

Tobias

Tobias had leaned forward to inspect Russell's map, inocently asking what was the map for.

Russell showed the various spots marked in his map, explaining: "I've marked various rest spots and notable places to stop at for my research on route to Mt. Moon where there appear to have been multiple accounts of Articuno sightings in the early morning near the peak of the mountain."

Tobias immediately raised an eyebrow and resumed his previous position, now hearing with more attention than curiosity. "Articuno?" he mumbled.

"Without anymore set backs, I should be able to make it to Mt. Moon within the week with more than enough supplies," stated Russell, in a somewhat challenging tone, and then added: "You were fortunate to have followed me like a lost puppy. Who are you, anyway?"

Tobias had his eyes widely opened a this point. If there was a patronizing or judging tone in Russell's speech, he was not aware of it. He was only focused in the one name Russell had mentioned.

"I'm Tobias. From Lavender Town," Tobias explained, as he saw Russell give a more final look to the map and mark a somewhat hige question mark on the part that showed the eastern ocean. "I'm glad to meet you. Say..." he continued, hesitating a little. He had heard about the mirage birds, like every child in his class had, but he had believed them to be just that, mirages. But before he could continue, Russell raised his sight and both Tobias and Autumn followed, Viridian City appearing before them.

"Viridian will be just over this hill. I'll be here for one hour," stated Russell to the two, preparing to tak the hill down to Viridian. "If you wish to travel me more, I will be leaving at that point on the dot so that I can make it to Pewter before nightfall."

Tobias stopped on his tracks for a while, watching Russell marching downhill. "Is he kidding me or what? Can he really track a Legendary Bird?" Then he looked down at Ciabet, who seemed abit tired after the walk. Smiling to it, he recalled the tired Pokémon to its Poké Ball, and pondered the situation carefully.

"I guess he is taling serious. I better find out. Maybe I can guide Autumn and him across Viridian Forest in a breeze, and then we'll have a lot of time to inspect the mountains, catch Pokémon, and fight passing trainers. Besides," he thought, smiling to himself on the idea, "if this turns out great, I can already see the next cover of the Pokémon Times magazine: «Close pictures of Articuno! Experienced researcher tracks the Legendary Pokémon aided by two trainers from Lavender Town.»" The words "from Lavender Town" resonating in his head.

He quickly resumed his step downhill, and approached Autumn:

"Hey, uh... with Articuno, does he mean, well, THE Articuno? The real thing? What do you think about this?"
 
((Plan-B gave me permission to bunny his character till he found time to post))

The rest of Taro and Randy's trip to Varidian had been fairly uneventful. Randy had partaken in a few battles with wild pokemon, while Taro had stuck to observing the sites he had missed in his run down to Pallet. They didn't talk all too much, and before they knew it, they were in Varidian City.

Taro had a slight agenda to take care of in the city. Stopping off at his own house, he said a few more farewells to his parents, and picked up some spending money to start him off. Afterwards, he had headed over to the town Mart, and picked up some ingredients for hamburgers, some spices, and condiments, the first thing for dinner that he could get off the top of his head. Following that, he got some gram crackers, chocolate, and marshmellows. You just can't go wrong with having smores when your camping, after all. Last, he bought ten poke'balls for use on the road, with the cashier giving him a complimentary white 'premier' ball with his purchase. It was totally white, unlike the standard pokeballs.

With that, Taro and Randy found themselves heading twords the exit of the city. The sun was starting to set, so it looked like they would make it to the forest before nightfall after all. Everything seemed to be going according to plan.
 
Autumn had been taking in the scenery, deciding to leave Russell to his own thoughts, when Tobias asked her a question.

"Hey, uh... with Articuno, does he mean, well, THE Articuno? The real thing? What do you think about this?" he asked.

Autumn mouth twisted thoughtfully, "Seems sketchy to me, I mean, Articuno! What a find! But, this guy seems pretty serious," she turned to look at him meaningfully, "I don't think he's one to mess around."

"Chika!" Chikorita screeched. A wild Pidgey had jumped out of the brush was was harassing her.
"Ah crap," said Autumn. She didn't want to slow Russell down anymore than they had. "Chikorita, Tackle!!"

The grass type took a running start and tackled the wild bird pokemon, who seemed surprised by the assault. "Tobias, you wanna help me out? It would be easier if both of us did this together," she smiled.
 
OOC: Sorry if any rules were broken. However, this point did break me out of my lack of role-playing groove.

"Taro, shut up for second!" Randy ordered. Of course, Taro wasn't even talking but one could assume Randy had a rush of superiority go through him when he uttered the statement with such force and power that a child would likely cry upon the words flying through their ears. Randy looked back at Taro and saw a somewhat confused look upon the boy's face. The dynamic duo had perched themselves only a few yards outside the dark forest that the bugs of Kanto called their sweet home and it happened to be their checkpoint for the day yet the man who demanded they reach this location had paused and began crouching and hiding in the tall grass. Taro followed Randy despite his confusion and probable desire for an explanation. "Hand me a Pokeball. Quickly." Randy whispered. Taro seemed to refuse and instead of handing him one, he simply looked back at Randy. "Fine. I'll use the one I stole from the store instead." Out of his pocket appeared one of those pure white Pokeballs, which apparently belonged to the store moments ago.

Out of the bushes appeared a single Pokemon which bore a resemblance to a monkey of sorts. It displayed a pig like face that screamed trouble to Randy. "That Pokemon stole my hat on the way here. Little piece of crap." Randy pointed to the hat, that the Pokemon hid in the bush some distance away. "Okay. Argos. Spit some fire his way. Scare him so he is in the middle of the field." Argos nodded and leaped forward, spread an ember of flames that forced the monkey to flee towards the middle of the field. Argos pursued the Pokemon, burning his body in various places with accurate flame launching. Clearly the fire Pokemon had much experience during the battles on the way to the forest as indicating but the brutal assault. The monkey was perfectly place in the field with injuries and fatigue being its primary expressions. "Surround it with another ember!" Argos created a flaming circle similar to the ones in evil ancient rituals. Unable to escape, the troublesome pokemon was exposed and vulnerable. Argos charged forward and struck the opponent head on with a vicious tackle. As the monkey tumbled to the ground, Randy chucked a Pokeball at him striking him in the face with the catching device. A light flashed and enveloped the Pokemon, sending him inside the ball. After several violent shakes, the ball froze and remained silent and still. Randy retrieved his hat from the bushes and returned Argos to his shoulder before walking over to the site of the capture.

Randy looked over towards Taro. "Do you know what happens now? I never did this Pokemon stuff before so I have no idea what to do." Randy released a light chuckle and stared at the boy hoping to the Powers that be, he knew what to do.
 
Viridian City was just as vibrant and bright as she had imagined it would be. Waverly had never exactly been to the city before, but her parents have. They had said the city was fairly upbeat yet there have been instances of riots happening here, although not many have started recently. When they had finally arrived in the city, Sheila seemed to have a bit of trouble finding her way around for some reason. Eevee was now returned to its Pokeball, and Swinub still cuddled tightly into Waverly's warm arms. It already appeared to take somewhat of a liking to her, although it could just be tired and would be willing to rest in anyone's arms right about now.

"Where's the Pokemon Center? It should be around here somewhere right?" Waverly asked Sheila as she scoped the landscape in front of them.

"Erm…maybe it's…no…that's the city prison…or maybe it…no it's not there either. Oh, never mind! There it is, right in front of us. Heheh…" Sheila embarrassingly responded as she practically leaped over to the building, not showing her blushing red face to Waverly.

The Viridian City Pokemon Center was a rather large building with many young and some old trainers filled up inside it. There were plenty of Pokemon that Waverly herself had never seen, but knew that she couldn't scan them all with her Pokedex since there was quite a big amount of them. Sheila walked further inside towards the counter where a nurse stood; apparently called Nurse Joy. She spoke a bit to Nurse Joy and then motioned for Waverly to follow a few moments later.

"Hello! I understand that your name is Wendy?" Nurse Joy remarked with a cheerful smile spread upon her face.

"Hi! It's Waverly, not Wendy." She responded with a sweatdrop.

"Oops…m-my mistake…heh." Sheila interrupted in her typical clueless tone while Nurse Joy let out a slight giggle.

Swinub started to awaken once more and smiled as it noticed Nurse Joy, who had been taking care of it for a while. Nurse Joy looked down and walked out from behind the counter to take a good look at Swinub.

"Hm…Swinub seems fine. Its condition is definitely getting better…Chansey, where is Swinub's inhaler?" Nurse Joy called, looking around for the overly happy pink Pokemon.

"Chansey!" Chansey immediately ran over with the inhaler in its hand.

"Swinub needs an inhaler?" Waverly asked confusedly.

"Yeah, it has breathing problems. It is still like all normal Swinub though, just a bit unique, I guess you could say. Isn't that right Swinub?" Nurse Joy happily retorted as she inserted the inhaler into Swinub's mouth.

"Swi, Swinub!" Swinub cried out cheerfully.

After it had finished getting the air, Nurse Joy walked towards a room in the back hall with Chansey following quickly behind. Waverly looked down at the Swinub, who was still perched in her grasp. Swinub seemed to be breathing a bit easier now, and was definitely happier than it was earlier. She had grown to like the Pokemon despite their short time together and hoped that there was some possibly that she could take it along with her. She wasn't sure how Nurse Joy would take it though, wondering if she would even be allowed to have it while it was in this condition. Sheila had said that if she promised to take good care of it, she would most likely get Nurse Joy's approval. Waverly was staring off into space when Nurse Joy returned with a small bag with the inhaler inside.

"Here, you'll need this. Swinub needs to take this at least once a day, but give it to it whenever it seems to be breathing irregularly. I trust you will take very good care of it, Waverly!" Nurse Joy affirmed with the same somewhat creepy smile.

"Oh, wow…thanks! Of course, I'll do my best." Waverly responded as she proceeded to take out a Pokeball.

"Swi!" Swinub uttered as it jumped out of Waverly's arms and outside of the Pokemon Center.

"Wait! Swinub!" She called out after it.

Waverly and Nurse Joy ran out of the Pokemon Center with Swinub standing a few feet away from them with a competitive look on its face.

"Oh, so it's a battle you want!? Well of course, I guess I should earn you fair and square. Alright, Eevee, go!" Waverly cried as Eevee burst out of the Pokeball. It seemed to have recovered a little bit now yet still appeared to be a bit injured.

"Ready now, Eevee, Swift!" She ordered the fox Pokemon.

Eevee jumped high into the air and curled into a ball. It began to roll in mid-air, while releasing tons of bright yellow stars towards Swinub. Swinub opened its mouth and a somewhat large icy spear formed in front of it. The Pig Pokemon lunged backwards a bit and then proceeded to throw the spear towards the stars, crushing all of them while it raced quickly to Eevee. Eevee barely dodged the spear with a graceful front flip.

"Good job Eevee! Let's use Yawn!" Waverly cried out.

Eevee's mouth gaped open and a large yawn bubble crept out and floated quickly towards Swinub. Swinub attempted to use Dig to escape the bubble but started to run out of breath and laid there on the ground panting. The yawn bubble popped in Swinub's face causing it to fall asleep instantly. Waverly quickly took out one of her Pokeballs and threw it at Swinub; it disappeared into the ball as the red light overtook it. The Pokeball wobbled, to and fro, side to side, for what seemed like over two minutes. The ball finally proceeded to a stop, with Swinub successfully captured. Waverly walked over and picked the ball up with a wide grin.

"Yay! This Swinub's mine!" She cheered as Eevee then fell over in a tired heap.
 
"Well, why don't you see for yourself?" The boy asked, in response to Haley's question. He exteneded a hand forward with a Pokeball in it, pressing a button, causing the capsule to open on something likely similar to hinges.

A glow of red filled Haley's eyes, and she looked away momentarily, still unused to the sight. As the glow subsided, she could see a brown and white fox-like Pokemon, which blinked up at her with large, chocolate colored eyes.

"Eevee?" It asked, the picture of cuteness and curiosity, in Haley's mind. She had never been one for cute Pokemon, but even so, Eevee's were, without doubt, angelic and just way too awesome.

"Yep, this is who I chose as my starter." K.R. said, and Haley's gaze one again reverted to him, as she opened her mouth to speak.

"An Eevee! That's just way too cool!" She exclaimed, sounding a little more excited than she would have in any other situation. At that moment, however, she caught sight of Treeko out of the corner of her eye, looking a more than a little jealous, and making no effort to hide the look it wore on its face. Thankfully, she didn't think the Eevee noticed, but she couldn't be sure.

"This is Treeko, he's my starter. To be honest, I've never seen a lizard like Pokemon, but he's pretty cool. Your Eevee's awesome too, by the way." The boy had begun to look slightly wondering, his eyes becoming rather distant until they seemed to snap back to the present again.

"I'm from Celedon Park, its a suburb in Celadon City, where are you from?" He asked her, changing the subject, though there was not much more to talk about from the previous topic.

"Just outside Pallet Town." Haley replied, her voice once again light, and completely devoid of any emotion, like it so often was. At that moment, a bright beam of sunlight shone into her eyes, and she lifted up her arm to shield it. Treeko, however, simply moved into the shade, a shadow falling across its face. "Well, I suppose we'd better get started then?" She suggested, rather hesitantly.
 
Tobias

"Seems sketchy to me, I mean, Articuno!" answered Autumn to the question Tobias had raised. She continued, apparently giving he notion of the Legendary Bird some thought. "What a find! But, this guy seems pretty serious, I don't think he's the one to mess around."

Tobias had some issues, too. He thought about what would happen if they were to be face to face with a Legendary Pokémon. The idea was interesting per se, but there was too much of a gap in possibility between being in the cover of the Pokémon Times and being encased in a huge block of ice... in both cases for the posterity, maybe.

"Ice coffins my socks," he chastised himself, in a low voice. "The sole idea of tracing an Articuno is wat better than a five-years free pass to the Safari Zone, anyways..."

Tobias was still berating himself for doubting on this chance for an adventure, when a shadow flew by his head and down to the right, circling Autumn. Tobias looked up to distinguish a Pidgey, who had jumped out of nowhere and for some reason was stalking Autumn. As the girl tried to fend off the bird, Tobias halted a couple of steps forward, and noticed by the lid of his eye that Russell was still walking, a couple steps ahead of them.

"Chika!" was yelling Chikorita, helping her Trainer to fight the bird Pokémon.

"Curses..." thought Tobias to himself. "Of all times, now a wild Pokémon?"

In the meantime, Chikorita managed to tackle the Pidgey away, and Autumn took the chance to call for Tobias: "Tobias, you wanna help me out?" she said, smiling, "It would be easier if both of us did this together."

Tobias did not hesitate for a moment. "Look, Ciabet," he stated calmly, lowering his sight to meet his Bulbasaur, "the fight I promised you? Now we have it, how's that?"

Ciabet seemed to understand and smiled, answering with a simple "Bulba".

"Well then, let's see what you can do. Pursuit that Pidgey!" ordered Tobias, pointing at the wild Pokémon, "and keep some distance with Chikorita so we can have plenty of room to attack!"

Ciabet jumped forwards and ran towards the greenery, but the Pidgey had already recovered from Chikorita's hit and managed to spread its wing enough to give itself a lift. Cibet only barely missed the hit, and stopped a couple of meters away.

By that time, Tobias had approached Ciabet's previous position and watched the scene. He was surprised to see that the Pidgey, instead of fleeing from two opponents, seemed to focus on Autumn again, as it leered at her and spread its wings, ready to attack and peck her again.

"No you won't!" yelled Tobias. "Ciabet, stay behind him, but don't attack!" he ordered, knowing full that the Pidgey still had to go over Chikorita to reach Autumn. Ciabet obeyed, and started running behind the furious Pidgey.
 
"Well, the first stop is Viridian City." said K.R.


K.R. hoped Haley didn't notice him thinking a little too much. He began to get a ticklish feeling in his stomach as they began to walk. He still wasn't aware why he was feeling strange around te girl. He couldn't look at her too much without feeling himself blush. He didn't know what else to say. He wouldn't why he was developing a crush on her. K.R. noticed that she seem to be impressed by his Eevee. K.R. called back his Eevee to his Pokeball as he continued walking.


"Well...do you plan on being a trainer or coordinator?" said K.R. trying to start a conversation and wanted to know more about Haley



K.R. knew it was kind of a lame way to start a conversation but he couldn't really think of anything else that wouldn't sound too awkward. K.R. then waited for Haley's response as he began thinking some more.
 
"Well, the first stop is Viridian City." said K.R., and with that, he began walking, Haley turned and held out her Pokeball.

"Time to return to the pokeball, Treeko." Haley told it, opening the capsule, which emitted a smoldering red glow which encased the Pokemon, turning it a shade of red as it quickly seemed to fade away. With that, the red beam of light withdrew back into the Pokeball.

Having done that, Haley ran to catch up with K.R. before falling into her normal walking pace, treading lightly on the ground, which was still moist with the morning dew.

"Well...do you plan on being a trainer or coordinator?" said K.R., his tone light and conversational, breaking the silence that had fallen between them. Haley stared forward thoughtfully for a moment before replying.

"I've always contemplated being a trainer, though that really depends as of now, since I don't really know my Pokemon that well. What about you?" She added, a slight touch of curiosity now penetrating her previously emotionless tone of voice.

Her thought returned to her Pokemon, as she waited for K.R.'s reply, she hardly knew Treeko, having only had her Pokemon for...she didn't know, though it was probably somewhere around an hour to an hour and a half. To her, it seemed like the type that would enjoy battling, but she couldn't be sure until she got to know her Pokemon and its strengths. And why was she thinking like this anyway? She was just an inexperianced new Pokemon Trainer.
 
Taro blinked as Randy got very worked up over the pokemon he had now targeted. If he hadn't been so hasty, Taro would have let him use one of his pokeballs, but no matter. After all, Randy could get as many as he wanted, what with that five-finger discount of his.

As Randy fought the Mankey, Taro and Kiga were busy building a fire to cook dinner over. Kiga had successfully gathered quite a bit of fire wood, and Taro was busy seasoning the burgers to be cooked. He doubted there would be much trouble starting the fire, watching Argos work.

Randy looked over towards Taro. "Do you know what happens now? I never did this Pokemon stuff before so I have no idea what to do."
Click to expand...

"Um..." Taro said, looking back at his traveling partner "I believe that hes yours now... or is it a she? Oh, nevermind. Your Poke'dex should have some more comprehensive information on that pokemon now, I believe..."
 
"I've always contemplated being a trainer, though that really depends as of now, since I don't really know my Pokemon that well. What about you?" said Haley


K.R. knew what he wanted to do and his goal was to collect at least 8 badges.


"I definitely want to be a trainer and I want to enter the Pokemon League and hopefully try to win." Said K.R.


As K.R. was walking looked up at the sky and noticed that it was getting dark. Fortunately, Viridian City was just up ahead. K.R. walked up to a hill that was overlooking the city, when K.R. got on top of the hill and looked at the skyline. It was a beautiful sight to see, K.R. stood at the top of the hill and gazed at the beauty of the city. K.R. then decided Eevee should see the skyline as well.

"Eevee, check this out!" said K.R. as he tossed his Pokeball

"Eeveeee..." yawned the brown and white fox pokemon It was pretty obvious that it had been aslep in its pokeball. Eevee then looked at K.R. and then looked at the skyline.

"Eevee?" it said as it apparently didn't know what K.R. was looking at.

Seeing a skyline was nothing new to K.R. considering he seen the skyline often back home. This was the first time in a while that he had seen it up close. K.R. was pleased with his first day on his journey and hoped for many such days to come.
 
OOC: Okay, Thanxgiving Brea's over, now I'm available lol.

IC:

Travis had been walking for about four hours now. He was both thankful and surprised that no other wild pokemon had attacked him yet. Gill was okay, but still hurt, and Travis found himself carrying him to Viridian.

"Just hang on, buddy. We're almost there. I can see the city now."
It was true. Viridian City was only about 15 minutes out.
"How you holding up?"
"Squirtle..."
"Nice to know, bud. Almost there. Just hold on. I know it must hurt, but you're only about 15 minutes away from a Pokemon Center. They'll fix that arm of yours."

Travis entered the pokemon center about 20 minutes later. Gill was in his arms, awake, but rather tired. THe attack and walk had worn the poor guy out. THe woman behind the counter saw Travis enter. "May I help you?"
"Yes, please," Travis said handing Gill to her. "Gill here's just got a nasty little gash on his arm today. Mind if you fix it up?"
"Not at all." she said removing the piece of cloth Travis had put on the wound four hours earlier. "Wow, looks like whatever attacked him, did a bit on him."
Travis for some reason didn't like that last sentence. "What do you mean? Is Gill alright?"
"Oh he's fine. Just a nasty gash that's all. I can fix it in a jiffy. It's just a bit bigger than usual. What attacked him?"
"A Ratatta. Happened around noon. I bandaged and cleaned it to the best of my ability."
"That's good to know. It doesn't look like it'll get infected. I'll just need to take GIll into the back and stich up his arm."
"Okay, I'll wait out here."
"You may do that, sir. Can I offer a room for the night?"
"That would be very nice, thank you. I'll wait until you're finished back there."

Travis sat down on the couch, head back. It felt good to sit. To relax...

"If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm and karma's burning
Or look ahead but keep on turning?"

Travis opened up an Arizona Green Tea from his backpack (Arizona FTW lol) and sipped. He began his daily reflection. Reflection on the day. He always did this at the end or near the end of the day. And it being about 4:00 PM, it was to him near the end of the day.

"Do I have the strength to kno how I go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
Could I have my wasted days back?
Would I use them to get back on track?

You live it or lie it, you live it or lie it!"

The trainer Tobias returned to his mind. Where was the guy? Had Travis overpassed him without noticing?

Travis also began thinking about the other trainer. THe one he knew no name of, but had caused quite a riot in the lab earlier today. He wondered what was up with him.

Travis sat and the minutes passed. His reflection going back to his old past. He hated his past. It sucked. It was nothing but pain.

"My life style
(Birth is pain)
determines my death style
A rising tide
(Life is pain)
To push us to the other side.
My life style
(Death is pain)
determines my death style.
A rising tide
(It's all the same)
to push us to the other side.

Travis stopped reflecting on that. He'd get extremely dark if he reflected too much on the past. He hated his dark moods when they came up...yet he loved them when they did...

Travis shoved that thought away and waited for Joy to come back out.
 
Russell had stopped from his dazed stare off into no where upon realization that his travel partners had lagged behind. Dealing with a small Pidgey. Russell let out a long sigh as he fished through his messenger bag. After a few moments of fumbled searching, he found what he was looking for, tossing the small pokeball onto the ground and letting out his rowdy partner.

"Totodile, you can water gun, right?" He asked the little Pokemon, knowing he hadn't once tried to use it in battle. But he really wanted to get moving and this was the only way he could think of. "If you can use water gun, I'd appreciate it if you would use it on Pidgey, we're falling behind schedule." he instructed the small blue Pokemon who saluted with a small pudgey arm before turn and aiming its mouth at the Pidgey, shooting a narrow stream of water and knocking out of its collision course path with Autumn and Chikorita.

"Thank you, friend. That'll do for now." Russell said with a somewhat expectant and happy tone as the small blue Pokemon came and ran around happily in circles around Russell's feet. Turning to start walking the other way, he continued on the path towards Viridian.

"You could probably catch it if you want." He called over his shoulder to the two. "Hm... its about time i start thinking about what Pokemon I plan to catch first myself... I'll have to make it a good one." he thought silently to himself as he continued on into the Viridian.
 
About 15 minutes passed. Travis sat on the couch the entire time, head lookin gup, sometimes his eyes would close, but mostly they stayed open.

It comes alive
It comes alive
It comes alive
And I die a little more...

"Sir?"
Travis looked down from to Joy. "What's up?"
"Your Squirtle's ready to go."
"Awesome." Travis said getting up, and going to the counter. Joy gave him Gill, and Travis looked down at the tiny pokemon.
"You feeling better now, buddy? 'Cause I think we got enough time to actually hit the forest and get a nice camp area before night falls."
"You don't want a room sir?"
"I appreciate the offer, Joy, but I thought it over, and figured, might as well just get some fresh air."
"Okay, you two be careful."
"Thanks again, Joy."

Travis and Gill left the pokemon center.
"Let's head to the forest Gill, we'll find a nice area to camp, then we'll stay there the night."
"Squirt?"
"I've got some very easy packable camping gear, but it's very comfortable. I also got some cooking skills, and food. We'll be good. The fire will keep most wild pokemon away."
"Squirtle."
"Let's go then, bud."

After walking about 30 minutes through the large forest, they came upon a nice open area that was perfect for a camp sight. The trees were not too condensing, the ground wasn't too grassy or too dry, and the best part was, there wasn't a nest of Beedrill anywhere. Travis knew better than to not look out for those. Beedrill swarms were not an uncommon sight in this forest, and he didn't want to wake up to a nasty surprise. But he didn't do all that studying monthes befor ethe journey for nothing. Travis was competally aware of how to survive in the wilderness.

After they had a tent set up, and music playing through some portable speakers, Travis gathered some wood, dug, a pit in the ground, put the wood inside the pit along with some crumpled newspaper, and lit a fire. The fire was up just as the sun was giving the sky a mighty red glow.

The speakers weren't all that loud, but Travis didn't want to crank it, that would attact pokemon, and he didn't want to run to Viridian. The speakers played a very smooth melody, the introduction to a very famous instrumental, "The Call of the Ktulu."

Travis reached inside his backpack, and pulled out some cans of potato stew. It wasn't homemade, but it was good nonetheless. Using his pocket knife, Travis jabbed a hole in the top, got out a cooking grid, designed to sit over a fire, and put the can on top.

"Here, Gill. Chow down." Travis said, tossing Gill a few apples. Travis knew there was pokemon food, but he didn't trust the brandmade food for personal reasons.
"I hope I'm showing some friendship to you, man." Travis said as "The Call of the Ktulu" sent him into another meditative stance. "I think today was rather nice...I appreciate to see you've put some more trust into me. I thank you, Gill."
"Squirtle..." Gill probably thought it was creepy that Travis could see what anyone around thought of him or of themselves...
Travis closed his eyes, but didn't sleep, he was still sitting up, but blannked his mind of all thoughts, being careful not to forget the stew on the grid. He felt his inner dark moods that had almost been brought out of their slumber today, quiet down. Travis breathed...it felt good.

She loved going outside and picking flowers. She has a very beatiful flower garden that her mother sometimes helps her with. She plants all kinds of flowers there, but her favorite kinds of flowers are sun flowers.

Her and her mother sometimes sell the flowers at the flower store in Viridan City. One day Kairi was watching TV, and heard about all children starting out as Pokemon trainers or coordinators, and getting there first pokemon from Professor Oak. "Wow! That's what I always wanted to do, become a master coordinator just like my mom." Kairi said getting excited. The next day Kairi got her Pokemon. A Pikachu. She was so happy. She then set out on her journey.

Your Dream: Kairi's dream is to be a top Coordinator just like her mother once was. She wants to be a master coordinator.

Intro Post:

"Oh, what a long day's work," Kairi said, rudding swat from her forehead as she finished working in her garden, for the day. Kairi put her tools away. She, went inside and got a bite to eat. Her mother was still at work. Kairi was eating some rice balls.

She turned on the TV to the news station,"Good evening Pallet. Today we have news from famus researcher Professor Oak. He is giving away pokemon to beginning trainers, tomorrow," said the news lady,"Don't be late, to get your first pokemon."

"What perfect timing. Then it's setled. Tomorrow I'm going to be one of those trainers, getting my first pokemon. Then I can finually become a Pokemon Coordinator like my mom once was."

There was a noise at the door,"Then you better be getting ready for bed then. Kairi turned around and saw her mother walking through the door.

"Oh, mom hi. How was work today?" Kairi asked the older woman.

"Oh, same old stuff," her mother answered,"Anyway you better be getting to bed now, if you want to be on time tomorrow."

"Oh, right," Kairi said. She turned off the TV. She then went and got her Pajamas, a blue set with pictures of Pokeballs on it, and went into her bathroom, and started taking a shower. The whole time while she was bathing she was thinking,'I can't wait.' Kairi giggled.

***

Kairi got out and got dressed. She then brushed her teeth, with her strawberry toothpaste. Her brush had a picture of a contest ribon on it.

She then blow dried her hair and brushed it. "Now time for bed," she said, as she got into bed with her Jigglypuff doll, cuddleing it. She set her Poke Clock for 8:00 AM, then went to sleep.

***

(The Next Morning)

Her clock started chiring, making the sound of a Pidgey. Kairi got up and got ready, and ran down to the lab. When she got there the Professor only had 1 Pokemon left,"Aww, I wonder what it could be?" Kairi wondered. "Why don't you see for yourself Kairi?" The Professor told her.

"Ok," Kairi said. She opened up the ball and out popped a female Pikachu,"Awww it's so cute." Kairi grinned down at it.

"Hi there. My name's Kairi. Would you like to be my first Pokemon?" Kairi asked it. Pikachu grinned,"Pika!" It said smiling.

"Ok Kairi here is your Pokedex. It is a device for gathering information about Pokemon you see or catch. It is also your ID so don't lose it. Also here is 5 Pokeballs used for catching Pokemon. You may carry up to 6 Pokemon with you at one time," The Professor explained. He then explained how to use the Pokedex and Pokeballs,"Ok got it," Kairi told him. Pikachu was so cute she decided to let it stay out of it's ball with her for awhile. "Well thanks for everything Professor."

"Wait," Professor Oak told Kairi how to get to Viridan City from here,"And when you get there make sure to buy a PokeGear and PokeNAV. They will help you out on your journey."

"Ok," Kairi repiled,"Come on Pikachu let's go." She walked out with Pikachu following behind her.

The other two helped Autumn defend herself against the Pidgey, although Tobias was more enthusiastic than Russell. Who had asked his pokemon poilitely to attack, apathy coating his voice thickly.
He probably just wants to get to Pewter as soon as possible, Autumn thought.
"You could probably catch it if you want," Russell mentioned as Totodile returned to its pokeball.
Autumn smirked but turned to Tobias, "Do you mind? I mean, I know we both fought it, but I really want a Pidgeot some day..." she said, running a hand through her wild hair. She pulled an empty pokeball from her pack and waited for the boy to answer.

OOC: sorry, I haven't role played as Autumn in a while. =S my posts won't be this short after this, I promise!
