Protectors of Hoenn [REBOOT] Rated K+

Beneath Fortree city, many pokemon live abundantly and freely, having not trouble with the humans that live above. About 5 years ago, a 10 year old silver haired child appeared in that forest, with no parents or relatives to claim him, or even any idea of how he got there. The pokemon, as if given direct orders from someone or something, brought him food and cloths, as had been done in the other region, Sinnoh, where he had been "born". Occasionally, he would take small trips into the city, just to explore his new surroundings, and as he did, his presence became more widely known in the region, as "The boy who could slow time." -------------------

Holding up the letter in my hand to my face, I waved the small Tailow away, thanking it. Usually, I didn't get any mail; stuff like mortgage and water bill shut off warnings. This was of course because I didn't live in a tree house like the others in the city, but rather slept in trees, that kind of thing. "Birch huh?... that's that professor dude right?" I asked the white blue striped Umbreon sitting beside me, which seemed to stare right back at my face with a "How should I know?" expression. I smirked, poking its forehead and snickering, "Well your no help."

Squinting, I began to read the words on the weathered paper, slipping up a few times because of so many of the same colored letters in the same place. Most people wouldn't really understand it, so I guess it was a one time incurable thing for me, too bad. "So, I gotta get to Little Root, where this Professor Birch is located? Hmm..." Not to far off, cleaning it's white and dark blue feathers, the Tailow I had just sent off was perched. "Oi, Tailow, you think you could get your dad to do me a favor?!" It turned its head to one side, and then took off, and I didn't even think it was coming back until a huge Swellow, swooped in and perched on the branch, and a few seconds later the small Tailow poked its head out from behind its fathers neck, staring at us.

"Ah... thanks, that will work..." I said as I began climbing up the trunk of the tree, as if it were as natural to me as climbing stairs. As I sat on its back, It turned its head to look at me, and I nodded, grinning slightly. "Lets go visit the professor!" As the Swellow took off, I had to cling to its neck to stay on it, but as it reached a comfortable height it reserved itself to gliding, and I was able to relax a bit. Looking down, I got my first view of the region from above, and it was, as best a word I can think to describe it, was simply awesome.

--------------

Standing at the door of professor Birch's lab, I waved goodbye to the parting Swellow. When it's form was out of site, I turned to the doors of the lab and took a deep breath, before walking through the doors. As I looked around, my face bore a very fascinated expression, for there were all these weird gadgets and weird lab tech guys around, all talking in weird scientifical-mathamatical theories and equations, it made my brain hurt just to listen. I clapped my hands tight over my ears, so I wouldn't have to hear all of their chatter, until I reached the back of the lab. Professor Birch himself was at the back, writing something on a clipboard and muttering to himself.

When I was close enough, I held up an open hand, extending a greeting," Yo, what's up professor? I got your letter, so I got here as fast as the Swellow could take me. Anyway, I hear you have a pokemon for m-" I paused as I saw 5 pokeballs missing from the container, which left only two, not much of a choice, but that's what I get huh?

As soon as he heard me speak, he looked up from the clip board, with a confused look on his face. "Huh? Who are you...?" He paused slightly as he noticed the silver color of my hair, and smile lightly. "You would be... Skyzarin... correct?"

I flinched as I heard my full name, growling a bit while I worked it over in my mind. How did he know my real name... I never told anyone... well except Jake... but that was in Sinnoh, so how the hell did it get all the way over here?! Not really seeing my slight shock, he continued, "Yes, I did send out a letter addressed to you, as well as several others... As you can see, five have already been here, so there are only two left, sorry."

I laughed slightly and put up a hand to show a thumbs up. " It's okay! Anyway... lets see... heh, this is kinda like Russian roulette, except I don't die no matter what I chose! How bout this one!" I exclaimed as I held up the pokeball in my hand. Tossing it into the air, I caught it again and started to spin it on my pointer finger. After a few seconds, I pressed the button in the center of the pokeball, releasing the pokemon inside it. As the surging red beam solidified into a avian form, it dispersed, leaving a black and white pokemon with a yellow beak in its place.

The bird was kinda chubby, and it was only about a foot tall, perfect size! I approached it carefully and knelt down in front of it, holding out my hand. The bird tilted its head to one side, and hopped up my arm, settling on my shoulder. I turned to smile at it, and in the corner of my eye saw the professor typing something in his phone, but I didn't dwell on it too much, probably just a performance test or something. "What's your name buddy?" I asked, and the bird unfurled both of its wings and squawked out, saying "Chirpich! Chirp!" I grinned, using my finger to scratch the spot under its beak before turning back to the professor who was holding out his hand to give me something.

"This is a pokedex, it records the data of the pokemon you see and capture. Only seeing the pokemon won't record the full data of it, so in order to complete the description, you should try and capture that species." I nodded, accepting the pokedex and was about to place it in my bag when I realized I didn't have one. "Don't worry about a bag Sky, there is a pokemart in Odale, and I have prepped a package for you, that should include one. Now, go on and begin your journey, and take good care of m- I mean your pokemon!"

Grinning, I waved goodbye and exited the lab, heading in the general direction of Odale. When I was outside of Littleroot, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye; it was Chirpich, ruffling its feathers as if something was worrying it. It wasn't long before I heard the noise that was unsettling it, and I sighed, looking at Chirpich for a moment before taking off in the direction of the screaming person. Hopefully, my pokemon would be able to handle it...
 
Second Post:

Alright. Now, you guys are racing towards the scream. You arrive at the point where you think you heard the scream and you see a gang of three thugs in red harassing a small boy. These are, though you don't know it, terrorists from Kanto. They say they're lost and want to get to oldale. When the terrified boy refuses, he gets beaten up, and threats are made, etc. You being the hero you are, rush to the poor boy's rescue and engage one of the thugs in battle. You will lose IMMEDIATELY(Well, put up a good and long fight, but you won't defeat a single one of his/her's pokemon.). He/she will have fully evolved, really really strong pokemon that know really good moves. This pokemon can be of your choosing, except it must be from Kanto, and it must not be a fakemon. Make your post detailed, and end the post with the thugs laughing and you frantically running back to Birch's lab (NOT oldale) to heal your fainted pokemon.
 
As Augie races towards the scream, he notices 3 thugs in red clothes disturbing a boy. He listens.
"Hey boy, where's the direction to Oldale?" says the thugs.
"..........I'm not telling you!!!"
"Why you......" Threatens the thug.

Without thinking, Augie jumps to the boy's aid. He commands Quaxo to use tackle on one of the thugs.

"Ouch! Who did that??" Said the thug as he turned towards Augie's direction.
"Boy, prepare to lose!!!!!" said the thug while getting a pokeball out of his pocket.

The pokemon inside turned out to be a Dragonite. Terrified, Augie commanded Quaxo to spin around to the back of the Dragonite and tackle it's back.

The Dragonite roars and flew. Quaxo missed the target. The Dragonite turned back down and fired a Hyper Beam in Quaxo's direction.

"Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax!!!" Shouted Quaxo as he ran around trying to dodge it.
The hyper beam moved in a zig-zag pattern and hit Quaxo head-on.

"Continue with a Draco Meteor!" Commanded the thug.

The Dragonite roared again before it flew and summoned countless meteors from the sky. All of them hit Quaxo. Quaxo screamed helplessly as the countless meteors hit him. The thug laughs. He says that Augie should just run along and not disturb them.

Frightened, he got on his bike with Quaxo and races to Prof. Birch's lab to heal Quaxo.
 
Connor flew past trees after trees with Zoran following closely. The cry, which Connor thought was unmistakeably from a little boy, came closer and closer with every step. He looked around and found, sure enough, the little boy, being cornered by the thugs.

"I'll say it for the last time, where is Oldale Town?" one of the thugs said. "I told you, I'm not telling you!" the little boy replied, trying to stand his ground. The biggest one of all of the group of criminals snickered, and started threatening the boy. Connor had enough and commanded Zoran to use Tackle on the biggest thug as he prepared to punch the little boy. "Oi!" the thug shouted. "Who did that!?" He turned around to see Connor, fearlessly admitting on what he did. "You're going to pay, you little scum bag!"

The thug sent out a humongous Golem. It was bigger than the usual size of a normal Golem. "Use Defense Curl!" Connor commanded Zoran, trying to distract the thugs. The little boy somehow understood and escaped out of the thugs' grasp. "Golem, Hammer Arm." the thug commanded. "Dodge it!" was Connor's next command, but it was in vain. Hammer Arm hit Zoran hard. It fainted immediately. "Zoran! Please, get up" was the plea of Connor. It had no effect though. Connor picked up Zoran and rushed back to Professor Birch's lab. "That's what you deserve!" the thug he battled shouted, and his group laughed.
 
It took quite some time for me to reach the area which I believed the screaming to have originated from. I was usually pretty good with navigation, at least in Fortree, but this forest was kinda different. Sounds echoed and bounced around, making you think that a weird noise you heard coming from your left, could actually be coming from 10 meters to the right. Finnaly I burst into the clearing, looking like I was trying to make some kind of camoflauge with the branches and leaves caught in my hair and cloths. What I saw in front of me looked to be what one would see in a movie, where the thugs had pulled some random kid into an allyway, trying to mug him.

In this case, it was different, because from what I heard, it seemed that they wanted to know where the town of Odale was located. The kid either knew where it was, or was just bluffing, because he seemed to be refusing to disclose the information. The kid looked like he was beaten pretty bad, having multiple bruises on his arms and legs, torn shirt sleeves, and even a black eye. Immediately I rushed forward to defend him, blocking the boot that would have caught him in the chest with my right arms wrist. The blow stung, making my wrist feel like it was throbbing, but I did my best to mask the pain, throwing on an emotionless mask, and glaring at the attackers. One of them began to shout, this time at me.

"Hey kid! What do you think you're doing? This ain't none of your business, so why don't you just scram!?" My face showed that his words hadn't even fazed me, but I was feeling a hint of fear. I had never really fought anyone before, and with them being adults with bigger bodies and more strength, I was at a bit of a disadvantage. "Don't feel like listenin' huh? Okay then, I'll make you leave! Let's teach em a lesson Raticate!" Yelled the man as he tossed out a pokeball of his own, which released the pokemon in a flash of red light.

Even I had to admit, that pokemon looked ferocious, but there was no backing down now. I turned to the kid, who met my eyes and seemed to get the message, since he was out of sight within a minute. I turned back to face the man, only a milisecond before he yelled, "Raticate! Hyperfang!" As I watched, the Raticate's two front teeth began to glow, and it rushed forward towards my chirpich with incredible speed. Both myself and my chirpich dodged, each in a different direction, barely avoiding the attack. I watched as the attack that was meant for us, caused a large oak to crack, and finnaly fall to the ground.

Quickly recovering from my shock, I turned to my Chirpich who was now airborne, watching the Raticate, and it took me a few second to think of an attack that it possesed. "Chirpich! Try to get some extra speed from a dive and use peck!" Without any sign of aknowlagement, it pulled into a sharp nosedive, its own beak beginning to shine as it prepared its attack. I concentrated, closing my eyes for a moment as my pokemon soared towards its target, and opening them just as the attack was about to hit, only they were glowing a crystal blue color.

Everything seemed to be moving slowly to me, because I was using my ability to slow time, and as I inspected the Raticate's form, I saw its body tense, as if it was about to move. My eyes widened and lost their unnatural color, and I tried to shout for Chirpich to cancel its attack, but I was too late. As my pokemon hit the ground, the Raticate used its speed once more to easily dodge the direct attack, before turning to my Chirpich, who was still trying to pull its beak from the ground. It then rushed forward and landed a headbutt right in Chirpich's chest, causing it to fly back and slam into the fallen tree that lay behind it. Immediately I rushed forward, scooping up the fainted pokemon in my arms, and diving out of the way of the Raticate's Hyperfang.

Glaring at the rest of the thugs, I knew I had no other option, but to retreat, seeing as their own pokemon were much more powerful than my own. As I ran back the way I came, I grit my teeth as I heard the mocking words of the thugs behind me. "Nice try kid! Come back when you get on our level! Ahahaha!" Closing my eyes I shut out their chants, and hurried back towars Birch's lab.
