HA-HA!
You thought I was all Minecraft, didn't you?
Well, I'm not, I felt like doing a Pokémon fanfic, so I made one. It's also not the last, and it's also not the last different subject I'm going into. ;P Let's begin~
Return
He sat upon a stone seat he had made himself for when he trained. He watched the battle going on before him. If it were a normal training session, both Pokémon would have died by now. But it was just light training for him. Atop his mountain of endless storms and cold, he began to think, and his mind left the mountain.
It had been three years since someone had come up the mountain to battle him ten since he came up here. They didn't know his name, but they did know he existed. Probably. Last time he had one of his Pokémon get supplies, the Pokémon overheard some people talking about him. They called him a myth. They called those who said they met him crazy. They said to Gold, who was known as the strongest trainer at the time insane, that his team could not be swept, even if the trainer was Red.
The thought made him smile.
Don't get to lost, man. He heard a voice in his mind. You don't want another coma, last time you almost died.
I know Pika, but sometimes I can't help it. It's been so long since I've had a good battle. They've been fun, sure, but always one-sided. I want an opponent who can give me a decent battle.
Well, why not go down the mountain? Asked another voice.
Well, it's simple, M., I hate the spotlight.
Listen, Red, I know, but even so, you're losing you will to live; you need to at least go in secret. Imagine the surprise of people when they learn you're alive. Even if you never get to battle, you need human interaction. Can you even speak anymore? Asked Pika.
I can, I just don't need to up here.
Then do it. Said M.
"I…. can sti… still speak."
Then you can go down the mountain. You need to live your life again.
Fine…. I'll go talk to the Professor.
Just remember, let him down easy.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be dead. He smiled at the thought.
Well, we'd better get moving. And M?
Yeah? M. replied.
Remember to keep your mind closed. People need their privacy.
Oh yeah…..
He sent out his Charizard, and like his other Pokémon, he was much bigger than normal Pokémon.
Return, Eve. Return, Blast. We're going home.
Oak P.O.V.
Now that he was done tending to the Pokémon at the lab, he was just walking around the lab's gardens, bored out of his mind.
Then, suddenly the Pokémon around him hid.
Startled, he looked around for what had scared them. Then he looked up, and saw an orange and white blur. Moving faster than any Pokémon he'd seen before. He immediately ran back to the lab, but he already knew that he wouldn't make it back in time. It wouldn't be the first time someone had tried to steal Pokémon from his lab, and he wouldn't let them take any if he could.
As the Pokémon landed, he noticed that someone was sitting on the back of the Pokémon. Then he realized that it was a Charizard, but it was huge, and its flame was white, and was so hot he could feel it from twenty feet away.
Then he saw who was on the back of the Charizard. A twenty-one year old man, he had a tattered red jacket with a black t-shirt under it, nearly shredded blue jeans, faded red sneakers, and a red cap. He had black spiky hair, very pale skin, and startling red eyes.
When he laid eyes on him, he couldn't move for a moment, and then fell to the ground, crying.
"Why?" asked the man.
"Because you're alive. I had never thought that you had survived that, I but why did you not tell us? Misty didn't have contact with anyone for three years after you vanished. So, why?" he asked while standing back up.
"To, much, popularity. I didn't want attention."
"But then, why not just stay there? Why come back?"
"I want to go on another journey, but I've run out of places where people don't know me."
"No, many people don't remember you. They forgot about you, and if you really want to go somewhere that no one would recognize you, then go to Unova. My friend there, Professor Juniper, could sign you up for the Unova league, and there's also the Pokémon World Tournament."
This got his attention. "Pokémon World Tournament?"
"PWT for short. It's the biggest event in the world. The strongest trainers in the world battle to see who the best is. It's held once a year, and the gym leaders and champions get to go straight to the final tournament."
"No, I'll just battle like a normal trainer. No help."
"I see, do you want me to tell people about you, or no?"
"No," Red said.
"Ok, also I almost forgot, you need eight badges to enter, and if you don't want people to know about you, then you can't go to the Hall of Fame to get your badges back."
Red just looked on.
"Well, I'll go get your plane tickets."
"No," said Red, "I'll fly on Char."
"If you say so."
They talked for a bit longer, and then Red got on Char, and flew away at top speed.
"Well, Unova is about to get rocked to its core," Said Professor Oak, chuckling.
Juniper P.O.V.
"Why did I listen to him?" She sighed.
She was told by Prof. Oak that there was a trainer coming from Kanto to start a journey in Unova. She was surprised when he told her that he was not only coming by Pokémon, but also that he would arrive that day, which he couldn't even do by plane.
"Was he just pulling my leg? Maybe I should just go back inside," she thought aloud.
But then, she saw a Pokémon approaching from the sky at high speed. It covered a distance of 3 miles in a matter of seconds. As it landed, she saw the trainer on its back. When she had first heard about him from Oak, she had thought that he was a newbie, but now that she looked at him she saw that, if anything, he was more experienced than Black. She smiled at the thought.
"You must be the trainer Professor Oak was talking about," she said.
Red nodded his head.
She started to blush, though she tried to hide it, she still had womanly hormones, and looking at him, she saw that he looked like what some people might say, a movie star who never changed his clothes. Most of his clothes were shredded and faded.
"Do you need a set of clothes? Yours seem a little old and broken. Then after that I'll get you a starter Pokémon and a pokedex." She said.
"No, I just need to sign up." He said quickly.
"O-Okay"
He got signed up and she asked, "Are you sure that you don't want a starter Pokémon?"
"Yes" he answered.
She had lost any feelings for him when she realized his personality. He was to serious.
"Well, okay then, goodbye" she said.
He just left.
What a strange man, She thought.
It has been three weeks since He had arrived in Unova. He had already gotten seven of the eight badges he needed to enter the PWT. He got the; Wave badge, Jet badge, Insect badge, Quake badge, Toxic badge, Legend badge, and the Basic badge, in that order. There was no set order, so he didn't go in the normal order, and he barely ever explored, so he got the badges even quicker. Of course, though, Skyla was one of only two people he had ever met that actually made him rage. Her 'simulation battle' made him rage at her until she gave him an actual battle. Even then she wanted him to do a different type of battle than just a normal one.
As Char landed, he smiled in his mind, he secretly liked it how people stop and look at his Pokémon, he himself couldn't care less if people ignored him, he even liked it, but he wanted his Pokémon to be recognized.
It didn't take him long to find the gym, as he had learned in the other cities, the gyms were normally part of the city as well.
When he got to the gym, he noticed that there was a large group of people outside the gym. But what really made him wonder is why there were only teenage girls outside the gym.
He went to sign up, but then the receptionist said, "I'm sorry, but she can't battle right now."
"Why?" Red asked.
"Between you and me," she whispered to him, "she's on a date! Just don't tell the press."
As Red walked away, he wasn't angry; it wasn't the first time it had happened. Now at least he knew why there were so many people in front of the gym. I wonder who she is on a date with?
Don't do this, man. Remember what happened last time you went into someone's personal life. Said Pika.
That was an accident! And you were the one who told me to anyway!
He's got a point, Pika, Said Char.
But out Char! Pika yelled.
Calm down guys, I'm not going to get into her personal life. I don't even know her. He said as he scratched Pika's ear.
Hey, who's that over there? Asked Pika
As Red looked over at where Pika had shown him. Next to the Ferris wheel he saw a nervous looking girl, wearing a white and light blue dress, a white hat, and pink hair. She seemed scared of something, because she was looking around quickly, and trying to stay away from people.
Yancy P.O.V.
Where is he? Where is he? She thought nervously. She wanted to make sure that no one recognized her. I may just be early. She thought. Then she felt something over her mouth, and she blacked out.
Red P.O.V.
He was just looking at the girl, wondering why she looked so nervous. Then he saw someone grab her mouth and pull her behind the Ferris wheel and into an ally way. He was just about to follow them, when, "Hey, can I ask you something?" said a boy in a red visor, a blue jacket, and spiky brown hair. "Did you happen to see a girl here, in a white dress and has pink hair. He motioned for the boy to follow.
"Where are we going?" the boy asked.
"To save the girl." Red answered.
"Wha-" he was silenced by Red. He then pointed to the back of the alley way, where Yancy was being held by five men.
They both took out a pokeball.
Red dispatched two without a Pokémon battle by whacking them on the head, knocking them out. The remaining three then brought out a Flygon, a Darmanitan, and a Sharpedo. Red sent out Eve, his Espeon, and the other boy sent out an Espeon as well.
Something is off about that Espeon. Thought Red.
Eve, Psychic! Thought Red.
The Flygon and Darmanitan fainted instantly. Then the other boy said, "Zor, Dark pulse!" the Sharpedo then fainted as well.
Then, something that astonished even Red, the Espeon changed into a Pokémon he had never seen before.
"Thanks Zor!" the boy said.
Red then went to handcuff the kidnappers.
"We never introduced ourselves, did we? Well my name's Nate, thanks for helping me save Yancy." The boy said. He then stood there awkwardly for a bit and then said, "Aren't you going to tell me your name?"
"Red," He said simply.
"You don't talk much do you? Well, whatever. Can you help me bring her to the Hospital?"
"Sure"
When they got her to the hospital Nate said, "Thanks again for helping her."
"You're welcome" Red said as he got up to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Nate say, "Hey Red, I hope to see you in the finals of the PWT! Champion vs. Champion!"
Hearing this as he left, Red's eyes went wide, and as he left, he saw two people hiding their faces, one whispered to the other, then the other kissed the person who had whispered. Red followed one person, and saw that person going towards the gym. He saw the person pull down her hood, and he saw that it was the gym leader, Elesa.
He ran as quickly as he could to the gym, impatient to get this gym battle over with.
When he entered the gym, he saw that the entire gym was made to be a fashion show.
Red waited patiently for the show to end, where Elesa then shouted, "Challenger, It's time to see who's star shines brightest!" She then winked at Red, who remained impassive throughout the whole thing. Elesa seemed surprised, normally a trainer will have at least blushed by now, not to mention let down their guard. The only person who had not fallen for that was-
"Well, that's an underhanded strategy," he sighed.
Elesa was shocked; no one had ever dissed her before, especially not in her gym. I'd better make sure that no one tries to harm him on his way out. She thought
"Now, let us battle!" She yelled.
She threw out Zebsrtika, and he had Pikachu jump off his shoulder. The battle lasted all of five seconds.
The entire audiences, including Elesa, were speechless; Elesa's strongest Pokémon was defeated within seconds. She sent out her next two Pokémon and the same result for each.
Whispers went throughout the crowd, "Elesa was swept!" "I can't believe she lost!" "He must have cheated."
Elesa fell to her knees, completely shocked at what just happened. Red then approached her.
"You were stronger than I thought." He said.
Elesa looked up at him, surprised.
"That was one of the longest battles I've had in Unova."
It was the most she had ever heard him say at once. She then said, "I you want a real challenge, try battling my boyfriend."
"And who is your boyfriend?" he asked.
"His name is Black."
Loooooooong chapter. It took several hours to write half of this. But still, that's not the reason I've come to talk to you today, or whenever you're reading this. I've written this story because I felt like it. And a diamond pickaxe to anyone who can figure out what the next type of story I write is. :P
