Sweet Pinpuku
Happy Happiny
Hiya! And welcome to my fic!
It is set in a region that I have created myself, called Testra, and features many Pokémon that I have also made up on my own (Zeadoh, Zeadara? Do those names ring a bell with anyone??).
At the beginning of each chapter I do intend to post a short synopsis detailing what happened in the last chapter (except the first chapter of course) and a synopsis of the next chapter will follow at the end of each chapter (I will however us the spoiler things to cover it).
Anyways, enough of me rambling about that and now onto me rambling about this:
Testra – a mysterious land located far away from Kanto. It is a land of mystery and secrets that run deep into the earth, connecting it to the rest of the world by unseen threads.
Unseen to all, that is, except Pokémon!
Chapter 001 - Where World's Meet
Many trainers were gathered on the deck of the new ship – Cassandra’s Kiss. This big white ship was the only ship that travelled between Kanto and Testra. And it did not travel often.
“Can’t this damn boat move any faster?” An impatient trainer asked.
“Yeah!” Another piped up, “I’m in a hurry here, man!”
“Please be patient,” the hostess, Miss Karen Banner, said, “We will be arriving at Vichol Town soon enough.”
Vichol Town, also known as the Root of the Testra Tree, was where all of these trainers would begin their journey. Some of them, however, would be required to go to Professor Winnchi’s laboratory, to receive a Pokémon. Many trainers here had already collected a few.
The trainers were all growing restless. The boat had been travelling for several days and there were only dinners and Pokémon shows to keep the trainers occupied. They needed action!
“Perhaps a little competition could keep the trainers occupied ma’am,” Jared, one of Karen’s assistants suggested.
“Yes, a most excellent idea, mistress!” Jazzy, another assistant cheered.
Miss Banner had two trainers accompanying her at all times, Jared and Jazzy, twins who were found by her mother and raised as part of the family. Their true origins are unknown.
“Very well then,” Karen agreed, “Trainers, your attention please!”
Everyone turned to hear what Miss Banner had to say. Everyone, that is, except a young redheaded girl wearing blue jeans and a long fawn cardigan. She stood, back leaning against the wall, at the very back of the deck, farthest away from Miss Banner and her assistants. Her name was Amber.
“My assistants have suggested that we have a little battle to help pass the time.” Miss Banner announced.
Many trainers cheered, desperate for some kind of excitment. Others seemed uninterested, like there was no fun in this challenge.
“Do we have any volunteers?” Miss Banner asked.
“I will!” A young man called out before anyone else.
He moved to the front of the deck. He wore a long dark cloak over a purple tracksuit. He was known throughout the Johto region as Clive, the Dragon Master!
“Very well,” Miss Banner nodded in acceptance, “Would anyone like to challenge this young man?”
Pretty much everyone took a step back. Everyone who was anyone knew of this man and his ferocious Dragons.
“No-one?” Miss Banner smiled, “Very well,” and turned to face her assistants, “Jazzy, if you please.”
“No problem boss-woman!” Jazzy shouted as she jumped towards Clive, “Prepare to lose Dragon-boy!” She cackled and threw out a white and red orb.
The ball landed on the deck and opened, releasing a brilliant white light. The light slowly moved and began to take a shape – a dark woman wearing a lovely red dress with bright yellow hair. The Pokémon Jynx!
“Fine!” Clive huffed, “I choose you!” He cried as he too threw out a ball.
The ball opened in the air and flew back to Clive. The white energy swirled around on the deck and formed a large, orange creature. It had sharp claws and teeth and a flame at the tip of its tail.
“Charmelon, begin with Ember!” Clive ordered.
The scaley skinned Pokémon took in a deep breath and spewed hot flames at the ice woman.
"Jynxie! Quickly, get out of the way!" Jazzy screeched.
Jynx, incredibly quickly, dived out of the way to dodge the flames. She landed on her front, inches away from her trainer.
"Now, Charmeleon!" Clive laughed, "Finish her off with Fire Spin!"
Before Charmelon had a chance to use his attack, however, a young girl with pink pigtails began jumping up and down and yelling. Everyone, including Charmeleon and Jynx, turned to see what was going on.
“I see it! I see it!” She screamed as she pointed out towards a large green island, “That’s it! That’s Testra!”
Everyone looked on in amazement. Even the girl named Amber, who had seemed completely oblivious to the other trainers before now, joined the group to look at the magnificent island. Her long fawn cardigan wrapped itself around her when a small breeze passed by. It sent shivers down her spine.
“Looks like this battle is over Jazzy,” Karen laughed, “It’s time for everyone to go.”
“But! But Karen!” Jazzy whined.
“Shut it!” Jared said, “She said it’s over!”
Jazzy whimpered and hid herself behind her mistress.
Karen Banner turned once more to face the group of trainers about to set off an explore the region of Testra.
“It’s a shame,” she sighed.
“What’s a shame, ma’am?” Jared asked softly.
“It’s a shame,” Karen repeated, “That all we get to do is deliver these poor souls to our Queen.”
She shook her head and, followed by her assistants Jared and Jazzy, headed to the bridge where she told the captain to dock at Vichol Port.
“I really cannot be bothered doing this!” A young girl with long dark haired whined, “This is, like, so lame!”
“Now, now, Trini,” an elderly woman said, “You promised you would.” The woman handed the girl Trini a Pokéball with a leaf symbol on it, “Go on, and make your Grandfather proud!”
Trini reluctantly took the ball and left the small cottage she lived in with her Grandmother, Ina. She was wearing her favourite outfit today – a yellow top, black combats and a matching black bag. She was all set for her journey. And, with an unenthusiastic sign, she headed towards a small sign that read:
Vichol Town – the Root of the Testra Tree.
North – Presam Farm, Vichol Path and beyond!
She moved around the sign and head north.
The large white boat was now docked and most of the trainers were already off, half them beyond Vichol Town now too. Amber, however, was moving slowly and carelessly. She thought the life of a Pokémon trainer was going to be easy – simply get a Pokémon, defeat eight Gym Leaders and then off to the Elite Four. Almost everyone had done it at least once by now, so it couldn’t be that hard, could it?
Or could it?
Amber froze. Was she sure she was doing the right thing? Was this really what she wanted – to travel around the world with her Pokémon partner, force them to fight for her just to win some stupid badge that basically said I defeated this guy, I’m smart!
Yes. This is what she told her parents she was going to do. She had already left and now it was too late to go back. What would she say to them anyway, sorry, but I’ve changed my mind? Her parents wouldn’t like that very much, to say the least.
And so, Amber continued walking towards the large glass dome-shaped structure – Professor Winnchi’s Pokémon Laboratory.
A young man rain his long fingers through his long white hair. He sat on top of a hill overlooking the town known as Vichol, the root of the Testra tree. He pulled a Pokéball with a fire symbol on it from his jeans pocket. Inside was his very first Pokémon, one he had received just several days ago, before the other two trainers were to receive theirs. He simply couldn’t wait. He had to solve the mystery of Testra and its roots. But where could the answer lie?
Was it to do with the Pokémon native to this region alone, or was it something bigger, something to do with the legendary Pokémon known as the Nuns? Or, maybe, just maybe, it ran deeper than even them, deep into the earth itself.
Wherever it was, he would find it and solve the mystery. Even if it was the last thing he ever did.
Inside the lab, it was extremely warm. How could the Professor survive, day-to-day, in this place?
“H-hello?” Amber called out nervously.
The lab was very small and round. Opposite the entrance was a desk with a compute sitting on it. Next to that sat an odd looking machine with six slots on it and a control panel hanging from its side.
“Professor Winnchi?” Amber called out again, “Are you in here?”
Amber slowly turned full circle, taking in the entire room. In the centre of the room lay an overturned desk surrounded by broken glass. Amber moved towards it. As she approached the area, she noticed a small Pokéball with a water symbol on it.
Amber, slowly, carefully, picked it up and pressed the button on its centre. It practically doubled in size! Startled, Amber let out a faint cry and dropped the ball. It landed on the metal floor of the lab and opened.
A bright light emerged from the ball and floated to the floor. It took on the shape of a bubble-shaped creature with a large eye as the core of its body.
“Oh my.” Amber gasped, “What? What are you?”
The eye creature simply looked up. It had a mouth!
"Oh my!" Amber repeated as she took a step back.
Amber then followed its gaze to see a large hole in the glass roof of the laboratory with strands of netting caught on some shards.
“What did this?” Amber asked as she turned to look at the blue Pokémon.
It was no longer where it had been sitting moments ago.
“Hey! Amber cried, “Where’d you go?” She turned full circle once more to find the creature, but it was gone.
“Blee!” A high-pitched voice sounded.
Amber swirled around, but she still couldn’t see it.
“Blee, bleeehehehe!” It giggled.
Amber continued moving about that lab, however the Pokémon had definitely vanished. Where was it? She noticed several bubbles floating down from somewhere above her. She looked up to the hole in the glass and there it was!
“Come down from there right now!” Amber shouted at that bubble creature.
"Blee?" It asked, puzzled by her command.
"If you don't come down, you'll probably fall!" Amber told it.
"Blee?" It repeated and the nodded to itself, “Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” It cried out as it jumped down.
“No!” Amber shrieked and moved herself into position to catch it. It landed safely in her arms. It was very smooth and squidgy, it reminded her of jelly.
“Thank goodness you’re ok,” she sighed in relief, “Now, let’s get out of here and find the Professor.”
Amber walked from the lab and into the town. There was no Pokémon Centre in sight and only a few stone cottages could be seen. A girl wearing yellow and black exited one house and paused, Amber watched her. The mysterious girl than headed north, towards and sign post, and then continued on beyond it.
Amber walked over to the sign and read it:
Vichol Town – the Root of the Testra Tree.
North – Presam Farm, Vichol Path and beyond!
“Presam Farm?” Amber asked aloud, “Maybe the Professor is there!”
“Blee!” the Pokémon agreed.
The two of them also headed to the north.
“I can’t wait to get my hands on those Pokémon!” A man with a deep voice said, “Those Pokémon are supposed to surprisingly powerful!”
He was big bulk of a man, wearing a think black jacket and black jeans. He was also bald.
“Clefairy!” A pink fairy-creature beside him yelled.
The Clefairy’s brown ears twitched.
“Is someone coming Clefairy?” the man asked.
“Cleff!” the creature nodded.
“Then hide!” He ordered.
The two dived into some bushes.
Amber turned round to face Vichol Town. She could just make out the lights inside the little cottages, the glass dome sat in darkness.
Going back was still an option, she thought to herself, but, if she did that, then she'd have to leave her new friend behind because it didn't belong to her.
“Blee, bleepoo!” Her new Pokémon said.
“Your right,” Amber smiled, “Let’s keep going.”
Small bushes lined the sides of the dirt path; behind them were many trees that Amber could not see beyond. They had past several signs saying that Presam Farm was not far and that, if they continued on this path, it would talk them straight there in less than a day.
The sun was setting and the moon could almost be seen floating above them. The sky was turning purple and it was far too cloudy to see any stars. They only had the moon to light their path.
“We should probably stop for the night.” Amber suggested.
“Belee!” the Pokémon yawned and it’s large white-eye turned to a dark blue colour. It was asleep.
“Guess that’s a yes then.” Amber smiled.
She lay her Pokémon down on the ground next to her brown backpack. She opened the pack as quietly as possible and set out her sleeping bag, climbed into it and settled down for the night.
The bushes nearest her head rustled. Amber’s eyes opened quickly. She sat up and looked around – nothing.
“Probably just me freaking myself out.” She sighed and lay back down.
The bushes rustled again.
“Ok, this time I know I heard something!” She said as she clambered out of her sleeping bag and got to her feet.
She turned around to see if her bubble friend was all right and saw two hands reaching out for it.
“Hey!” Amber shouted, “Get away from him!”
Trini walked slowly through the forest. Although she had a flashlight that was lighting the path for her, she still felt like she was surrounded by darkness and evil. Footsteps and an odd crackling sounded behind her.
“Who’s there?” She cried as she whirled around.
Nothing.
“Phew!” She sighed and turned back.
More footsteps behind her, running fast!
Trini turned around again and was knocked over by some guy.
“Hey, would you, like, watch where you’re going?” She snapped as she brushed herself off.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but I was in a hurry,” the guy who bumped into said as he helped her to her feet.
“Oh, well!” She started.
The man was about seventeen with soft white hair. He wore blue jeans and a blue denim jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. His eyes were a dazzling shade of green and his smile was so. . .so. . .
“Oh, that’s totally ok.” She blinked into his eyes, “My name’s Trini.”
“Uh, hey,” the guy said uncomfortably, “I’m Skye.”
“Skye. . .oh. . .” Trini repeated, “Such a lovely name. . .”
“Hey! Get away from him!” A girl shouted somewhere in the distance.
“Did you hear?” Skye turned round.
“No, I didn’t hear. . .aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!” Trini screamed.
Skye turned back to her to see his Pokémon rubbing its ears against her leg.
“Brunka! Stop that!” Skye ordered.
The Baby Flame Pokémon blinked up at its master with huge black eyes. Brunka was made of pure fire, resting on top of green fur. It could sense water when it was near and could withdraw its flames into its fur to protect itself.
It had the ability to change its flame shape to be whatever it wanted, which was especially useful when it got into trouble. However, this Brunka preferred to look cute at all times!
“Breee?” It shuffled towards Skye and he rubbed its ears.
“Hey, buddy, I’m sorry I yelled.” Skye smiled at his Pokémon, “Now, wanna help me investigate?”
“Breee!” Brunka jumped up for joy.
“C’mon then, let’s go!” Skye laughed as he headed towards the sound of the girl’s voice, “Trini? Are you gonna come too?”
“Well, of course I am!” She said grumpily and ran off.
Skye and Brunka followed.
“Hey girly, ain’t you a bit young to be handlin’ such a delicate Pokémon?” The big brutey thief asked.
“Clefairy!” His Celfairy snapped.
“I am not too young, I’m sixteen you know!” Amber said, “Now, take your hands off my Pokémon!”
“Your Pokémon?” The brute laughed, “I bet ya don’t even know its name!”
“It’s name?” Amber looked lost, “I, uh, it’s name is. . .uh. . .”
“Its name is Flome!” A young man with white hair shouted out.
“Breee!” A small fireball lying on what looked like grass yelled as it Tackled the brute, releasing the Flome from his grasp.
The girl wearing yellow and black also appeared, with a PokéBall in her hand, “You should know better big man!” She laughed as she threw her ball into the air, “It is so not cool to pick of kids!”
Trini’s Pokéball opened and revealed Zeady, the Seed Pokémon. The Zeady was made up of four leaves, all closing in on each other making the Pokémon look like a bud. The leaves protected its tender sap-like body inside.
“Zeady!” Trini pointed at the pink fairy with curly hair, “Use Sticky Sap!”
Zeady bounced towards Clefairy and parted two of its leaves ever-so slightly, it then shot yellow sap at its foe. The sap surrounded Clefairy and hardened, trapping it.
“Way to go Zeady!” Trini cheered as her Pokémon bounced into her arms.
“That ain’t all I gots!” The thief boasted, “I choose you!” He too threw out a PokéBall.
The energy from this one took on the shape of a large yellow mouse, with a zigzag tail and pointy brown ears. Tiny zaps of electricity flickered from its red cheeks.
“Pikachu! Use Thundershock on Flome!” The brute ordered.
The Electric Mouse Pokémon jumped into the air and shot electricity from its cheeks down towards Amber and Flome.
“Oh no you don’t!” Skye leapt and pushed the pair out of the way, “Brunka!” He yelled as he turned his attention back to the battle, “Get ‘em with Ember!”
Brunka took in air until he is green fur looked like it was gonna pop, he then spat out hot flames from his mouth at Pikachu, Clefairy and their master. The fire surrounded them and burned them all.
“Retreat!” The thief yelled as he called back his Pokémon, “Screw the rare Pokémon, let’s get outta here!” He shouted as he ran away, back towards Vichol Town.
“Brunka!” Skye said as he held out a PokéBall.
“Zeady!” Trini too held one.
“Return!” They both ordered.
Beams of red light shot out from each ball and pulled the two Pokémon back inside.
“Thank you both so much!” Amber said as she stood between the.
“No problem!” the white haired man smiled, “By the way, my name’s Skye!”
“Yeah, that challenge, was, like, so beneath me!” the girl in yellow and black laughed, “You may call me Trini!”
“Skye, Trini, it’s so very nice to meet you.” Amber smiled back at them, but then turned her attention to the ground, “It seems I still have much to learn about Pokémon.”
“That’s no big deal,” Skye said cheerily, “We’ll help you, won’t we Trini?”
“Whatever.” Trini sighed.
“Hey, it’s better travelling in a group than it is alone.” Skye smiled.
“You guys sure?” Amber gleamed, “You’ll really help me out?”
Trini smiled at her, “Sure, why not!”
The three young trainers laughed and headed off on their journey, beginning with the Persam Farm and finding the missing Professor!
Next Chapter
[SPOIL]Parasites!
Amber, Skye and Trini visit Persam, a Pokémon Farm run by Alma Persim. While there, the group recieves disturbing information and have to deal with one their own being captured![/SPOIL]
I think that's the first fic I've done (since my first one) that did not have a prologue.
I don't think my descriptions were too great (if anyone can help me with that, I would appreciate it), but I think it's quite good. I am also unsure of what rating this fic should have (I was thinking PG-13, but maybe lower or something). What do you think?
~Sun ;192;
It is set in a region that I have created myself, called Testra, and features many Pokémon that I have also made up on my own (Zeadoh, Zeadara? Do those names ring a bell with anyone??).
At the beginning of each chapter I do intend to post a short synopsis detailing what happened in the last chapter (except the first chapter of course) and a synopsis of the next chapter will follow at the end of each chapter (I will however us the spoiler things to cover it).
Anyways, enough of me rambling about that and now onto me rambling about this:
Testra – a mysterious land located far away from Kanto. It is a land of mystery and secrets that run deep into the earth, connecting it to the rest of the world by unseen threads.
Unseen to all, that is, except Pokémon!
Chapter 001 - Where World's Meet
Many trainers were gathered on the deck of the new ship – Cassandra’s Kiss. This big white ship was the only ship that travelled between Kanto and Testra. And it did not travel often.
“Can’t this damn boat move any faster?” An impatient trainer asked.
“Yeah!” Another piped up, “I’m in a hurry here, man!”
“Please be patient,” the hostess, Miss Karen Banner, said, “We will be arriving at Vichol Town soon enough.”
Vichol Town, also known as the Root of the Testra Tree, was where all of these trainers would begin their journey. Some of them, however, would be required to go to Professor Winnchi’s laboratory, to receive a Pokémon. Many trainers here had already collected a few.
The trainers were all growing restless. The boat had been travelling for several days and there were only dinners and Pokémon shows to keep the trainers occupied. They needed action!
“Perhaps a little competition could keep the trainers occupied ma’am,” Jared, one of Karen’s assistants suggested.
“Yes, a most excellent idea, mistress!” Jazzy, another assistant cheered.
Miss Banner had two trainers accompanying her at all times, Jared and Jazzy, twins who were found by her mother and raised as part of the family. Their true origins are unknown.
“Very well then,” Karen agreed, “Trainers, your attention please!”
Everyone turned to hear what Miss Banner had to say. Everyone, that is, except a young redheaded girl wearing blue jeans and a long fawn cardigan. She stood, back leaning against the wall, at the very back of the deck, farthest away from Miss Banner and her assistants. Her name was Amber.
“My assistants have suggested that we have a little battle to help pass the time.” Miss Banner announced.
Many trainers cheered, desperate for some kind of excitment. Others seemed uninterested, like there was no fun in this challenge.
“Do we have any volunteers?” Miss Banner asked.
“I will!” A young man called out before anyone else.
He moved to the front of the deck. He wore a long dark cloak over a purple tracksuit. He was known throughout the Johto region as Clive, the Dragon Master!
“Very well,” Miss Banner nodded in acceptance, “Would anyone like to challenge this young man?”
Pretty much everyone took a step back. Everyone who was anyone knew of this man and his ferocious Dragons.
“No-one?” Miss Banner smiled, “Very well,” and turned to face her assistants, “Jazzy, if you please.”
“No problem boss-woman!” Jazzy shouted as she jumped towards Clive, “Prepare to lose Dragon-boy!” She cackled and threw out a white and red orb.
The ball landed on the deck and opened, releasing a brilliant white light. The light slowly moved and began to take a shape – a dark woman wearing a lovely red dress with bright yellow hair. The Pokémon Jynx!
“Fine!” Clive huffed, “I choose you!” He cried as he too threw out a ball.
The ball opened in the air and flew back to Clive. The white energy swirled around on the deck and formed a large, orange creature. It had sharp claws and teeth and a flame at the tip of its tail.
“Charmelon, begin with Ember!” Clive ordered.
The scaley skinned Pokémon took in a deep breath and spewed hot flames at the ice woman.
"Jynxie! Quickly, get out of the way!" Jazzy screeched.
Jynx, incredibly quickly, dived out of the way to dodge the flames. She landed on her front, inches away from her trainer.
"Now, Charmeleon!" Clive laughed, "Finish her off with Fire Spin!"
Before Charmelon had a chance to use his attack, however, a young girl with pink pigtails began jumping up and down and yelling. Everyone, including Charmeleon and Jynx, turned to see what was going on.
“I see it! I see it!” She screamed as she pointed out towards a large green island, “That’s it! That’s Testra!”
Everyone looked on in amazement. Even the girl named Amber, who had seemed completely oblivious to the other trainers before now, joined the group to look at the magnificent island. Her long fawn cardigan wrapped itself around her when a small breeze passed by. It sent shivers down her spine.
“Looks like this battle is over Jazzy,” Karen laughed, “It’s time for everyone to go.”
“But! But Karen!” Jazzy whined.
“Shut it!” Jared said, “She said it’s over!”
Jazzy whimpered and hid herself behind her mistress.
Karen Banner turned once more to face the group of trainers about to set off an explore the region of Testra.
“It’s a shame,” she sighed.
“What’s a shame, ma’am?” Jared asked softly.
“It’s a shame,” Karen repeated, “That all we get to do is deliver these poor souls to our Queen.”
She shook her head and, followed by her assistants Jared and Jazzy, headed to the bridge where she told the captain to dock at Vichol Port.
************
“I really cannot be bothered doing this!” A young girl with long dark haired whined, “This is, like, so lame!”
“Now, now, Trini,” an elderly woman said, “You promised you would.” The woman handed the girl Trini a Pokéball with a leaf symbol on it, “Go on, and make your Grandfather proud!”
Trini reluctantly took the ball and left the small cottage she lived in with her Grandmother, Ina. She was wearing her favourite outfit today – a yellow top, black combats and a matching black bag. She was all set for her journey. And, with an unenthusiastic sign, she headed towards a small sign that read:
Vichol Town – the Root of the Testra Tree.
North – Presam Farm, Vichol Path and beyond!
She moved around the sign and head north.
************
The large white boat was now docked and most of the trainers were already off, half them beyond Vichol Town now too. Amber, however, was moving slowly and carelessly. She thought the life of a Pokémon trainer was going to be easy – simply get a Pokémon, defeat eight Gym Leaders and then off to the Elite Four. Almost everyone had done it at least once by now, so it couldn’t be that hard, could it?

Yes. This is what she told her parents she was going to do. She had already left and now it was too late to go back. What would she say to them anyway, sorry, but I’ve changed my mind? Her parents wouldn’t like that very much, to say the least.
And so, Amber continued walking towards the large glass dome-shaped structure – Professor Winnchi’s Pokémon Laboratory.
************
A young man rain his long fingers through his long white hair. He sat on top of a hill overlooking the town known as Vichol, the root of the Testra tree. He pulled a Pokéball with a fire symbol on it from his jeans pocket. Inside was his very first Pokémon, one he had received just several days ago, before the other two trainers were to receive theirs. He simply couldn’t wait. He had to solve the mystery of Testra and its roots. But where could the answer lie?
Was it to do with the Pokémon native to this region alone, or was it something bigger, something to do with the legendary Pokémon known as the Nuns? Or, maybe, just maybe, it ran deeper than even them, deep into the earth itself.
Wherever it was, he would find it and solve the mystery. Even if it was the last thing he ever did.

Inside the lab, it was extremely warm. How could the Professor survive, day-to-day, in this place?
“H-hello?” Amber called out nervously.
The lab was very small and round. Opposite the entrance was a desk with a compute sitting on it. Next to that sat an odd looking machine with six slots on it and a control panel hanging from its side.

The eye creature simply looked up. It had a mouth!

Amber then followed its gaze to see a large hole in the glass roof of the laboratory with strands of netting caught on some shards.

“Come down from there right now!” Amber shouted at that bubble creature.
"Blee?" It asked, puzzled by her command.
"If you don't come down, you'll probably fall!" Amber told it.
"Blee?" It repeated and the nodded to itself, “Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” It cried out as it jumped down.
“No!” Amber shrieked and moved herself into position to catch it. It landed safely in her arms. It was very smooth and squidgy, it reminded her of jelly.
“Thank goodness you’re ok,” she sighed in relief, “Now, let’s get out of here and find the Professor.”
************
Amber walked from the lab and into the town. There was no Pokémon Centre in sight and only a few stone cottages could be seen. A girl wearing yellow and black exited one house and paused, Amber watched her. The mysterious girl than headed north, towards and sign post, and then continued on beyond it.
Amber walked over to the sign and read it:
Vichol Town – the Root of the Testra Tree.
North – Presam Farm, Vichol Path and beyond!
“Presam Farm?” Amber asked aloud, “Maybe the Professor is there!”
“Blee!” the Pokémon agreed.
The two of them also headed to the north.
************
“I can’t wait to get my hands on those Pokémon!” A man with a deep voice said, “Those Pokémon are supposed to surprisingly powerful!”
He was big bulk of a man, wearing a think black jacket and black jeans. He was also bald.
“Clefairy!” A pink fairy-creature beside him yelled.
The Clefairy’s brown ears twitched.
“Is someone coming Clefairy?” the man asked.
“Cleff!” the creature nodded.
“Then hide!” He ordered.
The two dived into some bushes.
************
Amber turned round to face Vichol Town. She could just make out the lights inside the little cottages, the glass dome sat in darkness.
Going back was still an option, she thought to herself, but, if she did that, then she'd have to leave her new friend behind because it didn't belong to her.
“Blee, bleepoo!” Her new Pokémon said.
“Your right,” Amber smiled, “Let’s keep going.”
Small bushes lined the sides of the dirt path; behind them were many trees that Amber could not see beyond. They had past several signs saying that Presam Farm was not far and that, if they continued on this path, it would talk them straight there in less than a day.
The sun was setting and the moon could almost be seen floating above them. The sky was turning purple and it was far too cloudy to see any stars. They only had the moon to light their path.
“We should probably stop for the night.” Amber suggested.
“Belee!” the Pokémon yawned and it’s large white-eye turned to a dark blue colour. It was asleep.
“Guess that’s a yes then.” Amber smiled.
She lay her Pokémon down on the ground next to her brown backpack. She opened the pack as quietly as possible and set out her sleeping bag, climbed into it and settled down for the night.
The bushes nearest her head rustled. Amber’s eyes opened quickly. She sat up and looked around – nothing.
“Probably just me freaking myself out.” She sighed and lay back down.
The bushes rustled again.
“Ok, this time I know I heard something!” She said as she clambered out of her sleeping bag and got to her feet.
She turned around to see if her bubble friend was all right and saw two hands reaching out for it.
“Hey!” Amber shouted, “Get away from him!”
************
Trini walked slowly through the forest. Although she had a flashlight that was lighting the path for her, she still felt like she was surrounded by darkness and evil. Footsteps and an odd crackling sounded behind her.
“Who’s there?” She cried as she whirled around.
Nothing.
“Phew!” She sighed and turned back.
More footsteps behind her, running fast!
Trini turned around again and was knocked over by some guy.
“Hey, would you, like, watch where you’re going?” She snapped as she brushed herself off.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but I was in a hurry,” the guy who bumped into said as he helped her to her feet.
“Oh, well!” She started.
The man was about seventeen with soft white hair. He wore blue jeans and a blue denim jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. His eyes were a dazzling shade of green and his smile was so. . .so. . .
“Oh, that’s totally ok.” She blinked into his eyes, “My name’s Trini.”
“Uh, hey,” the guy said uncomfortably, “I’m Skye.”
“Skye. . .oh. . .” Trini repeated, “Such a lovely name. . .”
“Hey! Get away from him!” A girl shouted somewhere in the distance.
“Did you hear?” Skye turned round.
“No, I didn’t hear. . .aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!” Trini screamed.
Skye turned back to her to see his Pokémon rubbing its ears against her leg.
“Brunka! Stop that!” Skye ordered.
The Baby Flame Pokémon blinked up at its master with huge black eyes. Brunka was made of pure fire, resting on top of green fur. It could sense water when it was near and could withdraw its flames into its fur to protect itself.
It had the ability to change its flame shape to be whatever it wanted, which was especially useful when it got into trouble. However, this Brunka preferred to look cute at all times!
“Breee?” It shuffled towards Skye and he rubbed its ears.
“Hey, buddy, I’m sorry I yelled.” Skye smiled at his Pokémon, “Now, wanna help me investigate?”
“Breee!” Brunka jumped up for joy.
“C’mon then, let’s go!” Skye laughed as he headed towards the sound of the girl’s voice, “Trini? Are you gonna come too?”
“Well, of course I am!” She said grumpily and ran off.
Skye and Brunka followed.
************
“Hey girly, ain’t you a bit young to be handlin’ such a delicate Pokémon?” The big brutey thief asked.
“Clefairy!” His Celfairy snapped.
“I am not too young, I’m sixteen you know!” Amber said, “Now, take your hands off my Pokémon!”
“Your Pokémon?” The brute laughed, “I bet ya don’t even know its name!”
“It’s name?” Amber looked lost, “I, uh, it’s name is. . .uh. . .”
“Its name is Flome!” A young man with white hair shouted out.
“Breee!” A small fireball lying on what looked like grass yelled as it Tackled the brute, releasing the Flome from his grasp.
The girl wearing yellow and black also appeared, with a PokéBall in her hand, “You should know better big man!” She laughed as she threw her ball into the air, “It is so not cool to pick of kids!”
Trini’s Pokéball opened and revealed Zeady, the Seed Pokémon. The Zeady was made up of four leaves, all closing in on each other making the Pokémon look like a bud. The leaves protected its tender sap-like body inside.
“Zeady!” Trini pointed at the pink fairy with curly hair, “Use Sticky Sap!”
Zeady bounced towards Clefairy and parted two of its leaves ever-so slightly, it then shot yellow sap at its foe. The sap surrounded Clefairy and hardened, trapping it.
“Way to go Zeady!” Trini cheered as her Pokémon bounced into her arms.
“That ain’t all I gots!” The thief boasted, “I choose you!” He too threw out a PokéBall.
The energy from this one took on the shape of a large yellow mouse, with a zigzag tail and pointy brown ears. Tiny zaps of electricity flickered from its red cheeks.
“Pikachu! Use Thundershock on Flome!” The brute ordered.
The Electric Mouse Pokémon jumped into the air and shot electricity from its cheeks down towards Amber and Flome.
“Oh no you don’t!” Skye leapt and pushed the pair out of the way, “Brunka!” He yelled as he turned his attention back to the battle, “Get ‘em with Ember!”
Brunka took in air until he is green fur looked like it was gonna pop, he then spat out hot flames from his mouth at Pikachu, Clefairy and their master. The fire surrounded them and burned them all.
“Retreat!” The thief yelled as he called back his Pokémon, “Screw the rare Pokémon, let’s get outta here!” He shouted as he ran away, back towards Vichol Town.
“Brunka!” Skye said as he held out a PokéBall.
“Zeady!” Trini too held one.
“Return!” They both ordered.
Beams of red light shot out from each ball and pulled the two Pokémon back inside.
“Thank you both so much!” Amber said as she stood between the.
“No problem!” the white haired man smiled, “By the way, my name’s Skye!”
“Yeah, that challenge, was, like, so beneath me!” the girl in yellow and black laughed, “You may call me Trini!”
“Skye, Trini, it’s so very nice to meet you.” Amber smiled back at them, but then turned her attention to the ground, “It seems I still have much to learn about Pokémon.”
“That’s no big deal,” Skye said cheerily, “We’ll help you, won’t we Trini?”
“Whatever.” Trini sighed.
“Hey, it’s better travelling in a group than it is alone.” Skye smiled.
“You guys sure?” Amber gleamed, “You’ll really help me out?”
Trini smiled at her, “Sure, why not!”
The three young trainers laughed and headed off on their journey, beginning with the Persam Farm and finding the missing Professor!

I think that's the first fic I've done (since my first one) that did not have a prologue.
I don't think my descriptions were too great (if anyone can help me with that, I would appreciate it), but I think it's quite good. I am also unsure of what rating this fic should have (I was thinking PG-13, but maybe lower or something). What do you think?
