Pokémon - The Adventures of Brendan Ruby
This is another attempt at a Trainer Fic (Expecting loads of flames), but I hope there isn't this time, since I've tried to change several things about the Fic, including things like the fact that Birch won't have a son/daughter and several Pokémon that don't appear in R/S/E will appear. Also, I've taken Yami Ryu's advice into consideration in past attempts at Trainer Fics and will try to use the advice in my Fics. If you don't like Trainer Fics, don't bother reading or commenting.This Fic is about the forgotten Character, Brendan and I thought that he would be a good Character to use as a main Character and several Fics on Fanfiction.net are based on him, so I thought I would do the same. I've given Ruby as his surname, because the Manga Character (I don't read the Manga or watch the Anime) is based on Brendan. Also two pages from Word looks way shorter on the Forums.
And for anyone who is interested, this is another Fic (Non-Pokémon Fic) I wrote here.
Prologue
Goldenrod City was the greatest place to live. Well, that was Brendan Ruby’s opinion. Goldenrod was the largest city in Johto and besides Brendan's house, there was a Game Corner for all the gamblers, a Bicycle Shop where Bicycles were sold and were Brendan had bought his own Bicycle and the train station, which took its passengers to Saffron City in the Kanto Region. Brendan, unlike most kids of his age had white hair and he wore crimson coloured clothing and he had blue eyes. He was quick to anger and he had a phobia for bugs of any size. Brendan had lived in Goldenrod all his life, with his mother and father. His father, Norman was a Pokémon Trainer, who was trying to find a job as a local Gym Leader, since he did have the qualifications to be one. He was interested in Normal type Pokémon and he had raised them all of his life, since he was ten years old. Despite his son being fourteen, Brendan had never begun his Pokémon journey, like his mother, Caroline. Of course his mother had never been interested in going on a Pokémon journey, but Brendan, like his father was. His father hadn’t let Brendan become a Trainer, telling him the same thing every year, “Maybe next year”. Brendan had become annoyed, that he wasn’t allowed to start his Pokémon journey like his father had. However, Brendan had learnt about Pokémon at the school in Violet City. The only things that weren’t taught at the school were things like how to raise Pokémon efficiently or how to catch a Pokémon easily. But Brendan didn’t care. He wasn’t going to become a Trainer if his father kept preventing him from getting his Pokémon licence. Brendan decided to stop asking his parents and as he got older, he gave up on trying to be a Trainer.One day, Brendan had taken a walk, like he always did when the weather was good. On that walk, he had found an egg in a nest. Brendan didn’t feel like leaving the egg unaccompanied without its parents, so Brendan decided to wait until either of its parents decided to return. Brendan waited for over an hour and nothing happened. In the end, he picked up the egg and put it in his backpack to keep it warm. When Brendan returned home with the egg, neither of his parents told him off from taking the egg, but they advised him to keep it warm. His father had told him that the egg wouldn’t hatch for several months, so Brendan made it his duty to look after the egg, despite the fact he wasn’t a Trainer.

Three months after the events of finding the egg, Brendan had received some bad news after returning home from school. They had decided to move, due to his father finally receiving his dream job as a Gym Leader. Brendan knew that if there were a position to be a Gym Leader in Johto, his family wouldn’t need to move. His mother had told him that they were moving to Littleroot Town in the region of Hoenn. Brendan had heard about Hoenn from his mother. It was similar to Johto, but according to his mother, it had different Gym Leaders, a different Elite Four and a different Pokémon professor. Other than that, Brendan had no idea what Hoenn was like. Brendan’s family were moving in a week. Brendan’s grades at school were failing, due to the fact that he was angry at moving from the one place he had lived all his life. He had even told his parents how he felt, but his father just ignored him and his mother always told him that it would be hard for Norman to come home from Hoenn. In the end, Brendan understood and didn’t complain, but he still felt angry about going to Hoenn.

The moving day had arrived quicker than Brendan had expected. Brendan could hear the distinct sound of a diesel engine as a moving van pulled up to the Ruby household, a large, two-story brick structure with a moderately sloped roof and brown trim. The van was coloured red and labelled "Tri-City Relocation Services" on the cargo area. The vehicle featured a Ford E-450 chassis and a large, 20' cube body. A man approached and released two Pokémon from his Pokémon’s Poké Balls. The two Pokémon were both Machokes. Machoke was a Fighting type Pokémon. According to the search engines on the computers at school, Brendan found out that Machokes were muscular Pokémon that were so strong, that they could even lift up a sumo wrestler with ease.
“Brendan, while the driver and I are talking, why don’t you help the Machokes pack?” Brendan’s father asked.
“Sure,” Brendan told his father, leading the two Machokes to his bedroom.
On his desk, the egg that he had rescued sat as still as a statue. Brendan picked up the egg and put it in his backpack. He then told the two Machoke to pack everything that was in his bedroom. He didn’t want to leave anything behind. In only five minutes, the Machoke had packed everything into one of the moving vans. Brendan stood in his now empty room and adored it for one last time. He would miss his room. The turquoise wallpaper, the laminated floor and the door that stood on it's dodgy hinges. The only question Brendan had in his mind was if his new room would be as good.
“Hey kid!” The driver shouted from downstairs, “We’ve got to go!”
Brendan sighed and ran downstairs. The driver handed him a note. Brendan read the note to himself. It read:
Dear Brendan,
Your father and I have had to leave to unpack some of the stuff into our new home. We’ve told the driver of the other van to let you ride in his van. Sorry honey.
From your loving parents
Brendan sighed and folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
“Okay, I’m ready,” Brendan told the driver, “I think it’s time to leave.”
*****
Brendan was about to get into the van, but the driver stopped him.
“Sorry kid, but there is no room in the front,” The driver told him, but Brendan knew he was lying, because of the spare seats, “That is where my two Machokes sit. You’re going to have to sit with the stuff. Enjoy.”
The driver opened the back doors of the van and Brendan jumped in. The driver slammed the doors and locked them. All Brendan could see was darkness. He sighed for about the third time that day and sat in the van, waiting to see his new home. Brendan had a feeling that he wouldn’t like anything about Hoenn.
