The Corei Quest
Note: This is a fan-fiction I made. Most of the characters and Pokémon are of my own design apart form the ones you should obviously know. Those that you won’t, I’ll try to describe with as much detail as I can.
Chapter One: A Rivalry Is Born
“Attention passengers, we will be arriving at Olville Town Station in ten minutes. All passengers are to ensure that they have all their belongings on them before they leave the train. I repeat…”
I heard that already! Geez, do they think I’m deaf or something?
An eleven-year-old boy, who had previously been fast asleep yawned, stretched and scratched the back of his head under his red and white baseball cap. As he peered out of the window at the steadily approaching station, his tiredness gave way to an intense enthusiasm and excitement that had been welling up within him since he left Cherrygrove Town two days ago.
Sapphire “Sapph” Manson had begun his Pokémon journey. Admittedly not the way he desired (with his twin brother’s broken old Pokédex; a handheld computer with information on all Pokémon in the world that looked like a red flip-open calculator), but he had begun. He planned to start his journey with the strongest starter available, which in his opinion was whichever Fire Pokémon was in Professor Yew’s lab up for grabs. All the Mansons’ had begun training with Fire Pokémon: His Dad, Justin, had left Pallet Town with a Charmander, his Mum, Kathy, started from New Bark Town with a Cyndaquil and his older twin brother, Rubin had left for Littleroot Town a year before to begin with a Torchic. He wasn’t interested in the other two (especially the Grass starter as he was of the opinion that they were the slowest starters with the most weaknesses).
Finally, the train hissed and came to a screeching halt in the rustic train station. Sapph leapt down as soon as he felt the train was slow enough, winding up on the pavement face first. Just as he felt this journey had begun on a bad note, he lifted himself off the station floor to see a group of three kids laughing at him. He groaned to the asphalt just a brisk and concerned voice asked “Are you OK?”
He looked up into a pair of silver grey eyes under a wide-brimmed cowboy hat. Their owner appeared to be a girl about his age with reddish blond hair, a Red Indian style outfit and heavy-looking hiking boots. “Yeah.” he grunted, ignoring the girl’s hand and hoisting himself gingerly off the asphalt. His ego was sorer than he was, anyway.
“I’m Haley,” the girl said, “the guys laughing at you over there are my jerk of an older brother Kamren, his jerk of a girlfriend, Carla and his best friend Hugh, an idiot if you ever met one. Who are you? And,” she added with a hint of a grin she had obviously been trying to hide “where are you off to in such a hurry?”
Sapph was starting to get annoyed. “I’m Sapphire…”
“Like your eyes, hunh?” Haley asked.
“Yeah”, Sapph said, a little aggressively. Then, noting his tone said “Sorry. D’you know where to find Gus the repairman’s shop?” As anxious as he was to get going, he also knew that he had to send the Pokédex to the local repairman friend of his dad’s in town before he went to the lab.
“Yep,” Haley said. “Smallest shop on the main street with the largest sign. I’m going there myself. I’ll show you.”
“Thanks.”
As they left the station, Haley asked “So! Starting your Pokémon journey tomorrow too, hunh?”
“Wha… oh, yeah, I am.” Sapph replied nervously. This Haley character seemed to be showing quite an interest in his affairs in Olville Town. “What are you anyway? Psychic?”
“No, just intuitive. Kamren going on about how he’s going to get the Fryger tomorrow…”
“Fryger?” Sapph asked.
“Fire Tiger species. It’s the fire starter at Professor Yew’s lab…” Haley explained.
We’ll see about that, Sapph thought.
“…I mean, so what? I’d prefer Aquari, the Water Hare Pokémon. I love Water Pokémon. What type do you like?” Haley continued.
“I’d like the Fryger too.” Sapph admitted, “Aquari wouldn’t be too shabby, but I’d rather…”
“We’re here.” Haley said, interrupting Sapph.
Sapph entered Gus’s Speedy Repairs first, looking around, while Haley followed him in and went up to the main counter and rang the bell for service.
Gus was tall and looking like he was in his sixties. He gave Haley a warm smile as he came in from the back room.
“Ah, young Miss Haley! A pleasure to see you as always… I have your kettle here all fixed up… and, erm, can I help you?” Gus added with a stab of annoyance at Sapph, who was gazing, enthralled at a selection of very rare Pokéballs set in a glass case along the wall.
Sapph turned around sharply and half-abashed, half-annoyed responded, “erm, yes, please, could you take a look at my brother’s broken Pokédex for me, sir?” he added, resisting the urge to mock Gus with a curtsy and handing the device to the repairman.
“So you’d be Justin’s second boy, hmm? I heard a lot of good things about Rubin in Hoenn, very accomplished there he is- (Sapph was feeling even grouchier by now with a scowl to match) -though his Pokédex can’t say the same. Very well, I’ll take a shifty at it. Come pick it up tomorrow morning at 8:30.”
Sapph muttered his thanks and turned to leave the shop, still scowling. Haley grabbed the kettle and with a rushed “Thank you” to Gus, left after Sapph, catching up at the Pokémon Center.
“What was that all about?” she asked.
“Nothing” Sapph replied grumpily
“Sure?” Haley countered.
“Yes!”
“Okay! There’s no need to go ballistic on me! One more thing, what are you doing here? Isn’t this a guest house for trainers?”
“Nah, you think?! I’m spending the night here ‘cause, in case you haven’t noticed, I can’t spend it anywhere else! I’m all the way from Cherrygrove in Johto! Geez, what is this, 20 Questions?”
“No, it isn’t,” Haley replied, also starting to lose her temper, “It’s just that your parents arranged with Prof. Yew and my mother that you’d spend the night at our place!”
Sapph felt his frustration vanish only to be replaced with shame. Turning away and scuffing his trainers on the ground, Sapph mumbled “I’m sorry. Really.”
Haley smiled “No problem. Let’s go.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Kent Mansion was the largest building Sapph had ever seen in his life. A noble white villa set atop the hill overlooking the village with an expansive park both in the front and in the back.
“How do you like it?” Haley asked, amused at the stunned expression on Sapph’s face.
Sapph continued to stare at the house with his jaw dropped.
“My sis asked you a question, Fortree Mankey, aren’t you gonna answer?” asked a snide voice behind them. Both turned to see Kamren smirking at them. “Or is our new out of towner fancying the station platform he kissed earlier?”
Sapph groaned inwardly. He’d almost forgotten about Kamren and the fact that staying at the Kents’ would mean being under the same roof as his new rival.
“Very funny, Kammy!” Sapph retorted with a smirk of his own.
“What did you call me?” Kamren roared as Haley giggled uncontrollably.
“Hmm, deaf too… oh well, let’s go find your mum, okay?” Sapph mused, walking towards the house. Haley followed laughing as Kamren spluttered, “Get back here! You can’t call me that here…”
“What’s so funny?” Sapph asked Haley bemusedly as she still hadn’t stopped laughing yet.
Haley tried to answer, but choked as fresh peals of laughter escaped her. Sapph shrugged and raised his hand to knock the door. However, Haley just pulled out her house key and opened the door herself, sobering up slightly in the process.
“Mother, I’m home! Oh, and so is Sapph!” Haley called as they entered.
Mrs Kent was tall, graceful and in Sapph’s opinion, one of the prettiest women he’d ever seen. In her early thirties, she sort of looked like Haley, with the same silver grey eyes and reddish blonde hair which she wore in elegant tresses down her back. Wearing an emerald green dress, long white gloves and a friendly expression, she proffered her hand for Sapph to shake with an air of grace and refined dignity. I guess all moms must look pretty, Sapph thought as he shook her hand.
“Ah, Sapphire…” she began.
“Sapph.” Sapph replied as pleasantly as he could. He wasn’t really big on the name ‘Sapphire’- it sounded a little too feminine.
“Oh, sorry Sapph! How was your train trip?”
“Preetty hard, but funny from my point of view, hunh, Sapphire?” sneered Kamren nastily.
“Kammy! That wasn’t polite at all! Apologize now, please!” Mrs Kent scolded.
Now Sapph saw what Haley found funny earlier on. Resisting the urge to laugh, he watched Kamren look anywhere but at Sapph and say through gritted teeth, “I’m. Sorry.”
“That’s better. Now Sapph, how’re your parents? Kathy and I go very far back… we travelled together when we were young, you know…”
“They’re OK,” Sapph said amicably.
“…and Rubin. How’s he? It’s been a while since I heard of his exploits. Oh, don’t worry, dear, I’m sure you’ll make an excellent trainer in your own right.” She added, catching the dark expression on Sapph’s face.
“Thanks, Mrs Kent. That…erm…means a lot to me, I guess.” Sapph said quietly, a faint tinge in his cheek, turning away to watch an elegant Persian and Milotic prance out on the grounds so neither lady could see.
“Well, I suppose we’d all best get some dinner in… unless you two would like to turn in early…” Mrs Kent said, rising to her feet.
“Dinner sounds good to me!” Sapph said, springing up with Haley and proceeding to wash up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hours later, Sapph was in a guest room flicking through a book Mrs Kent had given him on raising a Pokémon’s ability to its full potential when the door opened. Sapph looked over the top of the book and scowled as he saw Kamren there with a smug smile on his face.
“Awww, don’t you just look pwecious in your widdle jammies.” He cooed mockingly. “Got tidie widies to match?”
“Why? Are your big boy boxers too large for your tiny tushie?” Sapph replied retuning to his book. He smiled faintly to himself as he heard his door slam. Closing his book, Sapph rolled over and went to sleep.
Later that night, a shadow stole into Sapph’s snoring form, pausing to hear Sapph mutter, “Who’s got the Fryger now? In your face, Kamren Kent!”
We’ll see about that, the shadow thought, leaving the room as silently as it had entered.
