Chapter 2: Meet the Pokemon leugue champion Anton!
Ryan quickly put the red and white Pokeball on the strap along his backpack. There were three holsters on each strap. The left strap had two Pokeballs on it. Ryan started walking again and about half an hour later, he ran into a trainer on a scooter.
Ryan looked the trainer up and down taking in every detail - the blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, red vest that hung open revealing a muscular body and six pack, jeans which were stained brown and green thanks to all the crawling around in the grass and slightly tanned skin. Ryan also looked at the silver scooter with its six-inch wheels and chrome rims. Coincidentally the other trainer was eyeing Ryan, Ryan’s open sweater, his white teethe visible part which read “-ing to be the mas- to be the ver”, his green pants, brown eyes and black hair.
“I-I-I m Rya-a-an,” he stuttered in a low voice.
“Well, I'm Anton, the Pokemon League Champion.” the trainer said bravely.
Ryan guessed from the trainer's voice he was no more than fourteen.
“You must be new to this world. How long ago did you get your first Pokemon?” Anton asked, looking Ryan up and down.
“About forty five minutes ago-why?” Ryan replied quivering slightly now that he knew who this trainer was.
“So we're thirteen… nice! I caught my first one about nine months ago!” Anton said a bit louder then needed.
At this, Ryan started quivering like crazy. “This trainer’s only been with his Pokemon for nine months in the Nahara region and he’s already the best!” Ryan thought
“So...) do you want to come along with me to Boiltop town?” Anton asked.
Ryan took out his little red PokeNav and consulted it. It showed that Boiltop was where the first gym leader was. It was about five days walk from here. Closing the PokeNav and smiling Ryan said,
“Yeah I'll come.”
“Alright. Let me just put the scooter away and take out my Pokemon.” Anton said as his took apart the scooter. For the first time Ryan saw Anton’s bag - it was black with much sewing where it had ripped. Currently there were about ten rips on it. Anton took the scooter pieces and put them into the main compartment of the bag. He then clipped the bag up and swung it around his back. Ryan then saw the strap, which was under the jacket and was black in color . It was single strap and had six spots for Pokeballs - which were filled with two Pokeballs, one Great Ball, two Ultra Balls and a steel ball. Anton reached for his strap of Pokeballs and one by one he released his Pokemon
The steel ball contained a Scizor who instantly looked around and then seeing Ryan opened and closed his pincers menacingly, the first pokeball contained a Flyrion a pokemon who resembled a Scarmory but was smaller and completely silver except for its black beak and white eyes, the great ball had a GroundMingo a Pokemon who looked like a flamingo who dug underground and only showed its long neck, the first Ultra ball had a Salamence who flapped its wings a few times then lied down with its wings folded and the second one containing a Butterfree who when released took to camly and steadily beating its wings. With every wing beat it shot up a few inches then floated down a get before shooting up again a few inches. Finally Anton threw open the final ball releasing a Scyther who stood by Anton like Anton was his father. Ryan could tell that Scyther was the strongest by how Scyther stood by Anton.
Ryan let out his Pokemon - who were intimidated by Anton’s Pokemon. Ralts quickly ran behind Ryan’s leg and hid. Tadpolite sat their looking at the Pokemon terrified.
The group started walking and, after a bit, ran into a dog-like Pokemon who was black and started barking at them
Ryan told Anton he would handle this and told Tadpolite and told it to use pound. The slimy little fish used pound to hurt it but got hit back by the Pokemon’s Bite - it took a sizeable amount of damage and tried to get up but could not. Ryan switched him for Ralts. He had no clue to what Ralts could do so he checked the Pokedex.
“This Ralts knows Growl, Confusion and Hypnosis,” it said, after a scan.
“Ralts, use confusion!!” Ryan shouted wildly not knowing what to use. He was completely freaked out. He was being watched by the best and had no clue as to what to use. In Anton’s eyes he must have been a complete loser to be crushed this easily
The newborn's little green horn glowed purple for a second and the dog went flying. The little dog tried to get up but the mixture of Tadpolites pound and Ralts’ confusion seemed to be too much.
Right before they left, Ryan consulted the Pokedex.
“Brinsin, the dog Pokemon. This Pokemon was once considered to be related to Poochyena but was later found to be related to Growlithe,” it said.
