Welcome everybody, to my first-ever fanfic!
The Rise of the Phoenix
This fanfic ties in with the other NCTH fanfics. This fanfic’s time period is before the time periods of the other fics. If some information in this fic is not chronologically correct, I apologize, and please let me know. I will try to fix it as best I can.
Chapter 1- Introductions
It was a quiet evening in Snowpoint City. Footsteps could be heard crunching snow, heading in the direction of Snowpoint Temple. The doors were opened, and somebody walked inside.
“Oh, dear. Is it just me, or did it get colder out there than before? What’s odd is that this usually doesn’t happen…” muttered Phoenix.
The 15-year old boy shook his hair. He buttoned his black vest and shook snow off his jeans. His red eyes shone faintly in the cold temple.
The temple was a magnificent architectural feat. The stone columns were hand-crafted, and the statues were gorgeous to look at. Phoenix looked around, taking in every little detail. He noticed something. Seeing as how visibility was almost zero because of the snow and darkness, he needed the help of a Pokemon.
“Magnezone! Go!”
Out the pokeball came a silver and grey Magnezone. As it came out, a little sparkle flew around.
“Magnezone, use Flash!” commanded Phoenix.
With a spectacular burst of light, Magnezone illuminated the area.
All of a sudden, Phoenix heard a scratching sound behind one of the statues in the back of the room. He thought about it for a moment, and then quickly remembered.
“Sneasel, stop that.” said Phoenix.
“Snee?”
He walked up to the Sneasel and put his hand on her forehead. He shut his eyes and concentrated.
“Sneasel, what’s wrong?” asked Phoenix.
“I don’t like this place! There are trainers who come in here, thinking I’m a wild Pokemon, when I’m not! They always try and catch me, and make their pokemon attack me! It’s not right!” whined Sneasel.
“I understand. I know what it’s like.” Reminisced Phoenix.
He took a moment to think about his past. In many ways, him and Sneasel were alike. They had both been through a traumatic time in their past. A traumatic time… near home…
A home…
A light bulb flashed over his head. It became clear to him. He had an idea.
“Sneasel, how would you like to stay home with my parents?” asked Phoenix.
“Really? Umm… I’m not sure…” She responded.
“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. My parents will take good care of you, Sneasel.” Said Phoenix.
“Ohhh… You better be right about this!”
With that decided, Phoenix took the Sneasel in his arms and headed outside.
“Good job, Magnezone.” Said Phoenix. “Return.”
With that, the Magnet Area Pokemon went back into the pokeball as a red flash. Afterwards, Phoenix grabbed another Pokeball from his belt. He threw it into the air.
“Go, Dragonite!” He shouted.
An amazing flash of light beamed across all sides. The massive dragon came down with a thud. He roared with pride.
“DRAGOOOOO!!!!” The dragon bellowed.
“Dragonite, we need your help.” Said Phoenix. “ We were wondering if you could fly us someplace.”
“Sure, boss!” It replied. “Where do you need to go?”
“To Sunyshore City.”
“Sunyshore? Wow… We haven’t been there in a long time… but it’s no big deal. Of course I’ll take you there!”
“Thanks, Dragonite.”
The Pokemon Trainer hopped on to his mighty dragon steed. The little Sneasel, however, was still down on the ground, shaking. Phoenix hopped down and walked to Sneasel.
“What’s wrong now?” asked Phoenix.
“I’m… I’m afraid of flying…” The Pokemon replied.
Phoenix detected the fear in Sneasel’s words.
“Everything is going to be alright. Once this is over, we’ll be at your new home, ok?”
The young Sneasel cried a little before making up her mind. "Ok…”
The Sneasel hopped on to Phoenix’s back. Phoenix got back on Dragonite. As soon as Phoenix was on, Dragonite flapped its mighty wings and took of. They passed icy-cold clouds before finally making it to flying altitude. Dragonite flew the cold air so fast, it seemed as if it was nonexistent. After flying for a few hours, they saw a brightly lit city in the distance.
“We’re almost there,” said Phoenix.
“It’s kind of hard to miss…” replied Dragonite.
“Can you take us down?”
“Sure thing.”
The Dragonite flew in the direction of the city lights. Within seconds, the trio was at Sunyshore City.
“Thanks, Dragonite.” Said Phoenix,
“No problem.”
Phoenix called Dragonite back into his pokeball. He walked for a bit, Sneasel following close behind. At last, they were at their destination: Phoenix’s house.
“Here it is.” He said.
He opened the door and walked in.
“Oh, my! If it isn’t Phoenix!” said his mom. "I haven't seen you in ages!"
"It's nice to see you again, mom," he replied.
In the corner of his eye, was that... a tear?
“Phoenix, my boy! Well, it's been 4 years! It's nice to see one of my sons again after you became a trainer! How’s it going?” asked his dad.
“Everything’s fine.” He replied.
“Why did you stop by this late? It's almost 12:00,” asked his mom.
“I had a favor I needed to ask of you. I wanted to know if you could take this Sneasel in.”
The Sneasel jumped off of Phoenix’s back and landed on the floor. She walked over to Phoenix’s mom and looked up at her.
“Why, aren’t you the most adorable little thing!” Phoenix’s mom said. She walked over to the Sneasel and gave it some Pokemon food. Immediately, it jumped and ate the food. “Of course we’ll take her in.”
“Eh, why not? It might actually wind up helping us. Besides, we always wanted a Pokemon for our family, and now that you brought us one, how can we refuse? Welcome to the family, Sneasel!” Phoenix’s dad replied.
Sneasel jumped up in excitement. A new home had been found for her.
“Phoenix, why don’t you stay the night? It is pretty late, after all.” His mother asked.
“I might as well.” He answered.
Phoenix went up to his old room. Even after 4 years, his bed was still as comfortable as ever. He laid down and, without even noticing, fell asleep. When he woke the next morning, he went down the stairs, and to the table. He saw Sneasel sleeping comfortably on the couch. He pulled out a chair and sat down with the rest of his family. He took his breakfast of eggs, bacon, and sausage and devoured it.
"Well, isn't it nice to see us as a family again," his mother said.
"Sure is," his dad replied.
As soon as Phoenix finished, he went back up to his room, got his stuff, and prepared to leave.
“Phoenix? One more thing.” His mother said.
“What is it?” he asked.
“Where is Zephyr?”
“I’m trying to find him myself. He said something about going to Hoenn for a tournament, but he never came back.”
“What? He's gone? That boy... always so reckless... Gasp! No… Please, Phoenix! Find your brother, please!”
“That’s what I plan to do.”
And with that, he set off to Hoenn.
