Chapitre 3: The Start of the Journey (Re-edited)
Cora, Kilala (Shiny Espeon), Talia (Altaria) and Alise Joy (Cora's Mom) were outside the Viridian City Pokémon Center. Cora was now ten years old and was ready to head out on her Pokémon journey. Cora Joy had long light shade of pink hair tied in a half ponytail letting the rest of her hair down and light blue eyes. She wore a pink shirt sleeve shirt, a jean jacket with a hoodie, jean shorts, light blue knee-high canvas shoes with white shoelaces, pink belt and a pink backpack. Cora and Kilala were excited about the start of their journey. They were all set to head towards Pallet Town where Prof. Oak is.
"So do you have everything?" Alise Joy asked.
"Don't worry, mom. I have everything." Cora replied.
"Cora, I just want to let you know that I'm proud of you." Alise said.
"Thank you, mom. I promise that I'll do my best." Cora promised.
Alise smiled, "I know you will." Then she bent down and petted Kilala on the head, "You look after Cora for me, Kilala."
"Espe!" Kilala trilled.
Then Cora and Kilala mounted Talia and soon flew off towards Prof. Oak's. Alise watched them until she could no longer see them.
==================================
Soon enough, they arrived at Prof. Oak's, hopefully before Gary wakes up. Cora walked up to the door and knocked. She heard footsteps coming towards the door and Prof. Oak opened the door.
"Cora, good morning! I knew that you would arrive early." Prof. Oak greeted.
"Anything to avoid Gary." Cora commented.
Prof. Oak chuckled, "I see. Well then, follow me." He instructed.
Cora followed after him into the lab. As they walked in, they noticed the table that had three Pokéballs on it. The first one had a leaf sticker, the second had a water sticker, and the third had a flame sticker. Then the two saw Prof. Oak bring out a few things.
"Before I give you your Pokédex, I got you something." Prof. Oak took out a Pokéball from his coat pocket and released the Pokémon: Froakie.
"Wow! A Froakie!" Cora beamed.
"Prof. Sycamore only had two trainers going out today. Froakie was the only one who wasn't chosen. He thought you would like Froakie on your team." Prof. Oak explained.
"Wow." Cora smiled and bent down in front of Froakie, "Hello Froakie, would you like to join my team?" She asked as she held her hand out to the Frog Pokémon.
Froakie looked at her hand and then back at her. Froakie smiled and placed his hand in her hand. The two shook hands.
"Welcome to the team. I'll name you, Kenji. Do you like that?" Cora asked.
"Froak!" 'Kenji' agreed, smiling.
Cora smiled as well. Then Kenji jumped onto her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek.
"Then it's settled, Kenji will be raised by you, Cora." Prof. Oak confirmed.
"Thank you, Professor." Cora thanked him.
"Alright then, let me give you a few things before you head out." Prof. Oak said, picking up a tray from a table, "Here's your bracelet with a Key Stone, A Mega Stone for Talia, Jackal and Nuri and a smartphone."
"Really? You're giving me three Mega Stones and a Key Stone?" Cora questioned, shocked.
"Yes. I know that Talia, Jackal and Nuri want to Mega Evolve. So Prof. Sycamore sent these items as a gift." Prof. Oak answered.
"Thank you." Cora thanked him as she put the bracelet around her left wrist. The bracelet was a black leather cuff bracelet with a pink strip in the middle and a Keystone attached in the center. Then she released Talia, Jackal and Nuri from their Pokéballs and showed them their Mega Stones. Then took the pink smartphone and put it in her pocket. Prof. Oak also brought out the accessory for Nuri to wear for her Mega Stone, Charizardite X (Same as Alain's Charizard), and helped Cora put it on Nuri. She then gave Jackal his Mega Stone bracelet and Talia's Mega Stone collar. The three Pokémon were happy to have their Mega Stones.
"Oh, there's something that your smartphone needs." Prof. Oak remembered.
"What is it?" Cora asked.
Prof. Oak took out another Pokéball from his other pocket and released a Pokémon that Cora easily recognized.
"A Rotom!" Cora said, smiling.
"Yup. Now, hold your phone out." Prof. Oak instructed.
Cora held her phone out and Rotom flew into the phone. She turned the phone over and saw a Rotom face on the back.
"Is this a Rotom phone?" Cora asked.
"Yes, it is. I want you to do a test run with it." Prof. Oak replied.
"Test run?" Cora blinked.
"From what I've heard, many trainers are getting tired of using the plain Kanto Region Pokédex. This kind of device is quite popular in the Galar region. So I thought I would give the Rotom Phone a try." Prof. Oak explained. "You're able to scan Pokémon from the Kanto Region to the Paldea region. There's also an extra feature in it."
"What is it?" Cora asked.
"You can switch or transfer Pokémon to my lab instead of finding a Pokémon Center to do it." Prof. Oak told her.
"Really? Thank you!" Cora smiled before she looked at Prof. Oak, "But why?"
"Consider it a gift for all of your hard work at my ranch. Besides, I have a feeling that you might encounter a lot of Pokémon outside of the Kanto region." Prof. Oak smiled.
"Letting me work as your apprentice/assistant and learning about Pokémon from you was rewarding enough, Professor Oak." Cora protested.
"Always the humble one." Prof. Oak teased which caused Cora to slightly blush in embarrassment as she rubbed the back of my head.
"Why don't you try it out?" Prof. Oak suggested.
Cora turned to Kilala and scanned her with the Rotom Phone.
[Espeon, the Sun Pokémon. Espeon are able to read air currents, allowing it to predict the future, as well as its opponents' next moves. Note: This different coloration indicates that this Pokémon is a shiny Pokémon.]
Then she turned to Kenji.
[Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack.]
Nuri was next.
[Charizard, the Flame Pokémon. Charizard's powerful flame can melt absolutely anything. Note: This different coloration indicates that this Pokémon is a shiny Pokémon.]
Then she turned to Talia.
[Altaria, the Humming Pokémon. Altaria is the evolved form of Swablu. It uses its fluffy wings to catch updrafts and is known for its beautiful high-pitched song.]
And then she turned to Jackal.
[Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, and the evolved form of Riolu. By sensing the aura of its opponents, Lucario can read their thoughts and movements. Note: This different coloration indicates that this Pokémon is a shiny Pokémon.]
"Now here are seven empty Pokéballs." Prof. Oak presented seven Pokéballs on a tray to Cora.
"Why are you giving me seven more Pokéballs, Professor? I already have five Pokémon." Cora asked, confused.
"I also have the feeling that you'll catch amazing Pokémon, Cora." Oak replied, "And I'm also giving you an egg incubator because you'll need one in case you find a Pokémon egg."
Cora sighed, knowing that he won't let her refuse. So she put her Rotom phone in her pocket, returned Nuri, Talia, Jackal and Kenji into their Pokéballs and placed them on her belt along with the empty Pokéballs, and the egg incubator in her bag.
"Are you ready, Kilala?" Cora turned to Kilala.
"Espeon! (Ready when you are!)" Kilala chirped with excitement.
Cora nodded and turned to Prof. Oak, "Thanks for everything, Professor."
"You're welcome, Cora. I'm pretty sure that you'll make your family proud." Prof. Oak stated, smiled.
Cora smiled back, "I know I will."
Then Cora and Kilala left the lab.
====================================
On her way out, she encountered Gary Oak, Prof. Oak's grandson.
"Why hello there, Cora, you heading out?" Gary flirted.
Cora arched her eyebrow at this and sighed, "Yes, Gary. Now if you don't mind, I would like you to move to the side." She requested.
"Would you like to be one of my cheerleaders?" Gary offered.
"No thanks. Could you please move out of the way so that I can go?" Cora suggested.
"Fine." Gary accepted and moved out of the way.
Cora and Kilala walked past Gary and left the lab. She also passed by two more trainers who were heading towards Prof. Oak's lab. She was soon passing by the houses when she caught sight of Ash Ketchum, in his pajamas, run past her.
"He must be in a big hurry." Cora commented.
"Espeon." Kilala agreed.
The two continued on their way to Viridian City.
