Chapitre 2: Chapter 2 - Pokemon (1)

"Are you sure you won't feel too lonely here, Mom?" Lex asked his mother for the umpteenth time today, to which she once more replied.

"Yes, sugar. Gardevoir will keep me company and when I won't be working, I could hang out with some of my friends... I heard that Delia's son also leave for his Pokemon adventure today.

What was his name already..." Martha tried to remember, a finger on her chin.

"Her son? Was it something like John? Bob perhaps?" Lex proposed, putting as he walked toward the door, his mother following behind to accompany him.

"Yes, Bob probably. Anyway, don't forget to call me from time to time sugar. Mom love you."

Both of them hugged as the young boy replied, the same emotion in his voice.

"I will, Mom. Love you too."

After that warm scene, Alexander Light officially left his house, starting one of the most legendary Pokemon adventures that will ever be.

-*-*-*-

Walking for a few minutes along the main road of the small town, Lex's hiking shoes served their purpose as the dirt failed to sully him.

The sun shone brightly but failed to disturb his vision thanks to his bucket hat. A pleasant breeze gently caressed his skin while the surrounding nature let out the noise of the different kinds of Pokemon living inside. Mainly flying-type Pokemons and bug-type Pokemon.

The chirps of Pidgey flying above accompanied him as he finally arrived at the base of the stairs toward Professor Oak's Laboratory.

"A crowd? Oh right, Prof. Oak is giving [Starters] today." Lex spoke to himself as he walked up the stairs.

A small crowd of citizens was agglutinated in front of the building, all praising and gawking at an unseen Pokemon and trainer.

Seeing the cheerleaders and the familiar red car not too far from the crowd, Lex could only hope that the person present there is not who he believe he is.

"Ah! Speaking about the Growtlithe!" A familiar voice echoed, making most of the onlookers turn their heads at the man.

"I'm happy to see that Martha did not forget about informing you of my message, Alexander." Samuel Oak, commonly known as Professor Oak walked through the crowd from his laboratory to meet with the promising young man.

"I'm happy to see you too, Professor." Lex replied, still in an excellent mood after seeing Beldum's potential.

Seeing the young man smiling from ear to ear, Oak did not waste more time, aware that he received the gift Martha spoke about a few days ago.

"Come with me, I too have a gift for you!"

True to himself, the older man grabbed the young man's shoulders, dragging him inside the laboratory.

The both of them entered the laboratory, the Pokeball display at the center of the room was empty.

"A lot of people came today to receive their first Pokemons." Lex observed as he followed the Professor toward the empty display.

"Indeed. But fortunately, I've seen it coming and reserved you a Pokemon too.

Albeit it is one from a different region than ours." The professor said as he stopped in front of the display.

"What? I thought that Professor Burnett was supposed to send me one later." Alexander asked as he was not informed of this change by his previous designated professor.

Even though he technically moved out of Burnett's jurisdiction, he was still registered under her although it should have changed when he arrived in Kanto.

"Well... The reserved [Starter] is from her, to be truthful. She simply couldn't give it to you, as she is pretty occupied for now. And you know, respecting the tradition." Oak confessed before pushing a button below the display.

Lex nodded, less concerned about the Pokemon now that it came from the Professor that knew him the most.

In a flashy show of light, the middle of the display opened and a single Luxury Ball rose from within.

"She insisted that the Pokemon be placed within a Luxury ball though."

Alexander walked forward, taking the Pokeball in his hand.

As it was chosen directly by his old Professor, Professor Burnett she had full trust in her choice. It is not against Oak but he simply did not teach him everything he knew about Pokemon unlike the woman living in Alola or his mother.

"Why don't you let him out, he has been dying to meet you." Oak proposed, making the young man nod once more.

"Good idea... Join us, little guy." Letting the Pokemon within free, an energetic chirp accompanied an even more energetic red feathery Pokemon.

"Chic! Chic!" The small Torchic exclaimed before turning to look at the trainer that released him.

"Tor!" It happily chirped, running around Alexander as if to show him his eagerness.

Crouching to his level, Alexander held out his hand for the Chick Pokemon to climb on, which it happily did.

"Wanna travel the world together, Torchic?" Alexander asked the Pokemon once more, the same way he did with his first Pokemon.

Not betraying his previous actions, Torchic immediately accepted, letting out a loud chirp.

"Tor! Chiiiic!"

"Haha! It is unsurprisingly a Torchic full of energy! Though I wonder why Professor Burnett did not send an Alolan starter...

Oh well, it does not matter, why don't you scan him with your Pokedex, I'm certain that my grandson is waiting for you outside to ask for a battle." Oak advised, making Lex groan in annoyance.

The boy while being from time to time, a good friend, was certainly an insufferable bore that when learning that Alexander is this year's number 1 student in Alola, took him as his rival.

Albeit Gary Oak was undoubtedly a talented young man, reaching third place among Kanto's Pokemon League students. He still lacked the type of talent that separates geniuses from monsters.

"Rotom." Alexander called, making the Rotom-shaped Pokedex emerge from his bag. Wasting no time, it scanned the very active Torchic within Alexander's arms before enlarging itself to display the Pokemon's information.

[Torchic #0255

Chick Pokemon

Gender: Male

Type: Fire

Ability: Speed Boost

Height: 0.4 m / Weight: 2.5 kg

Description: If attacked, it strikes back by spitting balls of fire it forms in its stomach. A Torchic dislikes darkness because it can't see its surroundings.

Moves: Scratch (B) / Growl (B) / Ember (B) / Peck (B) / Night Slash (-) / Agility (B) / Counter (-) / Sand Attack (B)

Evolution Line: Torchic -> Combusken -> Blaziken]

Though not as impressed as with his first Pokemon, Beldum, Alexander was quite surprised at the high-potential Torchic.

The fire starter's overly excited behavior can also be understood by his ability which is insanely rare for the Torchic line.

Putting back Torchic into his embrace, Alexander watched the Pokemon figuratively melt in his arms, more than happy at the physical touch.

"Oh! Oh! She went all out with this Torchic, didn't she?" Oak happily exclaimed, knowing that the Pokemon would surely reach his full potential with a trainer as talented as Alexander Light.

"Yes, I will give her a call later to thank her." The young man affirmed, turning toward the professor.

"Let's meet your rival now, I don't have anything else to give you since you already received a Rotom Pokedex from your mother."

Sighing at his words, Lex nodded.

"... Let's."

The both of them walked outside as almost immediately the expected guy shouted to gain Lex's attention.

"I challenge you to a duel, Alexander!" The brown-haired young man exclaimed, holding out his Pokeball toward the hat-wearing boy.

The other trainers around gave both of them some space as they knew that it would happen.

Before Alexander's arrival, Gary was the most promising trainer but that quickly changed when the other boy arrived, showing more promise than Gary ever did.

Though both of them never truly butted heads, it was not surprising to see Gary announce the start of their rivalry now that they each have a starter.

"... Fine." Alexander replied, letting Torchic jump out of his arms to position himself in front of him.

"Chic!" The fire Pokemon loudly exclaimed, letting the world know about the trust he has in both himself and his trainer.

"A Torchic? Must be a perk of being number one in your region... Unfortunately for you, I have the type advantage!

Let's beat them, Squirtle!" He called, throwing up the Pokeball of his starter from which a blue Pokemon emerged.

"Squirtle!" It exclaimed too, aware of what was happening outside the Pokeball as most Pokemon do unless they are sleeping.

The two starters locked eyes, their will to fight and win practically exuding out of them.

The stare-down was broken when Gary's cheerleaders began to spell his name.

"Give us a G! Give us an A! Give us a-" Gary and Alexander both ignored them as the former spoke to his grandfather.

"Grandpa! Be the referee!"

"Must be good to be so young..." Oak shook his head before walking to the spot one would expect a referee to stand during a Pokemon battle.

"I expect a fair match, both of you! You don't have your license yet so whenever you win or lose won't be recorded on your battle history...

Are you ready?" The Professor explained, making the two trainers nod in understanding.

"As if I would lose against him!" Gary arrogantly said, to which his Squirtle seems to confirm with an assured nod.

"Show me what you got, Gary." Alexander said, adopting a more relaxed position compared to the battle-ready opponent.

Torchic was jumping on himself, more than ready to show his trainer what he could do.

"Start!" Samuel Oak shouted, prompting his grandson to immediately throw his hand out.

"Squirtle! Use [Water Gun], let's drown them!" He ordered, making the tiny turtle Pokemon gather a bunch of water energy in his mouth.

Unlike most high-level battles, low-level Pokemons usually take some time before having an attack ready since they don't have much mastery over them.

This is something as Lex immediately orders something else for his Pokemon.

"Torchic, use [Agility] until I tell you to dodge."

Perfectly following the order, Torchic began to jump from side to side, pinkish energy surrounding him.

Seeing his opponent setting up, Gary gritted his teeth as he realized his mistake.

It was Squirtle's very first battle and the time he took to ready an attack such as [Water Gun] would take much more time than [Tackle] would.

Besides, it seems like the Torchic doesn't have much trouble executing [Agility] giving it an even bigger speed advantage than it previously had.

Fortunately, Torchic only could make one [Agility] before Squirtle's attack was ready.

"Squir... tle!" The blue Pokemon exclaimed, letting out a powerful water bullet from his mouth.

"Torchic, dodge to the side and run up to Squirtle."

With increased speed, thanks to his ability [Speed Boost] and the [Agility], Torchic dodged the attack with surprising ease before fearlessly rushing to the water-type Pokemon, a faint white glow only his trainer and Professor Oak noticed surrounding it.

Awaiting an [Ember], Gary gave the next order to his Pokemon at the same time as Alexander did.

"[Mirror Coat], Squirtle!" "[Sand Attack], Torchic."

The moment Torchic reached the Squirtle, a thin pinkish mirror appears in front of him, ready to send any special attack back to the sender.

Unfortunately, Gary mistook Lex's intentions as the only thing the blue Pokemon received is a handful of sand in his eyes, temporarily blinding and certainly lowering his precision overall.

"Squirt!" The Pokemon exclaimed in surprise and annoyance, shutting his eyes close.

Thinking fast, Gary gave another order, one that could his Pokemon some time to recover, and even increase his defense.

"[Withdraw]! Stay in your shell until I give you another order!" The Squirtle did just that, a bluish glow enveloping him as he retreated within his shell.

"You can't hide forever. Torchic, train your [Night Slash] on him until he decides to come out."

Gary gritted his teeth as he observed a black glow envelop Torchic's paw and claw.

It didn't take him much longer to gather enough energy to strike at the shell.

"Now! [Rapid Spin], Squirtle!"

The dark-type attack met the spinning shell infused with normal-type energy, pushing back both Pokemon.

"Well done." Alexander congratulated his opponent for his quick thinking.

The cheerleaders as if remembering their roles began to cheer even harder on Gary as the onlookers were appreciative of the low-level fight of the talented trainers. Some even had their phones out to record the battle.

"Tsk. We are not done yet, right Squirtle?!" Gary exclaimed, making his Pokemon cry in agreement, though it was weaker than it echoed earlier.

From the earlier confrontation, Squirtle was the most hurt one with a deep cut on his shell and several minor ones on his limbs.

In front of him, Torchic was excitedly jumping from side to side, his speed has increased two times since he first rushed in.

Besides some scratches on his legs, Torchic did not seem even remotely tired.

"Good. It's our turn then! Torchic use your newly learned [Quick Attack]." Understanding the attack he was talking about, Torchic let out a small cry before normal-type energy surrounded him.

"True to the talent he kept exhibiting, Torchic wasted no time to rush back toward his opponent, leaving several after-images behind him.

"Quick! [Withdrawal]!" Gary shouted, but unfortunately, his Squirtle failed to react in time.

Impacted by the speeding Chick Pokemon whose speed has been enhanced several times thanks to the [Agility] and his ability [Speed Boost], Squirtle was sent rolling onto the ground, air knocked out of its lungs.

"Don't give him any time to recover Torchic, [Quick Attack] to rush to him and put all your weight and momentum into a full power [Peck]!" Alexander ordered, making his Pokemon surround himself into a faint white glow once more as his beak emitted a cyan glow.

"Come on Squirtle, [Withdraw], and [Rapid Spin]!" Gary tried to order his Pokemon.

Even though he was struggling with the hit from earlier, he did his best to obey the order.

Withdrawing himself within his shell, he however failed to execute the [Rapid Spin] before an even more powerful impact send him flying at his trainer's feet.

"Squirtle!" Gary exclaimed, kneeling to observe his fainted Pokemon.

"Squirtle has fainted, and Gary Oak is unable to continue the battle.

The winner is Alexander Light!"

Chapitre 3: Chapter 3 - Pokemon (1)

"How could I oversleep?!" The young man internally cried, running with his everything toward Oak's Laboratory.

Hell, he was still in his pajamas as he traveled at his full speed down the dirt road that led to the Professor's Laboratory.

He ran so hard that he failed to see the person that was coming down the stairs before they collided.

"Ah!" The young man shouted, about to fall before the person's arm caught him.

"Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes hidden by the shadow cast by his bucket hat.

"Huh? Yes, sorry about that!" Ash quickly excused himself before running up the stairs toward the Laboratory.

The other young man half-turned toward him, looking at his departing back for a few seconds before continuing on his way.

-*-*-

Huffing with his hands on his knees, Ash Ketchum arrived in front of the Laboratory.

"I'm here Professor!" He declared, making the older man whose gaze was focused on his grandson look at the Pokeball in his hand with a conflicted look on his face.

Around them, a crowd of civilians was whispering among themselves, all with expressions varying from excitement, to shock and awe.

"You are late, Ash. And you are in no condition to properly train a Pokemon" The man declared, walking toward the young man as he observed his clothes.

"Ahaha... My alarm clock broke this morning but I swear that I am ready to choose my Pokemon!" Ash explained, his excitement practically radiating off him.

"Thankfully for you, I still have a Pokemon left, come with me." Prof. Oak said, much to Ash's relief as they both walked inside the Laboratory.

Though Ash wanted to go and talk to Gary first and ask about the Pokemon he chose, he refrained from doing that due to the way he was unusually quiet.

"Say Professor, do you know what happened with Gary?" Ash asked, curious about why the usually loud and obnoxious 17 years old guy had such a somber expression on his face.

"... It seems like my grandson finally understood that the world is far bigger than he always thought. He lost his first match despite the type of advantage he had." The Professor revealed, a hand to his chin as if rethinking about the fight from earlier.

"What?! Gary lost?!" Ash exclaimed, forced to believe the tale.

Not only was he academically higher ranked than him, but he was also always gloating about how well he knew about Pokemon thanks to his grandpa being one of the most renowned trainers and professors in the world.

If anything, he believed that they were equally matched in terms of trainer capability which is why his loss is such a surprise for him.

Nodding at the rhetorical question, Professor Oak continued with more details.

"Yes... It was both their first match, Alexander seemed somewhat more experimented and proved to be an overall better trainer. Although I have to admit that his Torchic is the result of excellent breeding."

"Alexander? I feel like I have heard his name before..." Ash pondered, not remembering exactly where and when did he meet him.

"Well, whatever! I will get my starter and if I meet this Alexander guy I will show him that I am the best trainer in all of Kanto!" The young man exclaimed, fired up like he never was.

Chuckling at his words, the professor replied, before showing him the Pokemon that would be his companion from now on.

"It's good to aim high, but don't forget that what matters most is the bond you share with your Pokemon!"

-*-*-*-

"Mhm... Perhaps I should have taken my bike?" Lex asked himself aloud, walking along a small dirt road in the forest.

The noise of the active Pokemon living in the forest could be heard all around him.

Unlike the main road toward Viridian City, this route is mostly used by trainers due to the increased chance to be attacked by wild Pokemon.

However, it not only is a shortcut that can allow one to reach the Viridian City in less than two days but it also serves as a good training ground for weak Pokemon that rarely attack in hordes.

"Speaking about the Growlithe..." Lex's hand said to himself, his hand going to one of the balls at his waist.

The nearby tree's leaves violently shook for a few seconds before a Pidgey emerged from the branches, flying down onto the path.

It noticed the young man as it seemed to want to block his roads, a not-so-impressive cry.

"Why are you stopping me, little guy?" Lex asked the Pokemon, his hand still on the ball.

"... Gey!" It answered, not backing down although it hesitated for a few seconds.

"..." Lex looked around, seeing some scratches on the trees and other traces of battle.

"It seems that you don't give me much choice." The boy finally said, taking the ball containing his first Pokemon in his hand.

"Come out, Beldum." He said, letting the Pokemon out of the ball without throwing it like most trainers would during a match.

Usually, poke balls just come back to the owner when thrown but he didn't feel like it was necessary to be overhyped for this fight, due to certain reasons.

"Bel!" The gray Pokemon roared, his sole red eye shining in excitement.

It was sleeping for a while now, and only regain consciousness when Lex entered the forest.

Though it missed the fight Torchic, it was filled in by his trainer that spoke aloud, giving advice and explaining strategies.

It became even more ecstatic once it has seen that he could prove his abilities to his trainer by going against this strange fellow.

After the tale of the first fight he missed, he felt the need to prove himself. Even though, Alexander reassured him that his sleepiness was expected considering he was born a few hours ago.

"Let's not severely injure him, Beldum." The young trainer said, fully trusting his first Pokemon to overwhelm without much difficulty the wild flying-type Pokemon.

"Dum!" It agreed, ready to fight the avian opponent.

"Pid... gey!" The enemy Pokemon cried back, sand materializing in its pawn before it threw it to Beldum.

Unfortunately, its strategy was quite lacking in front of the sharp mind of the trainer.

"Beldum, use [Magnet Rise]."

Obeying immediately, the iron ball Pokemon began to levitate way higher than before, and with more ease too.

The earth-type debuff completely missed the Pokemon much to the other Pidgey's annoyance.

However, he did not have the time to do anything other than observe how the opposing Pokemon executed a series of moves before he even had the time to process what happened.

"Now use [Agility] until your speed can't go any higher." The young trainer ordered, making his Pokemon surround itself with psy-type energy that gradually boosted its speed far beyond its opponent.

"Gey!" Feeling that if left alone, he would certainly be defeated by the pseudo-legendary, the Pidgey's wings turned cyan for a few seconds.

Recognizing the attack, Lex immediately gave another order to his Pokemon.

"Use the trees to shield you from the [Gust] and prepare a full power [Metal Claw]."

As it did before, immediately obeyed and the speed-boosted iron Pokemon outran the incoming [Gust], hiding behind the surrounding trees.

The wind-type attack slammed into the tree used by Beldum but was unable to do much besides slight damage to it.

"Gey!" The opponent Pidgey cried in anger, repeating the attack as it hoped to destroy the tree and defeat the Pokemon behind it.

'That's a strong wild Pokemon.' Lex mused to himself, his attention never straying from the battlefield.

Observing how the flying Pokemon's movements became slower and the [Gust] weaker, he finally ordered.

"Now Beldum! Fly straight to it with your [Metal Claw]!"

Immediately, the iron Pokemon emerged from the assaulted tree, its rear shining with a dark, grayish glow.

"Pi-!"

Though Pidgey tried to resume with the intense [Gust], it failed to do much more than slow down the incoming Pokemon that turned around at the last second, slamming its rear into it.

The steel-type attack was much more powerful than the wild Pokemon could take, its body being sent flying toward the ground with speed, raising some dust as it impacted the grassy dirt.

"Good job, Beldum. You did extremely well." Alexander praised his Pokemon, to which it happily replied, floating all around him at a much slower speed now that the [Agility] was not needed anymore.

"Dum! Dum! Dum!"

It was obvious that the bird Pokemon did not resist that attack as when the duo approached it, they found the wild Pokemon fainted on the ground.

Though it did not have many injuries besides some scratches, the battle surely took a great toll on it, not to forget about the final attack that sent it into unconsciousness.

"It did well too." The trainer said, approaching the fallen Pokemon.

"Dum." The other Pokemon nodded, agreeing with his trainer.

The young man put down his bag, opening it.

Since he always took great care in organizing his belongings, it didn't take him much longer to find what he was searching for.

"Here it is." He said, holding a purple spray with a white handle.

"It should be enough for it." The young man commented, spraying the downed Pokemon with the potion.

The scratches disappeared in real-time and the Pokemon's breath became way better, its exhausted state going to a resting one.

Taking it into his arms, the trainer turned toward his Pokemon.

"Let's see if what is further along this road is worth this amount of determination." Alexander asked his Pokemon, continuing walking down the road, the wild flying Pokemon in his arms while the Steel/Psychic Pokemon happily followed after him.
