Note #342 of professor Acacia's pokemon research log.
Pokemon are so damn cool.....Champion Alder's Volcarona is definetly one of the coolest!
I also want to finally have my own pokemon and begin my journey to become the greatest Professor of them all! But these damn Unova-region rules state that you can only become a trainer when you are 14 and a youngster when you are 11...I wish I was born in the Kanto-region, there you can start your journey with 10....AND I AM 10!
But no, I still have to wait nearly one whole year to own just one pokemon as a youngster.
---------------------------------------‐‐-------------------------
"Hey Prof hurry up, you are already late. I knew you were going to be late again, so I especially came here to remind you. We have our first concert today and we still have to get into the zone beforehand." A girl's voice screamed from outside the house.
The boy, who was currently typing on his laptop and was about to delete all he had just written, shot up from his comfy chair with a frigthend look on his face.
After calming down the boy went to his window, opened it, and shouted down at the street. "Damn Roxie, your scream nearly gave me a heart attack and it's still early afternoon, our performance is in the evening. And what do you mean by getting into the 'zone', I don't even know what you mean!"
The girl standing on the street, Roxie, retorted. „Look at the sky Prof, the sun is already going down, just hurry up and come down."
Looking at the sky and seeing the sinking sun the boy, Prof, answered in a grumbling tone, "Damn, I really lost track of the time, I'll be there in 5." And closed his window.
~~~
A short while later, two 10-year old children were running down the sidewalk towards a shady looking building, a old pub owned by Roxie's family. The facade of the building clearly shows its age, the pub is in dire need of repair, but it still seems like safe enough to go inside. The white haired little girl just ran through the open passage straight into the building, but the little boy huffingly and puffingly had to stop a the building's wide open entrance.
'How is Roxie so damn energetic, she ran the whole way, from my house to the old pub, without stopping...and she doesn't even do sports. I mean, I also don't do many such activities, but I at least go jogging with my dad and she still has more stamina than me. This is so unfair.' Complained the black haired, black eyed boy inside his thoughts.
After complaining a bit more and getting the air back into his lungs, Prof also went into the building. The passage led into a big room underground with a raised platform at the other end of the room, clearly made for announcments or making music. The inside of the room was rather clean and its walls had fading and ripped posters all over them. The stage had two big loudspeakers on top of it, one on each side of it.
Prof went to the platform where Roxie and one other person, a chubby brown-haired boy and their third band member, were waiting for him.
The chubby boy, Cook, then said. "There you finally are Prof, let's get into position and do 2-3 testruns before the performance starts, I don't want us to embarress ourselves when we play for the audience for the first time." And started climbing the stairs of the stage.
"Hey, do you two already know which pokemon you want to catch when we get our youngster-license next year?" Prof asked, changing the subject, trying not to get too nervous before the performance even started as he and Roxie followed Cook onto the stairs.
Roxie answered directly. "I definetly want to catch a poison-type pokemon, they are so awesome. And Weezing is coolest of them all, so I'am gonna try to get a Koffing! And with my then super-duper strong Weezing and the rest of my team, I'll be opening Unova's first poison-type gym right here in Virbank City."
"And I am gonna catch a Grimer, I'll train it every day and join Roxie as a gym-trainer. Everyone who want to challange Roxie then has to go through Muk and me first!" Cook shouted with conviction, as if he could already see it.
'I already knew that he had a crush on Roxie, but damn, Cook is simping hard.' Prof said mentally.
After the climb, Roxie grabbed her bass guitar and stood in front of her microphone, center stage, since she was the lead singer and songwriter of our as-yet-unnamed band.
After checking if everything is ok with her equipment Roxie turned to Prof, who was standing diagonally behind her and tuning his electric guitar and asked."What pokemon are you gonna catch as your first one, Prof? You could also catch a poison-type pokemon and join my gym..."Seeing the betrayed look that Cook threw her, Roxie cleared her throat and continued. "...join OUR gym as a gym-trainer."
Prof tussled his short black hair and looked up at the ceiling. "I have no idea, no that's wrong.....I have too many ideas what pokemon I want to catch first and which pokemons I want to have on my team. I would like to have a dragon as my first pokemon, I can then start training it when I get my youngster-license with 11, and have a headstart when I start my journey with 14, that would be especially good, because dragon pokemons are generally weak in their first form and need a lot of time to train and evolve...but even then I would have to decided which dragon I want to have, even tough only deino and axew are really viable, due to the fact that most other dragons are not from Unova, and the youngster-license only allows the possession of 'generally acknowledged harmless pokemon', which practically means a stage or form one pokemon, so pokemon like Druddigon are out, even deino just barely made it onto this list due to it's irritable temper.
But that also brings up the question where to even get a deino or axew, those are nearly as rare as a legendary pokemon. So I probably have to think about another pokemon. But there are simply so many type-options, 17 to be exact, that I personally find so much cooler beside the poison-typing, for example..."
"Ok, ok, a simple 'no' or 'probably not' would have been enough, but it is also my fault for asking you such a question." Roxie interrupted Prof's monologue. "I sometimes forget why we call you 'Prof', mister know-it-all 'professor' Jasper Acacia."
After that little episode, our Mc, now known as Jasper, finished tuning his guitar and Cook also finished checking his drums and they started their first testrun.
After about 30 minutes, the three finished their third and final testrun and made a short break, so that they are in top form when the performance starts.
During the trio's break a group of 6 entered the room and went in front of the stage, waiting for the performance to start while talking to each other. 3 of the six were humans and 3 were pokemons. All three humans were wearing casual clothes. The pokemon with them were Electabuzz, Roselia and Riolu.
"I hope out children won't mess up too bad, not that I would blame them, but it would be really embarressing for them and could leave a nick in their confidence." A tall, handsome man with black hair and brown eyes in his 40s said to the woman he had his arms locked with, his wife, and another man with a more rugged look. His Electabuzz was standing beside him, looking around the room, if it was looking for a threat or just something interesting is unknown.
The black haired man's wife, a tall woman with blond hair, black eyes, an exquisite face and curves in all the right places, looking about 29 years old despite being nearly 10 years older and radiating a mature charm answered her husband, while holding Roselia inside her arms. "Calm down darling, Jasper and his friends will do just fine, he is our son after all. We even taught him how to act since young, even though he has no interest in our profession as actors, he still knows he to handle such situations."
The rugged man with brown hair laughed at that. "That's right Joshua, listen to Gina, you both are top actors of Pokewood, if your son has stage-fright, the sun would have risen in the west today, isn't that right Riolu?"
And his partner answered with wise words. "Riolu, Ri-Riolu"
"You are right Captain, but what about your daughter, Roxie? Do you think she will have problems standing on the stage?" Joshua also laughed and asked the man generally known as 'Captain', due to being the Captain of one of the passenger-ships going to and from Virbank City and Stratos City.
The Captain sneakily looked around him, to see if his daughter was nearby and after confirming she wasn't, he whispered. "That will never be a Problem for this daughter of mine, she is an energetic little mankey, always making trouble. I am more concerned about the possibility of her falling off the stage than her having stage fright."
And all three broke out in laughter.
