Joe's Hoenn Journey

[raichu26]

I Wanna Be a Hero!

Everyone's gotta leave home one day. For me, today's that day. Only one week after my 13th Birthday, I set off on my first Pokemon Quest. Luckily, I've got the support of my friends, and family. With thoughts in my head, I wonder what starter I'm gonna choose. Torchic, the energetic Fire-Type chick, Treecko, the feisty Grass-Type gecko, or Mudkip, the mellow Water-Type amphibian. My, oh my! So many choices! They all have unique qualities. But which one best suits me? I lie in bed pondering this until about 1 or 2 in the morning, then drift away into slumber. The next morning, I head over to Professor Birch's Lab to select my Starter. After a small chat, it's time for me to make my choice. They all look so good, but in the end, I decide on.....Torchic!!! We know it's a long, hard road to victory, but we'll succeed. After saying our goodbyes, and acquiring some items like Potions, Pokeballs, The Pokedex, etc., me and my new companion set off. "It's a new day for both of us." I tell Torchic. "No turning back." With that, I wave good-bye to Littleroot town, and head out to Route 101, excitedly ready to begin the next chapter in my life! Lets go!!!

Read, rate, and reply, guys. This is my first time doing this, and your opinions will help me.

Pretty good intro.

Could be longer but this is just an introduction to your character.

You should pick a trainer sprite and use some pokemon sprites from this link:

www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/

It will make the entry a little better imo since pictures always help.

More comments on your journey:

Nice that you choose Torchic. I don't think anyone has picked him as their starter.

And Hoenn I think is a new place to start out.

I'll eventually get there but right now I'll stay in Kanto.

[raichu26]

HOLY Crapola! Thank, Silva. Will consider, because I don't wanna make 'em TOO long. Hello, New Sig. And the reason why I chose Hoenn is actually because of May. She represents my real-life girlfriend (hair, eyes, personality, and beauty,) so I'm kinda basing this off of real-life expereinces.

[King Silva]

That is cool.

Enjoy the site it has a lot of good stuff on it.

One for the Road

With my fiery little Torchic by my side, I set off towards Route 101, eager to add members to my PokeArmy. After what seemed like forever, even WITH Running Shoes, I found a Pokemon by tripping over it.

A Zigzagoon! Here's my chance! This was rather easy. A Tackle, followed by a less than intimidating Growl was enough to weaken it, and thus, with three shakes of a Ball, I caught my first Pokemon!!! Yeah! "Welcome to the team, Zigzagoon," I say, as my now rested friend hops in its Ball, ready to assist me in battle. I reach Oldale Town with no problems, but as soon as I head out, I see a rather beautiful Female being harassed by bullies. HELP!!! HELP!!! With screams piercing the air, I immediately rushed to aid the captivating beauty. Hey! You bastards leave her alone! What are you gonna do, punk? *growls intensely* You and your screw-job friend versus me and her. Scared? No! Well, let's go, pricks. To be continued...

A couple of side-notes: the Red text symbolizes Team Magma, while the Blue text indicates Team Aqua. Plus, the Purple Text means both Team Magma and Team Aqua are in the same setting, either arguing with each other, or trying to convince me or my new Female friend to join them. Furthermore, the Female Role was based of my girlfriend, Brenda, (no flames or put-downs, please.) and how I'd defend her if she were threatened. She will most likely assume May's Role in the Anime, minus the Contests. Continuation of this Chapter, will be up hopefully tomorrow, Saturday. Or sometime next week. Read, rate, and reply, guys.

Nice entry again.

Cool you caught a Zigzagoon.

[raichu26]

Thanks, man. Pt. 3 will hopefully be up today. Lookin to add 2 more members. And fucking obliterate Magma. You'll most likely see the girl come along. My, oh my, how I wish simming was real! .

[raichu26]

Lovestruck?

Previously... my arrival in Oldale started w/ the capture of a Zigzagoon, and ended with me meeting a beauty of a girl being assaulted by the devious pair known as Team Magma. We eventually settled on a Double Battle. If anything, this should be a walk in the park. *end flashback*

With my new friend standing, the two of us were ready to kick some ass! I send out Torchic, and my companion, not knowing what to expect of this style of battling, sends out.....

Torchic?!? Well, I should've seen this coming, but I was too distracted. and needless to say, so was my Torchic. Magma #1: Go, Poochyena! Magma #2: Go, Zigzagoon! With this being our first Double Battle, this was a tad harder, considering we were about 1 Level under theirs. But, nonetheless, I figured I'd give it my all. However, a Critical Hit to my friend's Torchic almost made hers faint, I decide to use my only Potion to heal her Torchic. She took out Magma Grunt #2. However, she decided to return the favor by using her only Potion to heal my Torchic. With both of our Torchic's Leveled up due to beating Zigzagoon, we still had to contend with Poochyena. Both our Pokemon dodged Poochyena's Attack, and we began our own: A Growl Attack in stereo, and Peck repeatedly. However, being as we'd both trained up before we met, and we'd just beaten a Zigzagoon, both our Torchic's learned Ember. So, we declared a double Ember attack, which gave us our first win as a team, and individually. "Yeah!" we both proclaim, triumphantly. However, our resident morons in Red are ready to take it one step further. Luckily, our Pokemon defend us, and send them scurrying. Curiously, I inquire her name. What's your name? Brenda. What's your name? Joseph, or Joe. Thank you. Anytime, Brenda. Say, you wanna travel with me? Of course!

What was that for? For helping me and my Torchic out. I wouldn't mind if you did that more often. With that, we're ready to head out, but, out of nowhere... a

attacked us out of nowhere. I quickly dispersed of it by catching it quickly. Then, a wild

attacks me. Like Lotad, a quick catch. But, I figured, give it to Brenda. Aww! It's so cute! Thank you, Joe!!! *blushes slightly* With that, hand in hand, we set off for our next destination, wondering where our newfound friendship will take us, and our Pokemon too, next.

Side-note: Magenta Text will be Brenda's text, and Maroon will be mine.

That is cool you got a Lotad and your girl got your Poochyena.

The pics help too.

2 things, my dude.

1) It was her's from the start. I just caught it as a friendship (soon to be more, hint, hint.)

2) Yea, but having a slow computer sucks.

I think these little flashbacks might help.

[King Silva]

Yeah slow internet connection is a BITCH!

Mine is pretty fast for the most part.

My next part will hopefully be done by tonight or tomorrow.

Mine's OK, but as it accumulates more time, it gets slower.

Sweet. Will read for sure. Part 4 should be up soon. At most, Monday Afternoon, or night. I just can't wait for Dewford! If the Levels are outta whack, some training was done. And people say I don't have an imagination! Ha!!!

[lazski]

You did a good job!

[raichu26]

Nightmares.

With me and my new "girlfriend" just strolling around aimlessly like we're both dazed, we figured as the golden sun set in the lavender sky, we should rest for tonight. We watched it fade, and we were in awe of such majesty.

Wow. It sure looks pretty. Not as pretty as you, my love. That little compliment earned me a small peck on the cheek. With everything dark, we couldn't battle, but I wasn't feeling right in the head, so I decide to go for a short walk to the lake, which was about, 25 steps from our tents. I popped in my MP3 Player, and set it to one of the most depressing songs that I could think of, but not before pressing "Repeat One."

Feeling lost, I began to sing:

Also thinking of
Pushin comes to shove
Dreams of knowing you
thinking what to do

Yesterday feels so far away
compelled by your voice and how you love to say
Daddy, I'll miss you, and Mom please be safe. You know that I love you, so please don't be late.
When will you return and hug me again?
you know we're both waiting to feel it within

The distance between us feels like it's so far
The beauty of brainless tells us who we are

Also growing up
Our babies know and adore
Dreams of her oh now, thinking her name out loud.

Yesterday felt so far away
Compelled by your voice and how you love to say
Daddy, I'll miss you, and Mom please be safe you know that I love you, so please don't be late.
When will i return to hug you again?
You know I've been waiting to feel it within.

(Reveal)

Distance between us feels like its so far away.
The beauty of your love tells me who you are (Who you are.)
Compelled by your voice and how you love to say (love to say)
Pray that I miss you when far away (when we're far away.)

Apparently my skills (or lack thereof) had drawn he attention of Brenda to my side, as she had heard me. What's wrong, baby? Nothing, honey, I say with a melancholy face and sad tone as I stare expressionlessly into the darkened blue water, which she sees thanks to my face being reflected back at us. With the sky being pitch black, except for stars illuminating it, we decided to lay and talk. Are you sure you're OK, babe? A few moments of silence from me was all she got. Suddenly tears starts dropping from my eyes, like raindrops from a cloud, or water cascading down a waterfall. Her seeing me cry was something she obviously never wanted to see, but I couldn't help it. She tenderly embraces me, as I start to feel a little better. Shh. Shh. It's OK. I'm here, baby. she whispers softly in my ear as she strokes my hair delicately. We soon depart for our tents, but with-in five minutes, I was sobbing softly, and then quietly screaming. Brenda immediately rushes to my aid. I dry my tear-soaked eyes, and calm down. She wants to know, just what the hell is wrong with me, so I tell her. About a year ago, my parents split up. And I had no one to turn to, so I just kept everything bottled up. There were times where I couldn't sleep. I'd just lay awake until 1 or 2 in the morning, gazing hopelessly at the ceiling. Then, about a month ago, thing's got worse: I learned my Mom and Dad were getting divorced, after Papers were served. That same night, I started having nightmares, and they've been getting worse each time. That's why ... that's why I was so... scared to tell you. With that, my eyes well up again, and I weep once more again, albeit briefly. I dry my eyes, and Brenda unhitched her tent, and brings her sleeping bag into my tent, but doesn't use it. She unveils one big enough for 2 people, and she tells me to climb in it. Why? Because I don't want my Prince to be alone. Good point. With that, I jump in, and after a few minutes, for the first time in YEARS, I fall asleep, Brenda's arms around me like a vice, as we fell asleep in each others arms, with her kissing me softly and stroking my hair. Don't let go of me. Never.

A few side notes: The lyrics might be a tad off. Also, I figured, let this be a more, personal in-depth look into my life, as this is all true. My parent's split when I was 12, and when I was 15, it REALLY hit me. I couldn't sleep 4 out of 5 times in the week, staying up til 12 or 1, talking to my Mom, just trying to figure out how to get my personal life back together. Luckily, it's all over, as they've been divorced for bout a year, after the hatred and turmoil went on for about 6, 7 years, and the divorce case went about 2.5 years. New York State Court Systems BLOW. This whole thing took me over 3 hours to write, and it kinda hurt going back into that dark corner of my memory. That's why I chose the song I did, because, even though my Dad's an idiot, I still love him. That's why I bolded that one line of lyrics. If I had to sum this Chapter in one word, it'd have to be painful. Regardless, guys, no flames on this, because I'm fragile on this, and, as always, read, rate, and reply.

[Ben]

Wow, this is really deep and interesting. Love it.
