[Steight]

My first Nuzlocke ever, and I chose Emerald! I'm already on part 6 (started it somewhere else). Hope it's enjoyable!

| Chapter 1 |

So, moving to a new town... I wonder what it'll be like? What type of place is it...

The truck stopped. I exited, and took in my surroundings.

"Wow, what the hell. Two houses. And a lab. This place SUCKS! Why'd we have to move here mom? And why the hell did I have to ride in the truck?!"

"We're here honey!! Sorry that you had to ride in the truck!" She replied cheerfully.

"Damn right you're sorry." I sneered.

"Well, why don't we take a look inside?" Without an answer, she entered the house. I followed, nothing else to do.

"Oh wow! Look at it?! Isn't it fantastice in here? And those pokemon movers are so convenient!" She said.

"...Why is that thing humping our TV?" I questioned.

"Just go into your room! Dad bought you a clock! Go set it!"

"...Wow, he actually remembers we exist?" I mumbled to myself as I walked upstairs. "WHAT THE HELL? WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SLEEP MOM?! There's only one room!" I sighed, and regretfully set the clock. With that, I stomped down the stairs.

"Oh, oh, oh! Steight! Come here to the TV~! You're father's on! You're gonna miss it!" I walked over, trying to look as uninterested as possible. "Aww, looks like you missed it." I hid the disappointment from my face.

"...Oh, well... no big deal..." I guess I don't need to see him, after all this time. He's probably happy without me.

"Why don't you go on over to the next door neighbour's house? You should try to make some friends here!" She suggested. I left without a word.

"What the hell. Where does that fatass live? And that little girl? And that other dude? I'M LIVING IN A TOWN FULL OF HOMELESS PEOPLE." I shouted, to be sure everyone heard me. I didn't care what they thought of me. It's not like I wanted to be here anyway. Might as well try to have as much fun as possible. It seems as though I'll be stuck in this hellhole for a while...

...

| Chapter 2 |

After I was finished making as big of an ass of myself as possible, I headed inside to May's house. When I entered, the woman, I presumed her to be the mother, came up to me and ask who I was. "None of your business. I'm here to see your kid." I replied sharply. Offended, she just stood there and stared at me. "Is she upstairs?"

"Y-yes..." It seems like I made her uncomfortable. She'll get over it. I walked upstairs and... she wasn't there.

"WHAT THE HELL? YOU FUCKING LIAR!" I shouted down. "Oh, hey look, a pokeball... I'll be taking that...." As soon as I walked to the pokeball, a girl came in and asked who I was. She wasn't anything special. After a short talk she said she had to go help her father catch pokemon. She walked over to the computer.

"Bitch, you aren't being much of a help are you?" I said.

"Um. Excuse me. Who do you think you are? You just moved here kid. I run things in this town. You wish you could have me, but you can't. So just get over how amazing I am, and how you wish you could have me, and scram." Wow. She's a conceded bitch.

I started walking downstairs and mumbled, "What is wrong with the people here..." When I walked outside, a small girl came up to me and tugged on my arm.

"Mister! Mister! There's screams coming from outside! Help!" I followed her to the edge of town. As I was walking out, I heard the screams too.

"H-help!!" I ran as fast as I could and saw a Pokemon chasing some dude around. "Hello! You over there! Please, help!" He pointed to the bag. I looked inside and saw three pokeballs. In a rush, I chose the one on the right... "Mudkip" was written on the pokeball. Before I knew it, I was in my first pokemon battle.

"Go, Mudkip!" I shouted as I threw the pokeball. All of this felt natural to me. I had my Mudkip tackle the zigzagoon. It growled at my pokemon, but Mudkip happily tackled him again. The wild pokemon fainted, and I had just won my first pokemon battle.

The professor thanked me, and told me to visit his lab later. "Thank you very much young man! I've heard a lot of great things about you from your father!" My body tensed up when he mentioned my father. The professor noticed, and quickly changed the subject. "So, I feel as though you are itching to make it out of this town. Well, I have the solution you need! Here, you may have that pokemon you saved me with before!"

And with that, I obtained Mudkip. "W-wow... thanks." I couldn't believe it... I could actually have my own adventure?

"Would you like to nickname him?" A nickname. Hmm. What should I name it? My mind flashed back to my old town. I thought of my best friend, Tony. How much fun we had, how much trouble we got in, together. I wanted the same to happen on my adventure with pokemon.

I walked outisde and took Mudkip out of the pokeball. "Hello there, from here on out, you will not be Mudkip. You will be known as Tony!"

Tony smiled. "Wow, master, I'm so happy to be on your team! I can't wait to go on an adventure! We'll have so much fun, it'll be absolutely fantastic!"

"Wow, you seem really jolly. I wish I was as jolly as you." I said. With that I walked out of town, ready to get Tony some battling expierience.

After some practice, I decided to go find May. She was over on route 103. "Bitch, you, me. Tony. Treeko. Let's go."

She turned around. "Wow. You honestly think you have a chance against this?" She pointed at herself. "You must have a mental disorder. Treeko, kill him."

"Tony, let's get it!" I tossed the pokeball out. "Use Tackle!"

The battle was extremely exciting. Tackle, pound, tackle, pound! After all the monotony, I arose, victorious. "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" I shouted in victory.

"Get over yourself. You just got lucky. I'm still leagues ahead of you, in beauty and skill. Whatever, I'm not going to waste my breath talking to you. I'm going to my daddy." She left, and I was left standing there, alone, with Tony.

"She's such a bitch." Tony nodded in agreement. I sighed and headed back to the lab. When I arrived, the professor handed me a machine called a pokedex. Then Queen Bitch came and gave me 5 pokeballs. "Wow, a present? I'm so flattered."

"Whatever. Daddy already bought me a better version of those, ultra balls. Too bad you're too poor to afford them. So, I figured since I'm such a nice person, I'd give you my leftover junk." With that, she left the lab.

"Someone really needs to slap that bitch." I told her father. He looked shocked. I didn't wait for a response, and headed outside. My mom came over to me and gave me new shoes. "BITCHIN'!" I shouted.

"I can't believe you're all grown up! Have fun on your adventure. Bye!" She smiled and went back to the house. Now, with a zip in my step, I ran to route 103. I decided it was time for me to attempt to catch my first pokemon.

After walking around a bit, a female Poochyena appeared. I had tony slap some mud in her face, and then I threw a pokeball at it. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotcha! Maddy was caught! ...

"Ok, let's see how you two get along!" I sent out Tony and Maddy.

"Hey Maddy! How are you? I'm fantastic. It's an amazing day out! I can't believe you're a part of the team now! This is gonna be so fun! We're like partners and stuff! This is so awesome!" Tony, jolly as ever.

"Umm... Hi..." She moved around while she talked.

"She looks like a weirdo." I whisper to Tony.

"She's just a little quirky." Tony whispered back.

"Oh. I guess a little quirkiness isn't too bad..." I decided to see how she did in battle. It looked as though she really didn't know how to do much besides Tackle things. Tony already knew how to slap mud at someone and spit water at someone. Oh well, you have to start somewhere I suppose.

I worked on getting Maddy battle experience, and then decided that I was off to Route 102, unsure of what might await me there.

...

| Chapter 3 |

As soon as I took my first steps on Route 102, some little kid ran up to me and shouted, "Hey mister! I just got my pokemon! Battle me, battle me!" My first real trainer battle. This should be interesting...

"Go, Maddy!" I shouted and threw her pokeball. Out she came. "I know you can handle this..." She should have enough experience to win this. It looks as if his Poochyena hadn't had as much experience as mine had.

"I'll get him master!" Maddy had a fire in her eyes, and in no time, she took down the foe.

"Nice work, Maddy!" I was proud of her. I returned her in her pokeball, and continued on in the route. There were a few trainers here and there, and nothing eventful happened. That's when I noticed something in the grass...

It was an odd looking stump with red spikes sticking out of it... I went to investigate, and all of a sudden it moved! I realized it was a pokeomon! I tossed Maddy out, and had her tackle it to weaken it. Then, I threw a pokeball at it. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotcha, Gloria the Ralts was caught!

"Let's see how you get along with everyone..." I tossed Tony, Maddy, and Gloria out.

"Oh my gosh! A new teammate! I'm so excited to see you on the team! You look strong! I hope we can have a lot of fun together!!!!!!" Tony said gleefully.

"... Hey... you look... " Maddy mumbled, and I couldn't really understand her. She's odd.

"Umm... Hi! Glad to be part of the team... Can you hurry up and get me some experience? If I get enough I can actually attack them!" Gloria said. She seemed a little hasty.

"Alright. So, it seems like you won't be that useful at the moment. How about I send you out first, and then Maddy will finish the job?" I suggested.

"Sounds good to me! Let's go, let's go!" She certainly was hasty. I got her more experience. After a while, I got a little upset that she still couldn't attack things. So I regretfully decided to go to Petalburg City. I tried as hard as possible to not be noticed. I didn't want to risk the chance of being seen. I didn't want to face him. I saw the exit of the town. I was almost there. Then...

"Hello, good sir, you appear to be a trainer!" Fuck. "You should come to the pokemon gym! That's what all trainers do!"

"I don't fucking want to." I really hoped to get past him. He seemed really pushy though.

"Nonsense, come with me sir!" He's extremely annoying. Before I could do anything, he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the gym.

"Fine, fine, I'll fucking go in, just leave me alone." I went inside. There my father was. After all these years, he's just standing there, smiling.

"Hello, my boy! I'm glad you came... oh, it's you, Steight. I thought you were someone else. So... How have you and your mother been?" He asked.

I stood there quietly for a while. A range of emotions filled my mind. I had no clue what to say. All I knew was that I despised the man that stood before me. "... How have we been? ... How have we been? That's all you have to say after all these years? You have no right to ask how we've been. The answer is we've been fine. We've been absolutely fantastic after you left. In fact, we're better off without you... How could you--" I was interrupted by someone entering.

"Wally! My good man! How's my little student going?" He sounded exciited.

"I'm fine... it's just... I figured since, well, you've looked after me and taught me a lot... So... Can I catch my first pokemon today?" He looked eager. I stood and watched, in silence.

"That's an excellent idea! Um, Steight, why don't you go help him?" He started mumbling. "Maybe some of Wally will rub off on you..."

I pretended not to hear him. "... Alright. Come with me 'Wally'. This way.". I let out a sigh and took him to Route 102. We walked in the grass and the same type of Pokemon as Gloria appeared.

"Oh, oh! I want that one!" I couldn't believe it. Not only is he stealing my dad, but also my type of pokemon?

"W-why don't we just keep going and try to find--" He interrupted me.

"So I just have to like hurt it and stuff? And then throw a pokeball?" He did just that. And sure enough, he caught it.

"What?! You fucking knew how to do it already? Why the fuck did I have to come? I didn't have someone babysitting me when I caught Maddy!" I already hate this kid.

"C-calm down. Let's go back to da-- I mean your dad!" I hate him so much. We went back to the gym, and my dad had an anxious look.

"Did you get one, son?" He asked.

"No, but Wally did." I replied.

"Oh. That's what I meant." I should've figured.

"So, Norman. You own a gym? So, can I challenge you? I just want to get this battle over with. I can't stand being in the same room as you." I replied.

"Listen, kid. You have no chance against me. Why don't you make your way to Rustboro. I didn't want you then, and I didn't want you now." Maybe it was a good thing he left. He's a huge douche.

"Fine, but mark my words. I will beat you one day. And it'll feel great. So prepare yourself as much as you can, I'm going to destroy you." I felt extremely confident. Maybe I was trying to prove myself. Wally seemed extremely uncomfortable. I left without another word.

"Alright, guys. Tony, Gloria, Maddy. You all will be my family on this journey." I looked at them all.

"I won't let you down master!" Tony said with a skip in his step.

"I got...." Maddy mumbled again.

"Yeah yeah, we have each others back. Let's get on to the new route!" Gloria, rushed as always.

"Alright, let's go team!" We marched our way past the douche that caused my family reunion, and moved on to Route 104. Some odd guy approached me as I left, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I had Tony slap mud in his face and we all ran. I knew that it would be a tough journey ahead. I heard that Petalburg woods divided the route into two halves. I also heard it was a "Rookie Killing Forest". I had a bad feeling about it.

...

| Chapter 4 |

I reluctantly arrived at the entrance to Petalburg woods. The beginning of Route 104 was nothing special, except for the fact that Gloria was able to attack things now, and completely destroyed those she did attack.

"You ready guys? I'm sure we can make it through, together." I said.

"It's gonna be awesome! Maybe we can find a new partner! Maybe we'll meet some new friends! I can't wait! New places are exciting!" Tony said. With that we all stepped into Petalburg Woods. I felt amazing, like this was the first trial I would have to pass as a trainer. I got my swag on when... I tripped and landed flat on my face.

"What the hell?" I looked around, and there was some lazy pokemon, "Slakoth" according to my pokedex, just laying by the entrance. "Might as well catch it..." I sent Gloria out and had her Confusion it. It looked like it was weak enough, so I threw a pokeball. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotcha, Sora was caught!

I tossed Sora out of his pokeball. He looked sleepy. "Err... welcome to the team?"

He yawned. "So like, I'm pretty useless now. But if you hurry and get me experience, I get pretty awesome and not lazy. But then I get lazy again. So like, you should hurry up and get me experience." Wow. Hasty AND lazy. I didn't think it was possible...

"Oh my gosh! I knew coming here would be awesome! A new teammate! Oh my gosh oh my gosh! I wish master would've caught that bird thing before... Oh well! At least there's a new person here and everything! I'm so excited!" Tony said.

"Well... like..." Maddy mumbled more. I really wish I could understand her.

"Oh my gosh, I know how you feel Sora! Before I was pretty useless, but now that we got the lead out I'm epic!" Gloria said. Looks like those two could really get along.

"Alright, now let's see what's in store for us." We walked through the forest for a while, and there was a bug catcher. He had 4 of the same pokemon. Maddy and Sora easily took care of them. I thought things were pretty boring, when all of a sudden...

"Umm, excuse me, have you seen a pokemon called Shroomish around here?" Some guy in a green suit asked me. Then, all of a sudden, some mean looking guy in a blue outfit came up behind him.

"There you are!" He kicked the business man on the ground. "Why the fuck did you have to dwaddle so long? I guess I'll just have to kick your ass here."

"Hey, leave him alone." I made my way in between the two.

"Don't get in my way, dumbass." I knew I was getting into trouble, but I hate when people act like they're bigger and better than everyone.

"Listen, just get out of here. No need to cause any trouble." Just then, he ran over and kicked Maddy. "What the fuck?!"

"Listen, kid, I tell you what to do. Not the other way around. Now why don't YOU just run along and play." He was arrogant.

"Do you want to fight?!" I knew I couldn't take him. I don't know why I said that. He burst into laughter.

"You. Wanna fight me?!" He laughed some more. "Fuck, I'll just have my Poochyena do the job." He sent out a poochyena.

"Maddy. Think you're up for a little revenge?" She nodded. "Take care of him!" Maddy swiftly defeated the grunt's Poochyena.

"Fuck. The boss'll kill me if my Pokemon dies... You haven't heard the last of team aqua, kid." With that, he left.

"T-thanks." The guy in the green suit said, as he was standing up. "S-so, I guess as thanks you can have this!" He handed me something in a package. My eyes lit up.

"What is it?" I asked with excitement.

"A great ball! It's a better version of a pokeball!" He replied.

"... Just get out of here." I said, anger in my voice. He looked terrified, and ran. With nothing else to do, I continued going deeper into the forest. Then, I saw the entrance. I ran towards it. "Wow, looks like this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Almost home free." All of a sudden, a little tiny pokemon appeared, 'Shroomish'. I had Maddy take care of it.

After the battle, Maddy didn't look so good. She started coughing a lot. It seemed like each step we took she was getting weaker. "A-are you alright Maddy?"

"I... don't... feel good..." That's the first full sentence I've understood from her. It didn't look good. I picked her up and started running back to Petalburg. I was almost there, when she started looking really bad. I kept going, and finally it seemed like she was on her final breath.

"H-hang in there Maddy!" I gently set her down, and opened my bag. I frantically searched in each pouch and found a berry I had picked earlier. "I-I'm not sure if this will help, but it has to!" I fed her the berry. Immediately she looked a little better, and I was able to make it to the pokemon center.

"Thank goodness you're okay Maddy! That'd be horrible if something happened to you! To any of us! I just hope nothing else bad happens! That would be absolutely horrible!" Tony said.

"Alright guys, now let's go through the forest!" I ran as fast as I could, and ran form as many battles as I could. I didn't want to chance another event like last time. After making it all the way through the forest, I followed the rest of route 104 to Rustboro city.

"Wow, master! A gym, a gym! We should go there! I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun!" Tony ran ahead of us. Inside, I noticed the rocky appearance.

"This should be easy for you, Tony!" And that it was. Tony beat each gym trainer with ease, until finally we made it to the gym leader. Tony quickly dispatched of all three of her pokemon, and I won my first badge!

"Congrats!" Roxanne said as she handed me my very first badge. "You definitely earned it!"

"So, counterpicking makes me earn it? Whatever floats your boat." I walked outside. I started making my way towards the pokemon center when I got knocked over by the Team Aqua grunt from the woods.

"Outta my fucking way, kid!" He shouted. He was carrying a package. The green suited man came running out.

"Wait, wait! Please stop!!" He chased after the grunt.

"Wow, that dude really needs to learn how to protect himself." I ran after them. The green suit man started approaching me. "Stop. Don't even bother. I'll go save your ass. But this is the last. Fucking. Time." I kept going out of town and onto Route 106. As I was walking towards where I saw the grunt go, I heard an awful noise.

"What the hell...?" It turns out, it was a pokemon. 'Whismur'. I had Maddy weaken it, and then I through a pokeball. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotach, Ellen was caught! "Wow, she seems a little useless, but whatever."

As usual, I sent her out to get aquainted to the team.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. A new teammate! How are you Ellen?! I'm Tony! Nice to have you on the team! It'll be so much fun!" I guess Tony's jolliness isn't all bad. At least he's not a douche.

"Umm...Hi... wanna... tell us about yourself?" Maddy said a full sentence again? Wow.

"Hi. So my friends call me indestructible because no matter what happens, I never die. Once I was trapped in the mountains without food or water for 10 days and I managed to survive by eating rocks. So I guess you could say I'm hardy." She sounds like a boss.

"Alright, Ellen, time to get you some experience!" After some training, I decided it was time to go confront the Team Aqua person. I stood at the entrance to a cave, when an old man approached me.

"E-excuse me, young man... My darling Peeko was kidnapped by that awful man... Could you help me get him back?" Poor old man. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my pokemon.

"S-sure thing." Great. No pressure. I took my first steps into the cave, with the weight of the old man's Peeko on my shoulder.

...

---

| Chapter 5 |

The cave was foggy. It had a bunch of Whismur in it, and nothing else. It didn't take long until I found the Aqua grunt with Peeko the Wingull. "Where do you think you're going?" I called out.

"Fuck... You're still insisting on stopping me? Listen kid. I told you once, and I'll tell you again. Don't mess with us." He smiled. "Poochyena. Take care of them."

"Maddy, you know what to do!" I sent Maddy out. She tackled him, and he threw sand in her eyes. "Maddy!" I could tell she was having a hard time seeing. She kept missing with her tackles. And the bastard Poochyena kept throwing sand in her eyes. "Hang in there!" I shouted. Just when I had begun to lose hope, she managed to hit him. It seemed like it hurt him, a lot more than the others had.

"Fuck! Good for nothing pokemon. I can't let that damned thing die. Here's the precious 'goods'. And this shitty pokemon." He started walking away. "You picked the wrong person to mess with kid. Mark my words." I could tell he was serious. I was beginning to wonder what I had gotten myself into. Just then the old man came running up.

"Thank you so much for saving my darling Peeko! I'll do whatever you want to repay you!" I smiled. I could see the bond between the poor old man and his pokemon... then he started kissing it. Okay, that's a little weird. "I live in a shack just outside of Petalburg City. Come visit us sometime! I'll make it... worth your while." With that, he winked and left.

"Let's get these 'goods' back to that moron..." I started walking back to Rustboro. Before I made it, Tony tugged at my leg.

"Uh... Master? I feel... weird..." He was glowing white.

"Wh-what's wrong?!" I was worried. I'd never seen anything like this before. He started looking different. And after a while, a huge flash occured, and he looked completely different.

"Master... I feel.. STRONGER!" He smiled. "Fuck yeah, let's get it." Awesome. Looks like he's becoming a boss.

I walked back to Rustboro. The idiot in the suit saw me and dragged me back to his boss.

"Thank you my boy! Here! Have this Pokenav!" It looked like a shitty cell phone. "Also, since you helped us... mind helping us again? With TWO things?"

"HELL NO!" I shouted.

"Well then it's settled. You'll take this letter to Steven on Dewford Island. He's somewhere there I think. And take this package to Captain Stern in Slateport! He should be somewhere around there I guess." Dammit.

"But I--" The green suited guy brought me to the door. I guess I'm stuck doing that old man's busy work. When I walked outside, some scientist came up to me.

"Hey, you should call the president." He said.

"I just fucking talked to him." I angrily replied.

"Come on I'm sure--" He couldn't finish because I punched him in the face. I started walking out of Rustboro when I saw Queen Bitch.

"Hey bitch." I said as I walked up to her.

"Wow, you're here too? Why don't you just go into a hole and die already. Nobody wants you." She's as charming as ever.

"Bitch, why don't we have a Pokemon battle, right here, right now." I said. "Put your money where your mouth is."

"I don't have to prove anything to you. Just get last and go hang out with that ugly old dude. I'm sure he'd love to have you on his boat." She rolled her eyes. "And I'm sure you'd enjoy it too."

"Do you ever stop talking?" I hate her. "Let's get this started." Before she could object, I sent out Gloria.

"Wow. That thing looks weak. Not as weak as you are, but still. Wingull, kill her." The wingull didn't do much. All it did was growl. Gloria just used confusion and defeated it. Next, she sent out Treeko.

"Alright, now hurry up and get me out of here." Gloria said. "I don't think I can hand this." I listened to her advice. I switched her out for Ellen.

"I guess this can be your first chance to prove yourself..." Ellen began going into an uproar, while Treeko pounded on her. It didn't do much good though, and Ellen ended up winning.

"Why does this keep happening to me! Good things should happen to good people!" She was pouting. "This isn't fair! You suck Steight! Just run along to that pedophile Mr. Briney." I suppose that isn't the worst idea... I do need to get to Dewford somehow...

"Later, bitch." I walked down towards Petalburg Woods. I jumped off the tiny cliffs to avoid facing wild pokemon, and emerged. There Mr. Briney's shack was. I went inside. He looked excited when he saw me.

"Mmmm... hello young man... me and my Peeko were just... playing... together." He winked at me.

"Um... I need a way to get to Dewford." I regretfully stated.

"Mmmm.... say no more. You can ride on my boat anytime." He walked out. I entered his tiny ship, and we set sail. I tried to stay as far away from him as possible, but with the size of the ship, it was difficult. Finally, we landed. "How's about we go to my place later... and get to know each other more?"

"No thanks... but... maybe if you take me to Slateport once I'm done here!" I needed to give him SOME incentive. I let all of my pokemon out of their pokeballs. "So, where do you guys want to go first? Cave, or gym?"

"FUCK YEAH, caves are the shit! The darkness adds a sense of... danger. It's a fucking rush. Getting lost... OH FUCK YES! THE RUSH! Gyms are fucking fantastic too. Getting stronger and shit. I don't know. Someone else decide!" Tony said.

"Gym... then cave..." Maddy said.

"Let's go to the gym! Quick gogogo!" Gloria said.

"I don't care. Either way... but just hurry up and decide. I'll be laying here." Sora yawned as he spoke.

"I guess the gym first... I can't wait until the cave! I can show how hardy I am!" Ellen said.

"Alright it's settled! To the gym!" The gym was easy, thanks to Gloria. I ended up getting my second badge. "I guess it's time to go through the cave..." I walked past a few fisherman who battled me, but all they had were crappy fishlike pokemon.

"Fuck yes! Cave time!" Tony ran ahead of everyone, and we all sped up just to catch up. Inside, some hiker tried to flash me, but I quickly ran past him. There was a ladder, which I climbed down. Going through Granite Cave was difficult because of how dark it was, but finally we found 'Steven'.

"You Steven?" I asked him. He was just standing in the middle of the room, for no apparent reason.

"Yes I am. I love it here." Great, a shut-in.

"Umm... some douche asked me to give this letter to you." I handed him the letter.

"Ah, I see I see... here's a TM!" He handed me the TM for Steel Wing. What the hell? That's random, oh well. It's free. Without another word, he left.

"Alright guys, lets go to Slateport." I exited the cave and went back to the old man. When he saw me his eyes lit up.

"Mmm... so to Slateport? And then my shack afterwards?" He winked at me. "I've got an xbox and some candy."

"Uhh, sure, whatever." I lied, knowing I would never have to talk to him again. We road to Slateport in the small boat, and again I tried to avoid Mr. Briney as much as possible. When we landed, I ran straight into town. I didn't want to be anywhere near Mr. Briney now that I didn't have to.

"Looks like shit's going down... Fuck." Tony said, and he pointed towards the museum. I saw a line of rioting Team Aqua Grunts. They had crowbars in their hand.

"Damn... We should lay low for a bit... let's go in and see what they're up to when things calm down a little... For now let's find that Captain..." I went to the shipyard.

"Hey there, I'm Dock!" Some random man came up to me.

"What a... retarded name." I said. "I'm looking for Captain Stern. You seen him?"

"Ahh, he's at the museum." Dock said.

"Fuck. Let's go guys..." We went outside and saw that there was still a crowd. We snuck past and headed onto Route 110. I looked around and saw an adorable green pokemon in the grass, 'Electrike'. "Hmm..." I thought for a while, and decided to catch it. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotcha, Electrike was caught!

I wasn't sure what to name it... It seemed like it had a mild nature... I thought back to my past home... My next door neighbor had that same type of personality... He was also one of my best friends... I decided to name him "Luke", after that friend.

"Alright, let's see how you get along with everyone!" I sent him out of his pokeball.

"Yo. Nice to have you on the team. Sure we'll have a lot of fun, and shit!" Tony still seemed a little jolly.

"Glad to... meet you..." Maddy said.

"Nice to see you on the team... can you hurry up and get caught up to our level though?" Gloria, being hasty again.

Sora yawned. "I think I like you, Luke. Let's be friends."

"I'm Ellen! Try not to disappoint the master!" Ellen said

"Uh... Hi! I hope to... be useful. And stuff!" Luke seemed nice. He smiled while he talked.

"Alright... let's see what Team Aqua is up to..." We walked back to town, and it seemed as though everyone had made their way inside the museum. We walked up to the entrance. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw the two ladies at the counter huddled in fear, and there were people being threatened, and beaten on the ground.

"Shit..." I quietly walked past everyone. The grunts were too distracted by the hostages to notice. I didn't see anyone who looked like a Captain, so I went up the steps. I saw a lone person standing next to a model ship. "Are you Captain Stern?"

"Y-yes... I am... I ran up here when I heard those guys..." He looked shaken up.

"I have to deliver this package to you." I took it out and handed it to him. "Now let's get out of--" Before I could finish, two of the grunts ran upstairs.

"There they are." They both smiled. "We'll get a promotion if we take out both of these guys AND get the package."

"For fuck's sake. Why don't you guys just leave?" I said.

"Make us." He said. He was extremely cocky. "Carvhana, kill this dumbass." He threw out a fish-type pokemon.

"Sora, go!" I threw Sora out. "Cut him!" Sora used cut, but it seemed like each time he hit him, the skin of Carvhana hurt him. Sora ended up winning, but he looked pretty week. "Ha, that's all you guys got?"

"There's two of us, you know." He threw out a zubat.

"Sora, use Cut!" The zubat looked like it was about to be defeated. Then it used supersonic. Sora seemed extremely confused. "Sora, quick, slack off! Slack off!"

"I--I have to rest this turn... I'll do it then..." He looked weak. After he rested, he tried to do his move, but he ended up falling on his face. It didn't look good.

"T-try again!" I shouted in desperation. But, the same thing happened. I let him try once more. It seemed like he would be able to make it, when...

"Zubat, use Leech Life." That damned Zubat took the life out of Sora. Sora lay there, motionless. I didn't know what to do.

"... S-sora?" He didn't move. My eyes got teary. "You... bastards..." I sent out Ellen.

"This is for Sora!" Ellen shouted and started an uproar. She took out the Zubat, and the Carvanha that followed. After the battle was over, I ran over to Sora.

"Sora... I--I'm sorry..." I was in tears. The whole time the grunts were laughing. "Dammit... I failed you Sora... I'm so sorry..." While I was sitting there, the leader of the group came up the stairs. When he saw the scene, he burst into laughter too.

"So you're the kid that's been fucking our plans up. Make this a lesson for you. Don't fuck with us. I suppose you 'win' this one, but was it worth it kid? Don't get in our way again." With that, he left, and I was left there, crying.

"So... thanks for the package!" The captain ran out. I stayed there for a while, blaming myself for keeping him out in the field. I hated myself. That's when I heard a voice.

"Don't let them win. You have to stop them. For me." It sounded like Sora. After that, I stood up, whiped away my tears, and left the museum. I buried him just outside of town. I wrote 'Forever a part of the team' on the gravestone, and walked onwards.

Those fuckers will pay.

| Chapter 6 |

I decided to get some serious training on. I trained all of my teammates. Maddy and Gloria ended up changing form, just like Tony, into 'Mightyena' and 'Kirlia' respectively.

"I'll destroy everything in my path!" Maddy said. I fire burnt in her eyes. She could finally talk normally. Looks like her quirkiness was gone...

"Almost done growing. Hurry up and get me there please!" Kirlia said. She was still a little hasty. I continued walking on the route, and went under cycling road. There I saw her: Queen Bitch, in all her bitchiness.

"What are you doing here. I am getting sick of seeing you everywhere I go. Quit following me. You'll never get me." She said.

"Bitch, who said I wanted you in the first place? Quit talking shit, and battle." I retorted. The battle didn't last long. Maddy destroyed her Wingull and Treeko, and Ellen finished off her Slugma. "Why do you even talk shit when you know you can't back it up?"

"I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." She started walking away.

"That's what people say when they're too retarded to think of something to say!" I called after her. She flipped me off, and kept going. I ran through the rest of the route, and ended up in Mauville City. I went out each exit and battled the trainers there, for experience.

"I think we should go to the gym now." Maddy said.

"I think I'll do great there!" Tony said.

"Alright, it's settled. We're going to the gym." I walked into the building, and pretty much swept everything with Tony. Afterwards, I walked out and decided to train a little more.

"W-what's happening?" Ellen asked as she started glowing white. She changed form, just like Maddy, Gloria, and Tony had. "YEAH!" She shouted. Her mouth was huge.

"You look... pretty...?" I didn't know what to say. She did look pretty boss, though. I went to the north of Mauville, and Maddy broke some rocks. She's awesome now. I kept going and came across a desert. The sandstorm was vicious, and I didn't want to risk going in there and having my pokemon get hurt.

"Master, what's that?" Gloria asked, and pointed to a yellow patch in the grass. I moved closer to it, and it scurried away from me.

"It's a pokemon!" I said. I had Gloria weaken it, and then I threw a pokeball at it. *beep* *beep* *beep* *click!* Gotcha, Cammy the Numel was caught!

"Uh... Hello..." Cammy hid her face from everyone.

"Looks like she's a bit bashful..." Ellen said.

"Yeah. Don't worry Cammy, we don't bite." Tony said.

"Well, I do." Maddy said with a smile. Cammy seemed a little scared about that. "Just kidding. I only bite the enemy!"

"Cammy, no need for fear... I'll make sure nothing happens to you!" Luke said. Cammy still seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry Cammy. We'll take care of you. No need to be afraid." I said. I hope she gets used to being around us all soon. I walked up some steps, and saw two men dressed in odd clothes. They reminded me of the Team Aqua grunts, but these guys were dressed in red, not blue. I went behind them silently and listened to their conversation.

"Should we really be trying to control that type of monster?"

"Don't question the boss. He knows what he's doing."

"Whatever... we just have to stand watch here until he gets back right?"

"Yes. Once he gets back with the meteorite, we'll head up Mt. Chimney."

"Fuck... I don't want to wait..." I slipped away after that and went through the 'Fiery Path'. I kept following the paths until I ended up in a place called 'Fallarbor Town'.

"Wow. No gym. This place sucks ass." I said. I moved on to the next route. The trip was a great way to get everyone on my team some extra battling experience, but it was also pretty boring. I came to a place called 'Meteor Falls'. I heard something going on inside, so I ran in and saw two more of the red dressed grunts and a man that looked like a scientist.

"Give us the meteorite!" One shouted. He punched the scientist in the stomach. The scientist gave him it. "Ha, thanks." He pushed the man onto the ground, then started kicking him repeatedly, the whole time this happened he was laughing.

"Knock it off, someone's been watching." He pointed at me. "You better not mess with Team Magma."

"And what if I do?" I said. Out of nowhere, Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, walked up.

"You have the meteorite?! Get them!" He shouted. Archie and his grunts chased after the two Team Magma grunts.

"...What's the big deal? It's just a meteorite..." I said.

"They're... using it to... awaken... a monster..." The scientist said. I helped him up and took him to his home in Fallarbor. Then, I headed out to Mt. Chimney.

As soon as I stepped out of the cable car, I saw a lot of Team Aqua grunts fighting Team Magma grunts. I ran past them, and had to defeat a few on my own. They were all rambling about "expanding the land". It seemed as if they were insane... Finally, I found the leader.

"Hello. It seems as if you're the one I've heard about who's been stopping Team Aqua's plans. You'd better not do the same to Team Magma, or you'll regret it." He threatened.

"I'm not just going to give up because you told me to." I stated.

"My pokemon will destroy you." He threw out a pokeball, and out came a Mightyena.

"Luke, you got this?" He nodded. He defeated the Mightyena easily, and took down a Zubat even faster. I called him back though, because Maxie sent out a Camerupt.

"Let me go, master." Maddy said. She went out, and it looked like Camerupt was a little intimidated by her. She kept biting it, and it couldn't move. Finally, it fell.

"How did you win?!" He looked angry. "No matter. This isn't the only way to get what we're after. You'll regret this. You better watch your back, kid." He walked away.

"Wow, I'm so scared." I went back down Mt. Chimney to Jagged Pass. As I was walking through, I saw one of Team Magma grunts.

"What are you doing here? Did you get lost?" I taunted him.

"Fuck... Just leave! There's nothing important here." Wow, he's not totally suspicious. We started battling, and I ended up defeating him easily. "Damn... why don't you just go on and scram!"

"Yeah, and why should I?"

"Because there's a gym in Lavaridge!" Damn. He knows how to pursuade me. I went to Lavaridge, and found the gym. We all entered. In no time, Tony completely wrecked their shit.

"Fuck yeah. Fire types, no problem." Tony said after he won. We exited the gym, and Queen Bitch came out of the building next door.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. "Oh. You somehow managed to get the badge here. You're probably still way worse than me. I bet I could even beat your 'dad'". She laughed, and rode away on a bike, but she hit a rock and fell off. I started laughing hysterically.

"Dumb bitch." I said through my laughter.

"S-shut up!" She quickly ran away. I noticed something fell out of her bag, and I went over and picked it up. It looked like a pair of goggles.

"Guys... WE'RE GOING TO THE DESERT!" As soon as we arrived, I knew it was a bad idea. Even with the goggles, my pokemon were miserable. The only ones not really affected were Tony and Cammy.

"Master... can we get out of here?" Maddy looked pretty beaten up, so I decided to call it quits. Managed to find a tower, and picked up a fossil from it. As soon as I picked it up, the tower collapsed, and I ran out of the desert, for good, and moved on to Petalburg.

"Watch out Norman... I'm coming."

Part 7 coming soon (hopefully!)
