1Location: Unknown
He sat there in the cage, just waking up, then turned his head. A silver colored Lion was across from him, unconscious... scratches were all over that lion's body . He sighed, "(nothing deserves this hell... if only I knew what to do)."
Route 13: 9:35 am
Blake ran across (and battled) several bug and flying type pokemon, trying to get his Gible, Hector more powerful.
"End it with Outrage!" Blake ordered.
"(I'll destroy you!)" Hector yelled as it thrashed against a trainer's Rowlett, a green feathered Owl (that's absolutely adorable) with a cream body and a auburn colored bowtie.
The other trainer blinked in surprise... "I lost that quickly!?"
Blake sighed "Sorry about that," he apologized.
The other trainer handed over some pokédollars to Blake, then they both said their farewells. After a little more walking, Blake finally arrived at Cubis City... the buildings that boarder the route look like the edge if a cube.
"What do you think Hector?" Blake asked.
"(Big, very very big.)" Hector stated.
Blake checked his map... it was a device that displays a map in 3d with the geographic locations of the important buildings in each city.
"Man... this thing comes in handy." Blake said as he and Hector headed to the Pokemon Center.
The center was a one floor building, red on the outside, and clear glass doors that lead into the building. Once he stepped inside, Blake got Hector's pokeball, and returned the shark-like dragon into it. Then, Blake strolled to the reception desk where a Nurse Joy and her Blissy (a pink oval shaped pokemon with white frills on its shoulders, and stomach... as well as an egg in irs pouch) were waiting.
"Hello, welcome to the center.. can I help you?" Nurse Joy asked.
"Yeah, can you just look at my Gible?" Blake asked as he gave Nurse Joy the ball.
"Sure.. it won't take long... I'll call you when it's finished." Nurse Joy answered.
"Thank you." Blake said as he headed towards one of the booths.
Blake sat down, and looked the menu, when suddenly...
"Mind if I sit here?" Blake heard another person asked.
"Sure, I don't mind." Blake answered.
Blake looked up from the menu, and saw a brunette haired girl with beautiful emerald eyes, and she wears a white t shirt, black shorts, and black sneakers.
"Name's Amanda, I'm just having my Treecko get a check up." Amanda introduced.
"My name's Blake, and same with my Gible." Blake introduced.
Amanda's eyes widened in shock, then exclaimed "You have a Gible? Cool!"
"Not that surprising, my Dad's the Dragonic Village's Gym leader.. of course he'd let me raise a Dragon type."
"I see. My brother is a member of the Elite 4.. he said he'd come home to see me get my starter, Treecko, but I didn't see him anywhere." Amanda informed.
"An Elite 4 member... which one?" Blake asked.
"He's the Lightning Brute, Zane." Amanda informed
Just then; a guy with Spiked yellow hair, bright emerald eyes, who wears a blue vest with a red t shirt underneath, Blue sweatpants, and dark green boots entered the center. Blake turned to see him enter (after Amanda looked up to see him)
"Zane... a member of the Elite 4, I can feel the intensity from here." Blake thought.
"Zane!" Amanda called.
Zane looked over to see both Amanda and Blake at the booth, and waved to them, then strolled over, and sat down with Amanda.
"You're late!" Amanda exclaimed as she pulled his ear.
"Ow... Ow! Sorry, my map made no sense, so I couldn't get here in time." Zane explained as he took his device out.
Blake and Amanda stared at it, then turned to him, both face palming themselves.
"What?" Zane asked.
"This isn't the map of Cubis City, this is Malachite City's map." Blake informed
"Really, I could've sworn..." Zane trailled off.
"You. Complete. Airhead! This is why Mom didn't let you travel without your friend!" Amanda exclaimed.
Zane laughed nervously at that comment
Just then, Nurse Joy came over to their table, and said "your pokemon's check up is complete. No problems or complications." She said as she gave Hector's Pokeball back to Blake, and the Ball the Treecko was in to Amanda.
"Thank you, Nurse Joy." The two teens said at the same time.
As Nurse Joy left, Blake called Hector out of his Pokeball, "How do you feel, buddy?" Blake asked.
"(Great!)" The Gible responded.
"Wow, a Gible.. let me guess... you're here to see Professor Sherwood to get a starter, right?" Zane asked.
"Um... yeah." Blake answered.
"Good timing, I'm supposed to meet a Pokemon Ranger who was assigned the escort mission, I think he's still at the lab." Zane informed.
"Let's go then!" Blake exclaimed
The three trainers left the pokemon center, and followed Amanda (because Zane would get them lost) to a black roofed building that has a green paint job, at the front of the building.. a guy wearing the classic Pokemon Ranger's outfit stood there, waiting. As the three met up with the ranger, Blake could see that this ranger has bushy green hair in the same style as a Zoroark, and wears a Vatanage styler on his left wrist. A Zorua... a black fox like creature with blue eyes, and a tuff of black hair (red at the tip) was sitting on his shoulder
"Zane.. you're late." The ranger informed.
"Sorry, N... I was using the wrong map." Zane bowed as he apologized.
"Wait... N.. as in the former king of Team Plasma from Unova?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah, it's complicated..." N trailed off
Professor Sherwood's Lab: 10:56 Am
While the four of them waited for Professor Sherwood, N explained everything that happened in his life up to the time he became a pokemln ranger. Then, Professor Sherwood entered the room. Professor Sherwood has a vibe of someone that's not to be crossed, her long red heair, snow white lab coat, and black glasses was an interesting combo to say the least.
"Blake... we're ready for you." Sherwood informed.
Blake got up (as the other three did at the same time), and travled to the main part of the building, there sat just one pokemon. A Tepig (a red-orange pig with black hide, and a large snout)... something was wrong as this Tepig had a scar over its right eye, which was also closed.. it gave off a vibe of unadulterated anger.
"What's wrong with it?" Blake asked.
N walked towards it, and the Tepig glared. "His nest and parents were attacked, he didn't see what did it, but whatever did it gave him that scar." N informed.
Blake blinked... "um, how do you-"
"I can hear the voices of Pokemon." N informed.
Sherwood coughed, "N arrived with it earlier today... there was a group of kanto starters, this little one ended up with them. Everyone chose a kanto starter, but not this Tepig," she explained.
Blake looked at the Tepig, and the Tepig stared at him back. "I'll look after him, if that's alright." Blake informed.
"Sure... here's it's pokeball, now can I see your map device?" Professor Sherwood asked.
"Sure." Blake said as the exchanged items (pokeball and map device respectively).
After tapping a few buttons, and putting it in a highly expensive looking computer, Sherwood gave the map device back to Blake.
"I just installed the Pokedex app to your map device, basically, you can see the information of all pokemon on it, and their locations." Sherwood informed.
"Alright...hey Tepig, weclome to the team... hope we can be friends." Blake smiled as he approached.
"(Stay back!)" Tepig growled, Blake took a few steps back in shock.
"Maybe you should put the Tepig in its pokeball." Zane suggested.
"Alright." Blake informed as he did so.
After some time, all of them sat in the chairs around the waiting room.
"I guess Tepig doesn't know how to trust people yet... makes sense if it's parents were attacked, it wouldn't have learned how to trust." Blake stated.
"What are you going to do... if he doesn't trust you, you won't be able to battle with him." Zane explained.
"I'll work on it... it took a few weeks before Hector trusted me enough to be friends with him." Blake informed.
N nodded "It takes time for a trainer and pokemon to become friends."
Zane yawned, then got up from his seat.
"Zane?" Amanda asked.
"Gotta get back to the league, and prepare for the tournament, Serena'll kill me if I don't." Zane explained as he walked out of the room.
"Don't get lost!" Amanda yelled after him.
Blake binked... "how did he become an elite 4 member?"
Amanda sighed, and got up, "I need to get going, there's gym badges I have to win." She informed.
Amanda left, leaving N and Blake to themselves.
"Escorting the starters here was just one if the missions I was assigned, I need to track down and get something back that was forcefully taken from my own region." N informed.
Before N could get up, Blake put his hand on N's shoulder.
"You wanted something?" N aksed
"Would it be alright... if we traveled together?" Blake asked in turn.
