(Poke) Viridian City - Crossroads

[Candescence]

After spending a bit of time looking for Rush (who they found easily), Ashe and Keith reached the end of Route 1, and found themselves on the outskirts of Viridian City.


Keith smiled, as he saw the buildings not so far away. "We're here." He looked around. "Huh. No sign of any of our fellow Digi-Trainers."


"So, I guess we wait for them... Let's do something else in the meantime." Ashe grinned, with her hand on her hips.


"Good idea." He pulled out a Pokeball, releasing Growl. "Let's train."


Growl yipped, panting excitedly.


Rush stood on the sidelines, grinning. "Oh, this'll be good."


"Right!" She called out Rose, as her Poochyena was a bit too weakened from the fight before.


"Elia!" She spun gracefully, eyeing her sparring partner.


One round of training later...



Growl and Rose were both panting, exhausted from the training round...


Rush nodded twice. "They look a bit rusty, but they'll be prime fighters in no time!"


"Well, that's alright, we've only just started, after al-Whoa, what's going on?" Keith blinked...


As the two Pokemon gave off a flash of yellow light.


"Um... Can someone explain to me what just happened?"


Rose looked back at her trainer. "Rose... Elia! Rose!"


"They both levelled up!" Rush declared excitedly.


"Really? Man, it's certainly not like a video game..." Keith laughed. Oh, if only he knew...

Growlithe leveled to Level 6. Learned Ember.

Growlithe
HP: 20 -> 21
Power: 7 (+1) = 8
Speed: 5 (+1) = 6
Defense: 4 (+2) = 6
S. Attack: 7 (+1) = 8
S. Defense: 4 (+2) = 6

Roselia leveled to Level 6.

Roselia

Power: 4 (+1) = 5
Speed: 4 (+3) = 7
Defense: 4 (+1) = 5
S. Attack: 8 (+1) = 9
S. Defense: 7 (+1) = 8


Growl suddenly coughed up a small flame, which did not escape Keith's notice.


He flipped through the booklet. "Let's see... Ah, here we go! I think he's learned Ember! Flames from the mouth, even small ones, are awesome!"


"Well, that was good. Let's rest for a while." Ashe suggested.


"Let's find the Pokemon Centre, first, so we can heal up our Pokemon. We can rest there. If Daisuke, Ken and Rika have any sense, they'll go there first before heading off, so we can't miss 'em." Keith replied.

The pair recalled their Pokemon, and headed towards the Pokemon Centre, with Rush following closely behind.http

Booooooooooom

Down in the horizon, over the hills behind the city, they would see a massive explosion. Such an explosion, even far away, attracted many people, and drew their attentions out of the buildings.

[YolkaEd]

Inside the Pokémon Centre, the three would see some familiar faces.



One of them being the town's very own Gym Leader, who just got some Pokémon from the counter. Giving the nurse a nod, he turned around, just in time to notice the two. "Ah, Keith, Ashe! Didn't know you guys were around here."



Also, they would see Yoshi sitting on a bench, as she gave the two a slight nod.



Along with Kenta and his partner, who he held like a plushie.

And at that point, they all noticed the explosion.

@blue@

"...um... you guys wouldn't happen to know who did that?"

[Ninetalesuk]

@kazu@

"Man..." He muttered, sitting on the bench and placing a hand on his head. "Sounds like a bomb going off..."

@clearagumon@

A small, multi-coloured toy Digimon, shrugged. "Well, it's safe to say it isn't you, Kazu..."

@kazu@

"Thanks... I think..." He muttered.

@marcus@

He looked through the door, frowning. "What could it be...?"

@thomas@

He crossed his arms. "We should go over there and check it out..."

[Candescence]

Keith grinned, as he saw the trio in the Pokemon Centre. Keith held up his Pokeball. "Heya, Blue, Yoshi, Kenta, MarineAngemon, Marcus, Thomas, Kazu! Gah, too many names. Guess what. We're trainers, now!"


"Yep, that's right!"


"Daisuke, Ken and Rika are trainers now as well! We've just started our-"

Then explosion happened.

Keith, Ashe and Rush all turned around, bewildered and surprised by the sudden explosion.


"What the hell was that?!" Keith blinked.


Ashe rubbed her temples, groaning. "I hope those three haven't gotten into yet another fight with a powerful mon this early..."

[YolkaEd]

@yoshi@

"I don't think Ken would try that at this stage... Davis and Rika are another story..." Yoshi muttered.

@kenta@

"Man, you're trainers now, too?" Kenta uttered, as he looked at Keith and Ashe in awe. "Man, wish I were that lucky... but I was a bit late in getting out of bed..."

@marineangemon@

"Phuu~!"

@blue@

"Well, nice to see that you're all on your way to becoming full-fledged trainers. What kinda Pokémon do you guys have?" Blue inquired.

[Ninetalesuk]

"You... strange boy... Davis... Ken AND Rika are now Pokemon Trainers?!?!"



"Why?!"



He shrugged. "It's not that a big deal, you two... I'm tempted to raise a few of my own... the trainers did told us raising Pokemon is enjoyable."

@marcusagumon@

"Nice doggy... I won't hurt ya..."

@mightyena@

He growled...

@marcusagumon@

"Calm down, doggy..."

@mightyena@

"<I'm a wolf, you idiot!!>"

@marcus@

"What's going on over there?"

@toyagumon@

"Your Agumon annoying a dog..."

@mightyena@

"<WOLF!!!>"

@marcus@

He shrugged. "So... those guys are Pokemon trainers, huh? What are you planning to do?"

[Candescence]

"Pokemon Trainers? Sounds cool!" Ikuto grinned.


Keith wondered where that voice was coming from, and looked to his side, to the left. Ikuto was right there, as if he was always there in the first place, like a ninja.

Needless to say, Keith nearly had a heart attack, screaming momentarily. "JESUS CHRIST! Don't do that! PLEASE!"


Ikuto laughed sheepishly. "Sorry, force of habit."


"In any case..." She looked at Blue, taking out her two Pokeballs. "I've already got two Pokemon already. We had to get our starters from abandoned Pokemon Prof. Oak has."

She called out her Pokemon...


Both Rose and Poochyena appeared, the latter looking somewhat confused, before Ashe kneeled down to pet him.


"This is Rose, my starter, and the Poochyena I just caught. Haven't given him a nickname yet, though."


"I wasn't so lucky trying to catch that Starly, but..." He called out Growl.


Growl sat up, barking affectionately, as Keith petted him on the head.


"This is my starter, Growl. We're gonna head up north, and start our journey in Kanto. Daisuke and Ken are gonna start in Johto, and Rika... I have no clue."

[YolkaEd]

@blue@

"They're looking pretty healthy... but if you just caught the Poochyena, you'd best go and have him healed up." Blue said, before he began walking out of the Pokémon Centre. "Well, see you around. I've got to visit a friend of mine in Lavender."

@kenta@

"See you around, Blue!"

@marineangemon@

"Phuu~!"

@yoshi@

Nodding, Yoshi waved goodbye to the gym leader. "Say, do you guys know if Rika, Davis and Ken are close-by?" she asked, as she glanced at Keith and Ashe.

[AnT]

BLAAAAAAAM!!!

Another explosion erupted in the same place, but this one burst with a energy blast. Everyone in the city gasped, wondering if it was a battle between Digimon. Folks in Pokearth learned that there are more powerful Digimon than Legendaires, and can wield power like this.

[Ninetalesuk]

@marcus@

"Did you had to ask, Yoshi...?" He muttered.

@thomas@

He facepalmed. "Just what are those guys playing at?!?"

[Candescence]

Ashe nodded to Blue. "I was going to. And seeya!" She looked at Yoshi, and replied, "Actually, they're pretty much right behind us, still on the-"

Then yet another explosion occured.


"Oh, for the love of..." Keith facepalmed as well. "If its their fault, I'm gonna to kill them..."


"Let's hope it isn't, then." Ashe took her Pokemon up to the counter to get them both healed up.

[YolkaEd]

@blue@

Outside, Blue watched the explosion as well. ...well, you don't see that every day... he thought, before he took out a Poké Ball, which let out his Pidgeot. But I don't have time to check up on that now... Then, he climbed on his Pokémon, before they flew east. ...right now... I got to check up on Raticate...

@yoshi@

Yoshi couldn't help but groan once the explosion occurred. "Man..." she muttered.

@kenta@

"Well, on the bright side, I don't think it's gonna happen a third time..."

@marineangemon@

"Phuu..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@clearagumon@

"Well, they always say Third Times a Charm..."

@marcus@@kazu@

They gave Kenta some glares to keep quiet...

@marcusagumon@

"Boss? Does this mean anything?" He asked....

@mightyena@

...because he had his jaws clamped on Agumon's tail...

@marcus@

He sweatdropped. "Yes... it means... Leave me alone..."

@marcusagumon@

"Really? I thought he got annoyed because I called him a doggie and not a wolf..."

@mightyena@

He released Agumon's tail and walked off. Idiot, idiot, idiot... where's my trainer...?

@thomas@

He walked outside, glancing over his shoulder. "I'm going to check it out... the rest of you, stay here... I'll contact you in case if there's any danger... understood?"

[AnT]

@kari@ The glass doors slid open, allowing a familiar girl to step in. What was different about Hikari Kamiya was she was holding a couple of poke-balls. "Hey guys. What's going on? Anyone know what caused that explosion?"

[Ninetalesuk]

"Hey, Kari... I dunno, but according to these two... they've become Pokemon trainers," He said, pointing at Keith and Ashe. "Not only that, but Rika, Davis and Ken have become trainers..."

He pointed in the direction of the explosion. "And they're still there... they must be involved with those weird explosions... Thomas is gonna check it out..."



"Hey, Kari... you became a trainer too?"

[AnT]

@kari@ With a sweet, yet sheepish smile, Kari shrugged. "Pretty much..." Glancing over her shoulder, Where's TK?

[Ninetalesuk]

@tk@

He walked in with Patamon underneath his hat, carrying a couple of Pokeballs as well. "Yeesh... I think I perfer fireworks over that double explosion..."

@kazu@

"TK?!? YOUR a Pokemon trainer too?!?" He blurted out.

@tk@

"Well..." He started.

[YolkaEd]

@kenta@

"Aw, man! Everyone's a Pokémon Trainer these days, aren't they?" Kenta groaned. "If I had only been quicker out of bed..."

@marineangemon@

"Phuu..."

@yoshi@

"Seriously, who keeps letting those explosions happen?"

@junior@

At that point, someone else walked into the centre, carrying some Poké Balls of his own. "Hi, guys!" Junior said with a smile.

@koemon@

"Junior, wait for Koe!" Koemon laughed, as he trotted in after Junior.

@kenta@

"Agh- him, too?!"

@marineangemon@

"Phuu~!"

@junior@

"...what? Did I do something wrong?"

[Candescence]

Keith just STARED. "Good grief, you guys are trainers too?! Dammit, and to think Daisuke and I thought we were the only ones to come up with the idea!"


"Oh, that's AWESOME! So, what Pokemon do you have? Where're you heading from here? A-"


Rush promptly shut her up by covering her mouth. "Whoa, one question at time!"
