A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with the next installment of this series. I wanted to get to this sooner, but stuff kept coming up. I am actually doing it now instead of November. This will cover all three Generation III games, but will be mostly based off Emerald. That will include Pokemon, items and both Team Aqua and Team Magma.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
It was a beautiful morning in Littleroot Town. People where going about their business as usual in the small town. Suddenly, a moving truck moved through the town. It stopped at a small house with a for sale sign in the yard. The sign had a sold sticker over it. A woman exited the truck and opened the back where her son was dazed.
"Oh Brendan, are you okay?" asked his mother.
"Yeah." answered Brendan.
The boy climbed out of the back of the truck.
"Oh Brendan honey, we're home." said Brendan's mother.
"Home." repeated Brendan, in a hushed tone.
"It must be tiring riding with our things in the trunk." said Brendan's mother.
"What could I ride up front?" asked Brendan mumbled.
"Well this is Littleroot Town." noted Brendan's mother, "What do you think?"
"It's sure small." mused Brendan surprised.
"This is our new home! It had a quaint feel, but it seems like an easy place to live, don't ya think?" continued Brendan's mother.
"Yeah." agreed Brendan.
"And you get your own room." noted Brendan's mother.
"Finally!" declared Brendan excitedly.
"Brendan, let's go inside." said Brendan's mother.
The two went inside their new home.
"See Brendan, isn't it nice in here too?" asked Brendan's mother.
Brendan looked around the room seeing a Vigoroth carrying the dinning room table over its head.
"The mover's Pokemon do all the work of moving us and and cleaning up after." said Brendan's mother.
Brenden watched the Vigoroth put the table in place.
"This is so convenient!" cooed Brenden's mother.
Brendan spotted another Vigoroth moving a box into another room.
"Brendan, your room is upstairs. Why don'y you go check it out." suggested Brendan's mother.
Without a moment's hesitation, Brendan took his mother up on the offer. His bed was in place as was his TV and game system. He found a gift at his computer.
"A Potion. Must be from dad." thought Brendan.
Brendan took the Potion as his mother knocked on the door.
"Brendan, how do you like your new room?" asked Brendan's mother.
"It's nice." answered Brendan.
"Good. Everything's put away neatly!" exclaimed Brendan's mother joyously.
Brendan's mother went back downstairs. Brendan went down a little later and aw his mother watching TV.
"Oh Brendan! Brendan! Look, it's Petalburg Gym! Maybe Dad will be on!" called Brendan's mother.
Brendan rushed over to the TV.
("We brought you this report from in front of Petalburg Gym.") said the reporter.
"Oh it's over. I think Dad was on, but we missed him too. Too bad." sighed Brendan's mom.
Brendan's mother suddenly remembered something.
"Oh yes. One of Dad's friends lives in town. Professor Birch is his name. He lives right next door, so you should go over and introduce yourself." said Brendan's mother.
Brendan nodded and left. Heading outside, Brendan headed next door to Professor Birch's home. He entered, but was stopped by a woman.
"Hello, and you are?" asked the women suspicious.
"I'm Branden. My family just moved here." answered Brendan nervously.
"Oh, you're Brendan our new next door neighbor. Hi." said Mrs. Birch.
"Yup." confirmed Brendan.
"We have a daughter about the same age as you. Our daughter was excited about making a new friend. Our daughter is upstairs, I think." explained Mrs. Birch.
Brendan went upstairs and found her room, but nobody was there. He entered as was about to leave when she appeared.
"Huh? Who...who are you?" asked the girl confused.
"I'm Brendan. My family just moved in." answered Brendan defensively.
"Oh, so your Branden. Your move was today. I'm May, nice to meet you." said the girl.
"Likewise." replied Brendan relieved.
"I have this dream about becoming friends with Pokemon from all over the world. I heard about you Brendan from my dad Professor Birch. I was hoping you would be nice Brendan and we could be friends." admitted May.
May suddenly shook her head.
"Oh, this is sill isn't it? We've just met." said May embarrassed.
May suddenly slapped her forehead with her hand.
"Oh! I forgot! I was supposed to go help Dad catch some wild Pokemon! Branden, I'll catch you later!" exclaimed May.
Brendan left and headed to Professor Birch's lab. He didn't find Professor Birch, but he did find an assistant.
"Excuse me, do you know where Professor Birch is?" asked Brendan.
"Huh? Professor Birch? The Professor's away on fieldwork. Ergo, he isn't here." answered the assistant.
"Oh man." sighed Brendan.
"Oh, let me explain what fieldwork. It is to study things in the natural environment, liked fields and mountains, instead of, the laboratory. The Professor isn't one for doing desk work. He's the type to go outside and study things rather than read about it." explained the assistant.
"Then that's where I'll look!" declared Brendan.
Brendan left and headed to the entrance to town, only to see a little girl.
"There are scary Pokemon outside! I can hear their cries!" declared the girl.
"It's okay." said Brendan reassuring.
"I want to go see what's going on, but I don't have any Pokemon. Can you go see what's happening for me?" requested the girl.
Brendan went out and began looking for Professor Birch and calling his name to no avail.
"Help me!" cried a voice.
Brendan followed the sound of the voice and saw a man being chased by a Poochyena.
"Hello! you over there! Please! Help!" exclaimed Brendan
"What can I do?" asked Brendan.
"In my bag! There's a Poke Ball!" called Professor Birch.
Brendan found a trio of Poke Balls in the bag.
"Which one do I use?" asked Brendan to himself.
Brendan looked over and saw the Poochyena closing in.
"Here goes nothing." said Brendan.
Brendan grabbed a Poke Ball.
"Go!" cried Brendan.
Brendan threw the Poke Ball releasing a green Pokemon.
"Use Pound!" ordered Brendan.
Treecko used Pound and hit. Poochyena used Tackle and hit.
"Use Pound again!" ordered Brendan.
Treecko obeyed and hit with Pound. Poochyena survived and hit with Tackle again.
"Use Pound one last time!" ordered Brendan.
Treecko hit with Pound and Poochyena fainted.
"I was in the tall grass studying Pokemon when I was jumped. You saved me. Thanks a lot." said Professor Birch.
"No problem." replied Brendan humbly.
"Oh, you're Brendan.
"Hi, oh you're Brendan!" exclaimed Professor Birch.
This cry seemed to upset nearby Pokemon.
"This isn't the place to chat, so come by my Pokemon lab later, okay?" said Professor Birch uneasy.
"Sure." agreed Brendan.
The two left and Brendan told the little girl everything was fine. Brendan then met Professor Birch at his lab.
"So, Brendan. I've heard a lot about you from your father. I've heard you don't have your own Pokemon yet." began Professor Birch.
The Professor chuckled.
"But the way you battled earlier, you pulled it off with aplomb! I guess you have your father's blood in your veins after all!" declared Professor Birch jubilant.
"He is my father." said Brendan confused.
"Oh, yes. As thanks for helping me, I'd like you to have the Pokemon you used earlier." said Professor Birch.
Professor Birch's handed Brendan the Poke Ball with Treecko in it.
"Thanks." said Brendan happily.
Brendan accepted the gift.
"If you work at Pokemon and gain experience, I think you'll make a darn good trainer." said Professor Birch.
"Thanks." said Brendan.
"My kid, May is out on Route 103 studying Pokemon. It might not be bad to see May. What do you think?" proposed Professor Birch.
"Sure." answered Brendan.
"Great! May should be happy too. Go get May to teach you what it's like to be a trainer." said Professor Birch.
Brendan agreed and departed from the lab. He went to the Birch residence, but was told she wasn't there. He went went north on Route 101 and reached Oldale Town. Brendan then went north onto Route 103. He finally found May looking at tall grass with a pencil and paper.
"Let's see, the Pokemon on Route 103 include..." began May.
May noticed someone coming up on her.
"Oh, hi Brendan!" called May.
May noticed the Poke Ball on his hip.
"Oh, I see my gave you a Pokemon as a gift." mused May.
"Yup." confirmed Brendan.
"Since we're here, let's have a quick battle!" declared May excitedly.
"Sure." agreed Brendan.
"I'll give you a taste of what being a Trainer is like." promised May.
PKMN Trainer May would like to battle!
"Go Treecko!" cried Brendan, releasing his Pokemon.
"Go Torchic!" cried May, releasing her Pokemon.
Both trainers released their Pokemon.
"Use Pound!" ordered Brendan.
"Use Growl!" ordered May.
Both Pokemon obeyed. Treecko hit with Pound while Torchic used Growl.
"Use Pound!" ordered Brendan.
"Use Peck!" ordered May.
Both of the Pokemon obeyed. Treeck hit with Pound, but it seemed to do less damage. Torchic then hit with Peck.
"Use Pound!" ordered Brendan.
"Use Peck!" ordered May.
Both of the Pokemon obeyed. Treecko hit with Pound, but again it didn't do as much as Brendan thought. Torchic then hit with Peck.
"What's the deal?" asked Brendan to himself.
Brendan thought for a moment then recalled Growl lowers attack.
"Use Leer!" ordered Brendan.
"Use Peck!" ordered May.
Both of the Pokemon obeyed. Treecko used Leer, but was hit with another Peck.
"Use Pound!" ordered Brendan.
Treecko obeyed and hit with Pound. This caused Torchic to faint giving Brendan and Treecko their first victory. As a result, Treecko grew to Level 6 and learned Absorb.
"Wow! That's great! Brendan, you're pretty good!" declared May.
Brendan thanked her as the recalled their Pokemon.
"I think I know why my dad has an eye out for you now. I mean, you just got that Pokemon, but it already likes you. You might be able to befriend any kind of Pokemon easily." said May.
"Thanks." replied Brendan.
"Well, it's time to head back to the Lab." noted May.
May ran back to her father's lab and Brendan followed. Brendan went back to the lab where Professor Birch was. The professor was with his daughter.
"Oh, hi Brendan! I heard you beat May on your first try. That's excellent!" declared Professor Birch.
May let out an annoyed grunt.
"May's been helping with my research for a long time. May has an extensive history as a trainer." noted Professor Birch.
May felt better after her father's praises.
"Here, Brendan, I ordered this for my research, but I think you should have this Pokedex." said Professor Birch.
Professor birch handed Brendan the Pokedex.
"Thank you." replied Brendan amazed.
"The Pokedex is a high - tech tool that automatically makes a record of any Pokemon you met or catch. My kid, May, goes everywhere with it. Whenever my kid catches a rare Pokemon and records it's data in the Pokedex, why, May looks for me while I'm out doing research and shows me." explained Professor Birch.
"Oh wow, Brendan! You got a Pokedex too! That's great! Just like me!" declared May.
"Guess so." shrugged Brendan.
"I've got something for you, too!: exclaimed May.
May handed Poke Balls to Brendan.
"It's fun if you catch a lot of Pokemon! I'm going all over the place because I want different Pokemon. If I find any cute Pokemon, I'll catch them with my Poke Balls!" explained May.
"Time from my journey to begin." said Brendan.
A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. I know this had one battle against a wild Pokemon and one against a trainer, but the early part deals with a lot of exposition. Next time, Brendan begins his adventure. Please review.
