Pokemon: A Tale of Life and Death. <RP thead>

[Unto The abyss 79]

Welcome to Kalos, a region like no other, it contains nearly every Pokemon imaginable with other having been seen in the care of travelers from distant lands. Within Kalos, like most other regions is a series of gyms with their individual leaders, 4 elite trainers, and of course a champion. And seeing as many new trainers are about to begin their journeys i think its time for a new tale to unfold. A tale that threatens to break the boundaries of life and death itself. And like every good story, there is always a beginning. This one, starts with a letter.

Chapter I The Gathering

-----------------------------------------

 

 

As the sun came up early in the morning, so did Locke and Kabuto. The boy got ready for the day, he put on his black jeans and grey shirt, then he slid on his light jacket marked with the Unknown markings. After that he put his necklace on. "There, all dressed and ready for the day." He said to his Kabuto. It looked at him.

 

"Kabu" it replied

 

Locke's stomach growled. "Yeah thats right, time for breakfast." He turned and began to head out of his room but stopped as his eyes met the calendar on the wall. This month's picture was a collage of fire type Pokémon. It was June, specifically, June 15th. "Thats right...its my birthday." Locke sighed. "Happy 17th Birthday to me..." He said in an unhappy tone, then he picked his phone up off the counter that was below the calendar and walked into the hallway and down the stairs, but not without helping the crustacean like Pokémon down the steps. Upon reaching the bottom step Locke set Kabuto down and walked to the kitchen. He got a bowl for Kabuto and in it he put some berries before setting it on the ground for the Pokémon. He then made some toast and put jam on it and ate it. While he waited for Kabuto to finish eating he thought about his previous birthdays. "This is my first birthday at home in 6 years...a birthday without Mother or Grandpa. I should stop thinking about it. It'll do me no good to think negatively" Locke said to himself. He the looked at Kabuto. "But this is my 7th Birthday with you here, Kabuto."

 

The Pokémon ceased eating upon hearing its name and looked at its trainer. "Kabu"

 

Locke smiled a bit then looked at the clock. (9:49 am) "The mail will be here soon." He looked back at his Pokémon. "Lets go wait for it, outside." Kabuto seemed pleased by this statement as it began to scuttle towards the front door. Locke followed and opened to door for Kabuto. The two then sat on their porch steps and waited. The sun now over the tree line. The mail would arrive in about 40 minutes and when it did, Locke would find that a package arrived for him. With it. Was a letter, a Pokédex, and 5 Pokéballs, but Locke was not the only person in Kalos to receive a package like this, 5 (to 7) other trainers had also received this package. If not earlier than him.

Shuppet slept within the covers on Maple's bed. The little thing didn't want to get off the covers because of how warm they were. It purred as it snored. Maple was already up preparing some breakfast for Shuppet and himself. He poured some pokefood into Shuppet's plate and settled it on the table. 

 

"Shuppet!"Maple called. "Come eat breakfast! I'm going to get the mail!"Maple said as he walked out of his apartment,wearing nothing more than checkered patterned shorts and a gray tank top. He walked down the stairs and quickly reached the mail boxes where other people were looking for their mail too. He found his box and quickly opened it with his key,picking up the mail and cards. Most of them fan cards directed to his mom. However there was something surprising inside the mail box. A package. Directed to him specifically. "For me?"Maple muttered in surprise. He never received personal mail. Ever. He lightly shook the box to see if he could hear anything. He then proceeded to close the mail box,locking it up as he hurried up back to his apartment. One of his neighbors casually saw him in the hall,and quickly waved and said a 'good morning'. Maple simply responded with his usual attitude by pulling out his middle finger at the neighbor along with the words "Go f*ck yourself".

 

He entered his apartment and closed the door behind him. By then Shuppet was at the table eating its plate. Maple settled down his mom's cards and mail at the basket he had for that and sat at the table while holding the package. "Look Shuppet! It's for me!"Maple said rather excited as he picked up a kitchen knife and cut up the tape that surrounded the box. Shuppet quickly floated over to his excited friend. "I wonder what is is."Maple muttered. You could feel his excitement as he broke away the bubble wrapping from the box and finally managed to open it. He was surprised,to say the least,of what he found inside. A pokedex and five pokeballs. "Wow!"Maple muttered in excitement as he picked up the pokedex. "It's an actual pokedex!"Maple breathed. He pressed the button and the pokedex popped up,analyzing the Shuppet infront of it before speaking.

 

"Shuppet. The Puppet Pokemon. It uses its horn to feed on the dark emotions of sadness and hatred, which make it grow steadily stronger."

 

Maple's eyes seemed to have a special sparkle as he smiled ever so brightly. "This is SO cool! Who sent this?! Maybe they got the address wrong? Either way I'm keeping it~"Maple said as he finally noticed one more thing inside the box: A letter.

[twilight_roxas 326]

Cecil woke up with his best friend Charmander already awake excited for there pokemon journey. They both after Cecil change clothes went downstairs to eat breakfast before heading to the professor's lab to get his pokemon license. He had the know the legend of his ancestry in the Kalos region were the dragoons mostly there leader his ancestor had a mega charizard X during the wars in Kalos. After they finish they left there home, and headed to the professor's lab.

 

(The reason I mention Omanyte is because of twitch plays pokemon.)

[『R』 570]

After a few hours of sleeping from being anticipated, Riku John had woke up with bags in his eyes. His Pidgey was laying right next to him sound asleep. He decided to let it sleep for a little bit because he didn't want to bother it. Riku went downstairs and saw his mom cooking some breakfast as usual. She had made fried aggs with bacon and pancakes. "Mom, I'm going to eat upstairs," Riku said. He had slowly went back upstairs carrying his and his Pidgey's food. He then gently shook the Pidgey and immediately it woke up. "Good Morning!" Riku said with a smile. They had both began eating.

 

Riku decided he should get the mail before he does anything else. When he went to go check the mail, he saw a box with his name on it. "I wonder what this could be?" He opened the box and inside was a pokedex and five pokeballs."Woah! This is awesome!"Riku said with a huge smile on his face. Riku then looked further in the package and noticed the letter. He started reading, and his eyes widened while he got further and further through the letter. He immediately ran inside and told his mom everything. His mom was happy for him, and as soon as they were done talking he had went upstairs to his Pidgey. " Guess what my Ongell! I just got a pokedex and pokeballs," Riku said to his Pidgey. "Pidgey," It replied. As soon as "Ongell" had said that an idea had came to his mind to use the Pokedex on Pidgey, but he had decided to do that later because there is more important matters at hand. "Ongell, you and I are going to be the best adventurers ever, just wait and see!" Riku said. "Ongell" had once again replied saying,"Pidgey." Riku had finished eating his food, and since he was so happy he decided to play on his Wii-U. He mostly played some Mario games, and started to get ready, and changed from his blue pajamas. He was ready to go, but it happened to be to early. Riku was a really early bird. He and his Pidgey would stay up all night and finally fall asleep for a few hours. Riku decided to look in the mirror because he had plenty of time left. He saw all the bags and stress marks on him. "Well, I could do something about my bags..." Riku said to himself. He went back and changed his look.

 

"Ok I'm ready!" Riku said. "Too bad it's still too early," he said with a sort-of-frown. "Wait, since I have a pokedex how about I use it on you Pidgey!" Riku said. "Pidgey!" Pidgey said, nodding a yes. "Okay," Riku said with a smile. He had started using his pokedex, and he learned that Pidgey was also a Normal type. "I guess there still isn't stuff I know about you, but we can still be friends," Riku said. His day was of to a bright start.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Maple picked up the letter,opening it.

 

"It's from the Professor!"Maple squealed. Many people knew about the professor. He has appeared on tv from time to time explaining about pokemon and events involving them in different shows and in the news. Maple muttered as he read the letter to its entirety. "Mutter mutter...journey...mutter mutter...request...mutter mutter...Aquacorde..." Shuppet read the letter along side his pal when suddenly Maple stood up,excitement noticeable in his eyes. "Shuppet! Do you know what this means?!"Maple asked,barely able to contain his excitement. "We have been asked to go on a journey! A pokemon master journey! A-A pokemon capturing and GYM beating journey!"Maple said as he jumped up and down. He had always watched the championships on tv.

 

The interviews with trainers and their pokemon. Maple envied those who were able to travel. His mother had offered him the chance to go along with her and compete in contests. But that would mean that she would force him into contests only and have him follow her footsteps. Now he would be able to follow his own path...the path of pokemon master as every small child in this world usually dreams of. "I have to get ready!"Maple said as he ran upstairs. Shuppet followed close behind as he watched Maple take out a backpack and filling it up with different equipment. A tent,his dad's fishing rod,a sleeping bag,some canned food,a lighter,an umbrella,poke food for Shuppet as well. He glanced at the costume his mother had sent him incase he wanted to join her in the coordination battles.

 

He packed that as well. He got dressed as he wore a white t-shirt,his black long sleeved jacket with its high neck,dark jeans and some sneakers. Around his waist he got a small hip bag where he got his pokeballs and his pokedex in it. "I think I'm ready,are you ready?!"Maple asked. Shuppet cheered with him,signifying he was ready too. Maple glanced down at the letter and practically froze when he reread it. He had missed something of it. He had to meet up with these group of trainers. "(Ugh,Socialization.)"Maple thought. But it occurred to him that if he wasn't going to be the only one in this journey,then he might as well check out the competition. He hated to lose after all. "We can check them out and maybe catch some pokemon that can beat theirs. Even though you alone can scare the living sh*t out of all of them,Shuppet!"Maple bragged. Shuppet cheered.

 

Maple smiled as he closed his backpack and got it on his back. "We better start heading out then. We don't know when the others are going to get here. If we're going to be the best we have to know what kind of competition we're having,right?" Shuppet agreed once more. Maple made sure he had turned off all electronics and kitchen equipment before locking up the apartment. It'd be a while for him to return here. "Maybe on the way I'll be able to find dad..." Shuppet rubbed against his cheek,encouraging the idea. Maple smiled. "Right." He locked up the door and got the keys away in a safe place. He moved the potted plant besides the door and picked up one of his favorite toys: his skateboard. All yellow with red wheels. He might as well bring it along. He picked up Shuppet and got him on the crook of his neck. He threw the skateboard down and quickly jumped on it,riding down the hallway. He jumped up,the skateboard landing on the stairway rails,riding down on them,only to then jump and land it smoothly on the concrete. With a sharp turn Maple rode the skateboard out to the middle of Aquacorde.

[Unto The abyss 79]

Locke received the package and pulled it open with his finger nails. The first thing he picked up was the letter. "Another journey......and to start on my birthday...how pleasant." Locke then went upstairs and into his room, he went under his bed and grabbed a duffle bag, then he began to pack about 4 sets of clothes. Next was his sketch book and pencils, followed by the pokedex and pokeballs. He put his camera in the bag too. Next was a map, a compass, a canteen, and his wallet. He looked around his room for anything else he might need. His eyes detected nothing. So he grabbed the sleeping bag from his closet and strapped it to the duffle bag. Then he headed downstairs and packed food for Kabuto and himself. Then he packed a can opener. "That should be everything" he said before he saw a box on the counter, a birthday present addressed to him from his father. He walked towards it to open it, reading the letter first

 

 

------

Dear Locke,

 

I wish you a happy birthday and hope that your journey goes well. I saw you packing and wanted to leave you with something. Just remember.....its usually better to not go alone.

 

Love,

Dad.

-----------

 

 

Locke looked slightly irritated but still he opened the present. Inside was a beautiful perfect oval shaped piece of Amber with a small helix fossil inside of it. A rare find that was absolutely real. He picked it up to find it had been put on a chain for him to wear. Locke smiled as he held the special artifact of the past. "So many stories could be told about this." He said smiling. He put it on and then looked at Kabuto. "Lets head off" he told the pokemon. Then the two started off towards Aquacorde Town bags fully packed.

[『R』 570]

Halfway falling asleep, Riku woke back up and saw his Pidgey right next to him. "Didn't we have to go somewhere today?" Riku asked. Then he looked at the box and immediately remembered where he had to go. "Oh we have to go to Aquacorde town!" Riku said. "Pidgey," his Pidgey replied. "Okay we should be on..." Riku said and noticed there was drool on his shirt. "UGH," Riku yelled. He got changed once again again. Since red was one of his favorite colors he wore a red pants, a red shirt, a red bag for pokeballs (which was a gift from his mother), red shoes, and a red hat. "I feel like I'm ready," Riku said. "Let's go Pidgey," he said.

 

When both of them went downstairs he decided to sit on the couch, because he still had 10 minutes and using his roller skates would only takehim a few minutes to get there. He had then thought about all his memories from both the Unova region and the Kalos region. He also thought about how he had met his Pidgey. He started to stare down at his Pidgey, and he glanced all around his Kalos home. His dad was on another couch watching the news. He talked to his dad about everything, and in return his dad gave him 20 pokedollars. "Thankyou so much," Riku said. His mom and dad were both very happy for him. He will miss his dad and his mom, but another journey had to take place.

 

"Good morning and good bye everyone," Riku said with a smile and his eyes watering up. He had bag on his back being his luggage, and his bag for pokeballs wrapped around his neck. He  closed the door and went outside. He stared at everything. He was surely going to miss this place. He had started his way skating to Aquacorde Town. It actually took longer than he thought beause his bag was very large, and heavy.

[Unto The abyss 79]

As Locke coniued his walk towards Aquacorde Town, he saw one of his neighbors, Riku, leaving his house with what appeared to be a heavy bag. Locke thought about how he didnt really know Riku, or any of the other people in Vainiville, that well. He then just shrugged it off and ignored him. "He will be fine. Its just a bag, it cant hurt him." He said to himself as Kabuto walked beside him.

[twilight_roxas 326]

Cecil made it to the lab with Charmander excited for there adventure. They enter the lab to meet Professor Sycamore to get his pokemon trainer license via pokedex, and pokeballs. He was only pull over by a cop once on the way there due to having a Charmander luckily Cecil explain everything earlier.

[『R』 570]

Riku had noticed Locke. "Oh that's a cool pokemon," He thought. He turned around and looked at Locke and his pokemon. He had seen the chain Locke was wearing and glared at it for some time. "Pidgey!" Pidgey said. "I thought so too!" Riku John said as if he knew what Pidgey was saying. He had seen that chain somewhere before, as if he had known Locke. "We will all get to know each other soon," Riku said.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Maple rode his skateboard as he avoided the people that got in his way by mere inches. Not that it worried him. If they got in his way he'd simply bring them down! He would've decided to meet the people up in the fountain but it occurred to him that it would be to similar of a situation considering people already went there daily to hang out with friends and pokemon. So instead he decided that he would sit down on a table infront of the cafe district of the place,right by the flight of stairs that led to the middle of the town. If anyone he didn't recognize happened to walk by he would be able to stop them and question them.

 

Am I brilliant or what?"Maple asked to himself. Shuppet agreed regardless of whatever Maple expected. He stopped infront of a big table and picked up his skateboard,resting it against the table. He would meet them here. He would stop them and analyze his competition. No way in Arceus would he let anyone beat him and his shuppet at becoming the ultimate pokemon masters. He pulled up a chair and spun it,sitting on it backwards as he rested his head on the chair's back,glancing around and waiting patiently for any suspicious looking people to pass by. He wasn't afraid of questioning them. He or she could be ten times bigger than Maple and he would still try to get into a fight,much to Shuppet's dismay. "You'll see Shuppet. By the time we come back to this town within a year or more,we will be the strongest team ever! We will be the champions! People will bow down to us once we return. All of these loser kids in this town will be begging for my friendship,and all the girls begging for my attention!"Maple said rather dramatically as he smiled to himself,Shuppet cheering him on. He could picture himself and shuppet wearing regal robes and a crown,such of those that royalty wear. Standing by the fountain as everyone cheers for them mesmorized. By the look of their daydreaming faces,both shuppet and Maple were thinking the same thing.

For the daydream imagine Maple replacing Yato in these pictures...I would photoshop the pictures for a more precise effect but I'm too lazy.

"UGH, I have to keep on skating," Riku said. "Oh yes, there's a chair over there and some person, but they probably won't mind me sitting down there," Riku said to himself. He tried his best to skate to the chair, but took small breaks because of his large bag. "YES, I made it," Riku said as he was a few inches from the chair. He glanced at the person on the other chair, and their shuppet. He had sat in the chair reluctantly and stared at the person across for one second. "Um, hi, my name is Riku, and I was choosen to go on a adventure with some other people," Riku said. "I was sent by Professor Sycamore," he continued.

[Lady Aleister 1,677]

Dear Rin Kozakura, 
You have been chosen as one of 5 (to 7) people to take a journey through the beautiful region of Kalos. This is an optional request and you have every right to say no but thats your decision. All you have to do is just mail back the objects contained in this box. One item is a pokedex, the other is a box with 5 empty pokeballs. If you do decide to accept this request please pack up and head to Aquacorde Town to meet the other 5 (to 7) people who will also be on this journey. After you are done with that do meet me in Lumiose City. 

Sincerely,
Professor Augustine Sycamore 

 

Rin read this letter in complete silence, her Treecko hopping up on her shoulder and looking down at the letter.

"Well....this is a change of events." she said seriously.

Her Treecko nodded, Rin folding the letter up. 

"Should we do it? I mean we are already in Unova and we cant stay in this hotel forever." she said, looking at the room she was in. 

"Treecko!!" her pokemon cried with joy. 

"We will then!" Rin said with a smile, starting to grab her bag.

"You can help me pack, right?" she asked.

Treecko nodded, jumping off of Rin's shoulder and running towards her clothes and other things. Treecko and Rin quickly managed to grab basically everything they have, Rin pulled off her hood, and Treecko hopped onto her head.

"Lets do this!" she said with a smile. 

The two checked out of the hotel room, and were soon running towards Aquacorde City, a map in hand. 

[Stardustblade358 806]

Maple was brought back to the real world by the voice of a stranger. He turned to notice the young man sitting on a chair besides him. Maple seriously had to pay more attentions of his sorroundings instead of daydreaming things. He glanced the boy up and down slightly as he heard him speak.

 

"On an adventure...by the professor?!"Maple asked in surprise as he sat up straight. He didn't expect to meet the other people this quickly. He glanced at the young boy once again,glancing him up and down. He seemed around the same age as him. He wore this awesome looking red outfit with these cool looking shades on his hat. "(This is my competition?)"Maple thought. He had to analyze before talking to the kid,otherwise he feared that he might end up screwing it up. He scoffed and glanced away for a second before narrowing his eyes back to the boy by the name Riku. As nice as he seemed,Maple could not trust humans at the first meet. He has seen what some people can do to pokemon and to other human beings. He wasn't going to become friends with anyone so easily,which only made him a very difficult person to hang out with or make friends with. "You're my competition? I truthfully thought I'd have at least a challenge,not a daycare."Maple hissed with his arrogant voice. Regardless he smiled with a smirk and pointed at himself. "I am Maple Rocecrant,only the best person here in the entire Aquacorde town. This here is my partner Shuppet. He and I are going to become the champions and rule the world!"Maple said as Shuppet squeaked in agreement and floated on his master's shoulder. As silly as those words sounded,Maple spoke them so sincere that it was hard to tell if he was joking around or being serious about what he said. Maple rested against the chair in an elegant matter. "I usually don't talk to people but I came to check the competition. Not good of being a pokemon master if you don't know who else is fighting for the favor of the professor!"Maple smiled. Ah yesh,the famous professor. If he could get on his good side,Maple thought,he could learn so much about pokemon. Shuppet,as mischevious as he was however,seemed curious of the new comer and floated around Riku,as if searching for something. Maple glanced at his Shuppet. Pokemon were the only living beings he tolerated. "So,do you have a pokemon with you?"

[『R』 570]

"Oh yeah," Riku said. "I have a Pidgey!" He exclaimed. He searched around ad saw his Pidgey under the table. "Come on up Pidgey," Riku said in a quiet tone. His Pidgey then flew up on his shoulder. "This is my Pidgey," Riku said. His Pidgey started chirping alot noticing the Shuppet flying around. "You have a very cool pokemon!" Riku said with a smile. He was trying to be nice to him. Riku had also wanted a friends from the Kalos region other than his Pidgey. He began thinking about who else had been sent by the professor, and that had reminded him about what Maple said. "So you think I'm a epic pokemon trainer?!" Riku said with sparkling eyes.

[Unto The abyss 79]

"I dont know who you are or how good you are as a trainer. In otherwords, no i dont thunk you are an epic trainer, yet at the same time i dong think you are a bad trainer as i have yet to know you." Said Locke as he came up from behind Riku. He tossed his bad onto a chair and sat net to it. Kabuto scuttled up and got on a chair of its own. "My name is Locke... Locke Devaugre. So then lets get formalities out of the way for the two of you, as i have now told you my name." Locke looked serious, cause he was. No matter what Locked prefered to know who he was addressing. At all times. His eyes were pale and cold and yet still rather warm and kind. His expression was ment for buissness.

[『R』 570]

"Heyo, my name is Riku John, nice to meet you," Riku said with a huge smile. "This is my pokemon Pidgey," I said. Riku had once again glanced at the bracelet Locke was holding. While staring at it he thought about how "Locke's" name had some iron with the word "bracelet." "That bracelet looks awesome, where did you get it?" Riku asked with a smile.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Maple smirked at Riku's compliment about his pokemon.

 

"I know right! Shuppet is the coolest pokemon ever!"Maple insisted. His expression faded as Riku asked about if he thought that he was an epic trainer. "Um..." Maple didn't know what to say. Usually people didn't react this nicely to him. He had to think about it but he quickly thought of an answer. "Epic? Ha!"Maple scoffed. "You only have a pidgey,and you've just started your adventure? Surely any other trainer can beat you."Maple said sincerely,slightly forgetting that he was a newbie himself. He then just noticed Locke walk by and sitting down,introducing himself after giving Riku his honest opinion to the question. Maple's eyes narrowed at the stranger. So this was the other competition. Maple glanced up at him,thinking carefully on what to say. Maple was exactly five feet tall. Compared to Locke who was a foot taller than him he could easily get beaten down if he were to get in a fight. Not that he would make it easier either. Maple glanced at Locke up and down before speaking. "I'm Maple."Maple said as Shuppet started to float around Locke,exploring and learning about the new trainer. "You look like such a serious man,Locke,ever thought of relaxing?"Maple smirked a bit. Oh dear,there he went again with his smart@$$ comments. He listened to Riku mentioned about the bracelet,and Maple's eyes quickly landed on such bracelet. It was easily the strangest bracelet that Maple had ever seen. It seemed almost acient yet it gave off this exotic feeling of it. "That's the weirdest piece of jewelry I have ever seen."Maple said,thinking out loud. He glanced over to the chair and his eyes widened as his eyes landed on Kabuto. Needless to say it was the first time Maple had ever seen one. "Whoa! What pokemon is that?!"Maple asked as he stood up. He didn't even bothered to wait for an answer as he knelt down infront of where Kabuto sat. As always pokemon fascinated him much more than human beings did,and shuppet was fascinated by humans more than other pokemon. Maple took out his pokedex and the system quickly identified the pokemon infront of it.

 

"Kabuto. The Shellfish pokemon. Kabuto is a Pokémon that has been regenerated from a fossil,usually found in beaches and the bottom of the sea. However, in extremely rare cases, living examples have been discovered. The Pokémon has not changed at all for 300 million years."

[『R』 570]

"I hadn't thought of using the pokedex, but thank you Maple," Riku said. "By the way my Pidgey is strong, so I might not loose after all," Riku had spoken again. He taken his eyes of of Maple. he then realized he was only a few inches taller. "Score one," Riku said to himself. He then quickly turned back to Locke and looked at his pokemon. "So that's a Kabuto," he thought. He had thought everyone had cooler pokemon than his, but he realized that his Pidgey and his friendship was inseparable. He thought that no other pair had more friendship then his. "Hey Maple, one day I'm going to be greater than any trainer," Riku said.

[Unto The abyss 79]

(It was a necklace but bracelet works fine)

 

 

"Its a helix fossil trapped in amber. One of the smallest helix fossils ive seen to be honest." Locke repied as he looked at the bracelet. Then he watched Maple record Kabuto in his Pokedex. "So your the two of you also have pokedex." His eyes seemed to shift from their blankness as they began to scan over the two trainers. Then the pokemon. "Pidgey the Tiny Bird pokemon. Normal Flying and Shuppet the puppet Pokemon, pure ghost type." He said outloud without touching the pokedex. "Interesting. So Riku, what is your goal for this journey?"

[『R』 570]

(OH sorry. I had read it as bracelet.)

 

 

"My goal, hm," Riku said. He thought about what is "goal" actually was. "I want to catch all of the fairy and dark types, and make them my best friends," Riku said. He again had a smile on his face, this time with a more happy expression. He had actually began thinking about his goal. "Will I actually be able to catch all the Fairy and Dark types in this region?" he thought. He looked at his Pidgey, and then put on a determined face. He knew that if he tried hard enough he could catch them all.

 

(Gotta Catch 'em all! )

 

"What are yours Locke and Maple?" Riku asked.

[Unto The abyss 79]

Locke looked at Kabuto "i would like to calmly travel through the region beating gyms and exploring ruins. Although i hadnt thought about it before but currently i would really like to make it to Ambrite Town so i could go digging for fossils to revive." He said before he took out his sketch book and began writing down thenames of all the possible fossil pokemon he could meet. Then he looked up at Riku. "So you could say my goal is to obtain all of these pokemon and more."

"That's awesome!" Riku said. He thought about all the pokemon he could remembered from the list Locke said, which was a few. "Hey, maybe sometimes we could go fossil digging together, you, me, and Maple-san," Riku said. Riku had now been exposed to fossil digging and wanted to that very very much. He couldn't wait until everyone had come. " I would think there is more people coming here," Riku said. "I just have that feeling." Riku began thinking about how the other pokemon trainers would act and how they would think of him. "But no one's going to bring me down, because I'm going to continue being me!" Riku thought.

Locke then looked at Maple "and the goal you and shuppet share?" He said calmly as he was Checking the list carefully.

Maple was petting the Kabuto gently,as he had never seen such unique pokemon before. Shuppet was equally intrigued as he hadn't seen one before either. Maple looked up and turned to Riku and Locke as Locke asked the ultimate question: What was his goal? "(What is my goal?)"Maple thought. He had been so pumped he had almost forgotten to set a goal to himself,solely focused on making sure that no one looked down upon him or his shuppet. He stood up and got his hands in his pocket,thinking about it for a good while before he was to answer such question,he wanted to make sure he said the right words,he wanted to impress by everything he spoke as much as he could. "Our goal is..."Maple muttered. He glanced over at Shuppet who floated over his shoulder. He rubbed the Pokemon's head gently and then gave a slight smirk. "Our goal is to become the ultimate pokemon champion of the Kalos region of course!"Maple said as he stroke a pose along with Shuppet,who squeaked in agreement as he posed alongside his master and best friend. "Whatever path we take,of truth,chaos,heaven,hell,safe or filled with sin,Shuppet and I will leave this town as newbies and return as full fleshed masters and well known across the region! By the time we return we will have made great friends all part of our to be amazing championship team! By then Shuppet would've evolved to a Banette,isn't that right Shuppet?"Maple asked. Shuppet squeaked once more as he rubbed against Maple's face. "We'll become so famous and awesome,not even mom will be able to compare to us!"Maple smiled,thinking of his mother and how he could beat her in a pokemon battle made him smile ever so much. He wanted to teach her that coordination wasn't just something that you force a child to do. "And dad-!"Maple said but he suddenly stopped. "...and dad..."He muttered again,trying to come up with a sentence for that word. Dad. "...and maybe I'll become so strong I can find dad and bring him home...that's our goal."Maple said as he sat back down in his chair. His father loved him very much. Out of his father and mother he was the one that was always there for him when he desperetly needed him. He was there for all his birthdays and really big events. Mentioning him left Maple realizing how much he actually missed him. Shuppet,even as he fed off the negative feelings from Maple,could not help but to pout at his master's painful expression,quickly rubbing up against his chin to cheer him up.
