Now the fireworks begin. Let it be known that I already have this story typed up to about chapter 10 right now, and I hope to stay ahead of my uploading speed. It will be difficult with College, Jobs, and my obsession for gaming (Got an Xbox and playing MGS2 Substance and Silent Hill 2, yipee!). But I'm up for the challenge. Here we GOOOO!

Finally stopping his long-lasting sprint, Takuya slapped his left hand onto the rocky mini-mountain beside him. It took some time to catch his breath, but it didn't mean his attention was off. “Jupiter, Eon! Come -heave- on out!” With his right hand, he grabbed a pair of pokeballs that he stored on the front of his belt. Their large size made it difficult to hold both in his hand, but he tossed the both up. Almost simultaneously, they discharged a beam of white energy out of them, re-shaping back into the forms of the quadruped pokemon.
“Welcome back guys. Sorry about that hold-up.” Taking one last deep breath, he continued to address his 'team'. “You know how the police get edgy when they see pokemon out of their balls, regardless of one's background. He bent down, running his hand through the spiky and thick white mane of the Jolteon, sparks flying up as he did so. The Eevee jumped forward, rubbing against the teenager's leg as it re-acquainted itself with the familiar face.
“Jolt!”
“Danm my inability to converse with these creatures.” Takuya reached into his jean jacket and pulled out a camera. While it powered up, the human stood back up, aiming his camera at the large stone mound. “Digglet Cave. If this is going to be a capable team, we need to be able to overcome our weaknesses before we take advantage of our strengths.” He looked toward the cave that was slightly off-center in the unnatural mountain. “Pewter City is often the starting gym for many trainers. While I myself would rather have started in my own home town, neither of you are used to fighting and we need to learn how to get around your weaknesses to rock and ground types.” He looked back at his two Pokemon, the unevolved one starring intently while the electric type scratched an itch behind his left ear. “That is why we're heading through here first. Not only is this gave a quick jump to Pewter city, it might get you used to battling.”
The entrance to the cave was a bit shorter on the whole then Takuya's normal body height. As such was the case, he had to bend down a little bit to get in. “Let's go!” Motioning his hand behind him, Jupiter and Eon quickly followed suit.
The interior of the cave was dark, but this did not become a blinding issue as the trio proceeded farther into the cave. This was aided by several assorted holes poked in the ceiling far above. These let light filter in through the ceiling, allowing some visibility within. Maybe to farther the advantage that the younger leader had, Jolteon's bright yellow and white fur occasionally sparked from it's naturally unstable electron flow. Between the leader and the evolved creature was the young Eevee, her eyes wildly swaying back and forth between the various rocky walls and the uneasy noises coming all around. It's eyes gazed upward, just in time to see a darker-then-normal shadow descend from above toward it.
Several rocks fell around the party's middle member. Takuya and Jupiter both sprang back, the electric type's fur bristling with electric charges at it readied for a potential battle. Its nose flared, trying to see if any definite enemies could be smelled out. The human's reaction was plainly much different, his though going straight to his safety of the small pokemon. “Eon! Eon!”
“Vee!” He breathed a sight of relief, glad to see that nothing had injured the young creature. However, Jolteon's back intensified into a colorful electric aura. It caught the notice of the trainer, who posed a question with concern. “Jupiter, what is it!?”
The ground shook a little bit, and not far away from Eon the earth raised, exposing a roundish head. “Dig...lette?”
Eon stumbled back a bit, while the Jolteon jumped into the air to prepare an attack, seeing the ground-type as an offender trying to attack it's illegitimate 'sibling'. “Jupiter, NO!” Jupiter landed on the ground, skidding to the side as the earthen pokemon observed the party. “Jupiter, let Eon fight this battle. She'll need to learn at some time.”
His focused switched to his startled female. “Eon, Tail-Whip!” The brown-furred creature stumbled a bit, unfamiliar with such a situation, feeling expectant pressure from it's owner and it's 'sibling'. Regardless, it did carry out the attack, rushing toward the half-burrowed creature and striking it in the side of the head with it's bushy tail.
The semi-submerged opponent wasn't given the option of being knocked back, it's lower body kept in place by it's placement within the ground. In retaliation, the cave's native growled, trying to intimidate the guided fighter. “Don't let it mess with you Eon! Tackle it!” The smaller Pokemon rushed it's opponent, tackling it in the front of the head, knocking it's head a bit higher out of the hole it was in. With a move occurring at such a close range, the Digglet hadn't a chance to dodge, and it was rendered unconscious by the Normal-type.
“Vee...?” After not being intimidated or attacked again afterwards, the smaller creature crept up to the defeated opponent, apprehensively smelling it in confusion. Takuya walked forward to it, crouching down and putting his thumb and left index finger on it's head. “It's fine. The bump on the head won't do any major damage.”
The earth then subsided a few feet away, and a pair of separate digletts 'spawned' from beneath the ground, rather it was due to the noise of the combat or to back up their fallen compatriot didn't matter. Both appeared to be ready to fight. Aggressively, the yellow and white quadruped called into the sky, bolts of electricity spraying from it's back and smashing into the two opponents, forming splits in the ground all the while.
“Jolteon, Sand Attack! Thundershock won't be effective enough!” Indeed, the result had caused minimal to no damage to the earthen pokemon. The creature listened in agreement, charging forward toward the opponent before suddenly stopping mere inches away from it's foes, kicking up a shower of dust onto the enemy, blinding them. In retaliation, the closest one did the same technique, albeit blindly, shoving dirt and sand into Jolteon's face. The second one tunneled underground, appearing beneath Jupiter and trying to scratch his rear legs.
The quadreped didn't take very nicely to this. He whipped around, tackling this opponent head on while leaving his rear now open for the other one. “Tail-whip the one behind you!” While technically it was more of a kick to the face as he didn't have much of a tail as much as he had a 'small backbone extension' with a spiky display of yellow fur above his rear legs. Regardless, it did the job, keeping his other opponent from seizing an opening.
However, the one in front was already back on the offensive, pulling back into the ground and rapidly shaking the ground beneath it's opponent, trying to use an Earthquake technique to disorient and open up more offensive points. Jupiter was indeed disoriented by this, and in another attempt to intimidate, the other Diglett growled at it's opponent. It's effectiveness increased slightly considering that the electric type was not able to see exactly where it was coming from.
Jupiter leaped off of the shaking slap of earth, facing it's opponents one more time just as the second one resurfaced. “Headbutt and Tackle afterwards, they're lined up perfectly!” The aggressive Pokemon rushed forward, lowering it's head even with it's recently re-surfaced opponent and smacked it face-to-face. Rather then letting this impact stop it's momentum, the Jolteon jumped over it, continued running, and plowed it's shoulders into the head of the remaining Diglett. This technique reduced the second opponent into another unconscious heap, and the quick Pokemon spun around to face it's remaining foe. “Blind him with Sand-attack!”
The move's effectiveness was nullified. Diglett burrowed beneath the ground once more, dodging the attack and leaving the angry electric type flustered with the turn of events. “Keep you guard up! Hit it with another Tackle when it surfaces!”
Surface it did, just on Jupiter's left side. Before it could dodge or attack, Jupiter turned around, and nailed it head-on with a short-distance tackle. The noise echoed within the chamber, and the remaining foe plainly went 'out' of commission.
“Heh. That was really effective!” Then, remembering a line from one of his favorite games... “Especially against Living Things!”
The ground shook a considerably larger amount now, and the pair of pokemon along with the trainer turned to face their right side as a large slab of loose earth and rock tumbled downward. Assorted calls of the various ground-type creature's could be seen from the various tunnel formations from where the section of the ground gave way. Calls of the Diglett's and likely assorted Dugtrio called out their names. It was clear now, they saw Takuya and his Pokemon as invaders in their territory.
“Oh...firestone...fuck.”

The light of the sun was just beginning to leave the sights of ground, the lowest section of it touching the distant west horizon. A flock of Pidgeotto made their final landing points of the day on some of the trees, several rodent Pokemon scurrying back and forth. It would be picturesque, looking almost untouched by human hands.
Just beside a beaten dirt and gravel bike trail, a similar pile of earth and stone could be seen, with a similar hole. This one looked to have been hollowed out by human tools rather then natural erosion or digging by various pokemon, evidenced by it's more perfectly round shape and smooth texture. A cloud of thin dust breezed out of the tunnel, and Eon barreled out of the tunnel, the white spots on it's fur covered in dirt mixed with slight amounts of red, likely from assorted small cuts. Takuya emerged next, leaping outwards and landing on his knees and right hand. “Jup-heave-iter! Retreat!”
The Jolteon leaped out lastly, it's once-bright yellow aura dimmed by repeated attacks and use of the Thundershock. He unleashed a final blast into the mouth of the tunnel, kicking up another cloud of dust and dirt as it slowly plumed up and out of the tunnel's enterance. All three stopped and tried to catch their breath, Takuya gripping his chest while the pain of expelling the dust from his lungs echoed through coughing. The Eevee wheezed similiarly, while the electric type gritted it's teeth as it's sides expanded and contracted as his lungs tried to re-inspire energy into the animal.
“I'm...so sorry guys...” Takuya rolled onto his side, unable to roll any farther due to his backpack's size. “I didn't think of-heave-the reaction of the pokemon inside...and the dust.” He coughed roughly again. “Eon, come here.”
Despite it's beaten down condition, it crawled up toward it's trainer's face. The human male put his left hand on it's back, rubbing some of the excess grime out of it's fur. “Blood. Nothing serious, but I don't want to stress it. That last earthquake technique was lucky not to have damaged you any deeper. Brought half the tunnel right atop you.” He reached to one of the pokeballs on the front of his belt. “It's not worth pushing you though. Take a rest Eon.” The unevolved Pokemon dissipated back into a beam of white light and returned into the ball.
The dark haired human rolled back onto all fours, pushing himself upwards. “Jupiter, how about you?” The Eevelotuion trotted up beside him, looking at the human with it's dark purple eyes. “You did a great job covering our asses. How did you avoid any severe damage?” He paused for a second, looking at the sun in the distance. “How did any of us avoid getting critical injures?”
The yellow and white furred Pokemon nuzzled into his new trainer's hand, “I'm not sure if Pewter City has a decent healing center in comparison to Viridian City.” He gazed to the route in both directions. “We're heading south. It's a longer distance, but it will be worth it.” With no further words, he began moving forward, soreness in his legs from fleeing from the attack of the Digletts and Dugitrio's while dirt still caked his shoes and jacket.
He took a quick glance at his watch, trying to tell what the exact time was. “If we find anything we can take advantage of more a bit more experience, we'll take it. But it's late. I want to be at least on the outskirts of civilization before sleeping.” He reached over his shoulder and dug into one of the top pockets of his backpack. “This ought to hold you over and help take the edge off your soreness.” The trainer tossed a berry to the Jolteon, which caught it in mid-air and virtually inhaled it.
Several other pokemon in the area. Coming like a dinner bell had been rung, a small collection Rattata jumped out of the trees, likely lured by the scent. He smiled a bit. While he didn't get any decent footage while inside of the tunnel, this was an opportunity to good to pass up! A nice little battle between Jolteon and some strays would beckon in the views. “I guess it's true.” He remarked, truning on the camera and setting up a miniature tri-pod that was only about 10 centimeters tall, beginning to engage capturing some video. “You really don't catch a break on the glory roads. All because I pulled out...a...”
Contrary to what he first thought, the rodent like Pokemon all scurried past, putting a large distance between the human, the jolteon, and themselves. “Well...that was weird. Something must have spooked them.” Against better judgment, Takuya walked to the bushes on the side of the path, parting and looking over them to see what might have invoked such a reaction.
The sight that greeted him was not only unexpected, but left more questions then answers.
“Pi?”
“A Pichu!?” He was taken back. “What in the world...what are you doing out of the nest!”
“PI!” The small yellow pokemon turned and began to run away from the human, tripping over it's own feet in the process and landing face-first on the ground.
“Hold up, hold up. This CAN'T be right!” While the electric type mouse rolled on the ground, the much larger Jolteon came up beside it, rubbing it's nose on the side of the small animal's face. “Pikachu and Raichu are quite common in this area, and while Pichu is their first stage of growth, here in Kanto they typically don't leave their nest unless they've been driven out or...” He fell silent for a second, stopping his pacing and starring down at the small creature as it struggled to get back on it's two feet. “...or the nest has been raided by something powerful enough to injure the mother.”
“Pi?”
“This is for your protection. I can't stand to see something this young have a chance at life taken away. It's happened too often!” He reached and grabbed one of the smaller balls on his belt, tossing it at the small creature. The tiny pokemon was converted into red energy, shooting into the pokeball as it landed not far from where the small mouse had been. It gave a slight twitch, followed by the satisfying 'ping' of a successful capture.
The human bent over, picking the ball up and re-attaching it to his belt. “What on earth could have been...” He fell silent again, and him and his 'partner' electric type both looked into the thick trees of the surrounding Viridian Forest. Assorted crashes and splintering noises could be heard, and with no other warning, the foliage exploded several meters away from the new trainer.
The thick muscles of the Machamp flexed as it called into the heavens, acting like it was demanding a challenge. “Firestone...I don't have what it takes to take THAT on!”
“Heh, good job Machamp! You cleared the way and opened up some nice dough.” Stepping out of the clearing behind the burly pokemon came a series of men, each wearing dark clothes with a infamous large red 'R' painted on their shirts. Slung over their shoulders were assorted bags and nets, while one of them carried a pair of cages. It wasn't the cages and nets themselves that was the problem, as much as it was what was inside of them. Countless pokemon could be seen within, many of them beaten down roughly.
“Poachers...” Takuya gritted his teeth, stepping forward and knocking the still-recording camera and tripod onto it's side. He could feel a primal blood-boil within himself. Battling and capturing was fine, and unlike a lot of other trainers, he had no issues with trading or even selling! His issue came from the rough treatment that he could see. As the leader of the three grunts pulled out his pokeball and returned the Machamp, all other thoughts except one left the teenager's mind.
“Justice...must...be done!” He rushed forward, quickly closing the gap between himself and the poachers. Despite the heavy weight on his back and the large amount of running he had put into escaping the ground-types earlier that morning, his righteous rage drove him to a violent reaction. One of the Rocket grunts took a look to the side as he heard the running steps, just too late as Takuya grabbed the man's head with both of his hands, cupping his hands as he forced large amounts of air into the person's ears, grabbing him in an instant. Before he could react any farther, the teenager brought his knee right up into the man's face, the sound of cartridge splintering could be heard.
The other two grunts took note of the commotion as it happened, and one of the others rushed forward, winding up a huge hay-maker punch aimed at his opponent’s face.
Takuya stepped back and lowered his body, throwing a hard block upwards to deflect the incoming attack. The punch was stopped, and before the grunt knew what was going on, Takuya twisted his entire body around, throwing his right leg off the ground in a sweeping motion. The top of his foot impacted the grunt in his lower left side, knocking the wind out of him as he fell to the ground.
The aggressive teen turned around to locate the final poacher, only to hear a loud 'pang' and feel a deep pain in the right side of his head. The blue-eyed male stumbled back, falling onto his butt as the sunset-lit world quickly began spinning into a black void. In mere seconds, he felt and saw nothing more.

Thumbs up to whoever can trace the 'Really effective, especially against living things!' line.
