//------------------------------// // A Talking Torchic?! // Story: Pokémon Solar Advanced Generation // by The Gamer Master Archive //------------------------------// (Intro is Volt, but this is ORAS) My name, is Brendan. I am ten years old, and have just moved to Littleroot Town. I've done all that I have into settling in, getting my clock into order, taking a potion out of your PC, and I even met this nice girl named May. Though what I didn't know, or begin to understand is what happened when I saw Professor Birch being chased by a Poochyena. "What's going on here?" I asked. "Quickly my boy! Grab one of those Poke Balls, and help me!" The professor shouted as he kept running away from the Poochyena. He pointed to the briefcase, which I opened. I saw three Pokeballs, one with a Treecko, one with a Mudkip and- "What in tarnation is goin' on here?!" I was clueless. It didn't sound like the professor's voice, and from what I know, May wasn't around. I kept on looking around wondering what was going on. Confused, I picked up the Torchic's ball and threw it to release the Pokemon. However, the Torchic immediately walked towards me. "Phew! Thanks partner! Ah didn't even know where Ah was. Actually, where am Ah?" The Torchic asked me. "Look, I guess I'll explain later Torchic, but right now we need to battle!" I said trying to show her the Poochyena. "Why tha hay do y'all want me to do that?" "Please, that professor over there needs help, and we need to fight it off!" "Alright fine, this be quick with my Applebuck." "Your what?!" I questioned as the Torchic turned her backside towards the Poochyena and try to kick it, only for her to fall on her face. "What?! I can't Applebuck! Do you know any attacks?" She asked me. "Uh, use Scratch?" I said questionably. Torchic then got up to Poochyena and scratched it until Poochyena fainted. "Why thank you my boy. I think we should go back to my lab." Professor Birch told me. "Okay then, Torchic return." I said getting ready to return the Pokemon to her Pokeball. "What, no! Ah'm not goin' back in there. Ah can walk by myself." Torchic said as the three of us walked back to Professor Birch's lab. Awaiting us was May. "Hey you two! Where have you guys been?" "How many more of you hoomans are there?" Torchic asked me. To this May was surprised. "B-B-Brendan! Either I've gone deaf or that Torchic just talked!" May shouted, moving father away from me and the Torchic. "Since I can hear you, it has to be the latter. For some reason, even though Professor Birch can't hear her, for some reason we can." I answered as May began to calm down. "I-I see." "Why is everypony so surprised that Ah can talk?" the Torchic shouted. "Everypony?" Both May and I repeated. "Yeah, why, is that not what you say here?" Torchic responded. "Not at all actually, we are humans. It would even be proper for you, seeing as how you're a Torchic, and we have Ponytas here, but no ponies." May said. "A Tor-what?" The Torchic asked. It was at this point where May and I began to explain what a Torchic was, the world we live in where all the animals are replaced by Pokemon. Torchic also told us about the world she originally came from. "Okay, so, from what I heard in your story about how you're from a world filled with magical talking ponies, there are two questions. Why and how?" I said after her explanation. "How did you get to Hoenn?" "And why are you here and not another location?" May finished. "Well to be completely honest you two, Ah'm not completely sure. It all happened so fast and quickly, Ah can't remember." She said as she began to look down at the ground. "Maybe traveling around Hoenn could possibly give you an answer!" May explained. "Possibly, around Hoenn there are friends of yours around here! And we'd know by if we are able to hear their voices." "That does sound like a good idea, and I have wanted to go on a Journey since I moved here." I said thinking aloud. "So what do you say, are you in Torchic?" May asked. After Torchic thought about it for a while she decided. "Ya know, what's the harm? Ah'm in too!" She said. "Alright! I'll go find Dad again and get Pokedexes and some Poke Balls so we can head out-" May said before Torchic interrupted. "Now, simmer down! If we're gonna be goin' on this here journey, we need to get acquainted. Name's Applejack." Applejack told us. "I'm Bredan, I guess I'm your trainer." I said. "And I'm May." She told Applejack. "Well it's good to meet y'all but we should best prepare to get goin'." Applejack finished. May went off to go get Professor Birch to get the supplies we needed in order to start our Pokemon journey. Once May came back and we both said our goodbyes to our parents, we both left for Route 101. For some reason, May brought two Poke balls with her, most-likely being the Treecko and Mudkip in the other Poke Balls. And so, the three of us began our journey, with goals and missions we had to accomplish, as the journey begins.
