《Pokémon The Legend: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald》 Chapter 1: Hijacked Sapphire: Kippo, Mud Shot! A Mudkip would hop into the air, after the demand of their trainer, as it generated a blob of mud in front of its mouth that would go blasting towards the enemy pokemon, in this case -- it was a Rattata. The Rattata would take the mud shot head-on, only shaking off the remaining mud on its body after the attack, it seemed to take very little damage, The Rattata''s trainer laughed, swiping his thumb under his nose as he glared his opponent in the eyes Youngster:Rattatta can easily take those kinds of attacks! It''s the top percentage after all! Sapphire: Kippo, water gun! Youngster: Rattata, Hyper Fang! Rattata ran towards the opposing Mudkip, as it aimed to claw it down with its massive teeth, but the Mudkip avoided the attack, blasting a beam of water at the Rattata, the Rattata would go flying. Joey would then run away from his opponent, to go look for his pokemon Youngster: Aww man, I''ll be back! With my top percentage Rattata! And then, he was gone. Mudkip would then run towards its trainer, as the trainer wrapped their arms around Mudkip, hugging it close, giving it a light kiss. Sapphire: Good work, Kippo! Mudkip: "Mudkip!!" Mudkip would jump onto its trainer''s face, as its trainer laughed, and placing Mudkip on top of their head. The trainer was female, a young who has long brown hair with a single fringe at the center with three edges secured by a red and white kerchief, and blue eyes with long eyelashes. Her single fringe on her long brown hair is very indentical to her mother. She wears a red shirt with a navy blue semi-circle on it, a yellow fanny pack, white and navy gloves, a white mini skirt over dark blue cycle shorts, and black ankle socks along with red shoes with black and yellow stripes. She would pat Mudkip''s head, as the girl would head towards Odale town, she removed a device from her pouch and began to analyze it, swiping her finger on the device''s screen, it listed some Pokemon -- but most of the screen was taken over with question marks. Sapphire(Thoughts):Well. . .I''m a Pokemon Trainer. I''ve got this Pokemon from my father, and thanks to Kippo....I can go anywhere now. But, what should I do? Complete the Pokedex? That would be the right way to pay my father back for the Pokemon...But I could go into the competitive life and aim to become a Pokemon Champion...that sounds pretty cool, but is that the kind of life I want? The girl would continue thinking, as her eyes were focused on the ground below -- her Pokemon Kippo tossed its head down, titling its head as it stared into her eyes Sapphire: Hm? Oh, sorry about that Kippo....I dozed off. Mudkip: "Sa...." Sapphire: Huh! Oh, Kippo! Kippo! Come on you can do it, Say my name. Say Sapphire! Mudkip: "S...Sa....Sap. Sap! Sapkip! Sa....Sap." Sapphire laughed, she adored her little Mudkip. She would begin walking, heading down a route on the left side of the town. She would sneak her way through the grass, she wasn''t interested in catching any Pokemon in the area -- yet. Soon, she''d dash her way out of the Route, and into Petalburg City -- only to quickly leave that city into woods. Sapphire: Kippo, all we have to do now is make our way out of these woods and we''ll be winning our first badge! Kippo, use water gun on t-" ???: Sapphireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. There''s a time and place for everything, this isn''t the time to use thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Sapphire: Huh? Dad? How come I hear you? Prof. Birch: ecause I''m yeeeeeeeelliiiiiiiiiiiiiiing." Professor Birch would run towards Sapphire, as he seemed pretty tired, Sapphire had a puzzled look on her face, her father would pat Sapphire''s head, and he would begin to take light steps through the grass, turning back to his daughter with a large smile on his face The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Prof. Birch: Come on, follow me! Sapphire would also begin taking light steps through the grass as well, then they would come across a horde of Pokemon. Four Poochyenaes, and one Mightyena. Mudkip and Sapphire would silently gasp, as her father laughed. Prof. Birch: You see that? These pokemon aren''t normally found here! Hey, you should try to catch that Mightyena! Sapphire: Alright...I''ll do my best, dad! As Sapphire took a Pokeball from her pouch, but the Mightyena would soon run away, the Poochyenaes would run in separate directions. Sapphire would then run after the Mightyena, the Mightyena seemed to be slowing down, and as Sapphire had gotten closer the Mightyena, it would quickly turn around and quickly jump over Sapphire''s head, with its fangs wide out. With Sapphire paralyzed in fear, she can''t move! The Mightyena bites onto Mudkip, and spitting it out on the ground. A laughter could be heard, Sapphire began to shake just a little bit, and it seemed as if a grunt, a robber. The grunt wore a black cap with a strange symbol on it. He wore a light blue and white stripped shirt, and pants that are ripped to look like pants. He had a slim grin on his face, as she balled her hands into fist -- her Mudkip jumped back on its feet. Mudkip would then run back to Sapphire, glaring down their opponents. ???: Alright Mightyena, go -- Get The Professor''s Briefcase! Sapphire: What, no! Kippo, use Water gun on Mightyena!" Mudkip would generate a beam of water in front of its mouth, but Mudkip was quickly tossed away by Mightyena, Professor Birch would then blink seeing Mightyena approach him, he would then spread a smile on his face, as he opened his arms ???: That''s right, Mightyena! Come to Papa." The Mightyena would then bite onto Professor Birch''s pouch, Professor Birch would attempt to pull his case out of Mightyena''s grasp, but it would end with Mightyena crushing open his pouch, as three Pokeballs would pop out and go flying! The Grunt would then run towards Mightyena, with Sapphire right behind him ???: Alright, All we gotta do now is get these Rare Pokemon, and then our mission is Compl- Summer:YOO, RICK. DID YOU GET THE DEVON GOODS?" Ricky: The what now?" A female grunt would then run towards Ricky, as she would look at him in the eyes, a little pissed off Summer: THE DEVON GOODS. YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR BOSS NEEDS FOR SOME REASON. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IT FROM THE SCIENTIST THAT COMES INTO PETALBURG WOODS FROM TIME TO TIME!" Ricky: Ummmmm..... Summer: . . . . Ricky: . . . Summer: . . . Summer: Let''s go. Ricky: Okay...... The Grunt would walk away, carrying two Pokeballs, as his Mightyena dropped a Pokeball in its owner''s hand, and Ricky would return Mightyena into its Pokeball. Sapphire: Dad. . .are you okay? Prof. Birch: Yeah, I''m okay! I just need to get my Pokemon back! That Mightyena broke open my bag! Sapphire: I''ll go get them back for you! Sapphire would run around Petalburg woods, she was fortune enough to find a pokeball, however it was curled up in the grip of a Wurmple. Sapphire wouldn''t go to attack the Wurmple, but rather to pick it up, and grab the Pokeball from it, then place the Wurmple back down, she would then find another Pokeball not too far away from her father -- she would return the Pokeballs she found back to her dad. Sapphire: Here you go, Dad. But...I''m sorry, I couldn''t find that last one.... Prof. Birch: That''s more than alright Sapphire, thank you -- I really appreciate it! Sapphire:I just don''t know where the last one could be....you know what, Dad? I''m going to get that Pokemon back! Prof. Birch: What? Sapphire, no. Don''t put yourself in danger, it''s alright real- Sapphire: LATER! And with that, Sapphire ran away from her dad, soon she would leave Petalburg woods in pursuit of finding Ricky Prof. Birch: And, she''s gone. Sapphire, Oh Sapphire. What am I going to do with you? Chapter 2: Back on Track ???: Virgoroth, Fury Swipes! Roxanne: . . . The trainer''s Virgoroth would rush towards Roxanne''s Nosepass, furiously slashing at the stone hard Pokemon, but Nosepass didn''t seem to be affected by this at all, it just stood there. Roxanne sighed, crossing her arms as she slammed her foot on the ground Roxanne: You just don''t get it, do you? Your Pokemon just aren''t strong enough to handle my Pokemon. You will lose, this will mark the 40th time. ???: Pfft, you shut your mouth! Me and Virgoroth WILL Beat your Pokemon, this will be the day we d- Roxanne: Nosepass, Rock Tomb. As Virgoroth continued to keep slashing at Nosepass, Nosepass would cause rocks to fall from the sky -- as the rocks would slam on Virgoroth, first one rock, then a horde of other rocks. The trainer''s Nosepass was trapped underneath these rocks, Nosepass stood over the helpless Virgoroth, Roxanne would shake her head, the trainer on the other side began to shake a bit -- this had been a scene far too familiar to him. Roxanne: Rock Slide. A large number of rocks would come sliding onto Virgoroth, crushing it under its might -- Virgoroth fainted. The rocks would crumble away, revealing the fainted Pokemon. The trainer on the other side held his head down, he walked towards his Pokemon, sending it back to its Pokeball with no words said at all. He would look back towards Roxanne, he looked as if he was on the verge of tears, but he still had a grin on his face. Roxanne: Zenku. . . Zenku: SOON ROXANNE, SOON. ME AND VIRGOROTH WILL DEFEAT YOU. Roxanne: You lose every time...Zenku, if you want any shot at beating me, I suggest you catch some Pokemon. Zenku: I''m heading to the Pokemon Center, then me and Vigoroth will be back! And with that, Zenku was off. He didn''t go to the Pokemon Center as he said he would, but rather he went straight towards Petalburg woods -- then he bumped shoulders with someone, he turned to see who he made contact with -- and it was Ricky! The same Team Aqua Grunt from in the forest. Zenku: Hm? Ricky: Sorry, my bad! Ricky would continue walking, as a girl would follow behind Ricky, giving Zenku the mad eye. ???: Watch it, Punk! Zenku: I didn''t- She would quickly go running away, soon her and Ricky would be out of sight. Zenku would just shrug it off, as he continued walking and would end up in Petalburg woods -- as he walked, with the only thing in mind is taking down Roxanne, he tripped and stumbled over a Pokeball. He fell right of his face, as he sat up, he would look at what he tripped over -- an Opened Pokeball, he would grab the pokeball, and close it. Once he looked towards his left, he saw a little Gecko, standing right next to him, as the the creature hopped away, Zenku quickly realized this was his chance to catch a Pokemon, as he tossed the Pokeball at the creature, and enclosing it inside of the Pokeball without the Pokeball shaking once. Zenku jumped up, he yelled out, and he would then take the Pokeball and run out the woods Zenku: Awesome, I caught it! Zenku would then run right back into the Gym, as Roxanne sighed upon gazing her eyes on Zenku''s presence. Roxanne: So. . .you''ve returned, have you? Zenku: Yeah, with a new Pokemon. NOW, GO -- WHATEVER YOU ARE! You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Roxanne raised an eyebrow at Zenku''s statement, she was apprehensive. She was excited to see he caught something new, but she was nervous to see what exactly was this Pokemon, she also had a strong doubt that it was anything new. But to her surprise, it was! A small green Gecko like Pokemon. . .but the Pokemon. . .didn''t look to happy to be here. The Gecko scratched its head, looking around the room to see two beings way taller than it standing over it. Roxanne had a smile on her face, as she laughed, sending her Nosepass. Roxanne: That''s the spirit! Now that Pokemon, is a Treecko. Treecko is a grass type, and that''s super effective against my rock Pokemon. Who knows, maybe you might when this time. Zenku: AWESOME. Alright, Treecko -- use. . .Um? What. . .do you know? Roxanne(Mumbling): Of course. . . Roxanne: Nosepass, Rock Tomb! Nosepass would nod, as a horde of rocks appeared in the sky from thin air, slamming onto Treecko, however Treecko avoided the attack by hoping to the right side of the arena. Treecko clinched its teeth, as it rushed towards Nosepass, and a snap -- Treecko smacked Nosepass with its tail, however Nosepass didn''t even budge. Roxanne: Now, Rock Slide! Zenku: . . . The Nosepass would expand its arms, as a horde of rocks came sliding down on Treecko, Treecko would then take the hits, but it grinned -- as Treecko would cause a light green and faint light to appear in front of Nosepass, Nosepass would soon collapse, as light green orbs would then transfer from Nosepass to Treecko, as Treecko seemed to regain its strength! Roxanne: Absorb. . .? Zenku: Alright, good work -- Treecko! Treecko would turn towards Zenku with its arms crossed, as it grinned -- Nosepass would then hop into the air, as rocks would begin sliding down from the ceiling, stacking in a circle around Treecko, Nosepass would then come crashing down on Treecko, Treecko would jump up to avoid being crushed, but right when Treecko jumped up Nosepass was just a little bit above it Roxanne: Now, Explosion! A massive explosion would pop off, as smoke cleared the air you could see a red beam being absorbed into Roxanne''s Pokeball, Treecko would fall to the ground -- bruised, however he wasn''t out of the fight. Roxanne''s eyes widened, as she laughed, jumping up and running towards Zenku, placing her fist on her hips as she looked into his eyes Roxanne: Well, return your Pokemon. Zenku: Right. . .good job, Treecko! Return. Treecko would look towards Zenku, as it was turned into a red beam of energy and transferred into the Pokeball, Roxanne would inhale, and exhale Roxanne: YOU DID IT. YOU BEAT ME AT LAST! I AM IMPRESSED, YOUR POKEMON IS AMAZI- Ahem. . .Zenku. . . '' Zenku: Um. . .Yeah? Roxanne: You have finally won. You have earned it, the Stone Badge. Roxanne would hand Zenku a small symbol. Two arrowheads pointing adjacent ways with a small slanted slab in the center linking them together. Zenku grabbed the badge would a smile on his face, placing it in his gym case as he nodded. Zeku: Thanks, Roxanne! Zenku would then head towards the Pokemon center, as he healed his two Pokemon and then headed out of the Pokemon Center, completely energized. Zenku: AWESOME. NOW, ONTO THE NEXT GYM! Chapter 3: New To The Team Ricky: Alright then....let''s see what kinda Pok¨¦mon are you. Ricky would remove a Pok¨¦ball from his pocket, lightly tossing it out of his hand as it bounced off the ground, popped open and the Chic Pok¨¦mon -- Torchic. Torchic would stare at Ricky, as Ricky leaned in towards it, raising an eyebrow as his fellow grunt laughed behind him. Grunt(Female): Whoa, look at that! I''ve never seen a Pok¨¦mon like that. Ricky: It''s. . .a weird one. Like a chicken. Hey! I know -- Hey, Torchic, can I call you Ken? Torchic would hop up after staring at Ricky for a few seconds, The female grunt would start laughing at him, as he turned around and stood up -- stretching, as Torchic would stand on his foot Ricky: Yo, Summer -- what are you laughin'' at over there!? Summer: Ken. . .Ken is adorable. Ricky: Eh. . .I guess so. Summer would sigh, wiping off her forehead as she pulled out a phone-like device, as her fingers jammed on the buttons as she placed the phone close to her ear, mumbling Summer(Mumbling): Here we go... ???: SUMMMEEEEERRRRR. WHASSUUUUUUUUUP. A person would pick up the phone, the man who answered the phone was. Very loud fella, as his voice caused Summer to almost drop the phone. Summer: Matt. . .why did you answer the phone?! Put Shella on the phone. Matt: Don''t you mean Shelly? Summer: . . .Yes, Shelly. Matt: Alright. . .give me a second. SHELLY. Distant voice: WHAT?! Matt: SOMEONE IS CALLING FOR YOU. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Distant voice: OH MY. . .WHO, WHO IS IT?! Matt: IT''S SUMMER. Distant voice: Oh I know Summer! Me and her had an excellent lunch. Pass me the phone then! The only thing Summer could hear was the sound of the phone slicing through the air as it went crash landing towards Shelly. And soon, a crash was heard. Did it land it Shelly''s hands? Did it fall? Summer will never know. It didn''t take long for Shelly to grab the phone, as she held it to her ear Shelly: Yes, hello Summer? Summer: . . .Yeeeah, I''m here with Ricky- Ricky: SUP. Summer: . . .And, we were. . . unable to retrieve the Devon Goods from the scientist in Petalburg woods. . .but Ricky found this really cool Pok¨¦mon! Ricky: HIS NAME IS KEN. Shelly: Hmph, that''s quite a shame. And. . .who is Ricky? Summer: . . .You''ll know when you see him. Shelly: Alright, then my next task is to see you both at Slateport. There, we will discuss our next mission. Summer: Roger that, Shelly. Shelly would then hang up, leaving Summer with no other option but to put her phone in her pocket, as she looked at Ricky with a grin on her face and a palm on her hip Summer: Alright Ricky, good news! Shelly doesn''t really seem to care, so now all we need to do is head on over to Slateport. Ricky: Slateport. . .? Summer: You know that city with the docks? That''s where the workers at Devon Cooperation are making that submarine! Ricky: Oh, awesome! Maybe I can have Mister Briney take us over there. Summer: Perfect, now let''s go!
