Pokemon Origins Hoenn

Littleroot Town

                                               

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 Brendan's mother.

Brendan spotted another Vigoroth moving a box into another room.

"Brendan, your room is upstairs. Why don't 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 silly 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 Pokeball!" 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.
