(Guess I'll start)
Tyler (shut up) stepped lightly into the Durgood Forest with Archibald at his side. Archibald (Archie) was his Growlithe, a present years ago form his father. Not so much a present as it was an adoption. Archie was a pup found by the Durgood Police Dept. one night. Apparently abandoned, Tyler's father offered it a home.
Now it was his best friend. And they were off to catch their first Pokemon.
(Something like that)

Wesley stood outside his house. His roomie yelled and threw something. A wheezing laughing echoed through.
"Aristar! What are you doing? Are you messing with James again?" He yelled. A little gas ball floated out.
"Maaaaaaaaaaybe..." That was one odd thing about this Gastly. He could talk. And even worse...it acted like any stereotypical ghost. It possessed things. Aristar was just as mischievous as a 5 year old toddler. James didn't like it.
"Dang it Aristar. Ya know that James hates it. And you almost broke my guitar last time." Wesley whispered the last sentence. He hated letting anything happen to his present from his mom. And since he couldn't see her anymore...It was good that he had this keepsake.
(Yes Aristar is going to talk. I explain why in a later post. Maybe if someone asks why.)

The thick trees of the Durgood Forest rose up around Tyler and blocked out the sun. Eternal night, or close to it. Zubats were out during the day here. Archie put his nose to the ground, then to the air and sniffed. He barked and ran off, leaving Tyler to follow.
They raced through the tangled overgrowth before coming to a rest by a large tree. A single Zubat hung upside down. Tyler recognized it instantly because it had a gash in its left ear. He named it Tallon some years ago, but now he was here to catch it. Tallon understood. It unfolded its wings and dropped down to the ground, preparedto battle Archie.

Vinn yawned and sat up in his bead. Well more like a bunk. His current home was a moderate sized tanker ship off the coast of Roi Rill port. Why? well he liked the privacy...and managed to bribe the previous owners out of it.
After hitting his head on the bulkhead for the thousanths time (insert swearing here) Vinn managed to make it down to the old galley for some breakfast.
After pouring some cereal and milk he was about to dig in when suddenly his spoon started floating.
*sigh* "Zen..." he said exasperatly. A small Abra popped up on the counter and began waving the spoon around with his spychic powahz. "Zen...we do this every morning. Just give me the spoon!"
Zen pouted playfully and let the spoon fall...into Vinn's cereal andsending milk splashing onto the young mobster. Zen laughed while Vinn just sighed again. It was a typical routine for them. Zen was his abra, his first pokemon, given to him by his father.
Well more like VInn had stopped his dad from selling the abra to a few shady characters in odd white and red suites....( Team Rocket lolol) Vinn took the abra in. Zen was a playful sort, and while annoying at times, Vinn enjoyed having him around.
"Abra." Zen piped up. Vinn sighed again and cleaned the milk off himself.
"Honestly Zen, you ask every day."
"Abra..."
"FIne we can head into town today."
Zen seemed happy and flitted over to a nearby window to stare out. Vinn opened his wallet to check out their funds.
Zip.
Vinn groaned. They had used up the last of it the LAST time they went to town. "No money...."
"Abra."
"Zen..why is it that whenever I DONT need your input, you never shut up..."
"......abra!"

"Oh well Aristar. Go get Masamune and lets go. We gotta gig in Durgood." Wesley opened the door and reached down to get his pack.
"You off? Break a leg!" James called.
"Not like you did right?" Wesley called back. James had just recently gotten into an accident with a Bagon. James got a broken leg. The Bagon got away.
"Hey! Shaddup!" Came the response. Wesley laughed and grabbed his motorbike keys. Cycling was fun and all but motorcycles were the way to go. A Ralts slithered(?) up to him.
"C'mon Masamune." He held out its Pokeball. The red beam extended and latched onto the little Psychic. "Okay we're off." And with that Wesley was off on the road towards his next show.

Janie relaxed on the beach, letting her light orange hair flow in the breeze. Mary, her Marill, was sitting behind her, and Janie stroked her as she watched the waves break on the shore. She had just gotten out of the water from a swim, and she was letting the sun dry her a bit before heading to Ground Zero, her secret base. Her things were laying beside her, soaking up the sun's rays.
Mary suddenly began bouncing and trying to get Janie to wake up. Janie sat up and looked over to Mary, who had grabbed her arm. "What is it, Mary?"
Mary pointed towards the market where Janie's parents worked selling trinkets and items to decorate your home and secret base with. Janie was supposed to head there around noon for her shift. Janie reached for her bag and pulled out her watch to check the time. It was 12:45.
"CRAP, I'M LATE! Mom's gonna kill me!"
Janie jumped to her feet and grabbed her clothes. She threw on a vest/jacket over her bathing suit, and tied a wrap around her waist along with her bag. She tried to put on her socks and shoes as she ran from the beach towards the market. Mary followed after her.
She sprinted to the end of the market where her mother was standing at the stall, tapping her foot. Janie skidded to a stop right infront of her, trying to catch her breath. Mary ran into the back of her leg and fell backwards. Janie's mother placed her hands on her hips and gave Janie a look that would make any child feel guilty. She looked over Janie's soaking wet hair and clothes, and shook her head. "Had your head in the clouds again, Janie?"
Janie twisted the water out of her hair and smiled apologetically at her mother. "Yes..."
She tied her hair up into pigtails and placed a cap (like a beanie) over her head. She grabbed and apron from behind the stall and went strait to her post. Her mother smiled and tapped on her watch. "I'll expect you home at seven, ok?"
Janie nodded and Mary waved good-bye as her mom walked off towards home. Janie sighed and crossed her arms on the counter. Mary hopped up to the counter and poked Janie, trying to get her to smile. Janie looked over towards Mary and patted her head. "Why is this job so boring, Mary, when there are no tourists?"

Tallon dropped to the ground, defeated. Archie was still tensed in case it came at him again, but it wouldn't. The Zubat was spent. Suddenly a red and white ball came flying through the air, hit Tallon, and opened. The Zubat became a form of red energy before vanishing inside the ball. No struggle. Tallon was caught.
Tyler retrieved the ball and stared at it. He did it. He caught his first Pokemon. Archie bounded to his side, barking excitedly. (Pokemon don;t say their names, thats stupid). Tyler smiled. "Now we're off." He decided. He produced a map and found the nearest place.
Roi Rill Port. That's where we're going.

Wesley zoomed through route 312(IDK). Aristar easily kept pace. Roi Rill Port loomed ahead. He pushed the accelerator. Before he knew it he saw a girl walking to a stall. Whats bad about this is that Wesley was heading straight for her. What's even worse is that he took the wrong road and didn't have very much room to avoid her. He grabbed the brakes lever on the handles. Tires screeched and the bike began to flip.
"ARISTAR! Grab my guitar and get it off me!" Wes yelled. Aristar obeyed and possessed the electric instrument. It was off before Wes completed the unintentional flip. Its a good thing he wears a leather jacket when he rides. But that doesn't stop it from hurting. Wes screamed as he landed, the bike on top of him. Together they slid to a burning hot stop in the market. Wes was unconscious.

Janie jumped when she saw the boy fall in front of her. "Woah!"
She ran to the front of the stall and leaned over the boy. She pulled the bike off of him and knealed down to see if she could wake him. Mary had hopped down with her, and stood next to Janie as she shook the boy. "Hey, wake up! Wake up!"
Others had stopped to look, but most were to caught up with sales and shopping to notice. The boy only looked like he had fallen. Janie saw that shaking wouldn't wake him up, so she grabbed Mary and stood back. "Mary, use water gun."
Mary spat out a powerful stream of water at the boy, trying to wake him. Janie held Mary as she did so. "Come on, wake up!"
She saw him begin to move, so she put Mary down and knealt over him again. "Hey! Are you ok?"

Tyler and Archie arrived in Roi Rill after noon, as the sun began is descent. As they did, they heard a violent crash form the stalls further in. Archie barked and they raced off to investigate.
A bike was upturned in a ruined stall and a girl was kneeling over a boy.
"Is he alright?"

Janie looked up to see someone with an Growlithe walking up to her. "I'm not sure. He just crashed right in front of my stall."

"Guh..." Wesley moaned as the water drenched him. "I don't wanna wake up..." Then a ache spread through his body as he remembered the crash. "I'll be fine." He stood. Wes looked at his ruined leather jacket. "Daaaaang." Full parts of the jacket were frayed off. "I'm Wesley. Who are you two?" He asked completely ignoring the crash. Aristar floated up. A worried look splayed across the gaseous ball. The guitar hanging through the Gastly.
"Wessssssley are you ok?" Asked the specter.
"Huh?" Wes looked confused. "Um....I guess?"

Janie noticed Mary hopping up and down next to her. Janie turned to her and patted her head. "What is it, Mary?"
Mary did whatever pokemon do now to speak...squeeked or something, and pointed at her bag. Janie tilted her head in confusion. "But I don't have to be home until seven. I work here until then.........oh yeah!"
Janie went behind the stall and folded her arms on the counter, smiling. "Can I help you two with anything?"

Tyler looked from the girl to the boy still on the ground. Archie sniffed the talking Gastly. "Uh... maybe. I'm Tyler. This is Archibald, Archie for short." Archie barked.

Calfrun, watching all of this from behind a tree, was considering approaching these people. That talking ghastly might make a good first catch... or snag, since it appeared to already have a trainer. Luckily, he had brought some snag balls from the base of Team Phoenix. He would have to do this quckly and quietly. He reached into his pocket and found his torchic's ball. He pulled it out of his pocket and let his pokemon out.
"Torch-" It started to exclaimed, but Calfrun shushed it. Alright.... he thought, let's do this.

Michael looked up when he heard a loud screeching noise. It was the familiar sound of a swarm of Zubat taking flight in haste. He could hear the rustling of the leaves nearby. Hundreds of Zubat flew by overhead as Michael watched.
"Pshu!" Xero, Michael's Beedrill said, hovering beside his trainer.
"Yes, I know, Xero," Michael said wearily. "It's just... This forest seems so much more alive than any other I've seen. The Viridian Forest with its myriad of Caterpie, Weedle, Metapod, Kakuna, Butterfree, and its famous Beedrill hive; the Petalburg Forest with its Wurmple, Cascoon, Silcoon, Dustox, and Beautifly; even more bustling with activity than old Fortree City."
He sighed, remembering his hometown. He wondered how his mother was doing. He thought of his father and wondered how his berry farm was progressing. He imagined helping his father with the farm, Xero flying through the plants, watering them with a Wailmer Pail, his Treecko Scar cutting back the weeds with his favorite twig, and his Tailow Breeze... dropping... fertilizer...
"Pshu!"
Michael suddenly snapped out of his reverie.
"Alright, Xero, we're going! Scar! Breeze! C'mon! We're off to Roi Rill Port. Maybe we'll see some Bellsprout on the way! Haha!" Scar, who was leaning against a tree nearby, jumped up and ran toward Michael, jumping up on his shoulder. Breeze was flying through the trees and, picking off some berries, she dropped the berries in Michael's open backpack and began circling around his head. Xero impatiently floated onward into the woods. When they were all set, Michael pushed a button in his running shoes with his toes and took off toward Roi Rill Port.

"I'm Janie, and this is Mary."
Mary had hopped up onto the counter next to Janie and was bouncing on her tail, even if she was a little big for that. She hadn't been a Marill that long. She was still used to the Azurill tail. Janie looked at the two boys and wondered if they had secret bases. "We have a bunch of stuff like water balloons, spin mats, music mats, and of course, dolls. Interested?"
