The Journey of Matt

[Ninetales]

Okay, this is my first, I mean, very first fanfic... so it might start out rocky, but it ends better, in grammer, spelling, and plot development and story structure.

Okay, a few rules before I begin... if you want to review, please send me a PM, it will keep this thread clean... and also, allow me to answer questions that you might have faster and easier then in a thread like this. Thank you that is all.

The Trainer of

It was one of the most beautiful sunsets that Matthew Brown had ever seen. With their vibrant colors of reds, oranges, along with the darkening color of clouds that are turning from pink to black. This has been a tradition of his to see the sunrise and set as much as possible. When from behind him, his younger brother came running up, out of breath from running all the way from their campsite. Soon he straitens his back and as soon as he regained his breath he says.

“Matt dinner is ready and mom and dad want to talk to you before you leave tomorrow on your pokemon journey.” Matt turned and replied with the tone of that of an annoyed older brother

“Thank you Ethan I will be down as soon as the sun is done setting you know that I don’t like being interrupted as it sets. Also tell them I found some very good fire wood for tonight, we won’t have any troubles tonight from any insects. I can finally go on my journey after waiting more then 6 years I can go.’ Matt said this last part with a slight raise in his voice of excitement.

“Okay I’ll tell them, and don’t be late; you know how mom is about time.” Ethan replied back in a tone of voice that had a joking demeanor behind it.

“Yes Ethan I know that, seeing how she gets even more worried when ever we go camping. Come on, dad’s Arcanine will protect the camp and wild pokemon usually stay away from this path anyway.”

“True brother, that is oh so true.” Ethan replied with a laugh

With that he takes off again running back down the hill before Matthew could tell him to enjoy the walk down the hill.

Matthew was then about to pick up his bundle of sticks when he heard a women scream.

“Put it out. Put It out NOW!” the female screeched out in a high pitch voice that made Matthew cringes at the volume of the noise

Voice number two, which sounded like a man. “I would if you would stop running around your only feeding it”

Before Matthew could make out any more words he was tackled blindly by a small brown furry animal which in a second he realized was a Vulpix. He then saw something that made him shudder out of fear. The Vulpix was badly poisoned. So without a thought of his action or what could happen as such, he takes off his windbreaker and wrapped him up in it hoping that he wouldn’t frighten the poor thing. But as he took off running he heard two voices behind him thinking them where rangers, so he slows down ready to give the Vulpix to the proper authority.

Voice one “put that Vulpix down, now.”

Voice Two “Yeah we weakened it so we could capture it we won’t like it being taken from us.”

Matt skirted to a halt and turned around to face his challengers and saw a female with what was long hair now burned to a short length and a man with a 5 o’clock shadow wearing the tall tell uniform of Team Rocket Black pants and shirt with a red R in front.

Female: “Now that we have your attention. Prepare for a fight”

Male: “and be ready for twice the light

Female: “to steal all your valued pokemon”

Male: “leaving you only none”

Female “Violet”

Male: “Garth”

But before they could finish a pidgey Squawked “enough you fools he getting away”

Garth and Violet: “you won’t get away that easy”

Violet: “Beedrill go”

Garth: “Raticate I need you”

With that the tall tell sounds and lights appeared releasing the two said pokemon

Violet: “Beedrill you know what to do to the trainer and when you’re done bring the Vulpix back to me.”

“Bee Beedrill” with that the bee pokemon took off about ready to fight only to find itself colliding with a tree branch for matt had put the vulpix down on the ground and had taken a defensive spot over the poor guy, he also was holding one of the branches that he was taking for fire wood to use later that night and swinging it around as he was yelling at the two rocket grunts

“Leave this poor Vulpix alone and also you will not get away with this, the rangers will be on their way.” Matthew was readying the tree branch as if he was a baseball player ready to hit the ball thrown at him.

But this attack and challenged from the young boy only infuriated the Beedrill to launce a bunch of twin needle attack hitting Matt badly but still he was stand even though he showed signs that he was poisoned. Garth seeing this ordered his raticate to rush in to grab the vulpix in its jaws only to be hit in the face with the tree branch. Just as matt fell to one knee a howl was heard and a Ninetales jumped unto the scene sending a very powerful fire spin attack sending the Rocket grunts into the Air

All: “we will get you for this for getting in are way someday you will pay.” and then they twinkled like Jessie and James. And when the Ninetales looked back it gasped because the human had lost conciseness because of the poison.

(A/n) I will translate now so you can hear the conversation going on.

Ninetales: “son get those berry’s that are over by the path over there

Vulpix: “yes mother”

Ninetales: “Matt also can you get some herbs he’ll need all the help he can get especially since he saved you from those ruffians”

Matt: “ok I hope they look for him soon because I don’t think he’ll last long like this.”

Ninetales: “true but don’t worry Mothers instincts will tell his mom something is wrong”

At that moment as they were talking and administering the berries and herbs voices were heard yelling “MATT... MATT CAN YOU HEAR ME.” At that moment the search party came to the clearing that the battle took place to see a Ninetales and vulpix giving matt berry’s to help stop the poisoning and also starting a small fire using the wood that matt had collected. The ranger seeing that he was stable after checking vitals decide to take Matthew back to the first aid station for him to finish recovering and to question him on what happened.

Meanwhile a mile away the trio of thieves where calling their boss Giovanni in a abandoned gas station

“Boss we fond the perfect vulpix to try the experiment but theirs a slight problem”

“WHAT! You said that you could do this operation. Ha. You call yourself Grunts unless you get that vulpix back I don’t want you to come to any base until you do. Understand?”

The two just nod and said in unison “Yes sir.” Then the screen goes black

Violet “now what Garth we can’t go back you saw that party of rangers from the air?”

“Yes violet I saw so we just wait until things cool down then we take all of that kid’s pokemon.”

“Don’t you two forget that...” at this a metal color fell off the neck of the pidgey and it started speaking pokemon

“Fred your translator fell off” at this violet bent down and picked it up and put it back on

“Thanks I need that to help plan” with that the trio started planning into the night and morning

Dawn was, well dawning onto the first aid station and matt was wide awake telling about his encounter with team rocket

The ranger after he heard the entire story was appalled “they were planning to attack you matt?” at this for the umpteenth time the Vulpix perked up then seeing that it didn’t involve him still just put his head back down while watching from outside underneath the window. Then out of the woods came out another vulpix

“There you are matt I was looking all over for you.”

“Firestorm” matt then jumps up and runs over and tackles her playfully

“That’s it you ask for it Matt” at this the two started to wrestle like most young Vulpix’s to gain experience but don’t faint each other.

Meanwhile Matthew hearing the commotion outside walks slowly over seeing the two Vulpixs wrestling and chasing each other he starts to chuckle to himself.

Chapter Two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Start of the Journey part one

Matt was really enjoying watching the two vulpixs wrestle each other but then they both ran off into the under brush. Sighing matt knowing that the small vulpix will be safe, how he didn’t know he just knew. Great I must be going mad or something he thought but yet some how like a mother or father know how their kid was safe he knew.

Oh well I guess I’ll go see what the rangers and rest of the family is doing. So he left the window and still limping from the poison sting attack he suffered he went to the front part of the first aid station.

Meanwhile in another part of the National forest

“No, I won’t allow it” a stern female ninetales growled while talking to her son the same vulpix that the human matt saved

“Why mom, why can’t I go with him?”

“Because he doesn’t have any pokemon with him besides I thick you still need to grow a little bigger before leaving the pack.”

“But he saved my life and well, I like his aura. Not like those two who first tried getting me.” At this the ninetales just stared at her son. He can tell the good people from bad people already. The elders said that he was gifted but this early. He only has four tales. At this the ninetales was shaken from her thoughts

“Mom I going and that is final” the ninetales realizing that like many talks before nothing could change her son’s mind

“Very well but be sure to think of something besides just follow him until he throws a pokeball at you. I want something more creative then that.” I really shouldn’t have named him matt, it means born explore and boy does he travel. With that matt leaves mumbling about plane A or is it going to be a plan B and so the ninetales just goes back to tell his father that their son has finally started his adventure with a human...

Matt meanwhile (the human) was sitting at the table having a conversation with his father

“Dad, can you tell me again, what happened at the lab?”

“Matt there was a break in at Professor Wood’s lab and they where able to steal one pokemon meaning that there short this year. Professor Wood sent this letter explaining everything while you where knocked out.”

“So looks like I have to wait another year.” Matt said sadly “After six years of waiting for doctor’s approval I’m stuck because of some greedy crook.”

“Yes it seems that way but mind you he did send you some pokeballs and also your pokedex but he says that you need to wait a year now unless you can get a baby or one from us, and you know how we feel about that.”

“Yes I know I must have my own team and none given from family for battling.”

At that the father handed over Matt’s packed bag with the pokeball in their respective pouch and the said “Why don’t we go home we can stop at our little eatery on the way down.”

“What about Mom and Ethan, where are they?”

“They went off to those caves you found last time we were here. Besides I think they wanted it so us trainers could talk.”

Matt gets up along with his father and after putting on the pack gives his dad a hug “Thanks dad your great both with pokemon and kids.”

Now when father and son left the first aid station they decided to head to the caves to join the other two in exploring them so they left on a trail. A few minutes later matt turned around and for the fifth time yelled at the two vulpixs to “get out of here” and “stop following me” but they seemed determined to follow him ever since he left the cabin his father just laughed thinking that they where playing a game. later through some tall grass with matt right behind his dad so that he wouldn’t be attacked, he had just past a boulder and matt was just right beside it when he felt two weights hit him side by side making him go down and as he fell the pouch containing pokeballs tore open spilling the seven pokeballs that he had received from the professor and dad. Matt then hits the ground in a soft pile of dirt that some pokemon had spread about; he could tell he saw the paw prints and then he turn himself around to see and hear an argument going between two vulpix’s over a the pokeballs and as one said something matt would turn his head to the speaker and when the other spoke he turned to listen to the other. He couldn’t understand the conversation but he was taught that it was always polite to focus on the person who was speaking. Also matt’s father then helped him up and starting to watch too. Matt meanwhile was picking up the spilled pokeballs that rolled everywhere.

(A/N) I will translate for you readers again but I must find a way to tell you when its pokemon speaking if you have ideas tell me

“Ok firestorm thanks for helping rip open the pouch for the pokeballs now if you stand aside I will become his first traveling partner.”

“No your not matt I have to come to keep you in order besides someone needs to keep you in order and not let you get lost.”

“What so I happen to lose my way when I was younger big deal I’m better now”

“Yeah that was last month that you go US lost, and it was me who found the way back.”

This type of back and forth went on until matt tried picking up the pokeball that they were arguing over and this caused them to stop look at each other exchange small word and then one jumped knocking matt’s arm spilling the pokeballs and they then tackled there own pokeballs causing the red energy to suck them into their respective pokeballs catching them. This as soon as it was done caused both father and son to sweat drop and look at each other

“I guess they weren’t playing a game like follow the leader.” But matt just exploded

“Dad what am I going to do its illegal to catch pokemon here especially those that are rare, what am I going to do father?” he moaned the last part

“Well you could just pick up the pokeballs and explain the story to a ranger and then they would understand, it’s rare but pokemon sometimes do this.”

“Yes but not after they knock you down ripe open my bag, and then when I try cleaning up the pokeballs one of then jumps against my arm and spills all them again, now in the end I have two pokemon to deal with.”

“HAHAHAHA in that case we’ll gladly take them off of you and leave you worry free.”

“That’s right or do you want another beedrill hug?”

With these words the tow crooks jump out of the shadows and the pidgey lands on Violets shoulder.

“Hand over that vulpix that destroyed my beautiful hair and I won’t hurt you.”

Matt’s father jumps in front of his son and said in a controlled voice “I won’t let you harm my son, you disgraceful people, thinking that you can harm humans to get what you want, you should know we take longer to heal then pokemon do.”

“Old man you have just asked for a battle and you shall fell our wrath.” At this Garth throw a pokeball “Raticate go.” Violet then said “Beedrill go after that kid and ignore that man standing in front.”

“I don’t think so I choose you Alakazam I need you to stop that beedrill in its tracks.”

With that Alakazam popped out and used a psychic attack to first stop the beedrill then he sent it flying it into the raticate and that caused them to fly into the trio causing them to land into a heap and also knocking off Fred’s translator in the process.

“Okay now I choose you Magneton do a Thunder shock to them seeing that it’s the only way to send them flying” the magneton after appearing starting building up its energy

Violet and Garth: “oh no not good”

“Maggggggnnneton” with that the magnet pokemon unblessed a super strong attack sending the trio into the air including the translator which knocked the pidgey on the head.
