Adventure in Hoenn

"Alright, let's get you guys packed up." I said, setting the bags down. I pulled out each of their backpacks, and put their tents, and sleeping bags in there. Then I distributed the food evenly between each of them.

"Alright we're good to go." I said, handing each their bags. Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, and Applejack all put theirs on immediately, but Fluttershy seemed to be having trouble putting on a backpack made for humans.

"Let me help." I said. "O-Okay. T-Thanks." she said, blushing as I helped her put her arms, or legs as it were, through the straps on the backpack. I stood up, and said, "Alright time to go." As I started walking I heard them talking behind me.

"What's with you Fluttershy? You've been acting weird ever since we got here." Rainbow Dash asked. "N-Nothing." Fluttershy said quickly. "Mhm. Sure." Rainbow Dash said. We reached the end of the town, and I said, "I'm hoping that we can beat that storm cloud that's been rolling in."

They nodded, and we started walking. By lunch time, we sat down, tired, and ate. I had bought a jar of pickles at the store, so I pulled that out for a snack. "Hey what are those?" Twilight asked. "They're pickles." I said.

"They're what?" she asked. "Cucumbers soaked in vinegar basically." I said. "Oh." she said. "Want one?" I asked. She nodded, and I gave her one. "Hey, I want one too." said Rainbow Dash. "And me." said Pinkie. "Ah'd like one too." said Applejack.

I handed them all a pickle, and munched down on my own. "Wow. These are good. Can I have another?" asked Pinkie. "Sure, help yourselves." I said. By the time lunch was over all of my pickles had been eaten. I sighed. I had wanted to save at least one.

"Let's go." I told them, getting up. We packed up, and started walking again. A few hours later we came within site of the Professor's lab. That was good, because it decided at that exact moment to start raining. "Everyone run." I said, running towards the house.

They followed behind, and as soon as we reached the Professors, we ran under the porch. I knocked on the door, and Professor Birch opened it not much longer. "Gabriel! What are you doing here?" he asked. "That's a long story. Could we come in?" I asked.

"Of course." he said. He brought us into the kitchen, and said, "Let me get you something warm to drink." He pulled out a kettle, and started boiling some water. "Alright." he said, sitting down. "Why are you here, and what are those strange pokemon?" he asked.

"That's just it. They're not pokemon." I said. "Then what are they?" he asked (One long story later) "I see." said Professor Birch. "I was hoping that with your knowledge of these pokemon, that you might be able to help us get back home." Twilight said.

"Hmm. I'm sorry Twilight, but I just don't see how I could help." he said. "That's alright." Twilight said. "Anyways, now we have four new trainers on our hands." I said. "That's all well and good, but we only have 3 pokemon." Professor Birch said.

"That's alright darling. I already have a pokemon." Rarity said. "I see. So you told me." Professor Birch said. "So I guess there's no better time than the present. Let's show Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack the starter pokemon." I said.

"Alright then." said Professor Birch, leading the way into his lab. He opened a case, and pulled out three pokeballs. "There's treeko, a grass type." he said, releasing treeko from it's pokeball. "There's mudkip a water type." he said releasing mudkip. "And then there's torchic, a fire type." he said releasing it from it's pokeball.

"Now take your pick." he told them.
