Brothers? (Open)

[Kyle Chaplin]

The sun was coming over the mountains in the distance. It was a morning of a VERY important day. Today, was the day a certain trainer would get his first Pokemon. As the sunlight enters the Pokemon accessorized room of the young Kyle Chaplin something begins to rise under the covers... a butt. Kyle lay asleep in his bed, his tooshy raised into the air. A bit of drool hung from the comfortable smile that was on his face. His room was a mess and it was covered in memorabilia from all sorts of tournaments and famous Pokemon sites.

An interesting smell loomed in the air. It was like a mixture of food... and stank. Pokemon stank to be precise. Kyle's mom was downstairs cooking breakfast for Kyle along with about 14 different breakfasts for the pokemon she took care of. She was amazing at this. With one hand she would stir Kyle's food and with the other she would stir the poke'chow. Kyle doesn't really have a home town in any region. His family traveled around constantly throughout all of Kyle's relatively short life so far.

Kyle's mother called up from the first floor. " KYLE!" She yelled. " Come down and eat or you'll be late!" Kyle's eyes shot open with a flash. LATE?! He thought. Kyle jumped out of bed and rushed to the closet to get his clothing. He was not going to go out in his slowpoke boxers! That is no way to start your Pokemon journey in a new region. Kyle grew up around Pokemon all his life. His mother is a breeder after all. He loved them ever sense he was small and he wouldn't know how to live without them. Though despite this, he has yet to have a Pokemon of his own. Kyle was suppose to get his Pokemon at ten years old but he was unable to sign up for his Pokemon license due to him not being in each region for an elongated amount of time. Yet because of the migrational habits Kyle's mother has settled down here in turnstone. And with rumors of a league starting in Kyozon it seemed to be the right time. Kyle was going to go to the professor for a Pokemon!

Kyle was dressed and on his way downstairs. Kyle's mother warned him, " If you are going to be late like this every morning you'll have a hard time training your Pokemon!" Kyle grabbed his breakfast. "I know. Sorry mom." Kyle was about to take a bite of his food when a distinct odor entered his nose... Kyle quickly came to realize... he grabbed the wrong breakfast... A Grimmer moved on up to Kyle's leg with a sad face on. Someone wanted their breakfast... Kyle slowly lowered it and asked for his own breakfast. His mother abliged and sent him on his way to the lab. He was off to meet a new friend!

Kyle showed up ourside the lab. His shaggy hair blew slightly in the wind as his jacket hung down. Kyle smiled and ran inside. He peeked his head in and who would be waiting there? A small red headed professor. " Ah... you must be Kyle, correct?" She asked. Kyle blushed... He had a thing... something he couldn't control... it was almost reactory... he couldn't help but be smitten by red heads. She was very pretty and much older than him despite their practically even height. Kyle was silent for a little while as his cheeks became as red as her hair. Professor Willow looked at him and cocked her head. " Umm... Mr. Chaplin? You okay?" Kyle snapped out of it and walked in nervously. "Uhh... y-yes! Im Kyle. I hear you are giving out Pokemon to beginners?" The professor smiled a sweet smile. "Yes. You're in the right place." She turned around pressed a button. An array of Poke'balls appeared on a shelf in front of them both. She smiled. " Here you are. Its your choice."

Kyle looked up at the large array... there were so many to choose... Kyle did what came naturally to him... cover his eyes and point around. Willow began to laugh a little. " Well thats one way to pick i guess." Kyle smiled back peaking through his fingers " well the one who will be my partner will need to be special... picked by fate. I will find it either way!" Kyle smiled as he re-covered his eyes. Then he stopped and looked. He pointed at one ball in particular. It seemed to be shining as it sat on the shelf. Kyle smiled. "Its that one." Willow smiled... she walked over to the ball and grabbed it. " Good choice." She handed the ball to Kyle and he grabbed it. With a smile he tossed the ball. "Pokemon! Come out!"

With a large flash of light the pokeball opened! The light formed a round ball of sorts. But it was off, and elongated. Then Kyle realized... It was a shell! The pokemon was formed. Its orange shell glistened as Kyle came to realize what it was. " A squirtle!" Kyle exclaimed. He walked up to the Pokemon, who was in its shell. " Hello, little buddy. Helloooo" Kyle looked into the shell just to see a blue mound inside... then the blue mount got close. The squirtle's head shot out and slamed into Kyle's head! Kyle fell back on his butt and held his head. " Ooowwww" The quirtle jumped out and held its head as well. " Squuuiiiirrrrr!" Willow began laughing.

Squirtle looked around. This was a new place for him. He turned around and looked at Kyle. He walked up to the boy who was on the ground. Kyle looked up at his new buddy. The squirtle gave Kyle a cock of its head and its big eyes met Kyle's. When their eyes met it was like it was ment to be. Kyle moved in and gave the new pokemon a big hug. " Oh you are so cute! I love it! Your so cool! Ahhh!" Willow thought it was sweet... but the squirtle didn't as it show a large squirt of water at Kyle's face.

Kyle cleaned off his face and then looked back at the pokemon. The squirtle was laying down on the floor. It scratched its shell a little. "Heh heh. Yeah. This squirtle has promise... but it may take a little skill to train it successfully." Willow said. " He's a bit... lazy... You sure its the Pokemon for you?" Kyle got up and looked at Willow. She had a 'im sorry' face on. Kyle's cheeks flushed up again. He walked to Willow and held her hands. "No!" Kyle exclaimed. "I will train it! I know how to handle a bad attitude Pokemon. Im going to be a breeder and master trainer when i get older! I promise!!!" Willow smiled confused. "O-okay..."

As Kyle left the lab Willow waved goodbye. The squirtle was back in its ball. Kyle walked out to a bench and sat down. "Come out Squirtle!" Squirtle shot out of its Pokeball. It was in its shell again. It looked to Kyle from inside it shell. "Hey there buddy. My names Kyle!" Kyle exclaimed trying to connect with his new pokemon. Squirtle just looked at him... then went back into its shell and off to sleep.... "Hey!" Kyle yelled as he moved up to his new Pokemon. " Hey. You know im your trainer. Shouldn't you pay at least SOME attention to me?" The squirtle just kept sleeping. Kyle sighed. He picked the shell up and sat down on the bench. The shell was in his lap. He rubbed it. It was hard... yet felt malleable. It was obvious this squirtle was VERY young. Almost infant. Kyle smiled. " My first Pokemon!" He thought. "What to name you though?... hmm..." Kyle thought for a while... then he snapped his fingers. " Ive got it! I'll call you Barrel! YOu like that?" Barrel moved his head out and looked at Kyle. He laid his head on Kyle's lap. I guess he liked it. Kyle felt so happy. He sat down with his Pokemon and they enjoyed the morning. There journey would begin today.

Just an hour before, Zane was out catching his newest pokemon in Turnstone forest, both of which were of the bug type. The young trainer now had them out to experience the city for the first time after visiting the Poke'center to give them a quick heal before setting out to do some more exploring. His Spinarak, which he had shortened to Arak, was up playing around in his semi-long hair. For Zane it was an extremely peculiar feeling having the six legs shift through his hair, as if it were webbing. Then another idea came to mind, his eyes widened. "Arak, I hope your not spreading any web inside my hair, I will be very angry if you are." he threatened and could feel the bug stiffen for a second. But then Arak settled into his hair, as if he had found just the right spot. Soon enough, all one could see of the Poke'mon was it's horn sticking out of the dirty blonde hair.

His new Caterpie, however, sat on his shoulder looking quite regal. Using his back pods, he perched himself in the air like a noble would stick his nose into the air. Zane had noticed this attitude immediately at the Poke'center when he had let him out of the Poke'ball for the first time. At first, the worm pokemon peeked around the room to see if anyone was threatening him, and then looked at Zane who was smiling. It's careful nature made the new trainer smile, and Caterpie had a complex. He quickly assumed to nose-in-the-air position and began berated Zane with a complex set of Pokemon words that he couldn't understand. It must have been annoying because Arak shot string shot towards the worms mouth to shut him up. In response, Caterpie jumped forward and began to wrestle with the other bug, right in the Poke'center! Thankfully, Zane got them separated and got them to make peace, even though he sensed that they would always be at war. Could be that the two were rivals in themselves.

Nevertheless, Zane came upon Kyle and his squirtle sitting at the bench. Caterpie looked from his shoulder at the other pokemon with caution, while Arak could have cared less, continuing to nap inside of his hair, the horn glinting in the light. "Let's get these guys used to seeing other Poke'mon. he thought. As he grew closer, Caterpie seemed to back slowly down his back just in case the squirtle was hostile. Zane raised a hand. "Oi there, mind if we have a seat?" he said, and would sit if he was given the ok. If not...then he would be on his merry way. "I'm Zane a trainer, mind if my Poke'mon and I hang with you? They are new to me and I want them to meet another trainer." he requested with a kind smile.

[Kyle Chaplin]

Kyle sat on the bench with his new friend quietly. It was a nice day today. The lab was about a mile from his house anyway so Kyle decided a little bit of a rest was needed. Maybe Barrels Laziness was wiping off on him. His first really Pokemon... it almost brought a tear to his eye... that is it would if he wasn't so pumped about FINALLY become a pokemon trainer! He wondered what kind of people they would meet. What type of friends they would make. Kyle's mind wandered as it does now and again.

That was when Kyle heard a voice. He turned to see what it was. There stood a boy... with two bug pokemon crawling all over him. This caught Kyle's attention... uh... destinctly. The skin on the bad of his neck began to crawl and Kyle began to scratch it... The boy walked over and asked to sit down. " S-sure go ahead!" Kyle said gladly. Kyle needed to calm down... he couldn't let his secret out... the secret... that he was wierded out by the little buggers... he was creeped out be the creepy crawlies... Kyle was afraid of bug Pokemon! It wasn't like get up and run away fear or anything... no. They just gave his the creeps. He could be around them, he would even nervously pet them if he needed to... he would just have the urge to itch... badly!

Kyle tried not to make it to obvious. " Hey. Im Kyle! W-wow you have two pokemon already? I just got mine." Kyle poked Barrel on the head. " This lazy bumb is Barrel. Say hi Barrel!" Barrel ignored Kyle and continued to sleep. "Heh... key words being just got he isn't quite use to me as a trainer yet. He seems to enjoy sleeping..." Kyle looked at Zane's Pokemon. " T-those are some c-cool Pokemon you got there too. You must be a good trainer. Who are they?" Kyle asked scratching various parts of his body as discreetly as he can. He would do it so Zane wouldn't notice.

[Zophiel]

With the stuttering response, Zane moved to sit nearby and his Caterpie grew curious about this new human it was meeting. Quickly hopping off onto the bench that Zane has sat down upon, the little worm made his way to the ground and crawled to the mid-point between the two trainers. Peering up at the stranger, Zane looked with a small smile. "That's right Caterpie. Make sure he is friendly before approaching." he thought and turned his eyes to Kyle's own iris'.

As this acquaintance introduced himself and his pokemon, he revealed that he was a new trainer just like Zane. "Don't worry, most poke'mon need some time before you can begin bonding with them." he said. Knowing he himself been just a few hours earlier, the blonde teen was sure that if this other guy had gone out he would surely catch a pokemon just as easily. Still, the praise was appreciated when Kyle continued to compliment him in a stuttering manner. He even inquired what kind of poke'mon they were. "So you really are as new as me. he thought. Zane began his reply. "Well the little Caterpie before you is just known as that. But Arak hiding up here, is a Spinarak." he explained shaking his hair and uncovering the spider like poke'mon who seemed to be hiding. "Embarrased Arak?" he questioned. The Spinarak made various bug noises and quickly covered itself in hair; Zane figured he felt at home there when outside his ball.

Only noticing the stuttering in his voice, Zane had realized the scratching that Kyle was doing. Instead he just kept on talking. "But don't go calling me a good trainer, I nearly got my Abra wounded in the fight to catch Spinarak." Then it occured that Kyle might have wanted to see Abra. Taking the poke'ball that the Psi Pokemon filled, he tossed it to the ground to summon him. The Abra soon appeared on the bench sitting next to Zane; it slept calmly without moving. "This is him, he is like your Squirtle, pretty much sleeps all day!" Zane laughed.

[Kyle Chaplin]

The Caterpie... was getting closer! Kyle got a little more itchy as it inched closer to him. He just didn't like the little guys. He would have to deal though... maybe this guy was a bug trainer. Didn't want to offend him. The trainer talked to his Pokemon and Kyle listened. Ever once and a while looking down to make sure Barrel was still breathing. It was unhealthy for it to sleep all day! That was when Zane mentioned an Abra. " Wait?" Kyle said in surprise. " You have an Abra? Aren't those pretty rare!?" Kyle was amazed. He had always heard there was no fighting an Abra you either caught it right away or it teleported away! " That sounds so cool! Can i see him?" Maybe he will call the bug back too.

he Abra came out of his ball. It was so cool. Kyle admired it from all over. It would be obvious to Zane Kyle was a pokemaniac. " Huh. This one is in good condition." He's either brand new or you really are a good trainer. Kyle said. Barrel got up and walked over to Abra who was asleep... He stared for a second... then joined him. They lay next to each other sleeping their lazy butts off. Kyle laughed. " Oh brother.. they are exactly the same!" Kyle looked over to Zane. "Almost like brother's huh? Just of two different types."

[Zophiel]

It was a bit strange seeing Kyle examining Abra in a somewhat obsessive nature. "Kinda weird..." he thought looking toward Abra. The poke'mon was either to lazy to care, or just didn't mind it at all. He was busy sleeping! "Well we just got back from the Poke'center, so if that counts as being a good trainer, then all right!" Zane said with a hearty laugh. Then he watched the Squirtle come over and basically fall over onto the ground asleep. Zane's eye brow rose at the act and looked forward to here what Kyle had to say. "Yea kinda, at least mine can do stuff while he sleeps though. Seems you just have a sleeping log." Zane couldn't help but emit. However, Abra's hand made it's way to Squirtle head and laid there, as if declaring their friendship through sleep. But then Zane looked up into the sky to see where the sun was and smirked. "Well it looks high time that I got going to see what my new poke'mon can do. Train train train, it's the life of a trainer. Maybe I'll see your around Kyle?" he asked before returning the sleeping Abra to walk away.
