Hi. I'm Super Glitch, and this is my first fic. Basically, it's Dawn's journey through Sinnoh, when she isn't chosen as the player character. I got inspiration for this fic while reading Gastly's Mama's 'Rivals Story". I hope you like it.

Chapter 1 - Turtwig

Chapter 4 - Bidoof - Coming Soon!

Chapter 1
“Dawn, help me out over here” called Professor Rowan. “I can’t get this box of Pokédexes out of this suitcase.”

“Sure, Rowan” Dawn mumbled moodily. She finished positioning Rowan’s Pokémon textbooks on the bookshelf, then went over to help.

“And stop acting so moodily” said Rowan. “You weren’t so grumpy back then. You know, when I left, you were only 6 years old. I wonder what your dear mother Johanna has been doing lately. I better go check…”

Rowan kept droning on. Dawn rolled her eyes and knelt down to pull out the box that supposedly contained Pokédexes. She gave it a little twist and it came out easily. Far too easily. She held it up. It fitted quite snugly in her left hand. Being a ten year old girl, this wasn’t too big. It was also light. If Rowan had managed to fit a Pokédex in there it would be a fair bit heavier than this. Dawn frowned suspiciously. She slowly lifted the lid off the small wooden box, and carefully peered inside. Instead of Pokédexes, it was a small red and white ball, with a little circular button on the side. Dawn immediately recognized it as a Pokéball, used for storing Pokémon.

“Happy Birthday!” shouted Rowan. “That Pokéball contains Turtwig, a Grass-type Pokémon. I met it in Kanto. A kind boy named Ethan traded it to me. I hope you like it!”

“Rowan…” started Dawn.

“Oh yes! I got you something else as well!” cried Rowan.

“Rowan…” Dawn said again, but the excited Professor cut her off yet again.

“It’s a Pokétch!” yelled Rowan “The latest design! It’s got an app that shows the time, and one that shows your battle team, and…”

“ROWAN!!!” shouted Dawn.

“Yes?” asked Rowan, in a normal voice.

“My birthday was three months ago” answered Dawn.

“Was it?” inquired Rowan.

“Yes, Rowan” Dawn huffed. “Y’know, you really need to start paying attention.”

“I went to all this trouble to get you a Pokémon, and this is how you pay me back!?” cried Rowan. Dawn could tell he was getting a bit annoyed, so she decided to stop stirring him up. Once Rowan had calmed down a bit, he decided to go for a walk.

“Could you come with me Dawn?” he asked.

“Why?” she answered.

“To protect me from wild Pokémon” he said. “They can attack at any time.”

“Can’t you just go over the ledges?” she asked.

“Indeed I can…” realised Rowan. “But come anyway. Just in case.”

“Okay, I guess…” said Dawn, but she was a bit suspicious.

“I’ll give you time to see your Pokémon. Catch up to me.” Rowan stated, and closed the door behind him.

“OK…” said Dawn, uncertainly. “Um, go Turtwig?”

Dawn tossed the ball up in the air, and it exploded in a flash of light. A small, green turtle appeared. It was about the length of her forearm, and had a stupid leaf on it’s head. Dawn stared blankly at it for a few seconds before she fell on her back and started laughing at it’s stupidity. Then she felt a sharp pain on the back of her head.
“Ow!” she cried.

Dawn looked down and saw her Pokémon, Turtwig, staring up at her angrily. It snorted, and tackled her leg.

“Ow!” Dawn cried again. “That hurts! But if that hurt me so much, then how much would it hurt a Pokémon! You must be a strong battler!”

Dawn knelt down and tried to pick it up, but it withdrew into its shell, and refused to be picked up. Dawn rolled her eyes, pulled out Turtwig’s Pokéball and sucked it in. She sat down and thought. Turtwig was obviously a very strong Pokémon. But it wouldn’t be any use to her if it wouldn’t obey her. How could she make it more friendly? Apparently there was some person in Veilstone who gave your Pokémon massages to make them happier, but Veilstone was on the other side of Sinnoh, so that wasn’t much use. Apparently when Pokémon win battles, they become happier, but with a disobedient Pokémon, that wasn’t very helpful. If you walk with Pokémon, they become happier as well, but you have to do a lot of it, and you get so puffed, it usually isn’t worth it. Dawn realised she was in a dilemma. If Turtwig wouldn’t do anything for her, she wouldn’t even be able to catch a Pokémon, which would suck like hell. Then she jolted up out of the chair, remembering where she was supposed to be. She charged down to the lake, jumping ledges, instead of walking through the grass. She passed through the entrance to the lake, and saw Rowan standing at the waters edge, briefcase at his side, muttering to himself about something.

“Uh, Rowan?” asked Dawn.

“Yes, Dawn?”

“What are we doing here?”

“I don’t know. I just felt compelled to come here. It just felt… right.”

“Sure, Sure.”

Then Dawn heard a sound coming from the lakes entrance. She turned around, and saw a tall, blond boy with a stupid haircut walk in. He was followed by a dark haired boy with a red beret. He was wearing a black polo and light blue cargo pants. He also had a thin red scarf around his neck. There was no mistaking it: he was hot. In Dawn’s opinion, at least.

“Hey, Lucas, do you think we’re going to find a red Gyarados?” Blondie asked his friend. Lucas shrugged.

So that’s his name. Dawn thought.

“Dawn, we’re going now” said Rowan.

“OK” said Dawn, then turned to the boys. “Make way for the Professor.”

Lucas and his friend stepped to the side, to allow Rowan to pass through. Dawn passed Lucas a wink as she went past.

“Hey, Lucas” Blondie asked his friend. “Why did she wink at you?”

Lucas shrugged again.

“She was pretty though, wasn’t she?” Blondie asked.

Lucas shrugged again.

“Hey, what’s that!” exclaimed Blondie. “It looks like that old guy left his suitcase here! Lets get it and give it back to him!”

Blondie and Lucas walked over to the edge of the long grass. Blondie was about to step in when Lucas stopped him. Lucas made some hand gestures.

“Why shouldn’t we go in the long grass?” Blondie asked.

Lucas gestured some more.

“What? Wild Pokémon? We won’t be in there long enough anyway, Lucas” said Blondie. “Come on!”

Blondie grabbed Lucas and they walked into the grass together. They were lucky enough getting up to the briefcase, but when they did get there, two Starly leapt out of the bushes and attacked.

“Oh crap!” yelled Blondie. Lucas knelt down and opened the suitcase. There were three Pokéballs inside.

“Erm, which one do you want?” asked Blondie, whose real name was Barry.

Lucas reached in and pulled out a Pokéball. He threw the Pokéball in the air, and Chimchar, the Chimp Pokémon came out. Lucas smiled, and commanded it to attack the Starly. Meanwhile, Barry had pulled out a Pokéball containing Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon, and commanded a Growl attack. The two boys easily defeated the two Starling Pokémon. Just then, Dawn came rushing in.

“Did you use those Pokémon?” asked Dawn.

“There were wild Starly and they…” Barry started, but Dawn cut him off.

“I don’t care if you were attacked!” Dawn screamed. “The Professor won’t be happy!”

Dawn stormed away with the briefcase. How dare they use the Professors Pokémon? He had gone to so much effort to raise them, and they just start using them? It angered her a lot. She stormed back to the Professor, in Sandgem Town. She burst through the door, in a fit of rage. She wasn't really all that sure why though.

“They used them!” she screamed.

“Pardon?” said Rowan.

“The two boys at the lake. They used the Pokémon in the briefcase!” Dawn shouted.

Just then, Barry burst through the door.

“I’m sorry Professor Rowan!” he yelled apologetically.

“What for?” asked Rowan.

“For using your Pokémon” answered Barry.

“Oh, it’s fine” replied Rowan. “You can keep it. But on one condi…”

“Ok, thanks, bye!” shouted Barry, and he charged out the door.

Then Lucas walked in. He walked up to Rowan and passed him a note his mother wrote for him. Rowan took it and read it aloud. It said:
Dear Prof. Rowan,
My son Lucas is very sorry for what happened at the lake. He needed to use your Pokémon to protect himself and his friend. I hope you understand.
Love from, Lucas’s mother.

Rowan finished reading, and looked up at Lucas. Lucas smiled weakly.

“Well, Lucas” said Rowan. “I think you can keep that Pokémon, but under one condition. Take this.”

Rowan passed Lucas a strange red thing. It had a touch screen, and a couple of buttons. Lucas frowned at it uncertainly.

“It’s a Pokédex” Rowan explained. “It stores data on every Pokémon in existence. Nowadays Lucas, I’m too old to go gallivanting off on an adventure whenever it’s suits my fancy. I want you to travel around the region, and collect data on every Pokémon in Sinnoh, for my research.”

Lucas smiled and nodded in approval. Then he turned around and left. Then Dawn realised something, and ran off after him.
Rowan turned to his assistant.

“Funny little girl, isn’t she?” he asked.

The assistant nodded.

Re: Dawn of a New Era

When writing a fic based on a game charecter, teams are the best parts. :)
Anyway how about droping bidoof/bibarel off at day care fo a bit? Catching abra beside jublife city and geting clefa mt mortar? (I think you can get 'em there)
As for the flying type... togikiss? noctowl? drifblim? whatever :)

Problem with Bidoof at daycare, is that she needs to ditch it before coming back through Jubilife. I'm pretty sure Mt. Mortar is in Kanto though...Unless you meant Coronet. And I'm going by D/P storyline and Dex, so Togekiss wouldn't work. I like Drifblim and Noctowl though.

Sorry I got confused XD
Bidoof in PC? it's just that if it evolved you have a water type. Ponyta for fire type maybe? It's just if your following d/p dex there only is two fire types (chimchar and ponyta)
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era

Hmmm... I guess she kinda has to have Ponyta then... I like the idea of Bibarel for Water type though.
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era

Flying-type should be a Starly. Or one of the common types. You could give her something rare like a Togekiss, but you'd have to explain it well.

Besides that, the only problem I see with your fic is the lack of puncutation at the end of some quoted sentences.

Also, your fic basically seems like the transcript of a game, and that doesn't usually make for very... interesting reading, unless you go way out of your way to make it so.

There yah go. Good chapter, but please put spaces between paragraphs, like:
Paragraph

Paragraph

That makes it much easier to read and look less daunting like a wall of text.

Starly doesn't work. You'll see why. And, the plot will start focusing on Dawn soon.
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era

final team suggestion:

Torterra Bibarrel Froslass
Vespiquen Luxray Drifblim

she doesnt necessarily have too keep all the pokemon shes seen to have does she? I like the idea of her having all sinnoh pokemon (which unfortunately restricts her ability to have a fire pokemon, but youve got grass water ground ghost ice bug electric and flying, can learn surf and fly,
bug can beat down grass as well as fire can.
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era

Ok...
This is probably necrobumping, but I have started working on this fic again. I have decided Dawn's Team in it's entirety, and I should have Chapter Two up by Sunday (EST). Also, in the tag battles alongside Lucas against TG, she does own more Pokemon than in the game, but the ones she has in the game are the only ones she actually uses in that battle.

Re: Dawn of a New Era

You should leave Bidoof with Professor Rohan. But have a reason to leave it behind ofcourse. How about it takes an instant liking to Rohan and doesn't want to leave? Or Rohan asks her to leave it behind so he can study.

EDIT: And wow, did you give up on this fic a while back? lol, I just noticed the distance between posts.

Yeah, and I'm starting again.
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era - Restarting!

knew you read my fic, thought I'd return the favour

apparently I should have picked the other one (I'll probably give it a read too anyway), as this one only has one chapter. I was expecting it to be a 'Rival's Story' wannabe, but it's actually really good :) love flirty Dawn, nice new take on a supposedly innocent character :p keep it up :)
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era - Restarting!

Chapter 2
Dawn rushed out of the lab, and down the street, where Lucas was about to step in the long grass to head up to Jubilife.

“Lucas, stop!” she called.

Lucas turned, and stared at her with a quizzical look on his face.

“Would you like me to show you around town?” she asked.

Lucas thought for a moment, then nodded his head in approval.

“Come on then!” said Dawn, and she led Lucas back into town.

“Well, um, this orange building here is the PokéCenter” explained Dawn. “The nurses in there will heal your Pokémon. There is also a PC box, for when you catch a Pokémon that you don’t want on your team.”

“And this is the PokéMart. In there you can buy items like Pokéballs and Potions.”

“And then, this is my house. If you ever need anything, just give me a shout!”

Dawn finished explaining and looked over to Lucas. He was listening intently to every word she had said. Dawn smiled. Lucas smiled. There was an awkward silence. Then Dawn realised something.

“Oh!” Dawn exclaimed. “Lucas! You need to tell your mum where you’re going! She’d get worried if you didn’t!”

Lucas’s eyes opened wide, and then he rushed back down Route 201, and waved to Dawn as he went. Dawn sighed, and turned back into the lab.

“Dawn!” Rowan exclaimed. “There you are! I was waiting for you to come back. I have a task for you.”

“Yeah, what?” asked Dawn.

“I want you to take this.” he said, and handed Dawn a Pokédex. “I assume you know how it works?”

“Yeah, I do, but why are you giving it to me?” asked Dawn.

“Dawn.” said Rowan. “I want you to go with them. I want you to travel Sinnoh as well, and collect Pokédex data as well. You have a Pokémon. And you have knowledge of Pokémon. Go, Dawn.”

“Um… ok, sure!” said Dawn, and walked out of the lab.

Dawn walked down the ‘street’, and was about to walk up onto Route 202, when a horrible sight met her eyes. Two people were standing at the beginning of the route, standing opposite each other. One was a young boy, no more than 8 years of age, with a blue t-shirt, and blue jeans. His straw blond hair was messy, long and unkempt, and he was brushing it out of his eyes every five or so seconds. He had a frightened expression on his face, and it wasn’t difficult to tell why. Standing opposite him was a tall, blue haired man wearing what looked like a spacesuit. He had a very stern expression on his face, and in his hand was a purple and white Pokéball, with a small white ‘M’ out the front.

“Give me your Pokémon!” the man commanded, and pointed to the young boys pocket, which was bulging.

“No!” The boy replied. He seemed to have quite an adamant personality.

“If that’s the way your going to be, then so be it. I guess I’ll have to battle you for it!” the man cried.

“Fine!” the young boy shouted. “But if I win, you have to leave me and my family alone!”

The man did not respond to this, and instead pressed the button on the front of the purple Pokéball he was holding, expanding it to full size.

“Gible, teach this boy a lesson!” he yelled, and tossed the ball. it exploded in the air, and shot out a beam of blue light, which hit the ground and materialized into a small purple Pokémon, about the height of Dawn’s knee. It had a large blue fin protruding from the back of its head, with a small notch on the end of it. At the base of the fin were two horns resembling jet engines. But it’s most notable feature was it’s enormous mouth. It was so massive, that it was hard to imagine the creature having a stomach at all. The mouth was filled with many razor sharp teeth, which looked like they could bite your arm off with no trouble at all. It growled menacingly at the boy, causing him to gulp in fear. But the man simply smiled.

“Scared, are we?” he asked.

“Never!” the boy shouted, and pulled an ordinary red and white Pokéball out of his pocket and expanded it to full size, then tossed it. “Go, Heracross!”

The ball exploded to reveal a large blue bug-like Pokémon with a large horn protruding from it’s head, and yellow eyes.

“Cross!” it cried.

Dawn had seen Heracross before, but she’d never seen Gible before. She silently pulled out her Pokédex, set the volume to low, and scanned Gible.

“Gible the Land Shark Pokémon,” the Pokédex said in a metallic female voice. “It nests in small, horizontal holes in cave walls. It pounces to catch prey that stray too close.”

Dawn nodded, then silently switched the Pokédex off, and turned back to the battle. She was eager to see how this played out.

“Heracross, use Horn Attack!” the boy commanded, and his Heracross obeyed by lowering its head and charging towards Gible, intending to strike it with its horn.

“Dodge it Gible!” the man ordered, and his Pokémon stepped nimbly to the side, and Heracross slammed head-first into a tree, dealing itself a lot of damage. Gible grinned maliciously.

“Hit it with Toxic!” the man shouted, and Gible complied, opening its mouth and shot out a blob of poisonous purple goo, which hit Heracross in the head. Immediately it began to look sick, and doubled over, clutching its stomach.

“Heracross!” the boy shouted, concerned for his Pokémon’s wellbeing.

“Aerial Ace!” Gible’s trainer yelled.

Dawn scoffed. Aerial Ace was a move that involved the user flying to hit its opponent, and Dawn seriously doubted that that fat little shark could jumped more than ten centimetres, let alone fly, but she was proved wrong, and Gible sprang up into the air, then shot towards its opponent at breakneck pace, leaving a white trail behind it.

“Dodge it!” the boy shouted, and Heracross attempted to leap out of the way, but Gible was too fast. Gible smashed into Heracross hard, and it was knocked backwards at an incredible speed, straight into another tree. Dawn cringed. Heracross was both a Bug and a Fighting type, both of which were weak to Flying type moves like Aerial Ace. Along with the damage it had sustained from smashing into the tree and Toxic, Dawn didn’t think it could possibly survive this. But the was proved wrong for a second time, and Heracross shakily rose to it’s feet, then fell straight back down again as the poisoning took hold.

“It’s very persistent, I see,” the man noted. “No matter. Gible, finish it off with Flamethrower!”

“No!” the young boy cried out. But Gible ignored him, and shot a massive stream of fire out of its oversized mouth. The jet of fire hit Heracross hard, and it was engulfed in flames. This proved too much for Heracross, and it fainted instantly.

“No!” the boy repeated, and ran over to his Pokémon and started checking it’s pulse. After he concluded that it was going to live, he recalled it to its Pokéball, then turned to face Gible’s trainer.

“How can you do that? You could have killed him!”

But the man simply grunted.

“Kill the boy,” he said to his Gible.

Dawn gasped. She had been trying to remain inconspicuous, but this was taking it too far.

“No!” she shouted. “You can’t!”

The mysterious blue-haired man turned around and fixed Dawn with a menacing glare.

“Did you see all that?” he asked her.

“Who are you?” Dawn asked. She knew it was wrong to answer a question with a question, but she didn’t want to give this strange, ruthless man any information.

“Me?” he smirked. “My name is Cyrus. I work to create a perfect world. A world without strife, where I will be the supreme ruler. And that Heracross is vital for our research. Hand it over!”

“I won’t let you!” she yelled. “Turtwig, go!”

Dawn tossed out Turtwig’s Pokéball, and the turtle Pokémon came out in a flash of light.

“Twig!” it cried, and prepared itself for battle.

“Try a Tackle attack!” Dawn commanded, and Turtwig charged forwards towards Gible.

“Flamethrower!” Cyrus cried, and Gible shot another stream of fire at Turtwig. Turtwig took it in the face, and fell on its back, unconscious. Dawn gasped.

That Gible…it’s unbelievably strong! Dawn thought. And then, I hope he doesn’t kill me!

Dawn silently returned Turtwig to its ball.

“You’re a horrible, sick person,” Dawn said.

“Maybe,” Cyrus replied. “Gible, kill them both!”

Dawn gasped again. The young boy began to cry.

“Oh no you won’t!” said a voice.
I finally got a chapter up. I'm pretty pleased with it, actually.
Next up - Chapter 3 - Munchlax

Re: Dawn of a New Era - Chapter 2 is up!

chapter two is exciting, the battle's quite well done.

You described Gible very well, but left Cyrus without much features. Also, with a whole company at hand, doesn't it seem strange that Cyrus would be tackling a youngster?

Aside from that, good, keep it up :)
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era - Chapter 2 is up!

I like this, very well done and I'm flattered to hear that my work inspired this.

Btw though, Johanna should be Lucas' mother if Dawn is Rowan's assistant. (She's the player's mother!) So, that's a small error.

Two questions:

Is Rowan getting Turtwig from Ethan a HGSS reference? Where did Ethan get it from? Will that be explained or is that just needless backstory?

Why on earth did Cyrus use a Master Ball to catch a Gible?

Don't view these as challenges, I'm not saying their bad, I'm just curious.

Interesting take on Dawn's character. I like the idea that she fancies Barry, I would not have thought of that myself - I'm eager to see how that pans out.

I like Cyrus' early entrance and I can't wait to find out what exactly he wants with this Youngster and his Heracross. The battle was good and I have no idea how Dawn will possibly be able to get out of this! I'm assuming someone will come to her rescue but I'm not sure who it would be... I have a few ideas, but I'll wait and see.

Yay, Gama read my fic! Thanks for the advice, it really helps! I'll try and fix the errors in the next few chapters.
 
Re: Dawn of a New Era - Chapter 2 is up!

I'm going to Broken Hill tomorrow, so I decided to just get a chapter up before I leave. It's a lot shorter than the others, but, anyway.

Chapter 3
“Who are you?” Cyrus asked.

“My name is Rowan,” Rowan replied. “And I believe what you are doing is illegal. So I suggest that you release those children, and leave immediately.”

“Yeah!” Dawn shouted. “Go Rowan!”

Cyrus smirked.

“What are you going to do about it?” he said.

“Oh, I wont be doing anything myself,” Rowan replied. “But my Pokémon will! Go Munchlax!

Rowan tossed out a Pokéball, which exploded to reveal a small, fat blue Pokémon with a beige face. It was very furry, and its feet had three small claws on their ends.

“Lax!” it cried.

“Gible, let’s go!” Cyrus said, and his Gible walked out in front of him and prepared itself for battle.

“Munchlax, use Protect!” Rowan ordered, and Munchlax created a large shimmering barrier in front of itself.

“That’s not going to stop Gible!” Cyrus cried. “Use Toxic!”

Gible opened it’s mouth and shot a Toxic attack out at Munchlax, but the attack simply bounced off the barrier.

“Now Munchlax, Double Team!” Rowan shouted. Munchlax closed its eyes and started to concentrate. Then, another Munchlax appeared on Munchlax’s left, then one more on it’s right. Munchlax opened it’s eyes and gave Gible a sly grin.

“Stop using defensive moves and attack me, you coward!” Cyrus shouted.

“This is my style of battling,” Rowan replied. “If you don’t like it, then go find a different opponent.”

Cyrus snorted.

“Gible, use Flamethrower!” he shouted. Gible blew out another massive plume of fire straight at one of the Munchlax. The Munchlax disappeared, leaving two behind.

“Damn!” Cyrus swore. But Rowan simply smiled.

“Munchlax, use Psychic!” he ordered, and both Munchlax shot a blast of powerful psychic energy at Gible, blasting it straight back into Cyrus’s arms. Cyrus frowned, then threw Gible down onto the battlefield.

“Dragon Pulse!” Cyrus yelled. But Gible refused to obey. It snorted at Cyrus, then used a powerful Flamethrower attack, which hit the other copy, leaving only the real one. Then, it shot up into the air, then flew towards Munchlax, intending to hit it with Aerial Ace.

“Wait until it gets close, then use Ice Punch, Munchlax!” Rowan shouted. And Munchlax did exactly that. It waited until Gible was within arm’s length, then its fist became one big block of ice, and it punched Gible hard in the face, which flew back to Cyrus, and landed in the dust at his feet. Gible stood up, but very shakily; it looked like even a weak Wurmple tackle would knock it out.

“Gible, Flamethrower!” Cyrus called. But again Gible would not obey, and instead used Toxic. But the ball of poison missed by a mile. Munchlax grinned.

“Munchlax, finish it off with Psychic!” Rowan shouted. Munchlax fired off another Psychic attack, which hit Gible hard, knocking it out of the match. Cyrus returned Gible to its Pokéball, then turned to Rowan.

“You beat me.” Cyrus said slowly.

“Yes I did,” Rowan replied. “Now leave this town alone!”

“Fine!” Cyrus said. “But, in the name of Team Galactic, I will be back. Just you wait!”

Then Cyrus pulled another Pokéball from his belt and tossed it out, and a large purple bat-like Pokémon with a mouth large enough to rival Gible’s came out.

“GAAAHHHLLLLBAAATTT!” it cried.

Rowan opened his mouth to give Munchlax another command, but Cyrus held up a hand to stop him. Then, he hopped on his Pokémon’s back and flew away. Dawn looked up, and watched him fly over the horizon.

“You better run!” Dawn shouted.

Dawn felt a firm hand on her shoulder. She looked up, and saw the stern face of Professor Rowan looking down at her.

“Thanks, Professor,” Dawn said, quite sincerely.

Rowan nodded, and returned Munchlax to it’s Pokéball.

Next: Chapter 4 - Bidoof
 
that's a nice fic, but as other users said why would Cyrus catch a gible with a master ball?
