"KIM!!!! WAKE UP OR YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!!!!!" the words rang in Kim's ear for about a minute before she finally got up and out of her bed. It was the first day of her journey, and her mom was right, she was going to be late.

"Oh my gosh! I have to leave, SOON!!" Kim said getting out of her bed and running into the bathroom. After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, Kim came into her room to get dressed. She wore a black spaghetti strap with a light pink vest. Along with jean short short and black socks. Kim folded her bandana into a pink headband. On the headband was a black pokeball symbol.

Kim ran down the stairs and went into the kitchen. There her mom and dad were waiting for her. "Oh, Kim, you look so beautiful." Her mother said, coming over and giving her a kiss on the head. "Thanks mom." Kim said as she watched her mom go back to stand beside her dad. Her dad was none other than the famous coordinator Drew Styles, and her mom May Summers, who was a coordinator that was equally as famous as her dad. They had been the greatest rivals, but Kim thought they made a very cute couple. The two had given up coordinating and settled down together, and not long after had Kim.

Now it was Kim's turn, she was going to be a famous coordinator like her parents. "So Kim, what are you going to pick as your first pokemon?" May asked her daughter, this snapped Kim out of her thoughts. "Hmm…I don't know, maybe a cute little Torchic like you mom. Or even a Mudkip, or a Treecko like the one Uncle Max used to have." Kim said, partly to herself.

"Well, don't worry about it, you'll know it when the time comes, you have until you get there to decide." Drew said, seeing the worried face on his daughter. "I guess you're right dad, well I'm off." Kim said as she went towards the door.

"Kim, wait!" May said coming up behind her daughter. "Yea mom?"

"Aren't you going to wait for Zach, Tiff and Tori?" May asked her daughter with a smile. "Oh yea, I forgot!" Kim said slapping her forehead.

"Looks like you wont have to wait long," Drew said entering the room and going up to the door. Drew opened the door to reveal a boy with messy black hair under his black and red hat. He had green eyes and a red vest with blue jeans. He looked to about 13, which is three years older than Kim herself. Next to him was a girl with light brown hair and grey eyes, she looked about 16. Next to her was a little boy who looked about 8. He had reddish hair and onyx eyes.

"Hey, how'd ya know we were here?" the boy with the black hair asked. "Because I saw you three coming up." Drew said nonchalantly. "Zach, Tiff, Tori!!!" Kim said going up to each one of them and giving them a hug.

Zach was the son of Ash and Misty, he had been traveling around for two years now, and had come to Hoen to take the Hoen challenge. Tiff was the daughter of Brock and Queen Lucy of the Battle Pike. Like her father, Tiff would easily fall in love, well since she was a girl, she would fall in love with every guy she met. Tori was the son of Max, May's little brother and Vivi, the youngest Winstrate. So, Tori and Kim were cousins, Tori didn't have any pokemon yet, but his parents thought it best if he had some experience before starting his own journey.

"Ok, now that you guys are here, let's go get me a pokemon!" Kim yelled energetically as she got her black and pink sneakers on. "Just a minute, you wouldn't want to leave this behind, would you?" Drew said holding up a little pink book bag.

"Heh, heh…" Kim said scratching the back of her head. Kim took the bag from her dad and kissed both her parents bye before she left. The four young friends walked to Prof. Brich's laboratory.

….AT PROF. BIRCH'S PLACE…

"Oh, Kim, I see you made it safely." Prof. Birch exclaimed happily upon seeing the young brunette girl with blue – green eyes. "Yup!" Kim said cheerfully.

"Well, come this way, I'll show you to the starter pokemon." Prof. Birch said leading the way.

"Here are the pokemon you can choose from, the first one is a Torchic, the second one is a Mudkip, and the third one is a Treecko." Prof. Birch introduced the three pokemon on the table.

"Oh, they're all so cute!!" Kim exclaimed happily as she picked each one up. "I dunno which one to choose!!"

"Squirtle!!!" a blue turtle pokemon yelled as it leapt out of the arm of a professor holding it. "Oh, no! Not again!" Prof. Birch said, exasperated.

"Someone stop that Squirtle!" he yelled as he chased after the young pokemon. "Go! Charmeleon!" Zach said thinking quickly. "Charmeleon, Char!" the dinosaur like pokemon yelled out.

The young Squirtle stopped dead in it's tracks and started crying. "Oh, you poor thing, come here." Kim said walking over to the young pokemon. She cradled it in her arms until the pokemon stopped crying. "It's so small!" Kim exclaimed after it had finally settled down. "Yes, well, we were researching it to find out why. It's quiet small, even for it's young age." Prof. Birch said coming up to her.

"But this one is a handful." He said rubbing the Squirtle's tummy. "Well, I guess I have to choose, huh?" Kim said as she handed over the Squirtle to Prof. Birch and walking over to the table with the pokemon. "Squirtle! Squirtle!" the young Squirtle cried out as it left Kim's arms.

"I guess this little fella got attached to you." Prof Birch said handing the Squirtle over to Kim. "Really?!?" Kim asked taking the young pokemon back into her arms. "Prof. Birch," Kim said after some time of thinking, "would it be ok if I take this little guy?" Kim asked with little puppy dog eyes.

"Well, I was kind of hoping you would ask that, considering it's already attached to you, so why not?" Prof. Birch said laughing. "Really?!!?" Kim asked unable to believe her ears. "Alright, so what do ya say?" Kim asked her little friend.

The young Squirtle nodded it's head in happiness. "You know what, I'm going to call you Squirt, do you like it?" Kim asked her new pokemon, who just nodded, liking the sound of it's new name.

"Ok, Squirt, you and me are going to travel around and be in many Pokemon Competition's. Will you help me?" Kim asked Squirt. "Squirtle!" it said in agreement.

"Would you like a pokeball for Squirtle?" Prof Birch asked walking up to Kim with pokeballs and a pokedex in his hands. "What do you think Squirt?" Kim asked her pokemon. Squirt jumped onto Kim's back and shook it's head no.

"Well there you have it Prof." Kim said to the Prof. "Well take these," Prof. Birch said handing the pokeballs and pokedex to Kim.
