Author's Note: This story will have Pokémon knowing moves that they can't normally learn such as Torchic using flare blitz. Also whenever bold letters are used it indicates that the trainer and his Pokémon are speaking telepathically. But this won't happen until later on in the story. And this is actually my first book so please, give me a review and tell me how I did and what I can do to I'm prove. Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 1: Getting Ready
In the Hoenn region a fourteen year old boy, named Roger in Fortree City is about to start his Pokemon journey.
A boy with long, black, curly hair and brown eyes jumps out of bed. "Yes! Finally, today is the day I can get my first pokemon." He ran downstairs to see a short, black haired woman with a chansey cooking breakfast. "Good morning mom!" Roger said running toward the table.
"Good morning dear." She said serving his food. "Since this is the last breakfast I'm making you for a long time, I decided to make your favorites."
Roger prepared his silverware. "Yes, pancakes with chocolate syrup!" he ate one. "This is amazing mom!"
While Roger was eating, a wild growlithe took one of his pancakes. "Growl Growlithe!" It ate in satisfaction. The wild growlithe is a friend to everyone in Fortree city, they also gave her the name Mercedes. It would not be a surprise if she snuck into someone's treehouse to spend the night there; especially Rogers's.
"Hey Mercedes." Roger petted the Pokémon. "Guess what, today I'm becoming a Pokémon trainer! Isn't that cool?"
"Growlithe growl!" Mercedes jumped in agreement. Then a bald man, and his makuhita came in.
"Hello son, I see you will be going off on your adventure soon?" He asked
"Soon." Roger said. "First I have to go to Uncle Birch's lab to get my Pokémon, then I have to come back to say my goodbyes to everyone."
"Growl." Mercedes looked down in sadness.
"Its ok Mercedes I'm going to miss you too." Roger scratched Mercedes' neck.
"Well you should get going, we wouldn't want you to keep waiting." Roger's mom said. "Plus Kate is probably waiting for you at the gym." She winked. Kate is Roger's thirteen year old girlfriend who wanted to travel with him.
"Oh, yeah." Roger remembered. "Got to go! See you guys later!" Roger sprinted out his treehouse, toward the gym.
As he was running he saw Winona, the Fortree gym leader and a brown hair girl with black eyes. "Hey." She said reaching for a hug.
"Hey Kate." Roger said giving her the hug. "So how exactly are we getting to Littleroot Town?" He asked Winona.
"Here." She pulled out three pokeballs. "I'll let you choose."
"Oh, I see, we are using your flying type pokemon." Roger chose his favorite one, Altaria. "I love this one, ever since you got it as a swablu.
"Good choice. Go Altaria!" She threw a pokeball in the air and a Pokémon appeared.
"Altaria!" He chirped.
"Altaria, I need you to fly us to Littleroot Town." Winona told the Pokémon.
"Altaria." He cooed and prepared his back.
"Alright, hop on kids." Winona said grabbing on to Altaria's neck so she can control him. Roger and Kate followed. "Use fly." Winona commanded and Altaria obeyed.
"So, what Pokémon are you starting off with?" Roger said putting his arm on Kate's shoulder.
"Well actually, Professor Oak sent me this letter. He said he will give me my first Pokémon. "Kate said taking the letter out of her pocket.
"It says we have to go to Kanto for it. That's far; does this mean we are starting our adventure there?" Roger asked reading the letter.
"Please." Kate said. "I think it would be good for both of us, especially because we can see new Pokémon."
"Ok." Roger said. "You have a point, and I guess it would be fun."
"Aw man!" Winona whined. "I was really looking forward to our gym battle Roger."
"Don't worry, we will have it one day." Roger said. "Plus you are extremely strong, I wouldn't be a match for you without good training."
Winona smiled. "Ok fine, but when we do battle I'm expecting you to at least bring me down to my last Pokémon." She patted Altaria.
"You got a deal." Roger said looking down at a valley with a city in it. "Hey, it's Littleroot Town!"
"Altaria, decline to Professor Birch's lab!" Winona ordered.
"Altaria." The Pokémon declined quickly right in front of the lab. Everyone jumped off Altaria and was called back into his pokeball.
"Uncle and Aunt Birch it's me; Roger!" Roger called out approaching the door. Two people came out, a man with short brown hair with a lab coat and shorts and a woman with long blond hair with a lab coat and jeans on.
"Hello, long time no see Roger." His Uncle Birch said.
"Yep! I'm here to get my first Pokémon." Roger cheered.
"Well come with me." His Aunt Birch said.
"But I thought Uncle Birch gave them out." Roger said a bit confused.
"Roger, every time your Aunt makes a new invention she takes some of the trainers I was supposed to have so they can try out her invention." His Uncle Birch said. "Like your twin sister, when she was ten, your Aunt created a portable pokeball transporter. It allows you to send your Pokémon here or we can send a Pokémon to you without you needing to go to a Pokémon center. By the way why didn't you start the same time as your sister?"
"I decided I was going to study more about Pokémon and their moves before I go." Roger said pulling out a notebook about fire type Pokémon. "I made this myself." Roger admired all sorts of Pokémon especially fire types. Since Mercedes is the only Pokémon he was around he decided to study fire type Pokémon using her.
His Uncle took the book. "Very interesting, I will read this later." He put the book in his pocket. "Well you should go with your Aunt and get your Pokémon. Are you here to get your Pokémon too Kate?"
"No I'm actually getting mine from Professor Oak, in the Kanto region." She said showing him the letter. "But I think I will go with Roger." She said following Roger and his Aunt into the lab.
"So Winona, is there anything you would want?" He turned his attention to the gym leader.
"Well, I would like to see your collection of flying type Pokémon if you don't mind." She asked.
"No problem, follow me." He escorted her to the flying habitat in the back of the lab.
