The Journey

By Will C

Part 1



I slowly woke up and smiled. I hopped out of bed and jumped into some clothes.

I ran downstairs and smiled.

"Today is the day." I said.

The day me and my best friend Jordan would begin our Pokemon journeys.

I grabbed my backpack and ran out the front door, after a brief goodbye to my parents and little brother.

I met Jordan across the street. We were all ready to go.



Ok, maybe I should tell you a little about myself.

My full name is Will Tyler Snow. I am 14, and have spiky black and dark blue hair.

I'm about 5"7 1/2 feet tall. I have sky blue eyes.

My best friend Jordan Andy Ray is also 14. He's my height but has blonde and black hair and blue eyes. We've been best friends since grade two and Jordan is the best buddy a guy could have. Now back to the story!



We walked down the road towards Professor Kelly's laboratory.

"So Jordan, what Pokemon are you gonna get from Professor Kelly?" I asked.

"I thought about it hard and I think I'm gonna take Bulbasaur. What about you?"

"Squirtle!" I yelled happily. "He's the coolest."

When we finally reached professor Kelly's lab, we got in line and eagerly awaited our turn to choose the Pokemon.

"Bulbasaur!" Jordan yelled happily, as Professor Kelly asked him what Pokemon he wanted.

She handed him a shiny new Pokeball from the pile and called on me.

"Well, Will have you decided?" She asked me.

"Yes I have, I want a Squirtle!" I said.

She smiled and handed me the shiny Pokeball.

"Now Will, raising a Pokemon is a lot of work. Give it some exercise and feed it three times a day, don't leave it in it's Pokeball all day or it will become lazy and won't be able to battle."

"Alright thank you."

She handed us our Pokedex's and PokeGear's (we read all about the latest Pokemon gear) and set off along Route 11 towards our first destination of Green City.

The path was a normal path most of the way until we came to a small forest.

"What's the map say Jordan?" I asked.

Jordan fiddled with the map. "We go through the forest to get to Green City. It should take us about a day to get there." He said.

"Good, now we know where to go."

We kept walking some guy a few years older than us stopped us.

"Hey you two." He said.

"Wadda ya want?" I asked.

"Nothing much, just a Pokemon battle." He said.

"Ok fine, I'll battle you." Jordan said.

"Not so fast, I wanna fight both of you."

"What?"

"Yeah, my Sandslash can whip anyone's ass." He said, snickering.

"Ok fine, we can do it Jordan." I said.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

"Go POKEBALL!" We both yelled. Our two Pokemon exploded from their Pokeballs and landed on he ground.

"Squirtle? Squirt!" My squirtle said. "Bulba! Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur said.

"You're gonna fight me with those two. Hahahaha!" He said.

"Shut up! Let's go!"

"Ok! Sandslash!!!!" He yelled. A huge spiky mole exploded from the Pokeball and stood there, waving it's claws. "Sandslaaaaaasssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" It screamed.

"Squirtle tackle attack!" I said. "You to Bulbasaur!"

The two Pokemon charged at Sandslash.

Sandslash shot forwards, they all hit each other, But Squirtle and Bulbasaur flew back.

"Holy geeze it's super strong!" I yelled.

"Sandslash! Go underground!" The guy yelled.

Sandslash shot into the air and flipped over, drilling in the ground and disappeared.

"What the? Where'd it go?"

There was a few moments of silence, while me, Jordan, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, just looked around.

All of a sudden, Sandslash shot up from the ground and swung hard at Squirtle, throwing my new Pokemon against a tree knocking him out.

Sandslash continued on and slammed into Bulbasaur, knocking him out cold to.

"HAHAHA! I told you my Sandslash could beat you!" The guy laughed.

"Squirtle!" "Bulbasaur!"

We both ran up to our Pokemon to see if they were alright. They weren't hurt bad, just knocked out. We called them back to see that the guy had run off.

"Well, we should keep going." I said.

Jordan nodded.
