It all began in Petalburg City in the Hoenn region, a young boy and his shiny Charizard were about to fly off to the Kanto region, with a few other Pokémon in tow.

"Grey! Do you have everything?!", the young boy's mother shouted from the bottom of the staircase.

"Yes mom, I even triple checked to make sure", the young 10-year-old responded

"I'm just making sure so that you can start your story off right."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it mom, Thanks, but I got it."

"Alright, well stay safe, train hard, and don't forget to love and you make sure to do the same as well Char", the mother said before kissing both on their foreheads.

"Of course, mom, but you already know that the road to becoming a Pokémon master is a dangerous one, so I'll try to stick to the latter two pieces of advice for us, right Charizard", the boy said with confidence as he looked to his partner in crime.

"Raa", the massive dragon responded with a smile on his face.

"Alright, Charizard, time to fly!"

As the boy got on his friend's back, the large black fire lizard flew off at near Mach speed.

"Whew! God thing I have my aura keeping me on your back buddy, cause you for sure don't understand what it means to slow down", the boy said with his hair all over the place.

As he landed in Pallet town, Grey took in the basic, yet seemingly nostalgic feeling coming from the area.

"Wow, so this is where it all started for mom and dad. I can definitely see how and why, it's so tiny and a perfect place to take your first steps."

As the boy was about to walk into Professor Oak's laboratory, a young raven-haired boy came crashing into him as it seemed he was in a rush. To make it worse, the boy was carrying a Pikachu that didn't seem to like his new training, and so when they collided, the boys were feeling thousands upon thousands of volts of electricity.

Grey got up groggily, with smoke coming from his clothes.

"Well that was definitely a warm welcome", Grey said as he was also coughing out the words.

"Oww, sorry about that, I was just really excited about starting my journey. The name's Ash Ketchum by the way", the raven-haired boy said as he held his hand out for a shake.

"Grey Lockwood is my name, and I came here to start my journey."

"Well why come here if you already have a huge Charizard?"

"Well I don't have a Pokedex, and I'm definitely gonna need that if I want to become a Pokémon Master."

"Wait, a Pokémon Master? That's what I'm trying to be!"

"Well you've got a long way to go Ashy boy", a young upstart shouted as he was in his car, getting ready to drive off. (Still don't know how this guy is driving a car at this age, but I'm not here to nitpick)

"Whatever Gary! When I see you at the Pokémon League, I'll kick your butt all around the stadium!"

"Yeah, yeah, anyways, smell ya later boys", he said as he drove off with half-a-dozen girls in tow.

"Well anyways Ash, I've gotta get my Pokedex and then I'll catch up to you later."

"For sure man, I'll show you just how strong my Pokémon are next time we meet", the young boy said before racing off onto route 1.

"Ahh Grey, it's been a while hasn't it?", the white-haired old man said

"Hello Professor Oak, I've come to get a Pokedex to begin my journey finally", the grey-haired boy spoke as a response.

"Well fortunately I do have an extra Pokedex just for you as your mother made sure that I had one upgraded to national."

As the professor handed Grey his dex, Grey then let out the other Pokémon that were in their balls.

"Alright guys, time for you to come out."

As he threw up 3 pokeballs, a corresponding number of Pokémon came out. Bagon, a small dragon with small arms and a large head, Aron, a small quadra-ped with a large silver head and blue eyes, and then Beldum, a machine-like creature with only a single eye and small, sharp claws at the bottom of its body. Grey quickly scanned all 4 of his Pokémon before heading out to begin his journey.

"Well, I guess it's time to show the world just what we can do."

And yeah, that'll do it for the first chapter. I know it's short, but I've been thinking about this for a while now, so I guess there's no better time like the present to start. Please don't forget to Favorite, Follow, and Review. Til the next chapter.
