A/N Wassup Dudes?! I'm here to start a story (no shit Sherlock) and will start out with the cliché author's note! Speaking of which, though I have noticed many fics like this, I am going to do one of those "cliché" stories! By that, of course, I mean to write a story completely of Pokémon clichés!! So yeah, the reading level of this fic will be low, as to add to the effect (and sometimes I really write like this, but usually in rough drafts.) So yah, and sorry for starting off a (potentially) crack story with a 100 word (or so) author's note!

"Today's the day," thought the girl with the incredible name of October Crescentmoon, "I finally get to get a new Pokémon!"

You see, young October, hadn't gotten the chance to get a Pokémon at age 10, because of a tragic incident that made her past horrible. Now, with one eye, and a patch over it, the girl with multi-color hair and ever changing color eyes was going to prove herself. All her life, she had grown up in the shadow of a perfect trainer sister, who had a team that seemed almost impossible to catch, and now was the time to make HER be the one in a shadow.

"October!!" her mother called, "I have a surprise for you!"

October's eyes--excuse me, eye-- widened and a grin appeared on her face and she ran for the stairs. Of course, the 11 year old with one eye, a tragic past and amazing trainer sister, managed to trip because even though ready to prove herself, she was anti-climatically clumsy. "Geez, I swear you wake up with new feet each day," her mother admonished.

The girl blushed, "Mom, didn't you say you have a surprise?"

"Of course," her mother replied, "I have a new Pokémon for you. Say hello to your shiny Riolu! And, because you didn't go on your journey last year, here is an Eevee and Dratini!!!

"Oh mom, you wonderful person!" her daughter gushed.

"Hey, you do not want to be late! A world renowned Professor who you conveniently grew up with and spent time with, wants to have the honor of being the one to register you as a trainer!" her mother said, but then paused, as her child (magically) snuck out without a sound.

"Wow," thought October, "I get to meet Prof. Birch!! I cannot wait to show him my new Pokémon!"

The 11 year old was running through the forest she lived within, to reach Prof. Birch's lab. The green trees swayed, winds whispered, a stream….. streamed, and the sounds of Pokémon filled the air. With her great stamina, obtained by her secret training, she reached the town, supposedly 15 minutes away, in 8. Suddenly, and oddly right before her destination, there was an object in the way. She looked up, strained to see who it was due to her small stature, and recognized the hot, and perfect human named, a surprisingly ordinary name with weird spelling and only one syllable, Jake. His messy hair was the impossible color of pure white and his clothes were sparkling and perfect.

"Hello, Jake," October said, spitting out the last part, "here to pick on me due to a non-specified reason from my horrible past?"

Jake smirked arrogantly, I mean, what other way could her perfect and hot rival smile, and said, "No, I just am coming back from receiving my first Pokémon! For reasons unknown, and possibly improbable, my relation, Prof. Birch had gotten some of the Kanto starters! He decided to give the best to me. Come on out, Charmander."

(Yup, charmander, of course October's Pokémon will have nicknames, usually only the main characters do)

From the circular capsule in Jake's hand, appeared a Charmander. "Oh my gosh!" October thought, "He's shiny like my three incredibly either overused or rare Pokémon!!"

"Now, October, let's battle." Jake said confidently

October smiled, "I choose you, Aura!"

Her rival seemed to gape at the sight of the shiny Riolu but he quickly regained his composure. "Charmander, use flamethrower!"

October gasped as the tiny reptilian Pokémon used a powerful attack that only its finally evolved form, or a very strong charmander, could use.

"Aura! Dodge and use Vaccuum Wave!" October called.

Both Pokémon let loose their attacks. There was a "Bang!" and a huge puff of smoke as the attacks collided and the two beginning trainers with amazing and/or special Pokémon waited in awestruck silence. The smoke began to clear, a shadow could be seen, the winner is----!

A/N Yep, here I am again. Well, I know this chapter was short, but clichés get hard to write because they bore me to tears. Some of the clichés in here are (skip this if you like):

1. A cool and awesomely original name that will probably never be a name of a human

2. A mother with no mentioned name

3. A tragic past

4. The absence of an eye (sometimes people use scars)

5. A sister who has a wonderful reputation out of October's reach.

6. a normal kid, with a horrible past, one eye, and who skipped her journey a year ago (or any variant of these, or possibly none) has still managed to find time to become really close to a famous professor.

7. The main OC receives a mega-awesome rare or overused Pokémon.

8. The aforementioned person has a shiny Pokémon

9. the afore, aforementioned person gets their first Pokémon from a family member who probably hasn't left the hometown since their child was born, or their last family vacation.

10. the overly cliché Pokémon Dratini, Eevee, and Riolu are used

11. While October's name is original, her rivals is normal and easy to say

12. Her rival is HOT and perfect

13. Rival also gets a shiny. But added to that, it's a shiny starter from another region
