Hi. This is my first ever fanfiction, well at least first that I have posted online. It would help if you would review and help me become better at writing. The Chapters will range from Shorter ones to Longer ones, and will be uploaded as I finish them.
The sunlight illuminated my small bedroom as I got ready for the day. Today was the day I finally can become a Pokémon trainer. My name is Poké. Ever since I was born, I showed a love of Pokémon, which is where my name comes from. I always lived in Nuvema Town in the Unova region. But today I set off for the far off Kanto region. I took one last look at my room. It wasn't much. A small, one person bed was on the right of the room. A flat screen television given to me by my dad was on the north wall. Several Nintendo Consoles were hooked up to it.
"Poké! You are going to be late!" My mom yelled from downstairs. I looked at my clock. 9:59 AM! The boat taking me from Nuvema to Pallet left in an hour, and I still had to meet Professor Juniper. I took one last look at my self. My brown hair was still slightly messy. My clothing consisted if a black t-shirt with a Pokéball logo and blue jeans. I rushed down the stairs into the living room. My mom was sitting on the couch, watching the T.V., which was showing a movie about some star in Kalos.
"Oh, you are finally ready?" She asked, sadness in her voice. I walked over to her.
"I'll miss you Mom" I said. Mom handed me a large backpack.
"This has several things you'll need on your journey and more" She said. I took the backpack and slipped it on.
"Goodbye Poké" Mom said. And with that short conversation, I left the house, my adventure beginning. A flock of Pidove outside my door flew away as I opened my door. Nuvema was a very small town, with only three houses and Professor Juniper's lab. To the south was the ocean and to the north was Route 1, leading to Accumula Town.
"Help..." A weak voice called out. It was definitely not what I expected to hear as soon as I stepped out the door. The voice came from a young male, and definitely came from the woods on the east side of Nuvema. As no one else in town heard the voice, I ran over to the forest. Searching for the source of the noise in the lush green, I noticed a small green Pokémon emerge. It had a white body with a green, grass like fur, and two pink flowers on the side of his head. It wasn't a Pokémon native to the Unova region, I was sure of that. I picked up the cute creature and looked at it closely. It was covered with bite marks.
"Hey, you!" A gruff voice yelled behind me. I turned around to see a mysterious man approaching me. He wore all black, with his shirt having a large red R.
"Hand over that Pokémon!" He barked at me.
"Please, don't give me to him" The Pokémon in my arms spoke. I was shocked. It must know telepathy, a rare trait that allows a Pokémon to "speak". I looked at the strange man and shook my head.
"I'm not taking no for an answer. Rattata!" The man yelled, throwing a Pokéball. A small purple rat with large teeth emerged from the red and white sphere.
"Rat-tat-tata" Rattata said it's own name, like most Pokémon do.
"Alright! Rattata! Use Bite on the pest" The strange man ordered. The small rat attempted to lunge at me directly.
"Tepig, Ember!" A different, younger voice called out. A burst of flame hit Rattata before it could reach me. It was one of my friends, Cheren. He wore a blue jacket with a white undershirt. He has black glasses and black hair. With him was Bianca, a clumsy girl in an orange shirt and white dress underneath and friend of mine, and Professor Aurea Juniper, wearing her white lab coat.
"Grr... Rattata return... I'll get you next time... If I am allowed to come back after this humiliation!" The strange man yelled. He ran away quickly, leaving us to wonder who he was or what he wanted with the small Pokémon in my arms.
"I knew it, that's a Shaymin" Professor Juniper said approaching me.
"You mean the legendary Pokémon, Shaymin?!" Bianca yelled in surprise. I had heard about Shaymin. It was a legendary Pokémon, known as the Gratitude Pokémon. It is said to be attracted to people full of gratitude.
"I need an Oran Berry" I said, looking at the weak Pokémon. Bianca and Cheren both rummaged through their bags.
"I only have Pecha..." Bianca sighed. Cheren pulled out a handful of round blue berries.
"Here" He said. I took one of the Oran Berries and put it in Shaymin's mouth. He slowly began chewing. He suddenly jumped onto my head, fully recovered.
"Thank you! You saved me from that bad black man! You can be my trainer!" He said cheerfully. It was all so sudden.
"W-Wait! Hold on!" I yelled in surprise.
"Nope, I've made up my mind! You're my trainer!" Shaymin said. I sighed, This was going to be a long, long journey.
