Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, Nintendo does.

So here I'm writing a story based on the leaf green game. I hope you all enjoy it. Some concepts of the game will be seen in the story like levels and so on. Please review!

Chapter 1 - A New Adventure!

10 year old Amy Green opened her eyes to the early sunrise of morning, she sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Poppy, the family's pokemon pet came bounding into the room.

"Morning Poppy!" smiled Amy as the Vulpix called Poppy leaped onto the bed. After finally brushing her long brown hair and getting dressed Amy came downstairs to the smell of bacon and eggs.

"Oh Amy! I see your finally up." said her Mother who was cooking breakfast.

"I received a notice from Professor Oak. He wants to see you for something."

"Really?" said Amy in surprise. "I wonder what he wants to see me about." Just then Poppy hopped onto a chair next to Amy, in her mouth was a circular hat with a poke ball symbol on the front.

"Huh? Oh my hat! Thanks Poppy!"

Amy walked along a path heading towards her next door neighbours while thinking what the Professor could want her for. If anything needs doing then surly his grandson Gary would have done it.

Gary.

Amy gave a frown as she started to think about Gary. He was her rival ever since they were babies. In everything Amy did Gary had to do it too, just to prove he was better then her. Gary was obnoxious, stuck up, bigheaded person she ever had the unfortunate to meet.

Finally she arrived at the house, taking a deep breath Amy knocked four times on the door. The door opened and out peered a girl with mid short brown hair.

"Hi Daisy!" Amy said cheerfully.

"Hello Amy! If your looking for my brother Gary he's at Grandpa's Lab." chirped Daisy.

"Actually I'm looking for Professor Oak, he wanted to see me. Is he here?"

"Nope sorry! I think he might be at the Lab too."

"Oh uh ok. Thanks Daisy, see you later!" said Amy as she turned on her heels and headed off towards the lab.

Soon Amy reached the Lab, as she opened the door she heard a voice say….

"Gramps!!! I'm fed up with waiting!!!

Amy rolled her eyes when she recognized who spoke. As she walked into the room she saw Gary leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. In the middle of the room was a table with three poke balls on it. Next to the table was Professor Oak.

"Gary be patient, just wait!" said the Professor.

Professor Oak looked up and saw Amy.

"Haa! Here she is! Here Amy." Professor Oak beckoned her to come closer. Gary looked at Amy and smirked. "Yo Amy! I'm surprised your out of bed."

Amy ignored him and stood next to the table.

"Right lets get down to why I called you here." said the Professor. "As you can see, there are three poke balls on this table. Each one contains a different Pokemon, a Bulbasaur, a Charmander and a Squirtle!"

Amy nodded her head to show she understood.

"When I was younger, I was a serious Pokemon Trainer." said the Professor.

Amy suddenly concentrated her attention on Professor Oak, even Gary was listening. It was known around all of Pallet Town that Professor Oak was once a famous Trainer, his strength and battle skills were almost considered legendary.

"But now, in my old age, I have only these three left." Amy could almost see a glint of sadness in the Professor eyes and instantly felt sorry for him.

"And now this comes to the conclusion of why I asked both you and Gary to come here today. I want you both to have a poke ball each. Go on, choose!"

"WHAT!?" Amy yelled in surprise. She wasn't the only one.

"Hey! Gramps! Are you being serious!?" asked Gary.

"Very serious now go and choose one!" said Professor Oak.

Amy looked at the table, she stretched out a trembling hand and placed it on a poke ball. She lifted it up and held it towards the light for a better look.

"Hm! Squirtle is your choice. It's one worth raising." Professor Oak said to Amy.

I have a pokmon! My-my very first pokemon! Thought Amy as she held the poke ball close.

Gary quickly rushed to the table, "I'll take this one then!" said Gary with a smirk back on his face.

"Well these pokemon are now yours. I hope you take very good care of them." smiled Oak.

"Thank you so much Professor!!! I going to go show Mother and Poppy my new Pokemon!" said Amy full of joy.

Before Amy had the chance to reach the door, Gary called out to her.

"Wait Amy! Let's check out our Pokemon! I bet I can beat you!" grinned Gary.

He threw his poke ball into the air and sent out Bulbasaur!

"Oh for Pete's sake! Pushy as always." frowned Professor Oak.

"Hmph! Fine! Go Squirtle!" yelled Amy as she sent out Squirtle.

"Ok Bulbasaur use Tackle!" yelled Gary.

Bulbasaur began to rush towards Squirtle. "Dodge it Squirtle!" yelled Amy. Squirtle tried to jump out of the way but to Amy's surprise Bulbasaur was faster. It Tackled Squirtle with it's whole weight and sent poor squirtle flying across the room.

"Tackle it again Bulbasaur!" shouted Gary.

Bulbasaur began charging towards Squirtle again.

"Squirtle use Tail Whip!" yelled Amy.

Squirtle jumped up from the ground and when Bulbasaur came close enough used Tail Whip on him. Bulbasaurs defence was instantly lowered.

"Ok now follow it up with Tackle!" ordered Amy.

"Nice try Amy, Bulbasaur use Tackle as well!"

Bulbasaur and Squirtle charged at each other, there was a loud bang as they meet but Bulbasaur being heavy sent Squirtle flying again. When Squirtle crash into the wall again it's eyes began dazed. This time it didn't get up.

"YES! I win!!! I told you you'll lose Amy. I'm just too good for you!" bragged Gary.

Amy rushed over to Squirtle. "Well done Squirtle you were great!" Amy patted the top of his head and then returned him back to his poke ball.

"Well I'm off! I'm going to go train my new pokemon so that he can become even stronger! Smell ya later!" Gary gave a little wave and wink to Amy and walked out of the room.

Amy sat at the dinner table with her head on her arms, in front of her was the poke ball that contain Squirtle. Her mother looked at her and smiled, "You know Amy, according to the TV all girls dream of travelling."

Amy looked at her mother in confusion. Her mother smiled even more and went to the next room, when she came back she was carrying a large bulging bag with a shoulder strap.

"Here you go! I bought everything I could think of that you would need for your travels."

"Mother!" said Amy in surprise. "I-I can go travelling?"

"of course! You're a pokemon trainer now! Go out there and have some adventures! But please remember to phone home every now and then."

Amy threw herself onto her mother.

"Thank you so much mum! I'm going to go travel everywhere and I'll phone and write to you often to tell you what experiences I have."

After saying goodbye to all her friends Amy soon found herself walking on Route 1. This is the start of my adventure! Thought Amy with excitement. The route was filled with flowers and tall grass, after awhile Amy ran into a wild Rattata.

"Oh right! A pokemon! Well since I don't have any poke balls I can't catch you so….. I'm just going to fight you to make my Squirtle stronger!" said Amy happily and she sent out Squirtle. The Rattata wasn't very strong, after just two tackles from Squirtle the Rattata was defeated and Squirtle gained some experience.

Soon after this Amy came upon a man wearing a white apron.

"Hi!" said the man.

"I work at a Pokemon Mart. It's part of a convenient chain selling all sorts of items .Please, visit us in Viridian City. Here's a sample!"

The man held out a potion to Amy.

"Thanks but, is it okay for me to have this?" asked Amy.

"Of course! It's my job to stand here and give out samples to promote our store."

Amy waved goodbye to the man and continued on towards Viridian City.

After a hour of walking and battling wild Rattata and Pidgey's Amy started to see the buildings in Viridian City. "Wow so pretty!" gasped Amy. The City buildings sparkled white in the sunlight and to the left was a large pond. Amy spotted a building with a red roof and a red symbol of a poke ball with the words P.C.

That must be the Pokemon Centre thought Amy as walked towards it. As she entered in to the building she wondered out loud. "I wonder how much it is to have Squirtle healed?"

"It's free!"

Amy turned around and saw a boy who looked at least a year older then her.

"Hi there! My name's David. The pokemon centre doesn't charge you for healing pokemon OR renting out a room for the night. So don't be shy about coming to heal your pokemon ok?"

"Ok! Thanks David! Oh by the way my name's Amy."

"Nice name, see you around Amy!" David gave a little wave and walked out of the centre. Amy walked up to Nurse Joy at the counter and handed over her Squirtle to be healed.

When Amy walked outside again she spotted the Pokemon Mart the man in route 1 talked about. Amy stepped into the Mart and looked again at the shelves, the man at the counter spotted her and shouted out.

"Hey! You came from Pallet Town?"

Amy looked at the man and nodded her head.

"You know Professor Oak right?" again Amy nodded her head.

"His order came in. Can I get you to take it to him?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Yeah sure!" said Amy as she was handed the parcel. Even though it was an hour and half walk back to Pallet Town Amy thought that she it owed it to Professor Oak anyway. He did give her a pokemon and made it quite possible to go travelling anyway.

Amy began travelling back along route 1, not much happened on her way back to Pallet town except Squirtle gaining a level and learning Bubble. Finally she was back, puffing and panting from all that walking Amy made her way to the Lab.

She found Professor Oak sitting at a computer doing his usual research.

"Professor!" called Amy. Professor Oak looked up from his computer and gave a yell of pleasant surprise to see Amy.

"Amy! I thought you had left town? How is my old Pokemon?"

"He's doing great Professor! I have something for you." Amy handed over the parcel.

"Ah! It's the custom Poke ball! I had it on order. Thank you!" smiled Oak.

"Gramps!"

Oh no please don't let that be him thought Amy as she turned around. Sure enough Gary came walking up towards them.

"So Gramps, what did you call me for?" asked Gary as he gave a wink to Amy. Amy glared at him and turned her head away.

"Oh, right! Since both of you are here I have a request for you both." said Oak. He turned around and pointed at the desk.

"On the desk there is my invention, the pokedex! It automatically records data on pokemon you've seen or caught. It's a high-tech encyclopedia!"

Professor Oak picked up the Pokedex and held them out towards Amy and Gary.

"Take these with you. You can't get detailed data on Pokemon by just seeing them. You must catch them to obtain complete data. So, here are some tools for catching wild pokemon."

Professor gave them their Pokedex and five poke balls each!

"When a wild pokemon appears, it's fair game. Just throw a poke ball at it and try to catch it! This won't always work, however. A healthy pokemon can escape, you have to be lucky!"

Professor stepped back from them and looked up. Amy could see a dreamy faraway look in his eyes.

"To make a complete guide on all the pokemon in the world… That was my dream! But, I'm too old. I can't get the job done." Professor Oak looked at them again.

"So, I want you two to fulfill my dream for me. Get moving you two! This is a great undertaking in Pokemon history!!!"

"All right, Gramps! Leave it all to me!" said Gary. He turned towards to Amy with a smirk on his face.

"Amy, I hate to say it, but you won't be necessary for this."

Amy looked at Gary in shock and anger, just who does he think he is!?!

Before she could reply to him, Gary patted her on the head, gave her wink and walked out of the lab.

"oh my, my Grandson does like to cause trouble eh Amy?" smile Oak with a knowing look in his eyes.

"Yes he does!" frowned Amy crossing her arms.

Amy once again found herself walking along Route 1, by the time she reaches Viridian City again it was getting pretty dark. She rented a room in the Pokemon Centre and settled down for the night. I wonder what tomorrow will bring thought Amy and she snuggled into bed and closed her eyes.
