CHAPTER ONE
Mossdeep City, a beautiful island off the coast Lilycove. It was home to the two Physic Pokemon Gym leaders, Tate & Liza. It was springtime; the trees were full of apples. Wingull floated on the air currents high above the town. The fishermen had already cast their polls into the water and were waiting patiently for the wailmer and magicarp to bite. It was around seven o'clock, and only a few people strolled through the town. There was one boy, however, who was sitting on the edge of a cliff overlooking the water. His brown hair fell over his dark blue eyes. As he brushed it out of his face, he looked down at the three Wingull who floated around playfully as if they were in a game of tag. He stood up, the navy blue t-shirt that he wore flapped over his white, long sleeve under shirt. His jeans where falling overtop his black shoes.
He headed back to his house. He was quite hungry. He opened his front door and the aroma of bacon and sausage came to meet his nose. His mom was standing there with a frying pan in her hand.
"Shouldn't you keep that over the stove?" he said to his mom as he sat down at the dinning room table.
"Shouldn't you tell me if your going to leave the house at six in the morning Joseph?" she asked as she put three pieces of bacon and two pieces of sausage on to a plate and set it down in front of him.
"Thanks, I can get my own milk mom."
As Joseph began to pour his milk, his mom walked over to the television and clicked it on to the news.
"Oh, look Joseph, Professor Birch is in town again to hand out some starter Pokemon. Do you want to go and check it out?"
Joseph sat down and began to munch on a piece of bacon, " Nah," Joseph said between bites.
"But your already fifteen, don't you want to start training a Pokemon?"
"I do want to train one, but the prof. never has any different Pokemon. It's always a Treeko, a Torchic, or a Mudkip. When he gets some new Pokemon, I'll go check it out."
"Then you better hurry"
Joseph looked up at his mom, "huh"
"The reporter just announced that he brought different Pokemon today, but he didn't say what they are."
"Are you going to go and…Joseph," she had turned around to see an empty chair and an open door "Good luck," she said.
Joseph had left the house before his mom had finished talking. He was running down the road as fast as he could to reach the port where Professor Birch was. He arrived the first one there. Prof. Birch was waiting with a few Poke balls on a table.
"Well look who it is, I haven't seen you in a while Joseph."
"Hey professor. I heard that you have some different Pokemon!"
"I do. I still have the Treeko, Torchic, and Mudkip, but I got two new Pokemon a few days ago."
"What are they?"
"See for yourself"
Joseph walked up to the table that held the poke balls. He picked up the two that were set aside. He tossed them in the air "COME ON OUT" he shouted.
The two Pokemon came out in a flash of white light.
"Vulllllpix" said one of them.
"Eeevveee" said the other one.
Joseph looked at both of them. There, standing before him, was a Vulpix and an Eevee.
"What do you think."
"I don't know. I wish I could have both of them. Can I?"
"Yes, you can. But only if nobody else decides to take them."
Joseph waited all day by the port. Kids came from all over Mossdeep, looking at the Pokemon. A few of the kids took a look at the Vulpix and the Eevee, but nobody decided to take one of them. It was almost five o'clock before Professor Birch finally said "Alright, now that everyone has had a chance to see them and nobody wanted them, you may have both."
"Thank you Prof. Birch."
Joseph picked up the two poke balls and began to walk home. As he was walking down the road, a young boy ran past him. He had brown short hair and wore a red t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans.
"Excuse me" he said and continued to run to the port. Prof. Birch was just getting on his ship when the little boy ran up to him.
"Do you have any Pokemon left professor?"
"Oh, gee. I'm sorry Alex, that kid over there took the last ones."
"What, Joseph?"
"Don't you already have a Pokemon?"
"Yeah but I was hoping to get another one. I won't let Joseph get away with this, I'm gonna battle him and make him cry."
Alex ran down the road after Joseph. Professor Birch began to walk down the road in the direction that Alex was headed.
"Aren't we going to leave today professor?" asked the captain of the ship.
"We will, I just want to see Joseph's first battle."
