The Starting Line
The morning was quiet, there was no sound heard, until... a Fearow crowed loudly into the morning sky. This of course woke everybody in the surrounding area up, including a boy by the name of Jake Lowler. Now, Jake was just like any other boy in the Kanto region, he grew up with his parents, his mother being the towns Professor, and his dad being a Gym Leader for the next town over. He lived a more than normal life, he got to take care of the animals at the labratory, and help train his dad's pokemon.
When Jake was just four years old, he got his first pokemon, though it was called a 'pet' since he couldn't legally own it yet, this pokemon was a Seedot. Jake found Seedot just outside the house when he was four, and it looked like it had no home, so Jake asked his parents, and they said he could keep Seedot. Over the years, Seedot had become Jake's best friend, and even had his own nickname of 'Seed' now.
Jake had one other pokemon, that was a gift from his father for his seventh birthday, this pokemon was a Poliwag, seeing as how his father was a water gym leader, it fit perfectly that he would give him a Poliwag. Poliwag had also become a close friend of Jake's, but they had decided to keep her name as Poliwag. Jake was now waking up on the morning of his eleventh birthday, and was about to get ready to go to his mother's lab to get the stuff he would need for his journey.
"SHUT UP! You stupid bird!", yelled Jake to no one.
After Jake laid in bed thinking for a bit, he remembered...
"Crap! I have to get to the lab!", he reminded himself.
So after rushing through the morning, putting on clothes, grabbing a piece of burnt toast, and yelling to Seed and Poliwag to follow him quick, they ran to the lab, which was right next door of course.
"We're here!!", screamed Jake as he and his pokemon entered the lab.
"Oh, hi Jake, you do know that you didn't have to be here for another hour... right?", asked his mother.
"Oh... really?", asked Jake,"Well... can I still pick out a pokemon before everyone!?".
"Fine, here are the choices, Oddish, Natu, Krabby, and Growlithe", said his mother.
"Umm, well.. I kind of want a Natu!", said Jake excitedly.
"Ok then, just wait a second for me to fetch the pokeball", his mother explained.
"Okay", said Jake.
As his mother went into the back room to fetch the pokeball, Jake looked around and realized he would miss this place, but atleast on his journey he'd have Seed, Poliwag, and his newly caught Natu. Just as he finished thinking about this, his mother came out with 6 pokeballs, and a red computer type thing.
"Okay Jake, here are 5 empty pokeballs, and 1 with Natu in it, and also, here's your Pokedex, which will tell you the level, moves, and type of the pokemon you want to check, and also it will act as an ID for you if you have any trouble", explained his mother.
Jake used two of the Pokeballs to catch Seed and Poliwag, which they allowed quickly. Then he let both of them and Natu out of the Pokeballs.
"Here's 3000 we've been saving up for this day sweetie", said his mother, almost crying.
"Thank you mom, I think I'm ready to go", said Jake, hugging his mother.
"Okay son, you have a good time, don't get into any trouble, and call me every once in a while!", said his mother sternly.
"Yes mom", Jake said.
"I love you dear", cried his mom.
"I love you too mom", said Jake.
They finally broke apart, and Jake headed out the door, into his exciting adventure that was sure to come.
