An apartment, Goldenrod City
Find the others. Prevent chaos.
That was what the pokemon in his dreams has been saying every night since he turned eighteen two weeks ago.
Movement stirred him from his slumber. As he opened his eyes, he saw another pair looking into his. They were the eyes of his Flareon, Kara.
"Morning Kara," he said, sitting up.
He looked at the digital alarm clock. 11:30am.
Shit, I should've been up two hours ago.
A voice called from outside the door to his room. "Tony, Mom said that you better be up. You're going to be late for your meeting with professor Elm."
"I am up, sis. Also, don't call me Tony. I go by Piers."
"Whatever," was the only reply from his sister.
Piers stood up and grabbed a large bag with about a dozen different main pockets. In one of these pockets, he placed jewelers pliers, copper wire, and roughly thirty feet of leather cord. Afterwards, Piers went over to his closet to get dressed. He pulled on a black sleeveless shirt and gray cargo pants before tossing another set of clothes (black jeans, a white sleeveless, and a forest green long sleeved button down) in the bag. Almost as an afterthought he also threw a black hoodie in.
"Kara, think I've got everything?" he asked the pokemon. She shook her head, gracefully walked across the bed to the nightstand, and sat back down looking at something on it.
"Oh, right. I can't be forgetting these," stated Piers. He grabbed three things. First, a hair tie, which he immediately used to pull back his long black hair. Second, his PokéGear. And third was a small, black stone that had an dull red flame design on it attached to a leather cord. It was a used fire stone. He put the stone around his neck, grabbed the bag, slung it over one shoulder, and left the room, the Flareon following at his heels.
"Took you long enough," a person with a yellow hat said. Piers looked up and saw a friend of his. Ethan "Gold" Hibiki, a real hothead at times, but kind.
"Did the Prof tell you to come and see what was taking so long?" Piers asked him.
"Nah, I just didn't want to choose a starter without my traveling companion there," Gold replied.
"Fair enough, now lets get on our way. It's a fair walk from Goldenrod to New Bark Town."
Professor Elm's lab, New Bark Town
Where are those boys? They should've been here an hour ago, thought Professor Elm.
Just then, he heard the door to the lab open. Two people came through the door.
This must be them now. "Piers, Ethan, it's about time you got here."
However, these two people weren't the ones that Elm was expecting.
A/N: This is my first real attempt at writing a story. Reviews of all sorts are appreciated.
