Chapter 1: A new Journey!

"BLAZIKEN, QUICK! COUNTER HIS METEOR MASH WITH FLARE BLITZ!" I commanded in panic... I was petrified by Metagross' outstanding agility. It completely left me in shock. "I suppose Steven was EV training his Metagross" I mumbled to myself. EV's stood for Effort Values.

How do effort values or EV's work? It's very complicated, but I can tell you that you can feed your Pokémon vitamins such as proteins, carbos, etc. Doing so will boost your stat depending which vitamin you used.

"Metagross let's finish this battle! Levitate up until you reach the ceiling and then crash down like a meteorite with extra devastating power for your Earthquake!" Steven commanded with determination.

"Nooooooooo! I've failed my Nuzlocke challenge... R.I.P. Blaziken and my team that sacrificed so much to get here" I wept.

"Leo? Leo, wake up! LEO!"

I hopped out of my bed to find my Mother by my side.

"Geez Leo, you wet the bed again, were you dreaming of your Pokémon journey again?"

"Well your late! It's 12 and you were supposed to meet Professor Birch an hour ago!"

"Get cleaned up and shoot straight to his lab immediately! And no buts!" Yelled my Mom.

That was the last I heard of my mother before I left the house.

I decided not to visit my dream girl, May, because I didn't want to embarrass myself and make myself look like a complete idiot so I just ran to the lab as soon as possible.

But I found Professor Birch snoring like a Snorlax while having his feet on the table in his lab. I got a sinister sneer on my face and went to find a stick. I crept in like an elegant Weavile . I proceeded to poke him with a stick until he woke up.

"Young Man! That is very rude! Not to mention you're an hour late! Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Scowled the Professor.

"I uhh, came for my Pokémon !" , with a cheerful expression .

"Come this way , choose "

I want Torchic! Pokéball GO!" I yelled with such excitement.

"Where's the Pokémon?" I almost started to cry, my throat felt really dry. I thought someone had already taken my Pokémon that I've always been longing for.

"Oh that Torchic! Always leaving its Pokéball and getting into mischief." Groaned and face palmed the Professor.

"Well if you want it you have to go -"

"TORCHIC! Come here you little rascal!" I yelled with excitement.

I tackled the table like a football player trying to get his guy down. But the Torchic was too swift. Unfortunately for Professor Birch, I broke his Flower Glass.

"Oops!" I screamed. "I-I-I'm sorry!"

I cornered the Torchic and grabbed the Pokéball from my Jacket and threw it at the Torchic and finally the wild beast was tamed.

"Phew! Naughty Torchic, I think I'll name you Rascal, well see ya Prof! "I said; eager to leave the lab as soon as possible.

"STOP" Yelled the Prof across the room.

"Wow and I thought Grown Ups were supposed to have manners…" I whispered to myself.

"What did you s-, anyways, would you like to date my daughter May?"

That's what I wanted to hear but he actually said...

"Where are your manners? Wouldn't you like to go route 103? It's just up north from here"

"I uh, well sure but uh, oh my gosh, I don't know what to say. I'd be an honor to take your daughters hand in marriage."

The Prof looked at me with no expression on his face.

"Oh my Gosh did I really just say that?" Blushing uncontrollably I ran out of the room with excitement and said "Sure Prof!"

And thus my journey began.
