The year is 2012, April 28.
Chapter 1: Starters with my Brother.
" Big Sis! You better hurry up!" Brendon screamed from the bottom of the stairs.
" Im almost ready! Hold on!" A young female voice said from the top of the stairs. Off in a corner of the living room, A chubby Persian sleeps soundly on the hard floor. In the kitchen, A dad prepares what is thought to be lunch for three people. All was quiet except for the bickering of the children.
After a minute, A young girl appears at the top of the stairs. She wears a white hat with a pink pokeball as a design, along with it a pink skirt and also white scarf. A vast color difference to her hazel green eyes and waist length, dark brown, Hair. Behind her back was a backpack as big as her torso. It was black with hot pink lines to show were the zippers are.
" You guys ready for the trip to Sandgem town?" The father asked while cutting apples for his children. The man looked more like his daughter with dark hair and a mustache to accompany it.
" Heck yea! Brendon are you ready?" The little girl pracly jumped down the stairs to met up with her younger sibling.
" Yea! Dad, Are we going to get Pokemon this time?"
The dad looked over to the girl with the look of " Are you really asking that?"
Both of the kids got the message and the little girl just had to pouted.
" But Im only two years away! What difference does that make!" The little girl threw her hands up into the air dramatically. The father looked to his elder daughter. They've had this conversation before and he was not willing to have it again.
" The difference is that you still need to go to school and that ten is the legal age to explore. You just don't know how dangerous it can be Alexis." Alexis, As she was named, watched as her Dad went back to making to what she thought were their lunches. Her brother went ahead and sat down at the TV, were a children's' Show called " The adventures of Roserade" played. It was basically a show were a Bedew and it's trainer travel around Sinnoh in hopes of evolving the Pokemon into it's fully evolved stage.
Alexis just pouted some more as she watched her dad, this went on until he looked over to her sighed. To the little girl, there was nothing wrong with going on an adventure around the world. All of her other school friends already have Pokemon of their own, ranging from Everyday Sinnoh Pokemon to Pokemon commonly found in other regions.
It was stupid that her own father wouldn't at least give her one of his powerful ones for show and tell.
" Sweetheart, How bout you take your brother and play outside while I finish up."
The little girl beamed at that.
" Bub-Bub, Get up! We're going outside to play a little!" Alexis started to jump up in down in excitement, their father took the excitement as a child just ready to just have fun outside.
Brendon, After listening to the whole conversation, was ready to go and was already almost out the door. As Alexis started out the door, her father couldn't stress out one rule they always had when outside.
" Stay Out of the the tall grass!" and just like that, the two children were out the door. David just had to shake his head, "those two are just like me.." he had finished the lunches awhile ago and was actually preparing dinner for their return from shopping in Sandgem. As he did that, David couldn't help but remember his time as a trainer. The well loved Persian sat in the corner, sound asleep.
Alexis couldn't help but have the biggest grin on her face, as she ran through the small town named Twinleaf. Her brother was behind her having a tough time staying close behind. The wind wiped past their faces and nether took notice as they had a destination. They had decided to go straight to the " Legend Lake" as the two would call it. It's a big lake with a small cave in the middle of it. The locals believe that a mythical Pokemon is said to live in that cave.
But the sibling didn't really believe it. And even if they did, Alexis doubts that out of everybody in the world, they would be one of the many few to see it.
When the two had gotten to the fork in the road, Alexis stopped the younger child. "Hey Brendon, I have an Idea, Lets try catching one of the Pokemon here. If we do, then dad might see that we're able to handle ourselves out here just fine."
" But sis, We don't-"
" Have any pokeballs?" Alexis interrupted. Before Brendon could say anything, she pulled of the backpack she'd been carrying the whole time and dug into it. " While I was getting dressed, I saw these empty pokeballs just sitting on dad's wardrobe."
After a second, Alexis pulled out four pokeballs out of her backpack and handed them to her brother. Then she grabbed four more for herself.
" We can use these to catch a wild Pokemon for ourselves." Alexis beamed with so much excitement that it could blind a person.
" But Sis.."
" No buts Brother! On the count of three, we'll both run straight into the grass a find our soon to be life partner!" Brendon was concerned about their safety on a whole new level, he didn't much care for being a Pokemon trainer Like his big sister, but he knew she was being reckless.
It was very out of nature for her, in Brendon's opinion.
" Ready? Alright, One…. Two…" Alexis got into what she thought was a runner's start off position. Brendon just held close to the pokeballs in his hands.
" THREE!"
Just as Alexis took a few running steps a voice stopped her in her tracks.
" I hope you plan on using a Pokemon to help you!" The voice sounded mature and in some way wise beyond years. It sounded…. Well old. Both children turned around to see an old man walking their way, Behind him was a younger boy proply a few years older than Alexis. Said younger boy was in red and blue's while the older man was in brown and gray's…. The gray's is his hair on closer inspection.
Once the other pair got close enough, the old man continued. " Now, If I had not stopped you two just now, one of you could have gotten very hurt."
" And the other could have gotten a pokemon! Why must you stop me cruel world." The old man just ignored Alexis's snarky remark. The boy gave her the mean eye.
" I say this because it seems neither of you have pokemon and well…" Alexis taped her foot impatiently while Brendon looked back towards the small town. The smell of fresh water and grass consumed the four people.
" It seems as though from what i've heard from the girl, That you two are readying to start your own adventure. And just so happens I need someone to do just that."
The old man looked at the two children. Just by first impressions, The Girl definitely needs a good whipping in the butt, and going across Sinnoh would do her character some good as well. As for the smaller boy, Having someone older than him would help his anxious mind, an a Pokemon would be the same thing but better.
" Let's make a deal. Lucas, If you mind handing me my suitcase." The old man looked over to the boy, Lucas, as he instructed him. Lucas apparently understood what the man wanted to do.
" But sir! I doubt they are even close to ten right now!" He protested, reluctancy handing over the case.
" Nonsense, everybody need to met Pokemon at some point, and for them." The old man looked back over to the siblings.
" That time is now!"
The old man presented the case to the children. " In here are three rare Pokemon, here is the deal, I will give one of them to each of you and a pokedex in exchange that you help me with my researcher."
Alexis's mouth opened wide to what she was hearing, she was getting her own Pokemon! And a rare one at that!
" I call choosing the first one!" She blurted out without thinking. Lucas and the old man just sighed in defeat.
" Since there are two of you, you both can work on two different subjects." The old man pointed to Brendon and motioned him to come forward. Timidly Brendon stepped up as the old man opened the case. Alexis pouted.
" Before I present to you,your first pokemon, May I have your name and what your dreams are?" The man had gotten onto his knees to get face to face with Brendon. In a way it made him more relaxed, especially when it was an adult.
" My name is Brendon Ferguson, and I've always wanted to safely travel Sinnoh and just make new friends."
" Boring dream I must say." Alexis rudely intervened. It was the man's turn to look at her in a disappointed manner. That shut her up quickly.
" Well Brendon, I shall task you with filling the Pokedex up and learning more about how Pokemon live and learn with humans. Here choose." The old man brought the case up again waited to see what Brendon would do. Without any thought, Brendon swiped the pokeball on the far right.
Now in his hand, The ball felt chilly as energy radiated from it.
Lucas stepped up to Brendon and hands him a weird looking box.
" This is an official Pokedex, Take good care of it kiddo." Lucas couldn't help but give the way smaller boy a small proud smile. Brendon ended up walking back to his original spot, he couldn't stop looking at the pokedex.
" Now you, Young woman." The man pointed to the other child. Alexis walked up to him jumping for joy when he showed her the case.
Before taking her first and forever friend, Alexis took a stance and gladly pronounced, " My name is Alexis Ferguson, And I dream of defeating every champion from every region!"
Lucas was starting to get amused with her, " She won't last a day before running back home to her parents." he thought. In fact, he could already imagine it.
" Alright Alexis, Then I shall task you with Catching as many Pokemon as you can, Then evolving them to their full potential. Here, Choose."
Before anyone could do anything else, Alexis swiped up the pokeball closest to her.
It felt like it could burn her hand any second as the energy radiated up her arm. Her smile, If possible, grew even bigger.
Right before Alexis could thank them, A pokedex was handed to her.
" And this," Lucas opened and closed it, " Is your very own dex. Take good care of it."
" Oh Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" Alexis toke the dex from Lucas and jumped up to give him a big hug. The other didn't expect it at all and thus awkwardly hugged the smaller girl in turn.
After the hug was over, Alexis stepped backwards until she was right next to Brendon Again.
The man was the first to speak.
" Know that you two have your own Pokemon, meaning you can register to be Trainers and compete in the league this year…. Or the next." He spoke in a professional tone, vastly different to the tone he gave the two when handing them their Pokemon and such.
The man closed the briefcase and stood to his full height. It was impressive to Alexis, Because she was small, even for her own age.
She ended up stumbling over her next few words " And um.. Where do we go to do that?"
The man looked down to her.
" Well, There is a pokecenter Near my lad that does it. So How bout this." He put one on his hands on his chin in thought. " If you can make it to the next town over with at least two Pokemon, Then My Assistant, Lucas, will escort you to that Pokecenter."
" Yes sir!" Lucas Chimed in faking his excitement.
" Well, Good luck you two." The man said as he walked off to Sandgem, The town closest to Twinleaf. Lucas hastily tried to follow him and right before downright sprinting, Lucas turned around a said,
" And Whatever you end up doing or thinking, Just know that your Pokemon will always be willing to do it with you!" And with that, Lucas tried his best to stay next to the man, who was walking relatively fast for an old one.
Both the sibling just looked at each other, Brendon was ready to just go home for the day, the excitement was much more than he wanted at the moment, While Alexis was itching to to go home and a officially get ready for her big adventure. But either way, They both could agree that home was the first place to go. But before that, Alexis had a better Idea.
" Hey Bub-Bub, Do you want to test out our new friends?" Alexis raised the pokeball that's just sat in her right hand the whole time.
" Do we have to?"
" Yep, And the winner gets to…." Alexis had to think for a minute, looking around at all the tall trees and tall grass.
" Compete in the Pokemon League!"
It was a tall, unreasonable, Challenge but, Brendon knew he wouldn't here the end of it if he said no, and she'd take it as a lose. Besides, Who wouldn't want to know what their mystery Starter is?
" Fine, But only because I'd never here the end of it."
And at that, Brendon raised the ball in his right hand and threw it into the sky, Alexis backed up a little and did the same. They both did because that's how the people on TV would throw them, The siblings could only guess.
Immediately The two pokeballs grew bigger and opened up to release a white light of energy.
