Chapter 1: From Depressing Days To A Pokemon Party!

Wednesday, June 7th

Ten year old me was running. Running through Pallet Town, which to my dismay was just as big as my previous home town in Lavender Town. It was so depressing there, what with all the ghost types and cemeteries. But our new home was here in Pallet Town. We'd moved here for what I thought to be only one reason, for me to get my first Pokemon from Professor Oak. My mom however thought that first off, Lavender Town wasn't exactly the best place to raise kids. Secondly, it was just plain nicer. And my mom was good friends with Maya Oak, Blue Oak's mother. I'd never met Blue, but my mother and brother and knew him, him and my older brother were really good friends. And, I also guess that Blue was supposed to be one of the strongest trainers in the region, being the eighth and final Gym Leader.

I hate to admit it, but I was really childish at ten. Always getting into things I shouldn't have, thinking I could do everything and anything. But that was all about to change. So there I was, running towards the south end of town, and Professor Oak's lab was in sight. I could see the ocean too, I'd even gone swimming in it the day before, the day we'd moved here. The ocean had been surprisingly warm, it being so early in the summer. I ran around the front of the building, swinging open the glass door. The lights were off, but I knew exactly what to expect. I flipped the switch with the single movement of a finger.

"CONGRATS VIOLET!" Multiple people in the room yelled, jumping out of their hiding places. I grinned as wide as I could. There they all were, my twin cousins and their older sister, their parents, Professor Oak, Mark, my older brother, mom, Maya Oak, Blue's mom, Darren Oak, Blue's dad, Daisy Oak, Blue's older sister, and Rose Akai, the legendary Red's mother. I'd met many of these people the day before, when we moved in. The only two people that weren't there were Blue, stuck at the Gym, and my deadbeat dad, who I'd refused to see for years.

"This is awesome you guys!"

"I know right!"

"We helped plan too!" Those were my two younger cousins, twins, both at the age of eight, and both holding their Nidoran. Don't ask me how they got Pokemon before me but they did. Ryan had a male Nidoran, and Richard, a female.

I observed the lab, decorated with streamers, balloons, and a huge banner hung from the ceiling with little doodles and the words 'Congrats On Your First Pokemon' written across it, obviously made by the twins. There was even a table filled with food out for everyone, and a few gifts as well. It was almost like my birthday, but my cousins and aunt and uncle had actually come this time, all the way from the Hoenn region.

"I remember the first time I got my Pokemon!" That's my uncle Zeke, mom's brother.

"Don't bore the children with your stories Zeke, this is Violet's big day!" I smiled at my aunt Penny. I saw my fourteen year old cousin, the twins' older sister Valerie, leaning up against the wall, blowing a gum bubble and texting her friends on her iPhone. Valerie was a coordinator, and had started her journey four years ago with her first Pokemon, a Kecleon. And she had absolutely no interest in me.

"Congratulations Violet!" Rose, Red's mom said.

"Congrats kiddo!" Darren Oak added, his wife right next to him smiling at me.

"Choose wisely Violet." Daisy told me. I liked Daisy, she was nice and all. Finally I came up to my mom and brother.

"I can't believe this." One of my eyebrows went up at my mom, she looked like she was about to cry... "My only baby left is leaving!" She burst out into tears on my shoulder.

"Mo-om." I whined, holding her while she cried. My brother put a hand on her shoulder, encouraging her to stop embarrassing me.

"I-I'm sorry Violet. I just, I'm going to be so lonely at the house all by myself."

"It's alright mom! You have all of our new neighbors to hang out with!" Everyone smiled at my mother, until she smiled back as well. My brother Mark, who was seventeen, picked me up and spun me around.

"Little ole' Violet is finally growing up!" I laughed the whole time until he set me back on the ground. First, everyone ate. Next, I opened up presents. A brand new purple sling backpack to match my name, five Pokeballs to start off with, Potions, a bunch of other Pokemon related items, an iPhone (finally! But my mom only got it for me so I could call her...), some new clothes. Finally I came upon the last two boxes. Both lousily wrapped in newspaper. The first one I opened, a brand new specially made purple Pokedex (the whole buying purple things for a girl named Violet is kind of getting old...).

"Now Violet, I expect you to be a trainer to the best of your abilities, and do your best to help me complete the Pokedex!" I grinned and nodded.

"Of course Professor!" I then went for the final box. I knew what was in there. Three Pokeballs. I got to choose one to travel with me across the Kanto region. I unwrapped the box carefully. I held my breath. Then, I opened the small case inside, to reveal three ping-pong sized Pokeballs. I could hold all three in one hand, but had to hold them in two when I enlarged all of the Pokeballs. I then threw all three up into the air, and three Pokemon appeared in front of me. I knew very well what all three were called, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Suddenly, a huge Pokemon appeared from Mark's pocket, knocking over a whole table. His own starter Pokemon, now fully evolved, Venusaur.

"Sauur!" Venusaur began gently playing with the other three starters and the Nidoran, who jumped down from Ryan and Richard's arms.

"Venusaur! Uh, sorry about that Professor."

"No problem at all Mark! Venusaur just likes to play with the younger Pokemon. We all watched the Pokemon play, while I got Pokedex entries on all six Pokemon.

"So who are you going to choose Violet?" Mark asked me, after giving all the Pokemon a bowl of Poke Food. I looked thoughtfully at all three of them, who all looked back up at me, each wanting me to take them with me. Except for Squirtle, who looked way too egoistic and independant for me. Bulbasaur was too shy. My eyes then fell on Charmander. I smiled and crouched down, petting the small fire type's head.

"I choose you Charmander." Charmander smiled at me, showing off all the food in his mouth, causing everyone to laugh while they cheered for me. I sighed in relief. I finally have a Pokemon. Thanks everyone. I was way too lucky at this point, getting my first Pokemon only months after I turned ten, many kids had to wait a year or more. Having this party and all these people here. But trust me, it was all about to get thrown back into my face, hard.

I had packed all of my things, and gotten ready to leave Pallet Town only a day after I'd gotten there. Charmander and I were already getting along great, and we were about to leave Pallet Town with my brother, who was just going to go with us to Viridian City. Mark, my brother, has light brown hair and wears a different baseball cap every day. Today, in honor of the move, he was wearing a cap with the words 'Pallet Town' across the front, only he was wearing the cap backwards. He has light brown eyes to match that hair, and was wearing a pair of tan cargo shorts and a plain white polo shirt. I wasn't really listening to what Mark was saying, only playing with the small male Charmander I was carrying.

"You know, I wonder when you'll meet your rival." I looked up, Charmander looking disappointed that I'd stopped playing with him.

"Since when do I need a rival?" I asked him.

"Well, you don't necessarily need one, but pretty much everybody makes a rival in someone. Remember Natalie?" Natalie Gerreth had been my brother's girlfriend, until she left for the Sinnoh region. I nodded my head yes, surprised that he'd brought her up. Ever since their break up Mark hadn't liked talking about her.

"Well, before we got together we were huge rivals, and she was always furious that I always beat her in battles."

"So I'll probably meet someone like that eventually?"

"Probably. But you'll also make a lot of new friends too. I have everywhere I've gone!" Mark had already traveled through the Kanto, Johto, Unova, Hoenn, and then through Kanto again, all in that order.

"Hey you guys!" We looked up to see two guys, one about my age while the other was more Mark's age, running towards us. "Could you two battle us?" The older one asked.

"Um, I'm not sure if that's such a great idea. My sister literally just got her Charmander today."

"Char!" Charmander cried out in joy at the sound of his name.

"Well, I know you're an experienced trainer, and my brother is pretty new at this whole trainer thing too." Mark looked at me.

"Let's do it!" I said.

"Alright then!" It was to be a two on two battle, each of us only using one Pokemon. We got ready, then the battle began.

"Aand, GO!" Mark shouted. Charmander jumped down from my arms while the others released their Pokemon.

"I choose you Weedle!" The boy my age sent out what looked like a bug type Pokemon.

"Weavile, battle stance!" The older brother sent out a very interesting black Pokemon with a red hood type thing. Finally it was Mark's turn.

"Dragonair, up and at em'!" He sent out his Dragonair. Both the younger brother and I got out our Pokedexes to get entries on all of the Pokemon.

"Weedle the hairy bug Pokemon. Often found in forests and grasslands. It has a sharp, toxic barb of around two inches on top of its head."

"Weavile, the sharp claw Pokemon. It lives in snowy regions. It carves patterns in trees with its claws as a signal to others."

"Dragonair, the dragon Pokemon. It is said to live in seas and lakes. Even though it has no wings, it has been seen flying occasionally." I stuck the device back into my pocket as the opposing team made the first move.

"Weedle, use String Shot!"

"Dodge it Dragonair!" I wasn't fast enough, and couldn't even get a word out before Charmander was wrapped in a sticky silk.

"Weavile, use Metal Claw on Charmander!"

"Dragonair counter with Iron Tail!" The two steel type attacks clashed, canceling each other out. Dragonair then used Iron Tail to free Charmander. "You gotta act faster than that sis!" I nodded, now ready.

"Use Poison Sting Weedle!" The small purple stingers shot at our Pokemon, which Dragonair easily dodged.

"Scratch Charmander!" Charmander managed to avoid getting hit by using the attack I commanded. Suddenly out of nowhere Weavile came at Charmander using Night Slash, I hadn't even noticed it's trainer commanding the move! But Mark must have, because Dragonair once again covered us with Dragon Tail.

"You've got to pay attention to both of them Violet!" I nodded, knowing that Mark was getting frustrated. "I'll hold off Weavile, you and Charmander take care of Weedle!"

"Kay! Charmander, use Scratch!" Charmander obeyed, and Weedle was knocked backwards.

"Poison Sting!"

"Scratch!" Charmander couldn't block out all of the purple shots though, and got hit a couple times. Thank Arceus he didn't get poisoned! I watched out of the corner of my eye as Weavile tried to get past Dragonair, but ended up getting hit with a powerful Aqua Tail, before the two became locked in a standoff again.

"Use String Shot Weedle!"

"Dodge it and use Growl!" Charmander succeeded in lowering our opponent's attack. Wow, I thought to myself. Even though Charmander and Weedle are still weaker Pokemon, this is probably the most intense thing that's ever happened to me!

"Poison Sting again!" This time Charmander was hit head on with the attack, and didn't look so well when he landed on the ground in front of me.

"Charmander!"

"Ha! This is exactly what I wanted to happen! Charmander's poisoned!" He basically sang the last part of his stupid little speech, just like the little kid he was.

"Oh yeah!? Well watch this! Charmander, use Ember!" Charmander looked at me like I was stupid.

"Um, I don't think he knows Ember yet." My opponent said.

"Well, don't Pokemon learn new moves in tough spots like this?"

"I don't know. I only started out on my journey yesterday."

"NO THEY DON'T!" The both of us jumped when our older brothers yelled at us, at exactly the same time. They were really getting into it.

"So I guess we should keep going." The other guy said, shrugging.

"Probably. Charmander, use Scratch!"

"Dodge it and use String Shot!"

"Jump over the attack and use Scratch again!" This time Scratch hit and Weedle fell to the ground unconscious.

"Weedle!"

"Aw, great! Now I have to finish this on my own!" The younger boy looked at his brother in annoyance before returning Weedle to it's Pokeball. Mark told me to stay out of his part of the battle, and eventually Mark won. While those two got into a trash talk thing, I walked over to the younger boy who was giving his Weedle a Potion.

"You battled really well. Well, at least I think you did." He looked up at me and smiled.

"Thanks! You did good to. My names James. My brother is Kyle. Sorry about him, if you know what I mean."

"Yeah that's alright. My names Violet." We watched the two teens duke it out for a minute. "So I guess they're going to want us to rivals after this huh."

"Yeah. My brother won't ever let me hang out with you after this, which is stupid cuz' both you and your brother seem pretty cool. My brother is a stupid hot head."

"I feel ya. My brother isn't so cool all the time either." We sat there in silence for a minute. "I know!" I suddenly said, both Pokemon and James looking up at me. "We can be like friendly rivals, you know, hang out and stuff but still battle! Then when our brother's are around, we can just act like we hate each other."

"Nice!" James and I high-fived, and I sat behind him on the log he was on while we watched our angry brothers finally stop arguing. Then they the both of them yanked us in opposite directions, Mark yanking me towards Viridian City. We spent the night on Route 1 and arrived in Viridian the early the next afternoon. We each got a room at the Pokemon Center, Mark deciding to stay the night before heading back to Pallet. I couldn't wait till the next morning though, because tomorrow, I was going to pull off my master plan, the one I'd had for so many years! And you'll never guess what it is!
