Chapter One: Our Heroine!
Osaka was born in, you guessed it, Osaka, a region near Unova. When she was ten, she moved to Johto, were she made two very good friends. One of them was an eccentric girl who dubbed her Osaka, the name easily stuck, even after moving to Kanto last month. Today, Osaka is going to receive her first Pokemon, as someone Prof. Kurosawa has decided is worthy of going into the world with her own Pokedex. The main problem being, however, that most view her as a moron, unfit to even own a Pokemon, much less undertake this giant task. The largest offenders being a girl named Kagura who has only Osaka(and sometimes Chihiro) to quench her thirst for competition and Chihiro, merely wanting to learn from her peers. With this information, let's begin!

Osaka was standing in front of Prof. Kurosawa's laboratory, having managed to doze off just outside. Her dream was a vivid one that included her watching Magikarp perform a musical in a cabbage sea. She was the first to arrive, but hadn't gone in when Chihiro arrived.
"Um, Osaka." Chihiro said while shaking Osaka to wake her.
"You're not a Magikarp," Osaka stated. "I'm getting a Pokemon today," she said proudly to Chihiro.
"I'm getting one too, remember?" She replied, "Let's go in and get them now."
They walked into Kurosawa's lab, in all of it's florescent light and machinery. Three Pokemon were sitting on the table at the far end of the room: Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur. The Bulbasaur was sleeping and the Charmander was chasing his tail, something wich seemed to interest the Squirtle, but not as much as the people who had just entered the room. He nudged the Bulbasaur and pointed in the girls' direction. The Bulbasaur yawned in return. Kurosawa was sitting in a chair to the side, reading a novel.
"Hey Professor," Chihiro exclaimed, "These Pokemon look great," She had her eyes on the Squirtle as she said this.
Kurosawa looked up from her book. "Oh yes, they are specially chosen for beginning trainers such as yourselves," She informed, "Since you two got here first you may go ahead and claim one of them for yourselves."
Chihiro rushed to the table, she wanted to make her decision carefully, this was likely to decide who her close companion would be for years to come. The memories she would make and the battles she would endure with them. For her, it was mind-blowing. "I think..." She began.
"Bulbasaur." said Osaka.
The Pokemon in question looked directly at Osaka, trying to figure out why it's name has been called. The door behind them bashed open.
"I'm here for my Charmander!" Kagura shouted from the open door.
Take Squirtle or take nothing. Chihiro felt like she was just robbed, and had a disappointed look on her face.
"Guess that means you get Squirtle, huh Chihiro," Kurosawa remarked, seemingly unaware of Chihiro's feelings.
"yeah... I guess so," She replied.
"Well go ahead and nickname them," Kurosawa continued.
"Dragon!" Kagura shouted, now having moved to the table.
"Bubbles," Chihiro decided.
"Do what?" Osaka replied, Pokemon got nicknames?
"Here are your supplies," Kurosawa handed bags to each of the girls, "There is a Pokedex, five Pokeballs, your current Pokemon's Pokeball, maps and a few potions."
"I challenge you to a battle right here and now!" Kagura pointed straight to Osaka, "Come on Dragon." As she said this the Charmander jumped from his position on the table, already accepting his nickname, and flexed his right bicep.
"Oh, um, come on Salad!" The Bulbasaur began walking in Osaka's direction, fell of the table, landing head first, and wobbled to her.
"How cool!" Chihiro exclaimed, "Come over here Bubbles, let's watch."
Author's Notes:
That concludes chapter one. I can assure any readers new to this fic that later chapter improve greatly, namely 5 and 6 as of now. There will exist elements from anime, games and manga, but much of it will be original also. If it wasn't for plot points, I would actually suggest skipping to chapter 5, or maybe just 4.
