Before you start reading, I'd like to thank you for choosing this fan-fic, its my first one! Also I'd like to say that the main character, Nate, is not the main player character from Pokémon Black 2, despite having the same name. Again thank you, please enjoy it and leave a review!


The alarm clock vibrated for a brief moment, then was slammed hard by the downwards force of a fist. The clock read 7:00 AM. Through the crevasse of the curtains shone harsh sunlight, falling straight onto Nate's face. He turned over and the light hit his squinted eyes, he groaned.

"Na-ate! Get out of bed! You'll be late! The Ship arrives at 8:30!" Yelled Nate's mother from the kitchen downstairs. Nate tossed his bed cover aside and rose out of bed. He traipsed over to the bathroom and hopped into the shower. His Mum's words finally hit him, he realised it was the day!

After months of counting down, talking to graduates and reading stories online, Nate was finally going to become a student at the world famous Pokemon League Youth Apprentice University, or PLYAU for short. The university is run by the pokemon league association along with the government, so students do not have to pay to attend classes. The downside of this is- only a select three-hundred teens aged sixteen from around Johto and from other regions make the entry acquirements, and Nate was lucky enough to be one of them.

Nate jumped out the shower and dried himself quickly, returning to his room and put on the clothes his mum laid out for him the night before.

"Nate!" His mother called out again. "I'm going to do a few last minute chores before we leave!"

"Yeah Mum! I'm just coming now ok!" Nate called as he ran down the stairs. He walked into the kitchen to see his younger sister, Jessica, eating cereal and swinging her feet under her chair.

"Are you going to the play-you thingy today, Nate?" She said as she munched on the cereal. Nate looked into the bowl and on closer inspection he could see small Jigglypuff shaped marshmallows dotted around in between the cereal.

"You mean PLYAU, I've told you this over and over! P-L-Y-A-U, not P-L-A-Y-U! And mum told you you're not allowed to put Jiggly-mallows in your cereal anymore, you'll get fat then you'll be as round as an actual Jigglypuff!" Nate nagged at his sister. He has had to help his mum look after her ever since his dad and mum divorced.

"But they taste so good! You should catch a Jigglypuff when you're a Pokémon trainer!" She exclaimed as drop of Moo-Moo milk rolled down her chin.

"I'll tell you what, once I've graduated then maybe I-"

"-catch me a Jigglypuff?!" Jessica shrieked.

"Yes, I will catch you a Jigglypuff." He finished, just as he pulled his fingers out of his ears to protect him from the harsh scream of Jessica's excitement. "You have to take good care of it though, don't leave mum and Medicham to do all the work."

"Yay! I can't wait!" She picked up her bowl and gulped down the remaining Moo-Moo milk, shoved her bowl into the sink, then skipped into the living room humming a Jigglypuff's melody.

Nate's mum walked in through the back door wearing wellington boots and gardening gloves. She was holding a tattered wicker basket holding a mound full of an assortment of berries. She was followed by her Medicham, who was snacking on a Liechi berry.

"Medicham and I were just out in the front garden when Mrs. Williams from across the road came over to wish you good luck, she shared some of the berries from her garden and said she wanted you to take them with you! Isn't that nice?" Nate's mother picked up an Oran berry and handed it to him.

"That's really nice of her! But won't they probably get squished on the journey there?" Nate bit into the round, blue berry. It had a hard skin with a soft, mushy inside. "On second thought, maybe I will take some." He just couldn't resist Oran berries.

"Great! I'll put them in a container. Go and get your things! It's almost eight! We need some time to get to the harbour." Nate's mum answered. "Medicham will you pass me that box on the counter please?"

Medicham hopped over while Nate's mother started rinsing the berries as he went to get his belongings.

"Jess I'm leaving soon, you better not eat all those Jiggly-mallows while mum is dropping me off!" He called as he passed the living room and walked up the stairs. When he got to the landing he heard a muffled reply of "Jiggly-Jigglypuff!".

Nate got his suitcase and his backpack then met his mother at the front door. Medicham handed him the container packed with Mrs. William's berries. It was wrapped up in a red handkerchief with 'OLIVINE CITY: THE PORT CLOSEST TO FOREIGN LANDS' embroidered in gold thread in the corner.

"What's this?" Nate asked his mother.

"Oh just a little gift to say good luck! And don't forget your roots when you become big and famous!" His mum laughed.

"Thanks a bunch mum. I love it." he smiled. "Medicham, look after Jess while I'm gone okay?" Medicham smiled and punched the air to express her happiness.

"I'll be back soon, keep an eye on Jessica will you? Nate's mother said. Medicham nodded and hopped over to the living room. Nate and his mother said goodbye to Jessica, then left the house.
