Disclaimer: This is my first fanfiction and therefore might suck. All suggestions on how to improve my writing are welcome. I do not own Pokemon, all pokemon and the majority of characters are owned by Gamefreak and Nintendo. This will be a whole series about some random trainer I made up going through Kanto and catching em' all and that stuff. This also follows some of the plot from gen 1 but in my own way (because fanfiction my dudes)

Please note this is not the whole fanfiction and just the prologue. It will be probably be shorter than I would like it to be. Anyways, with all that stuff out of the way, here comes a boring fanfiction.

Prologue

Lavender Town

The girl rushed down the street cradling the injured Pikachu in her arms. She stopped in front of the Pokemon Center looking in horror at the broken door. People in black suits with red "R"s on their shirts snatched away injured Pokemon while the nurse lay unconscious on the floor. She continued running with her Pikachu, bruised and poisoned, in her arms.

It was another ordinary day. Until the Rockets showed up. These crooks beat up anybody who tried to protect their Pokemon. No one could escape the town in time to warn the Gym Leaders. They were trapped. The girl's Pikachu tried to stop them, but got poisoned and beat up by a grunt's Koffing.

A Cubone on the town's outskirts was cornered by a group of grunts holding electric rods to beat the poor thing senseless. Suddenly a Marrowak jumped in and smashed its bone against his face. "Why you little." The grunt stood back up swinging again and again relentlessly with the electric rod until the Marrowak stopped breathing.

In the aftermath of this disaster, a Cubone's cries could be heard all throughout the night. A tower was built in honor of Marrowak and the other Pokemon killed. Team Rocket had forever scarred this town...

Two years later

*beep beep beep!*

The alarm continued on and on until being thrown out the window and nailing a passing Pidgey. Ugh...wait a second...OH NO! I AM SUPPOSED TO GET MY FIRST POKEMON TODAY! Lukas jumped out of bed and rushed out the door before his parents could react. Professor Oak was taking care of the lab Pokemon when Lukas crashed right into him. "OHMYGOSH I AM SO SORRY PROFESSOR." "Calm down." Replied Oak, "I'm guessing you're here for your first Pokemon?" "Yes! Do you still have one for me?" Lukas asked hopefully. "They are all gone. I'm so sorry, but I suppose hitting Pidgeys with alarm clocks is better." Oak said sarcastically. Lukas didn't care how Oak knew this but was much more worried about what he would do now. His father was formerly one of the best trainers in Kanto; and he didn't want to disappoint him being the only non trainer in his family. "Please Professor! I will accept any Pokemon, I can't go home without one!" "Heh, you are just like your father, except for getting here on time...anyways, come this way."

As they walked into the lab, Oak continued, "There is this one Squirtle I still have...but it has some...issues." "Like what?" Lukas asked curiously. "Two years ago, I got him from Lavender Town, he refused to obey any trainer I offered him to." "Can I have him?" Lukas asked. "I don't see why not, I'm just concerned, it might not be the best choice for a starter." Oak saw how desperate Lukas was, maybe things will work out this time, Oak thought.

The professor handed Lukas a pokeball containing the Squirtle, and he headed back home to put on his traveling gear and check out his new companion. "Alright, here it goes." He released the Squirtle from the ball. The blue turtle looked around confused at the new enviroment until he saw his new trainer; that is when he realized Oak had handed him to ANOTHER nut job. "Hey Squirtle, I'm Lukas, your new trainer." Squirtle replied by shooting water in his face. This was going to be tough.

Lukas and Squirtle were just about to leave Pallet Town (against Squirtle's will) when someone jumped out from the tall grass. "AAAAAAH" Lukas screamed. "Jeez man, chill out, it was just a joke."

It was Eric.

Eric and Lukas have always been best friends and rivals, although Eric has some issues with "pranks". "Sooo...what Pokemon did you choose?" "This guy." Lukas pointed at the rebellious Squirtle that had somehow fallen asleep. "Wow, too bad I chose Bulbasaur which has the type advantage over yours." "Doesn't mean you will win." Lukas replied, "Grass type or not, you still can't beat me." "We'll see." Said Eric. "So where are you going next?" "No idea" "How about Pewter City? It's the closest gym that's not closed. Some jerk wouldn't let anybody into the Viridian Gym."

"Well, see you later, I'm going to go try to train this Squirtle." Lukas sighed looking at the annoying snoozing thing."

Let the struggle begin.

Well there you go. My first and probably worst fanfiction. (Hey, at least I enjoyed writing it, so hopefully you enjoy reading it) I will try to make another chapter as soon as I can but family stuff and school might delay the next chapter. So to make up for it, I will try to make it less boring in chapter 2. Chapter 3 or 4 will be when Lukas challenges Brock hopefully. I appreciate any suggestions on how to improve my work. Sooo if anybody reads this, please give your opinion on the story, thanks.
