Narrator: Our story begins with our hero, Ryan McCrimmon, a boy from Vaniville Town in the Kalos region. Having just turned ten, Ryan is able to get his Pokémon license, and start his journey to become a Pokémon master.

Ryan is sleeping in bed, when his alarm clock goes off. The boy whacks the clock with a fist. Getting out of bed, Ryan yawns and stretches. Going into the bathroom, he turns on the sink and splashes his face. Then he puts on his glasses.

Ryan: "Oh yeah! I'm ten now!"

Ryan hurriedly changes out of his pajamas and into proper clothes. He rushes into the dining room, where his older brother James is sitting munching on cereal. A Greninja is sitting beside James. Grabbing a bowl and spoon, Ryan joins his brother and his Pokemon at the table.

James (as Ryan's pouring his cereal): "So. Ready to become a Pokemon trainer?"

Ryan (as he pours milk into the bowl): "Oh yeah, I can't wait."

James: "Which Pokemon do you think you'll choose?"

Ryan: "I'm not sure. I mean, you chose Froakie and look at it now."

He gestures to Greninja, who looks proud.

James: "You don't need to copy everything I do. Just choose the Pokemon you think you'll have the greatest connection with."

Ryan (Smiling): "Thanks James."

James: "Hey, no problem Squirt. That's what older brothers are for."

Ryan (Smirking): "I thought you said older brothers were for torturing younger brothers."

James (Smirking too): "Ha, well, that too."

Once he finished with his breakfast, Ryan rushes to the front door, his vest and hat on a rack there. Once those two items of clothing are on, the boy runs out of the house and to Professor Sycamore's lab.

Ryan (as he arrives): "Professor?"

Professor Sycamore walks into the room.

Sycamore :"Why hello there. I'm Professor Sycamore. You must be Ryan."

Ryan: "Yes sir. Might you remember my brother, James? He was here once. The Froakie he chose is well-trained, and it's a Greninja now. Anyway, I'm ready to choose a Pokemon."

Sycamore: "Oh yes, I remember him. He was an interesting trainer. Well, here are your three choices."

Professor Sycamore sends out Chespin, Froakie and Fennekin.

Sycamore: "This is Chespin, the grass type. Froakie, a water type. And Fennekin, the fire type."

There's a pause, in which Ryan is contemplating his choice, as well as remembering what James had said.

Ryan: "Chespin. I'm choosing Chespin."

Chespin smiles proudly at him. Fennekin and Froakie congratulate their friend. The Grass Type jumps onto Ryan's shoulder, earning a puzzled look from the trainer.

Ryan: "Wouldn't you rather be in a Pokeball?"

Chespin shakes its head. Comprehension dawns on Ryan's face.

Ryan: "Professor, I think this particular Chespin is what some refer to as a 'walking Pokemon'. Are you familiar with the term?"

Sycamore: "Yes I am. I forgot to mention this Chespin never liked being in its Poke Ball. Only when it was in the Poke Ball, it was sleeping. Before I forget, here is your Pokedex."

Professor Sycamore gives Ryan a Pokedex.

Sycamore: "I presume you know how a Pokedex works, from your brother."

Ryan: "Yeah, he's shown me. Oh, and he also told me that I'm supposed to also get some Pokeballs with it. I don't mean to criticize you Professor, but that's what I was told."

Professor Sycamore gives Ryan five Pokeballs.

Sycamore: "Some trainers don't want them, and recently no-one has, so I guess it slipped my mind."

Ryan: "Oh. Well thank you Professor."

Sycamore: "Take care on your journey."

As Ryan turns to leave, he's nearly run into by a teenager.

Ryan: "Whoa!"

Chespin: "Ches!"

The teenager turns around and sees Ryan and Chespin.

Nate: "Whoa! So, you picked Chespin?"

Ryan: "Yeah. I'm Ryan by the way."

He holds out a hand.

Nate: "I'm Nate."

Nate shakes Ryan's hand.

Nate: "I'm helping the professor out with some study work at the moment."

Ryan: "That's cool.I guess you could say I'm doing that as well in a way."

He holds up his Pokedex.

Ryan: "Although we're doing different types of 'study work' I'm assuming."

Nate: "Yeah. I hope you enjoy your journey Ryan."

Ryan: "Thanks Nate. Bye!"

Ryan runs out of the lab, and back to his house. James and Greninja are out front, and see him and Chespin arrive.

James: "I see you followed my advice."

Ryan: "You were right. I did feel a connection. I think Chespin and I will be a great team. Maybe even better than you and Greninja!"

James: "Hey, even if that happens, you'll still be a squirt to me."

He pulls his younger brother's hat off and ruffles his hair.

Ryan: "Hey!"

He snatches his hat back, putting it back on.

James: "Either way, good luck."

Ryan: "Are you sure you don't want to join me? I know you said you didn't when I was younger, but I let you think about it for this long."

James: "Nah, I don't think Mom and Dad could handle how quiet it is. Greninja and I have to pick up the slack while you're gone."

Ryan: "Ha, we always did keep them on their toes with our fights didn't we? Wow, that seems so long ago now."

James hugs his brother, nearly knocking Chespin off Ryan's shoulder.

James: "Oops, sorry Chespin."

Chespin smiles, showing it was okay.

Ryan: "Good luck buttface."

He holds out a hand. Smirking James shakes it.

James: "You too no-brains."

Both Pokemon trainers laugh. Waving to his brother and Greninja, Ryan begins to walk down the path.

Ryan (thinking): "I wonder what adventures we'll have on this journey? Well, It'll be awesome to find out!"

Chespin suddenly jumps off Ryan's shoulder and runs ahead of him. Laughing the trainer follows the Grass Type down the path.

Narrator: Ryan has gotten his first Pokemon, Chespin. Now, with his Pokemon Partner, Ryan begins his Journey around the Kalos Region. What will be in store for our young hero? Stay tuned.
