A/N: Hey, what's up! This technically isn't my first fanfic, but it is the first one I've worked on by myself. Remember, that I AM STILL NEW! I can't take all the credit though, my friends did help me! I also am not taking credit for the creators of Pokemon, Nintendo, and Gamefreak.

Chapter 1:

I got up early today. There was no way I was sleeping today. I was so pumped! Before I get ahead, I guess I should explain why I'm so excited for today. You see to day is the day I start my journey, my journey to become a Pokemon master!

Immediately after I finished my breakfast I scooped up my bag and raced towards the door.

"Where do you think you're going, young lady?" That's my mom; she used to be a Pokemon trainer too, She even said she beat the elite!

"Are you sure you have everything packed?" she questioned me.

"There's not really much to pack," I said. All I had was 5 bottles of water, 10 sandwich sized bags of snacks, 5 potions, and a map of Kanto in my light brown messenger bag; after all, I was just starting out for the first time.

"Before you go, I have something for you," mom said.

She reached behind her back and pulled out a small rectangle box covered in wrapping paper. I took the package from her and tore open the paper.

"The new running shoes!, Mom you're awesome" I said as I hugged her.

"It was no problem, now I don't want to keep you from getting you're first Pokemon. Go on to Professor Oak's lab," She said.

"Bye mom," I waved goodbye

"Bye, don't forget to visit me sometime" she said back.

Finding Professor Oak's lab wasn't hard. After all, we do both live in Pallet Town. I was just about to enter the brick building when...

THUD!

So that was the first chapter! I know it's not long, but the chapters should get longer as I get farther. Special thanks to OlympianGod, Troll Doll, and my WONDERFUL classmates for helping me out! =3

And guys, PLEASE NO FLAMES! If you want to help me then try to say it nicely not like: OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE A LOZER FOR DOING THAT! I have already gotten one review message like this, and one is ENOUGH, (I will not mention names unless you REAALLY piss me off!) and am SERIOUSLY mad right now! I am just starting out and don't need any negativity! X(
