Brian: Starting in Kanto
Chapter One: Intro
A/N: I do not own pokemon, only my own story and my own characters.
The smell of wet grass reached his nostrils. Brian, a young boy was sitting outside his house with his eyes closed, leaning a chair against the wall. The spring was finally here. It had just stopped raining and the sun came creeping through the clouds. A light but cold breeze came through the trees making his dark brown hair sway gently in the wind. Brian opened his pale gray eyes and looked out on the scenery. Tomorrow he would meet up with his best friend Rob, picking up his very first pokemon at the breeding center and leave all this behind. He started to get nervous; this was the first time he was going to travel without his parents, fortunately he didn't have to go alone.
The sun started to hide behind the horizon, making the temperature drop. Brian got up from the chair, and headed inside the wooden house. The house was quite small, having a combined kitchen and living room. The house contained two small bedrooms, one belonged to his parents, John and Emma, and the other room belonged to Brian and his little brother Richard.
Richard was lying on his bed reading a comic when Brian entered the room. He picked up a bag from under his bed and started packing some clothes. Richard looked up from his comic, watching as Brian put several pair of gray socks and a dark blue t-shirt into his bag.
"So you're really leaving tomorrow?" Richard asked
"I sure doo, Richard" Brian answered as he picked up a pair of too short shorts. He wrinkled his nose and tossed it back into the dresser. "And I bet you'll do the same once you turn fifteen in a couple of years".
Richards eyes lit up excitedly "Yeah, and I'm gonna bee the best trainer in the whole word!!" he proudly claimed.
"Well… since I'm still gonna be training when you get your own pokemon, I think you got to settle as the second best trainer" Brian grinned before getting hit in the face with a stuffed pokemon, he fell backwards onto his own bed and was covered by a dozen more stuffed pokemon. "Okay, okay… I give up… You win… You will be the best pokemon trainer in the whole world…" he laughed "After me off course" Brian added before getting buried in yet another pile of stuffed pokemon.
Brian woke up early next morning. His alarm clock told him it was only a quarter past six in the morning. He rubbed some of the sleep out of his eyes and slowly stumbled to the bathroom. After a quick and refreshing shower he pulled on some black shorts that reached him just below his knees. He picked up a red t-shirt and put it on before brushing his teeth. Brians mother was already up making some nice sandwiches. "I've made some sandwiches you can eat on your way to the breeding center, here you got one with ham and cheese, and here's one with chicken, and one with shrimps, and this one…"
"Do I really need all thirteen sandwiches mom? You know I never manage to eat more than two, and then I still got eleven more to go." Brian explained. Emma looked down on the sandwiches an then back on to Brian. "Well, I guess… If you take three with you, then you still got one to spare… But you got to eat you know" she put three sandwiches in a brown paper bag and handed it over to Brian. "I'm sure three sandwiches are plenty, mom, and don't worry, they got cheep and healthy food at all the different pokemon centers all over Kanto." Brian put the sandwiches into his bag before giving his mother a hug. "Don't worry about me mother, I'll manage, besides Rob will be there too you know…"
Emma let out a sigh of relief as she loosened from Brians hug. "Before you leave, I must give you this." She handed a small box over to Brian. Inside the box Brian found five pokeballs and a small gray device. "It's a gift from me and your father" Emma started to explain. "You got five pokeballs so you can start catching pokemon once you get your starter. The gray device is a pokedex, it contains information about all of the pokemon in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. Still we could just afford the basic version, but you are able to upgrade it later with other features." Brian gave his mother yet another hug "Thank you so much, I shall put them into good use. Say thanks to dad next time he gets home from work, I know you have been saving for this a long time." Brian Picked up his bag and walked towards the door. "I better get going now mom. I'll call home once in a while too update you on how things are going. So I guess this is goodbye for now mom, take care of Richard".
"You know I will Brian... you know I will" Emma answered as a tear fell to the floor and the door shut behind Brian. "Please be careful" she quietly pleads inside herself.
