Myst leaped out of his bed. "Today is the day!" He said enthusiastically.
"Myst, you're going to be late if you don't hurry!" His mom yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah, I know!" Myst said as he sprinted down the stairs and into the living room. He made sure to pack some extra clothes and his backpack.
He ran outside and slammed the door. As he ran past the window of his house, his mom shot him a dirty look. "You know we don't slam the door!" She yelled through the window, her voice muffled by the glass.
He ran towards the Pokemon Lab as fast as he could, but as he neared the sliding doors, he slammed into Blaze, his best friend. "Ow!" They both yelled.
Myst fell face forwards into the soft grass. He got up, spitting dirt out of his mouth and brushing his shorts off.
"Hey, are you ok?" Blaze asked, a smirk planted into his face.
"Yeah, how about you?" Myst replied.
The two friends shuffled into the Lab, gazing at the machines and papers cluttered within. The professor stood towards the back of the room, holding several pieces of paper that looked important.
Darkest, Echo, and Sparky walked in behind them, each looking at the complex machinery.
"Hey, Myst. Hey, Blaze," Sparky said, catching up to the two. "Are you ready to get your Pokemon?"
"You bet!" Blaze answered, sharing a high-five with Sparky.
The professor cleared his throat. "Hello there, neighbors!"
"Hi, Professor Cedar," Myst said politely, but his mind was swirling with excitement.
"So, based on your polls, you have each selected a type you wish to start with. All of you know, because of the region starters are endangered, that we have different Pokemon as starters, right?"
"They are?" The group replied surprisingly.
"Yes. So, Myst, you have chosen Ghost? I would recommend Gastly, Duskull, Litwick, Golett, or Honedge."
"Hmm," Myst hesitated, all of the Pokemon sounded appealing. "I think I'll go with Gastly," he decided, the professor handing him a Pokeball with the Gas Pokemon inside.
"Blaze, you chose fire, so Growlithe, Vulpix, Darumaka, Litwick, Larvesta, or Fletchling would all be good starters." Professor Cedar stated.
"I pick Growlithe!" Blaze said almost instantly, his favorite Pokemon being Arcanine. (By the way, even though Blaze picked Growlithe, Myst is the main protagonist.)
"Echo, for ice types, Swinub, Snorunt, Snover, Sneasel, Cubchoo, and Bergmite would work," Cedar recommended.
"I think I'll go with Sneasel," Echo said quietly, picking up the Pokeball.
"Darkest, these Dark types would fit: Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndour, Sandile, Scraggy, Zorua, and Pawniard,"
"Ok, how about Scraggy," Darkest replied.
"Ok, for Electric types, Sparky. Magnemite, Pichu, Mareep, Elekid, Shinx, Tynamo, and Helioptile."
"I'll pick Shinx!" Sparky said and grabbed his starter.
The five friends/rivals hurried out of the lab, eager to train their Pokemon.
"I'll race you to Route 1!" Sparky yelled and dashed off, his friends trailing behind.
So, I finally got the first chapter out! I know it's short, but since this is my first story, I haven't gotten used to writing long chapters. Thanks for reading, and try to review, follow, and favorite!
