Chapter 1
Beginning the Journey
The Kalos region is a region with many different types of terrain. Towering mountains, wind-swept plains, and deep, dark caves only scratch the surface of this expansive region. This is where a massive journey spanning the whole of the Pokémon world is about to begin.
"Screech!" "Damn Fletchling!" I yell, failing my arms and further entangling them in my blankets. The evil bird keeps hounding me, pecking and screech at me while I try to free myself from the bed. When I finally emerge from the pile I take a swipe at the Fletchling with my pillow. The annoying bird flies out my window with one last screech.
Muttering to myself I walk to my dresser and put on my usual clothes consisting of black jeans, red t-shirt, black unzipped hoodie, and a pair of black hiking boots. I only have to shake my head for my short dark brown hair to fall into place though I do have to brush a few red feathers from my hair. When I'm dressed I make my way downstairs for breakfast.
In our kitchen I look over my moms shoulder to see what's cooking. In the pan are two sunny-side-up eggs just reaching perfection.
"Don't just hover there if you want toast go make it." I grab some bread and pop it into the toaster then grab a plate and start loading it up with sausage and bacon from a plate by the stove. I grab my toast and get my eggs and start to eat.
"So what do you have planned for today?" She asks
"Nothing much probably just hanging out with the gang." I tell her
"I'm glad you were able to make friends so quickly and after only a week in our new town." She says
As I finish eating there's a knock on the kitchen window. My friends Shauna and Serena are standing at the window and Shauna is waving. Shauna has darker skin and reddish brown hair. She has on her usual clothes a plain dark pink shirt and short denim shorts. Serena is light skinned with brown hair and is wearing a pink felt hat and a black top with a short red skirt.
"We are going on ahead to the usual place in Aquacorde. Trevor and Tierno say they have something very important for us. We will wait for you there." She tells me
"Alright, I'll be on my way in a few minutes. You guys go ahead." I tell them.
"Ok but hurry I want to know what they want." Serena says always impatient. I wave her away and put my plate in the sink. I let my Mom know I am heading out and step outside. It's a beautiful day in Vaniville. The sun is shining and a gentle breeze blows through my hair. My Mom's Rhyhorn is sleeping on the lawn always being a late riser. Just as I start out I here a screech and feel a sharp peck on my head. Covering my head I take off running swearing under my breath. When I make it to the road I look back and see that same Fletchling flapping around above our yard. It never leaves the yard and only attacks me. No one knows why it is after only me but I am definitely sick if it.
I only have to walk a little way down the street before I turn to the gate out of Vaniville. It opens as I approach and I step onto Route 1.
This is a very short route after only ten minutes of walking the entrance into Aquacorde Town is in sight. I pass under the arch and after going up a few steps I enter into an open air cafe. After looking around I see Shauna, her hand in the air, waving me over. As I walk over Serena points at me and smiles. The others look and start laughing. As I reach then Shauna stands up and plucks a red feather from my hair still smiling. "Damn Fletching" I tell them.
"There is no logical reason for that Fletching to have such a large distaste for you. I simply does not make sense." Trevor says with a puzzled look on his face. Trevor is the shortest of us by far. His orange hair cut into a perfect circle. He is wearing a long sleeved white shirt with a collar and has a grey sweater vest with a Pokeball on it and pale green shorts. He has a strange device hanging on a cord around his neck.
"It must be clashing with your natural rhythm." Tierno offers. He is the biggest in our group. He has no hair but wears a beret with three tufts sticking out the top. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a Vanillite on it and yellow cargo shorts.
"All right enough about his bird problems. Why are we here?" Serena looks at Trevor and Tierno.
"Well we have a surprise for you. An old friend of my parents is a famous professor in Lumiose City and he has asked us to travel around Kalos and complete a Pokedex of this region. Tierno and myself have already accepted and have a Pokémon each and we have starter Pokémon and a Pokedex for you three" Trevor informs us. "If you choose to go on this journey you will pick one of these three Pokémon and start today." He opens a briefcase and we see three Pokeballs sitting in it.
"I think Mike should choose first. He's the newest member in our group and has not met any Pokémon from this region yet." Shauna says.
"Alright hurry up about it then." Serena says impatiently. I look over the info on cards in the briefcase on the three Pokémon and pick the one that's my favorite type. I pick the fire fox Fennekin and let the others choose. Serena chooses the water frog Froakie and Shauna picks the grass chipmunk Chespin.
"Here's your Pokedex. They are very easy to use just point the sensor at a Pokémon and press the button on the front and it will display all known information on that Pokémon. You can call up any Pokémon you have seen using the touch screen anytime." Trevor says as he hands us each a red and black Pokedex. I notice a letter with mine addressed to my mom from a Professor Sycamore. Assuming this is the Professor that sent us on this journey I pocket it to give to her. I point the sensor at the Pokeball holding Fennekin and the screen lights up displaying info on her. "Eating a twig fills it with energy, and its roomy ears give vent to air hotter than 390 degrees."
We all agree to meet up at the entrance to Santalune Forest just north of town in a few hours. As I head for home I hear footsteps running up behind me. I look over my shoulder to see Shauna running after me waving. As she catches her breath I ask her what going on.
"Do you want to have out first battle together? We can see each others Pokémon." She asks.
"Yeah let's go." I agree "Come on out Fennekin." I call releasing the little fox from her Pokeball. She stretches out and turns to look at me. I nod to her and she nods back then turns to face her opponent. Shauna calls out her Chespin who immediately jumps into her arms into a hug. I scan the Pokémon to get his info, "The quills on its head are usually soft. When it flexes them, the points become so hard and sharp that they can pierce rock."
"It looks like this is going to be easy, girl." I whisper to Fennekin who smiles in return.
"Ok, let's start this battle Shauna" I call. She nods as Chespin jumps down and faces Fennekin looking very serious. "Start with Leer Fennekin!" I say. She gives Chespin a dirty look that lowers his defenses slightly.
"Chespin use Vine Whip." Shauna calls. Chespin throw his arm back and a vine shoots out from his wrist. He flicks to at Fennekin, whipping her on the side. As Chespin starts for another attack I call for Fennekin to dodge and then use Scratch. She jumps to the left just in time as the whip cracks harmlessly in the air. She immediately rushes Chespin and Scratches him with sharp claws sending him spinning back towards Shauna. Chespin gets to his feet rather slowly but still determined to fight.
"Why was that such a hard hit?" Shauna asks looking at Chespin breathing hard.
"When Fennekin used Leer it made him weaker to physical attacks" I answer her.
Shauna looks at her Pokedex quickly. "Ok let's even the playing field a little. Chespin use Growl!" She calls out.
"Fennekin, Ember!" I counter. Chespin Growls at Fennekin, making her physical attacks weaker, just as she spins around and whips her tail at Chespin sending little balls of fire at him. She flinches slightly from the Growl as Chespin tries to hold on from the super effective attack. He loses that battle and fall to the ground unconscious.
Shauna lets out a cry and runs to Chespin. I pick up Fennekin and congratulate her on our first win. She yips happily and snuggles into my arms. I walk over to Shauna and see her holding Chespin who is just waking up. I hold out my hand to help her up.
"That was a good battle you two. Maybe next time." I assure her.
"It's ok Chespin gave it his best and that's good." She smiles down at Chespin in her arms.
"There's a family who runs a healing center in town. I'm sure they will fix Chespin up as good as new for you." I tell her
"That's a good idea. Let's go Chespin. Bye Mike." She says and starts walking into to town.
"See you in a little while." I call after her. Looking down at Fennekin I say "Well girl lets go introduce you to my mom." With that I start for home.

Author's Notes: Starting a new Fic. Pokémon this time. I'm writing this as I play Pokémon Y but the story is based on the game but it will have some major changes. I plan to have this story cover all the regions so far, each region being a different book, going backward from Kalos to Kanto. So it will end up being a very large story. Unfortunately I don't have the internet at my house so updates won't be as frequent as I would like but you can count on long chapters (this one is about average.) All credit for Pokedex info, attack info, and ability info goes to (The best Pokémon info site I have found.) Thanks for reading and review, please!
