Bonnie had just arrived in Littleroot Town in the Hoenn region. She exited the bak of the truck and walked into the house she and her Pokemon friend, Dedenne, would be staying at whilst they were here. A lady was already inside and had a meal decked out on the table for them. Bonnie rushed up and sat down and started digging in, as Dedenne crawled out of her pouch and onto the table, eating the Pokemon food.
"Thanks so much for letting us stay here while I'm on my Hoenn journey, Julia" Bonnie thanked the nice lady for her hospitality.
"Dedede!" Dedenne chimed in.
"Well, it's the least I could do for my favourite cousins" Julia replied, "Soon as I heard you were old enough to become a Trainer and wanted to start your journey in Hoenn, I was thrilled! I just have one question"
"Yeah, what's that?" Bonnie asked, scooting her chair around.
"Why did you want to start your journey here instead of Kalos?" Julia asked, "Nearly every Trainer I know starts in their home region"
"Yeah, well, I'm not every Trainer!" Bonnie retaliated, "Besides, I've basically seen all of Kalos back when I travelled with my brother and his friends. It'd be boring doing it all over again"
"Fair point," Julia said, then realising something, "Oh! Speaking of your brother, he wanted you to call him as soon as you got here!"
With that, Dedenne climbed back into Bonnie's pouchas she got up and walked with Julia over to the video phone. Julia dialled the number and Bonnie's brother, Clement's face showed up.
"Hi, Clement! I've arrived in Hoenn and am at Julia's place!" Bonnie squealed.
"That's great to hear you made it safely!" Clement said with a smile.
"How are things running back at the Gym since I left?" Bonnie asked him.
"Great, now that I've fixed everything up. And don't worry, Dad's taken your place as Quiz Bearer while you're away" Clement replied.
"Oh, that's so nice of Daddy!" Bonnie said.
"By the way, how's Dedenne doing?" Clement asked, "Being in a new region can be daunting for a Pokemon"
"Don't worry, big brother!" Bonnie said, "Dedenne will be fine. As long as we've got each other! Right, Dedenne?"
"Dede!" Dedenne shouted, poking it's tiny head out of Bonnie's pouch.
"I still don't know why I couldn't bring Quilladin along aswell, though!" Bonnie huffed.
"I told you before you left, having a highly levelled Pokemon from another region on you is no way to start a journey!" Clement scolded his younger sister, "I let you take Dedenne because you two share an unbreakable bond and you shoudn't be separated"
"Like Ash and Pikachu!" Bonnie interrupted him.
"Exactly!" Clement said, "Now, don't forget, you need to pick up your starter Pokemon from Professor Birch before you leave Littleroot Town. Professor Sycamore's already told him you'd be coming, so-"
"He has?!" Bonnie sqealed, "Let's go, Dedenne!"
"Dedede!" Dedenne shouted as Bonnie rushed out the door.
She was running towards the Lab, but wasn't looking where she was going. She bumped into a boy who was about her age and fell to the ground. When she got up and opened her eyes, she saw he had an orange top, black shorts and what looked like a white hat on.
"Do you mind?!" He said.
"Oh, sorry," Bonnie apologised, "I've just started my journey and I'm super excited to meet my first Hoenn Pokemon so I was rushing to Professor-"
"Yeah, whatever," the boy said, "Just pay attention next time"
And with that, the boy rushed off. Bonnie looked in the direction he had ran.
"Wow, what a sour puss" She stated and continued towards the Lab.
She entered the Lab once she arrived and found Professor Birch right at the end.
"Professor Birch!" She called as she rushed up to him.
"Why, hello there, young lady!" Professor Birch said as he noticed her.
"Hi! I'm Bonnie from the Kalos region, Professor Sycamore-" She started rambling.
"Ah, yes, the Lumiose Gym Leader's sister, correct?" Birch asked her.
"Uh-uh!" Bonnie said, "I'm here for my starter Pokemon!"
"Right," Birch said, "You may choose from three Pokemon"
"Wait!" Bonnie said, "I don't want this to just be a solo decision! Come on, Dedenne, you choose too!"
She opened up her pouch and Dedenne jumped out. Professor Birch gave a shocked expression.
"Oh? You brought a Pokemon with you?" He asked.
"Yeah, Clement said I could!" Bonnie told the Professor, "Dedenne and I share an unbreakable bond that shouldn't be broken"
"Ah, I once knew a young trainer all the way from the Kanto region like that," Birch stated,"Anyway! Time for you to choose!"
Birch picked up three Pokeballs, and opened them. All of a sudden, three Pokemon came out. There was a green-lizard type, a yellow-y orange chicken type, and some sort of blue water fish.
"Ooh! The chicken one looks so cute!" Bonnie screamed.
"Perhaps I should give you this now" Birch stated as he handed Bonnie a dark pink Pokedex.
"Oh wow, my very own Pokedex!" Bonnie said, "That's so cool!"
"Dedede!" Dedenne chimed in with her, still eyeing the other three Pokemon.
"And my first entries!" Bonnie sqealed.
She pointed her brand new Pokedex at the green one and a female's voice began talking.
"Treecko. The Wood Gecko Pokémon. Treecko are able to climb smooth vertical walls and use their thick tail to attack opponents"
Dedenne ran up to the Treecko, and waved it's tiny arm at it. Treecko looked down at Dedenne in disapproval and turned it's back, flicking Dedenne in the nose with it's tail. Bonnie then scanned the next one.
"Torchic. The Chick Pokemon. If attacked, it strikes back by spitting balls of fire it forms in its stomach"
Dedenne moved onto the Torchic and repeated it's action of waving at it. But the Torchic seemed out of it, not even realising that Dedenne was even in front of it.
"Dede" Dedenne said as it tapped the Torchic on the shoulder.
This caused the Torchic to get angry and turn towards Dedenne, spitting a flame ball at it.
"Dedede!" Dedenne screamed, quickly dodging it by running to the other Pokemon.
What it didn't realise is that it was running too fast, it bumped into the blue Pokemon.
"Kip kip!" The blue one shouted and it ran to Dedenne, rubbing it's cheeks against Dedenne's.
Dedenne then shocked the poor Pokemon.
"Dedenne!" Bonnie shouted as she ran up to the two, and Dedenne crawled back into her pouch, apologising.
"I'm so sorry" She apologised as she scanned the Pokemon.
"Mudkip. The Mud Fish Pokémon. Mudkip uses the sensitive fin on its head to take radar readings of its surroundings"
"Mudkip really seems to like your Dedenne" Professor Birch stated.
"It does, doesn't it?" Bonnie said, smiling down at the Mudkip.
"Mudkip!" Mudkip said, looking up at Bonnie, returning the smile.
"I'll take it!" Bonnie said gleefully, jumping up and down.
Birch simply nodded, returning the three starter Pokemon to their Pokeballs and handing Bonnie Mudkip's.
"Yay! I've got a Mudkip!" Bonnie shouted, holding up the Pokeball.
"Dedede!" Dedenne chimed in.
"Do you have a goal as a Pokemon Trainer yet, Bonnie?" Professor Birch asked.
"I so do!" Bonnie said, spinning around, facing the Professor, "I want to be a Pokemon Performer!"
"Is that so?" Birch said, "Well then, I highly recommend visiting the various Contest Halls you'll find around Hoenn"
"Contest Halls? Really? Why is that?" Bonnie asked.
"You'll find out when you get to one," Birch said slyly, "For now, just set your sights on Petalburg City, the next biggest town"
"Alright! Petalburg City, here we come!" Bonnie shouted as she left the Lab.
"Dedede!" Dedenne chimed in.
