"57…58…59…60! All right, that's enough. I can't wait for tomorrow! I finally go on my journey, and I want to be in the best shape possible!" a boy said, after doing some push ups.
He was Brad Wallace, and he was starting his journey tomorrow. He had gone to Pokemon Tech for 2 years, but had gotten kicked out because of a fight with an upperclassman, so he had spent the last month at home, studying about pokemon. All he had was a pokeball, and a pokedex, which he'd gotten both from Professor Elm. So, in his anticipation, he'd been exercising quite a bit, to be in tip top condition.
Brad just got to his front door to go back to Professor Elm to get a Pokemon, when he saw a man dressed in a green jump suit run with a girl in hot pursuit.
"Let that pokemon alone!" the teenage girl called out.
"It's a Scyther! It's mine!" the green-man yelled back
Brad ran, putting his black jacket, ran out the door.
"Hey, creep! Give back that pokemon!" the girl voice said.
Brad, wanting to see who he was chasing after better, caught up to the girl.
She was about his age, and must have been chasing the guy for a while, because she was panting, and glistening with sweat. She had red hair, a hat with swords on it, with blue jeans and a dark blue sleeveless T-shirt. Apparently, she had been so concentrated on catching the green guy that she didn't notice him. "Don't just stand there and stare kid, get him! He's a Team Rocket member!" she said to him, panting.
Brad nodded. While he was winded from the run, he still had a lot left in him.

It was getting dark. As a member of Team Rocket, he was to steal Pokemon for his boss, Giovanni. The Rocket member had found the Scyther, and knowing it was rare, grabbed it.
"Hey you! Stop! There's a cliff ahead!" Brad cried out.
Rocket looked back to see Brad running after him, and of course, wasn't paying attention to where he was running. The green suited man noticed there wasn't ground for him to run on.
Brad was too late to save the Rocket. The Scyther, who had broke free of the grip, had pushed his blades in the rock to keep him from falling.
"Give me one of your blades!" Brad yelled, reaching for the Scyther. It looked a little weak. Scratch that. It looked like it was barely hanging on to the rock. Brad doubted it could make it up.
'Oh that's it!'
Brad reached into his jacket to get out his pokeball.
"Here goes nothing! Pokeball, go!" He said, throwing the red and white ball at the Blade pokemon. It hit the Scyther on the head and bounced back to Brad's hand, with the Scyther becoming enveloped in a bright white light. The light compacted it self and went into the open pokeball. The Scyther was too tired to even fight back, and the ball settled instantly.
"Sweet. I caught my first Pokemon."

Yes, yes, I know I promised not to touch another pokemon story, but it irked me. I figured this is why my Naruto career didn't work. I wanted foreclosure from my first fic. So I'm rewriting the hell out of it, because I'm a lot better writer than I was. Just so you know, I'm doing this for the fans of this story. Even though they are all gonna kill me for doing this.
What I changed: I added some dialogue and edited some crappy spelling. I also changed a couple of scenes, like catching Scyther. I am almost embarrassed at how bad my story was. I wonder how I got as half as many reviews.
