Chapter 1: A New Trainer

Monologue:

Hi! My name is Michael Yamato and I'm 12 years old. I live in Celadon City, in the Kanto Region. I've always wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer but the Pokémon League increased the age limit to 12 for any new trainers. I'm finally going to be seeing Erika today for my first Pokémon! They have made an exception for me at the gym because of my extensive knowledge about plants and Pokémon. Wish me luck!

I set my alarm clock for 7 a.m. because it's always best to be punctual but I just can't sleep. I'm just staring at my alarm clock and browse the Internet on my Pokégear. My parents bought me all new gear for my journey tomorrow so I decide to go check my inventory once more.

All right, so I have 1 backpack, 1 Acro Bike from Rydel's Cycle Shop, 10 Potions, 10 Pokéballs, 10 Antidotes, 10 Paralyze Heals, 10 Burn Heals, 10 Freeze Heals, 10 Awakenings, some snacks, a spare change of clothes and my Trainer ID. My picture looks a little funny but there's nothing I can do about it now.

My hair is almost jet black and I am approximately 1.5 metres tall. I am somewhat a skinny Asian boy but my eyes are actually large even within my family. I have an older sister named Victoria who's 5 years older than me and she's been on her journey for about 4 years now. I won't let her outdo me.

I close my eyes as tight as I can but I still can't sleep so I decide to go out onto my balcony for some fresh air. My family's Growlithe hears me and comes out to join me.

I look up at the stars and ask him "It's a beautiful night tonight and everything is so quiet ever since we moved to the houses in the forest"

"Ruff ruff" Growlithe answered happily and laid his head down on my lap.

I just let it sink in that I was going to be a new trainer tomorrow but something flashed across the sky that caught my attention. I thought it was a group of Beedril buzzing overhead but it was actually a helicopter. That's strange, a helicopter, with an R on the side? Could that… No, impossible, Team Rocket has been disbanded for ages.

I wipe it from my mind and decide to bring Growlithe back in and sleep, seems my anxiety has left me. Well, we'll see what's in store for tomorrow.

Sorry for that really boring monologue but I wanted to give you a bit of background information on this new character before I actually start. The next chapter will be better, I promise!
