This chapter is my first chapter I have created on this site. Of course this does not follow the anime or games. Barry's father is alive in the anime, but not in this story as I did say in the summary there would be changes. This chapter is more emotional. So just sit back and enjoy Pokemon Sinnoh.
It was a bright and sunny day in a small place known as Twinleaf Town. The summer morning smoothly went by as a small flock of starly flew by. As the flock flew over one specific house, a boy opened up a window to see the beautiful day. The boys name was Barry. He had blonde hair and orange eyes. He had a green scarf, and a orange striped shirt. His body was in regular shape. He wasn't muscular but he was fit enough to run a long distance. He stared out at his hometown with a smile on his face.
"Today is the day…." He said to himself, "I'm ten years old and finally able to get a pokemon and start an adventure!"
His mother called to him from downstairs for breakfast. He turned away from the window and ran downstairs. In the kitchen, the table had his favorite breakfast meals. There were scrambled eggs, sausage, toast with jam, biscuits with gravy, and orange juice. It all looked so good to him his mouth was practically drooling. He sat down and ate one bite at a time. His mom sat down by him with her cup of coffee in her hand. She had brown curly hair that went down by her neck, light brown eyes, and a very slender body. She took a small sip and looked to her son. "You know why I made all your favorite food for you today, right?" Barry looked to his mother with a smile.
"Of course I do mom. it's the day I get my pokemon and go out on an adventure to become a pokemon master." he said proudly,
His mom laughed a bit. She knew how much her son had loved pokemon since he had seen one. "Have you thought about who you will pick as your starter pokemon?"
Starter pokemon are the very first pokemon you get for your journey. You chose from three that represent a pokemon type. The three types you choose from are grass, water, and fire. Each region had different starter pokemon. The ones for the region Barry is in, Sinnoh, is Turtwig the grass type, Chimchar the fire type, and piplup the water type. Barry knew which one he wanted for a very long time.
"I'm going to chose Chimchar!" Berry shouted in excitement,
"I thought you said you were going to go with Turtwig so you could ride on a Torterra's back to places." His mom said in surprise,
Barry laughed and told his mother, " I was gonna, but then I decided it's wrong to use my pokemon as a tool and also I want chimchar because dad…." He then stayed quiet in thought.
His mother's smile washed away from her face. His father had passed away in a war against another region about two years ago. Barry then shook himself out of his trance and told his mother, "Dad always said he liked Chimchar the most out of them."
"Well I'm glad you made your decision and I'm sure your father would be very proud of the young man you've become." She stood out of her chair and started to clean off the table. Her and Berry did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before Barry had to go off on his adventure.
It was now the afternoon, and also time for Barry to leave his home. Right as he passed by his mom on the front porch she stopped him. She looked very sad but very happy at the same time. He sensed that it was because he was going to be away for so long. His mother looked into his orange eyes and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Now Barry, I need you to be strong. But most of all I need you to be safe. I lost your father, and I don't want to lose you too, because you mean the world to me." She said with tears in her eyes.
Barry was startled by the tears. He knew that she would be upset but he never thought she would come to tears. But he is the only person that she lives with and dads loss took a big toll on her. So he gave a small smile. "I will mom, don't you worry about me."
She gave a small nod as a signal of saying could go. Barry once again gave a confident smile and began to walk away from the comfort of his home. As he walked step by step a million thoughts raced through his mind. "Will I succeed? How will I eat? What if my pokemon get seriously hurt?" These were just a few a the things that went through his mind as he walked more away from his mother and more toward Sandgem Town, where he would get his first pokemon. All of his racing thoughts stopped when he turned around and saw his mother and remembered that he forgot one thing. He ran as fast as he could back home and ran at his mother with a hug squeezing her tighter than ever before.
"I'm gonna miss you mom." Barry said softly,
His mother smiled and hugged him back, "I'm gonna miss you too sweetie…" The hug lasted for about ten seconds before Barry broke out of the hug running as fast as he could. His mother shouted out to him "Take Care Barry! Don't forget to have fun!"
Barry ran as fast as he could. He didn't have much time before it would be too late to get one or else he would have to wait until they get more pokemon which could take awhile.
Barry was now at the exit of his town. He looked down the two directions upon his path. To his left, Lake Verity, there is said to be a legendary pokemon there. Though Barry has been there many times, he never did see one so he eventually gave up on finding it. To his right, Route 201, this was the way to his destination and it was a very calm and short route too. The only pokemon who he has seen on it were Starly, Bidoof, and a Kricketot or two. So he started down the route toward Sandgem town. As he began walking he already noticed the Starly flying by and a group of Bidoof drinking at a pond. Barry began to daydream to himself about the amazing world where these creatures thrive and it only made him more excited about getting his Chimchar.
Before he could even wake up from his daydream he was already at the entrance of Sandgem Town. This place was even more joyous that Twinleaf Town. It also seemed busier with all of the shops and people wandering around getting to their jobs or going back home to their family. As Barry walked around the streets found a place that gave out newspaper. They also gave out maps of the town for free. He took one and walked out. He saw the time on lock tower and panicked as it was about twenty minutes before the lab closes. Barry looked at the town map and ran. As he ran he looked at every building hoping it would be the lab. He finally found a building with a pokeball logo on it that had the words "Professor Rowan's Pokemon Laboratory".
Barry was at the front door of the lab. He still had about fifteen minutes left so he stood there preparing himself by imagining the amazing life he will have when he steps back outside of this door. Barry took a deep breath in and out. Then he opened the doors and went inside get his very first pokemon. He knew this was going to be the start of something new.
