Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at a Pokemon Fanfic in a long time so please bear with me. The land he's in is new, and so are the gyms. But I haven't created any new pokemon or anything like that.
The Standard Legal Junk – We all know I don't own Pokemon only the original characters in this story are mine.
EPISODE #1
The sun rises over the Pokemon Center as the sound of pidgeys fill the air. Seth sleeps soundly in his bed, his spikey brown hair lying over his eyes. His Evee is sleeping contently on his stomach. The alarm clock on his counter lets out a loud blaring ring and both Seth and Evee jump up in shock falling out of the bed.
SETH: (groaning) Why did Mom have to buy me such a loud alarm clock.
EVEE: (nodding) Evee.
Seth slowly walks down the stair toward the kitchen in the back of the Pokemon Center. The center is crowded as always, people who are visiting the Nurses as well as passing travelers are simply walking around and eating breakfast in the café. His mother, the Nurse Joy of the Center, is behind her counter as always. She smiles at him as he comes downstairs, Evee following him closely.
NURSE JOY: Good morning Seth, are you ready for your big day?
SETH: I'm all ready Mom. You're ready too Evee?
Evee nods happily and whistles.
NURSE JOY: (happily) Well then you better get going. Professor Tanuki is waiting for you.
EPISODE 1: THE TEST FOR THE POKEDEX
Seth and Evee walk through the streets toward a large building in the distance. As they pass a small grocery shop the old woman behind the counter calls out to him.
OWNER: Hello Seth, are you going to get you Pokemon Liscense today?
SETH: Yep. I'm on my way to take the test right now.
VOICE: Yeah good luck with that Seth?
Seth turns around just in time to see a bicycle slam into him. Evee barks madly, Seth looks up to see a small girl on a bicycle smiling evily at him. She has a pokeball in her right hand, spinning it on her finger.
SETH: Maria! Watch where your going!
MARIA: (innocently) Who me? I simply wanted to test you myself? (chuckles) If you couldn't see me coming then you and that pathetic little pup aren't ready to become trainers yet. Well, I've already completed my test so I'm out of here. You wanna get any good you better practice cause I won't show mercy to weaklings like you on my journey.
Maria rides away toward the forest in the distance on her bike. Seth and Evee both glare at her.
SETH: I'll show you Maria. Come on Evee let's go.
They reach the large building. A large pokeball is painted on the doors of the building. The writing reads: PRO. TANUKI'S POKEMON RESEARCH LAB. Seth opens the door wide and walks straight toward the large room in the back labeled: TRAINING GYM.
The Training Gym has a large battle arena in the center surrounded by dozens of different children, all of them either practicing with a pet pokemon or reading textbooks. Dr. Tanuki is talking to his assistant, a notepad in his hand. Seth sits down and Evee leaps onto his shoulder. Dr. Tanuki stands in the center of the arena and speaks into a microphone.
DR. TANUKI: Good morning everyone, and welcome to your final day of training. Today you are all going to take a written test and then your are going to compete in a simple pokemon battle. Judging from how you do in the test and in battle you will either pass or fail the test. Those of you who fail can come back and try again next week, those of you who pass can get this and start on your journey.
Dr. Tanuki reaches into his pocket and holds up a small, red, square that looks like a palm pilot, the letters PM are written on the front of it.
SETH: There it is. A pokedex. Its as good as mine.
The written exam was incredibly easy for Seth. It had a ot of basic question like: Which will have the advantage in battle, DARK or PSYCHIC? What is the evolved form of Marill? List all the possible evolutions of an Evee.
When the test was over Seth and Evee were led back to the arena where Dr. Tanuki was waiting for them. Another boy was waiting to and he had a pikachu on his shoulder.
DR. TANUKI: Seth, (to the boy) Rex. You two are the first ones to complete the test and you each have perfect scores. The next test will be to see how you use your pokemon in battle. You have each chosen to have you pet pokemon as your first pokemon. There will be no time limit and as you can already guess this is a one-on-one Pokemon Battle.
Seth and Rex each walk to opposite ends of the arena while Evee and the Pikachu both walk into the center of it and prepare to battle. Dr. Tanuki pulls a bell out of his pocket and bangs it with a small mallet.
DR. TANUKI: BEGIN!
REX: Pikachu! Knock that Evee out! Thundershock!
PIKACHU! Pikachu!
Sparks of lightning shoot out from Pikahcu's cheeks and strike Evee hard, he is thrown back and can't move for a minute.
SETH: Evee! Try and stand up pal, the match has just started!
Evee shakes off the effects of the Thundershock.
REX: Again Pikachu!
PIKACHU: Pika!
More bolts of lightning shoot at Evee but this time Evee manges to dodge them.
SETH: Tackle it Evee!
Evee charges straight at Pikachu.
REX: Bad move pal. Thundershock!
Pikachu shoots another Thundershock attack and Evee runs straight into it. He is thrown back and now can barely move.
SETH: Evee!
REX: Ha! What kind of trainer would make a normal pokemon charge an electric like that?
SETH: Evee can you still go on?
EVEE: (nods) E…evee.
SETH: (to himself) All right then. We'll try a different strategy. (out loud) Go Evee!
Evee charges at Pikachu again.
REX: You just never learn do you. THUNDERSHOCK!
Pikachu fires again.
SETH: Dive right Evee!
Evee dives right and manages to dodge to attack.
SETH: SAND ATTACK!
Evee kicks up dirt into Pikachu's eyes. Pikachu staggers and rubs his eyes in an attempt to clear them. Pikahcu tries to throw a thundershock but misses by several feet.
SETH: All right! Now Evee, tackle it as much as you can!
Evee charges at Pikachu from the side and sends Pikachu flying. Pikachu fires and misses again, this time Evee comes at him from the back and knocks him down. Pikachu turns to shoot at the spot where he's sure Evee hit him from but Evee has already come around and hit him from the side again. Rex is looking horrified trying to give Pikachu directions but Evee is moving to fast for Pikachu to react.
SETH: NOW EVEE! Finihs it off with one more tackle!
Evee runs to the very end of the arena and charges. Pikahcu fires in his direction but still misses. Evee rams straight into the pikachu and pikachu falls down, his eyes spirals.
DR. TANUKI: Pikachu is unable to battle. The winner is Seth.
REX: (picks up Pikachu) Its all right pal. You did good. (to Seth) That was impressive, guess I laughed at you a little too soon huh?
Dr. Tanuki hands Keith his pokedex. Then he hands him a belt with six pokeballs on it.
DR. TANUKI: There are a lot of dangerous pokemon and people out there so make sure you train hard okay?
SETH: Yes sir.
Seth packs up everything he'll need into his backpack that night. His mother cries silently as he eats his last dinner at the house. The next morning, before his alarm clock can go off, Seth and Evee leave to Pokemon Center. His mother hugs him a least six times before he's able to even get out of the front door.
NURSE JOY: Call me when you get to the next town okay?
SETH: I will mom, I promise bye!
As Seth and Evee disappear over the horizon Seth takes one last look at his town. Then, full of the hope and energy that every pokemon trainer feels when the start out, he runs toward the forest, Evee following him closely.
