It was a foggy morning when I woke up and realized what was happening ignoring me only being in pajamas I ran downstairs to see my brother standing there. He has short stuffy brown hair a black cap on his head a black unbuttoned shirt with a white shirt under and jeans with neatly tied black boots. I ran to him dashing as fast as I could and hugged him and begged him to stay. Today was the day he will head off to his pokémon adventure across Kalos. He smiles warmly at me giving me that caring gentle smile he and mom have had for as long as I could remember. He rustled my hair gently and began walking towards the door out of my arms grasp as I starred he opened the door the morning sun was shining through he became a shadowy figure, a silhouette. He turns to me though his face was to dark to see anything but that same smile which shined beyond any kind of darkness. He said in his soft tone "Little brother, I'm sorry" I could see my parents behind me, my father had his arm wrapped around my mother as they had look of deep pride for my brother as he continued "I don't want to be your companion, I want to be a goal" he then walked away as the door began to shut and he was gone. He had given this one final excuse and left me behind, despite my begging for him to wait for me to become old enough to depart on my adventure.
My brother left the house two years ago; it seems like just yesterday though. He had collected all 8 gym badges within a little more than a year and trained for one more year taking on the Elite Four only recently though he gave up before taking on the Champion. Knowing my brother I have no clue why he would do something so stupid. I got up and changed out of my sleeping clothes putting on a black shirt and slid a dark blue hooded sweater over it. I put on some new black jeans with dark blue sneakers and grabbed a black knit hat and slid it over my messy brown hair. I ran into my bathroom to brush my teeth as I put my glasses over my emerald eyes adjusting them a bit and put my black and dark green backpack over my back adjusting it a bit to be comfortable. I smirked as I ran downstairs seeing my mom sitting on the couch and smiling at me as she sipped her morning coffee. She knew today was a very special day for me. I'm going to be heading out on my pokémon adventure now and she adjusted my clothes a bit as per usual and tugged on my sleeves "Make sure to head to the town café to meet up with Prof. Sycamore's assistant and Trent ok?" I nodded smiling at her as I headed out she gave me one last hug and I opened the door knowing full well my mom was seeing me as a silhouette just as we saw my brother as the morning sun shined through the door and I stepped outside closing the door behind me and took in a big breath of fresh air that smelled of baked goods and smiled as I headed out. Aquacorde Town wasn't a lively place but a gentle one. We had a nice café which was a meeting spot for kids all over town and in Vanville too. I was raised here with Trent ever since I was little.
I passed by the old bakery and bought myself some bread and as I munched on it I saw Trent sitting at the café starring off to space and ran towards him the bread being held in my mouth. He had hair black as the night sky hair tips were brown though and wore a jacket green as a forest with white stripes around the elbows, it was zipped up and he also wore torn up jeans. Though he didn't buy the jeans like that and I remember how hilarious it was when I was trying to teach him how to use roller skates. I saw he had black sneakers and hanging on the chair was his black bag. He looked over to me and grinned "Hey, you actually showed up." He said as he saw the bread he couldn't help but chuckle and pinch the bridge between his eyes "Why I am not surprised you showed up looking like a fool though." I grabbed the bread ripping out the bite and swallowed it down chuckling "Sorry there Trent, are you ready to head to Lumiose?!" as I finished my statement I shredded another bite from the bread as he raised a brow as if confused by my question "Lumiose? We have to get through Salatune and Salatune forest first though and we can't do that without partner pokémon. I nodded in agreement and looked around "Isn't Sycamore's assistant supposed to be somewhere around here by now?" "Lumiose is quite a bit away ya know" Trent said curtly. I narrow my eyes my eyes and saw a figure dashing and running towards us through the town holding what looked like a capsule.
Her hair was in a large ponytail that bounced around as she ran and was a dirty blonde with black tips. Her eyes were a deep sea blue but were a bit hard to tell with her bangs flying around blocking parts of her face. She had a red blouse that tied around her neck and black pants with white stripes around the knees her red sneakers seemed almost like a blur as she dashed so quickly. As her face came closer and closer towards me I took a step back and tripped as the bread fell out of my hand she came a sudden halt and I fell against the ground I could see the look on Trent's face as he was about to explode then once the bread fell and bounced off my head that was his cue and he burst into hysterical laughter. "Oh no! Oh no! I'm so so so so sorry, please forgive me I didn't mean to!" the girl began yelling as I got up dusting myself off with a chuckle I assure her I'm fine. She lets out a sigh of relief and smiles at us "My names Amy, I'm the professors assistant from Lumiose City." Me and Trent introduce ourselves shaking hands as she smiles "Alright, the deal was that you two each get to pick a pokémon and the one you two don't pick I will receive" Trent tilted his head "You will be receiving a pokemon too?" he asked questioningly. She smiled with a nod and pressed the button on the front of the capsule with her index finger as the glass rose the steam came out revealing three shiny red and white pokéball's neatly lined up waiting to be chosen I smiled and so did Trent "Now it is time to pick your partner for the rest of your journey" Amy said with much enthusiasm.
Trent and I had agreed before hand to avoid being bias while choosing our partner and pick the one that fate decides so I grab the one on the farthest left and he grabs the one in the middle and I can't help but stare at the ball in pure awe smiling warmly knowing that my new best friend and partner is inside of this tiny ball as Amy grabs the last ball she puts the capsule away smiling as Trent grins looking at me and holds the ball up making it face me "I want a battle right now Allen! I want to see what you are made of!" I looked at him kind of surprised but at the same time it comes with no real shock. Trent being the competitive guy he always has been readies by the steps and I stand across from him near the gate and we throw our pokéball's in as the light flashes from both our pokémon come in revealing a Chespin from mine and a Fennekin from his. I knew I had the type disadvantage but I wasn't going to back down and boost his ego any more than it already is. He grinned as Amy interrupted us "Before you start 2 things, you can nickname your pokemon with a name that you wish also take these" she quickly pulled out small red objects tossing them to Trent and I as we caught them we quickly realized it was a pokédex. I quickly shuffled through Chespins' data and smiled "Alright then I'll name you Wyane" Chespin looked at me with a cheerful smile jumping for joy at his new name "I don't think Fennekin needs a name, her name is strong enough for her already" Trent said with a smirk. I took the initiative and attacked first "Alright Wyane, use Tackle!" Chespin lets out a battle cry and charges forward and launches itself towards Fennekin as Trent responds "Ember, Go!" flames form within Fennekin's mouth as she releases multiple small flames hurling towards Wyane who gets knocked back by the flames. It occurs to me that I should be a bnit more careful about going in head first when Fennekin can use super effective attacks. "Wyane, let's use Rollout!" Chespin then leaps forward and curls into a ball spinning rapidly and acceletates towards Fennekin as Trent grins "Avoid it and use Ember!" Fennekin leaps up as Chespin rolls right under her and she releases a shower fo flames onto Chespin causing a minor explosion knocking Chespin back swirls around his eyes indicating he is knocked out. I feel my chest hut a bit seeing that my very first battle and I already lost as I look down I lift my pokeball as Chespin reenters the ball Amy congratulates Trent and goes over to me "It's okay to lose ya know, after all you DID have the type disadvantage" she smiled and held up a small star and placed it on the ball as the ball somehow absorbed it my eyes go wide "It's a max revive, Chespin should be fine now." I smiled and put the ball away in my bag and she nodded. "I will be heading back to Lumiose City, I'll be waiting there for the two of you and I'll introduce you to the professor then alright?" "Alright, we will see you then Amy!" I said with excitement. Right now wasn't a time to be down, it was a time to be excited and stoked for heading out on my new journey through Kalos.
