It was a clear day today, Isaac though to himself as his faithful pokemon of three years, Eevee, was napping on his lap as he sat out watching the sun set over the treetops and into the ocean.
Isaac lives a life many have dreamed of. No cares, no worries, and lots of money. His mom and dad were both rich pokemon traders and gave him almost everything he could ever want. Everything, of course, except for the one thing he truly needed, their love and attention.
Three years ago, Isaac was around ten then, he asked for an eevee for his birthday so that he finally would have a true friend that didn't always want money. Everyone around town only tried to be friends with him because they knew his family was rich. Reliably enough, his parents bought it before leaving on a trip for a month to Pallet Town to discuss pokemon trade between their forest island of Coral Rock and the mainland Kanto.
He didn't care, and he cried himself to sleep in the lonely mansion that very night still unable to figure out what could be more important then his tenth birthday, and with his first pokemon, the soon to begin pokemon journey he'd been waiting so long to go on. But Eevee understood what he was going through, Eevee saw how he was treated and decided to be the one true friend he had and not let him down no matter what it took on his part. And from that night on it had been pretty good for the pair. In occasional fight between his schoolmates, Eevee usually winning hands down with a technique Isaac created called the Fission Takedown.
Neither ever tried to catch any pokemon, though he secretively bought a few pokeballs. Isaac saw no need to keep them cooped up. He enjoyed just watching them in the lake or flying over the mountain. He loved his town with all its flaws for what it was and nothing he though would tear him from it. That is until one day, his parents gave him the worst news that a child can hear.
"We're doing what!" He screamed, trying to make the words of his parents untrue.
"Son," Mrs. Senko, Isaac's mother, said "I know it's hard but moveing's an adventure! Pallet is a great town and we have important business there to take care of that needs us there for a good long time."
"So what!" Isaac yelled, unable to control his emotions, "I have a life here! I have school! I have the island open tournament in a week!"
"I'm sorry son!" Mr. Senko yelled at a tone to calm his son, "but you have no say in this. Our jobs are more important then some petty tournament this tiny island is holding. And besides, you've beaten all the trainers here haven't you?"
He could only grumble in response, "Yes." But then equally as fast, "But Amber's metapod is about to evolve into Butterfree soon and so is Ray's Charmander!"
"So?" His dad grumbled back, "What's the big deal? Your eevee's not evolved yet, and you've had it for three years. You'd think that you'd only care about eevee and what he'd evolve into."
He was stunned, Isaac had no clue his dad was so heartless. He didn't care if eevee evolved or not. He was his friend and his only concern was if his friend was in good health and happy as was Eevee's.
"Why are you doing this? More money? Or just to ruin my life? Or is it that you drive pleasure from the way you..."
"Be quiet!" His mother yelled, "You will not speak to us in that tone after all we've given you. We are doing THIS for you, you need people around and there aren't many here. Plus there's a great gym leader there that's agreed to take you on as an apprentice."
That was the last straw, they had no idea what he wanted to do or what he wanted to be. He wanted to battle gym leaders, not become one. For his own good, he stayed here and trained while they left around the world for business. Though the remark about people was close enough, the only real friend he had was a wondering trainer that came though when he was eleven and helped him develop the fission takedown. He was a great trainer. But that was long ago, and he wasn't anything but a memory of a friend. He had left the day before his birthday that year, which left both him and eevee depressed, so much so they just slept through the huge party.
"You cant make me go." He said coldly. "I swear we will not leave." Eevee was feeling the same rage that Isaac was feeling and jumped between him and the adults when they advanced upon him. He bore his white teeth and was ready to use that bite attack that was quite effective in driving away enemies.
"You WILL go." His father said, "Or else you'll never get anywhere in your life. We will also disown you if you keep up with this nonsense."
No words can describe the mortification on his face when his own father, the man that helped give him life, said those words. Parents were to love you no matter what, not disown you when it was becoming difficult to handle. He just picked eevee up and, after scratching his ear, went to his room.
"They can't make us go eve." He said to him. "We'll go where they'll never find us, and they'll just go without us and then, just maybe then, we can do what we've wanted for so long." Eevee then looked up at him with so much happiness in its eyes and hope in its little brown heart, "Yeah buddy, we can finally go on our journey, starting with the world!"
He put eevee down and waited till his parents were fast asleep then began to pack what he may need as he attempted to leave on his journey without being found out. He pulled out his dark blue canvas back pack and began to fill it with clothes, some of eevee's favorite food, his five empty pokeballs, his special trainer belt that held eevee's bright sky blue and black pokeball, his headband, a few maps of the surrounding area and world, and finally his pokemon guide manual and the notes he used to create the fission takedown.
Eevee watched as his trainer got dressed in a pair of jeans, a black shirt with a pokeball in the upper right hand corner, a pair of black gloves with the fingers and knuckles cut out, his favorite tan and white shoes, and finally he strapped on the blue vest his grandmother had given him. It had a bunch of pockets, which were stuffed with potions, revives, and his trainers license he had gotten when he turned ten. Eevee didn't need much but he did covet the stone that he and his friend had found in the cover one-day. It was a pale white stone that was as big as Isaac's hand and eevee love to carry it in his mouth, it had a warm iron taste that he enjoyed.
"Well eevee," Isaac spoke softly as he packed up the coveted stone from out of its mouth and into his vest pocket. "We're off, the ferry will be leaving soon. So return, you can come out as soon as we get onboard."
Eevee hated the ball but knew that it was the best way to go, so he returned to it as Isaac held out the ball and said return. He wrote a note to his so called parents, put his wallet in his pocket, and then ran as fast as he could to catch the midnight ferry to New Bark town. A place where the pair would be safe and finally be able to start their adventure in the wide world of pokemon!

Well that's it for now chapter one is complete and please tell me what you think. I hope you all like the beginning and cant wait to meet the next trainer and her powerful pokemon, and Isaac's first run in with the legend of the everstone.
