Chapter 1: Setting Out!

"Rosie...get up, breakfast is ready" came a mature womans voice that echoed through the house.

A young girl rose from her pink and white bed. She had long brown hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin, her name is Rosie Anne Parks and today was her day to start her pokemon journey.

She turns ten years old today and thats the age for young people to set of on a journey around there home region. They get a starting pokemon from the regions proffesor and a starting kit.

Rosie rose out of her bed and was now stadning in her room that was jam packed with pokemon dolls. She was a massive pokemon fan and has waited forever for this day to come and now it has she is just to exited. Her eyes widened at the thought of her first pokemon being with her in a matter of hours.

She looked around then spotted herself in the mirror...she looked like she belongs in a horror film so she ran to the bathroom, washed up and then back into her room, she ran to her chest of draws and started tearing into them.

She finally found what she was looking for. It took her about half an hour to get dressed and come down stairs. She had her hair put up into a ponytailwith a white cap with a pink pokeball obn the front. A white tnak top with a black sleeveless jacket over the top, blue denim 3/4 lenghs and pink and black high tops. She came running down the stairs and into the kitchen where there was breakfast, her mum, her mums Tediursa called Fera and a small gift box wrapped up in white paper with a pink ribbon tied to it.

"Happy birthday dear" said her mum Angie walking up and embacing her duaghter in a hug. She was a tall slim beautifull woman. She had long flowing brown hair with bright blue eyes that make her tanned skin show more. Rosie took after her father when it came to her eyes and personality but everythinbg else was her mothers. "Thanks mum, i cant believe im ten years old and i can finnaly get my trainers liscence" Rosie said while pulling away.

It was Fera's turn to jump at Rosie. The little bear pokemon jumped on her head and started licking her cheek, "Ursa, tedi" Fera said out of joy, "Allright Fera, come on down now" said Angie before struggling to get Fera of her daughters face. Once of they all sat down for breakfast.

"So...mum whats in the box?" Rosie said. She just had to ask, "Oh, its nothing" replied mum before continuing to eat. "Oh come on mum, its for me isnt it?" Rosie replied with a cheeky grin, "Of course it is, go ahead and open it" mum replied.

Rosie smiled then started to tear away the paper. Inside was a plain brown cardboard box but what was in the box was so much better. Rosie opened the box and could see it sitting there a brand...new...Poke gear. It was mettalic green with turquoise markings on. "Wow...thanks mum" Rosie squealed as she litterally dived over the table full of food and took her, Fera and her mum to the ground, "Thats okay dear, just dont brake it, that thing cost me a fortune" her mum replied.

Amongst all the cammotion they couldnt hear the door open and close and once they was up, standing in the door way was a tall handsome man with short brown hair with dark brown eyes, wearing a working suit, that was her father Mason. Rosie turned around, "Dad...your here" she shouted as she ran up to her father and hugged him, "I managed to get back for today, i werent going to miss my daughters first day" he replied.

Angie got from the table and walked over and kissed her husband on the cheek, "Its good you made it home" she said. They both kissed passionatly before Fera jumped over Mason licking him to death which made everyone laugh.

Rosie turned on her new device and on the screen was, 'Time/Date', 'Map' and 'Phone book', she pressed on the time and it read, '8:34 am', "Oh no...im gonna be late" she screamed. Her mum and dad turned around after prying Fera of her dads face, "Well, you better get going then" they both said.

Tears started falling down Rosie's cheeks, "Mum...dad, im going to miss you so much" she said before leaping on them both, "Same here dear" replied mum, "Be strong princess and keep looking forward" her dad replied.

She let go, grabbed her pink and white shoulder bag and left the house.


She looked out accross her home town of New bark. The sun was just rising above the trees and she could see a couple Pidgey flying towards route 29. She left her garden where her mothers Vileplume called Petal was resting and ran down the street.

She finnaly made it to Prof. Elm's lab just minutes before she was suppose to and she ran in, "Professor, am i too late?" she shouted accross the room full of paper work and computers. At the back where a desk lay was a man with short brown hair sitting behind it, "Oh no Rosie, dont worry, we still have one pokemon left" he said before getting up and walking over to Rosie with a trolley.

On the trolley lay a tray that had a white pokedex and 6 pokeballs but one was larger then the others with a leaf sticker on the front, "Rosie, say hello to your new pokemon" Elm said before picking up the pokeball and revealing the pokemon inside.

In a flash of white light out came a small green pokemon with a leaf on its head, "Oh my god, a Chikorita, i cant believe it" squeeled Rosie jumping up and down. The small pokemon looked at her with confusion but then finnaly realised that she was her trainer and ran up to her nuzzeling her leg.

Rosie looked down and smiled before picking her new pokemon up, "Professor, is it a boy or a girl?" she asked, "This little one is a girl, she is newley born aswell" Elm replied.

"Right, so your gonna be my little princess" she said. Chikorita replied with a lick on Rosie's cheek, "I guess you like it", "Chiko...rita" Chikorita replied. After getting to know each other more, Elm presented Rosie with her pokedex and gave her five pokeballs.

"Right, Rosie, when you reach Cherrygrove go straight to the pokemon center and they will sort put your trainers licence and sign you up to compete in the indigo platue or in the grand festival" Elm said, "Erm, sure thing professor and thankyou so much for Chikorita, i promise i wont let you down" Rosie replied before turning and leaving the lab.


She was no outside the lab, she put Chikorita down and took out her pokeball, "Allright girl, return" she said before a beam of red energy enveloped Chikorita and sucking her up into the pokeball. Rosie walked of and reached the exit of New bark town, there was a sign saying, 'New bark town - Route 29'. She turned her back and looked over at her birth place.

"Well...this is it, no turning back, no backing down, this is what i want to do and im going to achive my goal" she said with tears welling up in her eyes. She could see all the people she had gotten to know over the past ten years and she was going to miss them but she was heading out on a great adventure.

She turned back around and took her first step into route 29. What challenges await Rosie and will she achive her goal wait around to find out...To Be Continued!

Next time: Rosie is making her way through route 29. She will meet new people, see new places and catches her first pokemon. She makes it to Cherrygrove where somthing bad happens...what is it?
