Chapter One: The Beginning
It began like any other morning in the region of Vamago, except today was a special day. It was the day that all new trainers were to receive their official first Pokémon. Jake, our protagonist, woke up bright and early in anticipation of receiving this starter Pokémon. He leaped out of bed in a frenzy, frantically trying to get dressed amidst his lunatic-style bouncing and dancing. "Today's the day! Today's the day!" He shouted as he attempted to buckle his belt.
He ran down the stairs to quickly consume a bowl of cereal and down a glass of orange juice before he ran to the laboratory at the edge of town. As he devoured his breakfast, his little Ralts, Lancelot, approached him curiously, its psychic powers picking up on the overwhelming joy flowing out of Jake's mind. "Lancelot, it's time for me to get my starter! Do you know what this means?" Lancelot shook his head no. "We get a new friend!" Jake replied, a moronic grin upon his face.
As he put his bowl in the sink, he went to the front door to leave when he noticed a large box near it. As he inspected the box, he saw a label addressed to him. He opened the box to find a very nice backpack with a note and several pokéballs inside. As he continued to dump the box he saw an envelope fly out. As he bent down to pick it up, he began to open it and read its contents.
"Dear Jake,
We wish we could be there to see you off, but we are still touring the Unova region. Your father and I, however, decided to buy you a brand new backpack for your journey. Inside it are a few things we find essential for your journey. We love you very much and hope you succeed at becoming the greatest trainer of all time!
Lots of Love,
Mom and Dad"
"They sure know how to leave a goodbye." Jake chuckled as he shouldered his bag and prepared to head out the door. He locked the door and turned to face the rural setting of Lisse Town, where he had lived his entire life. The thought of actually leaving gave him a slight sense of sadness, but he knew he would return a champion someday. "Let's go!" He shouted at Lancelot, as they ran to the laboratory of Professor Avon Hawethorne.
