(A/N)

Woo. It just got me thinking I should write a Pokemon journey story. Even though the number of reviews might be very little… Pokedex info are created by me. Appearance of characters(although you won't ever get to see them) are owned by Pokemon. Name of characters are owned by Ben 10.

"A burglar's in the room!! A burglar's in the room!!" a high-pitched voice cried, and the boy named Ben woke up immediately. He snatched a broom and yelled, "where's the burglar?"

Then he remembered his mum had just installed that tone into his alarm clock so it would frighten him enough to get him out of bed.

Typical.

Ben couldn't resist a quick yawn as he hurried into the bathroom to bathe and brush up. Today wasn't any original day, but the day where his adventures began. Yep, Ben had just reached 10 and could get a Pokemon License!

Ben hurried downstairs. "Hi, honey. You're early. Prof. Fern has just opened the Fern Laboratory. You should be one of the early trainers to choose their pokemon and get their Pokemon License. Now hurry along. Remember to give me a call after Prof. Fern gives you your PokePhone." Ben's always-so-worried mother, Jenny, reminded him.

Ben gave Jenny a peck on the cheek before hurrying out of the door. He couldn't wait to get his pokemon! The 10-year-old hurried to the Fern Laboratory and rushed into the lab. A boy at his age was receiving a pokemon from Prof. Fern.

"Hah! I got down earlier than you, I see!" the boy laughed. It was Ben's rival, Kevin. "Oh shut it." Ben snapped, as he rushed up to Prof. Fern. "Hello, Ben. Which pokemon would you like? There're only Squirtle and Bulbasaur left." the Prof. said kindly.

"Ooh, a Squirtle would be nice. I love water types, like my parents." Ben said eagerly. Prof. Fern laughed as he handed a Pokeball to Ben. "Here's your Pokedex. It will record the Pokemon you encounter during your journey. It also has a record of your caught Pokemon. And here is your PokePhone. I suppose your mum has told you about that? You can contact people with it, if you know their house number or phone number. Also, here is five Pokeballs for you to catch other Pokrmon on your journey." Prof. Fern said.

"Thanks, Prof!" Ben said with tons of excitement. "Hey, Ben, let's have a battle! It'll prove which Pokemon are stronger." Kevin said, grinning with confidence. He's being overconfident, Ben thought, and snorted. "Bring it on, Kev!"

"Charmander, I choose you!" Kevin sent his Pokeball flying and a lizard-like Pokemon appeared. A merry little fire was burning at the tip of its tail.

Ben took out his Pokedex. "Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon. Male, Level 5. Charmander is the most mild-mannered of its evolution line, and there aren't many in the wild. The life force of this Charmander is the flame at the tip of its tail. Once the flame goes out, the Charmander will die. When it is angered, the flame on its tail will be very strong."

"Squirtle, get to work!" Ben tossed a Pokeball onto the ground and a standing-up turtle appeared. Ben took out his Pokedex to find out more about Squirtle, although he knew his mother owned a Squirtle and he had seen it a million times already.

"Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon. Male, Level 5. This Pokemon is well-known for the hard shell on its back. Not one in the entire universe can break it, and it acts as a good weapon and a good defensive tool. When Squirtle feels threatened, it can use Withdraw to hide in its shell so nothing can damage it. A Squirtle can also use attacks with its shell. These attacks include Rapid Spin and Skull Bash."

"Hmm. Currently, Squirtle only has a Tackle attack…" Ben said, checking his Pokedex. "Uh well. Kev's Charmander also has only one attack, anyway. Squirtle, Tackle at full force!" Ben yelled, and Squirtle nodded and slammed into Charmander, who fell back head-first.

"Argh, get back in battle, you useless fire lizard!" Kevin shouted. "Hey, that's no way to treat a Pokemon!" Ben yelled. "Oh yeah? Just try this. Charmander, Scratch!" Kevin ordered with an angry tone, and the scared Charmander edged forward, scratching Squirtle. Squirtle sustained some damage.

Ben thought for a moment, then he had an idea. Just then, Charmander jumped at Squirtle, preparing a Scratch attack. "Counter back with a Tackle!" Ben yelled, and Squirtle tackled Charmander while Charmander's claw dug into Squirtle. Both the Pokemon were knocked back. Hard.

"Use your shell to bounce on the walls! This way, you won't stop tackling!" Ben yelled, releasing his plan. Squirtle nodded and jumped at the wall shell-first. Squirtle was thrown to Charmander, and slammed him away, before bouncing back again.

SLAM!

Charmander fell onto the ground. Squirtle bounced back. With a final Tackle, Charmander was out cold!

"Argh, useless pest. Return!" Kevin returned Charmander to its Pokeball, and glared at Ben. "I'll battle you again, when I have trained! Smell ya' later, big ass!" Kevin did his usual goodbye quote, and ran out of the door.

"That was pretty impressive, Ben!" Prof. Fern commented, and Ben beamed. "Okay, off you go on your Pokemon adventure! Remember to call your mother. She told you to call her as soon as you got your PokePhone right?" Prof. Fern smiled as he walked away. Ben skipped out excitedly, eager to start his journey.
