Episode 1: The Unova Quest Begins

It was just another day in Unova. I was to begin my Pokemon adventure in the Unova with Cheren and Bianca. The problem? Bianca was late again! I had been sitting on my bed with a present that we weren't supposed to open until the three of us were together. But this was taking too long.

"What's taking her so long, Adam?" asked Cheren out of annoyance.

"Not quite sure, Cheren," I replied.

"She was supposed to be here a few hours ago."

"What are we going to do just sitting here? This is getting boring."

Then, it was at that moment that Bianca had at long last appeared. "Sorry I'm late, Adam. I was just so excited." Then, she took note of the present. "OH! A present! I want to open it! I want to open it!"

"Sorry Bianca, but Adam has to open it," said Cheren.

"Aw, no fair," Bianca replied.

"Well, he has to open it!"

"I want to open it!"

"Let him open it!"

"No, let me open it!"

I wasn't going to let that argument get any worse. "WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP YOU TWO?" I yelled. This ended the argument. "That's better. Bianca, let me open it."

"Okay, go right on ahead," said Bianca.

I sweat dropped in response. I never expected Bianca to go from "Oh, let me do it" to "Go ahead and do it". So, I simply walked over to the present and read the note. The note was from Professor Juniper, Unova's Pokemon professor. It said that the present contained some starter Pokemon, and that I can choose one. So I opened it… and was startled when an Oshawott suddenly burst out of its Pokeball.

"Sorry. Did I startle you?" asked the Oshawott.

I slowly got up and replied, "Of course you did, but I forgive you. So, why did you burst out of your Pokeball?"

"I was thinking of going on an adventure with you by chance."

"Well, I AM going on an adventure. So, want to come with me?"

This Oshawott was starry-eyed now. "You really mean it?"

"Of course! We'll be best partners, and we'll beat those gyms together."

This was when Oshawott tackled me to the floor. "Oh thank you so much! I'll do my best!"

Cheren and Bianca picked their starters as well. Cheren chose Snivy, while Bianca chose Tepig. This was when Bianca suddenly jumped up and yelled, "Let's battle!"

"Wait a minute…" said Oshawott in complete horror. "I'm inexperienced!"

"Don't you worry about anything, Oshawott. Just try your best to win," I replied.

"O-okay. Here goes nothing…"

Bianca's Tepig started off with a Tackle. Oshawott countered with a Tackle of his own. This was where everything went completely wrong and… aw dammit, that Tepig was raging through my room.

"Uh, Tepig? Please calm down," said Bianca. Normally, this would cause Tepig to stop, but…

…

…

…

…

…

…nope! Tepig simply ignored Bianca and continued raging through my room, destroying anything in his path. And Tepig charged towards me. This was when Oshawott struck Tepig. The latter's eyes got swirly as he collapsed, making me the winner. Unfortunately…

"Bianca, you might want to look around," Cheren said. Yep, you guessed it. I was too late. That Tepig had trashed my room. COMPLETELY!

"I'm sorry about your room, Adam," said Bianca, but I just glared at her.

"What have you done," I said angrily. "You trashed my room!"

"Adam, don't worry. Let's start our battle now," said Cheren.

=Meanwhile, with Oshawott…=

Oshawott's POV

Yep, that room was a complete mess. I simply looked around, and then glared at Tepig.

"Now look what you did," I said angrily. "You trashed my master's room during our battle!"

"Sorry about that," said Tepig. "I just wanted to win."

"Well, that was no reason to trash my master's room completely!"

Just then, Adam walked up to me. "Oshawott, you're up again," he said. I walked up to Adam, but not before glaring at Tepig once more.

"During our rematch, you'll pay for what you did to Adam's room."

=Back to Adam=

Adam's POV

I was so prepared for this. I mean, come on. Oshawott took down Tepig. I'm sure he's strong enough to win. Well, that went downhill. Snivy had the upper hand when he used Tackle on Oshawott, and then tried to lower the defenses with Leer. Yep, you guessed it again. I was screwed. Though Oshawott landed a few hits, he was soon going to be knocked out… or so it seemed. But then, Oshawott charged at Snivy. I couldn't believe it; Oshawott was going to take this thing like a man! He used Tackle, but it wasn't a normal Tackle. No, it was a CRITICAL HIT! Cheren's Snivy's eyes got swirly like Tepig's as it collapsed.

"No! Snivy!" Cheren yelled in horror. "No! I lost!"

"Nice try, Cheren," said Bianca in a confronting tone.

"Yeah, thanks Bianca," Cheren replied. "Well, we'll see you downstairs, Adam." And with that, they left with my room. As soon as they left, I turned to my Oshawott.

"Oshawott… DID YOU JUST TAKE DOWN A SNIVY WITH A CRITICAL HIT?!" I asked excitedly.

"Of course I did. I did it to impress you. How was it?" Oshawott asked.

"It was amazing!" I replied. Then, I took another look at my room. "But my room… Oh no! My mom will kill me. I'm screwed!"

"It can't be that bad, Adam," Oshawott replied.

I nodded and headed downstairs. But Cheren and Bianca were already downstairs.

"I'm sorry for what happened," said Cheren.

"It will be alright," replied my mom. So basically, I was safe.

"Hey, mom," I said.

"Well hey there, Adam," said my mom. "Bianca and Cheren were talking to me about those battles you had. Well, I can clean up your room. Anyways, here is your Xtranciever." And with that, my mom gave me my Xtranciever.

"Thanks mom," I said, and walked out of the house. Bianca and Cheren were outside waiting for me.

"Oh boy! An adventure! I'm going to tell my father," Bianca cheerfully said and ran off to her house.

I sweat dropped. "Oh, man. Here goes Bianca again…"

Just then, Professor Juniper called from the lab. "Adam, come here!"

"Aw, dammit. I was going to go to Bianca's house," I said in disappointment. Then, I turned to Oshawott. "Oshawott, I need you to go to Bianca's house and find out what the heck it going on at Bianca's house."

"Leave it to me, Adam," Oshawott replied. And with that, he skipped off to Bianca's house.

"I'm not sure about Bianca, Adam," Cheren told me as we walked up to Professor Juniper.

"Well, by chance, Bianca's father might not let her go on her quest. It depends," I replied.

=Meanwhile…=

Oshawott's POV

I had finally made it; Bianca's house. All that time, I was starry-eyed about Adam's comment after I defeated Cheren's Snivy. So I went up to the door, and realized that the door was open by a little. I approached the door, but I could have sworn that there was an argument.

"NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO!" the voice of Bianca's angry father boomed.

Yep, I was right.

"Dad, you're just jealous because I have a Pokemon," Bianca yelled back.

"Well, you're too young to go on a journey! I forbid you to go on a journey with your stupid friends!"

Stupid? Did he just call Adam stupid?

"Well, you can just shut up and leave me alone, you dumbhead!"

Oooh, that was startling. I bet she's angry at her dad.

"Don't talk to me that way!"

"Well forget it dad! I'm going, and you can't stop me!"

"NO!"

"TOO BAD! I'M GOING!"

Yep, Bianca was angry at her dad.

"BIANCA, GET OVER HERE!"

"LA LA LA LA LA LA NOT LISTENING!"

"I'M NOT KIDDING AROUND, BIANCA! GET YOUR FINGERS OUT OF YOUR EARS AND GET OVER HERE NOW!"

…Wow. Just… wow. Bianca is in a bad mood today. What made it worse was that she accidentally kicked me in the head in her anger. Ouch indeed.

"Oops, sorry Oshawott," said Bianca to me, having calmed down.

Despite the bump on my head, I went over to Bianca. "What was all of that noise?"

"My dad wouldn't let me go on a journey. Well, my dad's only jealous, that's all," replied Bianca.

"Well, let's go into the lab, Bianca."

"Alright."

Then, Tepig came out of his Pokeball.

"Hey, Oshawott," he said.

"What do you want," I asked.

"Remember when I trashed up Adam's room and Bianca apologized? Well, I too should apologize as well. It was very foolish of me to lose my temper like that. I'm just reckless and tend to lose my temper a lot. But that will change. We'll be friends from now on. Oh, and in rematches, I'll be prepared for you. So, do you forgive me?"

My eyes started watering. Then I broke down crying.

"Um, Oshawott… why are you crying?"

"That was… very touching. I DO forgive you, Tepig! So, are we friends forever?"

"Of course, Oshawott. Of course."

I hugged Tepig while he let me cry. For once, I became friends with Tepig. And there was nothing that can break out friendship. We were friends forever, and I knew it.

=Back with Adam…=

Adam's POV

I was glad when Oshawott finally arrived. I said, "Hey, Oshawott."

"Hey, Adam," Oshawott replied.

"So, Oshawott what took you so long to-?" I suddenly stopped to find that Oshawott was crying and hugging Tepig. "Huh? Why are you crying and hugging Tepig, Oshawott?"

"Adam… Tepig apologized to me for trashing your room, and I forgave him. I'm now crying out of happiness. I'm just so happy to find friends like you and Bianca's Tepig. This is the best start of a journey ever!"

"I'm glad to hear that you made a new friend, Oshawott."

With that, we entered the lab. Professor Juniper was waiting.

"Good morning. My name is-." Professor Juniper started.

"Professor Juniper. We all know you," Cheren interrupted.

"Now, Cheren, don't interrupt. Anyway, I'm Professor Juniper, and I am glad to have given you a starter. Now before we move on, do you want to give your Pokemon a nickname?"

Cheren and Bianca both said at once, "No thank you. I'm keeping it the way it is."

But I stood up. "In order to honor my Oshawott for landing a critical hit finish, I'm giving this Oshawott a nickname."

Oshawott turned to me, starry-eyed, and said, "Y-you're giving me a nickname? YAY! Which one will it be? Come on, say the nickname and I will accept if it's a good one."

I thought for one second. Then, I turned to Oshawott and said, "Oshawott, your name should no longer be Oshawott. Nope, instead it should be Swordslash. How does that sound to you? Do you like it?"

Swordslash looked at me for ten seconds, still starry-eyed, and then running up to me in delight, he tackled me to the floor once again. I was pinned to the floor as the very happy Swordslash was on me.

"Ohmygoshthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou," said Swordslash. "I promise I'll try my best!"

"I'm glad you liked the nickname I gave you," I replied. Swordslash got off of me, and I got up.

"Very nice, Adam," said Professor Juniper. "Swordslash seems to have liked that." Then, she pulled out three Pokedexes. "Now then, I want you to take these Pokedexes," she said.

"What the heck is a Pokedex," asked Bianca. I couldn't believe it. Bianca doesn't know what a Pokedex is. I turned to Swordslash and we both shrugged.

"Well, a Pokedex is a device that records Pokemon data every time you find a new Pokemon," Professor Juniper replied. "The Pokemon's page is fully written when you catch a Pokemon you had never caught before. Use them wisely. Now then, I'll give each of you a Pokedex."

And so, Professor Juniper gave us a Pokedex, but she accidentally gave me her research papers. "Uh, Professor Juniper, you're not supposed to give me your research papers," I said.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Adam. I gave you my research papers by mistake," Professor Juniper replied. She took the research papers and gave me a Pokedex. But something was wrong. When I turned it on, it showed a battery icon, and then turned off. "Oh dear, sorry again, Adam," said Professor Juniper. "I forgot to turn off this Pokedex last night." With that, she replaced the battery, but when I turned the Pokedex on again, there was no battery percentage on the corner.

"What is this? There's no percentage," I said.

"Well, this battery never dies out," Professor Juniper replied. "Now if you leave it on, don't worry. It never dies out. You're also lucky, because this is my last special battery that I'm giving you."

"Thanks, Professor Juniper," I replied.

"Now, I'll see you at Route 1," said Professor Juniper. And with that, she was off.

And so, when we went to the sign that said Route 1, Bianca said, "Hey, let's take our first step on Route 1 at the same time on the count of three."

"I have no objections," I said.

"Alright," said Bianca. "One… two…"

"Three!" I finished for Bianca. And with that, my journey around Unova officially began.
