The Eden, it's a region nicknamed the pristine of beauty and abundant of sugary items. In a small town, name Eve lives me, Pai-Ling Chan. I'm 18 years old, and soon to be Pokémon Trainer. Ever since I watched, my mother on TV destroys, countless trainers I wanted to be like her. My mother name Mei, the newest member of The Elite Four.

"Pai, Professor Peach is here!" my little sister yells.

"HOLD ON, I'M ALMOST READY!" I roar at Lei, as I put a white shirt and red short overalls on.

I rush downstairs, being greeted with a small bubble that pops in my face. I see Lei, Professor Peach, and two Pokémon, playing with each other.

"Uh, Professor Peach..." I say tapping her back

"PAI, IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU!" Prof Peach happily yells hugging me.

Professor Peach, she's a researcher on Pokémon language. It's her life goal, to break the barrier between Pokémon and trainer communication. She understands there's communication, through partnership or telepathy. But Prof Peach, believe that Pokémon battle isn't the only way of communication. I believe in her, I'm sure someday she'll definitely make a way for Pokémon to communicate with trainers.

"How goes the research Professor?" I curiously ask.

"Well it's pretty difficult, but I won't let that stop me." She says bravely

"Anyway, How's about you pick your starter Pokémon?" She says while stepping aside revealing the Pokémon.

I notice a fox-like Pokémon, covered in pale yellow fur. It has large ears, with dark orange fur covering the insides. The tip of its fluffy, tail also has dark orange fur and its muzzle white. Large dark orange eyes, a pointy black nose, and slim legs.

"So you're interested in Fennekin, it can be irritable, but it tries to do its best." Professor Peach explains with a grin.

So Fennekin, that's the name of this Pokémon. By my guess, I'd say it's a fire type Pokémon. Fire Pokémon are really neat, but some of them tend to disobey its trainer. Thou I think that due to my, past experience with fire Pokémon I rather not I have one. It's a rather sensitive memory, so I gaze upon the water Pokémon.

"What's the water Pokémon name, Prof Peach?" I ask while squatting in front of it.

"That's Popplio, the Sea Loin Pokémon, it uses bubbles that come from its nose as part of battles or acrobatics." She explains while picking Fennekin.

Gazing at Popplio, it tilts its head in confusion. I smile at Popplio, and it does the same. I pick up Popplio, holding it up high and it happily cries.

"I choose you Popplio, so how about you travel with me?" I ask holding Popplio close to my face.

Popplio yet again cries, out happily. Thou I do feel bad for Fennekin, I walk towards who snap me.

"Oh, Fennekin I know you're upset, but I'm sure a friend of mine would love to have you, as their Pokémon." I assure to Fennekin.

Fennekin turns its head, in a sassy matter. With Popplio in my arms still, I put my red high-top sneakers on and open the door. The smell of cinnamon is in the air, as usual, due to the bakery shops. I walk towards Eve's Gate, it's where the bakery shop are, and the entrance to Fairy Tale Forest. Yet I come to a complete halt, which made Popplio look up at me.

"Well... look like I'm ready, to take off" I say with my head held low.

"Come on... get moving you're wasting time." I say unconfidently while shaking

As I stand, shaking with Popplio, in my arms I suddenly stop when I felt a tap. I turn around to see my light skin neighbor, Junichi Kamakura. He's wearing a black sweater, that covered his hands. Khaki cargo shorts, and with black high-top sneakers. Junichi's outfit complements, his light purple eyes and black hair, with light purple highlights.

"You must be, quite nervous huh?" Junichi says with a grin.

" N-n-no, it's like 40° degrees out here." I say with confidence.

"It's early summer and you're nervous cause you thought I wasn't coming?" He rebuttals with a huge smile

"S-shut I could care less if you came with me."

Junichi pulls out his Xtransceiver and plays a voice recording of me begging him to travel. I bury my face, in the back of Popplio's due to embarrassment. Junichi and I have known each since we young kids. Our parents often, spent time with each and we became close. He can be teasing, quiet, and lazy. Thou ultimately, he's caring and quirky.

"Anyway, where's Prof Peach?" Junichi asks rubbing his messy hair.

"She's in my house, I thought she would have out soon." I answer lifting head.

"Geez, with that pale skin of yours it's easy to see you blush." He chuckles while walking off.


I blow a raspberry, at him as he walks which he replies with a cute grin. Junichi walks my house, as he approaches the door, I see Prof Peach burst out with excitement. Quickly drags Junichi inside, minutes later he out comes with Fennekin on his head. He comes towards, me with something he puts in my hands. It's red and white, with the words " Pokedex" on the screen.

" Pokédex" I say with confusion.

"It's basically an encyclopedia for Pokémon Pai." Junichi answers.

"This Pokédex also allows you take pictures, and tells you about your current Pokémon." He adds as he shows me a picture of Fennekin on his head.

I put the small rectangle Pokédex, in the pocket of my overalls. Junichi and I look towards, Eve's Gate and walks as the gate opens. I'm quite nervous, so I hug Popplio and glace at Junichi. Who has a happy grin, on his face, which calms me a bit.

"So... What exactly do you plan to accomplish on this journey Pai?" he asks without gazing at me.

"It's obvious Junichi, I'll my mother defeat and become a prominent trainer." I happily say while smiling and raising a fist to the sky.

Junichi chuckles at my goal, and says " I figure you say that." He had drag tone when he replied, but I know he'll support my dream. Junichi and I walk down the stairs of the town. Surprisingly for how small, this town is everyone comes to say goodbye. We say our goodbyes, and head out to Fairy Tale Forest.
