The sun had barely risen, the grass along the path was still covered in dew. A young girl, just turned twelve, was walking along the path. Her thick, dark brown hair was tied in a pony tail. She wore blue jeans and a red spaghetti-strap shirt, with a yellow star in the middle. She looked at the creature walking beside her, it turn to her and smiled. She grinned and returned her eyes to the road. She remember what happened early that morning.

"Chels!"

Chelsea came running downstairs.

"SHHH!" Chelsea said holding a finger to her lips, "Your gonna wake mom up!" She countiued hissed at her older sister. She looked at the mirror on the wall and frowned. Her hair was in a mess, some strands of it were sticking out at odd angles. She looked at the pouch in her hand. She opened it and began to look for a brush.

"Chels, your going to start your journey today right?"

Chelsea found the brush and began to tame her hair. She looked at her sister through the mirror.

"Yeah, so what." She said, putting up her hair in a neat ponytail.

"Well… I know your going to get your first pokemon today."

Chelsea eyed her older sister. She had begun her journey three years ago when she had turned ten. That was before they had moved. When she was ten they still lived in the Kanto region. The starter pokemon in that region were charmander, squirlte, and bulbasaur. They were all nice pokemon, but she had picked charmander. And over the span of three years, she had traveled the Kanto, Johto, and Hoen region. And in each region, she some how managed to collect all of the starter pokemon, and become part of the Hall of Fame for each region. And now she would surly do the same thing in Sinnoh. But now it was Chelsea's turn, her turn to begin her journey.

"Yeah, I was thinking of getting a torchic." Chelsea responded. "Unless you suggest anything else Yulie?"

Yulie grinned at her younger sister's sassiness. "Remember that little trip to the Sinnoh Region I took?"

"Yeah, but you came back only after a month."

"Well, before I left I was able to 'pick up' four pokemon."

Chelsea rolled her eyes, of course three of those four pokemon would be the starters for that region. But what could the fourth one be?

"And?"

"Well, I know they aren't torchic's but…" Yulie reached for four poke balls around her waist. She place two in each hand between her fingers. Just before she was going to release them, she grinned again.

"Maybe we should step outside? These are sorta young pokemon, and might not do so well inside."

Chelsea sighed, she picked up her bag and followed her outside. It was mildly chilly out side, and it was dark. It took Chelsea's eyes time to adjust to the darkness.

Yulie winked and cried. "Go Pokeballs!" She threw them in to the air, each letting a red silhouette land on the ground.

Four pokemon landed in front of Chelsea. The first pokemon was turtle-like, with two leaves on it's head and a brown shell. Chelsea smiled, it was a successful combination of a squirtle and bulbasaur, she believed. Because of it's green complexion, and the two leaves on it's head, she guessed it was a grass type.

The second one was clearly a fire type, it had a flame for a tail. It had a swirl on it's chest, and had orangey brown fur. The monkey pokemon was very feisty, judging by the way it was playing around the third pokemon.

The third pokemon was a bit like torchic, but it was blue and had white patches around it's eyes. She liked this pokemon. She new if she ever went to the Sinnoh region she would surly get it. If Chelsea's hunch was right, she suspected it to be a water type. Though, right now it using peck on the fire-type because it had pulled it's tail playfully. And maybe a little too hard.

"Piplup! Stop it!" Yulie cried as she realized they were no longer playing. "Chimchar was only being a little frisky!"

But before anything was solved, Chimchar backed into the grass type, catching him on fire.

"Oh no, Turtwig!" Yulie cried as she saw chimchar catch it on fire. Turtwig ran around crying. Chelsea couldn't help but smirk, it was too funny not to. She looked over to the fourth pokemon that was sniggering at the hysteria.

Chelsea knew this was the pokemon she wanted. It was a reddish-brown color, with a big tail, and a tuft of curled fur on it's head. She walked over to it. It stopped sniggering. It looked at her with curiosity. Chelsea decided she wanted to pet it. As soon as she place her hand on it's head, she felt heat fly up her arm.

"Ow!" She cried and sucked on her fingers. She heard a chuckle from behind her. She turned around to see her sister laughing at her. She had solved the problem by returning the pokemon to their poke balls. Chimchar was on her shoulders. She always favored the fire type starters, but she had a soft spot for water types too. Chelsea glared at Yulie.

"That's vulpix, it's a fire type."

"I knew that!" Chelsea snapped back. "But isn't it suppose to be a Kanto pokemon?"

"Chelsea, pokemon live in different regions, just like people do." Yulie bent down and picked up the vulpix. "Actually, this little girl was abandoned at a pokemon center." Yulie petted the vulpix in her arms. "Nurse Joy said that it was pretty beat up when she found it."

"Let me hold her!" Chelsea said holding out her hands. Yulie placed the vulpix in her arms. Chelsea smiled as it curled up, and lay against her chest. Vulpix looked at the hand it had earlier burn and began to lick it.

"Well look at that! Looks like she warming up to you already!" Yulie said smiling." Chimchar chattered in agreement.

Chelsea closed her eyes and smiled, she lightly squeezed vulpix.

"This is the one I want!"

Yulie smiled,

"Vulpix, it's not a starter pokemon, but I had a feeling you two would get along." She sighed and smiled at Chimchar, "Looks like I get to keep you!"

Chimchar returned the smile.

Yulie began to walk off, then she turned around and jogged back.

"I forgot to give you some stuff." Yulie handed her a small plastic bag. "That should be enough to get you to Petalburg City. Your meeting Lydia there right?"

Chelsea shifted vulpix to the one arm, in order to grab the bag.

"I'm meeting her at the pokemon center here in Oldale town."

"Oh, well don't forget to go to Littleroot town and see Prof. Birch real quick." Yulie reached in to her pocket and took out two poke balls. She handed one to Chelsea.

"That's vulpix's pokeball." Yulie said, "Bye-bye vulpix." She said patting her head. She threw the second poke ball in the air.

"Pigdeot!" The pokemon squawked. Yulie got on it's back.

"Good luck!" She yelled, and pigdeot took off into the dawning sky.

Chelsea hugged vulpix and then set it down on the road. Vulpix's burgundy eyes had a luminous glow in the dark. Chelsea looked through the plastic bag and saw a few items she thanked Yulie silently for buying her.

But the thing she was most grateful for was the map.

She loaded the stuff in her pouch and then clicked it onto her waist. She stuck the poke ball onto a clip she had hanging from her pant. She tried to study the map, but it proved difficult to do with out any light. She folded up the map and tucked it in her pocket.

She turned to vulpix with both hands on her hips.

"Do you want to walk, or you want to go inside your poke ball?"

Vulpix mewed and trotted along the road in front of Chelsea.

"I take it you want to walk." She said following Vulpix. She noticed signs of wounds healing on vulpix's back legs. They were light and didn't seem to affect vulpix now, so Chelsea decided to wait until they were at the Pokemon Center. She would ask Nurse Joy to do a quick check up.

The sun had now risen, and Chelsea was walking along the path. Her thick, dark brown hair was tied in a pony tail. She wore blue jeans and a red spaghetti-strap shirt with a yellow star in the middle. She looked at the vulpix trotting beside her, it turn to her and smiled. Chelsea grinned and returned her eyes to the road. She saw, at last, the pokemon center. And sitting on the bench was another girl, with another pokemon on her shoulder.
