Kitty Pokemon Kanto
Chapter 1
Kitty woke up on the most important day of her life so far, it was the day she started her pokemon journey. Of course she had to start one month late since she was registered late as a trainer since her mother wouldn't give her permission but luckily for kitty there was another way for her to become a trainer which was taking a pokemon league approved exam which of course she passed with 100%. Kitty had thought the exam was easy since it included questions on everything a pokemon trainer should know and that everyone who wanted to become a trainer should have to take it however kitty supposed that there were some people who live in rural areas who would have difficultly having access to the exam and then there were people who had the knowledge but who just failed at exams. Looking at the pros and cons kitty concluded that the pros would be worth it since it would mean that people would have to study pokemon and they would know what they would be in for when they went on their journey. It would also mean that idiots who didn't understand the world they lived in wouldn't be able to become trainers and that would mean that themselves and any ill fortunate pokemon they captured would be less likely to get hurt which was inevitable for trainers that didn't know anything about the pokemon world. 'Yes' kitty thought as she got out of bed 'when I'm a pokemon researcher/professor I will make it so that anyone who wants to become a pokemon trainer will have to take that exam'.
Sitting at the dresser in her room kitty looked at her reflection in the mirror, she had long light brown hair which she loved but knew when she was in the wild she would need to wear a hat for practicality (like dawn's hat), kitty had dark brown eyes which were almost black and which always seemed to have purple specks in them. Kitty loved the purple in her eyes however her eyes seemed to freak quite a lot of people out including her own mother which had led to her leading quite a solitary existence what with her having no friends unless you counted some of the assistants at Professor Oak's lab. Kitty didn't really mind this since she had grown used to it and she thanked her purple eyes for turning her into what she was today since she knew if she had friends when she was younger she wouldn't be as smart as she was and her dream probably wouldn't be to become a pokemon professor. Kitty has wanted to become a pokemon professor for years and she always wants to research pokemon and she knows that a pokemon journey would be a great step in the right direction; she would get practical experience with pokemon, gain lots of valuable data and still have fun. Kitty had no delusions that the journey would be hard but she was very determined that she would succeed. She would travel through all the regions collecting her team of pokemon, battle gyms and take part in the pokemon leagues while doing anything else that took her fancy. It had always been kitty's plan to take the gym challenge and take part in the leagues since by doing this she would build up a reputation and by the time she becomes a pokemon professor she would be well known. It also helped that kitty was quite competitive and when she decided that she was going to become a pokemon trainer she had decided she was going to become the best that she could be. To most these dreams would seem like a lot for a young girl but kitty wasn't worried, she knew it would be tough but she also knew she would succeed. It would take many years to fulfil her dreams but she had plenty of time, she was only eleven.
Since her mother would never let her go on her pokemon journey kitty had never told her that she planned on going anyway, she would just save herself a lot of pointless arguing by not telling her. Since this was kitty's plan she couldn't pack her bag until this morning which meant she was in a bit of a rush to pack everything in while being as quiet as possible. Once kitty was satisfied that she had everything packed which included: a trainer's pack of food which would last about a week and could be brought in about any pokemart; a variety of pokemon food for any pokemon she captured which was given to her by the assistants at the lab; spare clothes which were mostly coloured purple since it was kitty's favourite colour; a fishing rod that she could use for catching water pokemon; a town map; her laptop; a bunch of notebooks for creating training and writing down data she collects since she wouldn't have time in the wild to use her laptop and a bunch of pokedollars which she had saved up over the years, she went down to have breakfast with her mother while leaving her backpack next to the back door for her quick getaway after breakfast. There was only silence as kitty had the pancakes her mother had prepared, kitty and her mother had never gotten along and her mother could never look at kitty in the eyes; kitty didn't know if it was because of the colouring of her eyes or if it was because of something else. Kitty's mother also hated pokemon and anything to do with them, it was one of the things kitty and her mother had argued over for many years since kitty had started to like pokemon which was at a very young age, her mother also blamed pokemon for kitty's father leaving them and never coming back although kitty had never got the story out of her mother apart from that, in fact kitty didn't even know her father's name or even if he was still alive or not which is why kitty now resents her mother and has no regrets about leaving without telling her, besides she had left a note. After she was finished eating kitty told her mother that she needed to get to school then she got her backpack and opened the back door, as it was closing kitty looked back at her mother who was starting to clean the kitchen, 'you can't hold me back anymore' kitty thought as the door closed 'not anymore. I know I am destined for great things, even if you don't think so'. As she left the garden kitty couldn't help but think it would be a very long time before she ever came back to the house.
Kitty decided to jog the short distance to the lab so they it would give her more time to get out of pallet town before her mother caught on the her daughter had left her, the jog was no trouble for kitty since for the past month since she wasn't able to get a pokemon she had helped around the lab so she could learn as much as she could and had taken the time to train her body since it would make her journey that easy bit easier. Also in exchange of making her wait to get a pokemon and with her helping around the lab Professor Oak had told her that she would get first pick of pokemon and she already knew which one she was going to pick. Kitty had never shy when it came to hard work and she knew and in the long term for her the best starter pokemon for her would be Charmander, who she would train to its potential and it would one day become a mighty Charizard which she would be able to fly on. In less than five minutes kitty was through the front door of the lab and after greeting the various assistants with a wave she was at the chamber where her starter awaited.
"Come in kitty, it's time that you picked the starter pokemon of your choice, I'm sure I don't need to tell you which pokeball contains which type of pokemon and what that pokemon is do I?", Professor Oak said friendlily gesturing towards the platform where lay the three starter pokemon each with a different symbol on the pokeballs depending on the pokemon type. Kitty went over to the platform and picked up the pokeball with a flame on it "of course not Professor you know me better than that, I just need my pokedex and pokeballs and I can get my journey started". Professor Oak moved to the side of the room where the pokedex and pokeballs lay and brought over to kitty a purple pokedex and five pokeballs which kitty quickly pocketed with a smile on her face at the Professor remembering that her favourite colour was purple. "You can wait for the other trainers to collect their pokemon, you could travel to the next city together if you wanted", Professor Oak said seeing that kitty was about to leave, kitty only turned her head as she was walking out of the room "no thanks Professor but they would only slow me down, besides Ash and Gary have a month on me already and I need to beat them, I'll call you when I get to the next pokemon center though", kitty called back as she left the room. Professor Oak smiled sadly as kitty left, he knew the answer before he had asked it but he was hoping she would agree since he thought she needed more friends.
As kitty strolled down the road that exited pallet town she thought about the journey ahead 'I have to catch up and then surpass Gary and Ash' kitty thought. Kitty, Gary and Ash had never really been friends in fact kitty would have been surprized if either of them knew she even existed but they both had kept declaring over the years that they would be a pokemon master before the other but she would beat them both to the goal and they didn't know it but their greatest contender had just joined the game.
