I do not own Pokemon or any of its characters and I never will!
Chapter One
10 years ago, a boy named Ash came to Littleroot in need of healing a Pikachu. A young girl dreamed of becoming a coordinator, her name was May. May Maple left Littleroot to become a fantastic coordinator with her Torchick and traveled away with Ash and soon met a boy named Drew. Now a younger child has dreamed of becoming a coordinator...now is her chance...
Hoen Region/ Littleroot Town 7:00 AM
10 year old Winter Rose has dreamed for so long. Now the day has finally come when she can be a Pokemon trainer. The journey would be long, and she knew that but still it couldn't hurt to try and become a famous trainer and coordinator. Badges and Ribbons would suit her style. The town star was still May Maple, the prodigy that left this town some time ago...when she was born to be exact. Now she wanted to be the favoirte and best trainer to leave Littleroot Town.
"Come on dear! You have to see Professor Birch soon!" A voice called up the stairs. It was her mother, Sue.
"Coming Mom!" Winter called down. She stared out the window watching the trees sway and the clouds move. She turned away and plodded down the steps to meet her mom at the kitchen table.
Her mother was 5' and only a few inches taller than her daughter. She had short brown hair and light skin color. Everything was kept nice and neat. Not a speck of dust landed on the floor without being sucked up into the vaccum. Winter smiled, the whole house was probably clean by now. Except her room. That was the dirtiest place in the whole house. Nothing was ever in the same place.
"Mom could you watch me when I'm at the professor's?" Winter asked not wanting to be alone, "or not-" She added when her mother did not answer.
"Honey, I don't really care for battling all that much. I never liked the idea of another person's Pokemon getting hurt."
"Mom please!" Winter begged. This meant a lot to her. She wanted her mother to be there with her. "Fine whatever..." Winter walked away and out the door. Outside would be good for her. The fresh air to clear her mind, and a look at the lab in Hoen.
Her slick blonde hair had come from one of her aunts. It was half-way down her back. Her skin was light with a tinge of a tan and was about 4' 11". The perfect material for a trainer too. At least that's what she thought. "I will be the greatest trainer from Hoen...maybe even grater than May!" With determination in her voice she walked back in the house to stand in front of her mother. "Mom I-" The words were cut off. Nobody was inside...no one at all...
Bursting out of the house, Winter ran to the back hoping to find someone. Anyone at all. A familiar face showed up as she rounded the corner of the house. "Please help me!" Winter begged not looking at the face. Then a soothing voice rang through the air.
"Calm down..." it was an older voice, the person had to be about 20 or something. Winter looked at the face finally and calm was replaced with embarassment.
"Your-your May Maple! The prodigy of Littleroot!" Winter exclaimed. The girl felt embarrased. Her blue eyes wide. May laid a comforting hand on her shoulder. Then she pointed to Sue on the back patio. Winter ran to her and pulled her into a hug. Sue smiled and then glanced at May.
"I'll go with you to the lab..oops! It's already 7:25! We better get going." Sue released her daughter and walked to the front of the house. May waved goodbye.
"Remember...follow your dream...it'll come true!" May said reassuringly.
Winter nodded and walked away only to be lead into the lab. Her mom went with her surprisingly. Winter entered the lab and found Professor Birch standing at a table with three Pokemon on it. Suddenly Professor Birch turned his back to them. All three Pokemon jumped from the table to the floor. "Uh!" Winter's mom sighed as they plowed over things.
One was a grass type called Treecko, another was a water type named Mudkip and lastly one was a fire type called Torchick. Winter knew them all by heart and dreamed of the day she'd choose one. Soon they were running past the two and out the door. Two of them crashed into a door that closed before they could get past. One of the Pokemon laughed at the other two and sat on a tree branch.
Professor Birch rubbed his head. "Man! These Pokemon are the wildiest Pokemon ever!" He exclaimed growling at them.
Winter laughed at the Pokemon in the tree. "Of course it'd be in a tree. That's Treecko!" She laughed. Instantly her laughter faded as the tree branch was sliced and the Pokemon fell into the arms of a lady.
"May!" Professor Birch sounded relieved. Just then a boy walked up. "Drew! So good to see both of you!" He said happily. Winter stood as still as a statue waiting to be noticed.
"Ahem." Sue said defiantly. Professor Birch turned to Winter. The girl eyed the three pokemon longingly. Professor Birch looked at his watch.
"Goodness! It is almost 8 o'clock!" He looked at Winter again. "Ah! You're one of the new trainers! Well, choose your Pokemon!" Birch said as he gathered them all to the front door and into the lab on the table again. Winter was so excited. May and Drew watched happily. Drew wrapped his arm around May. Winter smiled at Drew and stared at the Pokemon
"I'll take the..." She stopped and watched as the Torchick glared at her along with Mudkip. They all looked at her. The only one who didn't glare was the Treecko. It actually wanted to go with her. "I choose Treecko!" She declared and sighed as the grass type looked at her happily.
"Well! It is decided! You now have a Treecko to start out with!" Professor Birch declared and handed her its Pokeball. The red and white ball opened and took in the Pokemon. Winter hugged it to her. May nodded and handed her a pink looking device.
"This is your Pokedex. Use it to record data and look up information on a Pokemon you don't know." May handed it to her. While Drew grabbed something from another table.
"Here, these are your Pokeballs. You use them to catch your Pokemon." The green haired boy handed her the balls. As the transition began a rumbling shook the ground. Everyone looked up. A suction cup device sucked up the two starer pokemon. Along with them, flew one of May's pokeballs she was going to throw. A team of men in black uniforms jumped down. "Team Rocket's back?!" Drew shouted over the yelling. Confusion struck the young adults and Professor.
"Who is Team Rocket?" Winter asked frightened.
"A team of theives that steal Pokemon from trainers!" May explained.
Winter had a desicion to make. "Treecko! I choose you!" She yelled and pointed to the soldiers. "Take out Team Rocket!" She commanded. The grass type looked nervous. "You can do it!!" The girl again commanded her Pokemon. The Treecko glared at the team of theives. It jumped up into the air and came crashing down into them.
"It'll get hurt!" Winter's mother cried out fearfully.
"Treecko! Use your pound attack!" Winter commanded. The small green pokemon attacked Team Rocket only to be captured in a net. "How did that happen?" Winter asked afraid. None of them could answer except May.
"These thevies are the masters in using nets!" She smiled in a cocky way. "Blaziken use your sky uppercut!" May shouted out as the huge fire/fighting type appeared. The net was slashed in half and Treecko landed in Winter's arms. May smiled and patted Blaziken on the back. "Now for the finishing move! Use flamethower!" She shouted again. The Team Rocket soldiers retreated quickly as their transportation was blown up.
"Now that's a Pokemon with great skill!" Professor Birch smiled. He remembered when it was just a nervous little Torchick.
"Treecko will grow into a strong pokemon! Maybe even stronger than your Blaziken, May!" Winter said anxiously to start training her new Pokemon.
May didn't answer but only shook her head. Soon it was time for Drew and May to leave again. Everyone bid farewell and soon the two left. Treecko stared with a jealous expression on his face. It wanted to leave too, but it was stuck here with Winter for now.
"Come on let's go!" Treecko heard a voice. He turned to see the Mudkip leaving with a boy. The mudkip seemed happy as they hit the road. Treecko glanced at his trainer absently bent over a bag putting things into it. "Ahhh!" The boy tripped over Winter. Treecko gave a sly grin to his trainer.
"Sorry! Sorry..." Winter said as she helped him up.
"That's okay...really..." He said as Mudkip jumped in front of Winter growling.
Treecko jumped between the Pokemon and human. "Don't or else!" Treecko said glaring.
"My name's Rymond-Rymond Hope." Rymond extended his hand.
"Winter. Winter Rose pleased to meet you." She extended her hand and both of them shook hands.
Mudkip and Treecko watched wearily and exchanged glances, soon the tension easied between the two pokemon.
Rymond and Winter talked for some while before hitting the road. "I know it is sort of weird but would you know anything about Mudkip?" Rymond asked.
"Sure. A lot actually..." Winter began and got a closer look at his Pokemon. "Its a little nervous but truthful and loyal. It really wants to be your friend." She finished and Rymond nodded.
"At least you can understand it. I've studied it over and over again but couldn't figure anything out of how this one felt."
"I know what you mean." Winter glanced at Treecko staring at the sky.
"Well I better get going!" Rymond exclaimed suddenly and grabbed his bag. Soon he was dot on the road. Winter smiled as he left.
"We better head out too!" Winter exclaimed.
Treecko for one moment actually looked grateful as she returned him to his Pokeball and hooked it on her belt. As the sun set, she told her mom goodbye and started out looking back at Professor Birch's lab while another boy appeared and claimed the Torchick. "Don't worry, we'll be better than Raymond and that guy!" Winter said and they hit the road out of Littleroot heading for Ordale Town.
Trainers were just outside of Ordale, the kids around Littleroot were only searching for wild pokemon with no others to battle with.
"Guess we're in for a few battles. Huh Treecko?" Winter Rose asked as she released the grass type. It eyed the tall grass and ran into it almost disappearing under it.
"Hey! Get back here!" Winter called as she walked in searching farther in to it.
Treecko appeared a foot away with something facing it. The Pokemon was mixed with gray fur and black fur around its face. Winter wasted no time and pulled out her Pokedex. The description was helpful as she watched it charge at Treecko. "Dodge it! Use your pound attack!" The tail hit the dark Pokemon and sent it crashing to the ground.
"Now is a good time to catch it!" Winter said as she pulled out a Pokeball. "Pokeball, go catch it!" Winter called out as it incased the dog looking Pokemon. Soon the ball stayed still and a faint click could be heard. "Alright! I caught it! I'll name you Blackie!" Winter stated happily like a small kid who just got a bag full of candy.
Treecko shrugged and faintly smiled. We can make it work... He decided and returned to his Pokeball along with Blackie.
"This marks the start of a brand new adventure!" Winter Rose said and continued walking to the next town.
