The Journey of Johto
Chapter 1
In New Bark Town in the Johto Region, a young boy is watching the TV with his father and his Pokemon. The Pokemon is a Typhlosion, and it is a male and he is relaxing on the floor. They are watching the TV, of the Kanto League they recorded.
"There, he is about to tell his Lapras to use the powerful ice type attack," said the father.
They are watching a battle of the final round in the Kanto League; it was Lapras versus a Hitmontop. Fighting types has advantage over ice types, but Lapras's trainer isn't even bothered by that. In fact, the trainer told Lapras to use sheer cold. And that attack stops Hitmontop in its tracks, and that trainer wins the league.
The person name Mr. Goodshow hands the Kanto Trophy to the winner, and said, "Congratulations Josephiroth, you are the winner of the Kanto League."
"Thank you Mr. Goodshow, but this reward should be better deserved to my Pokemon," said Josephiroth, and than Lapras rubs her head against him. The only thing that people are surprised of Lapras is that it is two feet taller than a regular size Lapras.
Mr. Goodshow said, "So Josephiroth, do you have any word to say for the viewers?"
Josephiroth nodded, and said, "All trainers of near and far, who ever seeks to challenge me to a battle. We will meet, and all of you train in your best ways."
"Oh I really want to face him, it will be a great battle," said the boy, sounded excited. The boy is about four feet and four inches, and he has brown hair.
"Jayden, first you need your first Pokemon. And to train your best," said his father.
"Yeah I know, but I really want to face him. Have you ever got the feeling of battling such a great opponent?" Jayden asks his father.
"Oh I do my son," said Jayden's father.
"Typhlosion," said his Typhlosion, agreeing.
Than the mother came in, and said, "First Jayden, you need to go to bed. It is time, and remembers. Tomorrow is the day you get your first Pokemon at Professor Elm's Lab." The new trainers who start on there journeys on there tenth birthday, thus is their very special days.
"Yeah I know," Jayden said, standing up and looks excited. He wore a white t-shirt and blue pants.
"So son, what Pokemon do you plan of picking?" His father asks him.
"I don't know, you'll just have to wait and see," said Jayden, he has no idea of which one to choose.
"Well you best go to bed first, and tomorrow morning. You'll get your first Pokemon," said his father.
"Yeah, goodnight mom and dad," Jayden said, as he walks off and goes up the stairs.
The parents saw him go, and the father said, "I wander if he will pick a Cyndaquil like me when I started."
"Typhlosion," said his Pokemon.
The mother lightly laughs, and said, "I have a feeling he will pick the one that could beat your Typhlosion."
"We'll just have to wait and see," said the father. And so tonight, they all went to bed.
The next day; at Professor Elm's lab... Elm has gotten an unexpected visit from a friend, and they are having a morning tea. Elm asks, "So, will you be entering the Johto League as well?"
"Yes I am, I and my Pokemon," said the person. He has yellow hair, black jeans and black bike gloves and boots. He wore a vest with three colors, red, black, and yellow.
Just than, three starters Pokemon came into the room. Elm looks down at them, and said, "Good morning Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile."
"Chikorita," said Chikorita.
"Cyndaquil," said Cyndaquil.
"Totodile," said Totodile.
"Ah yes, good morning to you three," said the person. Than a thought came to his mind, and he said, "How about these three meet my three, go Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr."
The three Pokemon came out, the final evolution forms of the Johto starter Pokemon. But each one is two feet taller than normal size Pokemon.
"Hello Elm," said Meganium, and this surprised the three starters Pokemon.
"Ah Meganium, it is nice to see you again," said Elm.
Typhlosion looks at Cyndaquil, and Feraligatr and Totodile sort of danced. But Feraligatr had to stop, for it is causing a quite a mess with the stomping. Both Meganium and Chikorita made to smells that are different from each other.
"Well Josephiroth, where will you go to for your first gym battle?" Elm asks him.
"Violet City, like all trainers that sometimes go to that gym for their first badge," said Josephiroth. They talked for a while, and soon it was time for Josephiroth to go on. He calls back his Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr back into their ultra balls. He said, "Well, I believe it is time for me to go. Don't want new trainers wanting a battle too soon."
"Yeah, two trainers are coming here today to pick there first Pokemon," said Elm. "I have a feeling after what you said after winning the Kanto League, a lot of trainers will want to face you."
"I had feeling of that as well," said Josephiroth. He headed to the door, opens and walks through. He said, "Well I best get going, see you some other time."
"See you again Joe, and take care," Elm said, waving him off as Josephiroth walks off.
A few minutes later, Jayden left home. He ran straight to Professor's lab, and running fast. He wore a white t-shirt with a black and green jacket, with the same colors of his pants. He wears black sneakers and black bike gloves.
He ran straight to the lab, as soon as he came to the door he knocks. Elm opens the door, and looks down at Jayden. "Hello, are you here to get your first Pokemon?" Elm asks him.
"Yeah, I can't wait to start my journey with my new friend," said Jayden. "My name is Jayden, nice to meet you."
"I can see, well hello to you too. Come right in," said Elm, and he let's Jayden into the building. He brought him into the room, and there are three poke balls on the table. Elm walks up to the table, and picks up one of the poke balls. He said, "Here are your choices for your first Pokemon. This is Chikorita," and he throws the poke ball, and a Chikorita came out. It is about two feet and eleven inches tall, light green body with a green leaf on its head. It walks on four legs, and a cute face.
Chikorita looks up at Jayden, and said, "Chikorita."
"That is a grass type, isn't it?" Jayden asks.
"Yes it is," Elm said, and places the poke ball down and picks up the other one. "This is Cyndaquil," he throws the poke ball and a fire mouse Pokemon came out. Cyndaquil stood about one foot and eight inches tall, walks on four legs and fire coming out of its back.
"That is obviously a fire type, my father's first Pokemon was a Cyndaquil," said Jayden.
"Ah, that is interesting," Elm said, he placed the poke ball down and picks up the other. "And this is Totodile," he said and he throws the poke ball. Out came out is a blue two footed big jaw Pokemon, stands about two feet tall. It happily dances, and looks up at Jayden.
"That must be a water type," Jayden said.
"Correct," Elm said, and he placed the last poke ball on the table. He looks at Jayden, and said, "So Jayden, which one will you choose now?"
"Hmm," said Jayden, trying to decide of which one to pick. He leans down, and takes a closer look at the three. Just then, Cyndaquil used ember on him. Surprising them both and Jayden fell on his back.
"Oops, sorry about that," said Elm. "Cyndaquil is sometimes shy, and getting close to it and it will use ember on yah."
"Wish you told me that sooner," said Jayden, as he sat up and rubs his face. "Well I don't think I will pick that one anyways," said Jayden. His face still hurts from the burn…
Totodile uses water gun, and hits his face. Wetting his hair, and cooling those burns. He looks at Totodile, and said, "Thanks for that Totodile." Totodile dances and this made Jayden happy to see.
Jayden decided, and he said, "I think I pick Totodile." Just then, Totodile leaps up on him. Giving him a hug and he hug back.
Elm said, "That Totodile, always happy to make new friends. I think you and Totodile will do well together."
"Totodile," said Totodile, with much excitement.
Jayden smiles, and asks, "Totodile, are you ready to come with me on my journey? To become the best of the best..." Totodile smiled, and nodded.
"Alright," Jayden said, holding Totodile up high. Totodile kept saying toto over, so happy to meet his new trainer.
Elm picks up the poke ball, and handed it to Jayden. "Here, this is Totodile's poke ball. You'll need it," Elm said, and Jayden took Totodile's poke ball. Totodile is on Jayden's left shoulder, holding on with ease. Jayden puts the poke ball into his pocket. Than Elm pulls out a few things from his pocket, and holds them to him. "You also need poke balls and a Pokedex," and Jayden takes them.
He puts the other poke balls into the other pocket, and looks at his red Pokedex. He asks, "What is this for?"
"A Pokedex is used to help you learn information on Pokemon you meet," said Elm, and this made Jayden happy. "Try it, point it at Totodile. And it will tell you the information," said Elm.
Jayden did so, and than the Pokedex said, "Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokemon. Prone to bite anything with its strong jaws, even Totodile's trainer must be very careful when handling it."
"Oh, but Totodile doesn't seem to bite," said Jayden, and he puts the Pokedex into his pocket. Than gives a scratch under Totodile's jaw with his right hand, and this made Totodile smile.
"Well Totodile here doesn't bite much, it likes to play around though," said Elm. Than he puts the two remaining Pokemon back into their poke balls, and left them on the table. He than walks over to the door, and Jayden followed behind.
As Elm opens the door, they see a crowd outside. When both Jayden and Elm came out, they saw two people with a Typhlosion in the middle. When they saw Jayden, they cheered. Elm said, "I see a lot of people have come to see you off."
"Totodile," said Totodile, still on Jayden's shoulder.
"Jayden, over here," said Jayden's mother, and Jayden and Elm walks over to them.
"Ah, a Totodile... So you chose a water type," said Jayden's father. Than he went and rubs Totodile's head, but than Totodile bites on his hand. He yells, and Totodile let's go.
"Sorry about that, but it seems Totodile doesn't like someone other than me or young kids rubbing his head," said Elm.
"It is really my fault, I know that Totodile's do that sometimes," said Jayden's father, and Typhlosion laughs a bit. "Oh come on Typhlosion, as I recall. You got bitten by a Totodile too." Than Typhlosion stops laughing, and looks to its right and feels a bit embarrass.
The mother holds a black and green backpack, and said, "Here is all you need for your journey."
"Thanks mom," Jayden said and went to grab his backpack.
She gave it to him, and said, "It holds your sleeping bag, clothing, Pokemon food for Totodile, and some food for you in case you get hungry."
Jayden puts the backpack on his back, and Totodile rested his feet on the backpack as it holds onto Jayden's shoulder. Than Jayden's father said, "When you return, I would like you to have a Pokemon battle with me."
"Alright dad, right after I beat Josephiroth," Jayden said with excitement.
"Ah, so your aim is also to beat Josephiroth," Elm said.
"Yeah," said Jayden.
"Well Josephiroth was here an hour ago," said Elm, and this made Jayden and everyone else surprised. The Kanto League Winner was here an hour ago, and now no longer in town. "Josephiroth is also participating in the Johto league and contests," he continued.
"Do you know which way he is going?" Jayden asks.
"He is going to Violet City, where the Violet Gym is," Elm said. "I don't think you'll catch up to him though, since what he can do. He'll be of no doubt facing him right this second."
"Because he is also a God," Jayden's father said. "He can pretty much do anything he wants to do, and he chose to partner up with his Pokemon and travel around. Well son, I know that one day. You'll defeat Josephiroth, and I would like to face you myself when you do."
"Sure dad," said Jayden, and he begins walking west. As the crowd, his parents, and Elm cheers on him and waves him off. "Good bye everyone," Jayden said, and Totodile said good bye as well. And soon they have left New Bark Town, and on the journey in Johto.
