Tournament of the Stars

Disclaimer: Do not own Pokemon or anything else that seems similar to other movies, books, animes etc (I get inspiration from everywhere)

Chapter 1: Beginnings

The Arcanine broke over the crest of Star Valley. It was huge valley in the shape of a star.

"So this is it," the boy on the back of Arcanine looked over the valley, "this is where it is going to take place."

The Arcanine nodded his head looking over the valley as well.

"So how many do you think will show up for this Vulcan?" the boy held up a flyer, "if you win you get any wish."

Vulcan turned his head and nuzzled the boy.

The boy smiled, "Its been ten years since we set out from home..."

Andy stood on the roof of the orphanage looking over the island resort that was Seafoam Island. He was going to get to go see Blaine again today. The ten year old with dark brown hair and eyes took a deep breath of the fresh sea air.

"Andy," called one of the nuns that worked at the orphanage, "it is time for you to head to Cinnibar Island to go see Blaine."

"Okay Sister Alana," Andy climbed back inside and headed down to the main floor. Andy smiled when he saw the pretty lady Sister.

"Ready to go Andy?" Sister Alana smiled to the boy who has spent his entire life here.

"Yep," Andy grabbed her hand and led her out the door.

Blaine was the nearby gym leader of Cinnibar Island, when the Orphanage took a field trip to his gym one day he took a shining to Andy and spent many years training him in the art of Pokemon.

"Andy my boy," Blaine smiled he had his wig and glasses on.

"Hi Blaine your in disguise again," Andy gave a sly smile.

"Well you can always see right through me," Blaine smirked as he produced a pokeball from inside his jacket, "so you turned 10 this last year."

"Well yea I might of," Andy was looking at the pokeball intently.

"Well as it were when your turn 10 your suppose to go on adventures with Pokemon," Blaine gave another sly smile.

"Yea but I am just an orphan," Andy shrugged he was getting super excited right now.

"True but you have a gym leader looking out for you," Blaine smiled, "your remember when my Arcanine had a baby."

"Of course I love that puppy," Andy smiled brightly.

"Yep this I know and that is why I am giving you him as your first Pokemon," Blaine handed the pokeball to young boy, "I want you to go out there and have a journey of your own, who knows you might find some answers that you have been looking for."

Andy took the Pokeball and released it, sure enough out of the ball came the black and silver Growlithe.

"Are you serious?" Andy knelt down and was scratching the Growlithe.

"Yep, there is a fairy that will take you to Pallet Town there you will meet Professor Oak he will help you get started on your journey," Blaine smiled at his little protege, "so now that he is yours are you going to nickname him?"

"Yep Vulcan," Andy smiled, "God of Fire."

"Good name," Blaine nodded, "especially since he was born in a Volcano."

Andy nodded, "Sister Alana look at this my very own Pokemon!"

Sister Alana smiled at him, "The Sisters and I have put together a basic traveling bag for you so go and have your adventure."

Andy nodded as he took the bag from her happily, "Thank you and will you tell the other sisters I will miss them."

Sister Alana nodded, "Of course have a safe journey don't forget us at the orphanage."

Andy shook his head, "Never in a million years."

Sister Alana nodded and hugged the boy.

Soon later Andy was on the fairy heading for Pallet Town.

Andy smiled as he sat on top of Vulcan, "Wow that seemed so long ago."

Vulcan nodded his head as he started walking down the path that led to Star Valley.

"This place is pretty Gaia would love it," Andy looked around at the plants that were around.

Pallet town was a small quaint little town a lot smaller then Cinnabar Island which was mostly tourism anymore much to the irk of Blaine.

Andy was walking through the town with Vulcan walking next to him many people were looking at how strange the Growlithe looked with black fur and silver strips instead of a the normal orange and black.

"Their that must be it the big building on the hill, that must be Professor Oaks," Andy pointed so Vulcan would see.

Soon he found himself at the door and knocked on it. A elderly man with a white lab coat answered.

"Excuse me are you Professor Oak?" Andy looked up at the man.

"Yes I am," Professor Oak looked down and didn't recognize the boy he wasn't from Pallet Town, "who are you?"

"My name is Andy, Blaine the gym leader of Cinnibar Island sent me," Andy smiled brightly.

"Oh so you are his little protege, come in," Professor Oak stood aside to let the boy come in.

"Thank you sir," Andy walked in he had never been to any lab other then Blaine's it was very much the same.

"Well Blaine tells me you have quite a talent with Pokemon," Professor Oak led him through a bunch of rooms.

"I wouldn't say good but I try my hardest," Andy shrugged as he looked around the place.

Professor Oak chuckled, "Your very humble."

Andy smiled and shrugged.

"Well I have very little for you, just sent out our own group of new trainers yesterday," Professor Oak walked over and grabbed a small hand held computer device, "this is a Pokedex it is a encyclopedia of Pokemon it should help you through your journey."

Andy looked at the computer and started fiddling with it, "You know if you up the power a little bit you would be able to put apps on this thing to help trainers, Blaine showed me one from a long time ago I fiddled with it and was able to get some minor things to work."

Professor Oak chuckled shaking his head, "Your really are Blaine's Protege."

Andy shrugged he walked over to one of the counters and undid the back he messed with a few wires and soon the power was upgraded. He then took out a small microchip he quickly slipped it into the Pokedex and downloaded the information on it.

"There we go all done," Andy took out the microchip and handed it to Professor Oak, "this is the main microchip that is set up with Blaine and my apps that we already developed if you send it to your other Professor friends they can make their own and it will add it to the large marketplace that Blaine developed."

Professor Oak took the chip, "That is very impressive, I may not have any Pokemon left but I do have an egg for you."

"Oh I don't need anything sir," Andy smiled as he slipped the Pokedex in his back pocket.

"I insist," Professor Oak produced a blue and green egg handing it to the boy, "this will become a Bulbasaur it is used for the next group of Pallet starters."

"Thank you sir," Andy took the egg and slipped it into his bag, "the next city is Viridian City right?"

"Yep straight up Route 1," Professor Oak pointed the way.

"Thank you sir," Andy and Vulcan headed towards the route.

Andy ducked under a low branch that was in the path.

"Wonder were this thing is suppose to take place," Andy un-clipped one of his Pokeball's another old time friend he tossed it up.

Out of the ball appeared a beautiful bird Pokemon with a long red and yellow head feather.

"Zephyr," Andy looked at the Pidgeot, "will you see if you can find the place we are suppose to be stying?"

The Pidgeot let out a screech and took off into the air to look around.

Andy and Vulcan were walking through Route 1 it was about noon and they decided to rest for lunch. Andy made sure he got everything ready then the two of them dug into the meal. As they were eating a small brown and white bird crashed down in front of them.

"Well that is unexpected," Andy quickly got out a potion and sprayed it on the Pokemon healing its wounds.

"Now how did you end up like this little one?" Andy didn't have to wait long for a answer out of nowhere dived a flock of Spearrow trying to attack the little Pidgey.

"Guess that answers that," Andy quickly covered the little bird with his body.

"Vulcan bite as they get close," Andy turned to face the Spearrow.

Vulcan growled as black energy surrounded his teeth he chomped any bird that got to close. Soon the group of them decided it was to much work for the little Pidgey. Foiled twice in a row the flock returned to their tree to dwell on it.

"Wow those were some angry birds," Andy quickly checked over Vulcan to make sure everything was alright, "your good bud that was a good fight."

Vulcan barked happily.

"Okay little one I think they will leave you alone now," Andy turned to the little Pidgey.

The Pidgey just flew up and perched on his shoulder.

"Your rather come with us to get away from the bullies?" Andy asked the bird Pokemon.

The Pidgey nodded its head.

"Alright," Andy unclipped a ball from his belt and tapped it catching the Pidgey. He let it out of the ball as soon as it was done.

"You will be Zephyr after the west wind," Andy smiled.

Zephyr nodded and the group of them continued towards Viridian City.

Zephyr landed on his shoulder once more pointing towards a valley.

"That way huh?" Andy nudged Vulcan in that direction, "suppose it is appropriate that this is called Kanto way."
