Chapter 1

The Other Journey.

Did you ever think, is Red the only trainer that conquered the Kanto journey? Was he everywhere team rocket was? That there had to be other amazingly strong trainers? Then you were correct! This is the story of the unknown Heroes.

It was a cool autumn day as Lance Gemstone woke up he was ten and was about to start his Pokémon journey. He was average height with curly sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes. He had female attention without wanting it a lot and it was mostly because of his toned body and nice smile. Today was his 10th birthday but it was really overshadowed by his journey starting. He lived in a large house in pewter city with his mom, dad and younger sister. Today he was going to get his pokedex and starter Pokémon. He wasn't very interested in any of them but knew he would have to make a choice when the time came. He got dressed and packed his backpack and put on his signature brown jacket. Because of his jacket people often called him brown including his family at times. He went down the stairs and was intercepted by his seven year old crying sister. She was the complete opposite of him as she had brown hair and grayish green eyes. Lance frowned and bent down to his sisters' level. "What's wrong Tiffany?" he asked sincerely. Tiffany looked up at him crying "I'm gonna miss you lance…" she said trough sniffles. Lance smiled and hugged his sister "don't worry I'll call home all the time" he said with a smile. She sniffled and nodded and held his hand as they went to the kitchen to see their mom frying bacon and trying not to look at them. Lance sighed and said "mom?" at that moment his mom broke down and began to cry. Lance quickly caught her and helped her up. "It's ok, we all knew this day was coming.." he said soothingly. She nodded and gave him the biggest hug ever. His mom and he looked exactly alike going to the finest detail. He left his sister with his mom and went to the back yard to say bye to the dozens of Pokémon his mom had since she was a breeder. He said bye to Eevee's and its many evolutions, to the houndours and houndooms, to the poochyena and mightyena, to the gastlys and haunters, rattatas and raticates, mankeys and abras, growlithes and arcanines. Lance then walked to the front of the house to where his dad was in his office; his dad was a Pokémon scientist and was currently working on what the bottom of a diglett looks like. His dad looked up and smiled warmly, he was who his sister got her looks from. "Are you ready?" his dad said in a soft voice. Lance nodded and hugged his dad. Before he left the room his dad stooped him and gave him a pokeball. "I almost forgot, I caught him for you because I know that you didn't like any of the starters Pokémon." He said with a grin. Lance let out the Pokémon and a Sandshrew came out and smiled at lance. Lance hugged his dad as he loved ground and rock types. He picked up the Sandshrew and told him that they were going the strongest partners.

Elliot Ivy woke up from a brutal punch in the chest. His eyes snapped open as he coughed in a desperate attempt to gain back the breath that was stolen from him. As he held his stomach with a wince and was panting he looked up at his large and muscular dad that was staring down at him with a genuine smile. "Rise and shine! Time for you to go on a journey my friend!" his dad said with a large smile. Elli (nickname) managed a smile knowing that his dad didn't mean him any harm. "Thanks papi, I'll get ready in a bit." He said as he yawned quickly getting over the pain. His dad nodded and left the room. Eliot got out of his bed and looked out his window to see the beautiful city of Fuchsia looking right back at him. He smiled warmly and went to the bath room to get freshened up. He was a bit over average with height and was way more muscular then his age should've let on. He had medium length hair that was black with traces of purple going through it. Today was his tenth birthday but he didn't care, all he wanted to do was get ready, say good bye to his dad and hurry to pallet town to get his Bulbasaur. Once he was ready he walked out of his room with his backpack on and went straight to the kitchen to eat some toast and drink some milk with his dad. His mom had died while was giving birth to him so it was just him and his dad who was a martial arts teacher in fuchsia. Before he left he had a wordless hug with his dad and before he walked out of his house he looked back at his dad and said "thanks dad, for everything… you're my hero and I'm going to beat the Pokémon league just for you." His dad nodded fight back tears and Elliot left to start his journey

Sebastian static woke up as light waves pierced through his blinds on his window. He yawned and smiled brightly. Today was not only his birthday but the day he was going to leave Vermillion city to head out on his journey. He quickly got up and started fixing up his bag while brushing his teeth at the same time. He liked to multi task because he believed that life was too short. He was a below average height boy with electric blue and yellow hair. He got dressed quickly and combed his hair and before he left his room he stopped to take a look at himself in the mirror. He couldn't believe it; he was actually going to start his journey today. He dreamt about this day his whole life. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as he walked out of his room and to the kitchen to see his two sisters sitting at the table. They weren't really his sisters; they were an adoptive makeshift family. Jeannette his older "sister" who acted as the mom of the family was only seventeen but was responsible for the family. She looked nothing like him with brown hair and brown eyes. Anybody else would've thought she was completely and utterly beautiful but he just saw her as his sister. Grace his younger sister who was six didn't look like him either. She had red hair and lots of freckles on her face. She was sniffling on Jeanette's knees as she looked at him. He smiled and hugged her warmly and also kissed his older sister on the cheek and said happily "what's for breakfast?" it wasn't until then that he realized that she was crying as well. He smiled and hugged both of them telling them not to worry. After breakfast he hugged them again before he left Jeannette stopped him and gave him a pokeball. "Lt. Surge said he wanted you to have him." Lt. Surge was the gym leader for Vermillion city and was also Sebastian's idol. He had helped Jeannette get a house to live with Sebastian and grace. He wanted to be exactly like Lt. Surge and loved electric Pokémon. When he opened up his pokeball he saw a cute pichu come out. He smiled widely and picked up pichu as he left the house. "Let's start our journey together!" he said as he left.

In Lavender town stood a large gated mansion. In one of the rooms of the mansion a boy lay asleep soundly. A man in a suit walked into his room and gently shook the boy to wake him up. "Yes Johnson, what is it?" The boy asked a tad bit groggily. "Excuse me for waking you up from your slumber sire but I do believe today is the day you go on your Pokémon journey." The man said formally. "And by the way… Happy birthday sire." The man added with a smile. The boy stretched and sat up with a small yawn. He had long white hair and piercing gray eyes. Percival Common was a bit tall and skinny with muscle around the bone. He got out of his double king sized bed and hugged Johnson. "Thank you Johnson. I almost forgot today was my birthday." He said with a smile and went to the bathroom. Johnson took the moment that Percival was in the bathroom to wipe away a tear that he had accumulated. Percival got freshened up with his family's pet, a Zigzagoon. He pets the raccoon Pokémon while he combed his hair. "I'm gonna miss you buddy..." he said to his lifelong friend. The Zigzagoon smiled sadly and cuddled up to his hand. Percival then left his en suit bathroom to his bedroom to see many maids and butlers holding up his backpack, clothes and many gadgets. He puts on his clothes while hugging each maid and butler. He puts his watch and shoes while also hugging maids and butlers. He then gets to Johnson who has his backpack and his signature white scarf. He puts on his backpack and Johnson helps him with his scarf. He hugs Johnson longer than anyone else as he cries a bit. He leaves the room and walks down his stairs to see his dad holding his crying mom in his hands. He moves more swiftly down the stairs and hugs them both tightly. He says his goodbyes and before he leaves his dad stops him. His dad sends him a pokeball and Percival catches it. "It was Johnson's idea" his dad said with a smile. Percival looked up the stairs to see Johnson smiling down at him. Percival opened up the pokeball to see his best friend Zigzagoon pop out and jump up to hug him. Percival grinned and hugged his parents and Johnson one last time. He left the house and got into a carriage pulled by two rapidash heading towards pallet town.
