Sinnoh's newest trainer

Hey my name is Connor and I love fanfics about new trainers and I have read so many. But the biggest killjoy is when a fanfic gets started and abandoned. Well I swear on my future children's lives that I will finish this one. I started it in sinnoh because the first Pokémon game I ever got was Pokémon pearl and I decided it would be best.

First pics:

He knew he wouldn't sleep. Not on the night before what could be the greatest day of his life. Tomorrow is the day that he will receive his first Pokémon. This young boys name is Sorrin Clamon. He lives in Sandgem town in the sinnoh region. He will be choosing between the three starters Chimchar, Turtwig and Piplup. He spent many hours researching these three. His first choice would be Chimchar, the fire monkey and if he couldn't get that it would be Turtwig, the grass turtle. Piplup would be one he dreaded to get. He never liked it.

He was almost certain he would get his first choice. The other two people receiving their starters both lived in twinleaf town. And that was about seven kilometers away. So he was sure he would make it there first get all necessary equipment, and go without seeing them.

Before bed he took three spoonfuls of cold medicine. Not because he was sick but because he needed sleep. His idea worked, sort of, in stead of going to sleep at eight like he hoped he only got to sleep at eleven. He did not dream only slept.

Sorrin's alarm blared. He was so tired he kept sleeping. The second one he set went off ten minutes later. Sorrin got up, Cleaned up, got dressed and went downstairs. His parents were still asleep so he got his breakfast quietly. Munching on a bowl of cereal he looked over a map of the sinnoh region. When he finished he got his backpack and a light jacket. He put on his shoes and left.

He checked his watch. "Ten minutes late" he mumbled. A spark of worry came in his eye. That spark was quickly douched with a bucket of pride. He arrived at the research lab. Most people get their starters from their family or from the Pokémon center. Sorrin is one of the lucky few who get a proper starter from the professor's lab.

He stepped inside and saw some people huddled near a table.

"Excuse me." Sorrin said while walking forward.

The eldest of the group looked up and said "Hello you must be Sorrin."

"That's right. I've come for my starter" He said cheerfully.

"Well its good you came so early, But I'm afraid not early enough." Said one of the two boys who turned around. "I already have mine and Chimchar will win me the sinnoh league"

Sorrin's heart sank. "That's too bad I would have loved a Chimchar"

The other boy spoke in an excited tone "I Chose Turtwig and we will win the grand festival this year."

Sorrin's heart had never been so low. With his favorite two chosen already there was only one left. Piplup. All of his dreams and hopes seemed crushed by what was happening.

The professor picked up the last ball and handed it to him. "Here's Piplup the water type. Treat it well." Warning in his voice made Sorrin feel a small amount of fear. "Now all of you should follow my assistant and he will get you your pokedex"

The three followed this smiling young man to another room. He said nothing when he went to a machine where he pressed a few buttons and typed some stuff on the computer beside it.

While waiting the other two boys released their Pokémon and started to marvel at them. Sorrin then brought out his own Pokémon with great reluctance. The penguin Pokémon looked up at him with huge eyes.

"Hey Piplup, I'm your trainer." He said with some apprehensive excitement. In truth he wasn't excited. This was the biggest day of his life and it's not going his way. All his dreams were cancelled and replaced by this. Nightmare wasn't the word for it. If I could explain what Sorrin was feeling in greater detail I would but since I cant I won't.

Piplup shouted his name and reached up hoping to be picked up. Sorrin was about to liking his affection but was interrupted by the assistant coming back.

"I have your pokedex and your trainer card is registered on it using the information you gave us when you applied for your first Pokémon. I have some poke balls here to get you started and I wish you all the luck in the world." The man said before leading us out.

Outside all of us started to walk our own way when the boy with the Chimchar turned and said "Hey would you like to battle"

"Of course id like to battle" Replied Sorrin. "But I didn't catch your name."

"It's Jake."

"All right then how about we go to the beach it will be wide open at this time"

A touched jakes face. "Ok then. HEY JIMMY GET OVER HERE AND Ref OUR BATTLE!"

The boy with the Turtwig was barely down the road when he stopped, sighed and turned back to the boys.

Jake and Sorrin stood on the beach and looked at each other before calling out their Pokémon. In the excitement of the challenge Sorrin forgot that he only had Piplup and he hesitated before halfheartedly throwing the ball.

The battle begun with Jake. "Chimchar use scratch"

At the end of his paws little claws came out and he scratched Piplup. Piplup took the attack to the face and cried out. Chimchar claws faded.

"Wow do you even understand the point of a battle" exclaimed Jake.

Sorrin looked shocked and quickly yelled back "Yes I do and you will know what I can do. Piplup pound."

Piplup charged Chimchar while his flipper glowed blue and swung at him. The attack barely tapped his head.

"Chimchar, scratch" Jake called out while grinning.

Piplup was hit at point blank range and fell back.

"Chimchar keep using scratch"

Piplup took all of the attacks while Sorrin stood there feeling helpless. When Jake felt Piplup was near its breaking point he called for Chimchar to stop. Piplup then unsteadily got back up.

"Not finishing Piplup there will be your biggest mistake. Piplup growl then pound." Piplup growled unnerving Chimchar a little and then Piplup charged forward.

"Chimchar dodge it and then use ember" Jake said with a smug look on his face.

Chimchar ducked under the pound attack. Then unleashed dozens of tiny bally of fire from its mouth. Piplup staggered back, and then fell.

"Piplup is unable to battle Chimchar wins that means the match goes to Jake of twinleaf town." Called jimmy from the side.

Both trainers called back their Pokémon and Jake started walking away.

"Hey Jake when we battle again ill win." Called Sorrin with a strong determination.

"Then I guess we won't battle for a long time." Jake called without even stopping.

Jimmy came up to him to say some things but Sorrin was lost in his own thoughts and didn't listen. He was terrified of what he was to do on his journey. If he lost like that every time he wouldn't have anything to show for it. On this day he promised to never lose to him again. He walked home to think.

When Sorrin arrived at home his parents still were not up so he immediately walked upstairs. He let Piplup out and he brought out a potion he stole from his mom's workplace. He sprayed Piplup's wounds.

Piplup gave him a big hug and started to cry. Piplup felt terrible about losing and he felt especially bad about losing with a type advantage.

"Its ok Piplup everyone makes mistakes and it wasn't your fault it was mine." Sorrin said reassuringly. He felt love for this Pokémon. His entire feelings about it were changed. "We will train and become strong." Piplup stopped crying and looked at him. Sorrin smiled back and picked up the young penguin. "I think I know what you'll like" he carried it to the bathroom and put him in the tub. He turned on the water and closed the drain. When it was about a quarter ways full of cold water he stopped it and told Piplup to go to sleep.

"Pip" was all it said before dozing off to sleep. Sorrin smiled and sat there on the floor next to the tub until he dozed off himself.

Well this was an emotional chapter for me and I hope it got u going to. Please review I think I'm doing ok but I'm 14 and kind of an idiot. I have the next few chapters planned out so I hope to get to them soon. I want to update every week but I might have school and it might be put off.

Sorrin's team:

Piplup; pound, growl. Ability torrent.
