A young boy rolled over in his bed, squishing the small bunny pokemon beside him. The boy, unaware of the squirming pokemon, carried on snoring loudly, a slight grin on his face, he swung his arms stupidly and muttered something.
Finally, with an all might effort, the rabbit pokemon managed to shove the boy's arm off, and stand up. It was no taller than 1' 01", and had long brown ears, with tufts of cotton like material at the end. It had small black eyes, and a tiny pink mouth. Its small brown arms were nested on its cotton thighs, and a look of annoyance was spread across its cute face.
It narrowed its eyes, and bent its legs a little before springing up in the air, and landing with a muffled thud on the boys face.
The boy's eyes snapped open immediately, and his cried of shock were muffled by the pokemon who was still sitting on his head, a look of triumph on its face. The boy grabbed it around its small waist, and set it down on the bedside cabinet. He heaved himself onto his elbows, and caught his breath with a wide awake expression on his face. He turned to the bunny pokemon, and with a slight smile cuffed it lightly on the ear.
"What was that for Buneary?" he said jokingly.
The boy had found Buneary almost a year ago, when he was on his way back from school. He was walking past a large bush, and could hear a slight squeaking noise. He decided to investigate, and found the poor little pokemon curled into a ball, with scratches all over it. He had scooped it up into his arms, and ran into Proffesor Nanakamondo's Lab. The Proffesor quickly dealt with its wounds, and the boy was extremely surprised when he had said he could keep it. Since then him and Buneary had become the best of friends.
Buneary smiled a little, and hopped over to the boy's dresser, and pulled open a drawer, chucking some underwear and clean socks onto the bed.
"Cheers" the boy said, grabbing a blue t-shirt and some dark blue shorts from another drawer, and quickly changed.
The boy stopped in front of the big long wall mirror, and ran his fingers through his short brown hair so it looked windswept and slightly messy. He called to Buneary, and the two bounded down the stairs, excitement clear on there faces.
"Hey mom" he said cheerily, entering the big wide kitchen, and sitting down at the big wide table. Buneary hopped onto the table, and gave a small squeak to say hello to the woman now approaching the two, holding a bowl of pokemon food, and a plate of eggs and bacon.
"They're you go Ethan. Now eat up, you can't set off without a good meal" his Mom said, brushing her brown hair out of her green eyes, and observing him. He gave a small nod to say thank you, as did Buneary, and they ate quickly.
Ethan placed his knife and fork down, leaned back and stretched. His mother collected his plate and Buneary's bowl, and dropped them in the sink.
A small girl, a bit younger than Ethan entered the kitchen, still in her pajamas, but wide awake and carrying a green back pack. She smiled up at Ethan, and passed it to him.
"Thanks Jenny" he said to his sister.
He turned to his mom, who had tears swimming in her big eyes. He smiled up at her, and gave her a hug. She squeezed him tightly, and pushed him to arms length, with a sad but proud look upon her face.
"You make sure you ring me as often as you can yes? And remember to stay safe. And of course, good luck in the gyms. You'll do brilliant, just like your father. He'd be so proud of you." she said, kissing him on the cheek.
He felt a squeeze around his waist, and looked down to see Jenny. He ruffled her hair playfully, and bent down to kiss her.
"Don't worry kiddo, In a year you'll be setting on your own journey. And i promise we'll have a battle, you can show me what you can do" he said kindly, and stood up.
Jenny and Ethan's mom walked with Buneary and Ethan to the door, and waved to him as he turned the corner, into Twinleaf Town.
A tall building came into sight almost immediately, with a domed top. The lab. Ethan's stomach done a flip. "Today's the day huh Buneary?" Ethan said sounding slightly nervous. Buneary nodded, but seemed to be focusing on staying calm.
A few minuets later they started to climb the steps up to the shining white Lab, stomach's lurching. Ethan pushed open the door, and felt the cooling system take effect, he breathed in lung fulls of air, gratefully. The two turned into a side room, where they spotted a tall man, with dark hair, who was talking to a young man in a lab coat. The man finished talking, and turned around, spotting Ethan and Buneary. He waved cheerfully, and gestured them to come over to him.
"Hey Proffesor Nanakamondo" Ethan said. The Proffesor inclined his head in greeting, and walked around to a table, and pulled out a Pokedex and Pokeballs.
"Here you are. A Pokedex, a digital encyclopedia of all Pokemon. It also serves as a Pokemon Trainer Liescence, so please, don't lose it. And Pokeballs. They're used for catching Pokemon. Buneary doesn't like them does he?" The Proffesor asked.
"Nope. I don't know why, but he prefers staying out. Thanks Proffesor" Ethan replied, taking the Pokeballs and slipping them into his bag pocket, and carefully sliding the Pokedex into his shorts pocket. "Well, I'd stay around and talk, but I've got a lot to do Ethan. Good luck, and phone me if you need anything" he said, and walked with Ethan to the door, waving him off as his Mother had.
Ethan and Buneary reached the opening to the woods leading to Sandgem Town, and turned to look at the rooftops of Twinleaf Town. There was a moments silence. "I'm really gonna' miss this place. But we've got an adventure to start, so lets get going!" Ethan said happily. Buneary nodded in agreement and they began to enter the woods.
They walked slowly, observing the wild pokemon, and talking excitedly about there first gym battles and the pokemon that would become part of the team. A sudden rustling in a nearby bush cut them both off, and drew there attention. Another rustle. Suddenly, a small, leaf covered pokemon leaped out of the bush. It was a little smaller than Buneary, and had a small black hook type branch on its small head, and a small face poked above the leaves covering its body. It looked up at Ethan and Buneary with a look of curiosity.
"Wow! Buneary! Lets catch it!" Ethan said enthusiastically. Buneary nodded, and hopped in front of him, in a battle stance. "Buneary! Use -" But another shout cut him off, he turned in the direction of the shout and saw a tall boy, striding towards them.
He had gelled back blonde hair, a small, round face and shining blue eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved red shirt, that stopped by his stomach, covered in a under shirt, and jeans. He waved cheerily. Ethan turned back to the pokemon, and felt a twinge of annoyance as he saw it had ran away.
"Can i help you?" Ethan asked rather shortly. The boy seemed to notice something was wrong because he frowned slightly. "Yeah. Errm, i was wondering whether you'd like a pokemon battle? I'm a new trainer, and need some experience" His voice was very femine and high pitched for a boy.
The twinges of annoyance disappeared at the word 'battle'. "Sure" Ethan replied quickly. Buneary's ears perked up. The boy smiled. "I'm Will. And you are?" he asked, grabbing a Pokeball from inside his jacket.
"The names Ethan. A one on one yeah?" Ethan asked, as Buneary hopped in front of him. Will nodded, and backed away a little so there was a small amount of space between them. Then with a twirl, and flick of his wrist he launched the Pokeball into the air, and stopped twirling.
"Meet Bubbles!" he said.
