Pokemon Story 1: The Adventure of Red, Chapter 1

The First Pokemon

Well, here I am in Pallet Town, waiting for Professor Oak to show up, he's so damn slow. Next to me, is my annoying rival Blue, also trying to get his Pokemon. He always tries to be better than me, ever since we were three years old. Now that we're ten years old and legally old enough to get our first Pokemon, we went to Professor Oak's lab, but his assistant just said that he went to go capture some Pokemon for some random experiment and hasn't come back yet.

"You know Red, I'm about to leave, the old man hasn't come back yet and I'm getting bored, I'm going home, smell ya' later." With that he left, but he wasn't gonna leave without me, "Hey Blue wait up!" I shouted at him. He turned around and asked, "What do you want?" An idea came to me, "Let's go to Route 1, and see if we can find some Pokemon, just to look at them, nothing else, maybe it'll brighten the mood." He turned to me and said, "Sure why not, it's better than anything else right now." So that's how we left for Route 1.

"You know, this is getting to be boring. Red, If we don't see anything interesting, I'm going to go home," he mumbled. His complaining was seriously starting to piss me off. I feel like hitting him, but I don't wanna fight him now. We only saw some Pidgey and Rattata and I had to admit, it was getting very boring, but I didn't complain. Blue was just being annoying. Just when we were about to turn around and go home, we heard the scream of a person. It sounded very frightening. "Blue, you heard that right, you know which direction it came from?" I asked him. "Yeah, I do, it came from the right, let's go." With that I followed him toward the scream. The person screamed again, this time with more scariness in it, whoever this person is, they are seriously in danger. We ran and found the person who was shouting.

"Yo Grandpa, what the heck are you doing up that tree? I've been waiting for my Pokemon for like three hours." Blue said angrily. So it turned out that the person screaming was Professor Oak. I can see why he was screaming, there were about twenty Rattata surrounding a tree, looking angrily at him, with murderous intent in their eyes. I said to him, "Hey Professor, what happened? Why are you up that tree?" He looked at me, his eyes very fearful, "Red, Blue, thank goodness you guys are here. I was studying the Pokemon in the environment, when by accident, one of my berries hit a Rattata and next thing I knew, I was being swarmed by tons of them. I climbed up this tree to escape them attacking me, I dropped my bag with you guys' Pokemon in there. This may seem like a very difficult and daunting task, but I need you two to defeat the Rattata so I can get down, can you do it, cause if you can't then call for help." Blue and I looked at each other and smiled, finally something interesting happening to us.

We both nodded yes and took the bag. We made a huge mistake though, the sudden movement turned the Rattata to us, their fangs bared, they looked at us hatefully. "Crap, Blue, we screwed up, get a Pokeball fast!" I rushed him. He finally took his out, and I got mine. The Rattata charged, we got ready and shouted, "GO POKEBALL!!" The Pokeballs landed on the ground and opened. A bright light surrounded us and as soon as we got our vision back, we saw our very first Pokemon. We were both so happy, but it wasn't the time to celebrate, the Rattata were blinded by the light, but only for a few seconds. Professor Oak told us about the Pokemon we had. "Red, you have the Electric Mouse Pokemon, Pikachu. The attacks it has right now are Thundershock and Quick Attack. Blue, you have the Evolution Pokemon, Eevee, the attacks it has are Tackle and Quick Attack. I'm sure you boys have watched Pokemon Battles on television, so you know what those moves do, so use them NOW!!"

We were so nervous and happy at the same time, our first Pokemon Battle. I did the first move, "Pikachu, use Thundershock on those Rattata." The Pikachu listened and used the move. A small blast of thunder energy struck those Rattata, they got shocked and were weakened, but they didn't faint. It was Blue's turn, he shouted, "Eevee, use Tackle on that Rattata." The Eevee charged its body to a Rattata in the group, the Rattata flew back into a tree and fell the ground. It stood back up but it was almost done for. Professor Oak slid down because the Rattata were distracted by my Pikachu and Blue's Eevee. The Rattata charged at us, Blue and I looked at each other, we were thinking the same thing. I said it first, "Double Quick Attack?" He nodded his head, "Double Quick Attack." I said, "Pikachu," and Blue said, "Eevee," then we shouted in unison, "USE QUICK ATTACK!" Pikachu and Eevee disappeared, and a split second later, Rattata were falling everywhere, all of them fainting. Soon, after all the Rattata fell, our Pokemon came into view. They smiled, and Pikachu said, "Pika!" Eevee said, "Eeeeeee." We ran up to our new Pokemon, I hugged my Pikachu and Blue patted his Eevee on the head. Professor Oak went to us and congratulated us, "Hey, you two did a spectacular job, congratulations! Now let's head back to my lab so we can give you your Pokedexes and your Pokeballs. After that you can get started on your journey." I looked at Blue and said, "Hey, once we have our Pokemon healed, let's have a battle, I bet I'll beat you." He smiled and denied it, "There's no way your defeating me Red, I'll pawn you to the ground." With that we raced back to Pallet Town. To begin our adventure, to begin our ultimate rivalry, to begin the longest journey ever.
