Julio's POV

"Look son there it is." My father said pointing out the incoming land from our boat. We had moved from Sinnoh to Kanto because my father had gotten approved to form his own gym here replacing the leader in Viridian city after the old gym leader decided to travel the world. From what I heard he was a legendary trainer 2nd only to Red who hadn't been seen for a while.

"Vee." My best friend said a small dog-like Pokémon with brown fur except for a large cream colored furry color around her neck and the tip of her bushy tail. She had long pointed ears, brown eyes and small brown nose. This is my Eevee a gift from my father when I turned 16 a year ago. I had given her the nickname of Hikari because after an event in my life I'd rather not talk about, she had been my light in the world always cheering me up.

"Yeah it is a pretty big region girl." I said. Just in case you're wondering, no I can't speak Pokémon I can just understand what Hikari's trying to say from me being close to her.

"Yawn…are we here?" A voice yawned my little sister Satori. She was only 14 yet she was only a couple inches shorter then me standing around 5'5. She had lightly tanned skin and long pink hair that went to her waist always shining from care, bright green eyes that seemed to be innocent but don't let it fool you she's pretty dang vicious. She was wearing a plain white t-shirt under a blue jacket and a gold necklace around her neck along with black shorts that went a bit past the knee and blue and black running shoes. walking alongside her was her Piplup nicknamed Hokori due to his intense pride.

The little guy is a light blue penguin a white face and a sort yellow beak that hurt like crazy if pecked, believe me I know, he had dark blue feathers that went down it's back like a cape and small white ovals like buttons on his chest.

"Yes, sweetheart we're here so make sure your bags are ready." My father said. He was a good 6'1 with muscles from his training with ground types but he was a big softie but don't tell him I said that. He had black hair slightly spiked and bright green eyes that were warm all the time with tanned skin from work in the sun. He was wearing a brown collared shirt and black pants with dirt on them but instead of filthy looing it worked well with his style, he also wore dirty work boots and a watch on his wrist.

"Good I'm tired of this sea air." Satori said heading to our cabin. I rolled my eyes, she was always stuck up even more so since she beat me in a battle before we came here. Despite us being related you wouldn't tell from first looks because I took after my Mom's dad with spiky hair like a palm tree that was jet black and red eyes that according to my sister were always cold yet reassuring like our Mom's. I wore a black jacket with a red t-shirt with a picture of the world-famous trainer Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu. I wore black jeans and red and black sneakers and round my wrist my poketech which was black and red. Oh and to be clear my mom was already in the region staying with my grandparents since she had gone ahead to get the house ready when we got here and spend time with our grandparents.

"Looks like I'll begin to start my journey soon, huh dad?" I asked my dad who nodded. I hadn't started ye because the age limit had been changed to 16 to go on a journey instead of 10 since it was decided to be too dangerous for kids to go unsupervised though it was decided it was possible for a trainer above 13 to go on a journey given they travel with someone old enough to go by themselves and that whole dark time in my life prevented me from going when I turned 16 plus we had been planning to move for a while so I figured it would be a good idea to wait.

"Yep and I can't wait to battle you son." He replied grinning though I knew he'd be the last one I would face to get the badge having seen him battle with his Pokémon before and he was declared the 8th gym leader by his approval letter.

"Hey, don't forget I'm going to be traveling with you!" My sister said having returned a bit ago. Yeah it was decided that she would accompany me so long as she listened to me and not get into trouble.

"How can I with you constantly reminding me." I said annoyed at her constant reminders.

"Now, now no need to fight or do I need to delay your trip to Professor Oak's lab to get your pokedex." My dad said sternly to us since he knew we couldn't travel without one.

"Fine." We groaned in unison before shooting each other a glare.

"Attention passengers this is your captain speaking, we have reached land please gather your things and disembark. We will not be held accountable for anything left behind." The captain said over an intercom.

"Alright kids let's go your mom will kill us if we're late." My dad said as we walked towards our room for our luggage.

"Come on Hikari." I said to my Eevee. She let out a small "vee" before walking along side me too our cabin.

AN: hey guys I know it's short but it is just a prologue after all. I plan to make the next one longer plus we het introduced to Julio's rival and traveling companion, apart from his sister, for the story. Also I know an Eevee starter isn't all that original but it's one of my favorite and it has a lot of diversity about what it could evolve to but I already know what I'm gonna evolve her to. And yes, Julio at some point will meet Red and Ash but not till the end of his first journey for one of them and the other I'm not sure.

Also, if you want to leave an OC I will not be opposed to it but leave a detailed description of them including team members, move sets, strategies, backstory big or small, and personality. I will not allow legendries and no relation to anime or manga characters like sister to Ash or 2nd son of Giovanni.

Please leave a review with your thoughts comments and ideas for this story and predictions for team members for not just Julio but Satori as well since she will play a huge role in this story. Hold back on criticism till I get more into this story please.
