Laying on my bed, I was watching my favorite TV show, it was called Pokemon spectacular. A show about people competing in multiple game types using their Pokemon. Like a Pokepuff cooking contest, beauty contest, and so many more. But first before things progress, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Amy, age 17, female. I live in Champa's HQ city, Golden City. The region is known for sightseer locations.

Anyways, I watched Pokemon spectacular pretty much at noon everyday. I really enjoyed seeing Pokemon that aren't in Champa. Like Fennekin, Emolga, and Rockruff. There all so cute, I just want them all. But get all that stuff out of the way for now. Now, I was extra excited, reason was because my birthday was coming up. And the reason it made me extra excited was, I was going to get my Pokemon trainer gear. Champa rules were different then other regions. Champa's trainers start at age 18. That caused me to get very annoyed, due to Yuka being age 12. Halso's age is 13, and so on. But I was finally going to be able to catch my own Pokemon's. Maybe even enter Pokemon spectacular and win a trophy one day. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Now let's skip the two painful weeks to my birthday.

I woke up happy that the time as finally come. I jumped out of bed and into my clothes. And pretty much skipping down the stairs, I entered the kitchen. My mother turned back with a smile.

"18 Years old today. Time goes by so fast..." She said.

"And I'm excited to finally get my trainer gear!" I eagerly replied.

"Bet you are. Professor Jake said to meet him at his lab around 10." She said back.

"Will do! Before I do, I'm enjoying these pancakes!" I smiled.

After eating, I quickly rushed into the closet. Quickly grabbing my shoes and bag, I petting Bunnelby's head, telling him it's the day, as he cheered.

Closing the door behind me, I rushed to the labs. When I entered the labs, I was instantly greeted by Jake's helper Tammy.

"Wow, you grew up so fast, haha. I remember when you were just a kid. Anyways, Jake is in the next room. Hope you enjoy." She smiled, pointing towards the room.

I thanked her and walked down the marble hallway. I walked behind Jake and greeted him. He turned around and we hugged.

"Man, it's your big day. Are you ready to pick your Pokemon after waiting so long?" He asked.

"You know it!" I nod my head.

"Okay, so as you know… Champa have slightly different styles then all other regions. And that caused us to switch our starter Pokemon every so often. And again… They're not starter Pokemon all the time. Anyways, are you ready?" He explained then asked again.

I agreed and he took me to six Pokeballs. This region was odd in it's own way. Instead of picking from three, you get six choices. But I didn't mind, it means I'm able to pick from six then three. Jake took all six of them and released them all.

"Pancham, Litten, Eevee, Growlithe, Squirtle, huh…?" I stopped.

The last one stared at the floor, a Riolu. She didn't look cheerful like the others. I looked a little confused and walked up to her. Crouching down, I stared at her. I lifted her head up with my hand, making contact with my eyes. Riolu stared at me with a sadden face. Seeing me doing this, Jake spoke.

"Ah, poor girl. She's the only one who didn't get picked multiple times. About nine times. We're about to release her back into the wild."

Looking back towards Riolu, I was pretty sad. Such a cute Pokemon and no one wants her. I didn't want to crush her further, and she is so cute. So I lightly gripped her paw, making her look at me fully. I gave a warm smile towards her.

"Would you like to come with me?" I asked.

Hearing this, her entire mood lighten instantly. She shook her head happily, jumping into my stomach.

"You two look perfect together. I'm glad Riolu will be getting a home after so long." Jake said.

Jake handed me her Pokeball, then he lead me to a desk. He placed a Pokedex on the desk moments later. Then he quickly took a picture of me, and made my trainer card. Then finally, gave me my badge case.

After getting all I need, Jake wished me luck as I exited the building, Riolu in my arms. After entering my house, I noticed no one was home. Finding a note on the fridge, I read that I'll be home alone until the evening. Placing the note on the counter, I turned towards Riolu who was sitting on the table.

"Well… Guess we're going to be alone for a few hours." I picked her up.

Walking up the stairs and into my room, I sat Riolu on my bed, and grabbed my phone off my desk. Forgot it due to me being in a rush.

Sitting next to Riolu, I texted my mom what I picked then some other friends younger then me. After getting that stuff done, I started to wonder what to do. But something came to mind.

"Huh. I should name Riolu." I thought.

Turning towards Riolu, I asked her. She agreed and I started to wonder.

"Hmm… What is a good name for you… Oh! How about Mystic?" I asked.

"Rio!" She smiled.

"Well then, Mystic it is!" I smiled back.

"Oh, I just remembered something… I have some money I saved up for a few months now. Since I'm an official Pokemon trainer now, I'll need some Pokeballs and the such. Wanna go shopping for supplies?" I asked Mystic.

She agreed and I got ready. Once I got everything, we headed out the door and to the nearby store.

Entering the store, I started to gather needed stuff. Grabbing a few Pokeballs, medical supplies, food for whatever and other random things. And after paying for all my stuff, I decided to walk around for a bit. It was nice out and wanted to spend it outside. So setting out on a small walk, I wanted to show Mystic around.

We walked around, Mystic's arms around my neck. It seemed pretty peaceful. I showed her the major landmarks in golden city. After showing nearly every inch of the city, I let out an exhausted sigh.

"Walking around the biggest city of Champa is really tiring… Want to head back for today?" I asked.

Mystic agreed with a yawn.

My legs were weak from walking all afternoon, and it took a painful half hour just to reach my house again, wishing I would've just took the bus. But walking in, I was greeted by my mother, along with my brother, Luke, who is only sixteen.

"You were gone all day, huh? And this must be your Riolu you messaged me about." She said.

"Hmm hmm. Her name is Mystic." I replied.

"That's a nice name. Well… Nice to meet your Mystic. So trainer, what are you going to do?" She asked.

"I don't know yet… I went and bought some supplies as soon as I got Mystic. I just want to meet all kinds of different Pokemon for now! Get stronger and get a party going on, then I'm going to challenge the gyms of Champa!" I cheered, Mystic joining me.

"That's quite a goal. Work hard, and it will pay off. I never set on a journey of collecting badges when I was younger. But you may go a different path. I'll be cheering you on." She smiled.

"Yep sis. I'm so pumped to challenge the elite four one day!" My brother said.

"One day… Well, I'm going to sleep for tonight. Can barely walk after showing Mystic places..." I said, walking upstairs.

Opening my door, I didn't bother changing into clean non-sweaty clothes, I just slipped out of my shoes and fell onto my bed. As I lay there, Mystic climbed up on my bed and plot down next to my legs. A few moments passed, and I was out...
