Well I hope anyone reading this story likes it. This is my first (officially second) story on Fanfiction, but I put a lot of work into it. So I hope you all like.

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

Felix looked out over the sea. It was around sunset and the water had taken on an orange color. He could see some of the pokémon under the water swimming happily. He could hear the chirps and songs of flying types above him. It was truly a beautiful day.

Felix turned around and looked at the home he was leaving. He was on his way to some new, unknown region. However, even though he was sixteen, he had no pokémon. When he heard about the new region he jumped at the chance to go. He was going by ship because a lot of great adventurers had traveled this way.

He looked back fondly at his birth-town, New Bark. The autumn blaze maples were all fully red and the other trees had leaves with the colors gold, yellow, and orange. He looked back at his mom who was waving good bye, her long black hair shining in the wind and her eyes watered with tears of joy. A lot of the kids in the village were jealous of him because of his mom. And who could blame them, she was that wonderful.

Every one always commented on how they looked so alike. They both had black hair and deep blue eyes. Their whole family had a light build and light brown skin that accented their features perfectly. They were also known for their kindness to both pokémon and people. Their family, while not rich, was a role model to everyone who lived in New Bark and the near by cities.

He waved back to her tears in his eyes. She had supported him through everything, how was he going to make it without her?

"I love you!" He could here his mom calling out to him. He couldn't help but smile. He then turned around and went into his room to get ready for night time.

Felix was in his standard eevee pajamas. The pants were a simple light brown color while the shirt was more like a t-shirt and covered in eevee (eevees? Can't tell which is right.). He was even wearing a night cap with two eevee ears sticking out. He was on the top deck of the ship. He had his reading glasses and his laptop out with him. He was reading under the full moon, his favorite hobby.

"Man, do you ever stop reading?" He turned around to see his best friend, Joey, standing there. His real name was Joseph but who wants to say that?

Joey had on some simple sweat pants and a plain white t-shirt. His hair was brownish-blonde and his eyes were gold. He was kind of short but that didn't stop him from out shining you in just about any sport. He was kind of like the classic athletic bum in the mangas. However he wasn't even near as stupid, the only person out shining him their being Felix. He also didn't like track, probably because Felix always beat him in that too. But other wise, there wasn't anything Joey couldn't naturally do. However Joey's best quality was how it never got to his mind. He was still kind, understanding, and caring. He was, hands down, the best friend possible.

Joey pulled out a chair and a copy of "Pokémon Destiny" (by timoteyo7). They both sat there and read peacefully till they feel asleep.

The next morning Felix woke up and put on his standard outfit he wore in Johto. They comprised of black, silver-lined jeans with a simple silver t-shirt. Over it he wore a small, silver jacket. The moment he was about to leave his room Joey burst in. Joey had on black, gold-trimmed jeans with a gold and black shirt. The shirt was gold but the design, a phoenix, was black. He also had on an over-sized jacket which he would probably take off the moment he left the ship.

"Hey Felix you ready? If you go any slower we'll be late." And with that he was already off.

I sighed before leaving the room and getting off the ship. There waiting, with jacket off of course, was Joey. I was about to ask why even brought it when I saw the place we were at. All the water was beautiful and shining. The grass was evenly cut and green. There was even a cave that seemed to emit some weird aura. But all in all, it was beautiful beyond words. I then looked around at all the people. There were four ships meaning all four of the regions had sent over children

"There has to be at least a thousand of us here!"

"Ya, too bad only about a hundred of us will stay."

"What do you mean Joey?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Come on they're calling us."

When all of us gathered together and quieted down a lady started to speak. She had long brown hair and light green eyes. But her most defining feature was the huge glasses on her face.

"Hello all future trainers, and welcome to the Shinto region." A lot of the people started to clap and cheer. "Now we will start our nice four hour lecture on the history of our region." You could hear the groans of the people and I was probably one of them. "Well, I wish we could but we have more important things to do. Will all the people with no pokémon go to the cave. Those who do stay here, another professor will come get you. Your test awaits."

I could hear people mumbling, "What does she mean?", and other such things. I quickly went to the cave.

The cave was huge! All the rocks were smoothed and polished and the air was fresh. But the most interesting thing was the rock in the middle. It seemed to be the source of power I felt earlier.

"Um professor, how are we going to decide what pokémon we get?"

"Well, all you have to touch the rock. It will send the pattern of your aura to my laptop. I will then give you a pokémon based on it. Now there are a lot of pokémon you can get and just about everything is free game. But remember, there will be no legendary give-a-ways. You all may begin." With that a lot of people started to run up to the rock and place their hands against it.

After waiting about five minutes I got bored so I decided to talk to Joey. But he was too busy jumping up and down in excitement. In fact the only person acting sane here, excluding myself, was the professor. So I decided to walk over to her and talk.

"Um, professor…"

"Please call me Professor Maple."

"Okay, do you want to talk?"

"Bored?"

"Ya." And with that we started our conversation. The word smart did her no justice what so ever. She made me feel dumb, and my average grade was a ninety-five! Every known and then someone would interrupt us to get their pokémon. We talked all about pokémon fan fictions, pokémon, and books. After about twenty minutes Joey came running by crying out "YES!"

After another twenty minutes she started to speak up again. "Felix I believe it is your turn." I looked around to see no one in the cave besides me and her. I grinned a little sheepishly with that comment.

"I sort of forgot."

"It happens. Now go ahead, I really want to see what you will get." I nodded before going to the rock. I took one deep breathe before placing my hand on the rock.

I looked around. Everything was dark, as in no light ANYWHERE.

"Where am I?" I started to walk forward just to bump into a tree. "Ouch." After walking around what seemed like hours, bumping into trees, I came to a clearing. I could tell because the light suddenly came on. This place was, no doubt, weird. Some of the trees resembled spring, others summer, autumn, and winter. There was a lake in the middle with shining, clear water. And above it all was the moon, shining bright and silver. This place was just too beautiful to exist yet I had the feeling that had been here before.

Over the top of the water something was forming. It turned to me as if watching me. The moon then literally turned into a silver heart and went into the thing. It looked at me again before disappearing. Then out of nowhere I felt a cold breeze. I turned around to see a machine staring at me. The machine then dashed at me.

I tried to dodge but before I could move it was in front of me. It had a wicked looking blade in its hand. It swung the blade down but before it got to me a shadow came and stopped it. Then another thing came up this one not being dark but being a shining purple. They both were trying to beat back the machine. Are they pokémon? Then suddenly it knocked them both back. It looked at me again and started to come towards me. Some part of me knew that if this thing got me a lot of bad things would happen. I tried to move but I couldn't. The world was growing darker with each step he took towards me. But when he was still ten steps from me, the world started to shake. I could feel a voice calling for me. There were two voices and they sounded familiar. The machine seemed to know something was happening too, however, so it dashed at me with all it had. But right before it got there I was gone.

I woke to Ms. Maple shaking me awake. Joey was there looking worried for me.

"Professor is he alright." You could hear the concern in his voice. It made me feel a little happy that my friend worried about me so much.

"He's alright Joey. Felix what happened to you?"

"There was a machine. It was trying to get me. There were two pokémon there but they couldn't stop it." I was shivering like I was cold which was weird, I'm never cold.

"Well it is a good thing it didn't get you." The professor then did something that I would remember for ever. She crossed her hands above her heart. "Heal!" Instantly I felt better. It was if it had never happened. "Now let's get you out of here."

But the moment she said that a bright light flooded out of the rock. I turned back to it see the rock was broken in some areas. And it looked like something was inside of it. I then looked over the rock and noticed something; it looked oddly like an egg.

"Come on guys we need to go. Now!" I tried to move away but my legs wouldn't move. But oddly I wasn't panicking. It was if the thing inside the egg was meant for me.

Finally the rock broke down completely. The glow stopped but the silvery form was still there. It looked exactly like an eevee, if you ignored the blue eyes and silver fur. It looked at me then ran off. I tried to follow it, but when I came out the cave I saw its destination.

"I can't go into a forest, it's too dangerous." But for some unknown reason I wanted to go anyways. It was like I was already bonded to the pokémon.

"Why would you go into a forest, even if you had a pokémon it's too dangerous!"

I wasn't listening to him though. But before I could go the professor stopped me. "Wait Felix!"

"See, Felix the professor completely agrees on the fact that it is too dangerous."

"Take this pokémon before you go. Good luck." I looked at the Pokéball in my hand, nodded to her, and went on my way.

"Why is it that people just ignore me?"

Well, that is the end of chapter one. I hope those who read will review, I'm trying to get better.
