Chapter 1: The Adventure begins.

In Eterna City, a boy called Edward sat in a cold, dark, room. His life was a wreck. His parents had been divorced when he was young, and his Dad took him away from his Mom. His Dad got married to a woman who hated him. She treated him terribly, and when his Father died she tried to enslave him. Then a light shined through the small window in his bedroom. He looked up, tears in his eyes. Outside the window, a dark, shadowy portal opened. A shadowy Pokémon came out. Edward gasped. He had never owned a Pokémon, even though he was 16, and the Pokémon limit was 10. Some strange people with terrible clothes and hair came from nowhere. Edward couldn't hear them, but one pulled a box out, and a strange thing made of lots of gold boxes floated out. The strange Pokémon disappeared, and then reappeared right on top of the strange gold thing, and it broke. All their faces fell, and a couple ran. Only one stayed, one with a slightly different suit and spikier, darker hair. The weird Pokémon floated back into the portal. The man walked away, but Edward felt he had too many questions to ask him for him to just walk away. He picked up a jumper, wrapped it round his hand and smashed the window he saw the scene through. Glass smashed in his face, but he dodged it and climbed through the window.

"Wait!" he shouted. The Man turned around almost instantly.

"Go back home. This is no place for a small child," he said.

"Actually, I'm 16. I'm just small for my age. I saw what happened, sir..." Edward replied.

"16? Hmm... You say you saw what happened?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then tell no one. What happened here was strictly private." He turned around and started to leave. He stopped. "My name is Cyrus. I work for Team Galactic. We are trying to find a new world, full of better laws of nature."

"Could I join?" Edward asked, although he didn't understand what Cyrus meant. Cyrus turned round and started to study Edward.

"Possibly. Come to our HQ in Veilstone City. Tell them you are... What's your name?"

"Edward."

"Tell them you are Edward. I will tell them to let you through. Third floor on the right. "

"I don't have any Pokémon! I'll never be able to reach Veilstone! I don't even know the route," Edward said sadly.

"Here. Take an Arbok and a Town Map. I don't need them anyway," Cyrus said, handing over a small red and white ball and a map that looked like a scroll. He walked off into the distance. Edward watched for a minute, and saw a helicopter with a G emblem printed on it fly East. Edward opened the map and saw Veilstone was East of Eterna. He headed East, even though the map said there was no path heading East. He came across a forest, and sent out Arbok from his Pokéball.

"Umm... What moves do you have?" Edward asked his Pokémon.

"Hey! Nice Arbok!" called a voice. Edward turned around to see...

'K guys! Hope you liked the first chapter! Sorry to leave it on a cliff-hanger :P.
