My Pokemon Journey
My P.O.V
RING RING RING! My eyes opened to the sound of my alarm clock. I reached a hand over and shut it off then jolted up. A grin spread across my face today was the day. "Crap! No time to think, I need to get ready!"
I hopped off my bed and grabbed my clothes. I put on a red t-shirt, a casual pair of blue jeans, a brown belt with a small item pouch attached, my red wrist bands, a green/white hooded thin jacket, socks, my green/white shoes, and lastly my green/white hat.
Once I was finished I went downstairs. My mom and younger brother Red were eating breakfast. "Honey, do you have time for breakfast?" My mom asked. "Sorry mom, I don't. I wish I did but I need to get to the Professor Oak's lab!"
"Bro! What kind of pokemon are you gonna pick?" My 8 year old brother asked. He's three years younger than me, making me 11. "You'll find out later, kid." I replied, walking out the door.
So, I reached the lab and opened the door. I walked up to Professor Oak. "Good morning professor!"
"Ah Brendon! your a couple minutes early! But at least you made it!" I laughed. "Hey, it's better than being late, right?" Professor Oak also laughed. "Can't argue with that."
Another minute went by and a girl with long black hair, sky blue eyes, a dark blue shirt with a pokeball symbol in the right hand corner, brown jeans, a belt, blue/white sneakers, a purple item puch attached to her belt, and a red scarf entered the room.
"Ah, Nichole! You made it as well. Now we just need to wait for Jamez!" And as if on cue my rival Jamez entered the lab.
Jamez was two years older than me, but I've known him since I was born and we compete all the time so he decided to wait until I was able to become a trainer so we could journey at the same time and continue to compete. Such a nice rival, huh?
Jamez wore a gray t-shirt, a black/red unzipped jacket, a belt to hold up his goddamn pants, dark blue jeans, black/red sneakers, and a box-like bag strapped to his lower back. For a more detailed description of him, he has indigo blue eyes, and he has dark brown hair, his banges are brushed evenly too each side of his face so that way they don't cover his eyes but it's still pretty long in the back.
Now, I didn't explain everything about myself. I have straight, light-ish brown hair with spiky bangs. And my eye color is Red, just like my mom and my little brother.
"I'M READY FOR MY POKEMON!" Jamez shouted. I scratched my ear, wondering if he broke my eardrum with his voice. "Dude..your so noisy." I commented.
Jamez rolled his eyes. "C'mon let's just get started!" Man he was impatient.
Professor Oak coughed to get our attention. "Ahem! Now, since Brendon was here before the two of you he'll choose first!" I grinned.
The professor sent out the three starters. "As you know you have the choice of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Alrighty Brendon, which one will you choose."
Bulbasaur instantly caught my attention. I stared at him, I knew he was a boy. Bulbasaur stared back, we both had serious expressions on our faces. All of a sudden both me and the grass-type pokemnon cracked a grin.
"Alright Bulbasaur, how about it! Would ya like to come with me?" The Bulbasaur jumped into my arms giving me my answer. "Great! from now on we'll be best pals!"
I stepped back, setting Bulbasaur down next to me. Professor Oak handed me Bulbasaur's pokeball. "Okay, Nichole is going to choose next~ She was the second person to arrive." She nodded.
Nichole ended up choosing Squirtle as her starter. A sigh of relief could be heard from Jamez. "Thank god! I was going to choose Charmander anyway!" My rival exclaimed. Charmander made it's way towards him.
"Now here are your Pokedex's and Pokeballs. He handed each of us five pokeballs, I attached them to my belt. I then received a blue pokedex. James received a gray one, and Nichole got a pink one.
"Now, the Pokedex itself isn't complete yet. It's in it's prototype design and I've been working on it for five years so far, it can only record data on 100 out of the 150 pokemon in the world. But it should still prove useful. I'm trusting the three of you to help me collect data."
I gave Professor Oak a grin and a thumbs up. "I'll collect as much data as possible! That's a promise professor!" Jamez promised the same thing and Nichole didn't say anything. She seemed pretty shy about something.
Jamez and I turned to face each other at the same time. "How about a battle to kick things off?" He asked me. "Alright your on!" I responded. We moved to spot in the lab with some free space so we wouldn't damage anything.
"Alright Charmander go!" Jamez's Charmander stepped in front of him, eager to battle. "Okay, Bulbasaur! Let's show them what we're made of!" Bulbasaur nodded, facing Jamez's charmander, only a few feet away from it.
"Alright Charmander use scratch attack!" Charmander rushed towards Bulbasaur preparing to launch it's attack. I mentally facepalmed. 'You've gotta be kidding' I thought to myself.
"Bulbasaur quick use Vine Whip!" A single vine came out of the bulb on Bulbasaur's back and it slapped Charmander in the face. Charmander stopped, stunned a bit from being slapped, it wasn't effective but it was enough to stop Charmander in it's tracks.
"Now Bulbasaur tackle!" Bulbasaur ran towards Charmander, slamming into the fire-type. Charmander skidded back a few feat. "Use Ember!" Jamez shouted. The attack headed straight for Bulbasaur.
"Dodge to the left! Then use Razor Leaf!" Bulbasaur barely dodged the attack but made it just in time, using Razor Leaf which was a direct hit. Charmander fainted near his master. "Darn! How could I lose..." Jamez grunted in disappointed to himself then returned his Charmander to it's ball.
Bulbasaur looked at me, expecting to be returned to it's ball as well. I smiled. "I think I'll keep ya out of your ball. If you ever want to go in it just ask!" My starter nodded happily. Jamez left the lab, muttering something about getting stronger.
I noticed Nichole was still in the lab, I walked up to her. "Hey, uh..Nichole right? Aren't you gonna go start traveling?" I asked.
Nichole looked at me. "W-Well...it's just...I'm a bit scared..t-to travel alone." Just from the way she spoke I could tell she wasn't jokeing. So, I gave her a cheery grin. "Hey! I can travel with you!"
"Really?" She exclaimed. "Yeah it's no problem! Meet me near the exit towards route 1 in 10 minutes alright?" She nodded.
I ran out of the lab, Bulbasaur in my arms. Within a couple seconds I was back at my house. I knocked on the door and Red opened it. "MOM! BRO'S BACK!" He shouted. I chuckled.
Red was an 8 year old boy, my younger brother. He had spiky black hair, red eyes like me, and a cheerful grin on his face all the time. His best friend was professor Oak's grandson Green.
My mom was a beautiful woman who was no older than 31. She looked like she was still in her early 20's though. She had dark blue hair and usually wore aprons. Mainly because she loved to cook. And thanks to her I have some cooking skills.
Well my mom has blue hair, Red has black hair, and my dad had black hair. So how do I have brown hair? I have no idea. (Before anyone asks he's not adopted.) Sadly, Dad died around the time Red was born. But he died as a hero and a great trainer.
Red noticed the Bulbasaur next to me. "WOW SO COOL! Mom look! He got a Bulbasaur!" My mom chuckled. "I noticed, it looks like a very strong pokemon!"
Red continued to talk. "Did you battle Jamez? What pokemon did he choose?"
"Ah, Jamez chose Charmander. And yeah you bet we battled!" My brother's grin widened. "Wait..since he had the type advantage does that mean you lost?"
I quirked an eyebrow, he sure knew his stuff. Then I grinned along with him, placing m hand on his head and gently ruffling his hair. "Nope! I won without Bulbasaur taking a single hit!"
"How'd you manage that honey?" My mom asked curiously. "Well, Sure his Charmander's tough and has the advantage but he rushed right in with his attacks so I was able to beat him with simple strategy." I shrugged, still grinning.
"So are you leaving now bro?" Red asked. I nodded. "Yeah, but I promise to visit when I can, and I'll be sure to call." When all was said and done I hugged my mom. "By mom~" And ruffled Red's hair again. "Later, kid! Be sure to root for me!" And so, I turned and began walking, waving good by to my mom and brother.
It didn't take long before I met up with Nichole near Route 1. "Ready to go?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yeah"
And so, we set out for route 1, heading for Viridian City.
SMALL NOTE
Alright, those of you waiting for more chapters for my other fanfics will have to wait. This is currently my main focus. But do not fret, It doesn't mean I've stopped working on the others. I'm still writing chapters for them, just haven't typed them out yet. So as long as your patient you can eventually expect an entire wave of chapters for each fanfic.
