Chapter 1: Start of a new pokemon journey!

SLURP! SLURP! That was the only thing you could hear as I lapped up the milk in my cereal bowl.

"Stop slurping Michael!" My younger brother Tyson, screeched at me.

"It's not my fault I slurp so much. It's a habit. I have done it from before you were born!" I snapped back in my defence.

"At least I won't have to listen to it any more for a long time!" said Tyson happily.

"Michael." My mother called out to me. I turned toward her and she continued "You should be going to bed now. You have a big day tomorrow and you have to wake up early."

"Bu…" I started but only to be cut off by my mother "bed…NOW."

I marched up to my room and switched on my TV. On the screen it showed professor oak saying "for all the people starting there pokemon journey tomorrow remember to think about what starter you want. DON'T BE LATE!"

I completely forgot about the starters! I started to think about what starter I want when my mother's liepard came into my room followed by an upset Tyson. "I thought you were happy that I was going?" I said to him.

"I was but then I noticed I had no one to complain about to mom." He said but couldn't finish.

I comforted him until after half an hour he left the room on my mother's call.

I just sat on my bed thinking of what starter to get.

Charmander… Squirtle… Bulbasaur. I wanted them all but I knew I couldn't.

The door creaked open and before I knew it, a yellow blur tackled me to the floor. I looked up only to find out it was my uncles Pikachu. If Pikachu was here, then…

"SURPRISE!" looked towards the door revealing my uncle, Ash.

"Uncle Ash!" I yelled as I jumped up and hugged him.

"So you're becoming a pokemon trainer tomorrow huh." Ash said while I looked at him "I have a present for you!" He said as he brought me down stairs.

I looked around but couldn't find anything "What am I supposed to be looking at?" I asked.

He pointed at a little yellow blur on the couch next to my mother. It got up and looked at me. Pichu! It was a Pichu! I thanked uncle and ran up to it. I picked it up and it looked at me "Put me down."

"Uncle, did you hear that?" I asked uncle, who looked at me strangely.

"No." He answer. I looked over to mom who nodded 'no'.

"It was me, derp." I heard from the couch. I looked at the couch only to see Pichu.

"Finally, it took you like 10 seconds to know it was me speaking!" Pichu said as I eyed it down and looked at my uncle and exclaimed "Pichu is speaking!"

"No he isn't. All he is saying is, Pichu." He told me as I looked at him bewildered.

"I'm sure I heard my Pichu speak!" I said.

"Michael I think you should go to bed now its 11 pm and I think you might over sleep like your uncle." Mum said as she looked at Ash as he sweat dropped and rubbed the back of his head.

I walked up stairs followed by my Pichu who said when we got upstairs "Where am I going to sleep.?"

I looked at him and went back downstairs and asked uncle for Pichu's pokeball. That is when he looked at me and explained "He doesn't have a pokeball. Pikachu never liked being in a pokeball and I guess he past it onto his children." Pikachu rubbed the back of his head with his paw.

"So where is he going to sleep?" I asked uncle who explained that I would have to find somewhere for him to sleep.

As I walked upstairs again I said "Tell Stefan I said hi and I will see him tomorrow at professor oaks lab."

As I landed on my bed Pichu jumped next to me and curled up in a ball.

As I closed my eyes I fell asleep instantly only to have the weirdest 'dream' I ever had.

In Michael's dream

I fluttered my eyes open to only see that I was in some kind of black void. I got up and looked around only to reveal… nothing... "Michael Ketchum…"I heard from behind me.

As I turned around I saw a giant pokemon with a grey belly and a golden ring around his whole body with 4 green gems on them. He also had green and red eyes. I haven't ever heard of a pokemon like this before. "I am Arceus creator of the pokemon universe and the leader of the legendary pokemon." He explained catching my attention.

"Why am I here Arceus?" I asked startled that I was in the presence of such a powerful pokemon.

"You are a poke-human who was forged to be the most powerful weapon to ever exist… You have the DNA of a great legendary pokemon who one day was captured in a master ball and took his DNA. After that they left his master ball on a burning boat that was going nowhere. They then found a powerful trainer that happened to be pregnant with you. They injected the DNA of the legendary pokemon into you through your mother.As soon as you were born however the organisation was destroyed by your father but when he brought her to a hospital she didn't remember him so he left you with your mother. Soon after she met Tyson's father and she have been married ever since." Arceus explained.

I just stood there. He knew who my father was! "Who is my father?" I asked!

"All will be revealed soon!" Arceus said as he drifted away from me.

"Hay! Come back! Please! Arceus!" I yelled before the 'world' around me went pitch black.

Real world

RING! RING! RING!

My alarm clock rang.

I shot up and turned it off before my brother or mum woke up. It was 6 am. I set my alarm for 6 am even though we meeting at professor Oaks lab at 8 am. With the sun beating down of me, I put on a black t shirt with a pokeball on it and some dark blue baggy jeans.

I grabbed my packed bag and went downstairs. Pichu! I ran back upstairs and went into my room. Pichu was still sleeping where I left him. I picked him up gently and went out my front door. He woke up and looked at me rough. "Where are we?" He asked me as I walked into the forest.

"Where going into the forest outside my house." I answered casually, now getting used to being able to talk to pokemon even though it did creep him out a little bit.

"I don't like forests there dark and scary." He said worried as he clung onto me tighter.

"Don't worry your with me. I won't let anything happen to you Pichu." I said determined. We walked on until there was a big opening with a bench in the middle.

I ran and jumped on it only to jump off and start to swing on vines. I kept doing this until, believe it or not, it was 7 am! I swung to professor's lab and waited on the roof.

Pichu had fallen asleep so I just sat there thinking about my dream last night. I made up my mind that when I was strong enough I would find the organisation that killed my dad and I will destroy them.

SLAM! CLICK! I looked down to see professor oak jumping out of his car so I jumped down from the roof and waited for him by the door. "Michael is that you?" Professor asked me and I nodded.

"Where is Terry and Marry?" I asked back.

"They said something about being fashionably late…" He replied making me sweat drop. He unlocked the door and me and Pichu went into the lab. Oak gave me a hot chocolate. And sat down next to me.

"Hey what about me?" Pichu asked.

I completely forgot! "Professor Can you get a drink for my Pichu please?" I asked.

"What Pichu?" he replied until he saw it on my lap.

"Oh! That Pichu! I'll be right back." He said as he scurried to the kitchen and got a drink for my first pokemon. Oak gave it to Pichu and he drank it slowly. Quickly another hour past and another ring of the bell came and in came Stefan. He has hazel brown eyes and dark purple hair.

I got up and fist pumped him. It was then I noticed a pokemon behind him. "Is that yours Stefan?" I asked him.

"Yah my dad gave him to me yesterday. It's a Gible from the Sinnoh region. My dad chose it because it was his last dragon type pokemon in the Sinnoh region and my mom is a dragon master!" He replied.

"Your dad got me a Pichu because he knows I love electric pokemon!" I said as I showed him my Pichu.

"What about your step-dad?" Stefan asked me.

"He didn't even call to say congratulation to me or anything… sometimes I think he doesn't know I exist but I honestly don't care. If he makes Tyson happy I'm happy." I said.

Suddenly there was a loud cheer as a crowd marched to Professor Oaks lab led by, none other than Terry and Mary Oak.

I don't even know why people always drool over them… they aren't even special.

They walked into the room and Terry walked past me and high fived Stefan. Next Mary walk past me and rolled her eyes at me! What have I ever done to her!

We all gathered next to a table with 15 pokeballs on it. He started ticking of our names:

"Michael Ketchum?"

"Here."

"Stefan Ketchum?"

"Here."

"Terry Oak?"

"Here."

"Mary Oak?"

"Here."

"Daisy of cerulean city?" There was no reply. "Daisy of cer…"

RING! The doorbell! Professor opened the door to see a girl with brown hair and blue eyes. "I'm Daisy," She said.

She joined us in the group and soon the room had 19 more people in which came up to 15 people.

After professor finished the register I put my hand up and asked "Why Is there 15 pokeballs?"

He answered by saying "Because there are more trainers joining this year the other professors gave us the starters from there region, so now we have the starters from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. Michael you choose first because you were the first one here."

I got up with Pichu firmly on my shoulder and walked over to the pokeballs. Choosing between the 3 Kanto starters was hard. I've decided I want to get a fire type but what one?

Charmander… Cyndaquil… Torchic…Chimchar… Tepig

I wasn't going to choose Charmander because I got warned that they can become dangerous. Not Cyndaquil because I don't like that way he looks… he looks lazy. Torchic… no. I would probably get hungry. That only leaves me with Chimchar and Tepig. I chose Chimchar because I like climbing and they are monkey pokemon so they probably do to. I picked up Chimchar's pokeball and sat down.

Stefan got up and got Piplup quickly. Then Terry got up and chooses Torchic. Next Mary went up and got an Oshowott. Daisy picked Squirtle. All the rest picked the last ones and we all said our thanks the Oak and he gave us our pokeballs then left.

I saw my mother outside waiting for me with Tyson. Me and Stefan walked to her and we said our good byes for now. "When I come back after getting my eighth badge I will bring you a present." I promised Tyson as they left to go back home.

"What should we do now?" Stefan asked me and in perfect timing we heard Terry shout "Hey Stefan and Michael, let's have a double battle. Me and Mary verse you two! What do you say!"

We thought about it and in unison we agreed "Yes!"

"I will be your referee!" We all turned out heads round and saw Professor oak.

"Let's go to the forest to battle." He said and we all agreed.

"I know a nice clearing where we can battle." I said and me and Pichu led them there.

"Challengers take you position!"

Me and Stefan stood next to each other, the same with Terry and Mary.

All of Terry's fans and Mary's admirers cheered for them to win, filling there ego's with confidence.

"Withdraw your pokeballs!"

We grabbed our pokeballs and pressed the middle enlarging it to normal size... We all got ready to release our pokemon… A Herd of Pidgeys raced over us…

"Begin!"
