CHAPTER 1-Begining of a Champion?

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.. don't own the show.. only own this story and its characters{minus gym leaders and junk.. but you know that}

"Four years..." Ash Ketchum Thought to himself, as he sat beside his Pokemon, all six of which were deep in conversation. A conversation which Ketchum hadn't or wanted to hear, he was too busy deep in thought. "Four long years and no one's managed to defeat me..." His Pikachu looked up at him, as if reading his thoughts and replied, "Pikachu Pi Pika Pi! Chu Pi Ka Chu Pi!"{Translation: "Don't worry Ash, you'll find a challenge"}

"Alright!" A young boy, Jono Hiroku, lept from his bed, but fell getting tangled in his blankets and falling on the floor. He wriggled free from the cotton-trap and ran out of his room with a shout, "Today's the day! Today's the day!" He ran into the bathroom and showered quickly, singing{in a horrible voice}, "Today is the day! Pokemon Master! That's me! I'm Jono! Pokemon Master! Today is the day!...{and it goes on like that}." He quickly got dressed into a pair of dark blue jeans, a navy colored shirt and a blue and white vest, he looked not unlike Ash Ketchum, Pokemon Master. He grabbed his backpack, filled it with several pairs of the clothes he wore now, a few potions, some berries, and countless other things he thought he'd need on his journey. Jono raced downstairs and to the living room door, hurling it open and running through the opening.. right into his Uncle Gary Oak. "AH! Watchit, wouldya squirt?" The Momentary Master shouted, stepping over Jono and into the house.

Jono stood up holding his head, "Sorry Uncle Gary, I'm just so excited to leave and start my own journey!" He began to walk out the door again when Gary grabbed his vest and pulled him back.

"Not quite yet.. I got a few things for you!"

"For me? Really Uncle Gary?"

"No.. I just like holding you back..."He sighed and removed the pin from his Purple shirt, and placed it on Jono's vest. Jono simply looked up at him in amazement.

"You're really giving me this? But it's yours!" He straightened out his vest and looked at the pin that had traveled throughout Gary Oak's whole adventure, and was about to travel through another.

"It's yours now squirt.. and speaking of 'squirt', this is yours too," He pulled from his belt a small red and white ball, and enlarged it, then opened it.

"Toto Toto Totodile!" A very small blue crocodile looking pokemon appearded from the ball in a flash of red light doing a little dance where it stood. Jono smiled and looked at the little creature, "This is... mine now?"

Gary nodded, handed Jono the ball, then walked uptairs to Jono's mother's room.

"Thank you Uncle Gary!" Jono cried as he recalled totodile then ran out the door, slamming it as he left. "YAHOO! I got my first pokemon!" He decided to release Totodile from its and the two walked cheerily down the road, and out of Cherrygrove City. Jono turned to his totodile and smiled, "We gotta go back to Newbark Town, then we start the regular journey see?" The cheery croc smiled and danced as it walked.
