Pallet town
Pallet Town was a small and peaceful Hamlet south of Viridian City, the town was surrounded by trees with a river leading feather south, Pallet Town was made up of three houses and a Pokémon lab, the lab was owned by the world renounced Professor Oak one of the lead researchers in Pokémon.
The First house was owned by a Man named Tracy Scetchit, Tracy was in his late twenties and wanted to become a Pokémon photographer so he worked with the Professor caring for the Pokémon at the lab.
The Second house was also owned by the Professor who lived with his grandson Cole Oak who would soon start his journey and his Granddaughter, Alice who was two years younger.
The Final house that made-up Pallet Town was owned by Meddo Halon, he too would soon start his journey and his Mother.
Meddo, Alice and Cole had been lifelong friends and at times rivals, Cole was a few months older than Meddo and was inpatient, Loud and arrogant. Meddo was kind, confident and determined to help the Professor whenever he could as Cole was 'too busy' to help around the lab doing Arceus knows what.
Alice was the youngest of the three and always looked up to Meddo, Cole always gave her a tough time as he wanted things done instantly and increases her workload by giving her his tasks given to him by Professor Oak, this always annoyed Meddo knowing how much the 8-year-old does already.
As the sun rose upon the small town, the first up in town was always the Professor, working on things at his lab.
Soon the town slowly wore up to the calls of the Pidgeys and Spearows, outside the lab Professor Oak who was dressed in a white lab coat, red and blue checkered shirt with brown cargo trousers, next to him was some scaffolding and pots of paint.
"Morning Professor Oak," Came a young male voice from behind the Professor, turning around Professor Oak greeting the boy, the boy was dressed in a red and white jacket, with a matching red and white hat covering his brown coloured hair, he wore a black top underneath with blue jeans and black trainers, his eyes a dark tinted blue colour.
"Morning Meddo, now my dear boy, what brings you here at this hour?" Professor Oak questions as it wasn't even 9 o'clock yet, which was when the Pallet trio normally arrive at.
"Well, I came to let you know that my mum and I are going to Viridian City for some shopping to get supplies for the month," Meddo replies explaining his reason, looking at the Professor, Meddo could tell he was pondering something.
"While you are there could you run an errand for me?" Professor Oak asks looking at the soon to be a Pokemon trainer.
"Sure, what is it?" Meddo replies agreeing to it before inquiring about it.
"Well, I ordered something at it should have arrived at the Pokemart today, if it isn't too much to ask if you could get it for me, as I wish to get started on repainting the Lab today," Professor Oak explains receiving a nod from Meddo, who bid the Professor a goodbye before heading to meet his mum at Route 1.
Half an hour passed before Alice arrived, she was wearing a grey top with black tracksuit bottoms and a pair of blue trainers, she had her dirty blond coloured hair tied in a ponytail, to avoid getting hair in her green eyes.
"Morning Grandfather, I am I the first to arrive?" She questions as she greets the Professor, with a soft smile on her face.
"Well, Meddo won't be joining us as he his shopping with his mother, as for your brother I haven't seen him yet," Professor Oak replies, his response caused Alices face to drop at the idea of not seeing her friend today, she didn't care too much about her brother.
"Shall we get started then Grandfather," Alice then says with a gleaming smile on her face as she always loved helping out at the lab, this sudden change in attitude surprised him a little before the duo started painting the lab with a new coat of white paint.
An hour later and Tracy arrived and gave a hand in painting the lab, the painting of the lab took proximity 3 hours to do, just as Alice was painting on the last few bits of paint, Tracy noticed someone walking down the road towards them.
"Hey Professor, do you have any bookings for today?" Tracy questions turning his attention to the Professor.
"Other than Meddo and Cole, no I don't why do you ask?" Professor Oak replies inquiring on why he asked the question.
"It's just someone is walking towards us, but is too far away to tell who it is," Tracy replies pointing out to a figure walking towards them.
"Hey maybe Meddo is back," Alice comments happily with a wide smile, as she watched the figure approach them, but her smile faded as she realised who it was, the figure had the same dirty blond hair as her, similar green eyes and was wearing a blue and white jacket, with grey jeans and blue trainers.
"Cole, where have you been? you should have arrived three hours ago, to help us paint the Lab," Alice questions annoyed as Cole reached the trio.
"That is none of your concern Sister," Cole states as he enters the newly painted Lab, Professor Oak then followed him inside.
"Hey Alice, could you go check if Meddo is home yet? if so could you get him to come to the lab," Tracy asks the girl gave a quick nod before sprinting up the road to Meddo's house.
After a long run Alice finally got to Meddo's house, panting due to the long run, she knocked on the door, hearing movement moments after holding a brown parcel before the door opened revealing Meddo, he had a bright smile on his face as he looked at his friend.
"Alice, I take it you ran here from the lab?" Meddo questions looking at the girl who was still panting from the run, she only nodded in reply to his question thou.
"You're needed at the Lab," Alice says finally catching her breath, Meddo chuckled before heading inside only to return a few moments later.
"Let's go then," Meddo comments as he shuts the door behind him, the duo decided it best to walk to the lab as not to tire themselves out completely.
Soon the duo arrive at the lab, Alice quickly jogged into the building in excitement with Meddo following behind her, upon entering Meddo quickly took in his surroundings, to the right of him where two assistance of Professor Oak looking through some books, while one on the left was on a computer looking at a document sent to them by another Professor.
In front of him was four large bookshelves each containing books authored by the regional Professors and other notable scientists, behind those was the main work area that was mainly used by Professor Oak, to the right was a table with a single Pokeball on it.
"Hey Gramps, when do I get my Pokemon?" Cole questions his tone of voice showed he was getting annoyed with waiting around.
"I told you will get your later, ah Meddo, my dear boy, how good of you to join us," Professor Oak says getting off the subject.
"Well Meddo you…" Professor Oak says but was cut off by one of his assistance.
"Professor Oak sir, Professor Kukui demands to speak with you, he says it's important and it can't wait," The assistant explains quickly, before leading Professor Oak to another room which held the video-phones.
After sometime Professor Oak exited the room with a blank expression, which turned into a scowl as if he was in deep thought, before returning his attention to the others, Alice had left the lab saying she had something important to be doing.
"Anyway, Meddo see that Pokeball on the table, it contains a Pokemon, I wish for you to have it," Professor Oak explains looking at the young boy.
"Hey what about me?" Cole questions angary as Meddo approached the table, as he went to grab the Pokeball, he was rudely shoved, out the way by Cole.
"I want this one!" Cole exclaims snatching the Pokeball, leaving Meddo the pick himself up off the floor.
"That was unnecessary Cole," Meddo comments as he got up brushing himself off, only to be ignored.
"Cole, I was going to give you one later anyway, you know what never mind, Meddo could you come here a moment," Professor Oak says causing the young man in question to approach him.
"Yes professor," Meddo replies as he reached the Professor, his face showing his disappointment with Cole, but it was gone, the moment the Professor produced a Pokeball from his left pocket.
"I know I only caught this fella yesterday, meaning I haven't gotten him used to Humans yet but," Professor Oak starts getting Meddo to look at him a bit wearily, "I know you will do a better job then I can Meddo," Professor Oak finishes handing the Pokeball to the young trainer.
"Hey Meddo, now that we both a Pokemon why not battle?" Cole questions, though sounding more like a demand than a question, Meddo nodded as the Professor took the two to a battlefield outback.
"This will be a one on one battle between Meddo Halon and Cole Oak, begin," Tracy says once he took his place in the referee's box, going first Cole sent out his Pokemon, as the light around the Pokemon died it revealed a small dog looking Pokemon, its fur was a brown which darkened at the tail, the tip of the tail was a greyish brown while the fur around its neck was a cream colour.
"Eev, Eevee," the Pokemon says already taking a battle stance ready to attack command, seeing this Meddo called out the Pokemon the Professor had given him.
"Alright come on out," Meddo calls, in a flash of light appeared a small mouse looking Pokemon, the fur was a mainly yellow colour, except for the three brown stripes on its back, and at the base of his tail, while the tips of his ears was a black colour, the Pokemon also had red circles on its cheeks.
"Pika pi?" questions the yellow rodent, as he looks around the battlefield with a confused look, until he notices Meddo, this causes the electric type's face to turn into a frown as he starts to sent sparks from his cheeks.
"Eevee, use Tackle," Cole orders not noticing the look Pikachu was giving his new trainer, Eevee complying with what Cole had said, running at the distracted Pikachu.
"Pikachu dodge, Eevee's attack," Meddo says looking at the electric type who didn't move one bit before Pikachu was sent flying across the battlefield hitting the ground hard, "Pikachu you ok," Meddo calls out with a concerned tone, Pikachu didn't respond but got back up.
"Eevee, use tail whip," Cole Orders, Eevee turned around and shook its tail, seemingly lowering Pikachu's defence.
"Pikachu use growl," Meddo commands, only for the electric type to release a thunder shock, hitting the Eevee, "Pika pi," Pikachu says angary.
"Eevee, Tackle," Cole orders again, Eevee starts to run at Pikachu again.
"Pikachu dodge it," Meddo commands again, only to have Pikachu not move before being sent backwards by the Tackle just as he released another Thunder Shock, "Pikachu please listen to me and use growl," Meddo commands, though sounding more like a plea as Pikachu struggled back up.
"Eevee, finish this with Tackle again," Cole orders smugly, knowing he had the battle in the bag, Eevee seemed to also know this and charged in again for the final strike.
"Pikachu Dodge, then use thunder shock," Meddo commands looking at the injured Pokemon, before he was hit again this time knocking him out, "Pikachu," Meddo calls running over to his downed Pokemon, "Thank you for trying," Meddo mutters as he returns Pikachu into the Pokeball.
"Seems like I chose correctly," Cole states in triumph, with Eevee beside him mimicking his actions.
"What do you mean picked correctly, we didn't pick them," Meddo thought ignoring his friend's arrogance and annoying comments.
"Let me heal both you Pokemon," Professor Oak says as Cole returns his Eevee, both trainers agree to hand over their Pokemon.
"How did the battle go?" was the first question asked, by the young blond as the boys re-entered the lab.
"Well, I lost but we can't always win our first battle," Meddo comments with a small smile etched onto his face, Cole had a smug look on his face.
"Well the loss is expected when up against me," Cole comments arrogantly, this caused Meddo to shake his head in his right hand as he sighed in annoyance, Alice, on the other hand, looked as if she was about to punch him.
"Well here they are, all better," Professor Oak says handing the boys their Pokemon back fully healed.
"Oh yeah Professor I've got your parcel here," Meddo says pulling out a brown parcel out of his pocket and handing it to the Professor.
"Thank you, my dear boy, now I would like you two to take this and scan the Pokemon from Kanto onto it," Professor Oak says handing the two a red rectangle which had what looked like a camera on the top of it and a button to open front, "That there is a Pokedex, it will hold data of Pokemon you catch or scan when encountered," Professor Oak explains.
"No problem Gramps, I'll have it filled for ya," Cole starts before turning to leave, "Oh and Meddo I don't think your help is required now that I am doing this," Cole add before leaving the lab and a completely annoyed Meddo.
"One of these days he'll achieve something great but lose to me straight after," Meddo comments clearly annoyed with the boy, as quickly he became annoyed Meddo calmed down, the same couldn't be said about Alice, who was still peeved.
Just then a flash of light causing everyone to jump as Pikachu appeared on his own accord, surprising Meddo and Alice.
"It would seem that Pikachu doesn't like his Pokeball," Professor Oak comments, Alice instantly gushed over how cute he was, causing the electric type to give off warning sparks from his cheeks, Meddo quickly got in between the two, before Alice and Pikachu do harm to each other.
"Meddo, here you'll be needing this," Alice says holding out a blue and white rucksack, which Meddo took gratefully, he then did a quick item check of things in the bag.
Looking inside the bag Meddo could see, 10 Pokeballs, 5 potions, two cookbooks, a notepad, pens, a town map, Pokefood recipes, cooking equipment, tent, sleeping bag, canteen and a picture, noticing this Meddo pulled out the picture out of curiosity, looking at the photo Meddo couldn't help but chuckle.
The image in his hand was of an 8-year-old Meddo who was wearing a blue shirt with black jeans, next to him was two girls both 2 years younger than him, one was wearing a blue dress with dirty blond hair, while the other was wearing a red dress with brown hair, both girls had the same hair style, next to the one in red was an 8-year-old Cole, wearing a red shirt with blue jeans.
"This photo was taken just before we left for the dance in Viridian City," Meddo comments, looking at the picture.
"Well I though you could use a reminder of us while you're travelling," Alice explains as Meddo puts the Photo neatly back into the bag.
"Thank you, Now we best be off," Meddo says before giving Alice a hug goodbye, once they parted Meddo shook hands with the Professor and Tracy, before picking up Pikachu, who had fallen asleep and left the lab.
