Me, Myself and Totodile: A Trainer's Tale
Part 1
The Beginning Has Begun!
The room was compact. A television, with a purple Gamecube lay in one corner, and a computer in another. A single bed was pressed against the wall, and a young person was asleep in it.
Suddenly, an alarm clock went off, waking up the young person in an instant. The person was in fact, female. Her long black hair was flung upwards as she sat up.
"Nine o' Clock! Right on time!" She said.
She grabbed a remote control and put the television on. A program with a person in a lab coat flashed onto the TV screen.
"Welcome. I am here to explain the crucial basics for new Pokemon trainers." Said the white-haired man on the screen. "My name is Professor Oak. I'm known because of my detailed research into the species of creatures known as 'Pokemon'. Some people raise Pokemon as pets, while others use them in battle. However, we don't know everything about Pokemon, and probably never will, as there will most likely still be mysteries to solve."
The program babbled on for a moment, talking about how to make a Pokemon feel comfortable, and many of its dietary habits. Meanwhile, the 13-year old, black-haired girl folded up her pajamas, now fully dressed in a purple top, and a white skirt.
"I, Naru Kimori will be a great Pokemon trainer. Even greater than that of Red Akano and Green Midori! I am armed with a backpack of supplies, a belt of Pokeballs, and a great starter Pokemon! Today is the day!" She proclaimed, while releasing her Pokemon out of its ball. It hiccupped slightly, and then looked up at its trainer in admiration. It saw the fire burning in her amber eyes.
"To, to, dile!" It merrily chirped.
Naru looked down towards her Pokemon. "Alright, Totodile! Here we go!"
She ran downstairs, her blue-jawed partner following her. She grabbed some bread and crammed it in her mouth, her partner doing the same, again. And then, while running up and down on the spot, she wrote out a quick note to her parents.
"Well, I'll miss you, mom. But I've got to go! I want to reach Cherrygrove by this afternoon, after all…"
She opened, and then ran out of the door, and waited a moment for her reptile friend to do the same. Then she locked the door afterwards.
Naru stopped for a moment, feeling her hair getting slightly wet. "Ah! Rain! I've gotta hurry into Route 29, and find some trees for shelter!" She said.
"To!" Said her companion, while it enjoyed the moist raindrops flickering on top of its head.
"Here I go!" She said, while running past the sign that pointed to Route 29.
Immediately arriving onto the long trail, she tripped over a small, brown-ish Pokemon.
"What's that Pokemon?" She asked to herself, while her Totodile prepped itself for battle.
She aimed her Pokedex towards it. She quickly read out the details, as they flashed up. "Sentret, the Scout Pokemon. It stands on its…"
She stopped and cried out, as a loud cry rang out. When it stopped, she continued reading. "It stands on its tail so it can see a long way. If it spots an enemy, it cries out loudly to warn its own kind."
She looked at the brown furball in front of her. It smirked back. And so did the group of arriving Sentret.
"Looks like we have our work cut out for us, Totodile." Her big-jawed friend opened its mouth and gaped at the amount of enemy Pokemon.
"But, no use in standing around! Totodile, go and give them a scratch attack!" Naru commanded.
Upon seeing no seeing no attack being executed, she looked around… and saw her Totodile running away from the fleet of furballs. "Totodile! No! Come back!" She ordered, running after her fleeing Pokemon.
"Totodile!"
