The greatest journey around the pokemon world

The golden Charmander

It was October the first. Today was Stacey's tenth birthday, and she would be getting her first pokemon and be able to travel around Kanto. Her parents were giving her five presents for her birthday, since they were her only known relatives apart from her twin brother Simon, who was also going on a pokemon journey with her. He was also getting five presents, but Stacey and Simon were going to give each other a present. Both of them were mad about pokemon.

Stacey woke up. It was 7:00 and she would get her first pokemon in an hour. She didn't know what pokemon to get. She'd been thinking in her sleep what to get, but she had no idea what to get. Simon woke up and got out of bed.

"Good morning, Stacey, what pokemon are you getting?" he asked.

"I don't know" Stacey replied.

"Well maybe if you go downstairs with me, the presents might help us decide" Simon told her.

"Okay then" Stacey said. She got out of bed and went downstairs with Simon. Their mum and dad were there.

"Happy Birthday!" they shouted. Stacey and Simon ran to their presents. Stacey opened hers first. Her first one was from Dad. It was a Pokegear from his trip to Johto. She opened the other one from her mum and her dad. It was a pokeball.

"Open the pokeball" Dad told her. She threw the pokeball in the air and the pokemon came out. It was her favourite pokemon, Illumise.

"Thank you, Dad!" She cried. He hugged her.

"This is the best birthday ever!" she cried. "Thank you!"

She let go of Dad and ran to Mum. She hugged her.

"Thank you, Mum!" she cried. She let go of mum and opened her third present. It was a Pokenav from Dad. She opened her fourth present from mum. It was a backpack. It had room for normal items, special items and pokeballs. She opened her fifth present from Mum. It was a belt for her pokeballs. She opened her final present from Simon. It was a badge case.

"Thank you, Simon" Stacey said. "It's lovely"

Now it was Simon's turn to open his presents. He got the same presents as her from Mum and Dad, but they were a different style. He liked red and blue, so Mum had got him a red bag and blue belt (Stacey had hers pink and purple). He opened the present from Stacey. It was a red and blue badge case.

"Thanks, Stacey, thanks Mum, Thanks, Dad" he said to them. He opened his final present. It was a pokeball. He threw it in the air and it opened. It was a Volbeat, his favourite pokemon. Immediately, the Volbeat saw Stacey's Illumise and chased it. Illumise liked this, as Volbeat chased her for her scent. The whole family laughed. They noticed the time. It was 7:30.

"Do you think you should go on your journey now?" Mum asked.

"Okay" Stacey said. Tears were in Mum's eyes.

"Bye" she said to them, crying. They returned their pokemon and put everything in their

bags.

"Bye" Stacey and Simon said, crying. "We'll talk to you on our pokenavs"

They walked outside and ran to Professor Oak.

"You're early" he said. "Come inside"

They walked into the building and into a room. In the middle of the room was a machine with three pokeballs.

"Simon, you choose first" Oak said. He walked over to the machine. Simon opened a pokeball with a Bulbasaur in it.

"I choose Bulbasaur" he said.

"Stacey, it's your turn" Oak said. She walked over to the machine. Stacey checked out the pokemon, and then made her choice.

"I choose Charmander" she said. She opened the pokeball. There stood a Charmander. But it was gold.

"Wow, a gold Charmander!" she said!

"Here are your pokeballs and pokedexes" Oak said to them. They took the pokeballs and pokedexes and walked outside. They ran home and showed them their starter pokemon.

"I really like your choices" Dad said.

"They're so cute!" Mum said.

"We'll go now" Simon said.

"Bye" Stacey said.

They walked outside and then walked out of Pallet Town.
