Hey guys! My name is Guy in the Background, or GBG for short, and this is my first story on FanFiction!
I do have a FictionPress account which is the same name, Guy in the BackGround, so if you want to check that out, feel free, but I made this one to write fan fictions!
I might spread out in due time, but for now, I'm sticking Pokemon! Now just so you all know, my favorite pokemon is Ninetales, which I consider myself to be. So don't tell me I'm not or I'll use Flamethrower on ye ._.
I guess that's all for explanations, now for the story!
This is about my OC, Dash, and his journey as a trainer going throughout the Unova Region (Yes, I'm aware it could be Kalos, but I like Unova more :P)! I'll leave the rest of the explaining to the story. Now READ ON!
This is it! Today is finally the day!
My name is Dash, and today I turn ten. And in the Unova region, that means I'm old enough to get my first pokemon and begin my adventure!
I literally leaped out of bed, taking my covers with me. I landed gracefully on the floor of my two story house, making a soft thud, and quickly began looking for something to wear. I put on my favorite shirt, which had a Ninetales on the front with fire in the background. Ninetales is my favorite pokemon - they're just so strong and graceful and cool-looking, and strong. How can I not like them?!
I slid down the stair railing and bolted into the kitchen, where my mom was cooking breakfast.
"Oh, Happy Birthday, Dash!" My mother said as I bolted into the room, "You seem awfully hyper today."
It's true; I'm not normally this crazy, but today is my Birthday, and I get my first pokemon! It's kind of hard to keep a straight face, but once my mother told me I was bouncing off the walls, I managed to hold one.
"Yeah sorry, I'm just so excited!" I said, bouncing in place.
My mother was about to respond, but a knock at the door interrupted her.
"I got it!" I walked over to the door, repressing the urge to run over and throw it open. I opened the door and saw none other than my brother, Will.
"Hey there little buddy!" he said, picking me up and giving me a hug.
My brother was 6 years older than me and was already a pokemon trainer. He wasn't famous across Unova, but he was still an above average trainer. I was wondering why he was here until I felt him begin to squeeze a little too hard.
"Will...can't...breathe!" I struggled to get out the words as I felt my face turning blue.
"Whoops, sorry." Will set me down and I took a deep breath. Once I got air back into my lungs, he continuted, "So I'm sure you're wondering why I'm herem and the answer is behind my back. But first I have to ask you, what will your first pokemon be?"
I had already thought out my choices and I had chosen a few days ago: "Snivy."
"Wrong." He said almost immediately before tossing me a pokeball. I caught it and pressed the button to make it grow to full size.
"Go on, see what it is." Will coaxed. I hesitantly tossed the ball in the air and watched it pop open and a blue-white ray of light came out and took the form of-
"A Vulpix?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. "And it's shiny!"
"I was just as surprised as you are when it popped out of it's egg." Will explained, watching me freak out as the golden-furred Vulpix stared at me curiously.
"Alright Vulpix, this is your Trainer." Will told the fire-fox, who was still staring at me while I was going crazy.
Noticing how out of control I was, I quickly got a hold of myself and kneeled by my first pokemon. "I think I'll call you Flare."
Flare seemed to like the name, because he jumped onto my chest, knocking me down, and began licking my face, making erupt into laughter.
"Vul Vulpix! Vul!" Flare exclaimed, seeming to recognize that I was his Trainer after having Will explain it to him.
"I think you two will get along well." Will said with confidence, "He acts and thinks just like you, and you best take good care of him. He's the son of my Ninetales, so he'll come after you if you don't." Will warned making me gulp. I love Ninetales, especially Will's, but I've seen its power first-hand, and it's not something I'd play around with.
"Okay, I got it. Thanks Will." I said, picking up Flare and holding him in my arms.
"Alright little bro, I best be going, maybe you'll run into me sometime." He said with a smile.
"Yeah, then we can battle and I'll kick your butt!" I said proudly.
"We'll see..." Will said before turning to mom. "Alright mom, I'll see you around." he said as he gave her a hug.
"Good bye, Will. Are you sure you don't want to stay for breakfast?"
"I would, but I promised the gang I'd let them do mock battles before our gym battle and you know I don't like letting them down."
"Okay then, have fun!" Mom said just as Will was out the door.
I ran outside after him and got outside just in time to see him flying away on his Unfeazant. That will be me one day, a Trainer of which the likes no one has ever seen. And the journey begins with the Vulpix resting in my hands.
Woo finished! That didn't take too long to write, though it was short in comparison to most of my chapters so don't worry, I'll try to make them longer, in the meantime, I'll be working on my other stories. Thanks for reading guys! GBG out!
