Chapter 1: A Silver beginning to a Golden Adventure

There I was, in my house in New Bark Town. Sitting there, reading a book about Pokémon Biology and breeding habits. It was an interesting thing to study, but I want to know as much about Pokémon as possible.

My name is Ethan, Ethan Schneider. 11 years of age, though not very knowledgeable of Pokémon. Not at all, but compared to my role model, Red, I have some catching up to do. Literally the only Pokemon I know anything about are on the first two routes outside my house.

I live in the Johto region, just west from Kanto. Compared to Kanto, we are not high tech or sciencey. We do not have the groundbreaking technology or the science resources that Kanto has. What we do have though is a grand culture and history that dates back over 200 years. But most of all, we have Pokémon that range from rare in Kanto to practically non existent over there.

"Ethan, could you do me a little chore please?" asked Mum. I went downstairs to see her with some equipment. Yes, we may not have the science of Kanto, but we are not devoid of it either. "Deliver these to Daniel please?"

Professor Daniel Elm (known to me as Professor Elm) is the Professor of the Johto region. He studies Pokemon Breeding (hence why I like to study it to) and is good friends with Professor Oak. I am his junior assistant of sorts.

I went through New Bark Town to Professor Elm's Lab, where I saw I red haired boy looking through Professor Elm's window. I went up to him but he pushed me away. "Hey, mind your own business and go away." I was quite upset at this, but I went inside.

I asked if Professor Elm was anywhere, and he came running out, dropping papers as he went. "Ethan! Thanks for coming. You got those books for me?" I handed them to him, and he immediately dropped them. "I knew I could always count on you. Here, come and have some tea. I need to discuss something with you."

We sat down with tea in hand. "I need you do something big for me" he said. "I want you to go and meet Mr Pokemon and pick something up for me."

I knew Mr Pokemon. He lived north of Cherrygrove City, which is just west of New Bark Town.

"Well, you can't go alone, so I would like you to use one of these." He opened a capsule. Inside were three Pokeballs. "Pick one."

I went up and picked up the one with the flame on it. I opened the pokeball and out came a small Pokemon with a flame on its back. "You chose Cyndaquil!" Professor Elm mentioned. "Let me describe it for you!"

Cyndaquil

004

Fire Type

Fire Mouse Pokémon

1'08" (0.5m)

17.4 lbs (7.9 kg)

It usually stays hunched over. If it is angry or surprised, it shoots flames out of its back.

"Thank you so much for doing this. Come back to me once you have picked what I need up please!"

"What a task!" Mum said that night. "Professor Elm must really depend on you." She went over to the side of the room. "Which reminds me, your Pokegear came back from the repair shop!"

The Pokegear is my phone. It got short circuited when I dropped it in a pond full of Poliwag and it had to go into repair.

"I've began replacing the numbers with mine and Professor Elm's. Ill leave you with the rest. Its getting late, you better get to sleep for tomorrow."

I did that, with Cyndaquil next to me.
