The Adventures of Obsidian

Part 1

"15 years have passed since the famed pokemon master Ash Ketchum set out on his adventure." the TV said.

"15 years ago, Ash was just a 10 year old boy who had a dream to one day become the world's best pokemon master. Through years of training, intense battles, and many struggling situations, he achieved this goal and is now the best pokemon master that this world has ever seen."

"Aw c'mon, I'm not that good." Ash said.

"Here is the pokemon master himself! Ash, do you have any inspiring words for all of our junior trainers out there?"

"Have faith in your pokemon. Treat them like family, not like tools. Always be there for them even through thick and thin. Every pokemon I have ever caught has just been another addition to my expanding family and I care for each and every one of them. Follow these rules and you may someday be a great pokemon master like me!"

As the young pokemon trainer Obsidian gazed upon his television listening to the broadcast, his mother cried out to him.

"Obsidian!" His mother yelled.

"What is it mom?"

"Breakfast is ready!"

"Can it wait? I'm watching my favorite show!"

"It will be on again honey!"

Obsidian grunted and turned off the TV. He looked around his room filled with a Noctowl clock next to his small twin size bed with a Larvitar pillowcase and Pikachu blankets.

His room was filled with posters from famous pokemon trainers and some of his favorite pokemon. Hanging over his bed was a picture of pokemon master Ash Ketchum holding his dear friend Pikachu. Obsidian changed out of his Walrein pajamas and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning sweetie." His mother said, "Hey, I need you to go into town for some things for dinner."

"Are you crazy?" Obsidian exclaimed with his mouth full of cereal, "There are a bunch of wild pokemon on the way there!"

"Don't worry. I talked to Professor Elm and he said that it is totally safe this time of year. Besides, I'll let you bring Mightyena just in case."

"Fine." He sighed

The cool breeze of New Bark Town greeted Obsidian as he walked out of his house but was cut off by his childhood friend Jade.

"Hey! Where you off to man?" Jade exclaimed. As he walked up with a fedora and a green jacket with a poke ball on the back.

"My mom is sending me off into town to get some groceries."

"I hope you realize that there are many pokemon on the way."

"Yeah I know. That's why I'm bringing Mightyena."

"When are you going to get a real pokemon and not just some pet?"

"Look who's talking smart guy!"

"Anyways I have to go. Catch you later!"

Jade ran off to his house right next to Elm's Lab.

"C'mon boy!" Obsidian called to his pet Mightyena.

Mightyena looked up and gave a great big yawn.

Obsidian mounted his bike and took off to Cherrygrove City.

About half-way to the city, Obsidian began to get the feeling he was being followed.

Mightyena started to growl.

"You feel it too?" Obsidian asked.

Obsidian stopped pedaling and looked around. Nothing. The feeling was gone and Mightyena stopped growling.

Obsidian gave one last look and then took off again towards the city not noticing the small black silhouette just a few feet behind him.
