Chapter 1: the beginning

The Kaharen region, a land south of Kanto and Sinnoh. It conjoins to make one grassy plan and mountain region. There are a few islands on its borders that are filled with exotic Pokémon and plants. I am a Young boy named Zymhponis, people call me Zymph. I want to one day be a Pokémon master and I will journey all throughout Kaharen region to do so. My story starts here.

I am 13 years old, I am tall for my age, super thin, and I have short brown hair that I throw up in the front. My mother and I live with my grandfather who is the leading Pokémon professor in the Kaharen region. He is currently studying the effect of mega-evolution on Pokémon; I have been helping my grandpa care for the Pokémon that he is studying ever since I was little. My mother insisted that I stay and help my grandfather for a few years instead of leaving at the age of ten. My mom is not the only parent to share that opinion in our little town. A lot of the adults in pastel agree that we kids should stay for a few years instead of a leaving at such a young age. It is almost my fourteenth birthday and I am getting ready to leave Pastel city.

"WAKE UP SON; YOU WILL BE LATE TO GRANDPAS!" I heard my mother yell. I jumped out of bed and got dressed as fast as I could. I styled my hair and buttoned my navy blue shirt. I ran downstairs only to be greeted by my mother. "Hi Zymph, how are you?" she said as she gave me a tight hug. "I'm fine mom" I said as I struggled to get out of her tight hug. I broke free and ran for the door " don't forget your breakfast I made you" cried my mother. I turned around and grabbed the plate full of food my mother mad me. "Thank you mom, goodbye, I love you!" I yelled as I ran out the door. As I left the door and blur ran right past my feet, I didn't bother stopping as I knew it was my mom's Growlith. I threw some of my food at Growlith as he ran with me, the little orange and black Pokémon seemed very pleased with my offering. I left my plate on the side of the road promising myself that I would pick it up when I came home, Growlith stayed behind to lick the plate.

I ran for another five minutes until I arrived to the front of my Grandfather lab. It was an abandoned aircraft carrier that he turned into a fully functioning Pokemon research facility. There was a small door which used to enter in from the side, as I entered I was greeted by my grandfather, Professor Ivory. He had the physic of a healthy man but his graying brown hair gave away his true age. "Good Morning Zymphonis how are you today?" my grandfather said to me as he gave me a box containing Pokemon eggs. "Fine as usual grandpa," i gasped as i tried to carry the heavy box," why are these so heavy?' i inquired. "They are all rock type eggs, they got mixed up before i could label them so we are gonna have to wait for them to hatch to see what Pokemon they are exactly," with that my grandpa marched into his window covered office down the hall.

I carried the eggs to a low temperature incubator that was on the other side of the hanger, as i walked i saw the familiar sights that i see whenever i go to the lab. The first level of the hanger was filled with artificial landscape and testing champers and 20 feet above me where stairs and metal bridges which connected other enclosures to rooms of assorted purposes. i finally reached the back of the hanger which was dedicated to Poke-egg hatching.

I placed the heavy eggs in the incubator one at a time until they were each nestled into their own heat warmed cradles. A loud cry came from the a enclosure a few rooms back, i ran to a enclosure that looked like a flowery meadow only to find that it was empty. I knew something was up so i let my self in. As i entered i saw what was going on, my companion Ralts and had made her way into the enclosure an had cast confusion on the glass. She was looking for attention, "come here You little rascal," I proclaimed reaching down to grab her. In an instant Ralts body went from solid to shimmery and bright, i felt a soft weight on my arm, it was Ralts, She had teleported onto my arm. i laughed at my companion, left the enclosure, and went on with my day.

"Hey Zymph whats up?" cried a tall blond kid that i recognized as my friend Ace. "Nothing much, just the usual." i replied. Ace and were walking around from enclosure to enclosure checking up on Pokemon. We talked about our future explorations as we did our rounds.

Ace was tall and had blond hair which he tied in short braid that fell to his neck. He is only a few months younger than i, we plan on taking our Pokemon adventure together. Just like me, Ace has a partner. For as long as i have known Ace he has been close friends with a Rhyhorn and they have formed a sort of partnership based off of trust.

"Oh by the way, your gramps had a assignment for you, he told me to tell you but i kinda' forgot until now." Ace told me this and i decided that this could not wait. I made my to Grandpas office, eager to hear about my new mission.

I entered my Grandpas office and said "You have a assignment for me?" HE turned around and greeted me "Ah yes, i have a field assignment for both you and Ace." he said with confidence " I have studied both yours and Aces Pokemon and i think they are about to evolve. If my research is correct then i think i can get your Pokemon to evolve today." He pulled two poke-balls out of his coat pocket "If you officially capture Ralts and Rhyhorn it should speed the evolution process. I don't know why that is, but Pokemon seem to evolve faster if they have trainers." With that said Grandpa handed me the two Poke-balls and said " I want you and Ace to make your way over to the Brook-Stream forest, capture and do a short training session with your Pokemon." I was excited " Thank you Grandpa, i wont disappoint you." I rushed out of his office to find Ace. I found Ace near a cave enclosure and told him about our assignment. Ace was just as excited as i was, we left the lab immediately to start our mission.
