Into the Pokémon World

It is 10 p.m., and a tired Danny Kendall comes home from a whole afternoon working. "I might need the money to buy the newest Pokémon game, but I don't like it."

The lights where still on. "weird, I thought my parents would sleep early tonight, since they want to plan something for my birthday, tomorrow." With that thought, Danny walked into the house.

Danny was like an average boy, he was 14, about to turn fifteen. He had brown hair, and that much hair gel in his hair that even the biggest wind couldn't blow it out of shape. His hair was straightened from behind, and made a turn to the right. He normally dresses up with a either a black or red t-shirt, blue jeans, and blue/red shoes. When he goes outside, he has a blue jacket to wear.

"Dad, mom, I'm going to sleep, big day tomorrow." "Okay honey, sleep well." His mother answered. Danny nodded to his dad, and walked to his room

"My PC is still on, let's have on more fight with Charizard." Danny said.

Later

"Take that Lance, with your stupid Dragonair, you are no match for my Charizard." Danny said, as he climbed on to his bed. Fighting the Elite Four had become quite boring after the 30th time, but it was a good exercise for his lv. 100 Charizard. The last thing he thought of was the old Charmander card he found right before the shop he worked.

"I'll think it over tomorrow."

While Danny slept, a mysterious, unidentified creature entered the atmosphere of Earth, and slowly flew towards Danny's home. The creature looked around, than created a large yellow sphere. The creature disappeared again, and the world looked normal again, or did it miss something?

The next morning

When Danny wakes up, he doesn't noticed that his room has slightly changed, the only thing he is interested in, is the Pokémon game on his PC. "damn, it shut itself down.. wait, what's that?"

The only thing remaining was a video in which Professor Oak tells something about the three Kanto starter Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. "well, it's more than nothing." And he activates the video.

"Hello everybody" An old man said. Underneath the video was readable: - Professor Samuel Oak introducing the starters to new trainers-

"today, I am going to tell you something about the three starters.

The grass-type Bulbasaur, to start off with, is a good choice, it will evolve into the gigantic Venusaur. Bulbasaur is will be more than just your Pokémon, it will be your friend. It's best known attack is Vine Whip.

The second one, Charmander, is a fire-type. It will evolve in the magnificent Charizard. You have to watch out that the flame on Charmanders tail won't deaf, because when that happens, he will die.

Squirtle, the water-type Pokémon, on the other hand, is really different, despite being the smallest, it isn't the least strong. It will evolve into the strong Blastoise. Squirtle will, just as Charmander and Bulbasaur, a good choice.

Now, make your choice, because you may choose one, when you turn 15" and fortunately, Danny did.

He shut down the PC, still thinking about how real professor Oak looked, as he walked down on their blue, carpet-covered stairs.

"Happy Birthday honey, how are you feeling?" Danny's mom asked as soon Danny entered the kitchen.

"I feel okay, thanks. Wait, what's that noise?" "That's Persian, sweetheart, you know, she lives her to, remember?" And with that moment, Danny's heart stopped beating for a second.

"P-persian, but that's a Pokémon!" Danny slowly said, fully confused. "Yeah, just like all the other Pokémon out there." His father told him.

"No, that can't be, when I fell asleep, there were no Pokémon. I'm dreaming, that's it. I know for sure I'm dreaming." Danny thought, feeling like he became insane.

"And with that smart observation, it is time to tell you about your birthday present." His mother said.

"I know you will love it, you were always busy with Pokémon stuff, and now, now you will get your own Pokémon, and make your own Pokémon journey through Kanto!"

"This is crazy, Kanto, Persian. That can't be. Am I really getting crazy? A dream, right?! I don't know it anymore, everything looks so real"

Danny pinched his arm, which did hurt.

So it is no dream, what is it then? Have I hurt my head so bad?"

"Come on, say something, do you like it?" his mom asked, afraid he didn't liked their present.

"Ah, forget it. I finally get the change to go on a Pokémon journey, so I'll use that change."

"It is great mom, dad. I'm really, really happy with it."

"Great, now this is settled, I want to tell you something about my Pokémon journey, Persian was one of my Pokémon." "You had a journey as well, dad, you never told me about!"

"He could never told me, because this world only existed yet for a few hours, but, I would love to hear a Pokémon story."

"Well, my starter Pokémon was Bulbasaur, he is now, as Venusaur, with Professor Oak, just like my other 4 Pokémon I used against the Pokémon Champion."

"Wait a second, you fought against the Pokémon Champion?" Danny asked in disbelief. "Yes, I did, after defeating the Elite 4, and I won, that's why my picture is hanging in the Pokémon hall of fame."

"That's great, I never knew you would have ambition for battle's, who were your Pokémon?"

"Next to Venusaur and Persian, I had Beedrill, Fearow, Rhydon and Pinsir, but that's enough talking, come on, we will go to Professor Oak now, before all the Pokémon are gone."

Danny couldn't anymore. There isn't an end coming to this dream, and he loved it. The more he heard about the Pokémon adventures of his dad, how quicker he wanted to leave for himself.

When Danny and Jack (Danny's father) step out of the house, after Danny kissed his mom goodbye, the sun already shines brightly.

"It really is a nice day to start on a journey." Jack said to his overexciting son. Danny looked at his dad. "How many battles did you won?"

"Well, I fought the eight gym leaders, a lot of other trainers, the Elite 4 and of course, the Champion."

"Which one was the best?" Danny really was exciting. Jack looked to his son. "It has been a long time, I think the battle against the Champion." Danny nodded, it was what he expected.

While they walked through Pallet Town, that's where they lived in this world, Danny kept wondering how it could be that this all happened, not that it was a bad thing, Danny loved Pokémon for as long as he could remember, it was just a little bit overwhelming.

When Danny was wondering, they walked past houses with nice gardens, some with Pokémon in it, people where waving towards them, and Jack and Danny waved back happily.

"Unbelievable, yesterday nobody would even wave back if I waved at them, and now…."

"Here it is, Professor Oak's house, or you may call it a Pokémon resort, so much Pokémon are in there." Jack said, Danny looked up, and was fully amazed.

"Are there big Pokémon as well, like Onix or Gyarados? " "Of course there are, al kind of Pokémon."

"Jack, is that you?" they heard a voice coming out of the house. "Yes professor Oak, it's me." "do you come to look for your Pokémon? There right here."

An older man came walking out of the house, he had grey hair, and he was wearing a lab coat. He sure was quite old, but his face looked years younger. He had a friendly laugh. He was the same man Danny saw on his laptop earlier.

"Not this time, my son turned 15 today, so he would like to choose a Starter Pokémon, while I will go to my Pokémon." And Jack went into the house.

"Well, then you must be Danny Kendall, Jack told his Pokémon a lot about you to his Pokémon, so I heard a lot about you as well. It is really nice to meet you. I am Samuel Oak, and I am a Pokémon professor. I study the relationship between humans and Pokémon. But that's enough about me, today is about you, now follow me."

"Even if this is a dream, this is awesome! I finally get my very own Pokémon, who should I choose, Bulbasaur, or Charmander, or maybe Squirtle, it's even harder than I thought."

"And boy, have you already decided which Pokémon you will take on your journey?" Professor Oak asks.

"I thought I knew it for sure, but I'm starting to doubt again." "That doesn't matter, you don't want to know how long your father stood here, choosing a Pokémon." Oak laughed. "it is an important decision to make, it will be with you for the rest of your live."

"Why did my dad choose Bulbasaur, maybe if I know that, it will help me with my choice."

"That's the reason that my Pokémon were here." Danny hears from behind Professor Oak, and he sees his dad.

"Your mom and I decided that we didn't want to influence your choice, if you would or wouldn't go on a Pokémon journey. If we would have 6 Pokémon in our house, it would be very easy to say to do it, if only to occurred in my footsteps."

"But Persian…" "There are much people who have a Persian in there house, but nobody with a Rhydon, or a Venusaur, right?" "I guess so."

"Now, here are the three Pokémon." Professor Oak said, and he let the three Pokémon out, followed by a happy growl of the three little Pokémon.

"I do have a Charizard in my PC team, so maybe I should Charmander, on the other side, my dad has a Venusaur, so maybe is Bulbasaur a better choice, or Squirtle, because Blastoise looks really cool."

"Calm down" Jack says "don't go out of my Venusaur, it is your choice, so tell us, why did you choose Charmander on the PC?" "Because I think it's a great Pokémon."

"It sounds you made your choice up" Professor Oak stated "Okay then, sorry Bulbasaur and Squirtle, but I will take Charmander." Danny said in relief. His dad and professor Oak where right, he did prefer Charmander over Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

"Charmander, my first Pokémon, who will follow, I hope I will have such a great team as my dad, or maybe even better!"

"Danny, Danny!" "O sorry, what did you say" "Here is Charmander, and a few other Pokéballs, and Pokémon food, you can buy all this stuff in the Pokémon shop."

"I know, and if my Pokémon is beaten up quite badly, I can take it to the Pokémon centre, and they will heal him." "Great, now, look who's there!" Danny turned around, and faced the second surprise that day.

"Richard, do you going on a journey as well?" Danny said, surprised. "Yes Danny, I do, and I already know which Pokémon I'll choose, Squirtle!" Richard Loine walked towards the scene. Richard was Danny's best friend since both had entered primary school, he had brown, quite long hair, it reached till his shoulders. He was wearing black sunglasses, a red t-shirt with a Blastoise on it, and blue jeans. His shoes where red coloured again.

"Richard is here as well? This gets better. My best friend, that is just really, really great."

"Now then, that's a great choice, now, here you have each a Pokédex. It records all the data of a Pokémon you see, and even more if you capture it as well. If you'll follow this way, than you should reach the Route 1 before night falls." Professor Oak says, pointing on his map.

"Great, Richard, do you mind if we travel together, than we can hold each other company." "Not at all, I hoped you would suggest that. It's a lot better than traveling alone."

And so they went outside, were a mass of people was waiting for them.

"Mom? I thought you went to your work?" "I shouldn't want to miss this, you're going on a Pokémon journey, isn't that amazing!" "Yes it is, I still can't believe it myself, I never expected I would."

"With the main reason that it couldn't, because Pokémon didn't exist, I hope that this dream will hold on for a few more hours, I am starting getting into it. Danny, stop it. Enjoy it as long as you can."

"Now tell me, which Pokémon did you choose?" "I have chosen Charmander, here it is." And he let Charmander out. "Hello Charmander, I am your new trainer from now on, what do you think of that?" Charmander made a happy noise, and Danny noticed the little Pokémon really looked forward to leave on a journey.

Richard did the same with his Squirtle, and Squirtle to seemed happy to have a trainer.

Danny's mom, Janice, kissed Danny on his forehead. "Now you be careful." "Yes mom." Danny laughed. He turned around when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You need to know that I'm already proud of you, my son." Jack said. "Have a lot of fun with your Pokémon and with your friends." Danny nodded, and he shook his dads hand. "I will dad, no worry. I guess your Pokémon will go to our house as well now?" Jack nodded. "There is no reason to have them separated from me anymore."

After waving everyone goodbye, the boys headed towards Route 1, there first stop on the road to become a Pokémon Master.

"I am going to get all badges, and participating in the Indigo League, what about you?" "Well, I don't like fighting with Pokémon, I like it more to care about them, and find out a lot of new Pokémon, and I love travelling, so this was an good change to see something of the Pokémon world."

"But you picked a starter Pokémon, I thought only trainers could do that." "I thought so to, but Professor Oak said that it doesn't what you're doing on your journey, as long if you're having fun, and raise your Pokémon to be strong and healthy, and of course, happy." And so the two friends started their journey, and a way full of adventures lies ahead of them.
