I ran. I didn't care where too, I just had to get out of there. My heart pounded in my chest as hard as the rain did on my back. I had been running for what seemed like forever, my feet felt as though they were running, barefoot, on a road made of broken glass. My ears were ringing, and I was out of breath, but I didn't care. I just ran faster. I'll tell you what happened, because if I don't, I might not be able to live like this anymore, with all this pain and regret. But to that, I must start at the begginig, or the end, if you perfer. Because in the end, it's really just the begining.

Chapter One: The End

I ran down the stairs. The old wooden steps creaked under my wieght. My Dad looked up from the newspaper he was reading, while my mom looked up from the stove. I stopped in my tracks.

My mother never cooks. And when she did, the food looked like something out of a horror movie. She promised she wouldn't cook anymore, after she cooked mac-n-cheese, and it walked across the table.

The kitchen was pretty big, mostly made out of wood and marble. The dinning room table was big, even though there were only four members in our family.

"You're up early."My father said. His hair was blonde, and touched the colorless rim of his glasses.

A lot of people said I looked like my father, but acted like my mother. My mother had amber-brown hair that was down to her shoulders. They both had gray-green eyes, unlike mine which were brown. My father was 6 feet exactly while my mom was five-foot-ten.

My blonde hair was down to the middle of my back, and I was only five foot five. I also had glasses, but mine were a violet color. I had finally turned thirteen, which was a legal age to become a Pokemon Trainer. My father had given me a Pokemon egg a week before my birthday.

The egg was brown with a tan ring around the top.A 'early-but-not early birthday present' my dad had called it. On the day of my birthday, it hatched into a Pokemon called Eevee.

"Eev!'Eevee said, running behind me. He had mostly brown fur, with tan tip on his tail and a tan bushy fur around it's neck.

"Hey Eevee."I said, and reached down and petted him.

"Breakfeast in done!"My mother said, and handed me a bowl of cereal. I looked at her skeptically. She had made cereal on the stove?

"Uh...thank you, mom."I said. I looked down at the bowl. It looked like someone had burnt a bunch of Cheri Berries, smashed them, and put them in a bowl with milk. I gulped. It didn't move, so I figured it was safe. I took a bite of it and surprisingly tasted like Oran Berries.

If you all are wondering what Oran Berries taste like, it was a mixture of Fruity Pebbles and Skittles.

Yeah.

I know.

Taste the freaking rainbow, Flintstone style.

I finish eating the rest of it as my Eevee ate his Pokemon Food beside me. I put the dishes towards the door.

"Wait!"My dad said. I stopped and turned around. He walked up to me and hugged me. I felt my mother's arm wrapped around me a few seconds later. They both pulled back at the same time.

"Good luck,"My mother said."and remember, we love you and you can always come back here if you need help."

"I guess I love you too."My father said, smiling.

"You guess?"I said."I guess I love you guys, too, then."

We said our goodbyes and I left. Eevee walked beside me. As I was walking, I heard my dad start blubbering like a baby.

"Destiny! Come back Destiny!" He said, I turned around to see my mom holding him back from chasing me, and the sad part about that was he was really about to run after me. I sighed, turned back around, and kept walking.

"Hey!"A familiar voice said. My friend Green waved at me while my other friend, Red, just stared.

Green and Red were my best friends, they had all lived in Pallet Town since they were born. I had moved here from Orre Region when I was young.(A/N: Orre Region is from Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness and Pokemon Colosseum. You have to capture 'Shadow Pokemon', or Pokemon how has the door to there heart closed. Look on Serebii dot net for more details.)

Red was quiet, and almost never spoke. He had a red and white hat, and the same colors on his jacket. He wore a black tee shirt and pants, which were the same color of his hair. His eyes were red, hence his name.

Green was the exact opposite of Red. He was loud, and never held back what he was thinking. He wore a black jacket with blue jeans. His eyes, like Red's, was the same color as his name.

I was wearing blue jeans and a white tee shirt with black gloves. I was also wearing white tennis shoes. I guess you could say I was the sarcastic type, and hate it when people act stupid.

"Hey."I said back."I'm guessing you guys are getting your starter Pokemon today."I couldn't help it. I smirked at them as we walked down the grassy dirt road.

"Be quiet!"Green said."Just because you had gotten yours before us, doesn't make you a better trainer! Beside, I'm going to win the at Pokemon League."

We talked for about half a minute, and then began walk towards Professor's Oak Laboratory. Green was his grandson, so I guess he was getting his starter Pokemon from him. The town was quiet, except for a few Pidgeys that sung a tuneless song.

"...and that's how I'm going to win!"Green said.

"Huh?"I said, looking at him. I hadn't realized he was talking.

"Huh? What do you mean, huh?"Green said."Weren't you listening to me?"

I walked up in to Professor Oak's Laboratory. The room was filled with different types of machinery and papers everywhere. I saw a few of his assistants looking through a microscope, talking to each other. I scanned the room, looking for him.

"There you are!"Professor Oak said as we spotted each other at the same time."I'm guessing your here to get your Pokedex?"

"Nope, I came for my Pokemon, gramps!"Green said, walking up beside me. Red walked up behind us. Professor Oak let out a laughed.

"Well then you three, follow me. Destiny, make yourself comfortable, and I'll be with you in a minute."Professor Oak said. I watched them walk away, in then went through a door that lead to the backyard, where Professor Oak kept all of his Pokemon. Either starter Pokemon for new trainers, or old one trainers had left with him.

I saw a herd of Tauros running. They were bull-like Pokemon. There fur was brown like Eevee's. They also had more fur around it's neck, creating a ring around it. That fur was a darker brown then the rest of it's body. It had silver horns coming out of the side of it's head, and three circles in between them on it's forehead. It also had three tails, that ended in a silver clump of fur. The ground on wich they had ran on had been flatten, and was nothing but dirt. I looked around at the rest of Porfessor's Oak backyard.

There were a LOT Pokemon everywhere. So many, I began to wonder if he had every single kind there was in here. There were a lot of diffrent trees, all blooming with colorful, exotic fruit. The grass was a healthy green color, with flowers as colorful as the fruits. They stood out against the white wooden building known as Professor Oak's labartory.

I heard a twig snap, and turned my head to my right. Eevee was looking underneath a tree.

"What's wrong, Eevee?"I asked, walking over to him. I saw a pokemon that was a orange reptilian creature resembling a bipedal salamander with some dinosaur qualities, particularly like those of theropods.

"Eev!"Eevee said. I reached out my hand to pet it, and it backed away. I smiled at it and then took out some Pokemon Food. I place some in my hand, and held it out to the Pokemon. It just stared at it for a moment, and then slowly took a bite. After it had finish eating the rest of food I had put in my hand, I picked him up. At first it's body tensed up, but then gradually relaxed.

"Now, see? I won't hurt you."I said, and petted him.

"Hey, Destiny!"I heard Gary say, and turn around to see him running toward me. I saw Red, and Professor Oak walk trough the door behind him.

"Hey, Green."I said."I'm guessing you picked out your starter Pokemon.

"Yeah, now let's battle! I'll show you why I'm going to be Pokemon Champion!"He said.

"Now, now. Settle down."Professor Oak said. He then looked at me."I see you've made a friend."

I smiled at him."Yeah, he's a little shy though."I looked at Red and saw a yellow mouse-like Pokemon on his shoulder. It had red circle on it's cheeks and black tipped ears. It also had a tail that looked like a thunderbolt that was brown at the bottom. It also had brown strips on it's back.

"I'm surprise you were able to get close to it."The Professor said."It would run away when a person or Pokemon tried to get near it."

I looked down at the Pokemon in my arms, and saw it smiling back up at me.

"Char!"He said.

"So what's this thing about a Pokedex anyway, gramps?"Green asked. I looked up at them.

"A Pokedex is a device that can record data of Pokemon you see in the wild, or in battles. I want you four to do this for me."He said. took what looked like a pink DS out of his pocket and handed it to me."Aim this at one of the Pokemon you see."

I put down the Pokemon in my arms and aim the Pokedex at him. It opened up and a picture of the Pokemon I had befriended appeared on the screen.

"Charmander-the Lizard Pokemon-The flame on the tip of it's tail makes a sound. You can only hear it in quiet places."

"Just like that!"Professor Oak said."This will greatly help me in my research, if you choose to accept."

"I don't mind, gramps."Green said. I nodded my head in agreement, and aim the Pokedex at Eevee.

"Eevee-the Evolution Pokemon-It's genetic code is irregular. It may mutate if it exposed to radiation from Evolutionary stones."

I was thinking about what the Pokedex had said, when Green interuppted.

"Destiny! Let's battle!"Green said. I laughed and put the DS-like device down.

"Fine. Eevee, you ready?"I asked. Eevee nodded his head and stepped in front of me. Red stay quiet and motionless.

"I will referee."Professor Oak said."The one-on-one battle between Green and Destiny will now began!"
