Pokemon Adventures of Kanto
Chapter 1: The Start of Something Big
Today was the day I start my adventure towards becoming a pokemon master. Ever since I was young I have always been fascinated by pokemon. Whether it was on tv or real. And finally today I got to get one of my very own. My childhood rival is Blue, and he always said I would never become anything when it came to pokemon. I am gonna prove him wrong today. I got out of bed and got dressed. I was wearing the clothes my mother had bought me the day before. A red and white hat, a pair of blue jeans, red shoes, and my yellow bag. I walked downstairs. My mother immediately saw me and walked up to me saying,
"Red all boys leave home someday. It says so on TV. Oh yeah, I almost forgot Professor Oak was looking for you. You need to go to his house for your pokemon. I went to exit when she placed a hand on my shoulders saying,
"I know we haven't been living in Kanto your whole life but lets make the best of it dear. No matter what you fail or succeed in I am always here for you."
I walked into Oaks lab but he wasn't there. Instead Blue was there waiting. Blue has orange hair, a black shirt and purple pants. He said,
" Oh its just the loser Red. What the hell are you doing here?"
I said,
"I am looking for Oak. He's going to give me a pokemon today Blue."
Blue replied with,
"Well the old gramps isn't here. He's probably dead."
I turned around and left. I headed out of Pallet Town towards the grass in search of Oak.
I heard someone shout,
"Hey! Don't go into the grass its to dangerous without a pokemon!"
I turned around and saw Oak.
"Ah, you must be Red. Follow me."
He lead me back to his lab where Blue was.
"Gramps I am fed up with waiting I want my pokemon. And I want it now!"
Oak knew how his grandson was.
" Blue wait I told Red he could have one also."
Blue just turned his head.
"Whatever. Let him pick first. I don't care."
I walked over to the table and saw 2 poke balls on the table. Which I thought was odd cause normally there is 3 when a trainer start his journey. At least that's what my mom said the TV said. Puzzled I asked Oak.
"Uh Professor, Where is the third poke ball?"
Oak just smiled and said,
"Another trainer had already came in early and claimed it."
"Oh ok.." I took the ball on the far right. Blue walked up and took the final poke ball off of the table.
I went to leave the lab and Blue ran up to me and said,
"Wait Red lets test out our Pokémon."
Just then Blue pressed the button on his poke ball and released a light blue Pokémon with a brown and yellow shell.
"Squirtle is the best of the best Red. You don't stand a chance."
I turned to Blue and said,
"We'll see about that."
Now that I had a Pokémon I felt like I couldn't lose and this was my first official battle as a trainer. Especially to him. Oak ran up shouting
"Wait! Before you guys start battling take these!"
He handed us a pokedex.
"Now you can know what moves your Pokémon know whenever you look at there entries in this."
I threw out my Pokémon and in a flash of light out popped a light orange Pokémon with a flaming tail. My pokedex said it was a charmander and it knew the moves scratch and growl. Charmander looked over at me scared and just stared at me. I decided to attack and said,
"Alright Charmander! Use growl!"
Charmander growled at the squirtle and Blue told squirtle to tackle, tackle tackle! Charmander was taking a beating.
"Scratch."
Charmander did some damage back at Squirtle this time but it wasn't enough as Squirtle charged in again and tackled Charmander down onto the floor knocking him out. Blue had won the battle and was showing off saying about how much greater his Squirtle was then my Charmander. I picked up charmander and said,
"You did a great job."
"Even though we didn't win we did our best and that's what counts."
Oak came to us and handed both of us some poke balls.
"Use these to help you catch some more pokemon."
I happily accepted them and said,
"Thanks Oak and thanks for the pokemon."
Blue just took them from his grandpa's hand and shoved them in his pocket.
"Since your both starting to be trainers how about you two fight the Pewter City Gym and take the Pokemon League Challenge."
I decided that was a good idea and left Oaks lab.
I held Charmanders poke ball in my hand.
"Well buddy today is the day we start our adventure together."
After telling my mom I was leaving to go travel Kanto I left for the exit of Pallet Town. The sun was shining bright and the wind was blowing. It felt like a good day. My journey had now begun and my life as I knew it was changing completely.
