Episode1 Chapter1: Heart of the Rising Breeze Area: Breezefall Town

"Raziel!" cried said girl's mother. She's never been more proud of her daughter in her life. "Come down for breakfast!"

"I'll be there in a minute mom! I just need to fix my hair!" Today was a very special day for Raziel Kitatske. For this is her tenth birthday and on this day she'll receive her trainer's license and first Pokemon. Raziel felt nervous standing in front of her Milotic adorned vanity mirror. The brunet looked endearingly at her hazel eyes as she tied back her hair.

"You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella…" sang her Chatot radio.

"Thank you, Rihanna. I needed that." Raziel turned off her alarm and started her way downstairs. Her legs felt frail as she rushed down the stairs. Her excitement from the night before caused her legs to feel slightly unbalanced.

"Okay… one foot in front of the other…" Raziel said to herself as she held on to the handrail. On the final four steps, Raziel could smell her mother's pancakes. Too bad she wasn't looking at her feet. Luckily a hand stopped her fall. Her father's Tyrouge-Tyran- had the best reflexes out of all the Pokemon in Breezefall Town.

"Th-Thank you!" obliged Raziel.

"Ty-Ty." Tyran helped Raziel down the last couple of steps and let go of her hand at the kitchen.

"Sorry, Tyran. I guess I'm a klutz!" Raziel giggled as Tyran gave her an embarrassed stare.

"G'morning sweetie. How's my birthday girl?" Miss Klutz's mother asked as she kissed her on her forehead.

"Oh mom, I'm totally psyched! I don't think I've ever been so happy in my entire life! Now where are those pancakes?"

"I wouldn't say your entire life, now. You're only ten, Raz. And- Raziel?" Her mother's terms of endearment rang too late. For Raziel was already shoveling her Buneary shaped pancakes into her mouth.

"She has the appetite of a Munchlax…"Cringed Raz's mother.

After breakfast, Raziel sat on the couch in the living room watching a battle between a Blaziken and a Garchomp while her mother filled Raz's tote bag with various supplies.

"C'mon Blaziken! Flamethrower, Flamethrower!" Cried the birthday girl. There were two things Raziel loved about Pokemon: How cute most of them were, and having them battle. At Breezefall Pokelementary, all the girls wanted to be top coordinators like May Haruko or Dawn Hikari. But Raziel had different ambitions. She was crazy about battling. The whitehot intensity, the beautiful sight of every attack, the well-seasoned trainer's ability to execute attack combinations in the heat of battle… This was a feeling that only a girl with a slightly tomboyish personality like Raziel could have. She dreamed every night of having wondrous showdowns with the greatest trainers in Haru. Then she'll achieve fame. Fame. FAME. FAME. This was Raziel's dream. To have her name in lights. And all she has to do is lay the smackdown on the Haru League. Of course in the first nine years of her life, Raziel was too young to legally use Pokemon in battle, so her father fed her desire by bringing Pokemon video games back from his business trips. He knew that if he never did this, then nothing would stop Raziel from running out into Route 301 and trying to capture Pokemon barehanded (she's attempted to do so before).

Back to the battle on TV, Raziel was kneeling at the edge of seat while Tyran stood by her making sure he was ready to perform another dashing rescue. The battle has hit proportions in a way that only a Saturday morning kid's show could achieve. One turn ago, Garchomp casted a Draco Meteor attack which caused critical damaged to Blaziken. The Inferno Fowl Pokemon was standing on one knee, catching its breath while refocusing it's dilated eyes. Weak, stabbing pains coursed through Blaziken where the scattered meteors hit.

"Blaziken!" Screamed his trainer, who was young boy in swim trunks.

"Blaziken," He repeats, "you can't stop now! We just need to connect one more blow!"

"Blaze!" Blaziken cried, it knew it couldn't do anything spectacular at this point. But his trainer was counting on him, and by God, he wasn't going to let the rest of his down.

"Blaaaze!" He screamed. A red pasteled aura appeared around Blaziken. Swimtrunks knew what this phenomenon was. The ecstatic battle announcer exclaimed that this was Blaziken's Blaze ability and it powered Blaziken's Fire attacks by 1.5x. With almost no hesitation, Swimtrunks commanded his Pokemon.

"Blaze Kick, NOW!" A plume of fire materialized around Blaziken's right leg. The powered-up fowl dashed across the field to connect the attack.

Garchomp felt insulted that Blaziken still stood After feeling the full strength of Draco Meteor. His female trainer needed to act immediately to this new situation.

"Garchomp, Dragon Claw!" The warring juggernauts were going to converge at the center of the field. Raziel eyes watered as the Pokemon came closer and closer. This is it. The attacks are abut to land . This will decide who wins! 5… 4… 3… 2… Click. The screen was blank. Raziel remembers her took the remote during the battle.

"Mah-ahm! What gives?!"

"It's almost ten, Raz. The Poketran to Hailtech City leaves at 11:45. Unless you don't want to have a battle like that yourself one day, you ought to finish packing. Now."

"Alright, mom." Raziel came over to the island counter in her kitchen with her mother. On top of the counter was a pearl pink tote bag with a Pokeball insignia on both ends of it. The bag was already filled with a good assortment of supplies: Potions, Antidotes, Clothes, and a canister of Pokemon food.

"Now Raziel, I want you to put these in your purse okay?"

"What are they?"

"The red pass is for ten free rides on the Poketran.While this Blue card is to buy more Pokemon food at any of the marts in Haru in case you run out. And finally, the pink card is to get your Egg and Pokemon at the lab."

"Oh! I almost forgot about the Egg I'll get!" You see, Two months ago Raziel's mother entered a battle contest during Breezefall Town's Mother's Day Festival. Whoever won this competition earned the grand prize, which was a Special Pokemon Egg. Of course, Raziel's mother and her Growlithe beat 30 other mothers in a row and humbly won the egg. When Professor Tamarao of Hailtech City presented her with the prize, Raz's mother made a deal with him, say that Raziel can have the egg and will receive it with her first Pokemon on her tenth birthday.

Raziel and her mother Walked outside the house and Raziel started unchaining her bike.

"Did Professor Tamarao say which Pokemon would hatch from the egg?"

"No, he said he wanted you to be surprised."

"Aww… adults keep everything secret…"

"It'll be much more fun that way. So, do you know where to go?"

"yes…" Raziel has told her mother the directions million fold before. "I Just ride my bike up through Route 301, where I'll end up at the Tran Station, then I'll take the 11:45 Train to Hailtech City and ask one of the tour guides there to take me to Hailtech lab."

"Good. Now be sure to call me as soon as you get your Pokemon and the egg.

"Sure mom."

"Be careful of the Pokemon in 301 Raziel."

"Don't worry mom, all the Pokemon there are Friendly. I'm off now." Raziel set herself her bike while Tyran put her Tote bag onto her bike.

"I love you Raziel. Never forget that."

"Love you very much mom! Hearts to you too Tyran!"

"Ty rouge Ty!"

And so Raziel rode off. Tyran spotted tears in the mother's eyes and swiftly wiped them away with a Kleenex. Little did Raziel know that if she told any Rattata or Starly on Route 301 that every Pokemon there was friendly she'd be dead wrong.
