Note: Although my characters are still at the beginning of Kanto I want to write the Unova part of the story while Black and White are still very popular. For those who actually enjoyed my other story (somehow) it will still be continued but I want to work on this right now.

It was a very bright morning when Alex woke up, the sun was shining bright in his face through the window. He woke up since he wasn't feeling like shutting the shades and then headed down for breakfast after getting dressed.

It has been two and a half weeks since Alex and co. returned from Sinnoh after the Sinnoh League ended and things returned to there normal pace in the four trainer's lives. Nothing interesting has really happened since they returned but they have received a lot of attention from the people of Pallet Town because not that many trainers from there make it to the different Leagues of the different regions. But of course a lot of this attention comes from the parents.

Speaking of the parents, well, Alex's parents, they were at the table in the kitchen with smiles on their faces as they saw Alex come down the stairs. He was a bit confused as he did not think there was anything special going on, but when you see smiles for some reason you don't know why it has to mean something good.

"Hey mom, hi dad, what has you happy this morning?" asked Alex.

"Well", began his dad, "we wanted to let you know that there is another chance for you to go on another journey. Prof. Oak called last night and said he has an acquaintance from a far region called Unova who has taken an interest in you and your friends." This really caught Alex's attention, although he wouldn't admit it he was getting bored with slow going Pallet Town, ever since he had the experience of an adventure he has wanted to go places, and that didn't really help being cooped up in this small town.

"Really? This person wants me and my friends to go to Unova?" asked Alex, he never heard of Unova, but when you are given a chance to go somewhere you don't give up the offer.

"Yeah, I even think there are a whole new set of Pokemon for you to see!" said his mom.

"Hey! Don't forget me!" said a new voice, they all turned to see Alex's little sister Teresa come into the kitchen.

"Don't worry, we were just getting to that," said their dad, "Alex, since while you were in Sinnoh it was Teresa's 10th birthday, we thought it would be great if she could come with you to Unova for her own journey!" Of course Alex could only smile at this but he didn't really like the thought of his sister walking with him throughout the region. He was estimating what the costs would be if she came: complaints of her legs being tired, more money spent on food, whining about not being able to catch up, crying if she couldn't catch a Pokemon or losing to someone, etc.

"But I'm going by myself, you got to go on your own when you started your journey", said Teresa, as if reading his mind.

"Teresa, you have to remember that he started his journey later at thirteen, now he is fourteen, you are younger so you need to stick with him, plus you could also learn things from being with an experienced trainer," said his mother.

"But, but, oh okay..." said Teresa as she was just about to leave.

"Hold on," said their dad, "just before you go to wherever you were heading I want to let you know that you will be leaving tomorrow, so don't forget to pack clothes and other supplies for you, and you are supposed to meet Prof. Oak at the front of his lab." At that she left, probably to her room or outside. Alex left too and went to meet his friends, then stopped when he realized it was only 7:30, Lucas might be up but besides that Quinton and Derek might be sleeping till 11. So after thinking about that he ate breakfast and took a shower.

After taking a shower Alex went outside to water some of the plants when he saw Lucas outside across the street.

"Hey Lucas!" shouted Alex while waving his arm to his friend. Lucas saw the hand motion and crossed over to see what was up.

"So, did you here about where we might be going?" asked Alex.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that, my parents told me about Unova, did yours tell you the same?" said Lucas.

"Yeah, but my sister is coming with us too because she is now old enough to get her Trainer's License."

"Oh,"

"Yeah, I said, well, thought the same thing too," said Alex in a slightly upset tone. Just then, Quinton and Derek came over into Alex's yard with a grin that looked like they knew something.

"Hello Lucas, Alex, I bet you want to know why we're smiling," said Derek.

"Oh let me guess, you guys are now psychics," joked Lucas.

"Nope, want to try again?"

"Yeah we know, you two are smiling because you thought you guys were the only ones knowing we were all heading to the Unova region for another journey." At this both of there grins dropped and they were left with a mildly surprised look.

"How do you know?" asked Derek.

"Well if both of your parents told you about this then don't you think ours would too?" said Alex, leaving the other to dumbstruck.

"Well, now that you mention it, yeah, but now I feel stupid, thanks," said Derek in a jokingly harsh voice. All made small laughs at this but soon began being serious about what new excitements they might find in the Unova region like Pokemon, gym leaders, and other things like that.

"Hang on a second, before I forget, I just want to let you guys know that my sister is coming on the journey too, I figured either if you heard it now or on the spot when we get to Oak's lab you wouldn't like it but I thought I should tell you now," said Alex, who knew that they would be just as displeased with someone outside of our friend group coming with them.

"What? No! Tell her she can't come, I am not going to put up with her complaining about everything because we all know she is a cry baby!" said Derek, who they all knew was not afraid to say what he thinks of people.

"Well at least she isn't going with you, she'll just be traveling with me, but besides, I couldn't say that because if I did, she would cry and then my parents wouldn't let me go to Unova," explained Alex.

"Ugh... fine, at least make sure she doesn't get annoying whenever we cross each other in that region," said Derek.

"Okay, now that we have that unnecessary fighting over, we need to decide who will be the odd one out, we all already took a turn in the other journeys, so one of us will have to go again," said Quinton.

"I vote Teresa," said Derek.

"That would still leave us with one of us to not get a regular starter Pokemon."

"Wait," said Lucas, "why don't we just do rock, paper, scissors?" They all agreed to this and paired up, Lucas with Derek and Alex with Quinton.

"Rock, paper, scissors shoot!" they all said, Alex had rock while Quinton had paper.

Alex did not like this because he wanted to get a starter Pokemon from this new region that was normally handed out, not some backup one for, as they put it, the odd one out. It all came down to if Alex could beat Derek, because he lost as well, the loser of the two losers would not get the normal starter, and would have to take the extra.

"Rock..." the first thrust came down, "Paper..." both trainers closed there is in anticipation and wanted to be surprised of who the winner was, "Scissors..." things were boiling down to the last word, "Shoot!" Both opened there eyes, both saw the winning hand, a hand making the scissors symbol, and this hand belonged to Alex.

"Yes! Oh my god yes! That came so close!" said Alex in an excited voice that was way unnecessary. Derek looked a bit down but he let it go real quick.

"That's alright, just as long as Teresa doesn't get a starter," he teased. These were moments when Alex felt like punching Derek, just to let you know.

Later that evening after hanging out with his friends and visiting his Pokemon at the lab Alex came home for dinner. Since tomorrow was a special occasion his family actually headed out to Viridian City for a nice dinner restaurant. While waiting for their food Alex and Teresa's parents showed them a slip of paper.

"Prof. Oak came by today to bring us this paper, it has the three starter Pokemon of Unova, the first one is Snivy, the grass starter," said there dad, pointing to a picture of a green snake with arms & legs, and a curved pointed nose, "then there is Tepig, the fire starter," he moved his finger to a brown and orange pig with a big smile and a curly tail, "and finally Oshawott, the water starter." He moved his finger to the last Pokemon, a light blue mammal with a white head, two little fangs on the top of it's mouth, short, dark blue, pointed ears, small white arms, dark feet, and a bivalve shell on it's front.

"Since there are five of you going, and only three of these starters, you and the others will have to decide which three get the regular starters, and remember try not to argue."

"Don't worry, we decided in a nice, calm way to find out who wouldn't get one and that was Derek," said Alex. But then even though they didn't plan on Teresa getting one of the regular three they still had to take in account what she wanted.

"Hm, well, Snivy doesn't look that nice, or cute, Oshawott and Tepig do, but I've seen your starters Alex and they might start out cute, but as they evolve they look nasty, so I'll take the other extra they're giving out," said Teresa. Hearing this made Alex relieved about not having to deal with any future problems, so he let out a very small sigh.

"Why'd you do that?" asked Teresa.

"Oh, well my food is a bit spicy, so I needed to breath out so my mouth would cool down."

"But our food isn't here."

"Uh, you know, I actually have no idea why I did that to be honest," said Alex, who scratched the back of his head, laughed a little, and blushed.

"Weird," muttered his sister, and turned as the food just then came.

They left after eating and headed back home, which as soon as they got back there Alex ran up to his room even though his legs were tired. This whole day he did not have a chance to pack so now he had to or else be late or just miss the whole thing, (in the worst case scenario). He packed his duffel bag with clothes, a toothbrush and toothpaste, leftover and some unused potions from before, and money. He was heading back downstairs for food to pack when he passed by Teresa's room, where she was packing. He couldn't help but gently laugh at what she was packing.

Teresa had at least three and a half filled bags, she did have clothes in there but she practically crammed her wardrobe in there, along with almost all of her toys (mostly plushies), and other unnecessary things, but nothing important.

"Hang on a second, you are packing it all wrong, you can't pack your entire room into those bags, it is ridiculous and it will slow you down. Let me help you," offered Alex. So after giving her a lesson in how to downsize things and taking out some clothes and other things (but in a long argument she won and kept the stuffed chibi Pokemon toys in there) she was almost done. We then both went down to pack some travel food.

Next morning after a quick breakfast of cereal Teresa and I headed out. It was unusually foggy this morning, but we made it to Prof. Oak's lab with no problem. When we got there Quinton and Derek were already there, but for some very strange reason Lucas wasn't. A short while late Prof. Oak came out.

"Ah, there you are, I see Lucas is missing, but we can give him some time, now, do all of you know who is getting what Pokemon?" asked the Professor.

"We think so, I know Derek and Teresa are the two getting different Pokemon," said Alex.

"Well that is good, no arguing is a good thing... so wh- Oh! Lucas, there you are, I know I'm rushing right now but let's get into the jeep, I have to drive you to the airport now or we'll miss the flight."

We quickly found our seats in the jeep and drove off, we were heading to a new region, but not just that, a new journey, a new horizon on our future.
