Disclaimer! I do not own pokemon, I only own this fanfiction, peace out! So heres Chapter 1!
My eyes flew open and I looked at the clock, 6 o'clock. Still? Impossible, it felt like hours, but I'm happy anyway, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I crawled out of my wooden bed and stretched feeling my heart thumping with anxiety and excitement.
I dressed in my usual attire; blue overalls, red sweater, white stockings, and my favourite poofy white hat. I observed myself in the mirror, adjusting my hat and cautiously tip-toed down the stairs. I peered around the corner. "Mom?" I whispered, and went forth to turn on the lights. My eyes adjusted to the bright light, and saw no one was there. Mom wouldn't appreciate it if I was up this early, but I couldn't help it, it was too hard to sleep knowing what laid in store today.
I walked quietly to the fridge and grabbed some cake from the freezer. I licked my lips, a tasty treat to start this awesome day.
"Freeze!" A voice shouted behind me.
I stiffened clutching the cake container in my arms.
"Put the cake down and put your hands up" the voice said.
I placed the cake on the counter and turned toward the voice, my hands raised above my head.
"What do you think you are doing missy?" I put my hands down "C'mon Mom, I was hungry" I objected.
My mom walked across the kitchen and placed the frozen desert back in the freezer.
"Cake for breakfast?" she accused staring at me in disbelief. I shrugged my hair bouncing as I did.
My mom sighed and she took out an apple and handed it to me.
"Here eat this instead" she told me
"Hopefully you make better food choices on your Pokémon journey" she added.
I smiled taking a bite from my fruit. Yes the Pokémon Journey, I couldn't wait! Professor Elm had promised me one of his rare Pokémon to keep and to start out my Pokémon adventure.
"Don't worry mom" I said between bites. She yawned and sat on of the blue kitchen chairs. "Lyra why don't you go back to bed?" she asked me "Its six in the morning and the lab isn't due to open for a few hours."
I stared at her in disbelief; she knew I have been longing for this day ever since I was little. And now I was allowed to go on my own Pokémon adventure, because my Mother had promised me when I turned fourteen I could go forth on my journey. Which was last week, hence the leftover cake.
"Mother, you know how badly I waited for this day to come!" I told her "I just couldn't sleep at all."
My mom smiled and rolled her eyes "How could I forget? You nag me every day about this, which reminds me..." she started getting up from the kitchen chair and walking into the living room.
She came back a second later with something in her hand.
"Open your hand"
I stared at her in confusion but obeyed her and opened up my palm.
"I wanted to give you something for you journey" she told me and handed me a pokéball.
I gasped; she got me a Pokémon? I observed the ball in my hands. My mind started swirling with ideas which one it could be. "Go ahead let him out" she told me.
I nodded, still at lost for words. I threw the ball at the ground and a red beam shot out of it. The red beamed formed a fox like shape and soon later revealed to be a small brown pokemon with large brown ears and a bushy tail.
"Eve!" it squeaked looking at up me.
It was the cutesiest thing I have ever seen.
"Mother...." I trailed off looking at the Pokémon in admiration. "Thank you, so much" I finished my sentence and I ran up to her and gave her a big hug. My newly given Pokémon pawed at our feet "Eve Eveee!"
I knocked on the old wooden door and waiting for an answer. I heard a grumble and some words then the door opened to reveal a man with short brown hair.
"Hello? Oh it's you Lyra" the man greeted me. I nodded.
"Ethan's upstairs if you want to go and see him, he's playing with his Pokémon" he starts to laugh "It seem that's the only thing he does. Come in"
I thanked him, entered the house and climbed the old ragged stairs. I heard laughing and I opened Ethan's room door. Inside Ethan was sitting in the middle of the room; his Marril joyously was running around him. It took a moment for him to notice me.
"Oh hey Lyra!" he smiled at me, Marril bounced up and down.
Ethan was best friend since we were little kids, we both shared love for Pokémon, and Ethan had gotten his last year. I was happy for him but I was so envious!
I smiled "Hey Ethan, how's Marril doing?"
Marril looked up from the call of his name.
"He's doing awesome! Actually he has just mastered bubble beam." Ethan announced proudly.
"That's great!" I told him.
I mentally rolled my eyes; Ethan was the vain kind of person. Last week he called me on my pokégear to tell me his Marril beat a magikarp.
"So... you're getting your started Pokémon today huh?" Ethan asked me which snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, but actually got a new one this morning!" I told him excitedly, taking out the pokeball.
That was mostly the reason I came over to show him my new member of my family.
"Whoa, really!? Let's see!" his eyes sparkled with curiosity.
I nodded excitedly and threw the pokeball at the ground. Eevee came out of the ball and blinked looking around vigorously. I smiled beaming at it, I looked up and Ethan to see his response. My heart dropped when he started laughing.
Laughing!
"W-why are you laughing?" I asked him disappointed.
Eevee trotted to my feet and sat. Ethan stopped laughing and looked at Eevee which was now curled at my feet.
"I don't know... it looks so... small, and weak." He told me chuckling. I scooped Eevee in my arms.
"Even if he is, he is not weak!" I said glaring at him.
Ethan shrugged and went back to play with Marril.
"Hmph" I snorted and looked down at Eevee.
It looked up at me with big brown eyes and it snuggled me.
"I got to give you a nickname..." I told the brown creature.
"Eve Eevee" it barked struggling out of my grasp and landed on the floor.
It looked determined to get something, and I watched him crawl under Ethan's bed and then appeared again trying to pull something out. This caught Ethan's attention.
"What's your Pokémon doing under my bed?" he asked me.
I shook my head. Eevee dragged out a red cloth which appeared to be a bandana
. "Hey!" Ethan shouted at it and got up and tries to grab it.
Eevee jumped out of the way and started running around the room the bandana hanging from his mouth. Marril bounced up and down happily and chased Eevee, along with Ethan. I watched this scene in laughter and also admiration at eevee's speed and agility. Then finally Eevee leapt into my arms and smiled.
"Eeeveeee!" it cooed.
Ethan stopped in front of me and pointed at Eevee.
"Your Pokémon just stole my bandana!" he hissed at it.
Marril jumped happily behind him his tail bouncing up and down.
"Aww let him keep it" I said stroking its fur.
Ethan rolled his eyes at me. "Fine, he can keep it, but you owe me a new bandana Lyra!"
"Since when do you wear bandana's anyway Ethan?" I questioned him.
"Uh.... when I want!" he said then looked at his watch. "Hey Lyra it's already nine thirty, are you going to head toward the lab?"
I gasped The lab wouldn't open until ten, but I wanted to get there as soon as it opened
"Already!? C'mon Eevee lets go!" I held the small fox in my arms "Bye Ethan!" I called to him and raced down the stairs and out the door.
I slowed down once I got outside and set down Eevee, the red bandana still in his mouth.
"You were pretty fast back there" I commented bending down and tying the bandana around his neck.
"I bet you could run for miles"
Eevee purred in delight. That's it! I know what I'm going to call him!
"You know what Eevee? I'm going to call you Miles!" I told him.
Eevee stopped chasing his tail and looked up at me.
"Eevee!!!" It jumped happily in the air.
