~Pokemon~

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon at all. The characters are NOT mine.

Note: This is my first fanfic, so please do not judge me. I do accept advise on how to make my fanfiction better, but no comments about how this story sucks. I will NOT tolerate it. Now, enjoy :)

(Also, I haven't watched the show, but I have the game -Pokemon SoulSilver- So if you have any advice on the characters too, I would appreciate it. Oh, yeah, and I don't have the best memory, so I might be changing the story-line, or switching some events around)

"Lyra!" A voice called, waking me up from my deep slumber. I snuggled deeper into the warm bed, pulling the covers over my head.

The voice got louder, "Lyra!"

I grumbled, clearly not ready to get up, but my mom turned on the lights and pulled off the covers.

"Time to get up," She simply said, her eyes locking onto mine. "But mom… It's too early," I complained, and tried to grab the covers from her grasp.

"Did you forget?" My mom asked, raising a brow.

"Forget what?" I asked, confused. Then it hit me- My mom told me last night that Professor Elm wanted to see me today. "Oh yeah," I mumbled, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

She smiled, and handed me my clothes. "Hurry, you'll be late" She replied, and closed my door on the way out of my room. Today was the day I would start my journey as a Pokemon trainer. Putting on my clothes, which was a shirt and overalls, but they went only a foot past my waist. Then, came my knee-high socks and regular shoes, plus I put my hair up in two pig tails. Last of all, came my hat. Slinging on my bag, I opened the door and walked down the stairs. Once I was at the living room, my mother gave me my Poke-gear; which was my cell phone and a map.

"Thanks," I said, smiling at her. I was very nervous, and my stomach was churning. "Good luck!" My mom called as I walked out of the door, sighing.

Looking to my right was where Professor Elm's lab was, and I hesitated before actually walking over. Suddenly, a blue pokemon, a Marill, came running up to me. It squealed, and my best friend, its trainer, Ethan, was running towards us. "Marill!" He said, and looked at me. "Thanks for stopping him, Lyra," He thanked me, then looked down at his pokemon. "Come on, Marill…" With that, he led it away. Well, that was a start. I continued on my way to the lab's front door, but this time I saw something red. Someone, a boy, with red hair and red eyes was looking into the window. At first I was curious, but then just shrugged it off and went inside.

"Lyra!" Professor Elm greeted, waving to me. I walked over to him slowly, trying to take in all my surroundings. It looked like a lab alright. When I got to him, he explained what he wanted me to do, "I need you to go to Mr. Pokemon. He's been studying this egg, and he wants me to look at it. You can use one of these pokemon in the three poke-balls to protect you during your way over there"

I looked at the poke-balls he was pointing at, and he told me which one was which. I could chose a Chikorita, which is a grass-type, a Cyndaquil, a fire-type, or a Totodile, a water-type. I liked them all, but I chose the Chikorita. Chikorita smiled at me, and squirmed in my arms. I put him down, then turned to Professor Elm.

"Good luck, Lyra" He told me, watching me leave his lab. Before I left, one of the lab assistants stopped me and gave me some potions. "They'll help keep your pokemon alive," The man explained, and I nodded.

My journey starts here.

So, how was it? I will be making more chapters later!
