"Hello. My name is Professor Birch, and welcome to the world of Pokémon."

As I sat in the truck with absolutely no adult supervision, bouncing around with all of the objects that my family was bringing to their house, I wondered why Professor Birch kept rattling on about things that all 1-year olds know. He even knew that I was the son of a Gym Leader, and yet he was talking to me about how Pokémon battle each other. I've known this for years!

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

Wow. Professor Birch didn't even know my gender. I guessed Dad didn't even bother to share my gender with the Professor. I answered by saying I was a boy. Of all the insults, the picture I had to click to confirm I was a boy was a picture of me! Why did he ask my gender if he obviously already knew it?

"What is your name?"

Dad didn't bother to tell him even that my name was Orlando!

"Your adventure is starting! Get ready to step into the world of Pokémon!"

I thought as the door to the outside opened that I've been living in this world for my whole life, and it's only the Hoenn region that's new. The door opens and I step through.

I walked into my new house in Littleroot Town. Apparently, there was only one other family living in the town. Small town living, much? Anyways, when I got in the house my mom told me how she was sorry for me to ride in the moving truck. Why did she tell me to go in the truck instead of travelling with her on ahead? She also told me how the nice Machoke are helping me move, and told me to go set the time on my clock. Was she really so busy she couldn't even set a clock correctly? I decided not to think about that and headed upstairs to set the clock.

I went upstairs, set the clock, and walked back downstairs. Mom told me to go check in on the neighbours. I walked next door, and the professor's daughter, May, started prattling on about how she wanted to have a new friend. I guess that's what happens when you've lived your life with only your parents and a Pokémon to keep you company. Once you meet someone your own age, you don't know what to do. After May finally finished talking, I decided to explore my new hometown.

I covered all of the town in basically half a minute, and then I decided to explore out of town a bit.

As I walked onto Route 101, I saw and heard Professor Birch screaming for help. He was cornered by a Poochyena.

"Quick! Use one of the Poké Balls in my bag to battle this Poochyena!"

"You're a Pokémon researcher. Surely you must know how to handle a Poochyena?"

"I unwisely decided to learn about the Pokémon farthest from Littleroot Town first, and I'm just learning about Poochyena. Hurry up!"

I decided to choose Mudkip, and I started battling the Poochyena.

I swiftly dispatched it with a couple of Water Gun attacks, and I talked to Professor Birch.

"Come to my lab, Orlando. I need to talk to you.", he said.

I got to Professor Birch's lab, and he told me that I could keep his Mudkip.

"But isn't this an incredibly rare Pokémon, and it's even a female one, which is super-rare. Are you sure you don't want it?"

"I've already studied it, and I have 10 other female Mudkip. Just take it."

"Alright, what's the catch?"

"Every Pokémon you meet, you have to study, and record your findings in the Pokédex."

"How will I meet enough Pokémon to help you?" I asked him.

"Convince your mom to let you go, Orlando."

We both knew my mom, and she was easy to convince.

"But I just got here! You're making me leave my new hometown already?"

"May's leaving too, and there are no other kids in the town.", he said in a pleading voice.

"Alright, fine."

I went to go talk to Mom, but she was waiting outside the Lab.

"You've met Professor Birch? That's great! We'll all get to know each other really well."

"Mom, I want to go on a journey. Professor Birch gave me this Mudkip and a Pokédex. Is it okay if I go?"

"Orlando, of course! You can't stay here forever."

"Okay, bye?", I said as I left Littleroot Town.

"Oh, wait!", she said. "Here's a new function for your PokéNav Plus that lets you check which Pokémon are in a certain region. Bye!"

"Bye, then."

"Wait! Remember to treat your Pokémon well."

"Okay, bye.", I said as I ran down Route 101 to stop her from talking any more.

So, what do you think? This is my first comedy series and I hope I did a good job.
