The day is here. After we move to Valencia Island from Celedon City I am walking to get a pokemon from Professor Ivy. I knew that if we stayed in Kanto I would have gotten a Charmander, Bulbasaur, or a Squirtle. I don't know who the starter pokemon here are.
As I enter her lab I see Professor Ivy drinking tea.
"Hello, you must be Kai."
"Yup!"
"Are you familiar with the Orange Island Starter Pokemon?"
"No!"
Ivy took out three pokeballs.
"You can choose the fire pokemon, Ponyta." She throws a pokeball and Ponyta comes out.
"Or the grass pokemon, Oddish." She throws another pokeball and Oddish comes out.
"Lastly you could pick the water pokemon, Poliwag." Poliwag came out of the last pokeball she threw.
Poliwag walked over and grabbed my leg. I guess the decision was made.

Outside Ivy's Lab:
"Now if you want to compete in the Pokemon League you must get 28 badges. Eight in Kanto, Eight in Johto, Eight in Hoenn, Four in Orange Islands. Sign up at the Mikan Island Pokemon Center." Ivy told me.
"Hey! How do I get to Mikan Island?"
"Swim," Ivy joked.

Valencia Island Pokemon Center:
"You are lucky! A ferry leaves for Mikan Island in an hour. You can buy tickets from me for $10."
I paid Nurse Joy.

Home:
I decided to stop by home before leaving. "Oh, goodness! You are going to Mikan Island! Becky and Cissy are still friends. She is a tough gym leader. Speaking of which Becky sent us an E- mail." Mom gave me the E-mail.

Dear Family,
I have arrived in Hoenn and now have 21 badges because I beat Norman at Pettleburg Gym. Bellossom and Alakazam are doing great! Kai, say hi to Cissy for me!
See ya soon
Becky


My younger sister Lilly ran up to me.
"What pokemon did you get? What pokemon did you get?"
I held out my pokeball. "Go, Poliwag."
"YOU GOT A POLIWAG! I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A PONYTA."
"Well you can get a Ponyta when you become a trainer."
Then I realized the boat left in ten minutes.

Dock:
"Woah, Poliwag we made it!"
Poliwag looked tired so I put him in his pokeball.
Then I boarded the ship.

On the S.S. Mike:
I went to my room. Once I entered I noticed one boy and one girl sitting on my bed.
"Excuse me but this is my room so please leave."
"Not unless you give us your pokemon," Said the girl.
"What? Who do you think you are?"
"Annie."
"Oakley."
"Together we make Team Rocket.
