Jason Gets His First Pokemon

"Jason, get down here right now. You have to eat breakfast before you go see Professor Oak!" Jason's mom called.

Jason was an average 10 year old boy on the continent of Kanto. He was very excited because he was now able to become an official Pokemon trainer. However, no matter how important it was to him to get a Pokemon, the Indigo League Pokemon Championship was on.

It was the final round, and Lance was using a Dragonite and his opponent was using his Nidoking. "Hyper Beam, now!" Lance called to his Dragonite.

Dragonite was a huge dragon pokemon. Dragonite opened it's mouth to unleash a hyper beam attack.

"Nidoking, show Lance your hyper beam," his oppenent said. Nidoking was a large purple pokemon that was very intimidating. He started the attack just as Dragonite had.

Both pokemon shot the attack at each other at the same time. The two hyper beams collided in the middle of the stadium, however, Dragonite's was stronger and it hit Nidoking square in the chest. It knocked it out instantly.

"I lost," the opponent said.

"Jason, get down here right now, or I won't let you get a Pokemon!" Jason's mom called again.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Jason mumbled as he walked downstairs. When he walked into the kitchen, a plate of bacon and eggs was waiting for him on the counter. He tasted it at it was ice cold. This sure does taste bad, he thought. So as not to act rude, he ate and then went to find his mom.

"Oh, you're finally here. I hope you enjoyed your breakfast. You have a big day ahead of you," his mom said smiling. "My baby is finally going to become a Pokemon trainer!"

"OK, OK," Jason said. His mom was so embarrassing, even when there was no one else around. "Well, I better be off. Don't want all of the good Pokemon to be taken," Jason said while he was leaving.

Jason grabbed his bike and started off to Proffessor Oak's Lab. Jason lived in a small town called Pallet Town. There wasn't much to see there, but new trainers came from all around just to see Professor Oak and get a new Pokemon from him. Jason had been waiting for this moment a long time. Professor Oak usually gave out three different kinds of Pokemon: a Charmander, Squirtle, or a Bulbasar.

Jason had been thinking for the past year what Pokemon he wanted to receive. He finally decided just last week that he wanted a Squirtle, the water type Pokemon. Jason really hoped that Professor Oak still had a Squirtle left.

It was about 10 minutes later when he came to Professor Oak's lab. It was a large building, (the largest in Pallet Town, at least.) with a large dome top. Jason walked inside to find tons of the latest Pokemon researching equipment. Jason looked around, but Professor Oak was no where to be seen. He saw a lab assistant, however.

"Excuse me, where is Professor Oak?" Jason asked.

"He is doing field research right now," the lab assistant replied. "I think you'll be able to find him on Route 1."

"Thanks a lot," Jason called as he ran out of the lab. Jason rode his bike to the other side of town out into the tall grass. It wasn't long before he spotted Professor Oak studying the habits of a Pidgey. "Um, Professor Oak?" Jason called.

The Pidgey immediately flew away. "Oh, dang it," Oak said. "Oh, hi!" he said once he noticed Jason standing there. "You must be Jason, the new trainer. I'm so sorry I was away from the lab. Let us go back there right now!"

Professor Oak led Jason down back to his lab. They didn't say much on the way back. Oak was really thinking about all of his observations about Pidgeys. Oak was the most famous scientist in Kanto and he really wanted to uphold his reputation.. He had to remember everything he had found out.

Once they reached the lab, the entered inside and walked into the back room. "This is where I keep all of the Pokemon I give to new trainers," Oak told Jason. "I like to give out Charamanders, Squirtles, and Bulbasaurs because they are so easy to raise. You must choose one of these now, because two other trainers are coming later."

"I already know which one I want," Jason said. "I want a Squirtle!"

Professor Oak walked over to a table in the room and picked up a Poke Ball. It immediately opened and Squirtle popped out. Squirtle was a small, blue, turtle that stood on it's hind legs. Jason still didn't understand how Pokemon could go inside those balls. They must be magical creatures or something.

"Here you go," Professor Oak. "Your very own Squirtle."

"Thank you so much," Jason said. He was so happy to finally have a Pokemon, he was nearly jumping up and down. He couldn't wait to go to the different cities of Kanto to battle other trainers, collect new Pokemon, and reciecve all 8 of the gym badges.

"You might want to head up to Viridian City first. The gym is probably still closed there, but there are plenty of weak Pokemon on the way and you might even find a couple of trainers to face there," Oak said.

"Thanks again, and I'll see you around Professor Oak," Jason said as he walked out of the lab.

The first thing Jason did was go back home to show his mom his new Squirtle. She was really proud of him. He then went up to his room and turned on his computer. He withdrew a potion from his item box. The potion materialized on a machine connected to his PC. He put right into his backpack. Don't know when I'll need this, he thought.

Jason said good bye to his mom and walked onto Route 1 on his way to Viridian City. He was so excited he didn't notice thetwo eyes watching him from the bushes.
