Pokémon Journey

Chapter 1: The Beginning

This is my chance to shine; I will become a Pokémon master! No matter what happens; no matter how dangerous a road is, no matter how high the cliff goes, no matter how far the sea stretches, I will defeat everybody in my way and prove to the world that I, Sabrina Oaken of Pallet Town, am worthy of becoming a Pokémon master!!

A young brown haired girl stepped off of the pier that connected to the land on which hers and Gary Oak's house was apart of, as well as Professor Oak's lab. The weather was normal for a day in Pallet Town; the sky was blue and few clouds would stroll along. The sun was high in the sky but didn't seem to make the perfectly beautiful day feel as hot as someone would have thought. There was little wind but when one came it felt as if it could sweep one off one's feet and soar in the sky without any care in the world. The girl stretched with a smile on her tan peach skin that was smooth and had no sign of aging for an enormous amount of time even though she was only fourteen. She had an hourglass figure and would have been mistaken for being older because of her maturity in body and mind. Her arms and legs were slender and long, her brown hair reached to the end of her back, her fingernails were painted a soft red that seemed to shine when the sun hit them, her eyes were a beautiful hazel color but had a green touch to them. She looked around at her hometown: a small peaceful place with no sign of danger. Movements made her glance up at Gary's window. There, tall and obviously every girl's dream guy stood the famous Gary Oak. His eyes seemed to scan the ocean that he looked upon, completely ignoring Sabrina who stood directly in front of it. Sabrina blinked a couple of times as she continued to stare at him. What was the big deal about this guy? Sure he was cute and a great Pokemon Trainer, but he was a jerk. His fan girls always swooned when he came around yet he treated every person like they were the dirt he walked upon. Sabrina had known him since she first moved to Pallet Town at the age of 6 after a fire had destroyed her old home. He always liked to pick on her because she was a loner and a bit of a braniac. Finally, his eyes looked at her and a disgusted look came upon his face as he scoffed and turned around and back into his dark room. Sabrina growled and looked away with her fists clenched. She hated him, no…she despised him! She had never done a single thing to him but only try to be his friend. She was shy and wasn't social but something about Gary made her want to try. For starters she had approached him when he was alone so he wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen around her; that didn't work. Next she had complimented him on his battling skills but he simply scoffed and called her a loser and walked off; another failure. She had even given him a yellow and green type of yin yang pendant. He had accepted it, with no gratitude whatsoever, and she had no idea where he left its fate at. He probably flushed it down the toilet, or even gave it to his Houndoom to feast on. She thought disgustedly as she began to walk to the forest that lied behind her home. As she walked, Gary watched her from his window once more. He blinked slowly with his arms crossed and sighed softly. She made no sound as she walked on the padded dirt road. She stopped, halfway from her home, and looked up at the sky. She brought two fingers into her mouth, blew in deeply and gave one loud whistle that seemed to echo for miles away. Not even five seconds passed and a large roaring Charizard came flying down with a loud THUD when he landed. Sabrina smiled and patted his neck gently.

"There you are ya old lug!" she said teasingly. He growled in annoyance but kept a smile on his loving face. She giggled and patted his neck again. "What were doing out here?" she asked. He gave her a small growl as a reply. She nodded. "Looking for more berries huh?" he nodded. "Well I thank you for that buddy! We're running low and we need some more. Let's go pay a visit in the Berry Forest!" she said excitedly. He roared happily and nodded, already starting to flap his wings. She laughed and quickly hopped onto his back and he sped off into the sky. A dark figure hid behind a tree and laughed,

"Well well, to the Berry Forest you say? Perfect place for a Pokemon ambush" it said in a sinister voice and disappeared.
