Hello Readers,

I'm just getting back into writing, after a couple I wasn't so pleased with. The story will most likely have some sporadic updates. This story is going to be a Syoc (Send Your own Character), as I lack the patience to make many. The form is located at the bottom. These chapters are Experimental and are subject to change. Opinions are highly appreciated. This was inspired by; Storm Warning: The Rise of a Champion, by: Atomitrox, Pokemon 0 by: Afroshock, and The Sun Soul by: 50caliberchaos. All of which are exceptional stories and I encourage you to check their stories if you haven't already. Also I would love it if I could get ideas for two faction names. These factions will be opposing each other as well as a third unknown faction (known to me). But please no cliché names like Team Aqua and Team Magma

Thank you to aronpuma for helping me, and beta-ing my story.

Disclaimer: As you can probably tell, I don't own Pokémon or I wouldn't be posting this story here. If there are any similarities between any stories they are completely coincidental.

I don't think I've ever felt so awkward as I do now, standing in line next to a bunch of thirteen year olds, who might I add were staring at me. Before I get too far into this awkward monologue I should probably point out that I am seventeen, on the cusp of manhood, and still only now standing for my very first Pokémon. Thanks to a few mother related circumstances that set me back four years, otherwise I would be standing there with kids my own age. Possibly getting ready to set out with one or two of them, But thanks to her I'm traveling by myself, So 'Gee Thanks Mom'. The sarcasm that was spread throughout that sentence was enough to cause me to snort with amusement. With that I brought my thoughts to a close as the professor who had started his yearly speech gave me a stern look.

"… and now I am happy to present to you, your starter pack." and with the finish of his yearly speech he allowed the kids to start choosing their Backpacks. I figure they do this to be fair, and efficient. Having their Pokémon, five spare pokeballs, a potion, and their pokedex all in one item certainly does have its benefits. Finally when it was my turn, I went up to the last backpack and put it on. I figure that so many of the kids would pull their Pokémon out right away, and that several fights would break out. As of right now I was correct. Nearly every thirteen year old had their Pokémon out, and as I had thought several of them were fighting. Quickly escaping from the mess in the laboratory I made a beeline for my house. I was nowhere stupid enough to stop anywhere near that lab, with all those trainers battling there. It was just a disaster waiting to happen. I let my mind wander as I continued down countless streets. What will it be like out in the wilderness? As kids we were all confined to the city's walls, never to go out of them. Will all the Pokémon be hostile? The forests and grasslands brimming with them? My thoughts continued along that line until I reached my house. It was nothing extraordinary, just a simple one story house with three bedrooms. The master bedroom for my parents, one of the two identical rooms for me. The other if for my parents Pokémon they caught when they were young. Quickly I sprinted to the front door, hoping to catch my parents in their final preparations for their journey to Johto. As I threw the door open, I listened carefully for any hint of life inside. Sadly there was no sound other than the faint whirr of the refrigerator. Sullenly as I closed the door, before I moved to the kitchen table where they would leave notes when they went out when I was younger. As I rounded the corner my eyes landed on a sword that was lying next to the note I expected. Quickly walking over to the table, I picked up the note.

'

'

'Aaron,

Sorry that we couldn't be there to watch you leave for your journey. We did however get you that sword to help protect yourself. We'll try to get ahold of you when we get back so you can stop in to see us.

Love, Mom and Dad.'

After reading the note I picked up and unsheathed the sword. As soon as the sword was out of the sheath I instantly recognized it as a Katana. Simple and Sharp, Just how any blade should be. Sheathing the sword I set it back onto the table and pull of the backpack I got from the lab. Figuring I should check to see what all I was given I started pulling the Items. The first Item, a small hatchet, to cut down trees and to double as a butchering utensil. The next two items were books, the one on top being about survival out in the wilderness. Next came five unused pokeballs and a potion, and finally my starter. Gripping the pokeball in my hand I contemplate releasing the Pokémon in the house. Coming to the conclusion that my starter will be more inclined to flee rather than anything else I moved to the next room over. The living room while being the place my family hung out together was the room least populated with furniture.

I never really understood this myself, but I never questioned it either. With a small shrug to myself, I expanded the pokeball and gave it a small toss to the center of the room. The form that came out terrified me. It was a small form, coming up to my only knee caps. It had the body of an avian, and its feathers stretched out to its sides. The pose that it struck while it materialized, it was the species and its reputation as both a baby and an adult. It was a damned skarmory, why they choose this as a starter a may never know, why I didn't return the damn thing before it turned around is another good question, because as soon as the chick saw me it screeched at me then preceded to jump at me. I was able to evade most of it but its outstretched wings clipped my hands and made me drop its pokeball. The damned thing was vicious in its first attack, not only was it able to cause the ball to be dropped but it also left a shallow cut on the side of my hand. Before I could concentrate on the slight pain my hand was in or what the little chick had done to me, an even sharper pain came from my calf. This pain was able to bring me to my good knee. I quickly focused my attention to the bird who seemed to be getting ready pounce, reacting quickly I grabbed the nearest thing I could reach, a nearby lamp, and without thinking I swung with enough might to put a teen my age to the ground. The little bird, which was in mid-air when I swung, couldn't change its course before it lamp hit it, sending it right through the T.V. giving it an electrical shock.

What felt like hours just sitting there realizing what I had done was only a few seconds. Before I finally got up rushed to the pokeball and returned the bird before I was out the door and rushing to the poke center nearest to my house. When I got there I rushed to the counter ignoring the other trainers, I opened my mouth, but what would I tell them? That I got angery at the skarmory because it wouldn't quit attacking me. That I hit it through my parent's television? I was thankfully saved when the nurse spoke up.

"Sir, If you can hand over you pokeball. I can heal your Pokémon." She stated while holding her hand out.

"Er, Thanks?" I said slightly embarrassed that I hadn't said anything first. I was about to go sit down when I remembered that my companion, despite being young, was in fact dangerous. "Um, Nurse. I'd be careful the Pokémon is a skarmory chick." I winced at how pathetic I sounded.

"Oh thank you for warning me, I'll make sure to keep your chick in a room by itself."

"Nurse that guys Bleeding!" a shout erupted from behind me. Turning I looked for the person that was bleeding. Just as I finished my turn my adrenalin wore off, that coupled with the onslaught of pain and my now known bloodless. The world went black.
