AAADDDAAAMMM! Oh Arceus what's happening. She's never woke me this early before. The digital clock beside my bed showed the time of 07:48.

"AAADDDAAAMMM!"

"IIIMMM CCCOOOMMMIING!"

I got out of bed and walked down the stairs. I instantly smelled the aroma of bacon frying and walked twice as fast.

I walked into the kitchen and I saw my mom making a fry up while Electabuzz was sitting in a chair.

"Any reason why breakfast is so early mom?" I said in a tired voice.

"A fourteen year old like you should be able to wake up at this time without moaning but if you must know I've got a surprise for you".

"What kind of surprise mom?"

" Would it really be a surprise if I told you now?" I thought of what it could possibly be. My birthday was two months ago and there is no major holidays around the corner to receive gifts from.

My mom put a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me. A quick thanks and I was wolfing it down. Halfway through swallowing and I realized something.

"Why is Electabuzz here if dads gone to work?" I said puzzled.

"Because there is going to be a security check at the power plant and the inspector has set out a requirement for there to be no pokemon present in the building" said my mom.

"That's Pokeist"

"Don't use words like that, they don't even exist, there is a good reason why this has happened."

I got up and put my empty plate in the sink.

"Wow you ate that fast. A new record if I'm correct" said Mom.

"Mom bacon waits for nobody" I said and then dashed back up the stairs.

"Adam go shower and then get dressed". I stopped in my tracks walked back down the stairs and looked my mom in the eye and said,

"Are you actually being serious? Its not even 8 yet".

"It's all part of the surprise sweetie. You have to leave the house early". Hearing that I dashed back upstairs grabbed a towel and climbed into the shower. That means the surprise involves going somewhere. I quickly showered and put on some jeans and a red t-shirt.

I walked down stairs and sat down to watch some TV. There was some show on about a cool pokemon contest in the Sinnoh region.

"Adam" said my mom suddenly." I was going to wait until your father got home but that will be another 4 hours and I'm pretty sure you want to know what the surprise is now so I'll tell you. Today you're going to get a pokemon.

"Mom please tell me you're not joking" I said shocked.

"Course I'm not joking honey, it was going to be a birthday present. Me and your father paid for it for your birthday but all the pokemon had been taken by other trainers. Professor Oak called me last night to tell me he got 3 of each of the starters about a week ago. He could not tell be about them then because he had to test their conditions form being hatched only a month before".

"Mom, have I ever told you how much I love you but when can I go to Pallet town". Mom then turned around and said,

"Well you're going to have to take the short cut to Route 2. Then you can head through Viridian city which will lead you to Route 1 then Pallet town. So you are going to have to leave soon if you want to get there by noon".

"Okay bye mom" I said and ran for the door.

"Hey Adam" shouted mom.

"Yes mom"

"Just be safe all right".

"Okay" I said and then dashed out the house. I stepped outside my house into the morning light of Cerulean city. I ran through the streets and past houses waving to old lady Jess along the way. I reached the edge of the city in a few minutes.

I saw the tall grass and trees start to from the start of Route 5. I started to jog along the path until I got to a small clearing in the trees which I went through. After climbing over bushes for a while I got to a wide path. The path had 7 Pokemon trainers walking up and down supposedly waiting for a battle. The first one had a yellow baseball cap on backwards with a yellow t-shirt with blue rings around the sleeves and was wearing blue shorts. As soon as he saw me he ran up to me and shouted

"Hey you. You look weak, how about a battle". He got a tiny pokeball out which instantly sprouted to full size.

"Sorry to disappoint mate but I don't have a pokemon YET! But I'm going to get one today". I said triumphantly. He shrunk his pokeball and placed it back into his pocket and said

"Well if you're telling the truth and you are going to get a pokemon, battle me because I will be around this area for a few more days before I move on again".

"Oh I will" I said while walking off. I ran through the rest of the route and saw a sign saying Viridian ahead. I ran until I saw the grass cut off and the beginning of concrete. I walked slowly through the city taking in the sights. There were a couple of houses that looked like they had been there a long time. I gazed up at a huge building with a huge sign saying Viridian city pokemon gym.

I walked further through the city until I saw another sign saying Route 1 ahead. I ran for Route 1, which had some trees sprouting along the side of it. I walked around the tall grass knowing that it would be a bad choice to walk through it with no pokemon to protect me. I saw a little boy jumping over a tall ledge on the way. I finally reached the beginning of the town. The town was relatively small with just over ten houses. I also saw a big building with a sign saying Oak Pokemon Lab. I had reached my destination.
