Eilish's journey

Chapter 1

In the region of Hoenn, many trainers were on their travels throughout the different towns, catching creatures called pokémon, and training them. Trainers raised, battled and trained pokémon, using them to battle other trainers, eventually reaching the Hoenn league.

Ten years had passed since Ash Ketchum had became a pokémon master, all his old friends had moved on in their lives, keeping in touch using their poké Navs. Misty Waterflower was an excellent gym leader of water type pokémon, in Cerulean city of the Kanto region, while Brock Slate had grown in fame due to his leadership of the Pewter city gym, also in Kanto. May had took over her father's gym in Hoenn's Petalburg city, while Max was travelling around the world learning about pokémon, led by the renowned pokémon watcher, Tracey.

In Littleroot town, home to the famous Professor Brendan Birch an eleven year old girl awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. Long black hair fell over her odd violet eyes as she sat up. She put her hair behind her ears, and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She had lightly tanned skin, and was almost constantly happy. She was clad in her pyjamas, consisting of a blue t-shirt and pants, with miniature mudkip pictures on.

She dressed quickly, pulling on a black t-shirt and denim dungarees. She pulled her hair back into a loose pony-tail, and put on her travelling boots. She covered her hands with black fingerless gloves that reached her elbows.

She ran downstairs, where her mother waited with a single-strapped sack. It was blue, the girl's favourite colour, and seemed full of stuff.

"Eilish." The girl's mother said, smiling, "I've packed everything you'll need, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, some food and ...uh... other things."

The girl, Eilish, laughed, knowing her mother was somewhat forgetful. She took the pack from her mother.

"Thanks mum." She said smiling, "I'll visit you as often as possible."

Eilish's mother wrote something on a piece of paper, "Here's my poké Nav number, for when you get your own."

Eilish put it in her pocket, thanking her mother again. She left the house, waving to her mother.

Eilish walked to professor Birch's lab, knocking on the door before entering.

Professor Birch had natural white hair, streaked with black. He hated being called professor Birch because he said it made him sound old.

"Hey Brendan, I'm here for my pokémon." Eilish called, smiling.

Brendan walked in from a back door, a pokéball in his hand. "I've got one special one here; I saved it especially for you."

Eilish smiled, "Thanks Brenda."

Brendan frowned, "Its Brendan, or no pokémon for you."

"Fine, just hurry please." Eilish said impatiently.

Brendan smirked, and threw the pokéball into the air. A beam of red light shot out of it, and a pokémon materialised out of it.

Eilish raised an eyebrow; the pokémon's head looked oddly big compared to its body.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Trapinch." Brendan stated plainly. "I caught it the other day, and thought you'd make a great team."

Eilish crouched, holding out her hand for the Trapinch. It closed its eyes, and lifted its chin for her to stroke. She scratched it chin and it made a noise of contentment.

"Here's your pokédex and pokéballs." Brendan said, handing her five pokéballs and a mini lap-top like thing.

Eilish strapped the pokéballs to her belt, before opening the pokédex; it displayed a picture of her, and began to talk.

"Eilish, a rookie pokémon trainer. She is eleven years of age, and has a very happy-go-lucky attitude." Its voice was electronic.

"I programmed it myself." Brendan said smiling.

Eilish lowered it slightly, before jumping when it began to speak again. "Trapinch, the burrowing pokémon. Its huge jaws are very dangerous. This Trapinch is male, it knows tackle and bite. It is on level six. Do you wish to give a nickname to this pokémon?"

Eilish raised an eyebrow, "Yes…?" she said questionably.

"Please state the name you wish to give this Trapinch."

"Uh… Talon." She said smiling, liking the name.

"This Trapinch is now known as Talon." The pokédex stated, before it temporarily shut down.

"Cool." Eilish said in awe. She then turned to the Trapinch looking at her curiously. "Let's go Talon." She said, heading out, holding his pokéball in her hand.

It followed obediently. "Bye Brendan!" Eilish called, as she held the door open for her new pokémon.

"Seeya." Brendan waved.

Eilish exited, closing the door. She walked to her house, Talon walking beside her.

"Mum! I want you to meet Talon." She called, opening the door. Rapid footsteps were heard, and her mother arrived at the door.

"Aww, he is so cute!" She said stroking the orange-y coloured pokémon.

Talon closed his eyes happily.

A few minutes later, Eilish and Talon were stood at the entrance of Littleroot town.

"This is where our journey begins." She said, taking a deep breathe.

"Trapinch." Talon said, jumping up and down.

Hope y'all are enjoying it. I've got it all planned out in my head :D
