"I'm telling you man, we have to do something rather than stay here." said a boy lying down on a couch. He had blue eyes and spikey brown hair. He wore a black jacket with khaki pants.
"I suppose," responded a boy seated on a chair with black hair and red eyes. He was fairly tall and had a red vest with white sleeves and a black shirt underneath. He wore his signature red and white cap, alongside his blue jeans.
After a moment a silence, there was a ringing sound. The boy with blue eyes picked up his PokeGear. "What's up Gramps?" he answered.
"Blue, can you please come to my lab, and please bring Red with you?" The old professor requested.
"Yeah, we'll be on our way," he replied.
"Okay, I'll be expecting you soon," Oak said.
"Hey Red, Gramps wants us to meet him at the lab," said Blue. Red nodded and arose from his seated position.
"Maybe he wants us to go do some errands or something? It'd be way better than staying here all day," Blue said, excited as ever. Red simply shrugged as they started to go to the door.
They departed Red's house and walked to Oak's Laboratory. It was rather cold, since it was an October morning, so they hurried along to reach the lab. Upon arrival, the duo looked around, remembering the memories of them receiving their first Pokemon. Inside, you could see the old professor seated and reading a book. He looked up at the sound of the door closing and went to greet them.
"Ah, Red and Blue. How have you 2 been?" he asked with a warm smile.
"We've been alright Gramps, just bored out of our minds," Blue said.
"Well boys, I have a request for both of you," the professor said.
Upon hearing this, Blue started to smile curiously and Red actually started paying attention to the researcher.
"You see, my friend in the Hoenn region, Professor Birch, has asked me to send 2 experienced trainers to mentor 2 new trainers. How does that sound?"
Blue couldn't believe what he was hearing. This was what he was waiting for. Red on the other hand, looked around hopelessly bored.
"So what do you say boys?" Oak asked.
"Yeah, of course we'll go, right Red?" asked an eager Blue.
"Sure," replied Red.
"Great," said the researcher, "I have tickets for the S.S. Anne in Vermillion. It should take you to Slateport and it will leave in about 3 hours. When you arrive in Slateport, head to Littleroot town to his lab." he said as he handed the 2 tickets.
"Alright, thanks Gramps," Blue said as they left.
Once outside the lab, Blue called out his Pidgeot and Red called out his Charizard. The 2 Pokemon seemed to radiate strength. "Ready to go Red?" asked Blue.
"Obviously," replied an emotionless Red. The 2 trainers jumped on their respective Pokemon, and took off.
As they reached Vermillion City, they noticed that the S.S. Anne was already leaving. "Damn it, we were late!" exclaimed an annoyed Blue.
"Come on," said Red.
The ship had already left the dock, and was fairly far. Red and Blue followed it still riding their respective Pokemon. Noticing the tickets were useless now, Blue threw them into the sea.
"What're we supposed to do, land our Pokemon on a moving ship?" said a joking Blue. Red nodded, much to his surprise.
"Are you crazy?" Blue asked with disbelief.
Red ignored him and landed his Charizard on the deck.. He got off and called back his powerful friend. He looked up and saw Blue hesitate to do the same. Red shook his head and went inside to look for something to eat.
"Well, hopefully I don't die," Blue said to himself. Much to his surprise, he landed it just like Red. He put his Pidgeot back in his Pokeball and went to go find Red.
Minutes turned to hours, and Blue still couldn't find him. He then heard a voice over the loudspeaker, "Attention all passengers, we will arrive in Slateport City in 10 mintues."
Blue continued to look for Red, but had no success. His best friend was nowhere to be found. When the ship finally arrived, he went to the dock along with all the other passengers.
Once at the dock, he saw Red patiently waiting for him. "Red, where the hell were you?" asked a furious Blue.
"I went to go get something to eat, and then this nice lady offered me cabin, so I took a nap there," he said in a quiet tone.
Blue couldn't even come up with a good response, he just shook his head. "Man, it sure is hot here," Blue said. Red nodded and took out his PokeGear. He pointed west and said "Littleroot is that way."
The duo then took out their Pokeballs and called out their companions once more. As they were getting on their Pokemon, they received many strange looks as the people weren't used to Kanto native Pokemon. They then took off again.
It took 2 hours for them to arrive, mostly due to Blue confusing Oldale Town with Littleroot, causing them to walk around aimlessly looking for a lab that wasn't there.
Upon arrival, they spotted a large building, which they knew was a Pokemon lab. They entered the lab, and saw a fairly large man with 2 other people.
They walked up to the man and Blue asked, "Hey, are you professor Birch?"
The large man looked at them and responded, " Yes, how can I help you 2?"
Blue looked at Red and back at Birch and said, "We were sent by professor Oak to help mentor 2 kids or something as trainers."
Birch's eyes widened and asked "Wait, you 2 young men are the experienced trainers?"
Blue taking it as an insult replied, "Yeah, we may only be 16 but we're really good trainers, huh Red?" Red nodded.
"Very well," said the professor. "This is May and Brendan."
Blue studied the 2. The one called May had a red bandana and a red collared shirt. She had blue biker shorts with a white skirt. The boy known as Brendan essentially had the male version of that outfit.
"Hi, nice to meet you," said May.
"What a pleasure," said Brendan.
"Well, these 2 already chose their starter, so you can proceed anytime. Your mission is to help them get all 8 gym badges, by guiding them and showing them the ropes. Please, help them become the best trainers they can be, ok?" Birch requested.
Both Red and Blue nodded. "Well, let's go guys," said Blue.
They said goodbye to the professor and made their way to route 101. Overlooking the route in front of them, they know this would be the beginning of a long journey.
Well, that's the beginning of it. I apologize if I missed any important details, or I rushed it a bit. This is mostly an adventure story, but I can add more romantic elements if you guys want. Thanks for reading. Drop a review please.
