Okay. This is my first fanfic that I'll be posing in this site. I'm just a beginner so please don't flame. Also if you are wondering why I called this fanfic "Previous Adventure", it is because this story is a prequel to my other fanfic from a forum. I think it'll be better to post this first.

Just so we're clear, I DO NOT own Pokemon.

Lawyers: Aww man. We almost got him.

May 3rd

Today is my birthday. I just turned 13 today. My mom wanted to throw a birthday party for me before I leave this summer. I am going to get my Pokémon License from Prof. Sanders and start my journey. In the US, the minimum age to get the license is 13, but my cousin told me that in Japan, the minimum age is 10. Anyways I'm getting off track here. The people that came to my B-day are some of my relatives and my friends (to tell you the truth, I don't have that many friends). During the party, my cousin and I talked.

My cousin said, "So what Pokémon are you going to take for your adventure, White?"

That's my nickname, White. My real name is Ethan. Only my friends and my cousin call me by my nickname.

"Well, I'm going to take the Treeko that my dad found." I answered to my cousin, Tyler.

"Are you sure you don't want to take the Pokémon that the professor has?"

"I'm sure. Don't tell anyone about this, but I actually trained it a little bit."

"Trying to get ahead, cheater. So did you give it a nickname?"

"Well, not yet."

"You should. I heard that it'll be strong-willed if you gave a Pokémon a nickname."

"I'll think about it. Right now, let me enjoy the party."

When I went to the kitchen, my mother walked up to me and said, "Son, can you go to the store and get a bucket of ice cream. Thank you."

My mom gave me money to buy the ice cream and I left. I couldn't stop thinking about how my journey is going to be.

When I walked up the hill, there was something coming towards me. I didn't know what it was and I didn't care. I wish I could have though. I heard someone talking but I forgot what the trainer said. I can tell it was a trainer because it sounded like that person gave a command. I stood still trying to find the trainer. When I turned around, there was a Pokémon. I don't know what the Pokémon was. I quickly grabbed my Pokéball and I was about to send out Treeko but I got unconscious.

Next thing I know, I woke up and saw that I was in a forest. I must have rolled down the hill. I saw a puddle of water near me so I washed my face. Then I saw my hands. They are different than what I had before. I was scared. I have 3 fingers and the tips are ball-shaped. They were pure white too. I looked at my reflection. I looked different. I panicked and said, "What the… What is this?" I heard footsteps and I turned around. It was my cousin. He has my clothes in his hands. I started talking to him, "I'm glad you're here. I was getting worried."

"Don't come near me!" My cousin yelled.

"Tyler." I saw tears coming out of his eyes.

"Where is White?"

I couldn't believe it. My cousin doesn't know who I am. I tried to talk to him but my cousin grabbed the Pokéball from my clothes and threatened me with it. He sent out my Treeko.

"What have you done with White?" My cousin asked with an angry tone. I tried to talk but for some reason, I felt like I was frozen. "Treeko, attack!"

My Treeko attacked me. I was on the floor in pain. I started to cry.

"Where is he?" My cousin continued. I was speechless. "Treeko, Bullet Seed!"

I got attacked by Bullet Seed. It hurts like hell. I had to run away. As I ran away, I can hear my cousin telling my Treeko to go after me.

10 minutes has passed. I stopped to catch a breath. It was getting dark. After I rested a little bit, I gathered wood to make a camp fire. I sat down next to the fire, looking at the stars. I can't stop thinking about my family, who may already be worried sick about me. My heart is telling me to go home, but my brain is telling to stay where I am because if I return home, everyone will panic when they see me like this. I closed my eyes. Then I heard the clock tower bell from Williams City ringing. I started to count as the bell rang. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 10… 11…
