Chapter 1: Introduction (Like Always)

Pokémon are everywhere. They walk on the ground, swim in water, and some can fly in the air. Pokémon live in many places such as tall grass, trees, mountains, caves, under water, even in urban towns. They are usually wild, but can be domesticated into pets. Humans play with Pokémon while others train them and become Pokémon Trainers. Okay, okay! Most of us heard this introduction before, over and over again. So let's skip everything and head towards the story already.

The story takes place in the Johto region, in a small town called New Bark. In the town there is a lab that studies Pokémon and the research center for a professor named Elm. Professor Elm is getting three Pokémon ready for the new Pokémon trainers. Where are they at the moment? Well….they're asleep. Apparently, Elm hasn't gotten everything fully prepared for the trainer's journey for a specific reason. Meanwhile in small, immaculate, two-story house, a mother is in the kitchen cooking breakfast, the goes to the stairs and looks up.

"Gold! Breakfast is ready." She shouts out, "Get up, already!"

In one of the rooms, there is television, a radio, and a computer next to each other. On the wall is a map of the Johto region next to the computer is a big Snorlax doll. Moving south of the map is a magna plant and to right of the plant is a table with a Pikachu doll and a Surfing Pikachu doll on top. There is a Poke Gear next to the Pikachu Doll. The floor is covered with a red carpet. (Explaining the backgrounds is hard) At the left of the room is a dresser next to a feathery bed with someone in it.

"Gold! Get up, now!" the mother shouts up again.

Gold sighs and gets out of bed. He goes to the dresser and grabs some clothes.

"GOLD!"

"I'm up! You can stop shouting!" Gold sighs again. "Though I don't know what the point is if I am not going on journey."

In another house, the mother is setting the table as a girl is franticly running back and forth. A boy comes entering in his pajamas yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, Silver." The mother said, cheerfully.

Silver sits done at the table. "Morning." Silver starts to look at his sister running around. "Violet, you really need to calm down."

Violet glares at him angrily. "Shut up. There is no excuse for being late especially since I'm a delivery girl."

Silver looks at her in disbelief. "Your delivery service doesn't start until 9 o'clock." Silver pulls out his Poke Gear and looks at it. "It's not even 8:30."

"But I can't blow this one." Violet said nervously. "Professor Elm wants me to do an errand for him, so I can't mess up now."

"Well if you keep being uptight like that then you are going to mess up." Silver's mother said. "Just relax and focus on your job."

"O-okay." Violet takes a deep breath. "The faster I get this done, the faster you can start your journey."

Silver smiles, "Great, then I should get prepared. I'm going to meet Gold at the lake, anyway."

Silver gets up and runs off to his room. Violet grabs her vest and runs off to her hat and bag. The mother stands for a while and then speaks up.

"Will you both sit down and at least eat something." She said.

Going to another home, a girl lays on her polka dot bed looking through a Pokémon magazine. Her room is filled with cute Pokémon dolls as well as a big Lapras doll. There are three posters covering the walls. One was a Jigglypuff, one was a Clefairy, and the last one was a Pikachu. Her floor was covered with a green carpet. The girl gets up and goes downstairs to breakfast. The girl's parents where already at the table when she got there. The mother was placing some food on the table and the father reading the paper.

"Good morning, Crystal." The mother said seeing her daughter enter. "Are looking at that magazine again."

"I can't help it." Crystal said as she places the magazine on the table. "There are so many cute and beautiful Pokémon that I can't wait until I wait to start my journey."

"Well, you're not going anywhere until the professor finishes preparations are complete." says Crystal's father.

"Whenever that will be." Crystal sighs.

Gold, Silver, and Crystal are the new Pokémon trainers to go on the Johto Pokémon League. Well, until Silver's sister, Violet, finishes the errand. Violet heads towards the research lab as fast as she could.

Violet gasps for air. "*huff* *huff* I should have saved up my money for *huff* a bicycle."

Violet walks into the lab, nervously. She looks around the area seeing a bunch of books, computers, and machines. A scientist walks out from a room, notices Violet right away, and starts observing.

"Ummm… Can I help you?" Violet asked as an awkward feeling is in the air.

"Sorry. I like to keep track of the people that enter the lab, in case of emergencies." the scientist said.

"Emergencies?" Violet asked.

"If someone gets hurt or if they steal something, I have to report in the best detail I can explain." the scientist said.

"Oh, that sounds reasonable." Violet responds calmly. "Creepy, but reasonable.

The scientist takes a good look at Violet. Violet had white hair and green eyes. She was wearing a white shirt, a brown vest, a brown skirt, a brown beret, and brown shoes.

"Are you supposed to be wearing a uniform?" the scientist asked.

Violet felt a bit offensive. "Y-yes."

"How original. You must be the delivery girl that Elm asked for." said the scientist.

Violet perks up, "Y-yeah, that's me."

"Well then, follow me. Professor Elm is expecting you." the scientist leads Violet to another room.

Professor Elm was working at one of the computers, checking his research. There are three pokéballs on the table and a few Pokédexes. It seems that everything was ready for the Pokémon trainers. The scientist goes up to Professor Elm with Violet behind him.

"Excuse me, Professor Elm," the scientist interrupts Elm's research, "the delivery girl you wanted came."

Elm looks up from his computer. "Huh? Oh, you must be Violet. Sorry for not greeting you at the door."

"That's okay, the aide guided me in." Violet said. "Just tell me what to delivery and I will be off."

"Well, you see, I'm not delivering anything." Elm said sadly as Violet looks at him oddly. "A man named Mr. Pokémon has something for me to study."

Violet looks at Professor Elm oddly. "His name is Mr. Pokémon?"

"He got the nickname when he kept finding a bunch of weird stuff that has to do with Pokémon." Elm explained. "Now he has found something that he said will knock my socks off! But, if I go then I would have to delay the trainer's journey debut. There is also so much research to do and there are only two of us in the lab. So my question is, if I were to give you a Pokémon would you go to Mr. Pokémon's house and take the item back here?"

"Sure, but..." Violet thinks for a minute, "Are you not saving those Pokémon for the trainers?"

"Oh, yes! I was talking about this Pokémon." Elm said picking up a pokéball.

Professor shows the pokéball for a moment, then the pokéball opened up as a white light comes out. The white light morphed into a Pokémon, revealing a Chikorita.

"Chika! Chika!" The Chikorita said.

"Is that a Chikorita?" Violet kneels down to look at the Chikorita.

"This Chikorita was not chosen by the previous trainers." Elm explained. "The third trainer moved to a different region and started his journey there. This Chikorita desperately wants an owner."

"Wait! If I complete the job, I can have this Chikorita?" Violet seemed surprised.

"Sure, it seems to be a perfect reward especially since you're going to be the one training it on the way to Mr. Pokémon's house." Elm said.

"Wow!" Violet was happy. And I didn't have to become a Pokémon trainer. "Okay, I give it a try."

"Good, then let's get you on your way." Professor Elm looks at Chikorita. "Would you like to give her a name?"

"Sure, I… wait! How'd you know Chikorita is a girl?" Violet asked.

"The computers can identify whether if a Pokémon is a male or a female." Elm explains, "If we looked at it manually, we wouldn't be able to put the Pokémon back into the ball."

"Riiiight." Violet said. "Well, anyway, what kind of nickname should I give you?"

Violet thinks for a while and looks down at the Chikorita. Looking at the leaf on her head, an idea pops up in Violet's head.

"How about Aroma? That leaf on your head is an obvious sign that you're a grass type." Violet said.

Chikorita squeals. "Chika!"

"Okay, Aroma return." Aroma turned red and was warped back into the pokéball. "Now here is the location to Mr. Pokémon's house."

The scientist goes up to Violet with a potion bottle. "Here is some potion in case your Pokémon gets hurt along the way."

"Thank you." Violet said. "I'll get going right away."

Violet grabs the potion and the address to Mr. Pokémon's house, and runs out of the lab. She heads to the path to Route 29. Violet starts checking everything before she goes.

"Okay, got the address, got the potion, my uniform, my PokéGear, what am I missing?"

A spark goes through Violet's head and she immediately runs all the way back to the lab where Professor Elm was waiting for her.

"Here's Aroma." Professor Elm holds out Aroma's pokéball to Violet.

Violet takes the pokéball, embarrassed. "Sorry."
