This is the first chapter to my series "Pokemon Masters". I do not own Pokemon or any of the characters in it and I do not know why you would think I do. Enjoy!

Hello, my name is Red. I am 10 years old and I live in Pallet Town. Pallet Town is a small town on a peninsula in the Kanto region filled with creatures called Pokemon. When a kid turns 10 years old in Pallet Town they receive a Pokemon from the professor who lives in the town too. His name is Professor Oak. Today is my last day in Pallet because I'll be going on an adventure through Kanto after that. This is my story.

I was awoken by the obnoxious sound of an alarm clock on my bedside dresser. I got up out of bed in a daze, not really sure what to do. Noticing a note on my closet door I read it: 'Dear Red, I had to leave early for work. Remember to stop by Oak's lab! I bought new clothes for your adventure through Kanto! Love, Mom.'

New clothes? I opened my closet door to see that she had bought me gear for my journey. There were blue jeans, a black t-shirt, a red jacket with a white zipper, and a hat with a pokeball symbol etched into it. I quickly put on my new attire and headed over to the mirror to look. I looked like a real trainer! Zipping up my jacket I stumbled down the stairs and ran out of my house. I turned around to take one last glance at it before I went to the lab. After staring at it for a good minute I heard a familiar yell. "Red! Hey Red, it's me Blue! If you don't hurry to the lab Grandpa'll be all out of Pokemon!" Blue, my best friend/arch rival had to rub it in that he got a Pokemon before me. You know what I couldn't care less. I strutted to the lab in a mannerly fashion so that I looked like I wasn't in much of a hurry when I could've been running for my life instead. I walked into the lab to see a girl with long reddish pink hair waltz out of the place like it was no big deal. She was stunning. Her long black dress that reached her knees was simply amazing on her. She had white gloves that you might see on Mickey Mouse and black boots to match her dress.

"Um, hi, I'm Red." I whimpered quietly to her. I must've sounded like a complete coward talking to a girl like that, but the sad thing was that I am. "Hi, I'm Green. I just picked up my Pokemon from Professor Oak and I'm on my way to Viridian City right now. Nice talking to you, Red." She told me, and then just left. I knew where I was going next. Viridian City, here I come!

Walking up to Professor Oak I realized just how psyched I was to get a Pokemon! I could feel all the nerves in my body tensing up. Butterfree dancing in my stomach. "Hello, Professor. So you have any Pokemon left for me?" I asked him smoothly. I would be so bummed if he was all out of Pokemon.

"As a matter of fact I have one more left. Blue got his first pick getting here early and the lady who just walked out got hers. So would you like Bulbasaur?" he asked me. Bulbasaur?

"Yes, a thousand times yes!" I exclaimed, I can't believe I'm getting a Pokemon!

"Well then here's his Pokeball and here's your PokeDex." Oak told me handing me a ball with red on the top and white on the bottom with a button in the middle and a device I guessed was the 'PokeDex'.

I knew I was ready.
