Life With Mew
Chapter (1): I'm a pokemon trainer now.
I became so excited that I could not sleep that whole night. It was my tenth birthday. And that day was the day I was going to become a pokemon trainer. My hometown is Pallet Town. And I used to live there until this day. As the sun emerged from the east, I changed my clothes quickly. I was in such a hurry that I almost forgot my cap before going downstairs. I was about to go out without having my breakfast until mum called over. I finished my breakfast quickly and was about to go out again. Just then, Mum stopped me as I forgot something. It was my backpack. Oh, how stupid of me. Anyway, I finally made it out of the house. I went to Professor Oak's laboratory. I was not able to choose a pokemon because I was a little late. Another two starter trainers from Pallet Town had chosen Squirtle and Bulbasaur. There was only one pokeball left on the table.
"This pokeball should contain a Charmander, I believe. Charmander is a fire type pokemon, so it should be strong against grass type pokemon. I hope you will become friends with this pokemon. Now would you like to give him a nickname?" Professor Oak said, handing me the pokeball.
I felt a little angry, being late at first day and not being able to choose a pokemon. But I did not show my anger. I just took the charmander without naming him and left. Professor gave me a pokedex, too. It hadn't recorded the information of the Charmander. I wondered why. But I didn't care. Charmander was a good pokemon and I knew that he would become a very strong pokemon. Just when I left Pallet Town, I met one of the starter trainers. His name was Nick and he wanted to battle me. He told me that he wanted to test his pokemon. I was feeling itching to battle, too. He and I both took position. He first took out his pokeball and released it. His pokemon was a squirtle. Now I became worried. Charmander was a fire type pokemon and he would not stand a chance against water pokemon. Anyway, I released my pokeball. But something strange came out instead of charmander. It was a cute pink cat-like pokemon, floating about. I had no idea what it was but he surely was not a charmander. And it could only say "mew".
"That's your first pokemon? Professor Oak gave you that thing. I don't know what that is but it seems pretty weak." Nick insulted me and my pokemon. I didn't know what to do and I had to win. This was my first battle. Now I did not even know what kind of pokemon I was using. It was just too difficult. Finally, I swallowed my fear and gave a command.
"Use Flame Thrower!" I ordered my little pink cat. I did not know what moves this pokemon can use. I wasn't sure if it can use a fire attack. I should have ordered a normal type move such as quick attack which most pokemons can use. Suddenly a male voice came into my head.
"Why should I listen to you?" I looked around and saw nothing.
"I'm just in front of you. And I'm speaking to you telepathically." Then I figured out it was my little cat-like pokemon. He turned and gave me a cute smile. Then he dashed towards squirtle with his body, covered in lightning. That was a volt tackle.
"Squirtle, withdraw." Nick ordered his pokemon. Squirtle withdrew itself into its shell. However, the dashing cat laid a direct hit on the turtle and knocked it out. Squirtle was thrown backwards and fainted.
"Impossible! That cannot be a starter pokemon." Nick yelled. He returned his squirtle.
I was shocked. My very first pokemon disobeyed me and knocked the opponent out. He could even talk to me. I was confused back then. After the battle, Nick gave me some cash as my reward. He said that he would win me someday. He surely would be training very hard. I knew it from the bottom of my heart. Anyway, this little pink creature kept on going around me. He was giggling like a immature baby. I was kind of annoyed by that. But since I wanted to know what kind of pokemon he was, I returned him to his pokeball and rushed to the Viridian City. It was afternoon by the time I arrived in Viridian City. First of all, I went to the pokemon centre to call Professor Oak. I wondered how Professor would explain this all.
