[Present]
I'm quite young being 14 years. I live in a house near Dewford Town with my dad, who was previously a pokemon trainer. He told me stories of him catching legendary pokemon being the cocky dad he is, I knew they weren't true I just went with the flow and just pretend to be interested in his soooo true stories. I have heard that you have to be a worthy person if you wanna capture any legendary and I don't think my dad isn't that worthy. He was good though beating all gyms around Hoenn getting his 8 badges, and with that done he tried to challenge the Elite 4 and boy was it… embarrasing. One of them only used 1 single pokemon and beat my dad without breaking a sweat. My dad's pride probably got the best of him which lead to him underestimating the Elite 4, and he didn't take the defeat lightly. He was so depressed that he couldn't come out of his room for almost a whole week. After that was done though everything went back to normal.
[Late Evening]
Nothing happened much we went on with our lives
"Hey dad, when am I gonna begin my Pokemon journey?" I asked him.
"Well son, I don't know to be honest, could be now, tomorrow, couple days, who knows!" He said in a care free tone.
"Well I hope it's soon, like… I don't know… my birthday perhaps?" I said to him. I saw him feel uneasy.
"Alright you caught me red handed, but you're gonna have to wait," He said to me in a defeated tone.
"Well you know my birthday's tomorrow so…" I said trailing off.
"Ok ok, but you have to prepare though, get the stuff you need like food, money, camping equipment and some other stuff," He said counting his fingers for the things he said.
"We'll have to go to Littleroot Town and meet Professor Birch." I said.
"Yeah, you just need your pokeballs and pokedex." My dad said
"What about the starter pokemon?" I asked because my dad forgot that...
"Don't worry you'll see in your birthday." He said.
…Or so I thought.
"Well ok then," I said. I went to eat dinner and got ready to sleep…
[Tomorrow]
-Xavier-
I woke up feeling happy and energized that it's my birthday today. I got up and went to the bathroom. Before I went to the bathroom and got a towel and clothes. I splashed my face with water so I can wake up a little bit then brushed my teeth. I took of my clothes to get a quick shower. My physique is average for the usual 14, now 15, year old nothing special but I'm quite lean in way. I took a quick shower for my birthday and then dried myself. I noticed my armpit stank so I got some deodorant and applied it to my armpits. I got my boxers, a pair of pants, and a shirt. I combed my hair and didn't dry it thoroughly so the water can make it easier to comb my hair while keeping it in place, temporarily anyway. I looked fresh in the mirror, being 5¾ ft tall is nothing special but I know sooner or later I'll be hitting my growth spurt. I went out to see if my dad was here.
-Leo-
"Ok guys, it's Xavier's birthday today he's turning 15 and gonna start his pokemon journey." I said to them. Diana and Michael were from Kalos and Jennifer is from Sinnoh, they came to celebrate my son's birthday.
"Ok you got him anything?" Michael asked.
"Well, I'll be bringing him to the Professor and let him choose his starter." I answered.
"Does he know about the recent starter switch up?" Jennifer asked
"No and that's the surprise, he thinks he'll be getting a Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip but now with the recent switch he would be surprised on what to choose."
"Ehh ok, it's your idea." Jennifer said. Then we heard buzzing, it's coming from Jennifer.
"Oh give me a second, it's my son Christian give me a second," Then she went through a door to talk to her son.
"Ok then, so how old will Xavier be?" Diana asked
"I just said that, he's turning 15."
"I wasn't paying attention sorry." She said snickering. I sighed and Jennifer came out.
"Ok so Christian's game is gonna start soon, can we at watch his game so we can see him play? It's a small 90 minute game and will be starting at 3" Jennifer asked.
"Why not? Xavier can see who Christian is and how he looks so he can meet him." Michael said
"Sure." I said shrugging.
"But that's too long, lets at least watch it when he shows up," Diana said.
"Good idea," I said
-3rd Person-
After some searching Xavier found his dad with 3 other people.
"Dad who are they?"
"Oh they're my friends from the time I was younger, this is Diana and Michael from Kalos...," Leo said gesturing them
"How you doin sport?" Michael said
"Nice meeting you Xavier" Diana said
"Hi," Xavier said giving them a shake to the hand.
"...And this is Jennifer from Sinnoh,"
"Hello," Xavier said shaking her hand
"Hello there."
"So you know what day it is," Xavier said to his dad.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!" Leo said giving him a hug.
"Happy birthday Xavier!" The rest said.
"Thanks,"
"Today is special now, you will be starting your journey to become a great pokemon trainer like your dad," Leo said patting Xavier's back.
"Hey just between you and me, your dad's not that good," Michael whispered into Xavier's ear.
"I heard that Mike!"
"What it was just a joke, but your good though," Michael said quickly. Leo scoffed.
"So let's get you ready huh?" Leo said to Xavier.
"Here," They quickly give him an expensive backpack with a big spacious inside with many pockets to put items in. "Me and Michael thought it would be a good idea to give you this,"
"Wow! This must be very expensive, Thanks a ton!" Xavier said.
"And you'll be needing this also," Jennifer said. She gave him a pouch of necessary items like potions, berries, and some extra pokeballs.
"Wow, most of the items I need for my journey. Thank you all, now the start of my journey will be easier."
"Now all you need is a pokemon, so we'll go to Professor Birch to give you your starter," Leo said.
"Yeah once that's done I'll be starting my pokemon journey." Xavier said.
"Wait, I thought we were gonna see Christian's game!" Jennifer exclaimed, everyone looked at her.
"Just show him a picture but later though." Leo said
"Now we just gotta bring Xavier to the professor to give him his starter." Michael said. They all agreed and left Leo's residence soon after, Diana and Michael left to go home back in Kalos shortly afterwards while Jennifer wanted to stay with the group. Jennifer showed a picture of Christian to Xavier so if he ever meets him and challenge each other, he knows who he is. They're still on there way, it was good they left sooner because the trip took longer than expected. They reached the small settlement known as Littleroot Town. It was little because there was only 3 buildings. One must be a lab where Professor Birch stays, and the 2 just look like residences. They went into the lab to see a chubby looking man in his thirties with a lab coat, this was Professor Birch.
"Hi Professor Birch, I'm here to pick my starter for my journey." Xavier said excitedly.
"Good, now let's check out the 3 new starters shall we!" The professor said.
"Wait new starters?" Xavier said confused.
"Haven't you heard? The starters were switched between regions, just to make things interesting." Jennifer said.
"Dad you never told this about me." Xavier said flustered.
"That's the surprise." He bluntly said. Xavier scoffed and moved on.
"So let's see here," He said looking at the 3 pokeballs,
"Here we have…" He said opening the Pokeball to reveal a green frog with something on it's back, "A Bulbasaur."
"Bulbasaur!" The little grass pokemon said.
"Next one is a…" He opened it to reveal a orange monkey, " A Chimchar."
"Chimchar!"
"And lastly… " He said opening the last pokeball to reveal a crocodile like pokemon, "A Totodile."
"Totodile!"
"Now trainer you gotta choose." Birch said to Xavier.
"And while you're at it I'll be getting the stuff you need." He said going to a storage room. Xavier looked at them carefully, trying to see which one he should pick. All of them stood proudly, showing that they are tough and have a good persona.
"Hey son, if I were you, you should choose the Chimchar, fire types are the best." Leo whispered to Xavier.
"No choose the Totodile, it has an advantage against fire types." Jennifer said.
"Guys, it's rock paper scissors, there's no distinct advantage from choosing one from another because they all cancel each other out, I have to follow my heart and choose the one I like." Xavier said irritated from the unnecessary pressure. Professor Birch came out of the storage room with the Pokedex and 5 pokeballs.
"Ok got the stuff you need, here's your pokeballs to capture pokemon, I'm sure you know how to operate them." Birch said giving it to Xavier who put it in his new backpack.
"And this is your pokedex, it has all the info you need about Pokemon, your ID, a map, phone and other stuff." He said handing the pokedex to Xavier.
(Nifty looking piece of technology here.) Xavier though inspecting the gadget.
"Have you chosen one yet?"
"Nope, I'm gonna check each one of them out."
At the end of the day, Xavier chose Bulbasaur he thinks it's just a classic pokemon to have and a trusty one too. He didn't put his Bulbasaur in his pokeball so he can walk and be free and not just be imprisoned into the ball. Xavier was ready to begin his journey by going through Route 101 to get to Oldale Town. Xavier is ready to go now and says his goodbyes. His dad went back to Dewford Town and Jennifer went back to Sinnoh to check with Christian after his game. Xavier is off and walks to Oldale Town with his Bulbasaur by his side.
"So Bulbasaur, you ready to make me become a pokemon master?" He said excitedly.
"Bulba!" The grass pokemon yelped jumping up.
"Great to hear that!" He said knowing that his Bulbasaur is showing enthusiasm.
"We are probably halfway through, let's go look for other pokemon."
"Bulba!" With the approval from his Bulbasaur, they wafted of from the route to go into the forest to look for other pokemon. The looked for couple of minutes and found one pokemon.
-Xavier-
I saw a small grey dog pokemon, I took out my pokedex to see what pokemon was it.
"Poochyena
#261
Dark-Type
Female
Poochyena, the bite pokemon. It is the pre-evolved form of Mightyena. It has enough endurance to chase down it's prey until it's exhausted.
Moves: Tackle, Howl, Sand Attack, Bite."
The pokedex said in a robotic voice.
(Looks like a really good pokemon to have.)
The Poochyena growled and barked.
"Ready Bulbasaur?" He went in front between me and the Poochyena, in his fighting stance.
"Bulbasaur!"
"Alright! Use vine whip!" Two vines came out and slapped the Poochyena, it whined after that. The Poochyena charged and went in for a bite. It was too fast and Bulbasaur got bit.
"You alright Bulbasaur?" He just gave a nod.
"Ok, use Tackle!" With that said Bulbasaur charged to Poochyena giving it a good headbutt. The Poochyena was weak so I took my pokeball and enlarged it. I threw it towards the dark type being engulfed in a red light. The pokeball closed and fell to the ground. Shake. Shake. Shake. Shake… Click! As soon as I heard that I knew I caught it.
"Yeah! We caught our first pokemon!" I said
"Bulba!"
"Gimme a high five!" I put my palm out, he just head butted lightly.
"Ok, that's a high five for you then." I went and took my pokeball.
We went to Oldale Town.
I'd like to thank DracoSheild234 for helping me notice my mistakes AND helping me make a plot.
