Authors Note

At first, I must explain the usual. I do not own Pokémon or their names. Please bare in mind, that all citys and towns in this fanficition is made up by myself. The gymleaders are all mine too :)

Well, I hope you'll enjoy this story. I have finished writing about 20 episodes, but It's gonna be a while before I've uploaded them all, since they need to be translated to english first.

Yes, you heard me. I am 14 years old and I come from Sweden, so if I've misspelled something, you'll have to remember: I am no star on the english language.

I hope you can understand this story, and if you can, I'm more than satisfied. Please read and review, I won't cry if you flame it.

WARNING: This story contains new Pokémon, such as Mudkip, Treecko, Zigzagoon, Torchic and others.

And yes, I know that I've spelled Teddiursa with "y", but it feels better in my opinion.

Enjoy!

Episode 1: Catching A Pokémon

The sun smiled towards the world and Jason Darryll lied in the grass with a huge smile on his face.

A swarm of Pidgeys flew around him, and in the tall grass on his left side, there was a Bulbasaur playing with a Butterfree.

Jason loved the nature, where he could do what he liked most of all.

To be with Pokémon.

These lovely creatures had fascinated him since he was three, and tomorrow, on his twelfth birthday, he would catch his first Pokémon.

He would begin at Altare Towns Pokémon School two days after tomorrow, and he sproudled with excitement.

- Jason! his mom shouted from their little house on the other side of the field. It's dinner time! ............................................................................ .........................................................

Jason woke up of a terrible noise, that supposed to be a Happy Birthday- song. He got up from his bed and with a tired grin on his face he started to open the presents. "Congratulations!" his younger brother Ricky shouted and threw himself into Jasons arms. He were also going to Pokémon School and he would begin in a class for smaller children. He was 10, and two years younger than Jason. "T-Thank you", Jason mumbled and blinked. His eyelids were heavy as rocks. After a ten-minute struggle, he could finally rip off the paper that surrounded the large present. Inside, there was a box containing twelve Pokéballs and at the bottom, he could find a couple of Potions and some Pokémon food.

The small present were so heavily taped, that Jason had to use his teeth to open it.

It contained something that almost looked like a cellphone, and with a curious look on his face he started to examine it's different functions.

"It's a PokéGear" his dad softly explained and showed Jason how to use it. "It's a combination of a cellphone, a radio and a digital map. This version is modified, so it also has the same function as a PokéDex. It will give you information about the Pokémon you meet."

Jason threw a sceptical look on the little thing that lied in his hand.

"I can't believe you can squeeze in so many functions in just a little thing."

"Well, you can" his mom said and threw the paper from the presents in the wastepaper basket at the beds legs. "We want you both to be ready for tomorrow."

"We are" Ricky said quickly. "Come on, bro. Let's go. There are Pokémon just waiting to be caught!" ............................................................................ .........................................................

The sun shone bright when the two brothers walked down the path that led through the forest.

"We have been walking for an hour, and the only Pokémon we have seen is a Weedle" Ricky sighed and kicked a stone into the tall grass.

"We'll see one soon" said Jason and let his fingers touch the Pokéball he kept in his pocket. He couldn't wait to throw it!

They walked for another ten minutes, until they reached a wide field, where they could see an elephant-Pokémon eating of the green grass.

"Wow!" Ricky said, stunned by it's size. "Look at the armor!"

Jason held his PokéGear towards the Pokémon, and a second later, a robot- voice could be heard:

"Donphan. It has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. Its tackle is strong enough to knock down a house. It's very aggresive."

"Oops" said Ricky with a low voice. "We should keep our distance."

They took a few steps back and slowly started to walk past Donphan.

It gave them a long, warning glare, and Jason could feel how his heart pounding like a drum.

But Donphan didn't do anything. Until a Beedrill landed on it's back and gave it a burning sting with it's claws.

Donphan got furious and it raised on it's back legs and let out a roar.

And then it dashed towards Jason and Ricky.

"RUN!" Jason shouted to his brother, and they turned around and ran for their lives back over the field.

"We didn't do anything!" Ricky shouted with panic, and he ran as fast as his legs allowed.

Jason could feel how the ground trembled when Donphan dashed after them like a train without brakes.

"Jason! This way! Ricky screamed over his shoulder.

They ran into the forest, but Donphan were too fast.

With half an inch, Jason avoided to be nailed by it's tusks. He managed to dodge the other attack with a hair, and with his heart almost popping out of his chest, he ran for his life after Ricky.

What he didn't noticed, were that the forest a couple of yards ahead ended abrubtly at the edge of a small canyon.

"Ricky! Wait!" he shouted to his brother. Ricky turned his eyes towards Jason. He shouldn't have done that. Suddenly his feets disappeared under him, and he fell towards the bottom of the canyon.

Jason came running the moment after, but he noticed the edge far too late. He fell down along the canyon wall, and he smashed to the ground at the bottom and immediately lost his conscious. ............................................................................ .........................................................

He slowly opened his eyes, and he rolled himself onto his feets. At first he felt dizzy, but he regained his senses shortly after.

"Ricky!" he shouted. His voice echoed between the canyon walls. "Ricky!"

Jason could hear a cough from nearby, and he immidiately ran towards the sound.

When he saw his brother lying on a Snorlax's belly, he was about to laugh himself to death.

It was so typical Ricky. A lethal fall down a canyon, and then he lands on a Snorlax. Talk about a lucky boy...

"Well, we did get rid of that Donphan" Ricky said with a big smile. "Come on, let's explore this canyon a bit more. I'm sure there is Pokémon here."

"But how are we going to find the way back home?" Jason asked. "It's getting dark."

"Ah, don't be such a wimp, bro." If you want to be home before dark, we'll be home before dark."

They hadn't walked further than 50 metres when Jason spotted a brown little bear-Pokémon climbing down a tree.

He held his PokéGear towards it.

"Teddyursa" said the Pokédex. "The mark on it's forehead begins to glow if honey can be found nearby. A very good climber"

"I'm catching it" Jason said and enlarged the Pokéball he kept in his pocket. "You're all mine, Teddyursa..."

Jason sneaked towards Teddyursa and when he were a few metres away, he tossed the Pokéball.

It sucked Teddyursa in, and it wiggled on the ground for a long while.

Jason were just about to give up a scream of happiness, when Teddyursa suddenly broke free and ran away.

"No!" Jason shouted in anger and ran after it.

Ricky sighed.

"Brothers. They are almost as stupid as yourself..." ............................................................................ .........................................................

When Ricky came around the corner, he found Jason lying on the ground holding Teddyursa in a tight grip.

He had blood on his face, and he's clothes were covered of dust.

"You can't be serious, Jason. Did you let that little bear beat you up?"

"This little...grrr... It slapped me with it's claws. Aww it hurt..."

"Why don't you call it into a Pokéball?"

"Because it breaks free all the time. I don't think he like Pokéballs."

"Maybe you should give him some food, so he understands that you and him are friends now."

Jason recieved some Pokémon food from Ricky, and started to feed Teddyursa.

The little bear ate until it couldn't eat no more, and then it smiled towards Jason, who still were bleeding.

"You know what, Jason?" Ricky said with a big smile. "You should really practice on your catching-technique"

............................................................................ .........................................................

It only took a few minutes before Teddyursa happily could sit on Jasons shoulder, and inside, Jason felt proud over catching his first Pokémon.

They walked for almost twenty minutes, and the canyon did never seem to end.

Jason were just about to suggest that they should walk back the same way they came from, when Ricky spotted a furry little Pokémon on four legs, sneaking between the large stones.

Ricky held his own PokéGear towards it.

"Zigzagoon" the voice said. "A newly discovered Pokémon. It's a very good climber, and it's fur can be used as a weapon. Attacks using it's claws."

"It's mine" Ricky said with a low voice. He sneaked towards Zigzagoon with a Pokéball in his hand.

Zigzagoon watched him with suspicious eyes, and it slowly began to walk backwards in defensive position.

"Ricky" Jason said quietly. "You shouldn't..."

"Scch!" Ricky said, waving his hand towards his brother.

But he should have listened to Jason. Suddenly, a swarm of sharp needles were launched from Zigzagoons fur, and Ricky fell backwards.

But before he fell, he managed to throw his Pokéball and it catched Zigzagoon with a beep.

"You look like a pillow full of needles" Jason said and smiled.

He helped his brother on his feets, and then he picked up the Pokéball.

"You caught it, Ricky" he said, giving the Pokéball to his brother. "Come on, let's go home and get rid of those needles..." ............................................................................ .........................................................

When Jason got out of bed, Ricky were already awake, playing with Zigzagoon in the garden. Yesterdays incident were already forgotten, and the two played as they h

Jason picked up Teddyursa in his arms, and he walked out of the open door.

"Today we're going to Altare Town" he whispered in the little bears ear. "You and me."

"Well, today's your big day" their father said, when the whole family was gathered around the breakfast-table. "You'll have to go to Altare by foot, and it's a good chance to train your Pokémon in the meantime."

"By foot?!" Jason almost shouted to his father. "It will take at least six hours!"

"Don't be so lazy, dear." his mom said. "Then you can get to know your Pokémon better too."

"Okay."

"I have made lunch for you" his mom continued and nodded towards their backpacks.

"Thanks mum" Ricky mumbled.

When the two brothers had finished eating, they put on their backpacks. Teddyursa climbed onto Jasons shoulder, and Zigzagoon walked beside Ricky like a loyal dog.

They said goodbye to their parents. They didn't realize that it would be over a year until they would see them again.
