Very small author note
So, before this 'story' begins, I'm just going to say that my writing style is shoddy, So be prepared for that.

The sun was out, the wind was blowing, causing some leaves to float away into the distance.

"Oh, Aurea! It's been awhile since we've last had a chat. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"..."
"Really? A Pokédex for my child? She'll love this!"
"..."
"Wait, you've already sent someone to be here today? Jeez, you're still the same as always."
"..."
"Bianca, big green hat, got it. Be sure to call again sometime!"
Alyss hung up her Xtransceiver before entering her home.
"Rosa! I'm home!"
There was no reply, leaving Alyss to ponder what Rosa is doing.
'Could she be sleeping? It's awfully late to be sleeping…' as Alyss was thinking what Rosa was doing, she walked up to her door and knocked on it. Still no reply.
Alyss sighed before shouting "I'm coming in!" As she entered she saw her daughter, Rosa, laying on her bed with earbuds in. Rosa, noticing her mother entering the room, unplugged her earbuds that were blasting incomprehensible screaming and guitar riffs. As Alyss heard the music blasting from the earbuds, she sighed. "Must you blast that music so loudly? You're going to damage your ears…" Rosa simply rolled her eyes. "Oh, it'll be fine Mom. Is there something you need?" Alyss nodded before speaking. "I need you to answer a few questions. First, do you want a Pokémon?" Rosa's eyes widened. "Yes! Do you even need to ask? I've wanted one since, like, Forever!" A bit of laughter came out of Alyss "Well, that's one question down. Next Question! Do you know what a Pokédex is?" Rosa rolled her eyes at her mother "Of course I do, it's the Pokémon Encyclopedia. Who doesn't know about it! What about it?" Alyss smiled a bit, trying to put on airs. "Would you like a Pokédex?" One could see the gears in Rosa's brain start to turn and comprehend the Question. "Wait, a Pokédex means… a Pokémon journey?!" Rosa let out a noise of pure glee before speaking again. "Do you have a Pokémon and Pokédex on you then?" Alyss, who was laughing at her daughter's reaction to the question stopped to reply. "Well, No. You see, I recently got a call from an old friend of mine, Aurea Juniper, The Pokémon professor here in Unova. She asked me if you wanted A Pokédex and Pokémon. I have one last question for you. Do you know how to use a trainer's bag?" Rosa gave her mother an exasperated look before replying "Ugh, yes mom, I know how to use a bag." Alyss laughed at the reply before moving away from the doorframe. "Alright then, it's time to get out there! You're going to want to find a girl named Bianca wearing a large green hat." Rosa looked at her mother with confusion, to which Alyss responded with a shrug of her shoulders. "Ok then… bye, mom!" Rosa got up and ran out of her room and out the house, grabbing her things in a hurry. Alyss Looked her daughter's room before leaving and going to her living room.
As soon as Rosa stepped outside her house, she stopped to think. 'Where could this girl be? Aspertia is pretty big after all... Maybe I should ask around.' Rosa's thoughts were interrupted by a shout coming down the road. "Hey! Rosa! Do you have a Pokémon yet? There's nobody to battle here and I'm getting bored!" Rosa laughed at Hugh's antics before informing him of her situation. "Well Hugh's, you might not be so bored for long. I'm getting Pokémon from some girl named Bianca!" Hugh's face turned into one of pure excitement, as he inquired for details. "Really, this girl named Bianca is giving you a Pokémon? That's great! What does she look like?" Rosa' displayed a slightly confused face, explaining "All I know is that she, uh, wears a big green hat." before Hugh could continue interrogating Rosa, his sister Lillian interrupted. "Hey, Rosa… Take good care of your Pokémon when you get it, ok?" Hugh looked over to his sister, with a somber look on his face. "Yeah… Ok! Let's find this Bianca and get your Pokémon!" Hugh turned to his sister again, saying "Ok, Lillian, you can go home now." "Ok, Big brother! Bye, Rosa!" Lillian walked away.
On their way around the city, Rosa attempted to make small talk. "Say, Hugh, what level is your Snivy now?" Hugh Beamed at the question replying "My Snivy is level five now! Pretty good considering there's nobody to battle around here… Where is this girl? I don't see a green hat anywhere!" Rosa laughed at his impatience before asking "Maybe she's in the Pokémon center?" Hugh shook his head at this "No, I was recently in there and there was nobody wearing a green hat in there." Rosa sighed before thinking out loud "just where could this girl be? Sure, the city's big, but it's not exactly easy to get lost in…" as Rosa was saying this, Hugh had an epiphany "She must be at the outlook! It's the most famous spot in the city! Come on!" Hugh proceeded to drag Rosa to the stairs of the outlook before stopping. "Alright, she must be right up ahead! Go on and get yourself a Pokémon! There's no way I'm wrong about this!"
As Rosa walked up the outlook she saw a girl wearing a puffy orange jacket, green pants, and a green hat. Rosa walked up to her. "Um… hello?" The girl, hearing Rosa turned to her. "It's so pretty! Don't you agree?" Rosa, silently questioning the girl in front of her responded. "Uh...sure? Who are you?" "Oh, Right! I'm Bianca! I'm the assistant to the Pokémon professor, Professor Juniper. Right, I'm looking for somebody here in Aspertia. Do you know anybody named Rosa? She should be...Your age?" Rosa nodded slightly, with a slight smirk on her face "Oh! You're Rosa! You're exactly like what Professor Juniper Told me about!" Rosa hesitantly asked what the professor said. "She said to look for someone who has 'Donuts' in their hair! Why do you do that?" Rosa's face of hesitation turned into one of displeasure "They're not donuts and it's perfectly normal! I put my hair like that because I want to." Bianca laughed before moving on. "Well, enough about donuts and hair, Do you want to help us complete the Pokédex?" Rosa calmed herself down before replying "Yes, of course, I do! I bet you'd find it harder to find somebody who wouldn't help complete the Pokédex!" Bianca nodded at Rosa's explanation "Wonderful! This'll help Professor Juniper's research along much more!" Bianca stopped speaking for a second and pulled out a case before talking again. "Now, for the next part. We can't have you going out there without a Pokémon! In this case, there are three Pokémon that have a total of three evolutions each. Go on, pick!"
Rosa looked at the three Pokéballs. "What are the typings of them?" Bianca pointed to the pokéball on the left "This Pokémon is Snivy, It's a pure grass Pokémon through all evolutions!" Bianca, not noticing Rosa backing up slightly, pointed to the middle Pokéball. "This Pokémon is Tepig, and it starts out as a pure fire type. When it evolves it turns into a fire-fighting type Pokémon." Bianca pointed to the right Pokéball. "This Pokémon is Oshawott. It also is a single-type Pokémon throughout all Evolutions of it. Its type is water!" Bianca stopped to think for a second and then continued to talk. "They'll all first evolve at level 17, and their final evolution is at level 36! Have you made up your mind?" Rosa unhesitatingly grabbed the Pokéball on the right, Oshawott, and opened the Pokéball. When Oshawott popped out of the Pokéball, it looked at Bianca and then Rosa, proceeding to run in circles around Rosa's legs playfully. Bianca laughed at Rosa's new Pokémon's display. "Wow, you two match perfectly! Do you have a nickname for her?" Rosa squatted down to look at the Oshawott, before speaking "do you like... Mei?" The Oshawott, happy with the name, let out a happy cry. Bianca walked up to Rosa and her Oshawott, Mei. "That's a great name, Mei! Well, now that you've got a Pokémon, I'll give you something else, a Pokédex!" Rosa stood up and accepted the Pokédex from Bianca. "I'll give you a brief review of what the Pokédex can do! It has two main functions, the first, of course is recording data about Pokémon. When you meet a new Pokémon, it'll record info about it. Of course, it won't get all the info about the Pokémon unless you catch it! The other function is helpful to new trainers like you because it'll show you the moves of your current Pokémon! Well, I'm sure you're excited and want to tell your friends and family about this, so feel free to go and tell them! Don't worry about keeping me company!" Rosa waved goodbye to Bianca and started to walk away.
"Heeey! Rosa! How long are you going to keep me waiting? I'm getting bored here!" Rosa, having no words for Hugh, just raised her eyebrow at him. "Ooh, what's that? That's your partner then? That's great! Like my sister said earlier, take great care of Your Pokémon, understand?" Rosa sighed before speaking. "Yes, Hugh, I understand. I'll be sure to take great care of her." Hugh, getting distracted looked at the Pokédex in her hands. "Hey, what's that? Looks fancy." Bianca, silently watching their conversation, walked over and interjected. "That's a Pokédex! It can record info about pokémon and can tell new trainers their Pokémon's move set!" Hugh stood still, thinking for a few seconds before walking over to Bianca. "Miss...Bianca? Please give me a Pokédex as well! With a Pokédex, I can get stronger and learn more about Pokémon. Me having a Pokédex will also help your Professor Juniper's research, right?" Bianca looked at him strangely "By the way, who are you?"
Hugh faltered, realizing he hasn't introduced himself yet. "I'm Hugh! I'm going to travel the Unova region in search of something important!" Bianca turned to think for a second, before replying to Hugh. "Well, sure! Even though I don't quite understand, Going on an adventure is always a good thing! I happen to have an extra Pokédex with me, here!" Bianca took a second to breathe before talking again. "The distribution of Pokémon throughout the region for the last couple of years have changed a lot, so more the better!" While Bianca was speaking, Hugh had an idea pop in his head. After Bianca finished speaking Hugh exclaimed "Rosa, lets battle! Let's see who's a better trainer! I'll use my Snivy that I hatched from an egg! I'll let you start." Rosa voiced a concern "Hugh, in case you haven't noticed, this is the outlook, one of the largest tourist attractions! What if we damage it? Then what?" Hugh laughed at the question "Oh, it'll be fine, practically everything is built nowadays to survive Pokémon battles!" Rosa, nodding at his explanation, pulled out her Pokéex to look at mei's moves. 'Hmm, let's see here... Tackle and Leer.' Rosa tapped on leer. 'Leer. The user gains an intimidating leer with sharp eyes. The opposing team's Defense stats are reduced.' Rosa thought about it for a second. "Well, leer will be useless if his Snivy has any grass moves. So, then my only option is... tackle. Might as well see that definition as well.' She tapped on tackle. 'Tackle. A physical attack in which the user charges and slams into the target with its whole body.' Rosa thought for a second and then spoke. "Alright, I'll start now! Mei, use tackle on his Snivy!" Hugh attempted to counteract this "Snivy, also use Tackle!" both moves landed on its target, leaving both scratched up. "Don't think I'll lose easily, Rosa! Snivy, Use leer!" The leer hit Mei, leaving her shaking a bit. Rosa quickly responded, "Mei, Use Tackle again!" Mei's tackle hit Hugh's Snivy, leaving it looking a bit worn down and tired. Hugh ordered his next move. "Snivy, use Leer again!" at the same time, Rosa shouted "Mei, Keep using tackle!" as Mei rushed in, Snivy's leer affected her, causing Mei to falter and drop her guard a bit, however, mei kept on going and slammed her body into Hugh's Snivy, causing Snivy to be a moves hit away from fainting. Hugh ordered his Snivy again. "Alright, Snivy Use tackle!" at the same time, Rosa was giving out a move to Mei. "Mei, keep it up! Use Tackle again!" Snivy and Mei rushed out at the same time, yet Snivy hit first. Snivy slammed into Mei, leaving her to appear tired and sluggish, but able to keep going. Mei then rushed and slammed her body into Snivy, knocking him out.
"I lost... That was a lot different from wild battles! Whatever, I'm happy knowing you're a strong trainer! Here's your reward! I'm heading off now, Get Stronger!" Hugh gave Rosa 500 Pokédollars before running off. Rosa, not yet accustomed to the trainer life, turned to Bianca. "Why'd he give me money?" "Well, when a Pokémon trainer loses a battle, they're required to give the winner a certain amount of money. The lower the level of Pokémon, the less money given, the higher the level of Pokémon, the more money. On another note, that battle was great! Both your Pokémon and Hugh's did great. But your Pokémon still is a bit weak, so be sure to train! Oh yeah, after that battle I'm sure you want to heal your Pokémon, let's go to the Pokémon Center, Follow me!" Rosa put Mei into her Pokéball, and walked down the pathway that leads up to outlook with Bianca and down the road and stopped in front of the Pokémon Center. "The Pokémon Center will stay the same design and shape no matter where you go in Unova! Let's go inside!" Bianca walked in with Rosa following her. Inside, Bianca Began to speak again. "Alright, I'll show you around the center! Up there is the Pokémon lady! She'll heal all the Pokémon in your party for free! Be sure to stop by anytime your Pokémon need immediate care! Go ahead, give it a try!" Rosa walked up to the counter, meekly speaking. "Um...excuse me." The lady at the counter noticed Rosa, "Oh, hello there! Would you like me to heal your Pokémon? Please hand me the Pokéball for a sec!" Rosa handed the lady her Pokéball and watched her heal Mei using a machine. After the machine was finished, the lady grabbed the Pokéall and handed it back to Rosa. "Thanks…" "No problem, Have a nice day!" Rosa walked back to Bianca, waiting for her next lesson to happen. "Alright, the next part of the Pokémon Center you need to know about is the shop! The shop will sell you items such as Potions and Pokéballs! As you get more badges, you can buy more items! Oh yeah, you see that machine near the counter of the Pokémon lady? That's the PC, it lets you store Pokémon, Email people, and let Professor Juniper check your Pokédex progress! The next thing I'll show you is how to catch Pokémon! First, you need Pokéballs, Here's five of them! Follow me!" Bianca ran out of the Pokémon center, leaving Rosa standing alone. "I wonder if she's always like that, or just putting on a show?" Rosa walked out of the Pokémon Center.
Rosa walked out of the Pokémon center to find Bianca patiently waiting. Before they could get anywhere, however, they were waylaid by Rosa's mother and Hugh's little sister. "It's nice to meet you! You must be Bianca, right? Oh, Rosa picked Oshawott? I figured she'd pick a water type! She's always had a type of affinity with water type Pokémon!" Rosa's mother, Alyss stopped for a second before pulling something out. "Right, here you are! They're running shoes!" Rosa put the shoes on. "They're a perfect fit! Do you want me to read the instructions, Rosa?" Rosa groaned." Mom, I don't need instructions on how to run." Alyss laughed. Hugh's sister, Lillian walked over to Rosa, "Here... This is from me." Lillian handed Rosa two town maps. Bianca, noticed this oddity, "Hey, why is there two town maps there?" Lillian looked at Bianca, "I want Rosa to give the other one to my big brother!" Alyss piped in, "A town map is useful, even if for now it's just a straight road to the ocean." Bianca chimed in again while watching. "Just watching this is making me happy! Let's go to Route 19! I'll teach you how to catch a Pokémon!" Bianca walked off to the gates to route 19.
"Go on Rosa, to Route 19! Be sure to see many Pokémon and trainers on your journey! And be sure to call!" with this, Rosa waved goodbye to her mother and Lillian and chased after Bianca.
