So here is the first chapter of my first Pokemon Fanfiction! I hope you enjoy it:)

Note: I DO NOT own Pokemon or any of its characters! They DO NOT belong to me.

Chapter 1: A New Adventure!

Soft rays of sunlight filtered in through the window and casted their light upon the sleeping figure of a girl. She was sleeping soundly, her breathing slow and steady, the girl was as comfortable and warm as a Swadloon in its leaf. A Pikachu shaped alarm clock sat on a night stand beside her bed, the time read seven fifty- nine a.m. The second hand ticked away. 55…56…57…58…59…PIKA PIKA PIKACHU!

The girls blue eyes slowly fluttered open. A yawn escaped her lips as she clumsily reached for the alarm clock. Eyes still closed she managed to hit the snooze button. She smiled and with a happy sigh, settled back in to her bed. "Sweet dreams…"she whispered.

The girl's eyes flew open and she jumped out of her bed and checked the Poke' Calendar that hung on her bedroom wall. She checked it multiple times to make sure she wasn't dreaming still. A huge smile spread across her face and she jumped up and down a little. Finally settling down, the girl went to hop in the shower. She turned the water on without thinking and slid into the shower. "Yikes!" she squealed, as jets of freezing cold water sprayed her. Adjusting the water temperature to a more comfortable setting she continued.

When she was done, the girl wrapped herself in a soft, fluffy Ducklett towel. Drying of quickly and wrapping herself in the towel, she brushed her teeth and carefully combed her long brown hair. Stepping back into her room she went to her closet and took out a special bag. In it contained her outfit she had been saving since her sister had bought it for her. The girl threw on the clothes and looked in a mirror. She put her hands on her hips and grinned, they fit like a glove. The outfit consisted of blue jean shorts that were a little torn-up looking, a plain white tank top, a black vest, pink and black military-style combat boots, and a pink and white hat with a poke ball design on it. Fiddling with her hair a little, she smiled, satisfied with her appearance.

The girl bolted down the staircase that led to the first floor. A girl probably in her early twenties was cooking in the kitchen. She had her brown hair in a pixie-style haircut and wore a pink t-shirt, skinny jeans, and a cooking apron. Beside her stood a huge Dragonite, a rare pokemon for the Unova region.

"Hey, Touko! How's it going?" she grinned.

Touko sat herself down at the kitchen table eager for whatever food her sister was making. "Nothing much Mei." She looked sideways at her sister. "So…Whatcha making?" she asked nonchalantly.

Mei smiled to herself. Today was a very special day for her little sister to she wanted it to start off great. "Oh, you know. Just a huge stack of my famous chocolate chip pancakes!" she exclaimed. Turning to Touko, she set a heaping stack of pokemon-shaped pancakes in front of her sister. "See if you can finish that!" she said mischievously.

Touko smiled to her sister. "Challenge accepted." She replied. Touko then dug into the food and finished it within five minutes. She slammed her fork down on table, savoring victory and the delicious taste of chocolate.

Mei gaped at the empty plate like a Magikarp with no water. "How...? Nevermind. I have something special to give you!" She went to a closet and pulled out a bag and a box. Rummaging through it a little and grabbed something. "Ah-ha! Here it is." She set a bag and a small box in front of her. "Go ahead look inside!"

Without hesitation, Touko unzipped the pink messenger bag. "Holy Arceus…" she whispered in awe. In it contained about two dozen potions, ten full heals, berries of every sort, five revives, and many other useful items. "Mei…I-is all this for me?!" asked Touko.

Mei chuckled. "Yes, Touko all of this is for you. This is my old bag that I used when I went on my first adventure. It served me well and now it will be yours. I want my little sister to be able to treat her Pokemon effectively and treat herself well too. So, I also included a special sleeping bag, a town map, money, etc. All you would need to feel comfortable and prepared!" Her sister just stared at her.

Touko felt tears rise to her face. What is this? She never cries so easily! But she was so overcome with emotion. "M-mei! You are the greatest sister in the history of the world! I love you so much!" she cried as she buried her face in her sister's shirt. Mei always smelled like home and home was wherever her sister was.

Mei stroked her sister's hair. "Touko, I'll love you forever and always. Nothing will ever keep us apart. Not even when you leave today to go on your adventure. Just remember that your big sis is always here for you and if you ever need any help, I will hop on Dragonite and we will come to you. Even if it means all you need is a hug!" Now she was crying too. Touko was like her child not her sister. Their parents had died and left them alone long ago, so Mei was always taking care of her. She wasn't worried for Touko, Mei knew that her little sister was tough enough to go on this adventure, but still…

"Tell you what Touko," said Mei. "Why don't you open up that little box right there?" Touko sniffled a little and wiped the tears from her eyes with a smile. "Sure." Touko gently and carefully opened the gift and took out its contents. A Xtransceiver and a heart-shaped locket with a photo of herself, Mei, and Dragonite. Touko grinned at Mei and hugged her. "You are simply the best!" she squealed.

"Holy Mew! You need to head to Professor Juniper's lab! Or you're gonna be late!" she exclaimed. "Make sure you have everything you need: Bag. Check. Running Shoes. Check. Xtransciever. Check. Hat. Check. One hug and kiss. Check! You are all set kiddo." Mei looked at her sister one last time. "Touko, remember what I said. Don't hesitate to call me! If you need any help with your Pokemon, either go to a Pokemon Center or call Professor Juniper! Alright?"

"Yes ma'am! We are ready to go!" Touko gave her sister one last hug and a kiss on the cheek and she bolted out the door. When she was outside Touko looked at her house one last time. "Good bye house. I won't be seeing you for a very long time." She turned around and knocked into somebody.

"Oops! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-"she stopped mid-sentence. In front of her was a tall boy in glasses. He had dark hair and eyes. He looked down at her in annoyance. "Oh! Cheren I didn't know it was you! Sorry…"She apologized.

The boy adjusted his glasses. "It's fine. Just watch where you are walking." His eyes widened and he looked at her. "Touko are you…?"

"Starting an adventure? Why yes! And you?" Touko loved teasing Cheren. The boy had lost his usual cool self. She chuckled a bit.

"Yes." Cheren replied curtly. By now he had regained his composure. "Touko, have you seen Bianca yet? She's supposed to meet us at the Professor's Lab." He asked.

Touko tapped her lips thinking. She hadn't seen Bianca since yesterday. "No." She said.

"Well then, let's go check her house out." Cheren then walked away. Touko followed him. Nuvema Town was pretty small, so everyone's houses were relatively close together. They arrived at her house shortly and walked up to the door. Touko was about to knock when…WHAM, she was knocked backwards and landed on her back side. "Cobalion's sword…" she cursed, while getting up.

"Touko! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! I'll do anything! I can be your servant for life even!" a female voice quickly said. Touko had managed to right herself and patted down her shorts. She looked at the girl who was speaking. She had short blonde hair, which was covered by green hat, wore a long skirt, and had sparkling green eyes.

"Bianca! I didn't expect you to answer the door like that." Touko chuckled. Bianca was always so full of energy and could never get her thoughts together. She was pretty much a space cadet.

"Well, I'm still sorry for knocking you down I guess I don't know my own strength!" Bianca laughed.

Meanwhile, Cheren's impatience had been growing and growing. He just didn't understand why girls have to talk so much! Cheren breathed out a long sigh and fixed his glasses. "Hey, you two? Why don't we head over to Professor Juniper's Lab?" The two girls finally realized what Cheren meant and gave cheer.

"Beat you there Cheren!" Touko challenged. She ran full speed ahead. I'm so excited. We all finally get our own Pokemon, she thought. The trio approached the laboratory and stopped. Touko felt very nostalgic for some reason. Was it because this would be the last time she'd get to see this familiar building for a long time? Maybe, she thought with a sad smile. The brown haired girl turned the handle of the front door.

They all walked into the building. Inside it was like a hurricane had come through. A woman in a lab coat stood looking out a window. She had light brown hair in a type of beehive hairdo and intelligent green eyes that seemed like they could tell the future. When she noticed they were standing there she jumped startled they were there and laughed. "Hi! I'm Professor Juniper, but you can call me the Pokemon Professor. Sorry for the mess I was looking for some important documents." She hopped over a mountain of papers and came up to them. The Professor inspected them all and shook their hands. "Hm! You seem like you are trainers with could hearts and good intentions. I've been expecting you all! Come along, don't mind if you step on something." They three children followed her slipping and sliding on the loose paper that was on the floor. You couldn't even tell if the floor was hardwood or tile.

"Alright! As I said before I am a Pokemon Professor, which means I study Pokemon as a profession. Not only that but I'm extremely curious about how Pokemon came into existence. Recently, though, I have been extremely busy. So, I just can't go out and do field work like a usually do. I'm in need of three brave children who are seeking adventure! And you three are exactly what I'm looking for. Do you have any idea what this is?" She said while holding up a device.

Cheren instantly answered. "That's a PokeDex, a tool which enables a Pokemon Trainer to record a Pokemon's data after they meet or capture them."

"Very good Cheren, it's exactly as he said. You could even call it an encyclopedia for Pokemon. I want to give you three each one." The Professor handed Touko a shiny pink one. How this device can be able to hold so much knowledge is a mystery to me, she wondered.

"Alright you three! It's time for you to pick your starter Pokemon, which will accompany you on your adventure!" Professor Juniper hopped over another mountain of papers and reached her desk, grabbing a stack of papers and dropping them on the floor. She grabbed a cylindrical device and approached the children. "Here we are! Inside here contains the three Pokemon: Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott."

Touko stared at the three Poke Balls. Which one should I choose, she thought. What if I choose the wrong one! Cheren and Bianca looked at her and nodded to each other. "Touko! Why don't you pick first?" said Bianca with a grin.

Touko looked at her friends in amazement. "Really? Alright!" she smiled. Touko took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to settle herself down. Then a blue light started to pulse in one of the Poke Balls. It seemed to say, "Pick me! Pick me!" Touko didn't think she just grabbed. Cheren and Bianca picked theirs. Touko was still confused at what she saw and it troubled her. Pushing it out of her mind, she focused on the Poke Ball in her hands. "I choose you!" she said as she threw it into the air.

A red light appeared and out popped an Oshawott! "Osha osha!" it cried. It looked straight at Touko with intelligent eyes that seemed to look right into her very soul. And without either of them knowing a bond that would last forever started, right there and then, between Touko and Oshawott. Touko looked over at her two friends they were happily playing with their Pokemon. Bianca had received Tepig and Cheren got Snivy.

"Okay everyone! Your adventure has officially started now that you have your first Pokemon. I hope you all will find that going on an adventure is going to be one of the best experiences of your life not only for you but for your Pokemon as well." The Professor smiled warmly. "Remember you three, treat your Pokemon with love and respect and I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you Professor Juniper!" They said together. The three walked out of the building into the crisp air of early autumn. Touko inhaled the aroma of fallen leaves and dirt. She looked down at Oshawott and saw that it was doing the same, she laughed. Touko looked around and saw that Cheren and Bianca were both gone. "Well, they didn't even think to say good bye or good luck, huh?" she said. Double checking she had everything she smiled determinedly at Oshawott and headed out to Route 1.
