I do not own pokemon, but do own Kyle.

Route 35 . . .

In the tall grass, pokemon run wild and can attack any trainers or other pokemon without any warning. Suddenly the grass began to rustle and two drowzees came upon two baby nidorans (male and female). They decided that it was time to have a little fun with the nidoran and started to use confusion against them. Without warning a wave of mud shot toward both of them and them hundreds of little poison needles knocked them both silly for a couple of seconds, enough time for a nearby trainer to yell," Good job, Paine! Hey you, nidorans! RUUUUUUUUUUUN NOW! We will hold them off so that you can escape!" The two nidoran looked toward each other, nodded to the trainer, and then took off toward their nests before the drowzee were even able to recover. "Okay, Paine! Let finish them off and teach them a lesson . . . Astonish!" Kyle called out to his croagunk. The croagunk sneaked up on the two drowzee and surprise attacked them, making them faint and giving him some experience points. "That was great, Paine! Let's keep going it's getting late!" Kyle exclaimed as croagunk came back up to his trainer.

They continued to fight yamna, abra, and a nidoran female (different from the one that he saved earlier) until they finally reaced his house. "Hey Dad, I'm back! What did you want when you called earlier?" Kyle called as he entered into the back yard breeding area for his dad's pokemon.

"Oh, Kyle! Good, I need you to run an errand for me as soon as possible . . . you remember my old associate Professor Elm, right!" Kyle's dad, Ryan, answered while calling back a pokemon.

"Yeah, what kind of pokemon did you just recall dad?" Kyle asked curiously as he went up to a pair of oddish to feed them some special pokemon food.

"Well, I will let Professor Elm explain that because the errand is to deliver an egg that this pokemon just laid to him. But I also have some exciting news for you; I was able to get your pokemon license for you and some pokeballs. You can officially go on your pokemon journey after you finish the errand and I know the perfect pokemon to start with . . ." Ryan explained.

"Do you mean that I can take Paine with me as my starter pokemon?" Kyle exclaimed as he jumped up and down with his new pokemon partner.

"Yes . . . Now here is your training card and a pokegear!" Ryan told his son before continuing," But you need to call back home before you actually leave because the professor will need to register all the pokemon to your trainer I.D. and that way we will know what is going on with you."

"Ok Dad! But don't I need to go get some supplies and a backpack for the journey . . ." Kyle started before he saw that his mother had a brand new backpack," Never mind, so do I wait until tomorrow or leave tonight?"

"I say that you and Paine leave first thing in the morning that way you can have two good meals before you hit the road and have to fend for yourselves for a while!" Morgan, Kyle's mom, answered for her husband. At the edge of the tall grass, two baby nidoran were watching the events and decided that they wanted to follow this new trainer for a while. Kyle enjoyed his last meal with his parents and went to bed at an early time thinking about the adventures that he was getting ready to experience with his best friend, Paine. He already had a great idea of the type of pokemon that he wanted to train and it had to do with his nickname. The next morning, Kyle enjoyed some breakfast and left early in the morning to head toward New Bark Town.

"Okay Paine, are you ready to begin our pokemon journey after we finish this errand. I really can't wait to find out what kind of pokemon that is inside of this pokeball, so let's hurry and OOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIIIT!" Kyle screamed as he fell into a pit trap set up to catch a lot group of pokemon. Kyle looked around and noticed a hurt nidoran female being guarded nidoran male. "Hey you're the pokemon that we saved from those drowzees yesterday. Oh no, what happened to her? Here let me help . . ." Kyle started when suddenly the nidoran male charged toward him with a peck attack that Paine stopped by jumping down and using a poison sting attack to slow it down. "No Paine, don't hurt him he is just trying to protect his sister! I know use astonish and I will catch them both so that we can get them to a pokemon center." Paine did just that while dodging another peck attack by leap frogging around him, which forced the nidoran male to try another attack, leer. Paine covered his ears to stop the attack from hurting him worse than it already did, but it also left him open for another peck attack. "NOOOOO, PAAAAINE! Ok, let try to attack him with a low powered mud slap because he is just doing what he can for his sister!" Kyle yelled. Paine nodded to answer and then started to swipe at some mud at the male nidoran, which hit him at about half strength but left him struggling to get back up. Kyle noticed that and sent out to pokeballs to catch the two nidoran. The nidoran female was caught without any trouble because she was still injured from the fall, but the nidoran male fought and made the pokeball wobble back and forth before it also pinged. "Okay Paine, we need to get out of this trap and get them to a pokemon center before they get any worse. Can you get out and grab something to help me climb out?" Kyle asked Paine before he jumped out and ran off to find something. A few minutes later, Paine returned with a green vine that he lowered down into the pit and helped Kyle to climb out. "Good job, Paine! Let's hurry up and get to a pokemon center," Kyle told Paine. They ran out of the grass and started to run toward the pokemon center, but a pokemon trainer stopped him right before he was able to enter Goldenrod City . . .

"Hey, buddy! How about a pokemon battle?" the trainer called out to Kyle.

"Sorry, but I need to get two injured nidoran to the pokemon center! I found them both hurt inside of a pit trap and the female was worse off than the male," Kyle answered before running off and yelling," I will definitely battle you after I help these pokemon!"

"Ok, he seems like a great guy . . . I can't wait to battle him!" the trainer said to her vulpix that she had released.

A few minutes later, Kyle made it to the pokemon center and yelled," Nurse Joy, Nurse Joy . . . I need help with these two pokemon that I rescued from a pit trap."

"Ok what kind of pokemon are they and what kind of injuries?" Nurse Joy asked the frantic young man.

"It was a nidoran female and nidoran male! The nidoran male is only hurt from battling my croagunk and the fall and I think that the nidoran female was hurt from the fall mostly, but something else might have happened to her because she was hurt bad," Kyle answered back finally calming down a little.

"Okay just release the pokemon to me and I will do everything in my power to help them both . . . oh does your croagunk need to be healed also?" Nurse Joy stated.

"Yes, he was battling against the nidoran male and did get some damage, but I was more worried about the two young nidoran because they probably not used to battling as much as Paine!" Kyle exclaimed as he handed over all three of his pokeballs.

"Don't worry your croagunk and nidoran male will be ready in about an hour! I think that the nidoran female will be back to her old self by early tomorrow morning. You are more than welcome to spend the night here and wait for them instead of heading back home tonight . . ." Nurse Joy explained to Kyle.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy!" Kyle exclaimed while grabbing the offered blanket and a key to one of the rooms that they offer to trainers. An hour later, a chansey entered his room and gave him back Paine's and the nidoran male's pokeball. "Ok let me release the nidoran male and let him know what is going on with his sister!" Kyle thought outloud before letting croagunk and the nidoran out of their pokeballs. The nidoran male immediately began to look for his sister and then he noticed Kyle and croagunk. He gave them both an evil glare and seemed to be ready to attack before Kyle began to calmly explain the situation to him. "I know that you are upset, but I was able to get help for your sister and she is in good hands. After she is healed, then you can both decide to go with me as my pokemon or I will release you back onto Route 35, ok!" The nidoran nodded his head and began to curl up on top of the bed next to croagunk and Kyle before falling asleep.

The next morning, the trio was woken up by the call of "Ch . . . Chansey, chanse" as the Chansey from last night re-entered the room to bring Kyle the pokeball of the nidoran female. Kyle decided to release her so that she could be returned to her brother and they could make their decision about coming with him or going back to Route 35. It seemed that the two nidoran siblings were discussing what their plans for the future were going to be the entire time that they traveled through Goldenrod City. When Kyle first made it onto Route 35, he was ambushed by the same trainer that stopped him yesterday when he was hurrying toward the pokemon center.

"Hey there are you ready to battle now or do I have to wait a little while longer?" the trainer called.

"Um, can you wait until these two nidoran decide what they want to do because it will change who I will use to battle you?" Kyle asked.

"Sure just come back over here afterwards and then we can battle!" the trainer answered back.

"Ok, see you in a minute!" Kyle told him while moving on down Route 35 to the area where the nidorans live and gave them a choice," It is up to you now, nidoran (female and male) I will break the pokeball if you want to leave and return home to your nest or you can come with me and I will train you to become stronger just like my croagunk. It is completely up to you and I will not try to influence you at all!"

The two nidoran wandered away toward the grass and seemed to be talking between them about what they want to do. It took them several minutes, but finally both of them walked back over to Kyle.

That is my first chapter and I would really like to know what you think about it. This is my first pokemon fanfic that I have ever tried to write. Next chapter we will find out the decision of the two nidoran siblings and will officially have a pokemon battle against a trainer. Please review and let me know something, even if it is criticism about my writing.
