Chapter 1

Turbulence is a bitch.

When I open my eyes I am greeted with the sight of my brother, Taka, and my mother. Right now we are on the way to some region called the "Olana" Region that my Mother got a job in. I wish I could stay in Sinnoh though, I really wanted to start my Pokémon journey there. I have no Idea what the Olana region is, I have never heard about it or even seen anything about it on TV. It is kind of Saddening to leave Sinnoh, but coming into a whole new region with different pokémon sounds really exciting. I wonder how life will be there.

I close my eyes in hopes that I can squeeze in a bit of sleep before arriving in Olana and I fall asleep.

I wake to Taka shrugging me awake.

"Ashton wake up bro! We're here!" He says.

I get up from my seat and look out of the window. Outside the plane was a beautiful region with various connecting islands. I could not believe my what I was seeing, it was beautiful.

"Well, we should be landing any second now! So not much of a wait anymore." I said.

"What are you the most excited for in the region ashton?" Taka asks.

"Well, I really can't say." I tell him. "The pokémon here are different, I guess that's cool."

The tires on the plane start coming to a screeching halt as we touch down on the Olana airport and we eventually stopped and left the plane. As I walk by the baggage claiming area I see our bags and we all grab them.

"So Mom, what is this job that you got that we had to travel all the way over here for you to get?" I ask.

"Well, I am actually going to be the Professor's assistant!" She exclaims.

"A job like this has been my dream ever since you two were just babies!"

It was very easy to believe Mom because she has loved to take care of pokémon since we were kids. I guess that a Professor's assistant is not a bad job, but to move all the way to another region to get it? I did not understand that.

"Mom, who is giving us a ride to our new house?" I ask.

"The professor is!" She says.

We wait outside for about 3 minutes before we see a green car coming up.

"Is that the Professor?" I ask

"Sure is!" She replies with a smile to her face.

When the car pulls up, the trunk opens so that we can put our Luggage in it and the Professor comes out of the car to help. The Professor is a lot younger looking than I expected. He looks like he is maybe in his mid thirties and has short brown hair and hazel colored eyes.

"Are these your kids Daisy?" The Professor asks my Mom.

"Sure are!" She replies.

"Well I am sure that they are going to have a great life here in the Olana Region!" He exclaims.

"What makes you say that?" I ask.

"Well, lets just say that I have a present for you and your brother in the lab." He says.

A Present from a man who just met me? What could this present be? Now I am very anxious to get home.

After about a ten minute car ride we finally get to our new home. It is in a City called Osha City. We pull up by our house and drop off our luggage inside.

"The Pokémon Movers should be here tomorrow, so you will have to wait until then to get your belongings" The Professor said to Mom.

"Oh that's fine, I am a patient person so that is not much of a problem for me, but when do I start my job?" She replies.

"Well you can start tomorrow if that is fine, I already have somethings planned out for you." He says.

"But a promise is a promise and I told you guys that I had a present for you in the lab!" he tells me and Taka.

"Oh wait, I get one too?" Asks Taka.

"Of course you do!" The Professor exclaims. "Now if you will please follow me to my lab?"

The lab was a very short distance from my new house so it did not take very long to get to it.

"What about your car?" Taka asks.

"I'll have another assistant go get it, no harm done" He replies. "But anyways, here we are, Will you follow me inside please?"

The outside of the Professor's lab looked a lot bigger than in the inside. That may be because of all the technological things he has inside. There are many machines that I could not even come close to recognizing. Eventually we got to his office and he showed us a cylindrical tube with pokéballs inside.

"Inside of these are-"

"Am I late!?" A girl exclaims as she busts through the door.

"No, you are just on time." He says. "Please stand next to them" He says to her as he points to us.

"Oh, um, ok." She says shyly.

"Anyways, as I was saying." He continues. "Inside of this are three Pokémon."

"No way! Are we getting our own pokémon?" Taka asks.

"That is correct Taka!" He replies. "The pokémon in here are as follow."

"The Grass type Pokémon! Turtwig!" He exclaims as he throws the ball in the air.

The Turtwig lands in front of us and and greets us.

"The Fire type Pokémon! Cyndaquil!" He exclaims as he does the same thing.

The Cyndaquil lands in front of the girl and she laughs. She shows a lot of interest towards this Pokémon.

"And lastly, the Water type Pokémon! Froakie!" He exclaims as froakie jumps out of his pokéball and lands on Taka's head with a big smile.

"I think I like this one!" Says Taka.

The turtwig slowly walks up to me and nudges his head on my upper shin bone.

"Wow, I just noticed how big this Turtwig is! Are they usually this size?" I ask the Professor.

"No. this Turtwig is a lot larger than average." He replies.

"Do you want to come with me?" I ask Turtwig as I pet its forehead.

"Twig!" It replies as it nods its head up and down.

"I guess I will take that as a yes!" I say.

"Well it seems that you have all decided on what Pokémon you want, so here are your Pokédexes!" He says as he hands us each one Pokédex.

"Lets make sure they work!" Suggests Taka.

I press the ON button on my Pokédex and it lights up, then I press the SCAN button and aim at my new Turtwig.

"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Its shell is made of earth and when it absorbs water, it becomes harder." The pokédex said.

I then pressed the STATS button to see what moves it had.

"Turtwig has the moves Tackle and Withdraw, Its ability is Overgrow."

"That's super cool!" Said the girl whose name we still have not heard.

"Hey, whats your name?" I ask the girl.

"Umm, my name is Je-Jennifer, but you can call me Jen." She said Shyly.

"Well, nice to meet you Jen!" I tell her.

"You too." She replies.

"So Professor, What do we do now?" Asks Taka.

"Well, I suppose you could take the Olana Pokémon League Challenge." He replies. "You would have to take on 8 gyms before going against the elite four and then the full tournament. Does that sound acceptable to you all?" He asks.

"That sounds great!" I say.

"Then if you want to enroll, you have to go to this city's Pokémon Center and speak with the nurse Joy, she will give you all the information that you need."

"Sounds good! Lets go!" I tell Taka.

"Uhh can I go with you guys too?" Jen asks.

"Sure!" I reply.

The three of us walk out of the Pokémon Lab with our Pokémon walking with us, and we go on our way to the Pokémon Center.
