Hello! This is my first story so please be a bit kind. I got this idea while playing Pokémon Platinum and then it grew into something more. Anyway, this will most likely be a series of stories since, well, I went a bit crazy with pairing my Pokémon together. (Crazy shipper alert) I tried really hard to come up with backstories and personalities for all of my Pokémon (at least the ones I use often) and this one will chronicle each of their relationship from Route 201 all the way to Victory Road. (I be bad at descriptions TT~TT)

So anyway, here's Electric Love! :D


"It's nice to meet you sir. I called you earlier about the Pokémon?"

"Oh yes, right. Your name is…"

"Mel. Just call me Mel."

The professor examined the young soon-to-be trainer before him. She looked like an average fourteen year old. Clad in rough, blue jeans and a black long sleeve shirt. In her arms was a folded black sweater. She also had a black knitted beret with a single pale flower on the side. Her face, however, stayed straight and serious.

"Are you excited about getting your first Pokémon?"

"Oh yes, very." She said with a small smile

Oh good, she has emotions… The professor thought to himself

"Well then Miss, here is what you have to choose from."

The professor gestured over towards three balls. The young trainer looked at each one, not knowing of the contents.

"I think I'll choose this one." She said while lifting the ball to the far right

"Right then. Here are your balls and your Pokédex. You have your parent's permission to go, right?"

The trainer stayed silent and gave a small yet reassuring "Yes."

"Okay then, good luck."

The trainer placed the Pokéballs and Pokedex in her bag as she began to leave the lab. The professor just turned and went back to his research.

"Do try to keep in touch. I would like to hear about your travels."

"Will do sir and thank you."

The girl exited the lab and the professor waved goodbye from behind his desk.


I heard a click and was released from my small prison like Pokéball. The sunlight was something I haven't seen in a while so I covered my eyes with my small flippers. I suddenly felt the warmth of another being. I became startled and thrashed around with my eyes still shut. The person turned out to be that child the professor was talking about for months. It was that "trainer" that would show up to receive one of us. I was excited to leave the lab but I didn't think it would happen so quickly. I slowly opened my eyes to see her, my new trainer.

"Are you done thrashing around little guy?" she asked in a light voice

I nodded slowly and she put me back onto the ground.

"Let's see what you are…"

The girl pulled out a Pokédex that the professor had lying around the lab. She proceeded to scan me and read all sorts of info.

"A Piplup, huh? What do you think about the name Pen?"

I looked into her eyes for a long time seeing if she was making a joke. She was dead serious. I then let out a sigh and she registered me as "Pen". Not the most original name but I digress.

"Well Pen, I think it's time for us to get training, don't you agree?"

I nodded quickly at that idea. I really yearned to train and get all the way to victory road. I assumed that my partner wanted to do the same.

"Oh right! You don't know my name yet, do you? My name's Mel. It's nice to meet you Pen."

Mel held her hand out for me to shake and I took it with great enthusiasm. I knew we were going to do great things together.


We walked back to Route 201 in order to train up. There we made two new friends: Beah the Bidoof and Stan the Starley. Again, those names just really got to me but we all let it go pretty quickly. Mel definitely has room for improvement. After a bit of more training Mel decided to set up camp on Sangem Beach. The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach reverberated throughout the tent and I couldn't sleep. I exited the tent to find that Stan and Beah have done the same.

"Evening" Stan said while barely turning my way.

"Hey. You guys couldn't sleep either?"

"Nah, the waves were keeping us up. It's just that we've never been outside of Route 201, right Ste- I mean Stan?"

Stan nodded in agreement then hopped off of the stone he was perched on. I waddled a bit closer to join them by the shore while looking back at the light blue tent I emerged from.

"Don't you guys think we should head back in?" I inquired

Stan thought about it for a bit then said "You're right. We wouldn't want to worry Mel. That and it's getting a bit chilly."

Beah, not really wanting to budge soon noticed that he was standing alone and turned to find Pen and Stan leaving him there like a statue.

"He-Hey! Wait up guys!"

We all entered the tent trying our hardest not to wake the sleeping trainer. Then once we all reached our respective balls, I bid everyone a goodnight and went to sleep.


So that's it. This story may not update that much but I need to keep time open for school work and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm thinking up chapter 2 as I type so I hope these don't turn out too bland.
