I know I stil have a Pokepark story to do, but this idea and story just came to me. I'll work on the other story as I do this one. I'd also like to thank animatedrose for her story Smugleaf's Adventure and PKAquaFlame for their story Emerald which inspired me to write this.
It was a bright morning in the town of Littleroot. A young girl named May was sleeping in her bed. She had finally reached the age of 10 and was preparing to set out on what is known as a Pokémon journey. May awoke to the sound of her mother's voice calling her from upstairs.
"May come down here or you'll be late!" her mom yelled. May sat up and stretched.
"Coming Mom." she replied. After changing her clothes and brushing her teeth, May went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Oh May, I'm so happy." Her mom said in a soft but happy voice. "I can't believe you're about to leave on your journey."
"Mom, I've waited years for this day. Don't try to make me feel sad about leaving." May sighed.
"I'm sorry. It's just so hard seeing you go."
"She'll be fine dear." A voice said from behind them. May and her mom turned around to see her father walk through the door.
"Dad! You left the gym to see me off?" May asked happily.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world." He replied. May's father, Norman, gave her a hug. May looked at the clock ant realized that it was 7:30.
"OMG! I have to go. I don't want to be late to Professor Birch's lab." May ran to her mother and gave her a hug and a kiss. "Bye Mom and Dad. I love you both."
"We love you too May." The parents said. "Good luck." May ran outside to see her bike in the front yard. Next to it was her bag of supplies. She strapped the bag around her waist and hopped on her bike. The she rode off into the distance.
May arrived at Professor Birch's lab within minutes. She walked inside to see a lot of people in lab coats walking around, working at desks; etc. A rather large man wearing a blue shirt, white lab coat, and green shorts walked up to her.
"Oh, hello. You must be May; Norman's daughter." He said.
"Yes, that's me." She replied.
"Well I'm very sorry. Two other trainers came in earlier and already took two of the starter Pokémon." May's heart sunk.
"What! You mean there's only one left?"
"I'm afraid so. If you like, you could wait a week until we get in the other two from breeders." May was not ready to let her dream day be ruined by this incident.
"Could I see the last Pokémon first?" she asked.
"Of course. It's right back here." Professor Birch said taking her to a back room. On a large table sat a small orange, chick Pokemon. "This is Torchic." May walked up to the Pokémon and extended her hand.
"Hello." The Torchic said in its own language. It rubbed its head against May's hand.
"It's so cute." May said hugging the Torchic. "I'll take her; and I think I'll name her Kenni."
"Well I guess this all worked out then." Birch said. "Here are some Pokeballs and a Pokedex."
"Thanks." May said.
"Have fun with Kenni." He said. "But if I could ask, why did you name her Kenni?"
"Torchic's final form is Blaziken. Since Kenni's a girl, I didn't think it would be right to name her Ken."
"Oh, well I guess that makes sense."
"Now let's go Kenni." May ran outside to her bike, put Kenni in the basket and rode out.
May and Kenni began biking down route 102.
"So this girl is my new trainer? Well she seems nice at least." Kenni thought.
"Okay Kenni, first thing first, I want to become a Pokémon Coordinator." May said.
"A Pokémon Coordinator? What's that?"
"A Pokémon Coordinator shows off how beautiful and talented their Pokémon are in Pokémon Contests. Not hurting them in useless battles."
"Wow, I think I'll like Contests. After all, I am beautiful and talented." Kenni said holding her head high.
"Now that we're together, we can catch more strong and beautiful Pokémon."
"Okay, I'll handle that." Kenni said assuming a battle position." As May and Kenni went down the route, they noticed a large group of small brown and white Pokemon.
"What are those things?" May scanned the strange creatures with her Pokedex.
"Zigzagoon, the TinyRaccoon Pokémon. The hair on Zigzagoon's back is bristly. It rubs the hard back hair against trees to leave its territorial markings. This Pokémon may play dead to fool foes in battle."
"They're so cute!" May cooed. "Come on Kenni, let's go catch one."
"They look pretty stupid to me, but whatever you say." Kenni said running behind May. May looked around at all of the Zigzagoon.
"Okay Kenni, use Fire Spin." May said. Kenni spit a spiral of waves at all of the Zigzagoon, trapping them in a fiery vortex. The Zigzagoon retaliated by Tackling Kenni. She fell backwards by May.
"Hey that hurt!" She exclaimed.
"Hey Kenni, did you notice that Zigzagoon over there?" May asked pointing to a Zigzagoon to the far left. Kenni looked at the one May pointed to.
"What do you mean?"
"When that one attacked us its head glowed a bit. That means that one knows Headbutt."
"What's your point?" Kenni asked. The tilt of her head let May know she was confused.
"If that one knows Headbutt, which means it's at a higher level than the others. Let's go after that one."
"Oh, okay." The Zigzagoon was still suffering from the pain of the Fire Spin.
"Kenni, use Fire Spin again!" Kenni obeyed, burning the Zigzagoon even more. The Zigzagoon ran up to use another Headbutt.
"This is our territory! Get out of here!" it yelled.
"Kenni, dodge it and use Quick Attack!" Kenni finished the Zigzagoon knocking it out. May took out a Pokeball and threw it at the Zigzagoon. The ball shook a few times before it stopped and sparkled.
"We did it Kenni." May said.
"I think I did most of the work." Kenni said smirking at May. May ran over and picked up her new Pokémon.
"Kenni, let's go get our new friend all healed up." May returned Kenni to her Pokeball and rode her bike to the Pokémon Center.
I know it's short, but don't worry as we get more characters introduced the chapters will become longer.
