Ch 1:
A ferry arrives in Kanto, just off Pallet Town. On it stands Tristan a 10 year old from the Johto region and his partner, Phanpy. Johto is not a region that has been explored or discovered yet, in fact Kanto is the only one that stands alone as a travelable region. Tristan and his Phanpy get off the ferry and head towards the Pokemon Lab in Pallet Town. Tristan walks around for an hour before finding it. There is a large lab surrounded by miles and miles of vast fields. There are a few other 10 year olds who are waiting by the lab because today is the day that 10 year olds start their journey and are given their starter Pokemon to begin their journey. Tristan joins the group and they all are talking about their journeys and what they want to do. Tristan starts talking to a boy called Adam who says he likes Tristans Phanpy and Tristan says Phanpy is his very first Pokemon and his starter. Adam says he wants to choose Bulbasaur because he thinks they are the best Pokemon. Suddenly the doors to the Lab open and Prof. Oak stands in front of them. The kids are all gobsmacked and Prof. Oak introduces himself and talks to them about the Kanto region. He mentions the Pokemon League in 12 months time and that he wants all his trainers to be there. Tristans eyes widen and he decides he will be there and will win the League. Prof Oak calls them in all at once and the children choose their Pokemon. Adam is first and chooses Bulbasaur. Another boy chooses Charmander and a girl chooses Squirtle. Prof. Oak presents more starter Pokemon and all are chosen except the second Squirtle. Tristans turn is up and the Professor urges him to choose a starter. Tristan declines and says he will choose Phanpy to be his first Pokemon. The professor understands and gives Tristan his Pokedex and some money to begin the journey. Tristan leaves but Adam catches up to him outside the lab and challenges him to a battle. Tristan accepts and they use Phanpy and Bulbasaur. Phanpy uses Tackle but Bulbasaur dodges and uses Vine Whip to catch Phanpy and throw it up and down. Phanpy uses Sand Attack to spray Bulbasaur with sand and it loosens its grip for Phanpy to perform a Rollout attack. Bulbasaur uses Tackle to hit Phanpy and Phanpy cannot dodge a Razor Leaf which knocks it out. Tristan has lost his first Pokemon battle. He picks Phanpy up and gives it a potion and feeds it and Adam goes on his way. Tristan gets a call on a Telephone in the Lab and the professor lets him answer it. Tristans mums calls to check up on him and then tells him that his friend Peter is here and Tristan is surprised.
