It was a dark stormy night in the Sapphire region. A girl yet knew her fate. "Izzy." her mom called. Izzy came downstairs brushing her curly fire-red hair. Her mom wanted her to take the trash out so she put on a red hoodie along with her ripped jeans and took it out to the dumpster. As Izzy was about to walk back inside she heard a faint "cynda" coming from beside a tree. She went to the tree to find a baby cyndaquill barely alive. Izzy wrapped it up and hurried to a Pokemon center in the next town over. Along the way they ran into wild pidgy in Flame Forrest. Enraged the pidgy bomb dived Izzy as she covered Cyndaquill screaming as she ran through the avalanche of pidgy. Finally Izzy had reached the Pokemon center in Magby Village.

As soon as nurse Joy saw the cyndaquill she rushed him away from Izzy without asking questions. The horror and fright on Izzy's face was intense as she waited outside. After five hours nurse joy came back with a smile on her face. "That cyndaquill will be just fine. you can go see him if you'd like." Izzy rushed to the little guys side. Izzy lay her head by the little Pokemon who was feeling better. The cyndaquill rubbed its head on her hand affectionately. Izzy looked at the Pokemon. Her grey eyes filling with tears as she realized the Pokémon was okay. She blinked them away. "Cyndaquill how would you like to come with me?" Izzy asked. Cyndaquill let out an excited "cynda cynda!" as it jumped in her arms. The raining had stopped and Izzy was about to walk home with cyndaquill at her side when nurse Joy had said "You will need a poke-ball to keep him in." She handed Izzy a poke-ball, but cyndaquill refused to go in.

Izzy knelt beside her new Pokemon and asked "cyndaquill why don't you want to go in the poke ball?" Cyndaquill replied with a weak and sad "quill" Izzy smiled and said "you're scared of the poke-ball? That's okay." Izzy patted her shoulder and cyndaquill hopped on and they walked out of the Pokémon center. As they went through the forest they met the Pokemon professor Mr. Jake. He smiled and said "Izzy you have a Pokemon." Izzy nodded and smiled. "Come back to my lab with me." he said. Izzy went back to his lab and there she received five poke-balls and a pokedex. She thanked the professor and headed back to her house.

She ran in and her mom saw that she had a Pokémon, the pokedex, and poke-balls. "Professor Jake gave you a Pokémon?" she asked. Izzy shook her head. "I found him earlier tonight. That's why I was gone so long mom." Izzy had said. She explained the events that took place to her mother. Her mother had smiled and told her to go to sleep and wait until morning to start a journey with her new friend. Izzy put her poke-balls and pokedex in her purse, and crawled into bed. Right as she was falling asleep she heard cyndaquill. It sounded as if he was having a bad dream. She picked up the Pokémon waking it up. Cyndaquill looked at her. "Would you like to sleep with me?" she asked. Cyndaquill replied with a happy "cyndaquill!" Smiling Izzy wrapped the Pokémon in her arms and they both drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow would be the start of their very own journey.
