I do not own Pokemon in general. See my Profile for characters I do own.
Prologue
Hello. My name is Aaron Ketchem. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am 10 years old and tomorrow I start my Pokemon journey! I live here in New Bark Town with my Dad, Daniel Ketchem, who works for Professor Elm. However, he said that there is no guarantee that he will save a Pokemon for me. It's first come, first serve.
I have messy black hair and brown eyes. I wear a red and black baseball cap, a black t-shirt hidden by a blue and white jacket (almost like a hoodie without the hood) and a pair of jeans.
I haven't always lived in New Bark Town. Dad and I moved here five years ago. Before, we lived in Viridian and Dad said I was born in Pallet. I have three best friends: Vincent, Jimmy, and Marina. However, they are a year younger than me, so I'll be pretty lonely this journey. I know the other trainers who are leaving, but I'm not too good friends with them. I also have my own rival already. His name is Greg. I HATE him. He's always picking on me. Oh well. I can't wait till I beat him in a battle.
You might be wondering about my Mom. The truth is, before Dad worked for Professor Elm, he worked for this company. I don't remember the name, but they worked him long and hard. And my Mom was under so much stress, she couldn't take it anymore and left. It almost seems like Dad is hiding another part of the story, but he won't talk about it. Maybe I'll find out on the journey. Who knows? Maybe I'll even meet Mom.
Oh well. I have to get to bed now. I wonder what Pokemon I'll end up with. I better enjoy tonight. Who knows how long it will be before I sleep in another bed. To think, this time tomorrow, I'll have my own Pokemon.
To Be Continued
A/N: Like it? The actual story is in 3rd Person, but I thought a good intro would be Aaron doing a brief introduction about himself. Please review and no flames.
