Hello. I'm aspiring to become an author in the future. This will be a story following my OC Richard DaSilva. Now even though this may be weird this is a Pokemon X Trainer story. Yes, I'm weird I noticed... Anyway if you stuck around I hope you all enjoy this story! This may be a bit slow-paced by the way. I'm making you people wait to see which pokemon it is. If you want to, make your guess in the reviews. Anyway here's the story.
I woke up excited. Today is the day I get to pick my starter pokemon. I live in the Kalos region. Mom went on vacation to Alola and Dad well I won't get into that.
Oh, I'm Richard by the way. I've been home alone for a while now. I'm 16 which means I'm six years late in grabbing my starter. I would've six years ago but heh-heh, things happen. Mom said I would be unstable after that and wanted me to wait until I knew I was ready and today's that day. Professor Sycamore said he'd be ready when I arrived.
People at school have classified me as the weird kid for two main reasons. Reason 1, of course, is because of me not having a pokemon, and number two, because I can speak to them. It sounds weird I know but it's true. I can understand them. Most people don't believe me which only now I understand why. People have shut me out since I conversated with their pokemon. Others have actually made a better relationship with their pokemon because of me.
Anyway, I have to get ready for today! I grabbed a plain black shirt and some black pants with white stripes. I also grabbed a pair of sox and boxers and jogged toward the shower.
Entering the bathroom I looked in the mirror. I looked at myself. My hairstyle was a fade on the sides, as well as the back, the top wasn't cut and usually combed, I have dark brown hair. I smiled at the mirror content with the way I look. I took off my pajamas which were just a white shirt, black shorts, and boxers. I stepped into the shower. I turned on the water. I waited for it to heat up and get to the perfect temperature. It finally got to the temperature I love to start off with. It wasn't too hot but it was hot. I pulled up the peg so the water would come out of the shower head.
The water shot out. I felt a stampede of cold water. I nearly jumped out of the shower as a reaction. Regaining my composure I finally felt the water start to heat up.
I let the water run down my body. My hair soaked and started to hang down trying to block my vision. I swept it to the side regaining my vision. I looked at the hooks on the side of the shower. Two had scrubby's and one was empty. I grabbed mine which was black and blue. The other one was Dad's and the empty one was because Mom's in Alola.
I grabbed the soap in the corner next to the hooks which had the soaps. I grabbed my Axe Men's body soap and shampoo. I poured some of it on my scrubby and put it back. I put the scrubby under the water for a few seconds. After I scrubbed my hand around it, spreading the soap. Then I scrubbed my body with the soaped up scrubby. When I was done I put the scrubby under the water so it would rinse the extra soap.
I got under the water and let the water hit my soaped body.
(Time skip: 10 minutes later)
I've stayed in the shower for too long. I turned off the water and opened the curtain. I walked to my towel and grabbed it. It was a plain blue towel. I dried myself for a few minutes. I then grabbed my clothes and put them on. I grabbed some Q-tips, hung my towel and walked to my room.
I turned on my light and walked in. I cleaned my ears and threw the Q-tips out. I looked in the mirror and combed my hair with my hands. I walked to my nightstand. I looked at a picture of me and my older sister. She had a ring on her right ring finger. She was in a hospital bed. I grabbed the ring that she gave me and put it on my right ring finger. It said, Endless Love, with two hearts on either side of the words. It was the one she was wearing in the picture. I had tears thinking about the last day I saw her.
I wiped my tears away. Today's a happy day no need for tears, Ricky. I grabbed my sweater from my doorknob and walked out of my room. Walking down the stairs I saw the living room. There were two sets of six pokeballs. I walked to them. One set was my sisters and the other set was my fathers. Both their pokemon. Well were. They were released back to the wild after each had no custody. Both with different reasons.
I looked at what my favorite was for each. My sister had a Dragonite, she was a kind Dragonite, powerful and kind. Dad had an Alakazam, it was strong and fun to be around, he had a short-temper like Dad.
I smiled at the memories and walked to the kitchen. I was gonna make some coffee but decided to skip breakfast. I was too excited to eat. I just chuckled and ran back upstairs to grab my keys. I ran down the stairs and to the door. Opening the door I saw the beautiful city around me. I turned around and closed the door and locked it. I jumped off the stairs and jogged toward Professor Sycamores lab.
(Time Skip: 15 minutes later outside the lab)
I walked up the steps to the lab. Opening the door I saw the lobby. I saw one of Sycamores disciples. Her expression widened "Oh, you must be the trainer Sycamore was talking about!" she exclaimed.
I chuckled and nodded. "Yep, that's me" I answered. She told me to wait and he'd be here momentarily. After about two minutes of waiting Sycamore came out with a tray. On the tray was eight pokeballs, a Pokedex, and I think a letter. The letter surprised me but I decided to ignore it.
Sycamore smiled and said. "Hey Ricky, it's been a while. I guess you're ready to finally become a pokemon trainer huh?". Sycamore and my sis were good friends so we know each other well.
"Yeah finally feel like I'm ready," I said excitedly. He nodded and handed me three pokeballs.
He spoke "You already know the three starters you can get. Fennekin the fire-fox pokemon, Froakie the water-frog pokemon, and Chespin the grass-hedgehog pokemon. Which one do you choose?"
I threw the pokeballs in the air. Out came three pokemon. I looked at the pokemon. Chespin seemed to be lost looking in amazement at the chandelier above. Froakie seemed to not like me. Fennekin eyes sparkled as it smiled at me. I smiled back at it. "I'll choose Fennekin, Professor Sycamore," I said smiling. It wasn't that hard of a decision.
Sycamore chuckled. "Alright then here's Fennekin's Pokeball, here's your Pokedex, and here are five other pokeballs" He gave me everything. I picked up Fennekin and said my thanks. I started to leave then Sycamore shouted "Wait! Ricky, I almost forgot!" I turned around and saw Sycamore jog towards me with the letter from earlier. "You have to read this when you get home okay?"
I looked at the letter and grabbed it. "Okay," I said smiling. I put the letter in my pocket and we traded our farewells. Fennekin looked uncomfortable so I let it down. I grabbed my Pokedex and tried to learn about my Fennekin. I clicked personal-dex and added Fennekin. This was a feature added about a year ago. I pointed my dex toward Fennekin. This is what it read.
Pokemon: Fennekin
Type: Fire
Gender: Female
Personality: Unknown
Added: Now
"Wow that's cool," I said with a chuckle "So you're a girl. You are cute like one" I said with a smile. Fennekin only smiled with her cheeks becoming red.
I held out my arm. Fennekin ran up my arm and hung on my shoulder. The sparkle in its eye returned as we left the lab. I can't wait to learn about Fennekin.
I hope this was an okay chapter. I'm new to this so, please be nice in the reviews. See you in the next chapter hopefully!
