This is the story of Robin, today was Robin's 16Th birthday and in his family this meant he could finally set out on his journey to become a Pokemon master, most children in kanto set out at the age of 10 but in robin's family the children stayed home until they were 16 working in their father's poke-mart. Robin had only one sibling, his older sister Lucy who was 19 and had already left home although robin didn't hear much from his sister since she started her journey to become a Pokemon trainer.
Robin had waited for this day for most of his life, he had always loved Pokemon and knew that he could be the very best Pokemon trainer, he cared for and loved Pokemon and couldn't wait to meet professor oak and get his very first Pokemon partner.
In the kanto region many new trainers get their first Pokemon from professor oak in pallet town, when done in this way the trainer gets a choice of three different Pokemon
Charmander the fire type, Bulbasaur the grass type and finally Squirtle the water Pokemon, it was this Pokemon that Robin was going to choose. It had always been a tradition in Robin's family to choose Squirtle, his sister had a Wartortle and his father a Blastoise back in his day. It had been a long journey for Robin and his family but they finally made it to Pallet town with it's rolling green hills and luscious green grass and fields.
It was a drastic change from their home of HopHop town, a city located in the outskirts of the much larger Celadon city, although not as big as Celadon there was still plenty for Robin and his sister to do especially when they were growing up, and there were always Pokemon in the Pokemon centre that always needed to be helped, which is where Robin and Lucy spent most of their time as young children. The family began the climb up the last hill before Pallet town and Robin's hear began to race faster and faster with every step he took, every second drew him closer to the beginning of his dream and to the meeting of his new best friend. As Pallet town came in to view he couldn't believe his eyes, this was the day he had been dreaming about for so many years and pallet town was even better than he had imagined it. He could not wait for his parents or his aunt to reach the brow of the hill like he had, as soon as he identified Oaks lab in the distance he darted off as fast as his legs would carry him, within minutes he was standing at the front door and a lump appeared in his throat as he knocked the door more nervous than he had ever been before.
The door opened and Robin stood there lost for words, his sister stood in the doorway and greeted him with a warm smile "why hello there little brother, I'm surprised it took you this long to get here! you can't be that slow on your journey or you will miss the Pokemon league entirely!" she chuckled to herself with a broad sincere smile on her face. "mum and dad aren't as fast as they used to be! neither is auntie Kate!" Robin retorted, Auntie Kate was the sister of robin and Lucy's father she was roughly the same age as their dad and they both had brown hair and bright green eyes, everyone admired aunt Katy and it wasn't just robin and Lucy that called her that, she was something of a celebrity back in HopHop town as she was the only trainer from there ever to reach the last 8 of the kanto Pokemon league.
Robin was going to be the one who came from HopHop town and win the Pokemon league, it was his dream to make hophop town famous across the world. But as he began daydreaming of him holding aloft the Pokemon league trophy a voice brought him back to reality, he opened his eyes and before him was professor oak himself, Robin couldn't believe he was meeting the great professor oak in the flesh, Oak cleared his throat and ushered Robin into his lab.
