I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON

BEEP

BEEP!

BEEP!

An alarm clock blared out in the dark room next to a messy bed. In it was a 16 year old, long sandy blonde haired man named Dustin. He held out his hand to hit the button, but because he wasn't looking, he missed a few times before finally stopping that wretched noise.

"Finally." Dustin thought. He looked over to see the time.

6:32."Why'd it go off at 6:30? I don't...""That's not my alarm clock." Dustin said out loud.

He looked down.

"This isn't my bed."

He looked around.

"This isn't my room."

He was silent for a few seconds.

"WHERE AM I?!!!!"

Dustin is now in the world of the Pokémon Anime! Luckily, Dustin knew a lot about the anime, so he would feel right at home, but he's very far from home. It's not really important what he did or was in the real world, because this world is vastly different from the world he knows!

Dustin ran to look in a mirror that hanged next to a dresser and turned on the light to see someone who looked... sort of like him, but different.

"Oh no... where am I?" He asked.

Dustin opened the door in the room to find that he was upstairs. So, he walked down to see a table with an assortment of items on it. Clothes, a backpack, and a package with a note on it. Dustin looked down to read it.

Don't forget to give this to Professor Oak!

"That looks like my handwriting." he thought. "Wait, that says Professor Oak."

Dustin saw a window covered by curtains, which he opened. Outside he saw some houses scattered around. The one that caught his attention, though was the barnhouse, which had a strange looking bird on the roof.

"It that a... Dodrio?!"

He internally freaked out.

"I'M IN THE ANIME!!"

Dustin was pretty much hyperventilating now. He knew that it wasn't a dream. It felt real, but how could he have gotten here?

"Why am I here?! I should be... dead." said Dustin.

"The car accident! I've been reincarnated into the Pokémon Anime."

He looked back at the package.

"Well, I guess that I should take this to Oak, after I get dressed, course."

He put on a white t-shirt with a black jacket over it, with jeans and cool looking tennis shoes. He pulled the backpack over his shoulders and grabbed the package. It was heavier than he expected, but he could still easily bring it to Professor Oak's house, which wasn't that far away from his new house.

"So this is my life now." he thought. "I'm a freakin' delivery guy."

He walked and walked until he finally made it the gates, which were open. Dustin knocked twice on the door and someone opened it.

"Dustin!" said Professor Oak. "You finally made it. Oh, and you have my package! I can't believe my Poké Balls got sent my assistant's house instead of mine.

"Assistant?"

"Come in!" Oak said. "Two of the 10 year olds are already here."

Dustin went upstairs with him to see a large room with many electronics in it.

"This is really happening."

"Come on, Gramps. Can we get a Pokémon now?" said a blue shirt wearing dude.

"Gary. Of course it's him, but who's the other kid?"

The kid had black hair and had on glasses with a puffy white jacket on.

"Dustin, you know my grandson, Gary." said Oak.

He pointed at the other kid.

"That's Clark."

Clark ran over to Dustin.

"N..nice to meet you, sir." he nervously said.

"You can just call me Dustin, dude."

"Oh, sorry." Clark responded.

"There's also supposed to be another kid, but i don'tknow where he is."

"GRAMPS! I'm fed up with waiting. I want my Pokémon now." Gary yelled.

Oak scowled at him.

"Fine, pick your Pokémon." Oak sighed.

Clark was filled with excitement. "I bet he's going to pick Charmander! It looks like a strong Pokémon."

"Well, I think he'll pick Squirtle."

"I KNOW that he'll pick Squirtle."

Gary picked up one of the Poké Balls.

"I choose Squirtle!" he said as he threw the ball.

It opened, revealing a blue turtle looking thing with a brown shell.

"SQUIRTLE!" it yelled.

"It looks like I got a best Pokémon here!" said Gary.

He put his Pokémon back in the ball.

"Clark, pick your Pokémon." said Professor Oak.

Clark went over to look at the two remaining Poké Balls.

"He looks like the type of guy who would pick Bulbasaur."

"I choose Bulbasaur!" he said.

Clark held up the ball with pride.

"Good choice, Clark." said Oak. "I guess this means the Charmander is for the other kid."

"Wait, this is my chance!"

"Actually, Professor Oak." said Dustin. "What if I took the Charmander?"

"Well, what do you mean?" Oak asked.

"I go on a Pokémon journey like these two. I could even become a Pokémon master!"

"Dustin, you're not ten. Your opportunity has passed to do something like that."

"Has it really?" Dustin walked over to the Poké Ball and picked it up. "With Charmander, I'll get 8 gym badges and compete in the Pokémon league! In fact, I'll even beat your grandson in it!"

"Hahaha! That's not gonna happen, loser! I'm going to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world."

"Not if I beat you in the league!"

"Can I?"

"You're on!"

"Settle down, Gary!" said Oak. "Look Dustin, I'll let you go only if you help out Gary and Clark on their travels."

"Not happening, Gramps!" said Gary. "He can go with that other kid, but not with me. Gary Oak doesn't need a babysitter!"

"Alright, Gary. He'll go with Clark, then."

"Why?!! Can't I just have fun in this new world?"

"Cool!" said Clark. "I'll study a ton of Pokémon for you, Professor. Thanks!" He ran out of the building.

"Hey, wait up!" Dustin yelled.

He ran to catch up with him.

"Clark, you have no idea what you're getting into."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, let's just say that I know how things work in this world. You can't just run off like that. I mean, I'm forced to go with you, so we're doing things my way. Okay?"

Clark sighed. "Fine, I will."

"By the way, here's your Pokédex and Poké Balls."

He handed them to Clark.

"We might as well see Charmander and Bulbasaur's Pokédex entries."

"Go, Charmander!"

"Go, Bulbasaur!"

The balls opened and out came the two starters.

Dustin looked down at his Charmander.

"Char! Charmander!" it said.

"I really have my own Pokémon!"

He pulled out his Pokédex.

"CHARMANDER. A FLAME BURNS ON THE TIP OF ITS TAIL FROM BIRTH. IT IS SAID THAT A CHARMANDER DIES IF ITS FLAME EVER GOES OUT"

"Wow!" said Clark. "Bulbasaur's entry was very different."

"Let's check his moves.

FLAMETHROWER.

LEER.

"Well, that's cool, I guess."

"Yeah, very, very, VERY COOL!"

"What's up with this kid?"

"Return, Charmander!"

Suddenly, something ruffled the bushes to the east. A purple rat jumped out towards Clark's backpack.

"Wow, what's that?"

"A Rattata, don't bother catching it, it's..."

"BULBASAUR, USE TACKLE!"

"Wait!"

Bulbasaur ran and smacked right into the stomach of the Rattata. The painful tackle caused Rattata to hit the ground and get dizzy. It hissed at Bulbasaur and bit at him.

"Bulba!"

"Oh no, Bulbasaur!" said Clark.

"You should let the Rattata go." said Dustin.

"WAIT! I have an idea! Bulbasaur! Use Vine Whip!"

Two green whips came out of the seed Pokémon and grabbed the Rattata.

"Poké Ball, GO!"

The ball hit Rattata right on the head and sucked him in.

"He's not gonna catch it."

The Poké Ball clicked.

"He caught it."

"Alright! I caught a Rattata." yelled Clark.

"Relax, kid. It's just a Rattata." said Dustin.

"Yeah, well it's my Rattata."

Dustin and Clark continued to walk through Route 1 until they came across a waterfall with a water. It looked like someone was even fishing there.

"Misty."

"Hey!" yelled Clark. "What are you trying to catch?"

"Oh, it doesn't really matter." said Misty. "I'm a water type trainer, so I'm trying to catch them all."

Dustin looked over at her bike.

"Nice bike." he said.

"Thanks."

"Enjoy it while it lasts."

After a little while, it started to rain hard on the journey.

"Wow, it's a good thing Charmander isn't out of it's Poké Ball, huh?" said Clark in the rain.

"Yeah, no kidding." said Dustin.

CRACK!!!

Suddenly, a large lightning bolt appeared in the air. Clark ran away while Dustin watched, knowing who created that. It stopped the rain and created a rainbow in the sky.

"WOAH." said Clark as he pointed to the sky at Ho Oh. "What Pokémon is that?"

"No clue." responded Dustin.

"I can't tell this guy about Ho Oh."

"Let's just get to Viridian City."

They both walked toward the large town, continuing on their adventure.
