Hi Guys!

First time writing so bear with me through first couple chapters

Leave a review or pm me some advice

Bryant woke up feeling different this morning. He knew of course he was taking off on his Pokemon journey across the Kanto region but he felt like there was something more surreal to it. He shook of his thoughts and proceeded to gather his clothes. He looked over and saw his brother Erick asleep.

"Erick!" he hollered as Erick jolted from his slumber, looking not as eager to leave as his brother.

"If you haven't seemed to notice I was enjoying myself" Erick retorted

Bryant continued on as he put on his bright green cap over his curly brown hair. He admired himself in the mirror as he had put on the new outfit his Dad had bought for him. It was a gray hoodie over a green t-shirt with black joggers and a pair of boots. Erick looked completely different on the other hand. He wore a yellow polo and had on khakis with his blonde buzz cut free of any hats in sight and a pair of all-white sneakers.

Both went downstairs for breakfast as they noticed their Dad was halfway through making omelets.

"It's a special day boys, eat up!" as he set up the table with his cheesy flamboyant attitude breaking through

Bryant and Erick both knew how hard being a single father had been on him so they decide to go easy on his cooking skills today.

"Looks delicious!" Erick said with as much pleasure as possible

"For sure!" Bryant added

"Boys.." Their dad said rather somberly as they both got up from their breakfast re

"You know I will always love you two and no matter what remember who you are on this journey" Their dad commented with tears in his eye

"We will, Dad" they both said as they hugged their father and left the house with their backpacks and Pokedexs

After breakfast and their father's dramatic farewells the boys set off for the lab to pick their first pokemon. But first they had to deal with their best friend Riley.

"How could you guys be late on the most important day of our lives!?" Riley harshly screamed as they walked to Professor Oak's Lab. After all the yelling they had endured a before walking in, Bryant and Erick apologized and like always said they would do better

"Hello!" the three oblivious trainers yelled as they realized they started Professor Oak as he was fixing a light and fell down from the ladder.

"Are you okay Professor?" they asked as they rushed over

"It's not the first time this has happened so I think i'll recover from the trauma" Professor Oak sarcastically mumbled still woozy from the fall.

Bryant was still stuck on the thought he had earlier today as they passed through the different parts of the lab as Professor Oak rambled on with a terribly long speech. It bothered him all day yet he still couldn't pin down what it was.

Bryant regained his interest when he heard Professor Oak say they reached the back.

"Let me introduce you to the starters!" Professor Oak eagerly offered

He released a pokeball with a flame sticker on it he then removed it and released it.

"Char!?" was heard as a severely confused Charmander was revealed. Erick scanned it with the Pokedex that Oak had gave them earlier.

Charmander:

The flame that burns at the tip of its tail is an indication of its emotions. The flame wavers when CHARMANDER is enjoying itself. If the POKéMON becomes enraged, the flame burns fiercely.

Erick was fascinated by the curiosity of Charmander while he explored the room. He aslo knew that Charmander evolved into Charizard, a powerful Fire/Flying type dragon pokemon. He was soon hooked on him.

"So who wants Charmander?" Oak questioned

"I do!" Erick answered as he bolted towards Charmander

Charmander, confused by the trainer's eagerness to meet him befuddled him but he was glad he was so be though of highly.

"You and me are going all the way to the Indigo Leagues. How does that sound?" Erick said

Charmander, having no idea what he was talking about, slowly nodded his head

"Next up, Bulbasaur" Oak said as he removed the flower sticker and released the pokemon

Bulbasaur came out and seemed to be a utterly confident fellow. Disgusted by the thought of a trainer thinking it can tame his power, Bulbasaur turned away

Bulbasaur:

BULBASAUR can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun's rays, the seed grows progressively larger.

Riley was up to the challenge of training this confident and rebellious yet strong pokemon. This was a way of gaining respect from the boys as a formidable opponent. She walked over towards Bulbasaur

"I'll take him" She suggested

"It's actually a she" Oak confessed as the Bulbasaur turned away from her, thoroughly insulted by the mis-identification leaving Riley frustrated

"I guess you get Squirtle" Oak lamely said to Bryant.

Bryant was surprised by the sudden disinterest from Oak but he would find the source of it soon when Oak released the Squirtle

"Squirtle!" Squirtle squealed quite happily. Bryant was noticing something else other than the sudden trust and friendliness. Squirtle was considerably smaller than the others. Bryant knew right away why.

Squirtle was a baby pokemon.

Squirtle was confused by the look of his trainer who was utterly shocked. Oak realized that Bryant knew and gave him a stern look.

"He's yours you know" Oak said as he slowly thrusted the pokeball in his hands.

Squirtle was defeated as he knew the same look Bryant was giving him that all her other trainers had give her. But to Squirtle's surprise the look changed from disgust to determination.

"We're gonna do this together. Are you with me?" Bryant sternly questioned.

Squirtle shook his head in agreement.

As they had their final farewells and as they walked out of Pallet Town, Bryant finally knew what it was he was feeling.

Determined
