Our story begins with a young girl from Twinleaf Town named Jenny. As she begins to get dressed, her Pokemon; Pichu, climbs up her shoulder and snuggles her cheek.
"Hey that tickles Pichu" Several minutes later she finishes getting dressed and heads downstairs where she meets up with her mother "Morning mom"
"Morning dear, are you ready for the start of a new life with pokemon?"
"You bet!" exclaimed Jenny "I think pokemon are the cutest little things I ever seen"
"Well dear sometimes cuteness is not the only thing that defines your pokemon" explained Jenny's mom
"I know mom" As Jenny grabs her bag she gives her mom a peck on the cheek and heads for the door and the start of her adventure. During her walk she realizes that a girl her age can now obtain one of the three starter pokemon from Professor Rowan's lab.
"I wonder where Mr. Rowan's lab is" As she begins to keep walking she sees a sign "Sandgem Town" Hmm, I think that Mr. Rowan's lab is straight ahead. Huh?
"Stop theif!" shouted Professor Rowan. Jenny hearing this she runs toward Rowan
"Whats going on sir?" Jenny asked.
"Some kid with an Abra came and stole a pokedex and a pokemon from my lab" said Professor Rowan as he exhales a disappointed sigh
"Im sorry...huh?" When Jenny sees another trainer whos inside of Rowan's lab she begins to blush
"Sir I will go and get your pokemon back" said the mysterious trainer
"My boy, im counting on you" Rowan said sternly "Take good care of that Turtwig"
"No worries sir" as the young trainer heads for the same path as the rouge trainer Jenny's thoughts begin to ramble
"Wow im so glad im not the only trainer"
"Excuse me miss" interrupted Rowan "but why is it your here?"
"Oh well, I wanted to know if I could have my starter pokemon?" Jenny asked in curiosity
As Rowan closes his eyes and thinks for a moment. "You see young lady just owning a pokemon does not mean you cant just do whatever you please. Pokemon have emotions too and if you treat them unfairly then you can never expect to be a great pokemon master. Do i make my self clear?"
"Um...yes sir" said Jenny nervously
"Good, now here" Rowan gives to Jenny her new pokedex and 5 pokeballs "it is a shame you could not be here early before the robbery, because you would have the choice of three pokemon. The grass type Turtwig, the water type Piplup and the fire type Chimchar. But you see all thats available is Chimchar" When Rowan hands over her brand new pokemon Chimchar, Jenny was only overjoyed
"Oh My God! Thank you sir! I promise to be a great pokemon trainer."
"Im sure you will, and if you come across a fellow who owns a Turtwig, please give him this. He forgot his pokedex"
"You can count on me sir" said Jenny with determination
"Now that you have your pokemon, would you like to nickname it?"
"Hmm, how does Blaze sound?"
"Pi Pichu!" jealously shouted Pichu
"Oh Pichu I forgot that you were still on my shoulder" chuckled Jenny nervously
"Pi" As Pichu turns away from Jenny a litte bit of tears come out of his eyes
"Awe Pichu, please dont cry, you know I love you" As Jenny gives her Pichu a hug Professor Rowan notices the bond they share
"You seem to be quite close with your Pichu"
"Of course, Pichu has been with me since I was only 7"
"A pokemon who has a great bond with their trainer means that there are high expectations, good luck on your journey"
"Thank you sir" Jenny said gracefully as she leaves the lab. "He seems like such a nice guy eh Pichu"
"Pi"
"I have an idea, how about I give you a nickname too. So you wont be left out of the group"
"Pichu!"
"Lets see, whats a good nickname for you. I know! Pichu from now on your gonna be known as Honey. Hows that sound?"
"Pichu Pi" said Honey as he snuggles her cheek
"Maybe we should introduce you to our new friend" said Jenny as she releases Blaze from his pokeball.
"Chim...Char?"
"Hi Blaze, My name is Jenny and this is my friend Honey"
"Chimchar!"
"So cute, im sure the three of us will become great friends"
"How pathetic..." said a mysterious trainer
"Hey, just who do you think you are!" shouted Jenny as she gets up
"The name is Mikie, and just by looking at your pokemon I can tell there all weak"
"Excuse me?" shouted Jenny as she gives a cold glare to Mikie
"Im sorry to disappoint you, but its the truth. Pokemon are not pets" stated Mikie smiling wickedly
"Grrr, Well you know what? I bet your pokemon are not so strong since they are in the care of some jerk."
"Hows a pokemon battle sound?" asked Mikie crossing his arms waiting for a response
"Fine, lets have a two on two battle"
"Two? so you on have two pokemon?" asked Mikie in disbelief
"Yea so what?" answered Jenny
"Its pathetic thats all, but fine I agree to your challange. Go Abra!" as Mikie releases his pokemon Abra, Jenny is surprised with the pokemon Mikie has and begins to remember what Professor Rowan said
"Stop theif!" shouted Professor Rowan. Jenny hearing this she runs toward Rowan
"Whats going on sir?" Jenny asked.
"Some kid with an Abra came and stole a pokedex and a pokemon from my lab" said Professor Rowan as he exhales a disappointed sigh.
"So your the thief who escaped Mr. Rowan's lab!"
"Great another one, listen I already dealt with one of you so dont lecture me about my actions scoffed Mikie
"Its just wrong to steal from someone!"
"Tch, I do not have to listen to you. So are we gonna battle or what?"
"Grr, you ready Honey?"
"Pichu"
"Ok, use Thundershock!" Honey's body is shrouded by lighting and sends it toward Abra with strong power
"Use telport Abra" Mikie's Abra swiftly disappears out of no where
"What? Where did it go?" Jenny starts looking around her area, but could not find Abra
"Use Mega Punch" Out of no where Abra jumps out from a tree and launched his fist covered with enormous energy and strikes Honey with a devastating attack. Sadly for Jenny her Pichu faints from the attack
"Oh no, Honey?"
"Piiiiichu"
"I told you that your pokemon are weak, not even your precious Pichu can stand against a simple move like Mega Punch"
Jenny returns Honey back to his pokeball and sends her Blaze out to battle
"Im counting on you Blaze"
"Chimchar"
"A Chimchar huh?" Mikie returns his Abra and sends out his other pokemon
"Go Piplup!"
"Piplup!"
"Its time to finish this, use Bubblebeam!" Piplup begins to quickly shoot powerful bubbles from his mouth while Blaze is getting hurt. Jenny who is paralyzed on how strong Mikie's pokemon are she could not make any commands.
"End this with pound Piplup" Piplup with all his strength punches Blaze's cut and knocks him out. Mikie then returns his pokemon back to its pokeball and begins to judge Jenny and her pokemon
"Because of your lack of discipline toward your pokemon you were unable to make any more commands and just let your Chimchar faint. You should just give up in becoming a trainer"
As Mikie walks away, All Jenny did was kneel to the ground and begins to cry
"Hes right...I dont have any strength inside me -sniff-"
"Chimchar?"
"Oh, sorry Blaze. Its just that guy really got to me and I did not know what to do, can you please forgive me?"
"Chimchar!"
"Thank you Blaze, and I promise the next time we see that jerk, were gonna prove that pokemon can be strong without cold hearted discipline.
"Your pokemon are good as new"
"Thanks Nurse Joy" As Jenny puts her pokeballs back into her pocket she suddenly bumps into someone
"Oh, please excuse me. I didnt mean to bump into you like that"
"Hey dont worry about it" Michael said with a big smile
"He looks familiar?" wondered Jenny as she tries to think back
"Sir I will go and get your pokemon back" said the mysterious trainer
"My boy, im counting on you" Rowan said sternly "Take good care of that Turtwig"
"No worries professor"
"Now I remember! Do you by any chance own a Turtwig?" ask Jenny
"Y-yea? why ask?"
"Well Professor Rowan told me you forgot your pokedex and wanted me to give it to you" As Jenny gives Michael the pokedex her legs begin to shake from nervousness
"Thanks, I appreciate it"
"Your welcome" Jenny said with a quite whisper
"So are you a traveling trainer too?" asked Michael
"Yes! yes I am"
"Then hows about we travel together. Its always nice to travel with someone whos a friend" suggested Michael giving Jenny a smile
"Okay, that sounds great"
"Alright, well first allow me to introduce myself, my name is Michael" extends his hand
"Im Jenny" softly shakes Michael's hands and thinks about the differences between Mikie and Michael
"So, I guess our first stop would be at Jubilife City" said Michael
"Whats at Jubilife City?" curiously asked Jenny
"You'll find out when we get there" Michael said, giving Jenny a devious wink
