Note for first time readers: More than half of the first chapter is just stuff that doesn't really connect to the plot that well. I would go more towards the end and start from there if you don't want to read the useless stuff. Oh, and Chapter 3 has this too. I'll get around to revising it eventually.
It was a normal morning in Littleroot town. The silence as everyone comfortably slept would almost make it seem like it was an abandoned town. Suddenly, a 14 year old boy walked out of the left house, simply wearing a white beanie, a red t-shirt with oddly shaped black stripes, black and gray shorts, green sneakers, and a green backpack. The kid stops to read the all so familiar sign to him next to the other house.
"May's House."
He chuckled softly to himself, remembering all the times they fought with their pokemon, her congratulating him after he became champion, and when they went to see the meteor shower together.
He also remembered the first time they ever met.
She was around the same age as him, just a couple months younger. She has hair hair sticking out from 2 sides, and she had similar clothes as to his.
"Pokemon fully restored, items all ready, and..."
She turned around and looked quite... surprised.
"Huh? Who.. are you?" She asked him
"Oh, you must be Brendan! I guess your move must've been today, huh?" She said before he even got the chance to answer your question.
"Umm, yeah, that's me..." he replied back. "So, I'm guessing you're May, right?
"Yep, nice to meet you!" May laughed as she said this, "I... I actually have this dream of becoming friends with pokemon all over the world." She continued, "And then when Dad-oh, I mean Professor Birch-"
"Wait, Professor Birch is your dad? Brendan asked her.
"Yeah! Anyway, when he told me about you moving here, well, I was hoping you would be nice and we would be friends... b-but that's just silly, isn't it? I've only just met you..." she says this way too fast for him to keep up. He was about to say something, but she contjnued, yet again.
"Oh no! I forgot! I was supposed to be going out with Dad to help catch some wild Pokemon! I'll see you later" she says as she goes down the stairs.
"This is going to be a long and boring time here for me..." He thought to himself.
"It wasn't boring at all though..." He thought as he rejected upon their first meeting. "Oh well, I'll think about more of it later.
He entered the house, and was immediately greeted by May's mother.
"Oh, Brendan! May is at Professor Birch's lab! He wants you two for something."
Brendan quickly made his way over to Professor Birch's lab, and took his place right next to when he arrived.
"Alright, now that I'm here, what do you need us for professor?" Brendan asked.
"Well, Brendan, recently, for some reason, other pokemon from Johto and Sinnoh have started to appear in the waters. I want you and May to go together and try to catch some of these and bring them back to me."
"Great!" May said. "This should be easy. Come on Brendan, let's go!"
"Now hold on, you two, there's something else I need from you." Birch replied.
"What is it?"
"Can I see both your pokedexes?"
We both hand Birch our pokedex, and he plugs them into his computer.
"There we go!" Birch exclaimed after a while. He handed us our pokedexes back. "Your pokedexes have been upgraded to National Mode! Now pokemon from any region will be registered."
"Alright!" We both said.
"Now that that's done, where should we go Professor Birch?" Brendan asked.
"There are 2 places you can go. Either by Route 125, or Route 128."
"I think Route 125 is good. What do you think May?" Brendan asked."
"Yeah, Route 125 is fine!" She replied.
The two kids left the lab, summoned both Tropius and Swellow, and flew to Route 125. It didn't take them long to make it, so once they got there, they sat down by Shoal Cave.
"Alright, so how about this?" Brendan said, "I can stay here and find some pokemon by fishing, and you go and surf out there to find some yourself.
"Oh, of course you want to sit here and fish." May complained.
Brendan grinned at May, which she calls it his "famous grin" even though it's probably no where near famous. "Come on, you know I like to sit here and fish.
"You always want to fish though! Atleast surf for pokemon with me!"
"Alright then, if you insist."
May giggled to herself. This was gonna be a fun day.
"Alright, so what pokemon did each of you guys get?" Professor Birch asked over Brendan's PokeNav.
"Well let's see..." May said, "I caught a Tentacool, Poliwag, and Marill!"
"Alright Brendan, what about you?"
" I got a Shellos, and Buizel!"
"Alright, that's fine for the both of you. Before you two come back though, can you check on something for me?"
"What is it?" Both May and Brendan asked.
"Over in Mauville, there are some reports of a huge group, about 30 people, searching house to house for someone, and they don't look very friendly. I need you two to go over there and see what's going on."
"That, doesn't sound to good." Brendan thought to himself.
"Alright, we'll go check it out". He said finally as he shut off his PokeNav. "Alright May, let's go check it out."
