Pokemon Anew
By: Kisei
Chapter 1: The Late Start
A quiet morning in good old Pallet Town. A young boy sleeps unaware he is late for the most important event in his life. Young Kisei has just turned 10 the night before. This means he is finally going to receive a starting Pokemon from and begin his life as a trainer. If he wakes up that is.
Kisei: ZZZ….ZZZ…poke…mon…trainer. That's…..me…ZZZ.
Downstairs his mother Jannet is busy with house work seeing as its almost noon. She realizes her lazy son still isn't up.
Jannet: Kisei! Its almost noon time! If you want to get a Pokemon from you better hurry up now!
Kisei suddenly awakens to his mothers words. Hes out of bed within seconds and hastily getting dressed. He slips into a pair of old faded jeans. Grabs a t-shirt and his back pack. He slips on his favorite pair of running sneakers as well. He takes one last good look around his room. He wouldn't be back here for quite some time. He smiles and then bolts out his door and down the stairs. His mother there smiling at him.
Jannet: I can't believe my little boy is leaving. It seems like yesterday you were just learning to walk.
Jannet seems ready to cry and pulls Kisei into a tight death-hug. Kisei struggles to break free and for air.
Kisei: Don't worry mom. I'll be alright. I do take after dad after all.
Jannet: Yes I know. But that's what troubles me. (sigh)
Kisei's father Val is the Gym Leader of the Viridian City gym. A very powerful trainer indeed. He and Kisei will one day battle for Kisei's Earth Badge. They are also very similar in. Both messy black hair. They both have a smile and charm no one can resist. They are also both very optimistic. Never giving up on any challenge.
Kisei: Well later mom. If I don't leave I might not get the Pokemon I want. Love you!
Kisei ran out the front door. He bounded down the street that would lead him towards the hill overlooking the small town. On this hill the Pallet Town Pokemon Laboratory was located. Run by Professor Oak. He was wise old man. One of the worlds top researchers on Pokemon. Kisei had spent most of his days at the ranch playing with the pokemon other trainers sent there to be taken care of. He was grey haired and balding. But don't underestimate him if he needs to move quickly he can. Within minutes Kisei reaches the building. Looking like an observatory. A little ways a behind a massive area where the pokemon where kept. Kisei walked inside the building.
Kisei: ! Its me Kisei! I'm here to pick up a pokemon!
Professor Oak: Ah good! Back here my boy!
Kisei walked to a back room where walked over to greet him.
Professor Oak: A little late aren't we? I thought you might not show. AH well no matter. Your hear and that's what matters. Right the pokemon.
He walked over to a table with three poke balls on it. You're the last one to show so these are all that's left.
Professor Oak: Charmander, Totodile, and Turtwig. Go ahead choose one.
Kisei's eyes lit up when he heard Charmander had not yet been claimed. He quickly ran over to the table and grabbed Charmander's pokeball.
Kisei: I choose Charmander! No doubt about it. I was hoping he would still be here.
Professor Oak smiled.
Professor Oak: Good to see you got the pokemon you wanted. Well heres the latest version of the Pokedex or Dexter for short. You know what it is so I shouldn't have to explain. Also heres 6 pokeballs for you to start with. I wish you good luck on your journey.
He handed Kisei the items and then turned and walked towards a door behind him.
Professor Oak: I would say more but I have some things I must attend to.
Kisei: No worries . Thanks again and goodbye!
With that Kisei was out of the lab and already headed towards Viridian City.
