'Wake up Max!'
Max opened his eyes slowly, listening to the quiet chirping of the Pidoves. This calm moment was brief as seconds after he awoke another yell greeted his ears.
'Max, stop leaving us in suspense and get out of bed!'
Max looked around his bedroom. His sister, Jenny was the one yelling. It probably wasn't her fault, she was just excited and with good reason too. For today was the day that their Pokémon journey would finally begin and Max and Jenny would both finally become Pokémon trainers. However they weren't in the Pokémon world. They were in our world were Pokémon had mysteriously migrated and since then the world simply loved Pokémon and they had become a part of their lives. 'So what Pokémon are we gonna get?' he asked Jenny.
'Mum and Dad know something but they're not telling me anything. It's so annoying.'
'Let's find out,' replied Max and jumped out of bed and sprinted downstairs, into the kitchen but nobody was there. Max was puzzled. He waited for Jenny to catch up and then went outside, to the next-door-neighbours house and was greeted by two other Pokémon trainer starters, Kaz and Olivia. Max and Jenny had been friends with them forever and they were brother and sister. Max had a friendly rival within Kaz and a secret crush on Olivia. One day he would tell her. Maybe now would be a good time. 'So where...' Max started.
'Village hall.' answered Kaz and the four of them set off to the village hall of Rayleigh. They stepped through the doors and saw a row of Pokémon sitting on a bench, waiting to be picked for a journey. They were: Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Treecko, Snivy, Turtwig, Charmander, Torchic, Cyndaquil, Tepig, Chimchar, Totodile, Oshawott, Squirtle, Piplup, Mudkip and an egg. A sign above said "Choose any below" What happened next, happened very quickly.
'Treecko!' Max yelled.
'Oshawott!' Jenny yelled.
'Charmander!' Olivia yelled.
'The egg!' Kaz yelled.
The appropriate Pokémon were given out and everyone greeted their Pokémon happily, even stubborn Kaz seemed to have a thrill when he had a Pokémon with him.
'Welcome aboard Treecko,' Max said, 'Hey listen, Olivia, would you like to go on a journey with me?' he asked.
'Yes, I'd love too!' she replied and hugged him whilst Max got a warm fuzzy feeling of happiness that Olivia liked him.
'Can I come too? Please?' asked Jenny.
'Of course you can Jenny,' replied Max but when he turned to ask Kaz, he was gone. Oh well. It was still the best day of his life because he was finally a Pokémon trainer!
