Hi there, my name is Jesse Sparks. I am from Cianwood City in the Johto region. I'm 11 years of age now and have decided to start a pokemon journey in the hoenn region because I wanted to leave Johto for the first time. This my story.

Aipom and I left early in the morning to get on our boat to Dewford Town. My mom gave me some new pokegear, a map of hoenn, and pokedex from her old friend Professor Elm. "Ai ai aipom" yelled my Aipom. "I really excited too Aipom I can't wait to get there too."

The boat ride to Dewford took two days, I was so excited too get off the boat after one of passengers told me all about how beautiful hoenn is.

When we got off the boat Aipom and I rushed to the pokemon center. When we got there, we sadly learned we had to go to Petalburg city to register. 'No not another boat ride', I thought to myself.

"Mr. Briney has a ferry that can take you there in one hours" ,said the lady at the pokemon center, "it leaves at seven tonight".

"Great, I'll be sure to get on it", Jesse said.

To pass time, Aipom and I went to train on the beach. We worked on his attacks and dodging. Aipom speed was great and his move set seemed alright with quick attack, double team, scratch, and swift. We fought against few trainers and a few wild pokemon. One certain pokemon caught my eye while exploring the cave. It was called makuhita.

The next time I saw it we engaged in battle.

"Go aipom and hit it with quick attack." The opposing pokemon seemed to take little damage from the hit.

The wild pokemon tried to hit aipom with an arm thrust attack, but aipom dodged.

"Aipom use double team then swift", the wild pokemon was ultimately confused and didn't know what which one was real.

Aipom's swift hit it dead on, then makuhita tried arm thrust again but aipom dodged and used quick attack, knocking the wild pokemon down.

I quickly reached for a pokeball and threw at makuhita catching the pokemon inside it. I had done it I had caught my first pokemon.

A while later I boarded the ferry to Petalburg City to register. On the way I talked to my mom and she told me I had an aunt in Littleroot town and she wanted to give me something. I agreed to see her, even if I did not want to see her, because Littleroot town was two routes and one town away from petalburg making it a half a day walk to it.

When I got off, I was finally able to register for the league at the pokemon center, and after that I started the walk to Littleroot.

Next time we'll see what routes 102 and 101 and Old Dale town have in store for Jesse and his pokemon.
