On The Isle Of Silora
A Pokemon Journey
Chapter 1 : Silvera Town
The sun slowly rises on the sleepy town of Silvera. Silvera is a countryside out of the way sort of place with trees all around, almost hiding it. This is where a trainer is about to begin his journey. He is a 12 year old named Shawn. He is 4'3, a little small for his age. He has short light brown hair that is in a bowl like cut.
He wanted to go on his journey when he was 10 like many others had done, but his mother worried about his safety and kept him from going. He wouldn't be going now, but he really wants to see the world and meet lots of Pokemon and people along the way, so he prepared to sneak out. He dose feel guilty as he's gathering some supplies, but his legs are aching.
He can't wait any longer. He wrote his mom a little note before he went. He wrote, Dear Mom, I'm really sorry, but I just have to go. I love you very much! It'll be ok. Please don't worry! Love Shawn. After he finished writing the letter, he placed it on his pillow, then checked the bag he packed to be sure he had stuff he could need. He sighed as he looked in his bag, then he looked out his bedroom window.
"Better be off." He said in slight southern accent. With that, he snuck out of his room and made his way to the front door. He sighed again as he opened the door and looked out. He nodded and got a determined look on his face. In that moment, he decided he wasn't going to look back, not till he got to Brokenbrunch City. By then, he wouldn't be able to see his house.
He stepped out and closed the door. He made his way out of the small town without notice. When he reached the grassy area just outside of his town, he stopped and flinched a bit. He heard his mother's voice in his mind telling him not to go out here. Wild Pokemon can be very dangerous. He gulped and backed up a bit. He started to turn his head back in the direction of his town, but he stopped before he could see it. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. He clinched his fist and walked forward, making his way into the grassy path.
He walked for quite some time with no problem. "Hey, this isn't so bad. Heh! Non of the Pokemon seem to even care that I'm here." He thought to himself. Soon, buildings from the city could be seen. He danced a bit with a little bit of humming. "Yes! Almost there!" He sang. A loud crunch sound suddenly came from close by. Shawn stopped. He looked to where the sound came from. "Umm.. H-hello?" He stuttered. A shadow rose to a quite tall hight and it made it's way through some trees and onto the path.
Shawn fell back as soon as he saw what it was. "Ah! Ursaring?!" He shrieked. The Ursaring growled and then roared it's name. Shawn screamed for help. He didn't think anyone would hear him, but he screamed anyways. The Ursaring charged. A ball of light came from nowhere and blasted into the Ursaring. The Ursaring looked up and flinched. It Ran off as quickly as it could.
Shawn was curled up shaking and crying. The whooshing sound of air soon could be heard. Shawn was still to scared to open his eyes or stop crying. The wooshing sound stopped as whatever was ming the sound, landed. A gentle english accent female voice called out. "Hey hey hey. It's ok. Your safe. I promise." Shawn heard the voice and began to calm down. "That's it. Come on. Give me your hand." The voice said. Shawn slowly looked to where the voice came from.
He saw a funny looking woman. She wore a white lab coat that was way to big for her. She had a brown undershirt and khakis with brown steel toed boots. She also wore a large pair of glasses and had really messy mauve colored hair. "Wh-who are you?" he asked as he reached out a hand to hers. "I'm professor Dogwood. What are you doing out here without a Pokemon to protect you?" She ask as she grabbed his hand and helped him up. "Uhhh... You'er professor Dogwood? I was told you were a man." He said.
She shook her head with a little chuckle. "Heh! Naw! As you can see, I'm a woman. Now, about why you'er out here without a Pokemon. Tell me please. I'm quite worried." She said. Shawn wasn't sure what to say. He knew he shouldn't tell her he came here without his mom knowing. "Uhh... I don't have one. I thought I could make it here with no problem. My mom insisted I barrow her Purugly, but I said I'd be ok. I can be persuasive." He said. Prof Dogwood thought a moment. "Hmmm... It really wasn't safe to try the trip by yourself. You'er lucky me and Drayven was flying about and saw what was going on." She said.
Shawn looked confused. "Drayven? Who's that?" He asked. She smiled. Drayven is my partner. Come on over Drayven." She says. A Dragonite calmly walks over to them. Shawn flinches. Prof Dogwood sees this. "It's ok. Drayven is kind and gentle. He loves kids. He won't hurt you. I promise." She said in a clam voice. Shawn calmed down. "Ok. I believe you, I'm just nervous after that Ursaring is all." He said. Prof Dogwood nodded. "I understand. By they way, what's your name?" She asked.
Shawn looked over to her. "Oh! I'm sorry prof. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shawn." He said. Prof Dogwood smiled. "It's ok. You did have a big scare after all. Follow me. I'll take you to my lab and you can pick out your first Pokemon and get you your very own Pokedex and you'll soon be off on your journey." She said enthusiastically. Shawn grinned. "Thanks prof! We are walking right. I'm not to sure if I'm ready to fly yet." He said. Prof dogwood chuckled a little. We'll walk from here. Drayven don't mind if we walk for a bit." She said. Shawn sighed with relief. Soon, prof Dogwood and Drayven walked off, leading Shawn into the next part of his journey.
