Blaze, a 15 year old is standing in front of the boat that's going to take him to the town of Pallet.

"Well, I guess it's time, huh, Eevee!" Blaze says, looking down at him Eevee.

"Eeee!" Eevee says, moving its ears up and down.

"Well." Blaze takes a deep breath. "I suppose we should get going..." He says. The two of them walk onto the boat, and set off to Pallet Town.

After about three days, the boat pulls into the harbor, and Blaze gets off, holding his sleeping Eevee in his arms.

"Well, looks like we're here." He says as he shoulders his pack, and walks forward.

After about...an hour or so, Blaze is standing in front of Professor Oak's Pokémon Lab. He looks at the sleeping Eevee that's curled up around his neck.

"You know, you're one spoiled Pokémon." Blaze says, petting the Eevee's head. He jumps when he hears someone come up behind him.

"Do you need something, young man?" An older sounding voice asks. Blaze looks to see a guy in a lab coat.

"Um...yes. I was wondering where Professor Oak is." Blaze says, motioning toward the 'out of the office' sign on the door.

"Well, he's right here." The old man says, pointing to himself. Blaze grins.

"Hello, uncle." Blaze says. Oak looks at him in surprise.

"Blaze? Is that you?" Oak questions, examining Blaze.

"Yep! It's nice to see you..." Blaze turns around when he hears someone talking.

"You know you can't win if you fight like that!" A girl says, looking at the other girl. They both stop when they see Blaze.

"Who're you?" The other girl demands. Blaze looks at them.

"Ah! Blaze, this is Melody and Rubbalite. Girls, this is Blaze." Professor Oak says, gesturing between them. Blaze nods.

"So, what's he doing here?" The first girl questions. Blaze turns to look at her.

"Not that I get why it's any of your business, but I came here to deliver this." Blaze says as he holds out a bag.

"What is it?" One of the girl's questions. Blaze sighs.

"I have no idea. I was told to deliver it, not open it!" Blaze says, sounding annoyed.

"Geez! Soooooory!" The girl says, glaring at Blaze. He grins.

"Stay out of my way." He says as he walks off. Professor Oak follows him.

"Hey! Blaze!" Professor Oak yells, catching up to Blaze, who sighs.

"What do you want?" Blaze questions, looking at his uncle.

"I want a favor." Oak says. Blaze looks at him with skeptical eyes.

"What kind of favor are we talking about?" Blaze questions. Oak sighs.

"I need you to travel with a few of the young ones and teach them the ropes." Oak says. Blaze looks at him for a moment.

"In other words, you want me to travel with them until they're experienced enough to get out on their own." Blaze says, folding his arms.

"Exactly!" Oak says, smiling. Blaze sighs.

"You're not going to give me a choice, are you?" Blaze questions, shaking his head. Oak grins.

"Nope!" Oak says simply. Blaze drops his arms.

"Fine." Blaze says as he looks up at the Professor, and sees a serious look on his face. "What is it now?" Blaze questions. Oak clears his throat.

"You can't bring any Pokémon besides one." Oak says, putting one finger up. Blaze glares at him.

"Please tell me you're kidding!" Blaze says angrily. Oak shakes his head, and holds his hand out. "NOW!" Blaze shouts, standing like a deer in headlights.

"They're leaving in about an hour." Oak says. Blaze sighs.

"Can I at least say goodbye to them?" Blaze questions. Oak nods, and motions for Blaze to follow. They walk to Oak's office, and Blaze walks outside into one of the grassy areas, where he releases all seven of his Pokémon from their poke-balls. "Listen guys. I'm going away for a while. In the meantime, I want you to be good with my uncle." He says, looking at his Pokémon sternly. "So behave!" He commands.

"Taking care of Professor Oak's Pokémon, are you?" Someone says from behind him. He turns to see the two girls.

"Is there something you want?" Blaze questions, sounding angry. The one girl takes a step back.

"The Professor said he wants to see you." The other girl says. Blaze sighs, and walks forward.

"Fine." He says as he walks toward the house. He walks inside, and to where Professor Oak is standing.

"Ah, Blaze." Oak says, turning to look at him. Blaze looks at him with skeptical eyes.

"Did you...need me for something?" Blaze questions.

"Ah, yes indeed. Just wait here for a moment." Oak says. Blaze sighs, but stands there. Before long, there's four people standing there. "Today is the day that you all have been waiting for. The day that you get your first Pokémon. Now, I know you're all excited, but I must caution you. This journey isn't going to be easy. So, I have decided to send a guardian with all of you." One of the guys raises his hand. "Yes?" Oak asks, looking at the boy.

"How come there's four of us, but only three guardians?" The boy questions. Oak smiles.

"That's because two of you will be going with one guardians while the other two get separated." Oak says. The two girls look at each other.

"Does that mean that we have to travel with a GUY!" The girl with the wavy blue hair asks.

"N-" Oak begins, but Blaze cuts him off be stepping forward.

"Unfortunately, there aren't any females around that are willing to participate in this." Blaze says in a completely neutral voice. Both girls sigh.

"Well, I guess it's time for you to pick your Pokémon!" Oak says, clapping his hands together. All of the new Pokémon Trainers smile.

After about an hour, they had all picked out their Pokémon, and are waiting to be assigned to their guardian.

"I wonder who I'll get!" The guy with the red hair says. Blaze smiles.

"What's so funny?" Gary asks, walking over with Ash.

"Do you remember when that was us?" Blaze questions, motioning toward the youngsters. Gary looks over at them.

"Yes. Though we had weird starter Pokémon." Gary says. Blaze sighs.

"Yeah. What, with you getting a Growlithe and me getting an Eevee." Blaze says. The three of them turn when they see Professor Oak make a gesture.

"Now to reveal your traveling partners!" Oak says, gesturing toward Blaze, Gary and Ash. "Ash, if you will." Oak says, gesturing for Ash to walk forward. He takes a step forward. "Okay, introduce yourself!" Oak commands.

"Uh...okay? My name's Ash Ketchum. Um...my starter Pokémon was a Pikachu." Ash says, scratching the back of his head.

"Very good. Now...Jacob! You shall be traveling with Ash." Oak says. The boy with the green hair walks forward confidently. The two of them go to stand in a small area. "Now, Gary." Oak says. Gary takes a step forward.

"I'm Gary Oak. My starter was a Growlithe." Gary says, sounding confident and cocky...as usual.

"Okay, your partner shall be Lukas." Oak says. They watch as the boy with the red hair walks forward. The two of them walk toward where Ash and Jacob are standing. "And lastly..." Oak says, turning to look at Blaze, who takes a bored step forward.

"Very well. My name is Blaze. My starter is a secret." Blaze says. Oak sighs.

"Blaze..." Oak mutters, sounding irritated.

"What? It's not like they won't find out soon anyway!" Blaze says, walking away, making a strange hand gesture. Oak turns to look at the girls.

"Don't worry. Blaze is always like this." Oak says with a sigh. The two girls nod, and walk after Blaze.

"What do the two of you want?" Blaze questions, not bothering to look behind him.

"Um...we were wondering what you think we should pack..." One of the girls says. Blaze sighs, and pulls the coat he always wears that goes down to the ground on before he turns around.

"Well...you should pack two pairs of clothes...and a few things you want to bring." Blaze says, leaning against the bed, looking at the two of them. "But not more than you can fit in these-" He says as he throws them two backpacks. They look at him in confusion, and then turn to look at each other.

"Ah!" The girl with the blue hair yells, watching as Blaze's coat moves. The two watch as a head pops out. "W...what IS that?" The girl questions. Blaze pets the Eevee's head.

"Aw! It's cute!" The girl with the blonde hair says before looking up at Blaze. "Can I pet it?" She asks. Blaze pulls the Eevee out of his coat.

"Sure. So, tell me. What's your name?" Blaze asks, looking at the blonde.

"Rubbalite!" The girl says with a smile. Blaze ruffles her hair.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Rubbalite." Blaze says as he hands her the Eevee. Rubbalite takes it, and begins to pet it between the ears.

"It's got such a shiny and soft coat!" Rubbalite says, looking at the Eevee in surprise.

"And you better believe it takes a lot of effort to get it like that." Blaze says, turning to put a few more things.

"Well, I'm leaving." The blue haired girl says, glaring at Blaze.

"Whatever. Just make sure you pack." Blaze says in a bored voice.

"A few hours later, Blaze is standing next to Gary, talking to him.

"So you got stuck with two, huh?" Gary questions. Blaze sighs.

"Yeah. Somehow I knew he would do this to me!" Blaze says, sounding irritated. Gary grins.

"I really don't understand it. You'd think he'd choose someone else to have them." Gary says.

"Especially when you hate everything to do with work." Ash says, walking toward them.

"Tell me about it! Work can he so...troublesome!" Blaze complains as he watches the four younger ones walk toward them.

"Well, looks like we're off." Ash says as the boy known as Jacob walks up to him. The two of them leave. Gary looks at Blaze as soon as Ash is gone.

"See you soon." Gary says as he leaves too. Blaze sighs as he turns to look at the two girls.

"Well, guess we're heading out." Blaze says. He turns around, and the three of them leave Pallet Town.
