Hey guys, it me, your favorite writer - Akhil100! This time, I present you all with the newest adventure of Aki - Pokemon Blaze! In this story, Aki is a boy who dreams to be the greatest Fire-type trainer in the world. Coincidentally, he just happens to be me! For that, he enters the Pokemon World Type Championship (PWTC), a special set of 18 tournaments, each specializing in a particular Pokemon type.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon (If I ever did, I would make Aki the protogonist of the anime instead of Ash)
Now, let's get on to the story. Please read and enjoy.
Chapter 1 - The Journey Begins!
"Hello, folks! This is the reporter John from the Pokemon World Stadium from Driftveil City in Unova! Today, as you all know, is the opening ceremony of Pokemon World Type Championship" the reporter cried out.
"Mom, its gonna start!" a boy said watching the ceremony in the TV.
"Wait, I'll be there" his mom called out from the kitchen.
Aki, a 14-years old resident of Aspertia City in Unova, is a boy who dreams of becoming the world's greatest Fire-type trainer. However, he haven't even started a journey and but isn't inexperienced. He knows well about Pokemon battles, as he has done many training battles with his best buddy and pet Pokemon, Flame.
Flame, was a young Charmander who had been with Aki since childhood. He loves eating and battling. He can easily be told apart from other Charmander by the blue bandage on his forehead.
"Charm-Charmander!" Flame, the Charmander, exclaimed watching the TV show.
"You said it buddy, this is gonna be exciting!" Aki said.
"Let's have a talk with the champion of Sinnoh, Cyndia!" John, the reporter, said giving a mike to Cyndia, the champion of Sinnoh.
"Hello everyone. I don't have much to say. Just one thing, this tournament is gonna be the best one the world have ever seen" Cyndia concluded her speech quickly.
"Thanks for those beautiful words, Cyndia!" John said as he went on to talk with other VIPs.
Then the TV screen quickly changed to show the rules of the tournament. The screen read as this:

"I heard that the first 3 tournaments are going to be held in the Kanto region" Aki said after reading the rules carefully.
"That's really far from Unova" Aki's mother said.
"Mom..." Aki tried to gain his mother's attention.
"What is it Aki?" Mother asked.
"Can I... compete in the tournaments?" Aki asked slowly.
"What? You don't even have Pokemon or a Pokedex!" Mother couldn't believe her son's words.
"I have Flame with me... And Professor Juniper would give me a Pokedex if I ask her" Aki said.
"But son..." His mother was cut off by Flame.
"Mander... Char-Charmander!" Flame jumped onto Aki's shoulders, his voice full of spirit.
"See, even Flame wants to go" Aki said patting his pet Charmander's head.
"Well then, if you want to compete that much, you can go to Nuvema Town tomorrow morning and ask Professor Juniper for a Pokedex" Mother said with a warm smile.
"Thanks mom!" He said hugging his mother. He then went to his room to pack up for his journey. Flame followed him quickly.
The next day
"Bye mom!" Aki said as he hugged his mother.
"Bye Aki!" She said hugging him back.
"Common Flame, lets go meet Prof. Juniper!" Aki ran into Route 19, followed by Flame.
Later - in Nuvema Town, Southern Unova
"So this is Nuvema Town! C'mon Flame, lets go meet Professor Juniper!" Aki examined the small town for a minute before running towards the large building in the middle of the town.
"Char-Mander... Char-Char..." Flame tried to keep up with Aki.
Aki stood before the building and the door slide open. He saw a woman of about 25 years old inside. He cleared his throat to get her attention.
"Hello, you must be Akhil, aren't you?" She asked in a gentle voice.
"How do you know my name?" He asked. Flame then entered the building, exhausted from running.
"Your mother called a few hours ago. She told me everything" She said.
"Oh!" Aki then picked up Flame and placed on his shoulder.
"So you want to be the world's greatest Fire-type Trainer, ha? But why did you chose Fire-type?" She asked.
"I love Fire-type Pokemon a lot. Besides, Flame here is also a Fire-type" He said pointing at Flame on his shoulder.
"Wow! Isn't that a Charmander? Where did you get it? It's not native to Unova" She was amazed to see a foreign Pokemon.
"That's a long story. For now, can I get a Pokedex?" He quickly changed the matter.
"Of course! Wait a minute please" She searched inside a table and found a blue Pokedex.
"Here's your Pokedex. This one is unique as it is blue compared to other red Pokedexs" She handed it to Aki with a warm smile. He took it and examined it.
"Why don't you try it on your partner?" She suggested.
Flame jumped down from her shoulder. Aki held the Pokedex in front of Flame. A red light from the Pokedex scanned Flame.
"Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon. The fire on the tip of its tail is a measure of its life. If healthy, its tail burns intensely" the Pokedex said in a female sound, a sound similar to Prof. Juniper's.
"You sure are special, Flame" Aki said. Flame grinned and jumped back onto Aki's shoulder.
"Oh! I almost forgot. Here's your supply of Pokeballs. You do know how to use them, don't you?" She asked as she handed a tray of 6 Pokeballs to him.
"I only need 5. Flame has his own Pokeball but he doesn't like being inside it" Aki took 5 Pokeballs, leaving one in the tray. He put them in his bag.
"Oh sorry!" She apologized and took the tray from Aki.
"I have one more gift for you. Since you are becoming a Fire-type Specialist, here you go" She handed him a box. He opened the box to see an yellow stone inside.
"What is it?" Aki asked as he had never seen something like that before.
"Its a Fire Stone! It helps you to evolve several Pokemon such as Pansear, Growlithe, Eevee and Vulpix" She explained.
"Wow!" Aki took the Fire Stone in hands and examined it. He then placed it in the box and put it in his bag.
"Ok Akhil, you're now ready to go on your own Pokemon journey!" She said.
"Thanks Professor Juniper. Thanks for all your help!" He thanked her.
"Its no big deal! But be careful. Concentrating only on one type can leave your team defenseless. You have to teach your Pokemon moves that can be used against Fire's biggest enemies such as Water and Rock" She explained.
"I know! I will try my best!" Aki assured her. "Ok bye!"
Aki waved Juniper goodbye. Flame did the same. Juniper also waved at them.
Just as they were about to leave the building, a phone ring was heard. Juniper looked at the video-call machine and answered the phone. The screen then showed Aki's mother. Aki and Flame went near the machine and saw Aki's mother.
"Hi dear! Did you get the Pokedex?" She asked.
"Yes mom! Along with some good advise" He said. Juniper and his mom laughed.
"I called to ask you a favor, Prof. Juniper. Could you give him a Xtransceiver too?" She asked sincerely.
"Of course! I have a few in stock" Prof. Juniper said. She then checked one of the shelves and found a blue Xtransceiver. She handed it to Aki.
"Wow!" Aki quickly tied it on his left wrist.
"Thanks Prof. Juniper! Thank you too mom!" Aki thanked them.
"I almost forgot! To get to Kanto, you'll have to board a passenger plane from Mistralton City" Aki's mom said.
"Wow! It's a long journey to get there" Juniper commented.
"Ya, so you just head home for now. We'll go there together!" Aki's mom said.
"Ok mom!" He said with a warm smile.
"Bye son. Good luck with your journey!" his mom wished her son. She then hung up the call. The screen then turned black.
"C'mon Flame, let's go home!" Aki said as he ran outside the building, followed by Flame.
Aki and Flame's fiery journey had just begun. With many goals to achieve and obstacles to face, they will surely do their best to become the world's greatest Fire-type Master!
TO BE CONTINUED...
That's it for the first chapter. I know its short, I actually planned a lot. I shortened it as I got bored of typing all these. I know that the name "Pokemon World Type Championship" is very lame. I couldn't think of a better name. You guys can suggest a name if you want. And one more thing, I loaned it from ichan-desu and Hayden on Deviantart who made artworks of a Charmander with a blue bandage. Check out the photo of this story for Flame's appearance.
Aki's Team
Flame (Charmander) (Lvl. 10) - Ember, Scratch
Now for another feature: after searching through the internet for a while, I found a lot of unknown facts about Pokemon. I'm gonna repeat them here for you guys to read.
Pokemon Trivia
Did you know that Ash was supposed to get a Clefairy as his starter and that Clefairy was supposed to be the mascot of the Pokemon series? It was a last minute switch that made Pikachu the star of the show.
And one more thing, don't forget to review. If you review, you will get a virtual Charmander.
